Greetings from Williamsburg! It's a vaping wasteland here with only blister-pack disposable e-cigs available locally. I did find a B&M tobacco shop that sells V2cigs starter kits and filled cartomizers, but alas ... no juice. I've been kinda looking around to see if maybe there is a B&M in Newport News. The closest ones I've found are in the Richmond area.
I quit analogs the first week in July (40+ years) after a hospitalization for a bronchial spasm and pneumonia. Yesterday I graduated from V2Cigs and eRolls when I received an iTaste MVP with 2 iClear clearomizers. I also got some Kanger eSmart clearos for my V2cig batteries. I figure I'll use them until they die. I ordered a Pro Tank because I like the glass tank. I like to use the eRoll on-the-go and at work. They are what led me to look into a better device, clearomizers, and tanks. IMO, the flavor is so much better than cartos. Now I'm researching dripping atomizers and drip tips for tasting juices and with an eye towards using them if I go the the Richmond VaporCon. Right now, I'm tasting using a carto with the filler removed. What the heck, works in a pinch!
I get my juice from ECBlend and Mt. Baker. Lots of trial-and-error there! I've begun to fiddle around with DIY juice. I got a quart each of PG and VG (sourced from Essential Depot), and some EZ Sweetz from Amazon. I couldn't find these anywhere locally, not even in Walmart or drug stores. The 36 mg nic base I purchased came from Mt. Baker. Every other vendor I checked was higher-priced or out-of-stock. I got some flavorings from Mt. Baker, and have an order in with Wizard Labs. None of the groceries around here carry LorAnn flavorings, but I did find a very limited selection (24 to be exact) of 1-dram bottles at the local Michael's. I found flavored stevia extracts (PG) at Elwood Thompson in Richmond, but at first taste, the juice was a bit skunky. I'm steeping them and we'll see.
I'm glad I found this thread. I was beginning to think vapers were few and far between in VA, judging from the astonishment of my peers at work when I pull out my eRoll at break time.
