A Vendor List for Super-Tasters - Vendors Who's Liquids Have No Perfume, Soap, or Chemical Tastes

[Oxtail]

Thanks for the info on HHV and FV. Did any of their off flavor liquids improve after steeping?

I tried the HHV juices off and on over 5 or 6 weeks and didn't really notice much change. I didn't notice any chemical tastes, but just found them too perfumey. I would categorize perfumey as an off taste, but not sure others feel the same.

FV liquids are a bit touchy. They didn't seem to change much with steeping, but for me the tastes changed quite a bit depending on the settings you're vaping it at. I usually vape at lower settings. Like 3.6v on a 2.2ohm coil/carto. But I found that if I vaped at the higher end of the recommended range(like 4.2v at 2.2ohm resistance) it tasted better and there were fewer off tastes.

Has anyone mentioned good life vapor? I've never had a 'gross' juice from them. Actually one of my must have vendors.

+1 on GLV. I am new to using juice but I really love the ones I just got. Original Sin is awesome!

I agree. While I'm not one of those super sensitive "super tasters" I do have a strong aversion to what i perceive as chemical tasting juice. Some of the ones I've seen mentioned are very chemical to me, but then again e liquid tastes are one of the most subjective things it seems, like art work or music. was Andy Warhol's art some of the most important/innovative art of all time or complete crap? You'll find a lot of views either way

Enough general consensuses can help, but when it comes down to it, you just have to do some research, try a few things, based on that try a few other things, etc, until you get a handle of what works what for you. BUT the thread can still be valuable because there are some good suggestions too, and it can help.

I understand your points firephly. My goal is only to try and help people who have like had a hard time enjoying this wonderful hobby of ours because of the inability to find a decent liquid. As I said in the beginning of the thread I will remove from the list any vendors that anyone complains about. If it comes down to a list of zero because of subjective taste then so be it. I would really appreciate you pointing out any vendors specifically that you think should be removed.

Thanks, I'm removing both of them from the list.

Hey makasu,

Not yet, they are on my list of vendors to try though.

Hi BK,
I just posted in your other thread and wondering about updates?

 

[Anubuk]

Seduce juice. Very clean tasting, no chemical or soapy flavor. Little to no steep time (their creamy fruit juices need a week or 2 to bring out the creamy finish). They use natural flavors and no added sweeteners.

Ahlusion's express line is very good. Took 2 days for full flavor to come out (last ordered during winter).

I was very unhappy with virgin vapors. The flavor was flat and didn't taste what they should have based on their name/description. The juices weren't sweet at all. I have had other juices (Seduce juice) that don't use sweeteners and they were still sweet (naturally) so I have no idea what VV is doing. Mine have been steeping for 4 months now and no improvement. It is like 3/4 of the flavor is missing. I had bought 2 sampler packs, the regular line and the absolute virgin line, 6 different flavors in all. Very disappointed with them all.

I saw potion vape on the list and I love them but my wife's a super taster and the juices from them always have a soapy aftertaste to her.

I have tried Ahlusion since my last post. Very strong perfumey taste. Won't purchase again. Same for The Plume Room, The Standard, and Alice in Vapeland.

A good find was Sir TastyVape. The Flavor Conscious Line has reduced flavoring. Their Flavor Conscious Banana Nut Bread is the first desert liquid that I've ever been able to vape.

i love what i've had from sir tasty vape so far, and it's also very flavorful even though it is supposed to have less flavoring (and i'm a strong flavor lover)

did you let your ahlusion steep?

did i mention Dripeez? great natural clean flavor

Yeah, great stuff so far. I bought Banana Nut, Dragon's Booty, and Mandarin Black Tea. The Mandarin and Dragon's are still steeping but I'm looking forward to trying them. Hev you tried any Mech juice from them?

Yeah I let the Ahlusions steep for over a month after the first try but no improvement for me. Same with Dripeez.

I got cubana joy, shire sauce, strawberry yum cake and the mandarin tea, all good! I think the Cubana is a mech juice

wow, Dripeez didn't work for you? why?

Seduce juice. Very clean tasting, no chemical or soapy flavor. Little to no steep time (their creamy fruit juices need a week or 2 to bring out the creamy finish). They use natural flavors and no added sweeteners.

Thanks Anubuk. I'm going to give the Seduce juice a try. Ahlusion just didn't do it for me, both regular and express are too perfumey for me even after steeping. I totally agree on Virgin Vapor, everything I've tried has been terrible.

LOL and there ya have it, proof positive that there is some REAL strange subjective stuff going on here amongst all of us vapeing fiends, with reference to our taste buds, nostril buds, and lung buds lol. I have tried say a dozen of most of the popular brands out there,(Some mentioned on list) and it seems almost ANYTHING with PG gives me a headache, and later a tummy ache. I have found VERY few vendors so far that dont give me an upset stomach but also that I LOVE Vapeing, and one of those great vendors is Virgin Vapors. There very natural "brewing"? process and organic ingredients make my nose and palate SING...

Ive tried Vape Dudes and maybe that "extra flavor" was a mistake, because Im finding there Black Cherry, Island Coconut and Citrus Burst wayyy too harsh for me.(Both Dripping atty's and a Kayfun) But the "Bunch O Berry" is nicer and mellower. I may order some other flavors from them. (NIC levels varied from 11-16)

ALL VV blends become a favorite of mine, cept for Plum Crazy, just a little too mellow flavor wise, but none of VV's blends are ever to harsh. So maybe I am a "super-taster". (NIC usually low to 12 mg)

One little known company (I think) is Pure-VG.com. Just about 7-8 flavors and Ive found to be about on par with VV, for superior vapor production outstanding mellow flavor. (Throat hit to me seems to more easily be manipulated by NIC levels, and a higher wattage, as opposed to vapeing a harsher blend)
My two pennies anyway, Hey BK, where in Brooklyn did ya grow up? I spent 28 years in Bensonhurst, and have no real desire to return.

ps, I guess I should list some of the flavors I like so much from VV that I keep buying...Kona Coffee MS, Peppermint Chill, Organic Forbidden Fig, Org Coconut Breeze, Roast Turkish Coffee, Death by Chocolate, Org Best darn tobacco.

 

[FlyBoyJourney]

And not to thread creep at all, but does anyone know what is going on with Naturally-Extracted tobacco? I imagine there is another post somewhere on what happened there and why we are waiting so long for our orders with no contact from them. Im on two weeks and expect over a month from what Im hearing.

Yes, taste is VERY subjective lol. It's very had to maintain a list for just that reason... Pure-VG sounds interesting, think I'll give them try along with Seduce Juice.

Good to know a fellow Brooklynite I grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant. I'll always love NYC (especially Brooklyn of course), just can't live there anymore lol.

I don't know, haven't ordered from them in a very long time... Hope your order gets sorted out and mailed soon though.
