How Do Buy/Get Your Ejuice??

[RavenZ]

How do you get your ejuice??
Do you order online & have it delivered to your door step or Do you have a local vape den you go to and taste before you buy?

I personally enjoy going to the vape den and taste testing before I buy. My vape den has a Dripper's Dream Bar where you can drip 100 house blends & imports as well as they have a juice bar for all the tank lovers to try them out, and a coil building station. You can also request if you find a house blend to have it made fresh with max vg.

I like being able to be around other vapers & tasting everything that way I know what I'm paying for I'm going to like.
How bout you?

For a while I was doing the ZampleBox thing, but recently decided it was worth the potential extra cost (even though I've found many that are actually cheaper) to make sure it was at least the flavor genre I like. Unfortunately I don't have any local B&M shops where I'd be able to test the juice. The only shops near me are tobacco shops that have added vaporizers and e-liquid to their stock. I'll go down to one of those if I'm in a pinch and need something right away, but I'll usually order it online. ecblends, mt baker vapor, and vape wild are my recent ordering spots.

Generally I make my own now, but now and then I'll pop down to my local store and try anything new they have in and maybe buy a bottle or if I have set faves (like gcd from nicoticket) I'll just order online

When I started vaping, I only used "local" B&M's so I could try it before buying. Now that I have tried pretty much everything they currently have to offer and have a half dozen or so good flavors, I am branching out into the on line realm of juices. I will probably always be in search of that better juice. And it's nice when I stop into my shops, they know what I like and will let me know when they have something new that they think might be in my wheelhouse. All in all, I'm having a great time vaping and searching!

I buy all mine online. The shops here hardly have a selection to choose from and at 2.99 a bottle, I'll take my chances.

I'm fortunate enough to have Nixteria about 20 minutes from my house so I go there. The benefit I believe by going there is that I can have them custom make anything I want from the base mix, nic content and flavor, I can taste test, and I can relax and vape in their lounge area. They also sell hardware and help you with coil building. It seems they use quality ingredients and mix them in a clean inspected environment. It's made to order and not just prepackaged and sitting on shelves. So in general I feel they make a great juice at a reasonable price with lots of options. You can order from them online but they make your order individually so it may take a little longer to be delivered. I'm not paid by them to say this and I am still very new to all this but I really like their process and their knowledgeable staff so I would have trouble buying from anywhere else myself.

I'd say 50% subscription service and 50% DIY.

There are two places locally that even carry e-liquid (except for the convenience stores that have a few blister packs of refill e-liquid). One is a vape shop, the sanitary conditions of which make me not want to try their e-liquid, and the other a small tobacco/booze/headhsop that carries a handful of Joyetech and Hangsen bottles with no taste bar.

I'd say the closest half-decent vape shop is roughly a 90 minute round trip for me. I've only gone there once - and they were closed. If I ever make it back to the area again, I may stop in, but I'm not making a special trip.

About 50/50 here as well.

There is a local outfit in the Portland area which only sells their juice through B&M who make two juices (oddly enough the first two I ever tried) that I simply can not do without. One being True Tobacco which is completely different than any other tobacco flavor I've ever tried and far more satisfying, the other being toasted almond, which has a far more natural taste than any other nut flavor I come across.

I'm rather picky about my juices so the other 50% is purchased online (mostly 5 pawns). Yeah, I know it's pricey, but for me, it's just worth it. There is one local shop which "can" have excellent juices for much less, but it seems it takes me far too long to find an acceptable one, only to find they've removed it from their lineup the next time I go to pick up another bottle.

Unfortunately here in the UK the price in B&Ms is terrible. Every shop i have been in from the South Coast up to Wales charges exactly the same price - £5 for 10ml. All the tasting options come in a ce4 clearomiser on an eGo battery. They all pretty much taste of silica and plastic to me.
It's rare to find any vendor selling well known premium juice. Some of the shops don't even know what the VG/PG ratio is on juices they are selling.
No choice for me but to DIY. I can't afford to waste the money on trying juices unless i read a lot of good reviews. Then i order online.

I'm lucky to live somewhere where there are a lot of B&M's within a couple miles from my house. I've only been to a couple of shops but so far I really enjoy trying out flavors to find the ones I really like. I think once I have a better idea of the flavors and brands I like, the more brave I will be to order online.

Let me know next time your heading Wales way, I'll guide you to a good store,
American brands carried,
Testers in nautiluses and kanger equivalents,
But yeah still about £5 per 10ml but that's for the better quality juice, their cheaper ones are less but I don't bother with them

I order my juice online. I used to go to a vape shop but she orders all her e liquid from china and charges too much. She even sells products that claim to be "new" even though they are used. When I found out my mvp 2.0 was used and I paid $70 for it, I took it back to her and she said,"I can't give you a refund unless the product stopped working."

I'll never go to a local vape shop again after that experience. Since then I found a website called "mtbakervapor" and that is the only place I get my eliquid from now.
It's affordable as well, about $9 for a 30ml bottle on some of their juice. As for mods and such, only online from trusted websites. Most of the flavor's I"ve gotten from mtbakervapor have been really good and my 2 favorites are blueberry and happy rancher.

Hey there RavenZ,
Your Vape Den sounds awesome!
I get my juice from local shops. Thankfully there's one just a couple shops down from where I work so I am often stopping by there. There's also one a few miles from my house so I've gone there a few times too.
I haven't done any mail order yet, because so far I've been happy with the flavors I've found locally. I really like to taste before I buy so I'm hesitant to do mail order, unless it would be for a flavor and brand I've bought in person before.

 

[Gnarwhally]

I do a combination of a lot of things. If there's something I can buy locally, and I know that I like, I'll do that for the convenience factor. I'm also lucky enough that my vape shop is awesome and stocks nearly everything on the planet. I also order a lot of juices onlines from Mt. Baker. and Vapebox

 

[Bunnykiller]

I took the advice of many people about the quality and goodness og Heathers Heavenly Vapes juice and ordered from them online ( really quick and easy) and was very happy with the juice I had ordered..... and now, I vape HHV, everything else tastes nasty...

 

[gho55t]

i prefer ordering it from Mount Baker and Vape Joose

 

[jbeef86]

So far I have only purchased from B&Ms. Luckily the Bay Area has a bunch of shops that carry a bunch of lines.

 

[WillyZee]

I make my own ... except for 5Pawns, I find most vendor juice has a pepper tone.

 

[Jim Beam]

I buy online alot, also from local vape shops.
One near my house went out of business this past weekend.
Hate that to happen cause he was my go guy.
I'd like to find a vendor who sell BIG bottles vs the puny 30ml bottles.
I vape alot lol.

I personally am a huge fan of zamplebox, I expect to get some, not so great, flavors every month, but its still a steal as your paying 50 dollars for 120ml+

But I am from NYC which has recently had a huge upcoming in vape shops and I've gotten to love those. I love the environment of them and how you can ask them questions about literally anything and they will respond. A vape shop just opened on the corner of my house which I haven't been able to get too yet because I'm at school, but the second I get the chance ill defiantly check it out.

Id say overall vape shops are for that personalized, homey experience, but I like ordering on line as you can get a much bigger variety of liquids.

Its a 50/50 for me.
