I'm with you, I haven't ordered off the internet just for the fact I like going to the local shop an trying before I buy. In theory if you knew what you liked buying off the internet would be fine. There are only two store's close to me and they both pretty much carry the same stuff so I think the internet isn't too far off.

Both! :)

I love going to the B&M and trying all the flavors first....but each of my local shops only carry 3-7 brands, and I want to try everything! So I order online too. Sure, some were misses, some were just ok, but some were Amazing! I order small if it's an unknown, many online vendors offer sample packs.

I have a local B&M, but their flavors have been really more miss than hit for me. It wasn't until I went online that I realized whatever my B&M is carrying is, ummm, really not that good. It might be their own thing, maybe something repackaged...I don't know...but if they carried something decent and/or well known, I'd be more inclined to support them.

There's plenty of great providers elsewhere and I think many of them are at least worth trying. Check the e-juice reviews forum and the e-juice discussion forum for a lot of great recommendations.

I find the reputable online dealers to be much more consistent. I also find that certain retailers are better at some types of flavors than others. Nicoticket seems to have the dessert flavors down really well. Seduce Juice has great fruit flavors. And of course Alien Visions has their wonderful tobacco flavors, but I just can't stop experimenting as I can always give away what I don't like

On-line. It is a lot cheaper. Originally, 40 days ago, I bought 2 bottles in a B&M store, but someone mentioned a certain on-line store. I got sampler sizes and went from there. I am still looking for about 5 more flavors. I also made a computer spreadsheet so that I know what I like and what I don't. It's working well for a 40 day vaper.

I'm finding that the online dealers seem to have a better choice of flavors, and if you look around you can get a real good deal. MT Baker vapor has great prices, I made my first order there last wednesday and if not for the holiday I would be getting on Monday.

i love mbv and every since i started ordering from them i havent stopped, im lucky one of my local shops carries VirginVapors which is a trusted ejuice company using only organic and FDA approved ingredients. Idk, i feel vaping is very new and some company's don't used regulated ingredients. i always look up and read into every company before i vape their juice, but that could just be me.

Great answers, thanks! I am like everyone else, and am afraid to order online and then hate the flavor. I am lucky, though, there are a lot of shops around me and they all carry tons of flavors. I would say close to 100 each, of their own stuff. I love trying them our first. I find juice to be tough, most ones I try I do not like. I don't want to order a 30ml bottle, them hate it. I would probably force myself to vape it, at that point, just like I force myself to eat my vegetables, haha.

I generally by local, they carry over 50 flavors and I found two that are my faves. One, Black Pearl doesn't have an online substitute. My wife has a few she ordered online and I just don't like them very much. Ordered a sample pack from Halo which proved to be a waste of $26 plus shipping. I broke out of my shell and just received one from Altsmoke.com, Tangerine Swirl that is great.

I hear what you're saying. The nice thing about Mt Baker Vapor is that their 15 ml bottles are only $4.99. If you order at least $15, they also send you a free sample bottle of 15 ml. in your choice of flavor, so that's a good way to sample for your next order.

I recommend U do BOTH..local shops and get to meet and know them and their products, but expect to pay much more than online prices...and also online , like Best E Cigarette | Buy Electronic Cigarettes | E Cig Juice - MT Baker Vapor for cheaper prices (50ml-$10.95, 30ml-$7.49, 15ml-$4.99) and a ton of great flavors, and U pick what PG/VG blend U want...which BTW, gives U a free 15ml sample of any flavor U want for orders over $15..just note your want in the comments of the order..

I haven't had much luck at all with online/mail order juices, even those from highly reccomended / popular vendors.
No matter the supposed cost savings of ordering juices online Ive grown tired of giving away or dumping literally quarts of ho hum to nasty tasting liquids.
I have had much better luck with try before you buy local B&M's.
