Killer Juice seems pretty solid - the owner is active here, owns multiple US labs, and has been a flavor artist for years, developing flavors for water, popcorn, cakes, etcetera. You can ask for the address but it isn't listed on the site so as not to impact his other business.
He pre-steeps the flavorings in his base before mixing them together, which is genius if you ask me. He'll also custom make any liquid you ask for, and has added dozens of requests in the past couple weeks.

If he's so active on here why hasn't he registered as a vendor?

Guys stop pushing off brands to new members. When I started I bought an "EVOD" kit on "Sale" thinking it was a Kanger EVOD. the threads were bad, the battery wouldn't close properly and die. So only standard reputable equipment as I have no idea how to know what is junk or not from China. I am sure Kanger and Inokin are made in China as well, however its a brand and they monitor the quality.

China quality is fine, I am an Engineer and we used to buy Agilent GCMS from them - so not dissing China here; However companies which are based there ARE NOT REGULATED. if they kill you, there is NO consequence as to the best of my knowledge they lack the regulatory systems and the judicial oversight - the only oversight is the Brand, and that is it. so you want me to INHALE something made in China? would you let you pediatrician inject your child with a medicine made in china ? if you do you are out of your mind.

Is my "Mod" bad? Subdivisions thinks not and its working. I will probably get the Inokin VV sometime but that's beside the point .

I don't know if your mod is bad or not. My comment merely stated that running a 1.8 ohm coil at 3.7 volts should give you plenty of wattage to vape nicely. I was mainly commenting on your thoughts of going to variable voltage to get a proper vape which I didn't think should be necessary, although vv is nice and has its merits.

I ordered a bunch from ECBlends including the green apple and thin mint (the only non-organic one). Thanks for recommendation.
They may be the "walmart" of e-juice but I really enjoy my ECBlends juices.

They are made in the USA, which may ease your mind, but is no guarantee of quality. They have many many flavors, and they offer very small sample sizes so you can try a lot of flavors before settling down on your faves.

I vape green apple from them which reminds me of a Jolly Rancher.
I also like their cinnamon apple and their Thin Mint Cookie.

The Thin Mint Cookie flavor is pretty incredible. You get a nice cool hit of mint on the intake, and you can taste the "cookie" on the outtake.

The only thing with ECBlend juices is that they make many of their juices to order and as such require some steeping prior to using.

I'm also partial to Wowboy from Vapor 4 Life. They have been around since I first tried vaping in 2009 using old cartomizers on a KR8080D battery. Their juice, unfortunately, is imported. But they have been around for quite some time. I say unfortunately in the loosest terms.

I do not automatically equate Chinese manufacturing with low quality. Especially nearly all our phones, tablets, batteries and the like are manufactured in Shenzhen. Since there is no official over sight of any e-juice manufacturer, US makers can just as easily cut corners and use substandard processes as the Chinese. Made in the USA is no guarantee of high quality and sanitary conditions. One just has to read the papers to recognize that. (like that compounding pharmacy in Boston that gave all those people menegitis)

The Chinese invented the e-cig as we know it and I've seen a video of the manufacturing process at one of the plants V4L uses, and it's pretty high tech and sanitary.

Finally placed the order from Bryces
I'm telling y'all now even if you have tried a custard and found it lacking. Y'all have to try this juice
bryces vanilla creme custard
Bryce's Vanilla Creme Custard
Bryce's Vanilla Creme Custard

Just send a pm to Bryan lord for ordering info. He has custard and pudding both have great reviews in this thread. And good prices for his juices.

Aviz you made your order yet? Lol

MTB mixed up the bottles with another shipment. Not a big deal you would say? its a huge deal. these people are mixing nic levels, ) which I have no way to check), and "Mixups" is not something you want your pharmacist to do.

Also, I have gotten some PM from ppl who are not big fans due to their exclusively third part sourced flavoring.

I am hooked on their Apple, USA and E.Coast Blends, so Its a HUGE letdown for me and makes me start looking for backups\alternatives...
To be continued ...

I guess others don't pre-steep because of all the customizations going on (storing stuff cost money and an additional tracking system I guess). Its nice that he does that.

Man...
1. I got a VW (VV v3) , its really nice to be able to get stable wattage, adjust for juice type, auto-adjust for heads...
2. My comments were before I found out that all the major hardware brands are Chinese as well (Shenzen I think - incl innokin, Kanger..)
3. My opinion about Chinese sourced eliquids stands - just no reason to order it intentionally (I am sure I am consuming it unknowingly)
4. I still use my egos with the 1.8 - yes the VW is nicer but I still think the basic eGo is just great and I still use them all the time (3.7^2/1.8 = 7.6 Watts, 2000 ma per puff... a few hours of Stable voltage); so you were right.

I tried the Vapor Lounge last night. they have some interesting stuff, nice mods, place to hang and a variety of eJuice brands. unfortunately nothing to match my taste (they had Mothers Milk which was nice but not for me). I did get some ejuice but its not worth mentioning here - perhaps in the beginning of my journey I would have had a different experience.
So now I can say that I have tried Every vapor place in my vicinity and the only one that is Okay (compared to the wealth online) is Apollo in concord (the factory store). 3 Kingd and he place in CA Blvd are okay, Vapor Lounge is no doubt better, but Apollo unfortunately is the best in the area (well they are a large manufacturing as well and supply the others...).

*** If the California ban on online shipping goes into effect, we are SOOOO Screwed - we will have to form local coops ********
They were also very nice and the place was packed (no issue there is a place there to lounge). I also found out that the place belongs to a friend of a friend :)

Hi Aviz. First, welcome to ECF! Second, howdy, neighbor! I live in Martinez.

Now, on to your questions... It's a tough one to answer, because everyone has their favorites, but (as you'll hear a lot) taste is subjective. Personally, my favorite vendor is Ahlusion, but there are certainly other e-juices I enjoy from other vendors. Have you been to The Vapor Lounge in Walnut Creek, yet? I have not, although I've been meaning to check it out. They might have a tasting bar. Their website seems to be "under construction" right now, but from looking at it before, I know they carry some high-end brands of e-juice, like 5 Pawns and The Standard. If you haven't been there, it might be worth checking out. It's on N. Broadway. If you want recommendations from people here, you will get tons. But again, taste is subjective.

Good luck!
