It is not disloyal to say you get juice elsewhere, SI sell blank cartomizers for those of us who prefer other juices. I spent a lot of money trying other juices and I have a drawer full of FSUSA juice that I need to use up so I get heaps of blank cartomizers from SI. But I actually have found myself vaping 3 of SI juices all the time which are RY4, 555 and Grape so I think its going to take me a long time to use up all of these FSUSA juices lol... I think SI is stronger in the hardware department than the juice tho as they dont provide many flavours. I am just one of the lucky ones I guess who is satisfied with what they have so they are my one stop shop now :)
Yes, I'd like to have a one-stop shop too, but I'll probably wind up getting flavors elsewhere. However, the important thing for me is having a hardware vendor I can trust. I can get juice in a lot of places and if a bottle doesn't work out, oh well. Now that I think I've found the hardware, the rest is cake. :) I must admit that grape sounds intriguing.

I really love the classic grape flavour, the newer grape flavour is ok but its not better than the classic grape. I like to vape the classic grape in the afternoons, its sweet and tangy and refreshing. The cherry and vanilla I dislike the most, the cherry is vapable and it does have a smokey cherry flavour which might be close to what you are looking for (but taste is very subjective as you know) but I really found the vanilla hideous LOL!

Ha! Glad you said that about the Vanilla, because I was looking at it thinking "How bad could it be? Not as bad as crab juice." Now I think I'll skip the vanilla. If I do decide to vape grape (and it rhymes!) I'll try the classic first since you recommend it.

Well now Im nervous that the cherry and vanilla lovers will come out of their corners and lynch me hahahaha. Im not the best at describing flavours, Grape tastes pretty close to how I imagine a purple plump juicy ripe grape should taste with a nice throat hit and refreshing after taste.

Ry4 is hard for me describe but it satisfies my cravings when I feel like a cigarette and goes awesome with coffee or after a meal for me. It is the one I vape the most.

555 is nutty and I dont really think very tobacco like but I kinda like it with a glass of beer or bubbly.

Chocolate is creamy and smooth its nice but I don't buy it often.

Cappuchino for me is ok, but I prefer FSUSA's

Watermelon is great too but its not my every day choice but I vape it once a week at least. It does taste like watermelon too.

I would love to see SI get a juicy peach flavour as one of my favourite peach flavours comes from HealthCabin and since SI makes a better grape juice than HealthCabin Im hoping they read this comment and give Juicy Peach a go :D

I think I've decided to look for my tobacco substitute first before I try the sweeter stuff. Once I've got my day-to-day stuff, then I'll feel more comfortable about experimenting. The samples I got from SI will get me by, but I'm not in love with any of them.

The peach flavor you mention doesn't tempt me in the least, so at I think I have retained some of my sanity! lol

I hear ya! I have been vaping for 4 months now and I got very frustrated finding my tobacco flavour, I gave up and ventured into other flavours. Its very hard to find a substitute to burning tobacco leaves in the vaping world LOL!! I didnt think i would enjoy fruit flavours either so that was a pleasant suprise. My RY4 was my tobacco substitute. Cowboy and Freedom and other tobaccos I have tried were just gross for me.

Hmmm. Okay, here's first impressions.
--Looks almost exactly like the 510 I already have, which is what I was looking for. (Black with purple light)
--Was a bit disappointed when I found I got a manual battery when I was expecting automatic. Was REALLY disappointed when I found out that I ordered a manual batt by mistake. lol That's okay, I do like manual batts too. Next batt is an auto.
--Tried all the sample flavors I got. Kinda like Cowboy and Ry4. None of them really knocked my socks off, but that's okay. None of them were horrible either.
--The flavors taste a bit harsh, but I'm pretty sure that's because I got 24mg when I probably should have gotten 18mg. All I could do was guess.
--Batt came fully charged, which was awesome because I'd just run out of analogs.

Well, that's most of the first impressions. Let's see how long the batt lasts (I got the bigger one).

I started out with automatic batteries, but lately, I've been using my manual battery almost exclusively, and I like it better. I think the vapor is better from the manual. That's probably because I'm not drawing right on the autos, but if the manual is easier to get good vapor from, that's what I go for.

Yep, everyone's taste is different. As soon as I find something comfortable, I'll be good. I'm just afraid to find something too comfortable or I'll intake more nicotine than I was before!

Almost forgot to mention...having the name of the flavor right on the carto-- very nice!

That's why I got a label maker. If I fill blank cartos, I need to know what's in them, and the colored end caps just aren't enough. I'd have to have a chart telling me what each color meant. With a label, it's right there, no matter what end cap is on the carto. I got spoiled when I got the prefilled cartos with the names of the flavors in the sampler packs, so now I need that system for the cartos I fill.

I like the auto I had because it was less work. I'm REALLY lazy. :) I guess I have a knack for the manuals because I've always been able to control the draw and get great vapor. It's a little harder with the Volt because the button is a bit recessed from the batt case, so I have to press harder than I was used to.

See, I'm the opposite. Cowboy is okay, but didn't care a whole lot for 555. With one of my other sample kits, I got what they called "Sweet Tobacco". Tasted just like the Cherry tobacco you smoke in a pipe. It is awesome. Too bad they sent me like 1mg of nic in them. Tasted great, but did nothing for my nic cravings.

So, can you order that same flavor in higher nic? That sounds like the perfect solution.

Well, I'm way too lazy to bother with a labeler. Too much work for me! lol

I have mentioned my dislike for the manual button before too, its too far recessed and I dont know how guys with big thumbs would go!! I prefer autos for the reasons you have LOL

I hear that menthol juice is way better than menthol analogs. Any truth to that? I used to smoke menthols long ago.

My favorite tobacco flavor so far is Desert Joe, but I do like SI's 2 menthol flavors. I think I even like them better than the mint flavor. And I hate, hate, hate menthol analogs. The taste they leave in my mouth is overpowering and yukky! Still, I think my tastes are leaning away from a tobacco taste and toward other flavors, like fruit (as long as it tastes like real fruit and not candy, something SI's watermelon does pretty well) and chocolate and cinnamon. SI's chocolate is really nice because it's not sweet. I don't like overly sweet flavors, either, which is why I prefer a real fruit flavor to a fruit candy flavor.

I can't do it with my thumb very well. I have to use my index finger and it looks like I'm playing the piccolo or something.

153?! Holy Vapes!

I think there are people out there with that many. I remember an ECF thread Uncle turned us on to a while ago with a name something like "Show Us Your Stash" and a guy had one of those big red metal toolboxes -- you know the kind Snap-On makes? -- filled to overflowing with vaping stuff. What can one person do with all that?

BTW, where's Uncle lately?

Well, for one thing, he can go broke.

Lots of people love SI's grape. Actually, there are 2 grape flavors. One is just called Grape, and the other is Classic Grape (I think that's the name). I like the Classic Grape better. it has a smoky taste, and the new grape tastes more like grape soda.
