Locals vs Chains

[Steam Pipe]

I'm wondering how many people out there have tried the juices mixed in store against the stores that have multiple locations and truck their stuff in from a central location and what you think of them.

This is not to compare them to the national premium juices, just the locals

I looked over the stuff at a chain called Overstocked, but just wasn't interested in a shop that couldn't customize pg/vg ratios or even nicotine levels.

Since I can't help, I guess I was just posting cuz I didn't have anything else to do.

I ask this because we have a shop here that boasts "over 400 flavors" and they all taste cheap. EC Blend has soooo much to choose from that it's hard to wrap your head around. When I was stills using eGos, my coils would only last a few days, the liquid would burn, it would darken from carmelization, and some flavors seemed 'plasticy'.

I found they were making juice that was cut with alcohol and that is what did the juice and coils in. I started going to a different local shop and, lo and behold, my coils lasted up to two weeks! The flavors were cleaner and NEVER tasted burnt. It seems that there is something to be said for quality. I never had a burn issue with premium juices either, so that further bolsters my opinion that, even though EC Blend has some good flavors, their juice is low quality. Perhaps they are pleased with being the Walmart of eliquid.

I guess I should add that the other local shops always provide me with clean and flavorful juices. I now recommend the other local shops to anyone starting their vaping experience. Having many shops doesn't mean you have a good product.

I have only found 1 place out of several vape shops that the in house juices stand up to the quality of some big juice names. Most of what local juices taste like is just down right horrible.

Some shops are good, some are bad. It just depends on the employee's knowledge that's mixing them. If they want to put out quality tasting e-juice in few quantity, or bust out 30 different flavors without caring about quality.

I never cared for EC Blends either. Only tried a small sample pack so no loss. Here are a few vendors that many members rave about. Especially if you are looking for inexpensive juice.
