Buying Juice is Such a Crapshoot

[Chemical Bromance]

My name is Chemical Bromance and I've got too many juices I don't wanna vape anymore.

In Oz, I ordered from an online vendor and overdid it. And even the bottle I got from a local shop were more impulse buys than anything else. All are 0mg nic and frankly I only vape one or two. The rest have barely been consumed.

Then on the trip to the capital up north, I again overdid it... all the juices were 6mg nic with one bottle at 12mg. I can't do that much nic. With the exception of just one or two, I don't vape the rest.

Some of those juices seemed good in the store, but when I got them home on my own tank and mod... meh...

Does anyone else have this happening? How do you mitigate this?

time to trade trade trade!

 

[errolng]

you can't.
no way of liking a juice w/o trying it first.
i don't vape most of the juices i buy either

 

[sgcloudchaser]

no way from running this, the only way is have a club which we dont talk about share juices n experiences to be saved from these kinds of regrets

You try them before buying. Any vape shop has (or had I don't know what the fda impact will be) a bar where you can try any of the juices that sound good, and sometimes you will like them, and sometimes you won't.

That way you can find the flavors you like, but whether or not they end up your dearly loved ADV or just an occasional pleasure you won't know until you get home.

Once you know the flavors you like to vape best, then you can try the same or similar flavors from other vendors, perhaps finding a vendor you think does that particular flavor better.

This is how you avoid throwing your money away on things you don't like, after vaping.. pre 8-8.

Yeah, I thought I had that down pat. But still ended up with a bunch that I don't feel like vaping anymore.

Then make use of the PIF, and give what you don't like well enough to vape, to someone in need.

That's all you can do, if you can't tell from trying the juice before buying.

It's not like as if we can get them easily from 7/11..
End of the day we get what we get.. Just use finish then say lohz..
Dun like next time buy different..

 

[Chemical Bromance]

Yup. I just got carried away since I don't get that many opportunities to visit a shop, you know what I mean. And the online order was a mistake. All n00b mistakes. I know better now.

Get some DIY supplies and try diluting the liquids. My experience is the pre mix companies use too much flavoring. I found 1 part pre mix to 3 parts unflavored usually works, 25/75.

That's a good idea. It isn't that the flavours are too strong; I just find that they don't do anything for me after purchasing. But you've given me some ideas. Will definitely try that at some point.

Or go full DIY. If you get it wrong it costs fractions of a penny, get it right and it costs fractions of a penny.

Yeah! For some dumb reason I've been dragging my feet about this.

Don't worry your not alone in dragging your feet.. it's taken the fda for me to resolve jumping in..

for me though having access to inexpensive and quality juice that I enjoy made me keep buying it, as it was easier.. even knowing diy was cheaper still..

Some of us are feet draggers from way back.. it often takes a little push.. perhaps this is yours.

 

[Chemical Bromance]

Yup. I think this is it. Hahahahaha

I procrastinated on building and mixing for months. Today if you offered me all the coil heads and pre mix I wanted for free I'd turn them down. Vaping has become a hobby for me, no dodging that, but it's not about flavor or clouds or fancy liquids or complicated builds. I want my vape to be high quality AND a good example of what any smoker on the planet could duplicate. The least expensive quality cigarettes in the world (Cambodia) cost $10 a carton so a carton a week costs $500 a year. With no stockpiling my vape costs a fraction of that. Anybody anywhere who smokes can save money switching to vaping. Rebuilding and mixing don't just save money, they are also a higher quality experience.

I've also started DIYing with a friend. Splitting between us to buy the PG/VG and concentrates. Definitely MUCH cheaper than buying locally

 

[Imperialchugger]

if you are vaping 0mg, might as well diy. there are some really good recipes floating around.
