How many Local shops near you?

[Tim In Az]

From my house, there is one a half hour away and two about an hour away. In order to get to my house, however, you must drive until you reach the middle of nowhere, turn right and then drive about 6 miles. If you see a donkey, you have driven too far.

However, work is situated right in between these three places. So after work the drive to any of them is not too bad.

I realize how lucky this is.

Those are some great directions donkey and all
I'm starting to realize how lucky I am as well after reading all the replies of zero shops nearby.

0. There are none in my area but there are smoke shops on most every corner. A lot of good that does me since the only one of those that carries even juices has an extremely limited selection (6 flavors from 1 vendor) and charges out the wahzoo for them at $1/1mL

Some of the local shops around me are about the same for good American made juices unless it's their house brand.
It's definitely cheaper to buy online in most cases but nice to be able to get when needed.

I know of atleast 5 here in North Carolina within an hours drive of me. I think there are plenty more just outside that drive. Have not yet visited all of them but fully intend to. I knw there are more online stores based out of NC. Several in the Charlotte are. I hope this grows to be a normal thing in society so we have more physical stores to visit. Lots of tobacco stores are starting to get on the band wagon too.

Yup - MadVapes has a couple of stores here, plus Smoke for Pennys (Matthews), and Carolina E-Cigs (Huntersville) both have B&M stores here. MyFreedomSmokes is based here & you can pick up online purchases, but no B&M. Then there's a couple of smoke shops near the university - Infinity's End and High Life - that have a little bit of starter equipment and basic liquid... there are probably other smoke shops around here as well that sell similar stuff.

So, I'd say 7 stores within 30 minutes of me, if you count the smoke shops and MFS.

And I still buy most everything online. *shrug*

None near me online only it's a bummer I would like to be able to see and touch the product I buy but the ecf has giving me most of my info I needed to make my decisions

Agreed. ECF has been a real gift to an aspiring vaper like myself. The people here have been very kind and answer all of my questions in an easy to understand manner. I feel much more comfortable taking the plunge knowing that I have such a large support group here to help.

I heard they sell juice at the indian cigarette store in Carson City.

Ours is stubbornly keeping their ecig inventory limited--tobacco is too sacred to corrupt it by extracting the component parts.

Another cig shop dislikes big tobacco-- they started with big RYO machines, and had to stop that when the tax loophole was closed. I have been persistent in asking for 0mg, and they are looking into carrying more vaping supplies.

Nothing else in this part of the state.

There's one within a five minute drive for me. Prices aren't bad and they have decent juices. Two more 15 mins away. One has better gear than the others around here and prices are high. Other is in a sex shop/head shop. High prices and crappy juice. There's a few more within 30 mins I need to check out one day.

 

[indianajames]

No dedicated vape shops in my town, but the local head shop has a tiny bit of vaping gear, I think.

 

[Servi-Girl]

There are no shops to speak of in Knoxville at the moment. I'm hopeful, though!

6 within 10 miles. 2 are less than 2 miles and most are good shops all are vapor only.

 

[Crasgar]

Nothing close. It's at least an hour and a half to the nearest one.

Luckily there is one close by. They are pretty good and well stocked. There are other local vendors but a couple are run out of peoples houses, not store front operations. There will certainly be more in time.

There's only one, but it's five minutes away from my house, which is nice.

I wish they had more competition, though.

They're usually packed and only have two or three people running the counter. They do have couches to wait on, which is nice. Unless it's the weekend and then it's standing-room only.

Plus their prices are pretty high compared to their prices online. Some items are totally inconsistent, it's like they pull the price off the top of their heads sometimes.

Like I got eRoll carts for $5 the first time, $7.99 the second time, and $4.99 the third. I should have questioned it but I didn't want to be rude and tie them up with complaints while a bunch of customers are behind me waiting.

They do stay very well-stocked, though. I can usually find any basic supplies I need without hassle.

LJ e smokes is about 35 minutes away from me in Edgewater Florida. I love those guys, they are very nice.
We also have one opening next month in Orange City Florida. 1 mile from my house

Lots in socal, went to a few a couple weeks ago to get a setup and everyone was 'sold out' or just trying to sell some crazy mod that I'm not ready to shell out for. I'm going to go next week nd try different ones to get their vibe and get some carto tanks and/or a VN. I like to support local shops and see and feel stuff

3 near me in Dallas, all have decent prices and cool employees.

 

[Troy421]

I have 7 B&M near me and more always coming.

 

[SonjaBlue]

In the Tulsa area (Oklahoma) there are 8 shops with more every month it seems. I'm also not counting the multiple storefronts some of the companies have (Like Vapor Kings who is based out here). I also see more e-cigarette users every day, which is pretty cool.

 

[Oktyabr]

I live in a fairly rural area in a town of about 5,000 people. We have one dedicated e-cig shop about 20 miles away, in a much bigger town, and the two or three "tobacco shops" there are also starting to stock e-cig stuff as a larger part of their inventory as demand continues to grow. Just about every convenience store in the entire county at least carries some of those overpriced disposables.
