I tend to shop online more I get great discounts from the online stores I use
But it is mainly due to being lazy and my local vape shops are crap 
I generally know what I want and my local shops don’t have what I’m looking for and I end up with something I didn’t want lol

In a pinch I go brick because they don’t seem to consistently carry my favorite flavors even after I ask them too so I pay the stupid shipping fees to get what I actually want online.

As a vape shop worker I do have to say please support your local shops or any shop I get that it is easier and some times cheaper to get stuff online but at the same time the reason places like that can go so cheap is they don’t have as many people wages to pay, if you were to shop online please support the small independent shops as we are seeing less and less people everyday which means workers are losing their jobs, we have our own website for our shop [www.vapourium.co.uk]. but yeah please support brick and mortar

I wish I could run out to a smoke shop and grab some nic salts when I needed it. Here in California all flavored nicotine products are ban as of early this year. Not that you can’t find places still selling but they usually only have disposable vapes. If they trust you enough not to be a cop or narc they lead you to a back room or a locked drawer to pick out what you want. I have yet to find a store that has any nic salts since the ban went into place. So I must search online to find sites that will actually ship to California! Most of the big ones won’t ship here due to the ban. The ones that do have an extra fee for a required adult signature that adds even more money to the order. So when ordering, of course I stock up as much as my wallet will allow! By the end of my online order I’m spending well over what I would have if I could go out and buy at a smoke shop. It’s a luxury that I wish I still had!

I would also like to add a lot of online vape shops
Own actual brick and mortar shops giving them bigger reach to more customers than just local trade
So buying online your still supporting them as if your shopping in thier actual brick and mortar shops.

to be honest, as I work in a vape shop I’ve not needed to go online for my stuff- (www.vapourium.co.uk) - I must admit when I first started vaping, I tried both online and in store, the shops around me were awful, I always felt like I had to know what I was asking for in my local ones, and online was fine, again, as long as I knew what I was looking for which as a newbie to the industry, I had no clue… Once my husband-to-be introduced me to the shop I work at now, I’ve not shopped online once…
