What city/state do you live in & what's your favorite vape shop?

[jimbodaddy74]

I like Division Vapors & Elements,I've been meaning to try the other one but there are so many in portland it's hard to remember when I'm out. Next time you're on Powell you could check out PDX Vapor,on like 51st they're really tiny but they have a few good juices. I really only go there bc my friend works there so I stop in sometimes to say hi & hang out. Nice people just not a huge selection but it's a tiny place so considering the size the selection isn't too bad. Convenient though since they're in the same parking lot as my piercer so if you want a piercing or tattoo & a few bottles of juice it's only one stop
I'll have to try the other ones next time I'm out.

I went to PDX Vapor when they first opened. At that time, everything was crazy overpriced, even by B&M store standards. I may have to check them out again and see if they've gotten better about that.

Dashvapes for authentic gear, batteries and juice. fasttech for stuff for stuff that isn't worth the asking price...

There's only one store near me (Houghton, Michigan), so it's my favorite local store lol. As far as i know the closest others are a few hours away. 906 Vapor has been open for a while. They've gotten better over the past year I've been going to them. Decent juice selection, not too expensive on the mods and tanks. Their starter gear is a bit expensive, but I like em.

I'm in Gilbert and that shop is at the top of my list as well, by far the nicest one I have been to. They also have excellent prices on authentic gear, typically right on par with the vendor prices.

Having Kidney Puncher here local isn't too bad either.

For Offbeat & Unique, TJ and Bethany are good people. I've been to Kidney Puncher a few times, and they are pretty decent too.

I live in the high desert (Apple Valley,Ca) and I usually go to Vape Out. They have the best prices around and are super friendly.

I live in Northern Virginia, I can throw a rock and Hit 15 - 18 Vape Shops.

My Favorite is a place called Vapers Retreat, especially for juice. Little high on hardware. For Hardware it has to be a place called Vapin Goats. Then just to chill, Vape, play some Foosball is a place called Vapez Lounge.

Still, Vapers Inc, My Vapes and Sick Clouds are all good shops.

Holy smokes, someone who lives in a town that gets more snow than I do!

Only two shops in the entire state of Vermont; Vermont Vapor and NEK Vapor. Haven't been down to VV because all they sell is 100% VG juice and it's way downstate for me, but NEK has a good juice bar and the owner is a super nice guy, but they're a bit on the expensive side. So really, it's mostly online for me.

Chino California, So. Cal. Vapour is my shop of choice. Good people who know what they are talking about and love what they do.

We live in Salton City, basically the desert, 50 miles to town in either direction. When we need batteries, we go to Desert Vapors in Palm Desert. We buy most of our mods and supplies online. I have enough DIY stuff to last a couple years lol.

Orlando, FL here. Bunch of shops all over the place and I got a few favorites. Only E Cigz on E Colonial near Dean Rd has really good house juice, fresh made, and while not as inexpensive as online vendors I can grab my current ADV (Medevil, kind of a vanilla cakey juice) at $30-35 for 4oz. They also sell gear that's decently priced, but obviously cheaper online, but not too bad. Also a small lounge, nice people and all though the owner is knowledgeable about the vape gear, IMO not so much about batteries and safety. Not horrible at it, but I feel I've gained more knowledge than he has, by reading here on ECF (Thanks everyone!).

Orlando Vape and Ecig somewhere near Disney, can't remember exactly but easy to find online by their name. I really really like this store, nice big lounge, super friendly and have a huge selection of juice that I haven't seen anywhere else. Would probably have to look at different online stores to find it all, but it's the "Premium" juice mostly, so you get 20-30 ml for $15-22 depending on the juice. Got hooked on Tortoise Blood by Shijin after I tried it there and found out they carry the 100ml bottles too. I think all their gear is authentic, didn't really look much but I think their prices weren't bad from hearing the guy talk to someone about a mod. Big lounge here too.

Mountain Oak Vapor in Oviedo. Great store, great prices. Grabbed a Tobeco Airek for $15. Their juices are good and I think I paid only like $15 for a 30ml of high VG juice. Also picked up some drip tips and a chuff cap that were maybe 1 or 2 dollars more than what I would see online. I also went later and picked up a Coil Master for $10. Nice store, great prices and nice employees. Also a nice lounge.

I'll give an honorable mention to Vapor Safari too, in Maitland. They have a nice selection of premium juices, price for these is the usual. For gear, they only sell authentics so some are expensive, but I got my Mutation Xv4 there for $35 like a couple of days after it came out and I read about it. They also have a pretty big and nice lounge.

The markup for gear is small enough now that I don't mind spending if I'm in town. The owner is a super nice guy, and has coffee in the winter. The snow here is absolutely unreal btw lol. I've moved into almost all online for juice though.

I'm across the river in The 'Couve, but I spend most of my time in Portland. I buy pretty much everything online because I found my adv years ago. If I had to pick a good shop in Portland, it would be Vape Spot on Burnside (right by Voodoo), and The Vape Empire over on Division. TVE has some super cool folks. I stopped in a couple times when I've visited Nomad Piercing for new wood jewelry.

LOL! "The 'COUVE?" Wow, things have changed a lot since I lived in Portland! 'Course you were just a pimply teenager when I left. (I'm just teasing you ) My brother still lives in "The 'Couve," I'll have to rib him about that new name! ROFL!

Kansas City area. There's several shops to choose from around town ... Of them though, I like Waldo Vapes and KC Vapes, for the owners/employees, Vapor World for the prices & selection (& Aqueous Vapor, as they price match) and Rocky Mountain Vapes for mech stuff & juices.

Studio City Vape for liquids (they seem to be a bit diverse, more so than some of the other locals) although the staff is well.... less attentive it seems to people of ummm..... Age.

NoHoVape in North Hollywood, I don't buy any hardware from them (I go to Xtreme instead for my hardware) but they also have a decent selection of liquids and seem pretty tolerant of their customers.

Vape On in La Crescentia to shoot the breeze, gain or give knowledge. Prices there are higher but the family that owns the store stand behind their products, if you get a bunk product they'll exchange or refund as needed. I can no longer find any liquids there that I enjoy so I don't go there too often anymore. But when I do, if the female owner is there, I can be assured of a 1+ hour shoot the breeze session (which I happen to like as I like their whole family).

Xtreme Vape in Tujunga/Sunland as if you pay cash you pay no sales tax which can make a difference to me between buying or not buying. Some items there are comparable in prices to online prices. Although their kind of hipsters and rarely seem to keep around items. For example went to buy another KangerTech Sub Tank from them and was told they don't have any as they're basically old news, but "here, look at this new tank we just got in....." They seem to want to cater to the hobbyist that is going to buy the latest thing regardless that they've already got 50+ tanks laying around.

Plenty of vape shops here in Maryland, but my favorite at the moment is The Vaper's Knoll in Pasadena, MD.

Great juice for a decent price, hardware isn't marked up too much (it helps when you don't need mod sales to keep the business afloat).

With that being said, one of my mech mods, (Gnome V2) is made by them. When Grimm Green posted his YT review it was one of his favorite mechs.

The best thing about TVK, besides the juice, are the workers. I've always had great experiences with the employees, whether it's free juice or advising me not to spend $ at the store for a better item I could find online for less money.

Putting my needs above their bottom line that day really sealed the deal for me. I don't have to read between the lines for them, and have NO time for vendors/B&Ms who aren't honest with their customers.

I'm just outside of Detroit and I wish I could find a good dedicated vape shop, I have found a few but they don't seem to stay open very long. Surprisingly though one of the smokers outlet type chains around here has done a decent job converting into vape shops so i usually end up going there when I need some liquid, and they are actually pretty competitive when it comes to pricing so I've bought some gear from them as well, definitely spend a lot more online when it comes to hardware though.
