comparing "premium" juices to juices that aren't as well known

[daviedog]

The 'best' juice is the most expensive juice. Go on, ask the vendor..

Most of my juice comes from Vape Wild or Mt Baker these days, the only premium juice I buy is Alice in Vapeland. AIV juice has a lot of depth, I can hit it all day and still find something novel in it. Considering my local shops charge about the same for 30 ml AIV is worth my time. For more sundry flavors and most of my all day vapes Mt Baker and Vape Wild do just fine. So in a month I'll buy 3 from Mt Baker and Vape Wild and 1 or 2 from AIV yeah I'll have left overs, but I'm still searching thes kinda hard to fun web of flavors.

To me a premium juice needs that depth of flavor to justify the price. It's kinda hard to talk about this simply without getting deep yet also empty sounding buzz words like full bodied, complicated, and rich which can mean different things to different people.

I've tried the cheap stuff and noticed there's just not a lot of flavor. maybe the premium brands are steeping their juice.maybe they're shelling out for more flavor in their recipes. but I can definitely tell a difference between five pawns and vapor island.

If you order from Vapewild they actually tell you to store it and let it steep. I have found a few store juices I can vape that are on the "cheaper" side. I think it's more of a mentality that I need to vape the new flavor right now.

Has anyone tried boilermaker brand? I've heard it's good (vise specifically) but from what I gather it's only 50/50 mix.

Really depends what you are aiming for... Quantity or quality.
I personally love kings barell flavor key master. It's made in LA Cali. It's 50/50 mix with great minty taste with a woody chocolate taste. I have the tsunami Vpower. I def love the blue voltage. Trial and error. Good luck

Some brands just plain suck while others are great. And if buying straight from a vendor, a lot of times you really do need to steep. Perhaps Five Pawns pre-steeps their juice but most do not.

A lot of times some damn fine gourmet juice gets a bad rap because steeping these more complex varieties can take a very long time. Most of my simple fruits are ready within a week. But when getting into those bakery and tobacco vapes, steeping can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months before it's at its peak.

Either way though. No juice should cost what Five Pawns charges and its very much a perceived value. Also keep in mind that the prices were set back when we were using very modest setups. That 30ml bottle of juice was going to last you a month or two and because of this, vendors had much more overhead. Now that most of us are using more advanced mods, the prices really need to come down.

I usually prefer premium juices and it was all I bought till i joined ECF. Out of all the budget vendors ive tried Id say Vape Wild is my least favorite and ITCvapes and Affordable Vaping my favorites.

I used to buy a local premium juice that people in my state love. I usually got their.blue razz and it was good but i need more sour. I ordered some blue razz from affordable vaping and it was ok out thw mail, but after a month is far better then the premium and is 1 of the best juicea ive ever had.

extracted from angel tears? Or have little Greek chicks in togas stomping the tobacco leaves in a wooden vat for extract?

Funny, I heard it was Jesus's tears and that it was angels stomping tobacco leaves.

But, I've also heard that premium vendors usually make it in their bathtub and wait for their bottles to come in from China, while printing the labels at the local Staples or Fedex office Because they know a friend, that has a buddy who's neighbor goes to the gym with their cousin's niece, that instructs crossfit and swims with her brother who works with a guy that works at his uncle's Vape shop where he can sell it for 2 12ml bottles for $20 specials.

What are we talking about again?
