Challenge: Pick the 5 Juices you'd recommend to a new vaper

[AZCraig]

The challenge:

Pick the 5 juices you'd recommend to a new user with the goal that they'd likely find their "daily vape" amongst the 5. The idea is that this might get someone to quit analogs quicker than if it takes them months to find their daily vape. Assume an adequately powered / setup PV. Assume they need at least 18mg/mL nicotine to get off analogs, so any juice that isn't available at least in that strength is disqualified.


Here's my 5:

1. Ms T's Bakery - Snickerdoodle Cookie
2. alien Visions - Boba's Bounty
3. Electronic Stix - Watermelon Frost
4. Perfect Electronic Cigarette - Peach tobacco
5. Dripeez - Golden Apple

1. IKV RY4
2. V4L Jammin'
3. BWB Orchard Frost
4. BWB Malty Toffee
5. BMV Hypermint

I was a menthol smoker. Hate menthol e-juice though. LOL

The ONLY flavor I've found that I like, and am absolutely HOOKED on is

1. Ms T's Bakery - Banana Fosters Coffee with Cream

I don't like fruit flavors, or cigarette. Other coffee flavors I've tried are OK, but I just can't seem to find anything else that compares or makes me want to smoke it. I'm hopeless.

I feel exactly the same, whenever I find something I like, it taste different the second time and I start to hate it, I am fed up of the fruity flavors, and I can't seems to find something that makes me want to vape. I seem to like prefilled cartos like the blu's cherry and the green smoke tobacco. However, I will vote for the following:
- citrus twist from darkcityvapor.com
- cunundrum from bwb

If the idea is that this might get someone to quit analogs quicker than it should be something a bit similar to tobacco to start with, mine were and still are:

1.555
2.Hilton
3.Ry4
4.Desert ship
5.Virginia

The five juices I'd recommend to a new vaper are the five that sound the most enticing to them. I'd also direct them to the PIF sub forum and tell them to get involved with trades to be able to try a bunch of flavors for the least amount of money. (which is how I found my first daily vape)

Taste is too subjective to define 5 specific juices every new vaper should try.

 

[stomkat]

I will say, out of all tobacco flavors, I like RY4 the best. The stuff Janty and CigEasy uses for their prefills are decent. Haven't ever just ordered a bottle, but prefills you have a choice of what they have. It's not my "go to" flavor, but tastes good.

 

[GWG73]

1. KBV Peppermint Ice Cream
2. TVR Vanilla Cupcake
3. KBV Gooey Better Cake
4. TVR Peanut Butter Cookie
5. KBV Warm Sugar Cookie

Still new, but these are my recommendations after trying 5 or so vendors.

 

[frosting]

1. Vapor God -Redbull

2. Mister E - Grape Ice

3. Sweet Vape- Melon Bubble Mint

4. Kick Bass Vapor -Buttercream Frosting

5. Vapor God- Cotton Candy


I agree flavor is way too subjective to really set in stone anything for people. My choices where just to try to hit different flavor variables sweet, sour, menthol,mint, dessert. I think new vapers should defiantly try different variables to see what suits them be it tobaccos, tea, candy, fruit, dessert, mint,ect. My advice would be try a couple of at least 2 variations that sound good to you.

 

[jplanet]

No use telling someone to try five of MY favorites - I would suggest a variety so they can find what their flavor profile is:

1 cigarette-like tobacco (Halo Prim15, Vapor Station Tampa or Texas)
1 cigar-like tobacco (Alien Visions Havana Gold, Highbrow Cigar)
1 fruit - take your pick
1 Vanilla - Highbrow or NLV
1 dessert - Mrs T's, etc.

 

[Tiesel]

555
RY4
Red Bull

I only have 3, still trying to find those vapes that would turn the average analog smoker.

 

[AZCraig]

Interesting that KBV got so many picks... I'm going to have to try some of those myself

 

[daniele25]

These are the 5 that definitely helped me early on, and I would think provide a good sample of juices that have that "all day vape" potential:

Boba's Bounty - Alien Visions
Casablanca - Backwoods Brew
Orchard Frost - Backwoods Brew
Melonbacko - Backwoods Brew
Beachin' - Rawr Vapors

 

[genelman]

1-) Citrus twist from darkcityvapo.com
2-) RY4 from highbrowvapor.com
3-) Cunundrum from BWB
4-) Cola BWB
5-) Boba from AVE

I love seeing what flavors people would rate as their top 5 but I think its pretty pointless if things like throat hit rating aren't included. To me, its the overall experience. Some people might not be TH junkies and other can't vape something without adequate TH.

So, here's my list with TH rated 1 to 5 with 5 being highest.

AVE Boba's Bounty - 4
AVE Havana Gold - 4
AVE Gorilla Juice - 4
Quick Nic Enigma - 5
BWB RY4 - 4 - (Hated this right out of the mailbox but after steeping for a month, yes a month its actually vapable and is pretty refreshing and enjoyable when I need a break from the others. Actually, I vape all of the above interchangeably throughout the day.

I like Quick Nic's Enigma so much mainly due to its massive TH that I ordered 8 other flavors to sample today. This one tastes like chocolate mixed with caramel or vanilla and has serious throat hit. I would imagine a new vaper would want at least some TH and they wouldn't be disappointed with any of these. I wouldn't recommend some weak sauce fruit flavor with no TH to a heavy smoker trying to kick analogs.

For a brand-new vaper?

1 Any of the Kentucky Premium blends from Vermillion River (my preference was KP #7)
2 A good dessert or mixed-drink flavor from Gen X Vapors (I'd probably recommend either the Savannah Strawberry Cake or the XYZinger, both are fantastic)
3 A mild, lightly sweet flavor (I'd likely recommend Gummy Sabers from More Vapor, as it's mild enough in flavoring that it's not overwhelming but still has enough flavor to entice the taste buds)
4 A good coffee flavor if they're a coffee drinker (BWB Espresso is really good for a strong coffee)
5 Something nut-like but not too sweet (probably BWB's Nutty, possibly Liberty Flights' almond PG) for those non-sweet moments

There are many other options out there, mind you, and I could recommend a few dozen good juices at this point, but that gives tobacco, sweet, lightly sweet, not sweet, and omg coffee -- a combo which helped me personally to kick the habit.
