Congrats to the juice winners! And a hearty thanks to Beyond vape for the contest. I enjoy having a place to share my less specific vaping experiences and thoughts, and chat with others here about whatever. None of my friends smoke so I don't have anyone else to share my vapexcitement with. I've tried, but I get the same looks from them as when I talk about MMORPG's or vintage analog synthesizers.

When I go out driving, I take my Itaste SVD with a charged 18350 batt and a spare, an Iclear16 full of either MBV Orange Dream Bar or Cotton Candy, and vape away, putting the device in my center console. A 18650 batt is a bit big for vaping in the car, especially because I drive a stick and it's not easy to shift with one hand and hold the device against the steering wheel with the other.

Vaping has taken the place of smoking in a way that I don't feel like I am missing anything. In every situation that I used to smoke, I feel just as satisfied when I am vaping.
For a while, the one place where I struggled and still wanted a smoke was when I was driving, but I didn't give in and now that feeling has passed. Someone gave me the good advice to keep some higher nic for when I was in my car, and I think that worked well.

5/18 thats why once a week or so I spend a few hours at my favorite b&m, shooting the breeze and learning more

You know, I would probably do that too except the last several times I went into my nearest b&m there was some dude running his mouth non stop and totally monopolizing the clerk's time so I couldn't get any service or conversation at all. I haven't been back since. From your description it doesn't sound like you're 'that guy', but you've probably seen the type I'm talking about: 'The Over-Opinionated Expert'. They hang around music, electronics and computer stores, too.

Never been to a b&m and when I first started vaping, this was something I felt I needed to do but as time has passed, I really see no need. There are none close by and I can get whatever I need online. I would still love to go to a Vapefest without a day's travel to get there. Pittsburgh PA would be a great place for one :)

I made my first purchase at a b&m.... worst mistake ever. Ended up spending about $70 on a knock off ego kit with only one battery in the kit. Ever b&m I've been to (only 3) have just been ridiculously over priced. The kit I bought from there didn't even last me 30 days until the battery fell apart, and even the charger fell apart after two months! Shameful

we finally got a vape shop in the next town over, a real one not a smoke shop converting...

Nice place really, lots of juices to try or sample.
not a lot of brand choice and the owner makes his own juices as well.
Prices are ok, some higher, some lower.

One thing i can say, it's nice to have a place I can vape in, talk to like minded people and not feel like I am being rushed to buy an over price ego, like the converted smoke/vaping shops.

Looks like I have a place to visit when the once a month bunch of Dr's appointments happen...

Congrats Luke213, tnash, and Morri...........Thank you visionshock/Beyond Vape for a wonderful place to chat and get prizes also....

I need to go back to a newer B & M that I only had a few mins to check out, the last time I was there the owner was not.....It was a younger couple who I am not sure knew as much as I do about vaping....

I have not been to a b&m store in quite a while. I buy too much stuff online as it is...plus I always feel obligated to buy some stuff after chatting with the workers/owners. I guess it would be a different story if the stores had really great prices and selection, but it is the opposite - at least the stores near me.

Even if I can't get a word in edgewise, one can learn a lot just listening.
