I'm new to vaping and bought my set up at the local smokers choice. Comments on a previous post led me to feel I should purchase quality liquid/juice. (Sorry still learning terminology) Am I allowed to ask what online vendors are recommended or you may prefer. If this is not allowed I'm sorry, please delete. Thanks everyone. You've all been very helpful.

    My theory is if you Like what you are Using right now, and if you Don't have a Desire to Smoke, then you are using a Great e-Liquid already.

    Nothing Wrong with Trying New e-Liquids/Flavors. But when you do, just make Sure you have a 10 ~ 20 supply of an e-Liquid you Like that you can fall back on.

    All I tend to say in these situations is - "don't get caught by the sharks"
    Beware the vendors who specialize in curiously 'one-name' hardware - those that sell Kanger, Eleaf and Joyetech only don't reveal this to charge double, triple.. whatever they feel like. These same vendors (and yes, we all know who they are) also sell cheap juice with cheap flavor at a premium price.
    I say either use
    1) a known 'wholesale/bulk' type juice co. known to charge a fair price for a fair product.
    2) or a company that specializes in e-liquid and does not also sell $29 e-cigs for $119.99

    The new-user community is handing over millions of $ to greedy 'giant' e-cig brands who just want our money. The attitude they take to hardware and juice is the same. Over-charging, pretending you are the #1 rated brand and faking entire sections of the internet to further their despicable business.

    The internet is a much better pricing source. Those mentioned and those in the Suppliers sub-forum have been vetted, if for nothing else, honesty. A couple that I used that have not been mentioned are Mt. Baker Vapor and Vape Wild.

    When I see a juice label that says that it is premium, or select, or anything like that, I see it as a sales gimmick. There are many, many ejuice makers and competition is present. ONLY your taste buds know what is good. I used to note the price per milliliter after shipping as being my final cost and I stayed under 50 cents and was happy about the reputation of the vendor and what my taste buds said.

    I DIY now, as others mentioned above. Much, much cheaper after you get set up.

    Good luck!

    As others have said, the word premium doesn't necessarily mean anything in the e liquid market. I got tired of vape shop juice prices in the first couple weeks. The next step was online liquids. I found two i liked and bought them in 240 ml bottles for about $40 a bottle. Then I discovered I could cut them 50/50 with unflavored DIY. They tasted even better and cost half as much. Then I started mixing with all-in-one flavor concentrates , no more diluting pre mix. Today my DIY cost of ingredients is 1.1 cents per milliliter. Cost of ingredients for a year is $20. I like my DIY better than any pre mix because it's not over flavored.

    You can also check out Verde Valley Vapes. They have several nice juices and are well priced. Premium juice can get extremely expensive, and sometimes the less expensive stuff turns out just as good, if not flat out better.

    I will 2nd V3. They were my primary place to order before I started to DIY, still going through some of their stock. Did a few sample orders, found 4 flavors I liked, then kept ordering but waited for a 2nd 100ml/20% off sales they run quite often (like right now). With the sale you can get 700ml for $51+s/h. Their juice is 75VG/25PG which is dead center of what I DIY (70-80VG) and for a commercial juice their flavoring seems "lighter" than other vendors I've ordered from, which I like, more along how I DIY (but still sweeter than I DIY).
