B & M juice or Web e-juice- which do you prefer

[djezewski]

I am just wondering I know we all like to shop B & M when possible. But there are so many vaping shops popping up out there some of their store make on site is just like they buy the base and add premixed flavors, so I have not had anything great. On the other hand many web stores have very complex juices. I only am bring this up as I would almost rather some B & M would carry some of the complex juices that are available for them to get wholesale. I would like to even see them perhaps carry some of the DIY supplies. I know many B & M focus on kits and CE4's and (not all) for the beginning vaper and maybe they are pretty new to the whole sale aspect of the industry. Any thoughts?

My local B&M is grate Purecigs they also do online. I have ordered from MtBakervapor, AVE, blackvel (something like that), HHV and Halo. And have always been disappointed with 90% of the stuff I have purchased online. There are about 5 places locally I can buy from and I only go to one due to "bathtube mixers", most of these local brands I have no clue where they make them (that goes for online as well). Most big name brands follow food and safety rules. Sanitary environment, clean tools etc. I have purchased at least one 10ml bottle from each local B&M and almost all of them had a soapy taste to their liquid, or no flavor at all. I know I'm ranting just really sucks only have one location to go to for new flavors, kind of scared to order online with all the disappointment I have had with my orders.

Talk to your local B&M and see if there is away you can get other vapers to kind of vote on the next new flavor for their store. Get it to be a community thing. Facebook has a pool system they could you for like 10 different flavors, they can order samples from the company they get it from, and get a 510 atty and have their customers test them, then vote. Going to try and get that going with my local B&M, even though they already have 80+ flavours all strengths. Only in 10ml though.

So far I like online better. MBV and Vapingzone are the two I like the most. I have found a few flavors I like from my local B&M ( AltSmoke ) that were Perfected, EVO and NiQuid and I did pick p a bottle of Jamesons Amelia for dripping.

The only place I have seen premade was at a Hooka shop that was next to my dentist. I was looking for menthol juice at the time but they only had 0 mg and that sure wouldn't do for me.

Both... I have a couple from local B&Ms that I buy, and the rest online. I've had a few duds online, but then I've had a few that I tried in the shop and when I got home was wondering what I was thinking! (I think it was a comparison thing.. wow,... that's nasty.. hey.. this is better... then get home.... ewww.. not as good as this one)

You roll the dice, you takes your chances... but you will eventually find a few that you like from different sources. (but still venture to see what else is out there... I mean.. juice isn't like a jealous girl friend.. it doesn't care if you cheat on it!)

Unfortunately for me, I live in an area that until very recently only had volcano kiosks in local malls... A new b&m just opened a few days ago, but it is about 40 minutes from my house (not a huge deal, pretty much everything is at least 15 -20 minutes from my house) so I haven't had a chance to make it in there yet. I have a feeling I will most likely prefer online after trying them, but that certainly won't keep me from it!

The two nearest B&Ms to me are a head shop which sells some non-descript e-juice along with all their paraphernalia, and an adult bookstore which advertises eGo starter kits (don't know if they sell juice - I haven't bothered checking). I buy my e-liquids from an online vendor who I'm 100% satisfied with and don't see that changing anytime soon.

Yeah.... I think we'll let this just die out right here before we get our hands slapped.... (again)

^ +1. I'd already considered some potential e-liquid names, but it just ain't gonna fly in a public forum.

My closest B&M is in excess of 45 miles away, so I order online, even if one was closer then I'd probably still order online because I am happy, but I'd still stop in time to time.

Austin has a great B&M, All About Vapor. I enjoy the experience of going in and sampling, chatting, hanging out, and they have a big selection of quality juices. Still, online shopping is so easy and all of my favorites are from online vendors.

I'm telling you.... this would be a fun line to do marketing too... nothing is too over the top. Having sold Porn to put my kids through catholic school, I just think this would be fun to get into, just for the naming of e-liqs and mods and such alone.

It would be fun to open a coffee/vape bar.. but it probably wouldn't fly here in FL since even if a bar serves sandwiches you can't smoke in it. (or even has a common doorway with a restaurant)
