Only thing I ever bought from a B&M was a 15ml bottle of juice, cause I was low. Everything else I've purchase on line, and will continue to do so.

I work nights and find the convenience of on-line shopping more friendly than trying to get up in time to go to the local B&M shop for their overpriced products. Find it extremely convenient to get up and walk the few feet to my vapebox and grab my supplies.

I would support local if I could get better prices and sales people that actually knew what they were selling. I have not had real good experiences with small B&M and I can find such good deals on line. I don't mind waiting if I can get good prices. In fact, it's kind of nice to to be excited over getting vape mail.
 
At this point even if a b&m showed up in my area i would be unlikely to frequent it. But that makes sense as i have bought materials to recoil my heads with my next stop being diy juice to give me maximum savings as well as the required skills to continue in the event of a vapeacalypse. Then again after finding out there is a shop 1hrand 20min away i will have to check it out if i am ever near it just for the fun of it

Do you guys buy your gear/liquids at local brick and mortars, online, or both?
I'm trying to do some of both. I buy online when the B&Ms don't have what I'm looking for or if they only have it seriously overpriced. If the B&M has something legit at a relatively reasonable price, however, that's where I'm going to buy it. I want to support the locals whenever I can. I think local B&Ms have the potential to become an important resource for newcomers and winning over critics.

I find myself buying more at my local vape shop lately. I mostly DIY, but the only vendor juice I purchase is from them. And I have recently purchased a couple of mods. I will pay a bit more to not wait for something to ship.

However, there are some things (i.e. carto tanks, cartos, batteries) that I can only purchase online because they are only available from a specific vendor (IBTanked, Ikenvape, etc.). Also, I tend to stick with the same vendors, and have not tried a new one in some time, based on my previous experience with them.

I use both. I want to sample the juice before I purchase. I buy some hardware there also. Their prices are not that much higher to online and if the price on a certain item is way overboard I tell them that too. I think that when the FDA and ATF have their way online ejuice purchasing will be done. I'm not going to stockpile ejuice. I want my B&M to know who I am before I just show up one day because I can no longer get ejuice online.
