does no one like premium?

[Lynn Miller]

I am really new at all this and I am trying out lots of different companies. I am finding that I like the higher priced juices more than the others. The exception would be ITCvapes, there are several that I think are wonderful.

A point that I would like to make to all those people talking about how you are just paying for packaging, etc... take a look at what Nickoticket is going through right now with the switch to glass bottles. A lot of people prefer glass but it has to survive the mail. So now they have to rethink their packaging. Maybe folks like five pawns have it figured out.

What do I like so far? five pawns, ITC, King's Crown, Suicide Bunny, POET. I am deciding on a few others. I did love Nickoticket's Peanut Butter Cookie and will probably reorder that when available.

I am not knocking anyone's company just trying to convey my experience so far.

I shall be forever grateful to MBV Hawk Sauce because it enabled me to finally not have an analog close by just in case. I have found very few juices that knock my socks off. I really wanted to like Nico's CLS...just not for me. Really wanted to like the Killer juices I ordered...they just smell and taste like cheap perfume. I'm at this point down to Hawk, one or two from EC Blends, 1 from Virgin Vaper. Hopefully some steeping will help with the two i got from Velvet Clouds, but right now, they don't taste anything like the description. And like always, I have high hopes for orders from Vape Wild and Zeus.

I may have damaged my taste buds horribly. But it is what it is.

I didn't read every page of this thread but what exactly do you define as "premium"? If you're talking about higher priced, high quality e-liquids there are tons of companies out there that offer that and I love quite a few of them. MBV is a phenomenal juice and is very well priced but one thing I hate about them is in order to get full flavor I have to steep the darn things for 2 weeks! Who wants to buy a liquid and not be able to get the desired flavor right off the bat.. When I look for high quality "premium" e-liquids I almost always go for VaporFi because of their custom blend options which gives me an almost limitless number of different flavors to choose from and 9 times out of 10 it tastes exactly as described.

If I'd ever found a "premium" that was worth the extra 5-10$ I'd probably be happy to pay it - but the fact is I just haven't really. Any more than 10$ for 15ml and I'm immediately skeptical, ESPECIALLY when sample sizes aren't offered. And when I can find a ton of juices I like at an incredibly low price, I just see no need to waste my time and money on "complex" "premium" "insert other buzz word" juice that is, at best, as satisfying as the budget lines.

Taste is subjective. I don't like mushrooms - that doesn't make them bad. So if you're getting the vape you want out of a premium juice, go for it! It's totally worth it.

Lol sample sizes

I really like all those companies dude. Try beantown vapor and cyclops vapor. Two more great companies to add to your list. My favorite suicide bunny is sucker punch, my favorite kings crown is bound by the crown or the king and my favorite POET is the lemon flavor (I forget the name)

I've had 2 orders from MBV. 6 different flavors in total. Theyre all tasteless and simple.

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

I smoked cigarettes for 42 years! What do I care if my juice is good or not? LOL

Did you steep them properly for the recommended amount of time? If they're tobacco flavors they recommend 4-6 weeks of steeping =/. You're right though, some of the flavors are very boring. You can't deny they're good budget vaping if you're not into DIY though but if I have some spare cash I don't pick them as my first option. Who's your go to brand DeathBYzomieZ?

 

[stevegmu]

The juices I use taste great upon arrival without added steeping. Maybe that's what makes them premium...

the guy punked out before it could eat him, what a fraud

Yeah you're right. We should all eat horrible food and watch crappy movies while we're at it.

We do that already.

I didn't buy premium tobacco for the same reason I don't buy premium juice, I can't afford it.

I let them steep for like 2 months. I still have them. They're probably 8 months old by now. My favorite juices are sucker punch and the OB by suicide bunny, lemonem by beantown vapor (they also make a banana foster flavor that is amazing) and the hatter by vaping rabbit. I have quite a few others too. I can't say I dislike any of my premiums. I usually order from drip club or giant vapes. They have sales often.

i consider Halo to be a premium quality juice vendor. Tribeca was the very first juice i tried and i love it. recently i saw a post here where a member tried it and he said it tasted like he was vaping sewing machine oil. i got a good laugh out of that description. everybody has different tastes. right now i`m vaping nicks blissful brew smoked custard. i like it. the OP likes it but that does not mean everybody likes it or thinks its a premium juice. another one of my favorites is a DIY RY4 that costs me about $3 for 30ml. is it premium? i guess not. does it taste great? h#ll yeah!

Tribeca has been my ADV for over a year now.

One of the things I like about Halo is they do offer sample-sized bottles (7ml) for $5.99 for all of their e-liquids. And they even have sample packs that are actually cost effective...you end up getting 42ml for $24.99 (six bottles).

Also, they randomly throw in a 10ml samples, and they have a good rewards program.

I have been meaning to try others, and this thread has opened my eyes to some I had never heard of.

The show turned out to be pretty horrible haha it had so much hype.

I love to drink 5 year old Knob Creek small batch, but at the end of the week it's Jim Beam.

After 30 years, I switched from smoking to vaping for my health and to save money.

After a year, my FT SVD and MVP2 still work. MBV, VW and ITC get that and most people are more than good with what works at a value.

Maybe, but a crap sandwich is a crap sandwich.

More bread anyone?
