Greetings everyone. I'm hoping people that have tried many different e-liquid vendors can give me their opinion on the best one-stop-shop for e-liquid.

I live in Canada where e-juice is not approved, so I risk having my order returned to sender when I'm ordering outside of Canada. Because of this I only make large orders every couple months. I feel this is safer than having a bunch of smaller orders constantly coming in. I'd love to try out all of the US vendors, but I don't want to have multiple orders coming through, so I'm trying to find some opinions on the most reliable place to check out.

I've only tried Dekang e-juice from healthcabin.net which is hit or miss and I've tried Janty's Crystal Liquid from electronic-cigz.com in Canada. I really like the crystal liquid, but I haven't found an outstanding tobacco flavour (the cafe cappuccino and cheeky peach are great btw).

I was thinking of trying out BackWoodsBrew.net as it sounds like they have some great tobacco flavours and I really like Dekang 555 and RY#1.

FreedomSmokeUSA.com sounds really good as well and I like that you can purchase 5 ml samples so I can try a bunch of them out and decide what I like best.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about HaloCigs.com but they don't offer sample sizes so the total cost would add up quickly.

I also hear TastyVapor.us is good and I like the idea of customizing my own flavours, but again there are no sample sizes.

IVape.net has gotten good reviews and from what I've read I absolutely MUST try out Sweet Caroline. The site also mentions a 10 ml sample pack of 5 flavours for $24.75, so I could try out most of their flavours for $50!

I'm leaning towards BackWoodsBrew and I figure I have to try out IVape's sweet caroline as well, but I'd love other people's opinions. I'm not limited to the sites listed above, so please feel free to offer suggestions on different vendors as well!

I realize taste is highly subjective, but if you were in the same position as me and could only choose one vendor to place a large order with, which vendor would it be?

If you could also give me suggestion for which flavours to try out I would love as much feedback as possible.

I'm looking to try out between 10 and 20 different flavours and this will be my first order from a US vendor, so which vendor is the most reliable one-stop-shop for your E-Liquid needs and why?

Personally, i've ordered the super sampler from EastMall a few times, and i've yet to find a flavor i dislike. You can order any number of flavors (minimum of 5) in 5ml bottles for $2 per bottle, or 20ml bottles for $4 per. Not in US, but would be worth a shot if you're looking for variety. Also, they are dekang flavors, FYI.

I'm an fsusa fan - I'd recommend you try a few samples (to see how they go across the border) and go from there. And I'm sure that fsusa wouldn't break any laws or anything, but IF maybe a shipping label was accidentally hand written with HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! on it instead of a standard FSUSA return address, it just might have a chance of clearing customs w/out them checking it out. (I was an online jeweler who used to sell kind of expensive stuff. And I may or may not have a few "nieces" in other countries who hated paying extra fees if I decided to gift them with something. What? I love my overseas "family." That's all. But you might want to check with Aunt Pam or Uncle Dave to see if there's a problem there.)

^ Gotcoffee and tarheeldan, what flavours from Tasty Vapor and what custom mixes do you like? And what other vendors have you tried?

Thanks for the suggestion shanagan! I'll get in contact with them and see what's up. What flavours from fsusa would you suggest?

I'd love to hear more suggestions and if anyone can tell me which vendors they have used for E-Liquid and which one they like the best I'd appreciate it!

I'd also love to hear everyone's favourite flavours.

I'm really hoping some people that have used many diffrent websites for e-juice can pipe up and let me know their experience with these websites!

so hard to pick a favorite, or even a suggestion, Chem. When I first started, their Hypnotic Mist blew my socks off. I still love it for its odd not-fruity/not-tobacco/not anything but awesomesauce taste, but MY GODS, the french toast is amazing. (A sample, btw - Pam is scary psychic - if there's a flavor you would NEVER order for yourself, she will toss it in the box and you will LOVE it. I mean, syrup vape? Really??)

I swear, my advice is to order about 5 samples - two you think sound good and 3 you're like "uh, no.. but the reviews are good..." - and they'll knock your socks off with some random sample that you will HAVE TO HAVE in larger quanities.

But... trust me on this as weird as it sounds - if you like pineapple even a little bit - buy some pina colada. Between that and butterscotch almond, I'm happy all day. (Funny enough, one I HATED at first was Irish Creme - which is now almost GONE because I vaped the #*(% out of it today.)

ETA: See my reason for editing.

hehe thanx for the compliment...

I really like that fsusa allows you to purchase sample sizes. I usually order at least couple hundred ml per order, so I could try out a whole shelf of their flavours! That's really convenient to allow customers to purchase 3 or 5 ml.

shanagan, have you tried backwoodsbrew by chance? I'm looking for new tobacco flavours and it sounds like they have some excellent options. I don't want something that tastes like an analog, but something I can vape all day. I find a lot of fruit and dessert flavours are too sweet to vape all day, so something with a nutty undertone with a bit of sweetness would be ideal.

In general, are freedomsmokeusa's flavours fairly sweet? I've tried Dekang pina colada and enjoy it. My girlfriend really likes it, so I might have to take up your suggestion. Does the butterscotch almond have a strong butter taste, or is it more almondy? I tried Dekang's butterscoth and it tastes like straight butter. Yuck!

Thanks for the help!

^ What backwoodsbrew flavours do you like dockholidaiy? Like I said, when I place an order I go all out, because I try to limit the amount of orders I place that are going through customs, so when I do order e-juice I usually order around 10 or more flavours at a time. I wont hold anyone responsible if I don't like their suggestions because taste is so highly subjective, but I've been reading reviews and compiling as many preferences I can find and would love for anyone to add more suggestions.

I'm not a tobacco vape fan and haven't tried bwb yet, but my husband loves fsusa's ry4 so much I can't even convince him to try anything else - not even their sweeter ry5.

I'd rec the butterscotch almond from fsusa - its a bit sweet, a bit nutty - but... comfortable, I guess but not easily discernible as buttery OR almondy. Really, I'm kind of a food snob, so I should be able to describe it better than that, but it's just delicious. Now, my husband would disagree - he's ONLY about their ry4. Period.

And really - fsusa has a scary knack for hitting "true" flavors - I've said before they must be foodies, because their juice is TRUE to what the flavor states. Not candy like, not.. well, not "dekang like" - but like fruit. Or thin mint girl scout cookies. Or, yeah, syrupy french toast.

Yeah, it's that good.

^ lol good to hear. So it sounds like FSUSA isn't overly sweet. That's good! I find the really sweet flavours make me feel sick if I vape them for too long. I always end up back to vaping a more toned down flavour like 555 and can only smoke the sweet fruit flavours very occassionally. Sounds like I'm going to order from backwoodsbrew and freedomsmokeusa at this point. I'm not placing any orders for another month or so, but I wanted to start this thread far in advance to get as many opinions as possible.

What about IVape.net? Anyone tried them out? I noticed Doctor Vapor's favourable review on youtube and I've read in a few places that their Sweet Caroline is even better than RY#4 for the RY fans out there.

Keep the suggestions coming everyone and please feel free to offer advice on your favoruite flavours! Thanks

AppleWood is my favorite but I have only had the AppleWood and the Honey Flue. Honey Flue is pretty great also and makes a good change up from AppleWood. I do have a order on the way for the Tobacco Menthol and some moe AppleWood and it should be here tommarow. Ill let you know what I think about it. Here is a review I did on the AppleWood.

Thanks. I was thinking of trying out the applewood for sure. Today I just got some Janty Crystal Liquid "Crisp Apple" from Sean at electronic-cigz.com in a free sampler giveaway I won on ECF. Never thought I would like apple e-juice, but it is actually really good! Not overly sweet like many Dekang e-juices, I can actually see myself using this as all day vape. Actually going to line some up right now.

I was thinking an apple taste like the Crisp Apple with a stronger tobacco undertone would be really good and noticed bwbrew's applewood flavour and immediately though that would be right up my alley. I was also thinking of trying the honey flue nut. I wonder what the differences are between the regular honey flue and the honey flue nut?

Please keep me posted on what you think of the menthol. Dockholidaiy, can you update when you get your order from bwbrew and let me know how consistent the flavour is? You mentioned you are getting applewood again, so please let me know if it tastes the same as the first time you ordered. I've been dissappointed by the lack of quality control with some of Dekang's juices as the same flavour from the same supplier has tasted different on separate orders, so if there are considerable differences in your 2nd bottle of applewood I would appreciate you chiming in!

Luckily my girlfriend is vaping along with me and I just converted a buddy and convinced him to skip the 510s and go straight to the ego (wish I had someone to give me advice like that before I collected some 8 or so 510 e-cigs!) and my buddy actually directed me to backwoodsbrew. So I'm going to talk to him and get him to go in on the order with me and my girlfriend. This could work really well. If we all go in on 10 ml bottles we can try out a bunch of different flavours!

Too bad you're not down with the sweet flavors, I've had a lot of those from Tasty Vapor. Not-so-sweet ones, let's see:

Kretek - is awesome if you like clove cigarettes. These replicate the experience quite well and if you let the juice sit for 1.5-2wks the tobacco really perks up and rounds out the flavor.

Custom: Mint + Pineapple - not overly sweet. Tasty, minty yumminess.

Other flavors I've tried and you might reconsider as your taste buds change (sweeter ones): Mint Chocolate Chip, Boston Cream Pie, Geoff's Blend, Atomic Cinnacide, Buttered Rum. In descending order of awesomeness.

If I had to choose one place and one place only, FreedomsmokeUSA would be my first choice. Seriously, I have never tried one single flavor from there that I did not like. Unlike every single other vendor I have tried, they all seem to have a dog or two.

My favs from there:

Wyatt Earp
Cherry Cola
Applewood
Hypnotic Mist
Thin Mint

Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm hoping this will grow over the next month before I place an order.

I DO like somewhat sweet flavours, but I find overly sweet makes me feel ill. I like allday vapes that I can vape on and on and on, but with the really sweet flavours I find after a few cartridges I need something toned down. But I do like sweet flavours that aren't too sweet. Right now I'm actually vaping "Crisp Apple" from electronic-cigz.com and it is great. It doesn't have a candy flavour to it, but a realistic apple flavour with just enough sweetness to taste really good.

I guess what I should say is I don't like "candy" flavoured E-Liquid. I do like a mix of peppermint and chocolate though. The chocloate I got from eletronic-cigz.com isn't sweet and their "Peppermint Passion" is very refreshing with a bit of sweetness, so I do like dessert and fruit flavours that don't taste like candy.

On the other hand my girlfriend really likes the sweet flavours and I'll be purchasing for both of us, so keep the suggestions coming and if you can let me know which flavours are sweet and which ones aren't (like tarheeldan, thanks) I would really apprciate it!

So looks like I'm going to order from BackwoodsBrew.net and MyFreedomSmokeUSA.

If anyone can offer suggestions on the best flavours from these vendors please give me your opinions!

If you want to really help me out, you could also let me know which ones are really sweet and which ones are less sweet. My girlfriend likes the sweet flavours, I like flavours with just a touch of sweetness.

I think those are two good choices, BWB for tobacco flavors are supposed to be great -- I think Ms T's blows those two away but she doesn't do 'large' bottles that I know of. I'm not a big TV fan (good but not great for most flavors) and the only one I want to try that I haven't is VaporBomb; I am a big lover of sweets and creams, no tobacco anymore, so our tastes may be different but those are my recommendations. Just my :2c:
