are all these reviews really worth anything?!

[skymyrka]

Not sure If I want to do that honestly.
They do however, reference partnership with Johnson & Johnson on their front page, and those guys certainly do come up in that database.
See for yourself Establishment Registration & Device Listing

Oh I imagine that Johnson and Johnson would come up as a Medical device Manufacture. LOL

Like I said before. A Nicotine Base or Flavored e-liquid seller isn't selling Anything that can be considered to be a Medical Product or a Medicine.

If they Attempted to, they would be Shut Down Instantly.

I just think you are looking in the Wrong Data Base for your Answers.

where's the right one?

I don't know.

If you knew Exactly what their FDA Registration was, it would probably help.

Why don't you just e-Mail them?

if it's a lab, it should be in there. it certainly isn't in food or drug registered facility database.

okay, i dug into it some more... it seems that the company uses extract, same stuff used in nicorette gum by J&J.
They don't actually extract nicotine, just market the final solvent. I suppose, could have saved me a little time had I read the statement on their website really carefully "Our organic nicotine extraction is performed through partnership with one of the providing labs to Johnson & Johnson's global line of nicotine based products"

 

[skymyrka]

Well, wizard labs is actually a fictitious name.
The company is MACLEOD ENTERPRISES,INC

I would do more (and did so), but feel like it's a twilight zone stuff, so i'll stop
But I'm not really interested in vaping that. thanks for the recommendation tho

I use WL all of the time for DIY. They have a very good reputation. The do not sell pre-made e-juice.

 

[skymyrka]

for what it's worth J&J uses McNeil AB labs for nic extraction. I found no record of partnerships with any FL based labs.

I read the reviews. I can say that I only pay attention to the more articulate ones. If a person says, its great or it sucks with out a reason. I pass by that one. I do like it when someone will give a more full description of their experience. I listen more closly if they are actually saying some thing.

check this website out Electronic Cigarette Juice / E-Liquid Reviews. It's filled with user reviews on tons of juices. You can add your own juices and review them to build on the database. It's fairly new, but last time I checked, it has over 750 juice reviews. You can also review vendors.

Going back to your original posting...

I recently found this review blog http://tastyvapers.blogspot.com/

He gives detailed, honest reviews that I've mostly found to coincide with my experiences so far...

He also has a great article on flavor vs taste "subjectivity"...

Here is a quick quote...

"Testing Notes: One of the things I see all too often, is that "Flavor is subjective". NO, your individual tastes may be subjective, but flavor is flavor. I've never had a steak that tasted like chicken. I've never had an orange that tasted like a banana. I've never had a cup of coffee that tasted like Hawaiian Punch. If you ever see me give an eLiquid a bad review, it's because they TASTE BAD and not because I don't like a particular flavor"

I enjoyed reading that... I've come across far too many ejuices that taste nothing like their name/description.

Brilliant quote, no doubt!! Thanks for the link. I have to be honest, most reviews are just lacking basic information. For example, when I get a bottle from Halo, and expiration date is 12 month away I frown. That bottle has gotta sit at least for 2 weeks before I'd touch it. Meanwhile brand spanking new flavor they just released already got a flood of reviews. Just "case and point" observation.

At the same time, I'd never even touch a bottle that doesn't have a batch number explicitly stated on it. Reviewers hardly mention any of that information too. Not to mention there's very little knowledge about ingredients and raw material sources themselves. When it says "made in USA" it could merely be assembled in USA. Sometimes just being aware of raw material FMV you can guess with relative accuracy the origin of the product, but it's still not a reliable way to judge.

I did look over the tasty vapers reviews pretty quick. He does mention factors that are valuable to me (e.g. steeping info and pretty average equipment), and FWIW I'll keep reading. Thank you!!

Edit: just looked through few of his posts. It's a very nice personal blog. But wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Thanks anyway!!!

Geez... I still remember some of the folks that I found right away... the Canadian guy... remember bornagainst? man, I bought every juice he liked... and that's how I found so many good juices... and Kent C... very helpful during my coffee and tobacco, ry4 days.... It was a rather large lot of juice I bought from him years ago.... he tossed one menthol liquid in the group and I have been on menthols ever since.

It's weird how these successful discoveries evolve...

I remember the first juice I really really liked was LiquidXpress's TABOO... This lead me to VaporTalk's Duclis.... and then this ultimately lead to Boba's Bounty... because my Taboo and Dulcis friends recommended it - Boba's was a fairly new juice then ;-)

Now I was all about VG...
This lead me to Vaperite'ds Bananas Foster - and then I found NETS - Nets lead me to BWB... irinically, because Don didn't even have a net then... but my NET friends loved BWB... he was selling out of the classifieds/suppliers forum then...

Got wicked sucked into BWB.... still my favorite vendor... Don ended up teaching me 90% of what I know about juice -

Met Dr. Vapenstein through this... and he started sending me samples of his DIY with TW base/ Halo Base and decadent vapors... pretty much met Kent C through my Decadent Vapors fascination...

anyway, this is all in my first few months of vaping...


It's always evolving

Well damn, LT, rub our faces in it! I was on silly, expensive and below mediocre vaping devices and prefilled cartos for too long; too long!
