911, I think I have a Problem

[sandybeach]

Frankster, you crack me up with these threads!! I just counted all my bottles of juices. I'm ashamed to say there are 76. Out of those, I'm sure 50 taste like crap, 15 are okay, 5 are good, and 6 are awesome. Some are swaps I've gotten from other people. The amazing thing is that something can be on the Top 10 list, and everyone here loves it, and I think it tastes vile.

I have to say the PV4 isn't horrible. (I inherited it ) It's just really harsh on my throat because it is 24mg, and I vape 12 or 6 mg. But I do like the flavor. I got a sample of Boba's Bounty, and it is 18 mg, so too strong for me. It kind of tastes like prune juice to me; not so good.

I just won a contest here and got $50 of free juices. I chose 6 juices from Copper Creek because everyone raves about them. So far, none of them are really a winner yet to me. Maybe they'll get better by steeping.

I'm thinking that the thing to do is just stick with the ones I really love and stop trying new juices. There is one vendor that makes juices that really are delightful to me; that's Nite Lite Vapors. I've only tried one that was so-so by them. But I could vape Renegade, Vanilla Strait, and Bounty Hunter all day long.

I am glad you like my threads, you are probably the only one. Also, I find it amazing you like pv4...I guess different strokes for different folks. I just tried a new juice from Highbrow...it;s their ry4...I do not mind a floral note, but this smells and taste like a bad perfume. This juice belongs in my Hall of Shame thread at a number 1.

I really cant taste any caramel or vanilla at all...who makes this stuff...lol...just Horrid...sorry people

I agree there is "something" off about cream flavours and caramal flavours.

Frankster, I hope you find your vape fav soon.

I have 3 that I love: Peach, Caramel Mocha Frappucino, & Pralines & Cream. My tastes depend on my mood & the time of day. Rarely do I stay with one flavor all day.

Sometimes even the ones that I love don't taste right, so I try something else. I keep 8 different flavors ready to use in cartomizers at all times (all color coded). If I don't like one, I'll toss it in the bin & move on.

So far my favorite vendors for ejuice are Vixen Vapors & V4L, but who knows that may change too. I'm only 2 months analog free, so I'm sure that my tastes will change. Now I'm trying some DIYing & it's fun...like a kid with a chemistry set.

Happy hunting to you

Sorry about the Highbrow RY4. It is really really really bad. I think it just inches out Dekang Chinese Wolfberry on my #1 yukkiest juice list.

On a positive note... I tried two new juices today that are amazingly good.

Line Rider - Nite Lite Vapor -- reminds me of riding horses out in the country. Really smooth and good.
Sun Dance - Nite Lite Vapor - similar to Bounty Hunter but maybe a little orange in there.

 

[Pilirock]

sorry about the Highbrow RY4 frankster, I recommended that to you, I really like it, I must say, maybe if you let it sit open for 2 days and try it again if you want, Because For me it was a little perfumy at first but man it grew on me after I let it sit for 2 days, also if there are companies you don't like , don't try any of the other tobacco flavors they have, they usually have the same base to them so the base is what you might not be liking. Also the Highbrow does taste a lot better to me at higher voltages ,You are a tough crowd that's for sure but Still think you will find something and you are sure making me want that DULCIS so bad !!! If they only had it in Stock.

I don't know what all the hype is about RY4. I brought two types of RY4 juice from known vendors and I didn't like the taste at all. One was Alien Vision's Raf-(their version of RY4) and Vapor Room Ginger's RY4. I couldn't vape these at all.

However, Boba's Bounty I really like!..The taste to me is like honey/pipe/pepper like tobacco which I can deal with and vape with no problem. Go figure!

peace

Yes, the much raved about RY4 ... While I have never ordered or tasted any vendors RY4, the flavor profile was always appealing to me so I mixed my own ( DK Tab, Buttery Caramel and Vanilla) and Hot Damn this stuff is sooooooo good.

Just to satisfy curiosity I was thinking of ordering the most raved about RY4 juice, just so I could compare my own to it and see how it fares .... after reading several recent reviews about various RY4's, I have now changed my mind.

and correction, I just remembered that my fav vendor sent me a clearo filled with RY4 (no clue who the manufacturer is), and it was just ok, not good, not horrible .... my own mix is much much much better.

Just a quick question... have you ever considered bumping your thread from the previous day, instead of making a new one? I mean, nobody can make you do it, but personally it just feels ... spammy. We know that if you try a juice there's an almost infitesimal chance you'll like it, does that need a different thread every day?

 

[Battletroll]

I'm a picky eater mainly steak and potatoes. Like my steak rare to medium rare covered in garlic salt. I have tried so many different flavors with no luck as well. A local shop pushed me into hot cinnamon and it is all I smoke on a VV set to 4.6 V. You can get it at a few locations. This is my alternate secrete location as my primary source is out of stock.

High Caliber Eliquid Hot Cinnamon

Just get A small quantity 10ml and see what happens. I also noticed the WOODY and NUT flavors have arty aftertaste.

You are absolutely right...One thread with what my opinion is on a particular juice...This thread does not have the proper title for that though, my other thread from fame to shame is the right one...I will use that one...I believe you that there is almost no chance that I will like the juice....I wish I had the answer for that by my taste buds are not happy with these juices...lol

 

[GracieM]

Thanks, I'll give those suggested vendors a try in the future. There are too many e liquids to list on this thread but wanted to show I have tried a lot. Slow going but I'm learning. For me, I now avoid citrus tastes and some vanillas.
It is a downer and frustrating when majority liquid I try have some sort of off putting taste. Only reason to keep going is it’s a trade off from the worse, the analog........... and for me, my family would keel me if I went back to smoking
Next orders are coming. Hoping one is good for these overly picky taste buds.

Hope you find the right one for you Frankster

How about The Great Wall of Shame thread??
...the more graphic the descriptions, the better.

 

[Jim Bob]

Tobacco flavors are not for everyone. Even though I vape tobacco 95% of the time I find switching to other flavors (CC House BlendDIY rootbeer, Blue Mist's chai tea) is a welcome change And I enjoy my DK tab, 555, Neusmoke Turkish even more when I "mix it up" a bit. YMMV

Hello there, That is the thread where I'm going to post what I think of juices...this thread really was just about one juice...The hall or wall of shame is much more fun I think. Copper Creek is my next stop. Even though I have two more ry4s on the way, my expectations of any ry4 is dismal at best. lol

 

[Jim Bob]

If you do decide to try Copper Creek two of the best (IMO) that I personally love to vape are the now famous House Blend and Choc Chip Cookie , these are great on Ego with 2 ohm Boge FWIW

 

[pmoraldo]

Love my Boba's just got a jumbo 100ml bottle but my wife on the other hand doesn't care for it you are correct though taste is extremely subjective

 

[GracieM]

The one's I have leaned towards are the tobacco flavors with a hint of sweet. I'm going try the Copper Creek House. Thanks.

Hello there, I think I am going to try their voodoo and one other tobacco...never had anything from them but hear alot good stuff about them . I will them a look see.

 

[Jim Bob]

Copper creek gives a small free sample with every order so you can "test drive" another flavor - just put your request in "comments" as I recall

 

[Antidevil]

I think you should just cut out the middle man and just vape puke. Here are some advantages:

1. Save money on shipping!
2. You know what you're getting.
3. It's fresh, no need to wait 24-48 hours for it to steep.
4. Also mixes well with Everclear.
5. Your dogs will love the way the house smells.

As an added bonus, you could label it with great brand names, like "Tossed Cookies," "Nicholas Cage Rage," and "Prom Night Punch."
