I am pretty new so I do not even know where the line is between premium and whats not. I did order a couple bottles from ITC since the thread here was so popular. Most of the juices I have tried so far come from a local vape shop that makes their own. I did pick up a bottle of Ruthless Jungle Fever that I really enjoyed, not sure they are premium though.

On another note I am about to run out to a shop to see if they have any Cuttwood Boss Reserve.

What do you consider "premium?" I'm currently paying $14.50 for 30 ml at Mr. E-Liquid for a couple of favorites that I fully enjoy. I treat myself to 30ml of Sunset Cavendish from Hurricane about once a month. I don't really have a desire to try out anything more expensive because these are satisfying my needs right now. And since I'm only a couple of hours away from Mr. E's I can get my order the next day.

Everyone's always talking about mt baker, ITCvapes and vape wild. No one talks about the premium stuff. The premium stuff is so good!

So what's the premium blend that's so good?

I vape both low end and high end.

I find premium blends are a much smoother vape.
But sometimes I need more of a cigarette feel still.

I'm really enjoying suicide bunny's series, especially claim your throne.
Same with high roller sweets dueces wild.

But itc's spoon licker OG is freak goodness.
And mr e liquids neptune at a 50/50 blend. Oh yeah.

The steam co moment 37. I hate cinnamon flavoring usually, but this one is scrumptious.

Goodlife spook sauce and sangria
Nicoticket h1n1 and frenilla

Bionic' drunken jungle

If you enjoy it, and find pleasure in it, is it not premium?

I agree,and just because someone charges $30 for a 30ml bottle doesn't really classify it as "Premium",there is a reason alot of people are posting about the lower priced places,because you can get really good juice without having to spend a fortune to get it.

I just feel like everyone wants to talk about these low end companies and whenever I talk about ANML, beantown, cyclops or crft (just a few great companies). No one has anything to say. But da so tastieee doh.

There are a lot of great vendors out there... both high and low priced. I wish I had the $ and coils to try them all.

I don't use the word "premium" any more to describe juices anymore.
I use price points instead as I've seen very high quality low cost juice, and very low quality high priced juice.

Imo, a higher priced juice ideally gets you complexity,definition and balance between flavors.
Those things take time and money to produce in a juice and makes it worth a higher price tag.

Lower cost juices that are well made usually lack complexity mainly, as high quality ingredients can be had still at a lower price.

I'm not sure what your obsession with "premium" juice is, but just because a juice is cheap, does not make it not premium. The reverse is also true.

When I smoked, I didn't care if someone smoked Marlboros while I was smoking Dunhill Internationals.
Gauloise (sp?) were premium cigs, imported from France, and I thought they tasted like crap.

Five Pawns has a premium juice that has Fennel in it. Worst tasting juice ever.

Edit: What do you vape, anyways?

When I smoked I hated cheap cigarettes. I could definitely taste the difference. I smoked Marlboro blend no 27 and I still think they're the best cigarettes ever made. Well the thing with any juice is if you don't like the flavor then you won't like the juice, duh.

It's not that I have an obsession with premium juice. I have an obsession with vaping and I love great juice.

Right now I'm vaping Beantown Vapor Lemonem and Smoked Custard by Nick's Blissful Brews. But I havery quite a few other in my rotation.

"Premium" to me just means expensive. Anything around $20.00 for a 30 ml, IMHO, is premium juice. But a high price tag doesn't guarantee I'm gonna love the juice. Cosmic Fog is pricey stuff, and I thought their Milk & Honey was tasteless. ECBlends sells 30 mls for around nine bucks, and there are a lot of their juices that I totally love. Velvet Cloud Vapors - back to around twenty bucks for a 30 ml, but their Mewlew's Revenge is worth every penny!

So, do I dislike premium juices? No. I hate bad tasting juice. I hate expensive, bad tasting juice even more. I'm to the point where I don't buy Premium juices online anymore. It just annoys the hell out of me when I pay a premium price for a bottle of juice that just winds up in the trash. I'd rather try a premium juice in a brick and mortar store (and support my local economy!) to see if it's everything it's cracked up to be before I buy. If I like it, I'll buy it! But if I don't, then there's 20-30 bucks not wasted.

Note: If an online "Premium" e-juice vendor offers small samplers, I might give them a chance if the juice sounds really good. Most don't. If it's "buy a $22.00 30 ml or nothing" I choose the latter. Been burned too many times.

Maybe, but a crap sandwich is a crap sandwich.
There's the problem... Crap to who? You? Me? My definition of crap maybe different than yours. I assure you that your definition is not gospel.

Because you don't happen to like the taste of (for example) MBVs Hawk Sauce, but another person thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, are they wrong? According to your posts they are!

I happen to thing 99% of say Five Pawns tastes like crap, am I wrong? Nope! My tastes and what i want in a juice are different than yours.

I vape Nicoticket, Mad Murdock, and Good Life Vapor. None carry a premium price tag and I assure you none of them taste like a "crap sandwich".

Sounds like a pretty elitist statement to me.
