Any DECENT e juice reviews out there?

[Jorge Zamudio]

Hi, I was wondering how many of you folks know or follow someone with a GOOD or PROFESSIONAL way to review e juices out there, quite frankly I am a bit dissapointed on how many youtube reviewers always find everything great and hardly ever mention bad stuff, probably that's why I like pbusardo's reviews, but they are waaay too long for me.

I was looking at Ruby Roo's channel, but again, everythings great, and the not so good juices where hardly mentioned, never a bad one.

Thanks!

If you are having to order juices online, I would strongly suggest finding sites that have sample sizes, which would allow you to try several juices yourself and not dump big money into a juice that some reviewer liked that you end up hating.

I have personally seen several juice sites which offer a 6mL sample size for anywhere from $2-5 USD which is not too bad to get an idea of a juice for yourself then you can order more from same place when you find one you like.

I'd like to think I do well on them haha. For me though, I buy what I review and have only been sent juices from one line. So I have a basic idea of what I like so I tend to buy based on that. Although one from Namberjuice Epicloud line (grimmgreens line) I disliked and one of Not Too Shabby (Vapingwithtwisted420's Line" I disliked. I strongly disliked a couple from "The Vape Fu" Line.

If you ever find a good source for this, I would really love to know, because I'm having the same problem. I'm new to this, only a few days in, and it would be incredibly helpful to know what to avoid.

Well, what I can tell you right now are a few things:

1: Let them steep!!! Mostly will come all right by the time you get them, BUT, if you don't like them (because I know I did for a bunch of samples that I bought) it might be because they are not ready yet. Just leave them alone in the dark for a week or so (probably up to 3 weeks for sweet custard type of juice), shake them once a day and let some fresh air inside the bottles before shaking them

2: If possible use a dripper, I bought some cheap T3S to test new juices and I got a few brunt wicks in them, after that, they all tasted AWFUL! but I left them to rest, used a decent tank (nautilus and aerotank) and flavor and taste came through!

3: If you already had a juice that you like, use the same pg/vg ratio for now, Try with smaller samples before changing your ratio

4: Freshly made juices with nic on them will taste like perfume (at least to me, I have a very sensitive nose and taste buds) that;s why you let them steep, and nic % will sting (to me) on fresh juice, after a week or 10 days everything is all right.

5: Don't switch one juice after the other, I find that one flavor will saturate my taste for it, I cannot perceive fully the next one until a while has passed, there are a few tricks to speed things out, but I like to take it slow, for me, I give a new flavor a full day or until the sample runs out (3 to 5 ml bottles) and then move on

Hope it helps!

Hi Jorge,

I don't really know of any places that review bad e juices but just thought I would mention a couple of really good juices. Liqua is my all time favorite thus far. I love there Cuban, Turkish, and French Pipe Tobacco. They never get old for me. I've got a whole box full of what I consider to be just plain nasty but I wouldn't want to give them a bad review because I'm told that for the first six months or so after not smoking cigarettes our taste buds are constantly changing. Another one I absolutely love is HighBrow cigar and HighBrow perique. They are quite dark though and hard on coils but the flavor is well worth the time and money (which is very little). Oh and my husband says that time spent with pbusardo is time well spent

Nice! Awesome tips. Thank you so much for that! I have read in various places where people recommended steeping, but no one ever explained what that meant. You've given me hope for one of the samples I recently ordered that tastes absolutely nothing like what it was intended to emulate. Wish me luck. XD

I'm about to start a channel hah id love getting free e liq to frankly review. when i started mixing my own flavors I used a system that worked out well for me. Id rate the flavors as being; aromatic(smells better than tastes), sweet, harsh, after taste, flavor strength, etc( i forget the rest of the criteria off the top of my dome). Shoot id be willing to start one up if theres a big enough demand for that. like my post if you'd like to see something like this started!! I'd have to try to be unbiased, which im fairly good at and keep it sort of general but cant help but throw an opinion in since its a review

I trust Tia Vapes more than any on the rest for juice review..... seem the most honest and tried to pick out what flavors are in blends that aren't clearly marked. I've also seen her turn her nose up at some, and she honestly feel bad when giving a bad review... made a few posts on FB that showed that to me.

LOL ronda I have never ran into these guys before! thats awesome and mildly entertaining XD

I'm not 100% sure if they are even still doing reviews. I watched them back before I took my 1.5 year vacation from the forum, but they were always entertaining, and reviewed just about every juice they got their hands on, be it good, bad, or ugly.

 

[Jorge Zamudio]

bwahahahaha!!! awesome!!!

 

[tattooyou]

Your right Jorge . I've had juice I bought hated it, tried again when out of my good juice, and some were much better the second go around.

 

[tattooyou]

FYI. don't buy juice at truck stops or even mini marts. Its all crap. I drive 48 states tried all kinds of brands from them and all terrible, even after sitting. So I ordered online my favs (apple fritter, key lime pie) but I won't be home to pick up for another month. WAHHHH!!! LOL!

 

[Jorge Zamudio]

Yeah, I had no idea how much the flavor will change once you let them rest for a while, I am going to take a guess here and say that the reason they should be stored in the dark is because the nicotine will oxidize if the light gets to it.
Another thing that I am noticing, is that the fruity flavors will shine in lower nicotine concentrations, I am buying mine atm at 6mg

I watch TiaVapes channel she reminds me so much of my foster daughter, it's like walking down memory lane, but she brought that up yesterday. Seems the vendors when they do put out an honest (albeit not too brutal with her shes' a sweetie) they ask them to remove it (and won't give out the goodies until they do I guess) which makes sense, I've noticed some of the juice reviews I've left for "stinkers" aren't on those sites. Which is sad, it's all a farce, great.

Sample sizes, steeping, seems to be the answer and lots of tastings at my local B&M.

I'm with you I might do an "honest" one, there's a guy out there Honest Vapes or something like that I think he's an ECF member, saw one of his and clicked on it yesterday, I didn't subscribe so don't ask me who it was.

you know how it goes, it's that way with everything if it's negative, from ratings on ebay to everything else, the vendors make sure you don't see it. The reputable ones won't or leave ones they feel are valid. I read one on Alice's site, they didn't like nuts, ok great, leave it at that. I'm the same way if it's got cinnamon or nuts in it, I tend to not like them. Although Castlelong is starting to grow on me..but not a "fave".

I have a lil cabinet that we take the lids off and let them steep until they taste good, or good with a custard (that stuff makes even the nastiest juice taste good) or a friend or family member wants them (swap with friends! saves from having a juice graveyard!)

take care!!

I have the same problem, no concise, professional and quick review. I used to be in the entertainment industry (show production) and my wife keeps telling me to make Juice reviews. Although I think her angle is because of my soaring credit card bills.
