ok so i just got paid and i decided that all the money i have left after paying bills and allocating for needs like gas and food will go towards e juice. ever since i got into vaping i have been using run of the mill budget liquid. some from mtbakervapor and mostly juice made in house by local vape shops. at 5 bucks for a 15 ml bottle i figured its all i would ever need but after months of using this stuff my taste for it all is just gone. it all has the same cheap taste and the flavors have become muted and old. plus I'm down to about 15 mls total between 3 or 4 flavors. so i have about 60 bucks to splurge on some good juice. the problem is i just don't know what to get. there are so many brands and so many reviews on youtube and my mind is just cluttered with it all. i don't want to spend a crazy amount on each bottle (for example suicide bunny is too expensive. 22 bucks for 30 mls is just too much for what i get). so i wanted to ask some of the vets and other flavor junkies what some good juices are. basically I'm looking to take the next step up from mtbakervapor and nicquid and all that generic stuff. my local shop has a premium line and i picked up a nice glass bottle of blue raspberry citrus today and it is amazing but they only have about 3 flavors. so any suggestions? i prefer mainly fruit flavors but i don't like apple. and i usually go with either max VG or 70/30 VG/PG. so any suggestions? looking to spend between 8 and 13 dollars per 15 ml. thanks a lot guys.

Here are some I would suggest:

Fuzion Vapor-get their sampler pack. You can get 3 different flavors for $23. I bet you could even find a coupon code somewhere. That's a good place to try. My favorites from them are Black Jack, The Griffin, and Zombie Killer.

Then I would head on over to Giant Vapes. They sell a ton of different juices from different vendors. And they have free shipping on everything. There are coupon codes there, too. I think "reddit10" may get you 10% off your first purchase, but not sure, you will have to try and see if it's still active. They have juices from $6/bottle all the way up to $30/bottle. My favorite lines are Derp Sauce, Big Willies, and Neckbeards.

I also enjoy Vapor Chef. At $3.99 for each sample bottle, you can get a good few to try out and see what you like. My faves are Black Pom Pom and Pina Guavada. Yum.

As for MBV, I like a few of theirs, but they do get tiring after a while. I received "Bloodbath" from their GWAR line on a trade, and I really love it. Some of the best juice from MBV I've ever had. I like that it is not customizable and designed to vape well straight from the bottle as is.

Good luck, and please post on here what you decide to buy!

If you like tobacco flavors Goodejuice has fantastic NET's at your price range. I was stuck with the generic MBV stuff also and was blown away once i tried e-juice from other places. Heather's Heavenly Vapes is within your price range too, they are handcrafted. The purity line is PG free so you can get the ratio you desire.

Isnt the GWAR line not made by MBV? Might explain why it is so good :p.

I guess now I'm not sure. I thought MBV made it and slapped it with the GWAR name. I could be wrong. Either way, it's good. And I don't even know anything about GWAR other than they were often a topic on the Beavis and Butthead show in the days of yore.

I forgot where i saw it but it said they get shipments which is why they are frequently out of stock, no ratios or flavor shots either. The lack of customization is a good thing though, one small change can completely throw a bottle of e-juice off. +1 for mentioning Beavis and Butthead.

Two flavors I would get that seem to be pretty universally loved (well, as much as they can be considering how different we all are):

Suicide bunny Mother's Milk (Giant Vapes)
Frenilla or Custard's last stand from Nicoticket

Frenilla just happens to be up right now, it only runs in limited batches. While I really enjoy those flavors (CLS is one of my all time favorites) the real reason I recommend those two is because in reading this forum, I see VERY few people who do not like them ..chances are pretty good you will too.

Giant Vapes is a good place to shop. The customer service is fab, shipping is fast, and variety is huge. They do tend to run mostly "boutique" juices tough, and along with them "boutique" prices.

Another I would try is Ahlusion. I have tried nearly all of their flavors and there have only been three I just did not like. I suggest pretty much any of their fruit flavors, especially Mango Lassi. I always buy 30 mL bottles from them: it's a pretty decent savings to do so especially given the fact that I am almost guaranteed to like the flavor well enough to at least vape it all. Just be aware that their teas and tobaccos can take some steep time.

OH..one more..Goodlife. They can be a little more hit or miss, but most people I know like Deadly Sin very much. You can't go wrong with their 10 mL 4 pack sampler either. It'll run you about $20 with shipping if you use the coupon code VAPETV for 10% off. From them I really enjoy Nana's Nuts, White Zenberry, Deadly Sin, Yoplait Parlay, and Deadly Sin. There are other good ones too. I DID NOT like their chocolate orange one though, but tastes vary!

Hope that's been at least a little help for you!

Hmmm, I see two ways to go. 1) try some of the higher end juices to see what you like. 2) start doing DIY. Six of one. If you think you'll have more money in the future, number 1 might be the better option. If money is perpetually in doubt, I'd do 2.

For one, I'd say Ahlusion (at 30ml) or possibly a sampler or two from Virgin Vapor, if you haven't tried them. Some people don't like VV, but I haven't had anything that wasn't at least spot on to the description. Same with Ahlusion. But then I'm not usually a fan of sweet or tobacco. Although Ahlusion has the only tobacco I actually like so far, but it's nasty in a tank, which they do warn about.

For two, I'd say get half a liter of premixed nic and go a little crazy some place like ecigexpress or eliquid mart. The latter, particularly, because of the flavors they carry and they have 5ml samples for $1.69. You can get a lot of playing around room there for $60. Especially since their price on what I call 'cheater base' is really good. $17 for half a liter of 12mg is pretty good compared to premixed. And Flavor Art seems to be a very concentrated flavoring, which means 5ml will flavor a lot of juice.

Myself, the latter is what I plan on doing when I next get paid in August. Other than a few juices I already have my eye on, I'm planning on going almost pure DIY. I'd rather have the fun of making my own even if they're going to be much simpler at first. That's something I can use for the future, not just have my nic today.
