One of the most important things when it comes to vaping is finding a good price on all your vaping products, as you need high-quality yet affordable hardware, e-juice, and disposable vape devices to get the most out of your vape experience. Not all vape retailers are alike, and each comes with their advantages and disadvantages. At eJuice Direct, we value our customer’s time, money, and effort put into finding the right products for them, so we are here to break down your options as a consumer and simplify the advantages and disadvantages of each type of store. |
Your town may be full of brick and mortar vape shops, and in-person shopping experience can be tough to beat. A typical vape shop is run by vapers who have the industry knowledge and likely use the products that they sell, so the person on the other side of the counter may be a great help to new vapers looking for answers to common questions. The more you vape, the more you learn, and as you become more experienced, the needs for an in-person shopping experience fade as you become more self-sufficient in your vaping. The downside to vape stores is that most shops have a lot of overhead, meaning their prices are generally higher to cover their payroll, rent, and inventory costs. That being said, a vape shop offers a great shopping experience, but it should not be the only place you look to compare prices, especially when shopping for more expensive items such as vaping hardware. | Long-time vapers remember the days when convenience stores were the only place to buy vape products, and luckily that is not the case anymore. Unfortunately, most convenient store staff do not have the industry knowledge needed to answer tough questions about the products they sell, so new vapers may be left spinning in the wind trying to find the right products for them. While there is nothing easier than the quick in-and-out of your local gas station or drug store, buying vape products here may be more costly than other retailers, as prices often reflect the convenience of the store’s location and fast service. If you know what you are looking for and you need a fast fix, these stores are a good place to start, but they are often lacking in knowledgeable staff and higher-end premium vape products for you to choose from. |
The online vape store is the best one-stop-shop for all your vaping needs, and you can get all of your products delivered to your door with just a few clicks. As they are typically run by vape industry experts, you can usually find all the information you need to answer your questions and get the information you need to make an educated purchase. After all, you are currently reading the Direct Blog, so you are already ahead of the game in terms of finding useful information! Online retailers are also able to offer lower prices because they buy products in bulk to stock their warehouse with hundreds or thousands of products for their customers. As well, these stores can afford to carry higher-end products for the more experienced vapers in addition to mid-range products and kits for new vapers. The only downside can be the wait time and shipping cost required to shop online, but the lower price of products can make up for that disadvantage. |
