e-cig Source, LLC

Since 2012, e-cig Source, LLC has built up a reputation in DeLand that few vape shops anywhere can match. Ask around and you'll hear the same thing over and over: people who have tried other shops keep coming back to this one, and plenty won't shop anywhere else. It's earned a strong following in DeLand and well beyond, with a stack of loyal folks singing its praises. The selection is deep.

On the e-liquid and vape juice side, they carry the whole Monster family (Jam Monster, Fruit Monster, Frozen Fruit Monster, Ice Monster, Custard Monster, Tobacco Monster, Lemonade Monster and PB&Jam), plus names like Coastal Clouds, Five Pawns, Naked, Juice Head, Pod Juice, Bad Drip, Sad Boy, Ripe Vapes, Vapetasia, Twist and I Love Salts. You'll find disposable vapes, hardware from the likes of Innokin, and a real trove of accessories. That last part is where they shine. More than one person has told us this was the only shop that could turn up an obscure adapter or the right o-rings for a drip tip, the kind of hard-to-find part nobody else stocked.

The people are the other half of the story. Regulars rattle off names like Peggy, Nikki, Justin, Aaron, Pru, Skye and Julie, and they'll tell you the team is patient and genuinely knowledgeable, whether you're new to this or you've been at it for years. The word around DeLand is that fair prices meet real service here, and they ship, too. Folks in Las Vegas, Southern California and elsewhere order from here and get their packages fast, often with a little welcome gift and a handwritten note tucked into the box.

One more thing everyone mentions: the shop cats. Wicked and ViVi, a couple of friendly black cats, hang around the store and have become minor celebrities in their own right. Clean, welcoming, and well stocked, e-cig Source is a genuine local favorite in DeLand, Florida.
