Where are you from? What's your favorite brick and mortar shop?

[MzEmmaPeel]

Hi, new to vaping. Hoping to get to know everyone better.

I'm from Las Vegas. I got into vaping by stumbling into Sin City Vapor one day. I've seen others vape before and I always asked them, "What are you doing? It smells so good!"

I like Sin City Vapor but I have to say The Lair is my favorite. That place is awesome. They let me sample 5 Pawns, which was good, but so so expensive. And they have an extensive Flavorz by Joe selection. I've tried three of Joe's liquids and I've liked them all.

Hope to try some more brick and mortars. There's no shortage of them in LV.

How about you?

The only one that is close to me (a couple of blocks away) is VapeNY on Rivington in Manhattan. The woman that helped me out was very nice and very knowledgeable.

I live near Dallas so the number of B&M shops near me is outrageous. My favorite would have to be goodvapes off of plano rd. They have a large selection of both hardware and juice. About 10 different mech mods all the way up to provaris and a good selection of rba/rda's as well. The guys that work there are very knowledgeable and always help me out with any questions I have.

I do however like the juices at Tinbac tobacco better though. They are just more flavorful in my opinion. More expensive but taste better.

I am from South Africa and its rather embarrassing, but there is no real "Vape Shops" with any kind of proper selection.

mgfza - sounds like a fantastic opportunity to start a business - provided local laws wouldn't make it, too difficult.

We have several great shops in my area, a lot I haven't been to yet. Smokeless Smoking in Bloomington is my fave just because they walked me through everything and gave me the confidence to take the plunge.

One of the major players (electronicstix.com) is only 5 minutes from my house, so that makes it pretty easy. There are also plenty of other choices in or around Ogden Utah.

Greenville, NC

The Puffing Pirate's Vaping Chest

Decent selection, great customer service, mixes in house, has store credit for returned juice bottles and heads.

I'm still looking for a decent local shop. So far the shops I've been to don't sell anything that great, PVs or e-juice

 

[ravinaznracer]

im from duluth, ga and there are no shops areound me lol

 

[Hoofhearted62]

Pittsburgh Pa. area here, very few B&M's here but my local favorite is Steel City Vapors. They opened about a month ago and are awesome

 

[SkuttleBug]

San Antonio texas here. There are 3 different shops that I know of. Have been to all of them but will only go back to Thanks For Vaping. They have to most knowlegable staff of the 3.

Cowtown Vapors in Fort Worth, they're sort of a new shop but they have a good selection of tank systems, in house mixing, and are expanding their flavor selection. The staff seem very passionate about helping customers get the right equipment and the right juice--friendly guys. Good prices too.

I'm in Plant City, FL. and the one shop right in town is more of a smoke shop,,,,,,,they didn't even know that the Ego they had was a Twist or what it did (eye roll),,,

I go to Riverview for anything decent (40 minutes away),,,,,,,,,Puffs Tobacco started out as a tobacco store, but it's now mostly vaping stuff.

Inbetween Columbus, Ga & Auburn, Al. Columbus has 2 vape shops that are real good all around, Vapor Craft & TasteFull Vapes. Both have veteran vapers running them & are very friendly & knowlegable. Both places go out of their way to make sure a new vaper has wheat they need without pressure sell. Both also have their own juice made in store. Auburn has 2 that I know of one in the corner of a convenience store & one of Smokin Vapes stores. Don't know anything about the convenience store. Now if Smokin Vapes Auburn is like their Destin store they are well stocked tho a bit overpriced in comparison to the stores I know in Columbus. There is also a fleamarket vendor that also does on line sales.
Out of these my favorite is Vapor Craft & that is only because the crowd @ TasteFull Vapes tends to run on the young side & the store tends to be a bit crowded. I have shopped both these stores & will continue to do so.

I'm from the suburbs of Chicago, and the two main vape shops I frequent are no more than a 30-minute drive from me.
I love going to both CigTechs and JV. And, luckily for me, both are moving (well, CigTechs is actually expanding) to a 15-minute drive from me.
Ooh. October needs to get here now so I can check out the new retail outlets.

Both shops have some of the most passionate and intelligent people working there.
And, I have to say, when the guys at CigTechs started calling me by name/recognizing me, well, that just made me want to go in more haha.

In the panhandle of Florida, bout 60mi. from coast (out in the boonies)
We recently got a nice shop in local town, that's where I got setup, on a recommendation.
They're small, but great!

I went to the "city" yesterday, excited to go to another shop (thinkin they were probably bigger n better.
I knew I was in the wrong place when I asked about drip tips n she handed me a clearomizer......

 

[armoredpig]

I'm from Northern VA. Of the B&M shops I've been to, VavaVape and iVape in Myrtle Beach, SC are my favorite. My least favorite shop is MyVapez in Herndon, VA (poor selection and prices suck badly).

 

[steam cloud]

I'm from Odessa Florida and my favorite store is Tampa Vapor. Nice guys and very helpful. they also have great juices home made at the store.

 

[gargos15]

Little Eugene Oregon has its own vapor shop called Emerald Vapors, at two locations. They sell kGo parts and make 30 flavors of their own e-juice. They even have a free sampler bar equipped with 30 USB-powered kGo/tankomizers loaded with each of their flavors for people to try whenever they want! They have a sideroom with leather couches and a cooled bottled water dispenser where people can just chill and vape their own stuff.

I'm from central MA, and as far as I know, there aren't but one true vape shop within a 1/2 hour drive from me. I haven't checked it out yet, but their website doesn't seem to have as much as I'd like. I got curious about vaping because of a vacation to NC in July where there was a shop on every corner it seemed. There are a few convenience stores that carry generic overpriced stuff, so everything I've bought has been online after doing very thorough research on ECF.
