I know the guys over on the EC Subreddit love Bombies. For good reason too, some of his flavors are off the charts.

is his stuff mild or more bold?

Whit E Octopus is big there too, and Coval Vapes

upcoming that looks good: the vape kitchen, ripe vapes, carpe diem vapors, vapeoholic, vapeologie

I'm interested in trying The Mad Alchemist, only heard good things so far.

i HATED the one juice i tried from the mad alchemist. it was dragons breath.
now, maybe it was just the flavor (rasberry and cinnamon), but man.....it was the worst juice i have tried to date.
i didn't bother trying any of the other flavors, because i thought to myself "anyone that would make a juice this bad, doesn't deserve to be looking into any further"
:2c:

I've got 20 of The Vape Kitchen's flavors. I'm a bit of an e-liquid addict so please don't judge! I like them a lot. They are 100% VG, which wasn't a requirement for me but I love the clouds they make. Their liquids seem to be pre-steeped which is a bonus and they don't seem as waxy or coil-clogging as VCV or TVC. Not dogging VCV or TVC either. I love VCV, but they do gunk up a coil fairly quickly.

They don't appear to use any food coloring and they told me they don't use sweeteners which is HUGE because..well..sweeteners don't like me. I'll leave it there. cough *nirvana vapor* cough

I did ask about diacetyl and they say they don't use it. Nothing tastes suspect so far so I trust that answer. (you know how some flavors taste like "butter" ???)

My only complaint about TVK is pretty minor: they don't have online ordering. But I guess they are turning that on soon so at that point I won't have an email exchange in between their flavors and my wallet.

They ship free with a minimum order. I think it is $50 but don't quote me on that. I live in California so shipping for me is 2 days.

Their flavors are medium to bold for most except a couple of the custards which are more delicate. I haven't tried any of the tobaccos or straight up fruits so can't comment on all the categories just yet.

white E is on my list and I have some Coval on the way, should get here tomorrow!!

It's been a while - have you ordered from any of these new companies yet? Looking forward to some flavor notes!!

Bionic Vapor. Only been around for a little over a month but the flavors are fantastic. Tons of layers to each flavor, it'll drive you crazy trying to figure them all out. Running a 50% off sale right now too.

@bionicvapor I'll second you on that! Outstanding, high quality, complex flavors!

I liked all of their flavors right out of the mailbox except Countryside. It is a cigar flavor which took a week longer to mellow out, but now I like it for a change. Ground Breaking was ok when I first opened it, but it got better daily. It's a dessert/tobacco type. The others were great, but got even better as they steeped. Dance With Miami takes the least amount of steep time.

They also announced today that all orders placed will receive a 10ml sample of their Custard Assault so everyone can beta test it and give their feedback. It's available until stock runs out.

haven't really ordered from anything new since i found cyclops vapor. i have best on a juice quest for.....well.....since i joined the forum. sadly i haven't saved any money vaping, because i have been trying sooooo many vendors. at this point i have tried around 150 different juice makers. cyclops has become my favorite. i think i have finally found my go-to juice.

although, there are a few other companies i would like to try. i just haven't been in a rush to do so since i found cyclops.
TVK is one i definitely want to try, especially after what you have said. have you tried the kratom line yet? also, let me know what you think of coval when you get it.

the #1 vendor on my "must try" list is triphammer right now. seems that most people in the UK think they are the best. triphammer has been on my backburner since they are overseas. after i try them. i'm looking forward to trying TVK.

in case you are curious, i think the best liquid makers are: (in no particular order)
cyclops vapor
nicoticket
the vapor chef
the steam co
halo

Mad Alchemist is one of my favorite vendors, Peaches and Screams, Fairy Dust, Snow Whites, and Custard's matter are all in my daily rotation.

Custard's matter is one of the best Custard's I have had to date.

Mad Alchemist is delicious! I think their flavors - at least the 3 I have tried so far - are absolutely spot on. Very well balanced between their flavor notes. You know how you get a pie flavor and it ends up tasting like all crust and no filling or the other way around? Not so with Mad Alchemist. I have Peaches and Scream, Twice in a Blue Moon, and Eye of Newt. Also have a bottle of Snow White's Demise on the way from Giant Vapes. Should get here tomorrow.

How many flavors does Cyclops have? I have tried Colossus and it tastes more like snickerdoodle than custard. I LOVE COLOSSUS; it is on my must reorder list, just isn't what I expected. I only know of 3 flavors that Giant Vapes sells.

I haven't tried the Kratom line at TVK. In what i like to call my "previous life" I used to be a consumer of herbs that required a "prescription." It's been a few years since those days. Since then I haven't felt any craving for mood altering chemicals, whether legal or not. Well. I do drink wine sometimes. But I think you get my meaning here. Still, as a customer I am curious to learn what experience anyone has had with Kratom. Are you planning to try it?

I like the Vapor Chef flavors except for Fluffy Cake which I think should be renamed Cardboard au Poivre. Slartibartfast is FANTASTIC with a glass of wine. Bloody Mango is too orange for me but does have a fantastically bold flavor. I recommend it to fans of orange vapes. Cobert's Wonderful Nuts is genius. Best pistachio type flavor I've ever had. I love that one. Caramel Apple is quite good after a long steep. My only dislike of TVC other than Fluffy Cake is this: When I ordered from TVC I chose the max VG line which I didn't care for. Too waxy. I should revisit TVC using a different PG/VG ratio. Your endorsement is a good reminder. They're on my next order list. Thank you!

The Steam Co was mixed for me. I tried Merlins Bow which was ok but as "fat elvis" flavors go there are better ones. Strawberry Shortcake was awful. Watery. Unripe berry. No cake. Blue Lagoon was too rum forward for me but I'm not dinging them for that. Some people LOVE rum and for them: this is the go to flavor I would recommend. S'Moar was decent but I'd already had Campfire by VCV and to me that is the ultimate s'more flavor. Flamingo does show some promise and I'm letting that one steep. At 2 weeks there wasn't enough flavor going on, but I don't have any other fruit punch liquids in my collection so I'm holding out for the flavor to pop one of these days. Maybe I just ordered the wrong flavors from them? What flavors do you recommend? I'll give them another go.

Haven't tried Nicoticket but I hear wonderful things about them. They are on my list.

Halo is a new one for me. What do you recommend from their line up?
