Cannot find a good ejuice

[Aviz]

I moved from smoking Cigarettes to nicotine patches and cigars years ago, but always missed smoking. Imagine my joy finding out about ecigs.
however, I must say I have yet to find an ejuice that will give me he pleasure of a good cigar or Marlboro light (yes, I tried Halo sampler which was too sweet, local is trash which messed up my coils, JC Oak domestic was okay; Mt. Baker in mail - cannot find a good juice. I walked in local shops and the situation is dismal.
I am currently waiting for a shipment from Mt. Baker.

Do you have any suggestions? PLEASE DO NOT POST SMALL ONE PERSON "MANUFACTURERS" - I can order virgin nicotine juice and mess with it myself. also I would not put in my lungs anything not MADE In USA (all ingredients).
I tried looking at the forums but it seems gibberish - all you see is ppl pushing their own mix or writing Halo.

as no combustion is happening with vaping, it's going to be difficult to find what you're looking for.

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!

Thanks Lisa; I will try the Vapor Lounge (I didn't mean to diss all the locals...). I checked Ahlusion - noticed they do not have a sampler pack and their small bottles are $1 per ml ... which is your favorite ?

For instance Smokeless image Volt (they don't have a sampler... which flavor do you prefer?) Halo, JC, Mt. Baker... and that's all I know. I heard about Virgin Vapors but I saw they sell Alibaba knockoff junk on their site and it was a turnoff. I have been Vaping for a short time so those are all the vendors I know, hence the post. I have read http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/503973-ecf-best-2013-a.html Thoroughly and its spammed all over. All I see there is bla bla ...Halo.

Regarding individual taste - I must partially disagree. Everyone on the planet loves Coke or Pepsi. Everyone like McDonalds Fries. yes I understand that "Microbreweries " are important and variety is great, but a new member will get a stroke on your site before realizing that Mt. Baker, Volt, Halo, JC, Virgin (and now Ahlusion) to name a few are real companies and the rest are mostly guys buying PG nic mix from Mt. Baker or some Chinese vendor and sell moonshine mix. again I love moonshine culture but I think if we go about handling our community we will be bulldozed by big tobacco very quickly as this is basically a health product and not a game (unlike the tech industry startups).


Basically what I am saying is that in the absence of FDA regulations we are to regulate ourselves. How about a Vendor Wiki - with unbiased impartial general info such as Year established, location, number of reviews on site...

I really like Ahlusion's wildwood flavors. I would not say it tastes like burning tobacco but very good none the less.

No, they don't have a sampler pack, and they are not the cheapest out there (not the most expensive, either, though!). I have to say, for me, they have ended up being a lot cheaper than buying a ton of cheap juice, and giving or throwing 90% away! I have at least liked everything from there enough to vape it, if not re-order it. Not to dis Mt. Baker Vapor, because a lot of people like it a lot, but I've given or thrown away most of what I bought from them. It's just not to my taste. Right now my very, very favorite juice is Ahlusion's Boba Tea. I really like a lot of things from them, though. If you do order from Ahlusion, you might want to check out their XPress line. They are pre-steeped by about 2 weeks, they have slightly smaller sizes, and cost a little less. They don't always have everything, but it's a good place to start. For some recommendations, you might want to check out the (massively long!) Ahlusion thread here-- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/446286-ahlusion-e-juice.html .

I tried ordering from Ahlusion - their website is impossible. I am stuck on 6mg nic on all the wildwood flavors

If you do order from Ahlusion in the comments you can ask for a sample of a flavor and they will send you one. Also plan on seeping your juices for at least a week if not longer. They make it to order and it takes time for the flavor to come out. I got one that smelled like caramel corn (vanilla wildwood) and when it came I tried to vape it. YUCK! I ordered a 30 ml bottle. I let it sit with the lid off for 2 weeks and it is a rich complex wonderful taste. I have to control myself when I vape it. Oh and added a touch of cinnamon to a tank of it because I was to lazy to rinse the tank and oh my. I vaped the full tank before lunch and was without vape for the afternoon.

Are you talking about the drop down selection for the amount of nic?

I read the thread almost to the end. I checked the "Vapor Station" - I will pass.

 

[Aviz]

yes. the drop down allows me to check ml only, nic is limited to 6mg. I tried two browsers. perhaps the flavor is available in low nic only. (they do say in "about us" that they are selling taste not a nicotine fix... )

Everything I have ordered from them I have ordered in 18 mg and 12 mg. are you looking under xpress or e-liquids? Express are ready made and sitting on the shelf, e-liquids are made to order. I have only ordered e-liquids.

I read the thread almost to the end. its seems like spam to me. I checked the "Vapor Station" - no address, no company info, selling offbrand stuff - seems like a shady business to me. but you are a moderator so you must know better, however I wont be trying them.

I'm not a spammer or a vendor, I'm a moderator on the board. I have no relationship with any vendors/suppliers. Just trying to let you know where it might be possible to get a free sample as you're having issues finding what you like.

Just looked Ahlusions drop down for MG is working fine for me.

 

[killahs808]

right now ive only been using mister eliquid. there menthol light is like marlboro ment light

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

Google Spinfuel. They are an online vape magazine that seems to offer impartial reviews. Further, since taste is subjective for the most part, they usually have 4 people review the juice using several different devices (the device itself can change to flavor of the same juice). They will only award a juice a Spinfuel award if ALL the people who reviewed the juice give it a 5 out of 5. This may be a bit of a more organized way to narrow down your choices if you do not trust the members of this forum.

Aviz - Sorry you're not able to find the elusive Marlboro juice. It might be something that is unobtainable though. I've been in search of the perfect coffee taste and can't seem to find it either. I'm not against ordering from one person manufacturers so my choice range is more broad than yours. Still, along the way, I have found other juices that satisfy me and have become my favorites. And there are flavors that I never thought I'd like. Like banana. Never thought I'd try or like a banana vape.

While looking for the perfect Marlboro flavor, might be good to keep an open mind to other flavors, you never know (or at least I didn't)

Not sure why you think the list Caridwen gave you looks like spam. By stating this, it appears that other people's opinions don't matter so whatever advice you're doing to get here will probably lead to disappointment. So sorry.....

Umm... Sorry that e-cigs are still relatively in its infancy? That's basically what the problem here is. This is a new market. This regulation and a wiki isn't here because of that. The thousands of people here can't possibly all be spammers. This site is actually pretty strict about spammers with their policy that all new member must first post 5 posts in the new members board before being allowed to enter other boards. People like to talk about what they like, and a forum is a place to do that. If you do not like forums why did you come?
