Like someone once said...It's like a princess kissing a lot of frogs, hoping to find a prince.

I have a whole cabinet full of frogs.

Oh don't we all....about 10+ vendors and 40+ flavors of frogs. Only to love some silly free sample one sent me with one of my first orders....happends like that. I didn't think I would love stuff with honeysuckle in the mix.

At the risk of repeating myself I'll say it yet again, just because a vendor is popular doesn't mean everyone will like their juice. If everyone liked the same juice, we wouldn't need so many vendors.

That is the darn truth. One in particular where the wait time is astronomical, I didn't like any of the juices even a little. Threw them out and didn't even give them to a friend. Its not AiV but, close to their reputation.

One thing this thread has done has made me believe I'm not losing it.... cause I sure thought I was... thanks everyone.

Not at all. I have tried a lot of juice. A LOT. I like maybe five. I love two. It seems I should consider myself lucky. And my tastes have changed since I stopped smoking. I used to want tobacco flavors and now I don't like any remenance. I have not liked some of the top rated companies and most certainly didn't think the wait time was worth it. You said you have one vendor you LOVE that is not mentioned... I don't think its against any rules to give them some kudos? I am curious!! I will give a shout out to my most favorite. Its ECBlends. Cheap as heck and the dragon series is YUMMY. Just love it. But, I might be the only one so don't take my word for it!!! LOL.

You guys are all GREAT.... Thanks

The vendor who's juice is the only one I like is "It is Vaper".... Even without nic, I'm hooked :) I love this stuff. Banana nut bread, apple pie, and even honey dew, who's flavor doesn't really excite me, but the vaping experience does....

I've got a table full of frogs.... and sure glad I'm not alone, and now understand everything so much better...

You all are so helpful.

Juice is a like yogurts. Tell me you ever had yogurt that tasted like apple pie or chocolate cake? Even if they did, could you vape it all day without making yourself sick?

Do you have 1-2 that are tolerable? Try to stick with a couple basics and stop buying for awhile. I could have brought my self an expensive mod for all the money I wasted on liquids.

If all else fails, you could vape unflavored (there is some flavor).

Im currently using unicorn blood in a vivi nova and this is the best tasting juice ive had so far. Is fuzion vapour one of the overrated vendors your referring to?

I certainly wasn't.

I hate to feel like I'm slamming anyone. I haven't gotten a BAD juice from anyone, and I've ordered from a LOT of vendors. Fuzion makes a couple of my favorite vapes.

I just see everyone talking about how AMAZING certain vendors are, and I find their juice to be passable. It's a personal taste. I also find that the vendors charging upwards of 0.70/ml ... are not making anything THAT special. Now, some of them make it special by personalizing and catering very well to their customers. I appreciate that, and will continue to order from "boutique" vendors... ONCE IN A WHILE. But for my all-day vape, I'm going to be DIYing... for under .02/ml ... *shrug* It's a personal choice. I like most of Fuzion's juice. Since you asked about them, I also like AiV, I like Fanceejuice, I don't like HHV (but haven't tried more than 4 of their flavors, so take that with a grain), I like Rawr, I like MBV (actually, that's a 'love'), I love Happy esmoker, I love Hooligan Vapes, I'm not really very fond of Vape Dudes' juice but I appreciate them as a hardware vendor and for VERY SPECIFIC flavors... am I leaving anyone out? Hmm?

These opinions are based on trying between 1 or 2 and 10+ juices from these vendors, with an average of 5 per.

Wanna know more? How about you check out my spreadsheet. It's totally incomplete. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgSUlc0zhH10dEpjcHBnVGhtd1BVa2hVRnZKeGpYN0E&usp=sharing But I'm working on it.

It's also worth it to note that Fuzion's samplers are 0.57/ml as opposed to some other vendors, whose samplers exceed $1/ml.

I do cost analyses on vendors. It's shameful, I know, and it's worth mentioning that the vendors whose samplers exceed $1/ml also provide quality containers and personalized packaging. I like to know what I'm paying for when I spend my hard earned dollars.

Which is fair to be honest. But if the juice is nice enough then for me the cost isnt the be all and end all for mw as long as its saving my health over the analogs. Which id spend alot more on if i were smoking. So as we have both said, its all a personal thing i guess.

I think I agree with pretty much everything you just said. I don't know why I didn't care for HHV. I am DIY most of my stuff. even that isn't great...I kinda suck at it...HAHAHAHAHHA

I'm 51 and wear readers to read.... What really sucks, is the pretty packaging that I have to get a magnifying glass out to read what the flavor is.... I could care less about packaging and presentation and surely don't want to pay for it.... just give me the juice with the cheapest labels and bottles etc.... especially since the majority of juice sits on my table to never be opened and vaped again...

mchenry, il
I sympathize. I gave up looking for flavor 3 years ago...same flavor all this time. Short version. I felt like I was missing out so I tried "one more time". I have liked EVERYTHING since then from two vendors...until I got my last "sampler" form another well respected vendor(3rd vendor). ..awfull..the same problem I had with other samples years ago..nasty, chemical, burnt rubber taste. with the same sampler pack there was an additional sample that was fine..not my favorite, but I could see how others would like it. The difference was in the packaging..everything I liked was sent in plastic. Everything disgusting was sent in a glass bottle with a rubber stopper. I never made the connection before. I personally pick up the "flavor" of the rubber at the top of the dropper...also the plastic in clearo's...any fiberfill prefilled carts...carto's..and the flavor from any wicking material... it's quite annoying to be this "taste sensitive"..but I have options now..you will find yours. :D
