i'll have to agree with you 100%. 95% of the juices i've tried have no flavor, or
vape nothing like the description. Like you, i've spent hundreds, probably closer to a grand in the last 3 months..........for crap that I give away on PIF, or have to try to resell on the classifieds here. It took 3 months until I found my few favorite vapes & vendors
alien Visons -(not located in Houston yet, but moving here this very weekend). Hype, cravelope & sweet tarts are fabulous
Vapor Renew- The customer service is beyond phenominal!! Juice is inexpensive $8 for 30ml!!! & the flavors are right on point. This company is owned by flavor west (a flavor provider). Jason is great & really goes out of his way to make sure his customers are happy. I like Vapor Renew especially, because I can add caffeine to them, and the "renew blend" has different herbal ingredients and I can add B-12 to my juices.
Tasty Vapor is another vendor that is on point with their flavors. You can also create your own mix. They currently sell in just 30ml at a time, but this week will begin with samples. Definitely a must try vendor. No preservatives used in their juices & if you buy their doublers, & add your own nic it's incredibly inexpensive.
GotVapes is located in Sugarland, TX (just south of Houston). i've had "gummy bears" from 4 total vendors & this is the ONLY place that definitely has the flavor right on point. Their "swedish fish" is also just like the real swedish fish we used to buy for as penny candy when we were kids. I've ordered from them many times. Dan is swell do deal with & I've never had a problem with them. I'm extremely pleased with their juice flavors. They don't have a TON of flavors like other vendors, & it's because each flavor goes through stringent testing at their home headquarters in New York. Just recently they've added some new flavors.
Honestly, I can't even recall all of the vendors i've bought from in the past 3 months. (I suppose I could pull out my bag of receipts, because I save each and every one)...........but it really IS unreal how much BAD juice is out there & how many places ship either slowly, or just plain suck at customer service.
