Ive been vaping a little over 2 months , and I'm having such a hard time finding juices I like.
I've tried at least 30 juices from different vendors and so far I've only found 1 that I like but would like a little variety.
I've tried fruit, drinks and bakery flavors and just cant seem to find juice that taste good to me. Its so disappointing getting vape mail and getting so excited to try it, just to get the same crappy result. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice? Help please!!

Keep researching and stick with sample sizes till you find THE ones. Heather's Heavenly Vapes Gandalf and Huntsman are popular. Ahlusion is getting big rounds of applause for their teas and fruit flavors. The Plume Room, Highbrow and Want2Vape are excellent for the tobacco (ie pipe, cigar et al) aficionados. Alice in Vapeland, Virgin Vapors and Rawr are popular for fruit/tea flavours. Mom n Pops is rated highly I love Pchela Poison. (a coffee). Nitelitevapor is massively followed primarily for their Bounty Hunter and Gold (they may be opening for 10 & 30 ml sizes next week if you don't mind using a postal order or cashier's check till they get their credit card gateway processor situation fixed). What is the flavor you currently enjoy and what flavors would you like to try?

Another consideration is to ask you what equipment you're using to vape? For example, Boge cartos have had some serious issues recently.

Definitely had that problem. It makes it even harder that so many of them need to steep for a while. Tried over 120 and truly like only about 8. I don't know the answer other than to keep trying anything you can get your hands on and go back and try them again a month later. I have a box of about 30-40 flavors that I need to trade or sell off. Maybe watch the classifieds for random juice lots like that to knock the cost down.

Thanks for all the recommendations, I really appreciate it, I've been using my ego twist, and I have been using the boges cartos,but they have been working well for me, its the taste of the juice I havent enjoyed. The 1 juice I really like is the watermelon drip from vape dudes. I'd love to find a good cola juice. I just got a cola and mountain dew juice today and didnt like it. The cola dosent taste anything like cola and the dew was meh.

Hula definitely makes some great suggestions...so I'll second those comments.

In addition..I was wondering if you have been off of cigarettes for 2 months as well? (some people have some transition time where they are still smoking a bit as well). Your tastebuds will change dramatically the first month or so after being done with the cigarettes...I have juices I couldn't taste at all back then, or absolutely hated, that I love now. Not to mention, the juices will change as they steep and mature as well.

Unfortunately, what you are going through isn't all that uncommon. I think some of the tobacco's Hula suggested are great (even though I am not a tobacco vaper anymore)....teas are a pleasant surprise as well. They weren't something I ever would have thought of when I started vaping...but once I tried a few good ones...WOW!. Very nice, very real (if you get the right ones) tasting teas. Some of my personal favorites have been green peach tea, berry tea, and green pear tea from Rawr. Ahlusion is also supposed to have some amazing teas....I will be trying them in a week or so.

You mentioned Boge cartos....since you are using a Twist, I might suggest grabbing a Vivi Nova. With some of the recent issues with Boge cartos, a lot of people also report an odd taste..and in some cases, some people are led to believe its the juices when they are trying out new flavors, when it could be an issue with the cartos. I'd maybe try some of these juices through another method just in case. I personally am loving the vivi novas...SUPER easy to use, great vape, consistent performance, no muted flavor since there is no filler material....and a really, cost effective solution as well.

What is the flavor of the one you do like? Have there been any other specific flavors you "almost" like? Or maybe even flavors you know you like in the non-vaping context? That might help us give you some more specific flavor suggestions...

There is definitely a lot of trial and error early on....and steeping can make a world of difference, so if you tried juices straight out of the mailbox and think you hated them....give them another shot in a week or two. Hula suggested a lot of great vendors, so if you haven't tried some of those...I'd suggest grabbing some sample packs from a few of them as well. The sample sizes are definitely the way to go to start.

Best of luck...it will definitely get better!

I havent touched 1 cig since I quit!! I do believe the boges I have are good, cuz I have had a carto in the past that tasted funky and these dont. When using a clero, how do u clean it if you want to try a another juice, or do you just use the same jucie per clearo like cartos? The few juices I almost like was grape and a mix of fruit gum juice. I never would think to try any teas flavor but I will have to know per your recommendation.Im try trying to steep a few juices now and praying it helps. fruits and drink flavors are what I think I will like best. I used to smoke marlboro reds, any idea what tobacco juice may taste similar to that? Thanks for your post I really appreciate all the help.

Also keep an open mind on different families of flavors. I just knew I was going to love the fruit vapes and vanilla vapes and was disappointed time and time again. Turns out most of what i like is bakery style desert, menthol and cinnamon vapes. My wife was just the opposite. You find your flavors in the oddest places and for many it is the last thing they thought they would like.

The Vivi Nova's couldn't be any easier to clean or switch flavors. I can't speak to the Kanger's first hand. With the vivi nova's, you literally unscrew the top, remove any juice that is left (if any), unscrew the bottom, rinse everything in some warm water...you can dry burn if you like, or put on one of the replaceable heads (they just screw on) and refill & vape. Here is a video that gives a better view of that process...super simple though! (he does some rebuilding in this video as well...which I personally have not gotten into) A PBusardo Tutorial - Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding - YouTube

It's amazing how much more flavor you get with the clearos, since you don't have that filler taste like with cartos. (When it's a good clearo anyway...I found the Stardusts to be far too inconsistent & annoying to deal with)

If you think you are liking fruits and drinks, I'd grab a couple sample packs from Rawr. They have about 6 different sample packs, like top sellers, teas, hawaii series (which is some of their tropical juices) etc. They do an amazing job with fruits. Ahlusion also has some really interesting fruity and beverage vapes, along with teas, and I've seen nothing but incredibly impressive reviews. I'm placing an order in a few days..it's taken me this long to try and cut my list down to something reasonable! They have a grape flavor, Rawr does not.

As far as finding something that tastes like Marlboro reds...unfortunately it just isn't going to happen. So many of us (myself included) went on the hunt for the juice that tasted like our cigarette brand, and they just don't exist. I'd maybe suggest Gandalf, or some of the other tobacco's Hula mentioned from Heathers Heavenly Vapes. Boba's Bounty from AVE (Alien Visions) is also a great juice, I don't vape tobaccos anymore, but I still love me some Boba's! Ahlusion also has a pretty extensive tobacco line...again, all of which are getting some great reviews. Rawr, HHV, and Ahlusion all offer sample packs. I don't believe AVE does...but it's probably worth just grabbing a small bottle of Boba's Bounty to check it out. If by chance you don't like it, you'll be able to easily get rid of it through the classifieds here.

Oh..and congrats on being smoke free for the full 2 months...that's awesome!! Hope this helps a bit!

What is it about them that you Don't like?

For me, I like Sweet e-Liquids and I could never find a Flavor that was Sweet Enough (It's what got me into DIY).

But if I add a Little Sweetener to most Retail e-Liquids they become at Least vapable. Some become quite Nice.

Someone on another thread said she was blown away by the authenticity of Ahlusion's Cherry Cola. Based on my own experiences with that vendor, I believe her! :)

Welcome to Ahlusion

I totally agree. Even flavors that others find too-too sweet are just barely sweet enough for me, but a little $5 bottle of PG based sweetener improves everything and makes just about any juice vapable.

If you cant find anything you like and just want to vape, try DIY, get some PG and VG ( one that has nic in the level you like) and vape that. It really is nice. And if you like you can add a drop of something light, like a touch of mint or lemon or citrus for a change up till you find what you like. Its cheaper and doesnt make you feel yucky from having to vape something awful.
