With that kind of narrow-minded, elitist attitude, you should have started a thread called "Why doesn't anyone talk about the juice I like?" As for me, I'll keep vaping my "crap sandwich," Five Pawns Castle Long Reserve.

What is an "SOP"?
OP- Why do you care what juices other people like?
Whatever brand or flavor someone uses to be able to quit (or cut back) smoking cigarettes is the best juice there is.
I don't really know how to respond to your other comment. I did not waste my money since I enjoy the juices I buy and I didn't waste anyones time, because this is obviously a thread about premium juice. The comment fit the thread.

I let this thread steep for a day but it still smells like troll to me...![]()
For 2.99 a bottle, and not steeped, I wouldn't think Vape Wild matches your definition as a premium juice.
This thread reads like it's trying to be a conversation about premium juices, but comes off more like people wanting to defend their reasons to go with a value brand, such as the ones you call out in your first post.
A lot the subsequent comments come off sounding a little insincere.
I don't know why everyone hates on what others want to vape. Kind of an ignorant thread to begin with though. My usual vapes are PG Hype, Grandmas CD, 100$ Apple Pie, and a few others. I don't really consider any of them "premium," but they are what I like.
However, I do enjoy a tank full of Castle Long once a week. It's just a great vape, imo, but it costs too much to vape it exclusively. I'll say this about CL. I've NEVER tried a vape that brings out one of the many flavor hits to the front by changing the wattage as much as it does. It's very impressive stuff.
Again, people like what they like. If they want to spend money on a higher priced product, let them and don't talk down to them. Some people like massively complex juice while others just like the simpler flavors. I enjoy both but on a consistent basis, I like the simpler flavors.
I haven't talked down to anyone.
Do you like Hype? I remember trying this juice a year ago when I had my vv ego style battery and protank. I thought it was the best juice ever! I bought it again 2 months ago and the flavor seems muted. Still peachy and melon but just lighter.
I wasn't pointing that comment towards anyone in particular. Just in general on these boards I see a lot of pretentiousness as well as anti-pretentious, if that makes sense.
I LOVE hype. As far as fruit flavors go, it's the best imo. Very very tasty. I haven't bought any lately due to me stockpiling a while ago so I don't know if it has changed.
I bought it once just to try it at a B&M for $38. Liked it, and when I saw a guy selling it on the classies for $30 a bottle shipped, I got two more bottles. It's pricey, but it's not my all day vape, I like it, and can afford it. That makes it a good value for me. When I do get more, I will go with the well-reviewed clone of it from the steam co.Its just the way I feel man. Just like he feels the exact opposite.
5pawns is too expensive for me dude. Especially castle reserve. Isn't it like $40?!? Sheesh. They really sucked you in.
This is an interested thread.
I have tried and enjoyed what I consider to be "premium" brands such as Hurricane Vapors and Five Pawns. Average cost per mil there is generally .75+
More often, I order from vendors such as ITC Vapes, Vape Wild and In The Clouds, whose average price per ml is less than .45, even at small quantities. I don't order from MBV, whose chemical tones in their juices really turn me off.
Are the "premium" brands twice as good? To me, the answer is "no". A bit more complex, maybe, but all in all, I started vaping to quit smoking cigarettes (which I've done successfully since Feb. 2013), and part of that was saving money on cigarettes. If I'm spending $100 + on vape juice every month, there is no savings.
The three brands I mentioned, as well as Keystone (I consider them a "tweener" pricewise, as they're at about .60/ml), deliver great-tasting juices at an affordable prices with solid customer service. The package is professional, and I don't give a damn about fancy packaging or anything like that.
Now, your experience may vary. Please know that I have no problem buying generic in the grocery or drug store, that's the type of guy I am (read "The Millionaire Next Door"), not that I'm a millionaire, but I try to be frugal![]()
I'm ordering from vape wild to try their juice. It's basically a test of sorts.
So out of the juice vendors you called out in your OP- have you tried all of them? Im curious....or you just tried one and am lumping them all together with your preconcieved notions..
For my money I will go with Vape Wild. Taste like premium to me. Does it have to be high priced to be premium??
