Vapor Tastings at B&M Stores?

most have EVODs or an equivalent that you can try them on. not really the best way to "test" but it should give you a good enough idea
At the local one here, they have tanks filled with every flavour of liquid. They put a rubber thing on the tip and then throw it out when you're done tasting that tank. They'll have a few ego type batteries lying around for tasting.
most have a little rack setup with labeled (sometime clearly) tanks, with a basic apv, and a box of disposable drip tip covers. quality/age of tanks can vary, usually cheaper top coil tanks, but like Kurrpt says, gives you a decent idea
A lot of times they will let you drip a few drops if you have an RDA with you. It helps a LOT tasting flavors in clearos/cartos is completely different than what you'd taste in an RDA, some for better some for worse. Ideally you want to try a flavor in the setup you'll be using it in. Usually the store will have an array of clearomizers or carto tanks filled with the liquids that they carry and they'll have ego's or some sort of regulated mod. I haven't been to one where you have to buy something if you taste the liquids but I always do because I end up finding something I like, and I'd feel really awkward after trying a bunch of flavors if I just walked out.

That is the way the local shop works. They have a few batteries but love it when you bring your own mod. And all the tanks they have are Vivi Novas, then they rebuild them and resell them for $5 (I got 3, 2 of them for free!)
I went to a shop this past Saturday, I was quite surprised when they had 5 pawns, suicide bunny and a bunch of the other primo juices. What really surprised me was when the dude brought over a bunch of drippers and said have at it! I haven't been to many B&M's but this was a first.
Every other has been what's mentioned above and that is perfectly fine buy me.

All the B&M's here in Naples use the clearos and eGo batteries for testers. I have found that any juice in these varies quite a bit from how that same juice will taste in my mech/RBA running sub-ohm. This was one reason I started making my own juice for what it was going to be used in. Another reason was cost. I save a lot of money making my own, and I get much better tasting juice doing it.
I've never tried B&M juice. I'm afraid I'll like something then have to pay the high prices. I am embarrassingly cheap. Went to a buffet once for breakfast. Stayed long enough to get lunch as well. (They threw me out before dinner though).
I've tried at two separate b & m shops. One had a peculiar dripping tank with a plastic disposable drip tip, the other had stardust type tanks filled with juice with short cut length tube on the drip tip you could screw onto your own pv. I preferred the latter for sampling. Nothing seemed worth $10 for 15ml so I bought nothing....and promptly went online and paid $30 for 60ml of superb juice I knew I already liked. I'll just keep trying sampler packs from online stores on a dripper and pass the flavors I don't like onto friends. Works for me.
The shops I visit on Guam all have testors, I bring in my mod though cause thats what I will be using, however I do my sampling with an Ego-w rather than my 26650 dreadnaut, when I juice my dreadnaut I can easily fill a whole dropperfull on my wick and coil. I dont think the owners want me doing that. So with the Ego-w, one drop on each coil does the trick, I can get a good taste, blow off excess then move on to the next flavor I want to try.
