Okay I just got back from something I am calling VapoPalooza. Was driving from CT to the Chicago area and stopped in several shops along the way. There are three stand out shops. My local shop is North East Vapor Supplies in Branford CT. nevapor.com They are the best people and bend over backward to make going there a great experience. Groove E juice grooveejuice.com is in Kent Ohio and their juice is great, their space is great, and they guys in the shop are fun and helpful. Last is E-Cig Emporium in Elyria Ohio. Mike, who runs the place, is really great and is willing to take time to talk and show all the products. Those three B&M shops really stand out. While not a B&M I would also like to give proper respect to Kevin of FreE-cigs.com who let me pick up at his home and seems to be a real stand up guy. The thing that these places really have that others didn't is passion. The people running these businesses are passionate about what they are doing, not only as a way to make a living but as a way to help and educate people.

Emerald Vapors in Eugene, Oregon... So glad to have a B&M in town!!!!!! They are super busy since opening in November... Nice to have a local place to send the curious to try flavors and check out hardware.. Also nice for picking up cartos, batts, 510 slims, KGO, twists, Vamo, a spare charger, drip tips, and Colin will even help with rebuildable atomizers! I like to stop in just to see what's new and check out local vapors!!

Just found a local vendor that is open to the public. Fluidvaper, in Bohemia, NY (Long Island, Suffolk County). I went there the other day, great service, Rob was awesome in helping a relatively new vaper with my noob questions. I wound up buying a new Ego, a couple of Kanger MT3s, and some really awesome juice!!! (Blue Moon is a really tasty fruit/cream/light menthol blend, unlike anything I have vaped to date, and not perfumy or artificial tasting)

Just wanted to give him and the company a shout out ! They are pretty "under the radar" as a local vendor, and they deserve a lot of praise !!!

The other one I cannot post here, but they sell EctoPlasma and is located in Volo, IL (moving to Crystal Lake in August).

For more beginner devices, 2 more okay stores are:
Advanced Electronic Cigarettes, Lake Zurich IL
and
Quitters, Burbank, IL

To add to the Illinois stores High Tech Vapor in Aurora IL is run by a great group of people.
 
The best vape shop in town (IMO) is Vapor Kings. The vaping thing is kind of an weird counterculture around here, and VK is the biggest, so a lot of people seem to dislike them. There are a few mom and pop stores in town, but they tend to be spotty with stock availability and they seem to carry a lot of questionable kit. VK staff have been good about dealing with most of my issues with my mods and tanks and stuff. I just got a Sid and saw that there was a stuck row of pixels in the display, so they took it, no questions asked. It didn't interfere with the operation, but I just didn't like the way it looked, so they humored me.

We have quite a few in the Phoenix Metro, I have only crossed over three weeks ago, and have made it a goal to check out a different one each week...I can't say I have a favorite yet, all have been great, the only problem is I try their in house mixes and like so many, I buy buy buy....maybe I should limit myself to one a month:)

So far:

Hi-Tec Vapor
.... Out
Vapor Vortex

Newport Vapor Room always great and friendly service, and some amazing ejuice. I previously went to some other vape shops that made me want to order online and never go to a brick and mortar shop again. Glad I found Newport Vapor Room. They will have a loyal customer with me. I even registered for Yelp just to give them five stars.

e cigs by s. wicks in downtown boise is awesome and vapoligy just outside boise ain't too bad.


So many Boise-area people in this thread, I love it! I prefer Carl's store ECIGS By S. Wicks - Stay and Vape a While - he carries a good variety of juices from different vendors, and is a great resource for anything e-cig related. I'm not a huge fan of vapoligy's juices.

Long beach, ca
Novo vape in Hawaiian gardens, ca....ton of selection on juices...house blends and other vendors. And awesome staff.
Vape street in Artesia, ca. Great prices on RDA and accessories
Vapor craze in Long Beach, ca. That's where I got my first mod and went back for a mech mod. Like their juice but not much of a slection but cool place
E Cig City 2 in Artesia, ca....love the fact that they carry juice in 3mg by E Liq cube..I don't have to mix 6mg & 0mg to get 3mg
revolver vapor long beach, ca...great prices on tips and good juice

The best part of these places is that you can test all their juices before committing to purchasing.
