Ok, so it's safe to assume they're all quality brands besides the Zeus I guess.

Well, sure, but that doesn't mean Zeus isn't quality or that the others will taste good to you. I am certain that some won't work (taste good) and some will (taste good), but as to which will and won't, heaven knows.
I understand the difference between taste and quality, I just want to make sure they're reputable sources. I've had my share of cheap Chinese e liquid and if it were something along those lines I wouldn't want to waste my money on it even if it is $1.50 for a sample. Thank you for clarifying that though.
Actually, I'd be MORE comfortable knowing that their business model is to markup for the effort of repackaging and shipping small quantities. That way, they could grow the inventory, acquire more brands easily, etc. If it's just a marketing arm for a handful of vendors, then it's a far more limited service - you'll only get samples from those 4 brands, then you don't need them anymore...
They have to make money somehow, or what's the point? I'm assuming they're making money buying in volume and selling tiny samples at a premium. I still think it's a good service...

Well, every flavor has a link (click here to buy a full bottle) to the original vendor, which is kind of cool - they're clearly specialized in the 1 ml sample business. And ZeuseJuice LOOKS like a pretty legit US vendor - full blown website with huge selection, GoDaddy cart, lots of reviews, ticket system, and a phone number that appears to be Clearwater, Florida.
Interesting concept. I'll be periodically checking back to see if they've managed to get more vendors signed up.
It's a great concept. Think about it--if they buy a 30 mL of juice at a discounted price from a vendor, they can sell 30 bottles from it and double their money (if not more than that). And, although their making a high percentage profit--though, likely, not a heavily tangible one--it is still beneficial to the customers to try so many flavors.
I agree with you- my concern wasn't that they were making a profit, but that they might have been reselling these products without permission, and taking profits away from the original creators. E-liquid is still a relatively small industry, and it'd be terrible to see producers being taken advantage of like that.
But Eliquidsamples is an affiliate and authorized dealer for the companies it represents, so it's all good.

I dig your position on this.
I look forward to them getting more vendors on board.
Not only does sample place make some $, but it does help us know what we might want to buy more of, as well as "show-casing" ejuice vendor's and their wares w/out having to buy 15ml or more to find out!
Zues is a good juice. They have been very popular here on ECF. New vendors come in and become the rage, but Zues is a reputable company. I use their juice as well as a couple of the others mentioned.
Reminds me of a site that does perfume decants and samples for people who either don't have access to the brands to test for themselves or can't afford a full bottle.

I finished all my samples! Took me a few days cuz I only vape about 2 mL a day. The results were pretty much what I expected. 5 of them I didnt like, 3 were okay but I wouldn't order them, and 2 I really liked.
Couple of observations. First, I continue to be amazed at the variation between different people when it comes to vape flavors. For example, one of the juices I sampled, Virgin Vapors Fresh Squeeze, I absolutely loved. To me it tastes just like fresh squeezed orange juicenot just orange juice, but fresh squeezed, with that zesty, slightly bitter, complex flavor you associate with fresh squeezed orange juice. Since I was impressed, I had my husband try it. He didnt love itin fact he said it was Nasty. And he likes drinking orange juice! Its very strange to me.
My second observation is financial. If instead of buying samples from eliquidsamples I would have bought full bottles from the manufacturers I would have paid about $80. By ordering the samples and then full bottles of only the 2 e-liquids I liked, I will end up paying around $45. I like those economics!
I love this service but I don't know if the business model will be successful enough for it to stick around and add more vendors. Seems like once people find enough juices they like and start buying from the manufacturers, they won't come back. Having to find new customers all the time will be tough.

I felt the same way about "Bed of Roses" and honestly when I first tried it I wasnt real impressed...but its honestly grown on me and I vape this daily now!!!! Not as impressed with Best Damn Tabacaoo but iut hasnt stepped very long-Try VVs Celestial Honeydew OMG its good!
Virgin Vapors is the top of my list of 8 vendors I have tried so far to date!!
I have purcahsed from several vendors and of course want to immediately try all the flavors. I usually use a clearomizer but have been trying this with my atomizer (drip tip?). Any suggestions to make sure you have no residue from previous flavor before trying the nest? without getting the burn taste? is there a way to clean them between?
