Biff - thanks for the info. Not sure I want to start with an EGO just yet but still decision making at the moment ;)
Wondering too, if radicaljd is still lurking here... is the blend on the juices from NicNirvana PG or VG, or both? Or PEG?

I asked this question of Cliff, the owner of NicotineNirvana. He told me that American Blend is 40% VG, and 60% PG. For me, that is the perfect ratio because the VG takes away the harshness and provides plumes of vapor, while there is enough PG to provide a decent throat hit.

I've tried numerous liquids, but American Blend has become my staple, about 75% of the time. Other times, I vape dessert-type liquids from TastyVapor.us as a treat.

Have you tried the flavored juice from NN or just from TastyVapor? Just wondering if one is stronger than the other or pretty much are they all the same across the board? Meaning, if I were to try a Cherry from NN and a Cherry from TV, are they pretty equal as far as taste/quality/TH?

Let me also ask, are there any issues with the China-based liquid? And do most e-liquid suppliers (such as TV or Strictlyejuice for example) all come from China?

I've only tried American Blend from NN. From TastyVapor I have tried Tasty Finger, German Chocolate, and Blueberry Cheesecake. It's hard to compare tobacco flavors with dessert liquids.

I have not been happy with any of the Chinese liquids I have tried. They all seem to have a chemical-like undertone. I'm pretty sure the StrictlyEJuice sells Chinese, pure PG stuff, which I didn't like at all.

NN sells both US-made liquids, and Chinese stuff. Cliff at NN told me that he personally makes American Blend. As for TV, they make all of their liquids themselves.

In my expereince they vary wildly from supplier to supplier - I like bananas foster coffee from MS Ts for example but not bananas foster from TV; and TV is one of my 2 staple suppliers! lol (the other is DIYFS). I love Tvs choc (in german choc cake I usually get extra added) but not so much Ms TS choc and I love DIYFS shack 55 but I hate one I got from another supplier (dont even remember who now lol). The ones I didnt like are liked a lot by other people - its really a personal taste deal.
Ive had RY4 (tobacco + caramel/molasses type flavor) from strictlyejuice (good) vs vapor (their own version, VS4) (lovely) DIYFS (yummy) cignot (dekang one not their 'good' range lol) and I liked that as well but not ONE tasted like another one.

Thank you so much for all your info RadicalJD!! I am overwhelmed to say the least, but trying to get a grip on everything - been reading non-stop for a few days now (well, not NON-stop lol, my bladder would not like me much if that were the case) and I feel like my eyes are crossing and my head is spinning. I appreciate everyone's insight/info and cannot thank you enough for the patience and time you've taken to help me today. You have probably saved me over $100 to start which will make my hubby very happy :)
(Unless of course, I use that extra cash saved to splurge on juice! ;) )

Thanks for the info. But, I think I'm getting a better deal from NicotineNirvana actually:
4 x Atomizer
4 x Rechargeable Manual-Switch Lithium Battery-Blue LED
1 x 100-240V AC Charger(US Plug) English Manual Included
5 x Standard Cartridges Marb. Medium Strength (no substitutions)
1 x Joye 510 USB Passthrough With High Capacity Inline Battery
1 x Joye 510 USB Battery Charger
1 x Joye 510 USB Car Adapter
1 x Joye 510 AC Outlet Adapter
20 Blank Cartridges

All I need to find now is an inexpensive PCC.

Thank you again though for the information - not going to buy any 30ml juice just yet. We're new and not sure what we'll until we can sample a few different things.

Do you have enough juice in that order to keep two of you up and running for awhile?

I made that mistake. Did not order juice. Glad I didn't order from my equipment supplier because I hated the little bottle they had in my kit/package. And I underestimated how long that little bottle would last!

Consequently, I was on the last drips in the bottle when my order of 'good' juice finally arrived.

just a thought,
Paula

Hi pjk,
Yes, I am also ordering some smaller size bottles of juice (6ml) from Ms T's. I have about 6 different flavors I am ordering, plus some cartomizers from VaporKings in 3 different flavors (we want to try both dripping and cartos to see which we prefer). Hopefully all that will last us a little bit and we can figure out which ones we like/dislike and then reorder bigger sizes after our initial trials.
Thank you for the help though - I love this forum!!! :D

I've purchased from Shawn(ZigCigs), and still purchase pre filled carts from him. It has always been a good experience. His testimonies on YouTube helped corroborate my father's claims about e-cigs and were decisive in my choice to try e-cigs.

Shawn has put together some good kits at reasonable prices. I think it is worth the investment if it gets you off the analogs.
