My job keeps me traveling all over the country. Usually I end up with some free time and visit the shops to sample juice from the local makers. I try to avoid the brands I can get near home and have found some great juices. Anyone else do this? Truck drivers, airline people, other tech service people etc chime in with any recommendations of good places. It's always a great conversation starter when you ask who the best local juice maker is

I travel at least once every other month, and am trying to stop at nearly every shop I come across between here and my destination. Some juices I buy, others I walk or, in the case of one shop in Erie, run from. I can't remember the name of it, or it's physical location, but I doubt I'll ever get that flavor out of my mind. It was supposed to be a nut and fruit blend, but my imagination equates it to what Cocktoo crap must taste like.

It's always enjoyable finding good juice, and bringing it back home.

How do you find that the prices are varying? between shops? cause like west ga vape was not to bad but that dude in dallas was crazy expensive like 8 buck for 8ml of juice of course its my favorite juice so far but idk lol

Prices vary pretty greatly around here. Until the 4th, I hadn't purchased juice in a while since I DIY. Before that, the cheapest I found it in the Chicago area was at a stand in a mall and I think it was about $12 for 30ml. Before that, shops I visited would be about $20 for 30ml. I went to Madison WI on the 4th and found it for $7 a bottle with $5 refills if you brought the bottle back in! And it was excellent!

Prices can vary highly from one street to the next. Juice makers don't have MSRP, so it's up to the shop owner to make their own prices. The only constant in pricing I've found is online, buying direct from the maker.


true well i would hope that they never go to map pricing because it would drive the quality out possibly

I was in Dallas, TX once, and there was a B&M shop in the area (don't remember the name unfortunately), that had the BEST Apple Pie juice I've EVER had. Tasted 100% like the real thing, even the ice cream on top. Lol, I bought a couple 30ml bottles back to FL and went through them in no time.

Edit: Not knowing was bugging me, so I started scoping them out on Google Maps, lol. For those who live in the Dallas area, I think (80%) that it may have been Good Vapes, Good Vapes E-Cig E-Liquid Electronic Cigarette E-Juice Shop Purchase Online.

I'm in Northern Cal this week. I won't name the shop but the were charging $.99 per ml for the house blend and also for the national brand juices and offered "discounts"'on those prices. They must be using pure gold for the juice bases

I travel often enough for work and one of the first things I think of is what to do at my destination. Of course, I always check to see if there is a vape shop or more. Unfortunately, a lot of my travels are in more or less remote areas, but I just came back from a trip to Pasadena near Houston. I went to Vapor Sense in La Porte, which is not one of the biggest shops but they have all the popular gear.

I can't say the staff are exactly the type to jump off their seat to greet you, but the service is excellent nonetheless and I had some great conversations with them. They have a great selection with hundreds of juices for all tastes. They also expressly mention they have rebates for the military, health workers, industrial workers and probably others I can't remember. They also offered to mix in-between nic content for me, which was great!

I can't wait till those juices are steeped, but I also am grateful I don't travel all that much in areas with vape shops as I am already almost 2 months worth of juice in steeping with these and would hate to see any go to waste...
