Purchases online only???

[Joie]

Do we order online only or are there stores or shops that carry supplies? Would love to actually shop and see some materials.

there are shops, most all are very overpriced

The local shops to me average 4x the price of shopping online.

I am very fortunate.
After buying an 808 kit online, I discovered a vape shop a mile from my work.
"Vapor Kings" is the name of the place and they are competitive with the online sellers. (They sell online as well.)
I have been buying Kanger horizontal coil cartos and juice from them and they are working well with my batteries.

VaporSearchUSA has listings, to start looking. If any are near you, contact them to see if they have a storefront.

I bought my vv box mod locally and was in line with inline prices and my wifes ego c locally for same price as online,my un-punched boge cartos were only $1.50

If you're lucky you might find ones locally that are competitively priced. But usually they're way overpriced and the selection is rather limited.

 

[Joie]

Thank you....will keep looking. I imagine as more people wake up and see how this is so good then more will pop up around to shop at.

To be fair the brick and mortar shops do have a lot more over head than on line.
Many online Mom and Pops are working out of there homes.

I order a few things online but I do most of my business at a local Brick and Mortar E-Cig shop. Yes, the prices are higher on most things but I don't think they are unreasonable. For example they sell 10 ml of juice for $5 and they have sample cartos loaded to try, I have ordered some online at a cheaper price but then I'm buying blind.

Most of their gear is eGo style and unbranded, but so far I've had good results from it so I'm not going to complain. If I want to move up to a VV mod in the future then I'll have to go online.

They helped me get started on vaping and I want them around to help others so I still do business with them. It is nice to have a store within a 10 minute drive so when I get the urge to try something different I don't have to wait 2 days to get it.

I live 5 minutes away from electronicstix.com, and the prices in their brick & mortar store are the same as their on line prices.
I can even use their discount codes in the store.
(it's also right across the street from one of my favorite restaurants)

 

[Joie]

Sounds good....I will check on locals for me.
I too would like to keep my $$$$$ local if possible.

Illinois tried to ban sales tho it failed. However, I have yet to find anything other than mall kiosks and disposables sold at smoke shops.

Note to self: learn to read...
Clicked the link from markfm, apparantly some stores around, mostly in western burbs. Will have to check them out.

Welcome t the ECForums. As others have siad there are numerous bring & mortar. In addition to vaporSearch, you may be able to find equipment/supplies at local tobacco shops or, often forgotten, fleas markets. Be careful of the prices, though. If you find a B&M near you that also has a web site (with web-site pricing), many times if you call first and ID as an ECF member they will often give you the web-site prices- at least it has worked for me on most occasions. Many times they will also honor any "Discount Codes" that may be available on their web site.

Let us know how it goes!

I would love to have a B andn M store near me. Seems like even if priced were a little high I Would still be ahead if I could try out some juices.

Keep your eyes on Tobacco Emporiums, yep head shops, my local one carries a couple of Egolikes and vastly over priced juice but good to know it is there just in case.

Also flea markets are starting to have a few places pop up and some have some reasonable pricing. $5 for atty's is one I came across recently. Ok they are not great atty's but they work. $15 for a Stardust I wasn't so impressed by from the same place.

Unless you are lucky in having a online vendor close to you bulk buys and mod purchases are going to remain an online activity for a while.
