I'm sure most people here prefer to order online(better prices and selection). There are plenty of reputable vendors out there....
here's a couple of very trustworthy companies.... eciggity for mods and gear giantvapes for premium ejuice
There's a bunch more but you shouldn't worry about these 2. hope that helps

I've never visited a brick and mortar store. In over five years of vaping! Like any online shopping, use a credit card or PayPal so if things don't go well you have some recourse.

Like Firestorm said, if you list the online vendors you are thinking of ordering from, you will get feedback. I really haven't had any bad experiences ordering online at all. Maybe I've been lucky?

I get all my hardware (and juice very occasionally) from Fasttech - they're *great* - massive range, good service and great prices.

They are absolutely fantastic for good clones - they get them in and quickly, and the reviews let you know which ones to go for. Anything that is labelled 'Authentic' is authentic, and anything labelled as 'Styled' is a clone.

Don't order from there if you're in a hurry, though...

My local shop has a few brands that I love like... Fixx-E Liquids, Cosmic Fog, Cuttwood, Five Pawns, and Jazzy Boba. I just would like to find some place I can trust to buy from now that my store is closing.

I order from Five Pawns directly. I try to order more than $50 so I can get free shipping. I haven't tried the other eliquids that you mention, but some I've heard of and I'm sure there are plenty of reputable vendors who sell them.

You can find many of those at Giantvapes. Good site, have ordered many times from there. Not so much anymore since doing DIY.

I also had great luck with Fastech...........takes awhile to get to US from fastech....but great prices....and selection.....8,000 items...

I think, for hardware, I have only purchased once at a B&M. That was for my initial purchase. Then, I was searching on-line for reviews and realized that I paid a HUGE mark-up for my first mod.

For juice, I have gone to vape lounges to try internet available flavors. Blindly purchasing online has given me about a 10% success rating. That gets expensive. But, when I go to a lounge and try flavors, if I like them, I will buy the bottle for any flavors that I like.

Clicking on "Forums" at the top and scrolling aaallllllll the way down you will get to links for internet vendors that have been deemed...reputable. That is a good place to start.

I do have to say that no single vendor carries everything, nor are they the cheapest in everything. Their is a fair amount of shopping involved.

Good luck!!

I just wanted to know if anyone here as ordered online? I normally go to a local B&M store that is closing soon due to the regulations. I am kinda freaking out a tad! How do I know if the site is going to take too much info from me and who can I trust?

Please help!

Had good luck at a Fasttech, Amazon, The Perfunerers Apprentice, high Desert Vapes, and Eciggity.

I have also been lucky buying here on the classified section here at ECF once i became a verified member.

That really would be best.

For hardware: I've been getting a few orders from Fasttech, and as in Canada, I also get items from Canvape.

I've yet to find better prices. I'd get more from Canvape but their inventory is small compared to Fasttech.

So far, my experience with both has been pretty good to ok:

Canvape:
Pros:
great prices, shipping has been within 2-3 days at the most. Good selection, decent communication.
Cons: Just one so far: one situation that I didn't notice that an item was missing from an order until after a few weeks later as I had grabbed the important stuff out of the bag and set the rest aside assuming everything was in there, just not needed yet, and their policy is 24 hours, so that was my loss (was a fairly inexpensive item, so not end of world)... I understand their policy, but the point is that they missed an item from an order. (note that I've done a few orders from them, and this was a single incident)

Fasttech:
Pros:
amazing selection, including items that very few other online stores carry, excellent prices for most item.
Cons: shipping is slow... you need to use DHL (1$ extra) to get items in reasonable time (about 10 days for me, otherwise, the basic free shipping can take 1-2 months). Their support is very slow (2-5 days to respond). Some "out of stock" items can take a long time to be replenished, placing your order on hold for over a week (some items they end up not getting any more and note them as discontinued). Packaging is not the greatest... (I had sheets of insulating rings for batteries were simply stuffed in badly, damaging some, bending many of the rings. They gave me 35 cents refund over it.)

At one time and maybe still eCiggity sold several Juice lines.

Since you are looking for specifically brands; the best thing you can do is use Google to find companies that sell the Juice lines you want.

Once you find online stores selling those juice lines then come back here and ask "Are companies A-F legit?" then we can tell you what experiences we had with those companies.

Pretty much most of the good vendors have been listed that have good customer service and good pricing. Stating you are a bit privacy minded, without a CC or PayPal account you can use an alternative, a reloadable Debit/Credit Card. Fill out an order, get to final payment processing, see final price, go load your card for that amount, get home, make the payment with the card, processes just like a standard CC, benefit no one has access to any of your other accounts, if someone tries to pay something using that reloadable card number, no money to take. I personally use a Walmart Prepaid Debit card for all my online purchases where sites do not accept PayPal
