There are good juices both cheap and expensive. No one will like the same flavors at all. I don't like any of the above vendors juices but many do, I like some Dekang and China juices other don't. It is kind of a crap shoot until you find what you like and the only way to do that is to buy smallest bottles you can from many vendors and vape them. What does not work for you can be given to new vapers and maybe mixed with others you have to make a nice juice. Lots of sales going on this weekend, Good Prophets, Vapor Station, Liberty Flights has 5 ml bottles 20% off with 2.99 shipping and are Dekang Back Woods Brew has a 20% off code around here somewhere. You will spend more $ on finding your juice than you do on equipment. look at deals and steals in the pay it forward social group. Good luck and have fun.

What Dee said.

Premium juices don't exist, ejuice is just carrier and flavoring, all pg is harsh, has more th and bite to it, less vapor, this gives some the impression that it's cheap, vg is syrupy, smoother, less bite, more vapor, giving some the impression that it's higher quality. I like all pg for th and bite but it doesn't like me, dries my mouth and lips out too much so I go with 40% vg.

You can get fancy, grow your own organic herbs and whatnot, otherwise it's ready made off the self flavoring with the likes of Lorrans, Capellas, Flavourart, TPA, etc.

The tobacco juices from China are very good (they invented them) they make their own flavors, but the juices tend mostly to be pg.

By far your biggest hurdle will be dealing with all the hype and hoopla surrounding some USA vendors (only in America right :)) ..beware of terms like - 'the finest ingredients' and 'hand made'....yeah sure!...try pouring milk into your coffee using your feet.

Good luck, do some reading.

I third the vapor renu votes! It is true that the price of a product in the vaping world has much less to do with the quality of a product rather than how much profit the vendor wants to make. The only drawback with vapor renu is that they don't offer sample sizes, and truthfully that is a big drawback because everyone has different taste. That being said though, the juices are so cheap and easy to trade or resell, it's not a huge loss if you don't like it. I love VR juices, but for some there is not enough throat hit. I will say that with vapor renu juices, if you order a flavor, that's what the juice tastes like. I have found with a couple popular vendors, the taste is off or doesn't taste at all the way you expected it to taste. I do strongly recommend a triple or double shot of flavor though, the regular shot is just not enough flavor for me. Some strong flavors from VR are banana nut bread, cinammon red hots, captain rum and blackberry. I tend to like tobacco flavors with 555 from VR and Max from Vaporbomb being all day vapes. Vaporbomb has cheap samplesl and I like their juices as well.

I have a problem with someone who thinks Chinese juice is very good coming out and saying that premium ejuice doesn't exist. @smonomo, so you don't hold juices where the maker is creating their own tobacco extracts, multi-sourcing or making their own flavorings makes those juices stand out in a world full of DIY recipes and artificial flavors? You either have not done any homework into finding out who is making quality juice, or you just don't care. Don't compare a vendor like Vaperite to Dekang, it's ridiculous.

Nothing personal, I am not calling you an idiot or anything, but I strongly disagree with you.

No.

When I first started vaping I wanted/needed plenty of flavor and th, Dekang "tobacco" type flavors provided that (I have no interest in the fruits and candy) and enabled me to quit smoking.

I've tried the absolutes and extracts, but the tobacco cologne type flavor is not for me thanks, I much prefer the imitation flavors, is it healthier?.. perhaps not (that's another topic) but for a noob looking to quit, it's flavor and th first, and health second.
Is low fat cheese better for you than regular cheese, sure, does it taste better, nope, so which one is the premium cheese?

I've since cut back on nic, and way wayyyyy back on flavor, and vaping too.

Listen, if you got suckered into the gourmet cigar and brandy lounge that's your problem, but don't try to sell me the bs.

Carrier, flavor...get it?

I strongly disagree with you. Everyone has different tastes, you can't say someone is wrong because they don't like what you do. Just because a vendor may go an extra mile with their juices doesn't make it "premium" to someone who doesn't like it. I myself don't hate all dekang juice, but I have some juice I will NEVER vape that is dekang. I have ordered from a popular supplier and ended up kicking myself because it was worse than dekang to me. As far as DIY, there is nothing wrong with that at all, you can personalize juice to your own preference and it is the cheapest route to go. After all, you have quite a few vendors out here touting their juice as something special because it is "hand-mixed." If I can DIY and it's better than the vendor I would be buying from and more suited to my taste, that is "premium" to me without the outrageous cost. It's not whether a vendor creates their own tobacco extracts or multi-sources, it's if a person likes the juice or not. However, if someone wants to have such an elitist attitude about juice, there will be vendors out there that will be more than happy to tell you exactly what you want to hear about how special their juice is; the rub is that you'll have to pay more for the attitude that accompanies the juice.

Look, I am not trying to start a juice flame war, by any means. As you pointed out, taste is subjective. The difference is self evident to me; a juice like Vaperite APV or Backwoods Casablanca is the juice equivalent of a quality microbrew beer, single malt scotch, or artisanal cheese. Some people could care less about such things, and there is nothing wrong with that. If I think Vaperite VR4 is like a Mercedes compared to your Brand X RY4's Hyundai, and you don't see the difference, you get the last laugh because your brand costs pennies on the dollar of what my brand does.
