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 :)

You didn't list any. We could offer suggestions if we knew the flavor you liked or where you ordered.

Sort of pointless if we might offer one that you've already tried and hated.

I was just adding to the thread, kinda agreeing it's tough when we get e-liquids and they are not what we hope for. I felt adding my list, which is quite long, I would be taking over a thread that was posted by someone else.

I was very frustrated yesterday. As one, I was told to steep literally tastes like dirt still.

I'll add list to my post now, since you mentioned it again. Going by memory. Flavors are off top of my head, I definitely missed some. Not in order of when I had them.


Chinese eliquid Dekang (2 vendors different vendors) None of the Dekang is not for me.
DIY Flavor Shack coffee couple others
Awesome Vapor
BWB Apple Wood, Cappacino
KickBassVapor Nutty Uncle KY I think citrious in there? Not sure but don't like.
Vaperite Toasted Hazel Nut
Nitelite I think it's Sundance. It had citrous. I don't care for citrious.
V4Life 555
Vermillion River Vanilla and the Maple
Vapor Station Texas, Frisco, flavorless, Chocolate (didn't care for that) Cafe Sumatra
AVE Bobas Bounty and 555
Highbrow Pear delicious not all day vape though. Hazelnut Cream good.
Pure Smoker Didn't agree with me. 2 sample flavors. Clove/coffee

Some I did like but are not something I could vape all day.

Vapor Station is my favorite by far. There is a smoother finish. Except I had two recently that didn't taste as the original time I ordered. Vermillion is good but was too much vanilla for me. I didn't try their house because I was thinking it may have that vanilla in it as well.

I have two orders coming from, BWB for Casablanca and Nutty. BWB have a good flavor but my first choices, were too sweet for me.

Also have an order from Prime Vapor order coming too. So we'll see. :)

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."

Does this mean you won't be sending me any juice to try? Find me a good juice out there and I will be happy to vape it.

Contact Vapor Station. They said they might have messed up their last batch and left a flavoring out.

I'm not a huge help, I only vape a couple juices and stick with them. After trying hundreds (seriously) of juice, I've found I don't like vanilla or anything cream. Or tobacco. Or sweet! :laugh: I just do mint and fruit.

It might not be a bad thing to try menthol, then, if just for completeness.

Offer's still good to try a couple of my DIY concoctions, if you let me know mg and whether you have any difficulty with PG or VG. You've been having a bear of a time finding something you really like, it won't hurt my head if you don't find my mixes of interest.

You might get a bad review Mark- end up in the juice hall of shame!

I'm just kidding with you Frank. If you think you'd like menthol, I have some you could try.

I'm shameless :)

Since it's diy, I'm not seeking a review, just curious as to if any of the things I brew do match what Frankster is looking for. Anyone making an honest attempt at vaping gets my encouragement :)

One of the members here gave me a juice they made that I vape at night because it's low nic. and love it. Know how I say I hate cream? Well, this is strawberries and cream and it's about the only juice with cream I like. She even gave me the recipe but I can't duplicate it to save my life.

Reading all these posts brings back so many memories of high expectations and crushed hopes, frustration and despair, ready to give it all up - finally: flavorless :D I've been preaching about it around the forum and for those that are fed up of horrible tasting juice and dropping a lot of cash on hyped up juice, I highly recommend trying it. It's surprisingly enjoyable and the best part is that my pregnant wife's bloodhound-like sense of smell isn't bothered with the smell wafting from my office.

Mark is a mixmaster and you truly may find something that you like from him. Probably a better chance than with any vendor you might try. lol

Good luck to you! I know how frustrating it can be to find something that you like.

BTW- I enjoyed reading your thread :)

Hello there, does it not get boring vaping flavorless liquid. I know that it did not matter when I was smoking analogs that the tobacco was horrible as long as my addiction was satisfied, but I feel that vaping is quite different. When I vape a liquid that I feel is terrible, it becomes an excruciating process to vape.

I need something that has a flavor I can live with at least. More power to you...you save plenty of money and you do not have to continuously search for something good. It becomes totally frustrating when your taste buds wont accept flavors.

Thanks for the offer, but based on my taste buds, there is a 99 percent chance I wont like it. I do not want you to waste juice that you or someone else might like. As for the menthol...I think the chance that I would like it are almost none. If I think that juices that are highly praised on ecf and elsewhere are just horrible, I can only imagine what I would think of menthol...lol

You are right...it seems many people think I am making this stuff up...I just hate these juices, I have no idea why. I was sure that ry4 would be my juice and I still continue trying all the so-called best ry4s. I find one worse than the other. The ry4 big roundup ( great thread) has cost me nothing but money. Every juice I purchase from that roundup literally makes me sick.

I think it is the combo of caramel and vanilla. I like caramel, but vanilla has become disappointing for me in juices. Also, they all taste like the caramel is burnt. I think they try to make it too complex and that is why my taste buds wont take it. The best juice is more likely to be one that is just a simple blend of tobacco with a hint of sweetness.

This is the conclusion I am coming to. The more complex, the more I hate it.

I am currently vaping a 99% flavor free juice (it seems to have a touch of koolada, so it feels a bit "cool" without the nasty menthol vicks vapor rub flavor), and while it is miles above any juice flavor that I do not like, it gets extremely boring vaping something with little to no flavor.

It is interesting though and still manages to hold me off the analogs, perhaps something people should try just for the heck of it if they find very little juice flavors they like out there.

I don't find it boring at all no :) For one I don't have to constantly clean atomizers and spend 10 minutes every morning trying to figure out what I'm going to vape today, or fall in love with a flavor and buy 120ml of it only to become fed up with it after 15 ml. Nah vaping flavorless was probably the best decision I made since I started vaping.

I have to admit that I had quit vaping altogether for almost a month and I'd sold everything so when I decided to start again I was trying to keep costs down and with a child on the way I know that I'll be quitting again soon so keeping it as simple as possible totally makes sense :vapor:

Thanks for the info...I wish I can do that...all my money goes on juice, that's why it is so disappointing that I do not like the the juice.
