lorikay13,
I saw your post two days and decided to abandon this thread. To come out of the left field about how 'we have to be careful with the vendors' was a little over the top for me. I didn't want to start a big argument and I still don't. But after two days of mulling over this, I feel I need to put forth some points:
1. This thread was never meant to bash vendors. No where on this thread was a vendor mentioned without a specific flavor that was received from him/her. It's always been a vendor/flavor combo.
2. The onus needs to be on the vendor to put forth the information as to where their juices originate from? It shouldn't be on us to have to email them to find out. It's their business, they need to do a better job of it.
3. Yes, a lot of 'em offer samples but they are not cheap. Expect to drop between $30 - $50. I don't have that kind of money when I can't pinpoint where a particular flavor is originating from.
4. You are right about TV having a tobacco juice and good job finding the only positive review for it. There is a thread here on ECF where everyone thinks it tastes like hay/barn/grass. He has great reviews for this flavored juices and I will try those in due time.
I don't mean to offend you or anyone else or the vendors. However, to come around and start offering advise on how WE need to educate ourselves was a little too much for me. Vendors need to be more forthcoming on where they are getting their stuff and/or possibly offer a return policy otherwise it's time to move on to another vendor.
Thanks for listening/reading. And now lets continue with this thread:
Got my juices from DIYFlavorShack. I had ordered 555, DHill and Flue Cured. NOT ONE HAD A PERFUME TASTE TO IT!!
And I got
5 extra juices from her! Couldn't believe it! Now that's what I call customer service and customer retention. I didn't get the same service from any of the other vendors.
I personally didn't like the 555. It was a little dry for my tastes; it's like vaping on roasted peanuts without any kind of sweetness to it. Almost like vaping on dry peanut air, if that makes any sense. But I thought Dhill and Flue Cured was OK.
I love the caramel popcorn!
I do have Peach, Watermelon, Pineapple to try, but I'm not a fruity flavor type of person so those will wait.
Also, on the Smooth 8 from Halo. I left it alone for a couple of days and came back to it. I have been vaping it all day and am starting to like how it tastes! Still a little too much on the "peppery" side but nonetheless it's growing on me and I think I'll continue to vape it.
I do have an order coming from Mrs Ts. Keep you guys posted.
Thanks
