Just depends. I recently found a local store that sells many of the brands I like that I was buying online so I'll probably go to them a lot more now. However, I pay about $1-3 more per bottle than I would online, but I get it right then. I went to a local shop in North Carolina once who was making his flavors by hand and I still get him to ship stuff to me in New Mexico because it was that good. A lot of online shops are really good as well though, tons of variety online.

Long story short, I buy from both local and online. It is more about the flavor I like than where it comes from. Most online shops are pretty consistent flavor wise, and cheaper.

Where possible I buy local, the closer your money stays to home the better in my opinion.

When I do order on line, it is because what I'm looking for isn't available where I live. I'll sometimes ask if my local vendor will order (insert random stuff here) for me, it really depends on how much I like the staff/owner. I know I'll pay double what the same item can be found online for, but that pays the guys and gals hourly wage that work there, I'm very much okay with that.

Don't feel the love at my local B&M, the owner is a $%&$#.

When I first ordered online, I made the mistake of buying a big bottle based on reviews here. Ended up giving that to my neighbor.

Now I order samples or the small bottles first. I keep a notebook by vendor, date ordered, date received, steeping time and big red X on the ones I will never order again. Works for me.

Where in North Carolina is it and what's the name of it? I live in NC and would like to check them out. Thanks!
 
B&M is cool but in my home town Austin,TX I found myself spending a lot of time waiting in line at the local vape shops for service. Most Vape shops here have excellent service, comfortable lounges and ect. unfortunately I don't have time for it so i buy online,most offer competitive prices fast shipping strait to my door. Works great for me. I would love to recommend some awesome online vendors, however I new to forum, not sure of all the rules and don't want to violate???????

Dark City Vapor in Black Mountain (close to ashville)

Google it and go to his site, he has directions.

Definitely reccomend. He will do completely custom stuff, he has dozens of flavors set out and protective mouth tips (no swapping germs!)/batteries so you can try it all before you buy. He'll make it right then and there. Nice lounge set up too. My mom lives a few minutes from the store so every time I fly out there that shop is one of my main stops. =)

EDIT: His prices are very reasonable as well.

I am in Austin, too. I was at Vapor Logic today, on congress! and it was great. You can try all their flavored without help. The guys new their stuff, too. I left with an Aspire Nautilus, which I wasn't planning on buying.....worth it.

I do both. Some flavors of fling want to chain vape at 6mg, + white cloud only does cartridges and ecigs (giving some away). Needed to go taste and find the closest flavors. They offer better deals, but it is priced higher. Also doing halo, and have been looking at mt. Baker. But just getting into it, let me enjoy the flings I like, and start using the juices I have and are still in order (I really like halos Belgian cocoa, but my keep away from the cig with coffee flavor is flings snap, so I purchased a 50/50 liquid called peppermint patty local b&m, 10.80 for 18 ml first time customer special.)

I bought local first. Now I buy online only. I like being able to customize what pg/vg I want and get extra flavor... things like that. There's one shop in my area that does 100% vg and the rest of them only have 50/50. My best friend and her whole family vape, so if I do get a flavor I don't like I can trade with them. It's an awesome system.
