Driving myself crazy!!!

[BobbyDidge]

Can someone pleaseeee explain to me how you're supposed to find your favorite eliquid vendor or juice when there is a bazillion vendors out there!?!? I can literally buy from a different vendor everyday for a year and still not get to all the vendors let alone all the flavors!!! How do people find the best!? I was hoping to go on the vendor reviews forum and see a clear top winner but there are TONSSSS. HELP! lol

Lol, my answer, SPEND, SPEND, SPEND. There is no way to find your perfect juice other than to start buying samples from different vendors. I have been at this a while and I am still looking for my perfect juice. I prefer tobacco juices and so far have not found the perfect one. I have found a menthol type juice (although I'm not a menthol smoker) that I have ordered over and over and continue to go back too when I get frustrated with the juice hunt. That juice is Tikki from Halo. Also check the classifieds for cheaper options to try different juices and I would keep a log of what you have tried and who it's made by. I have found certain lines of juice made by the same vendor seem to have the same base mixes and if I hate one I normally hate all of them or if I like one, I normally like most of their line.

Well, start with some of the top vendors that you see good reviews for. Find a flavor you like to vape and have that on hand at all times for a fall back. Then start ordering samples from vendors in flavors that you might like.

Some reviewers list some of their favorite juices when they do a review, this is helpful because if you like some of the juices they like, chances are that you will like the juice they reviewed (if it was a positive review). It has helped me find some good juices at least.

I wish I had a clear answer for you but I don't! I know what I like today, and what vendors, but no telling if that will remain next month. I'm a menthol vaper, wife likes tea and coffee. We mix that up with some fruity flavors from time-to-time. I struggled with so many vendors and flavors. What I do now is watch the classifieds for a inexpensive selection of flavors we might tolerate, and in different nic levels. So far that is working, and has saved ordering from many different vendors and lots of money. I've bought 2 separate classified orders, consisting of about 50 different flavors. Has there been one that I will buy again, nope. Are they good, yep. But nothing knocking my socks off and making me bust out my CC. I got lucky early and found something stable for us. I also bought a DIY kit, but haven't even attempted mixing anything. Just don't need to do that yet. Good luck to you, finding your favorite juice and vendor is the hardest thing about vaping IMHO.

No good answer for this one, it's all trial and error. There is a whole thread here about juices for some ideas, but truth is one man's trash is another man's gold... I just followed advice here and bought a bunch of different samples sizes (3-5ml usually) of a flavor I knew I'd like. I knew I like coffee flavors from when I vaped pre-fills, so concentrated on finding my "all day vape". Once that epiphany occurs, get a good sized bottle (I buy 70ml bottles now) and then just keep an eye out for flavors that sound interesting and get the samplers. Don't be surprised if you are looking for tobacco flavors now (happens to a lot folks who are still thinking in terms of their smoking habit) and then find one day your only ordering funky flavors or fruits. I smoked Marlboros for 33 years and after 1 month of vaping never ordered another tobacco flavor again (honestly some of the cool flavors just taste better). God luck in your vision quest...

And if you want some reviewers to check out, PBasardo, Grimmgreen, Vaporchase all give pretty good reviews of different juices on youtube

Sample sizes!! Usually 5ml bottles at around 2.50 each! There are tons of vendors that you can buy from that way.

 

[Barbe]

I feel your pain, believe me. I am struggling with the same thing. I actually googled some vendors and there are reviews on youtube. However, I am in Canada, so we don't have a lot to choose from here. The first youtube review I went with, I had to throw out all the ejuice - couldn't stand it. The second one I went with is really, really good. I learned on the first one not to buy $88 worth of ejuice and regret. Buy small, even if the shipping is more than the ejuice, you will save money in the end.

 

[dysfoundation]

Best method man, go to classifieds if your verified, and buy portions of a juice lot or the whole thing. Best way to get more juice for less Buck and try some you may have never thought of trying

heck I just bought from 4 different places today...18 different flavors. I bought small sized bottles so If they are not good to me I will not have waisted a lot of money on each. I also bought a bunch of different things with different types of flavors to get a feel for many different things. I only got 2 that I recall that have a tobacco flavor though and those are gorilla juice and boba's bounty and only because those are two highly recommended flavors so I said what the hay. I am hoping out of all of the stuff I bought today I find at least one or two I will want to buy large amounts of and not have to keep doing this. My first e-juice order was all fruit and candy except for 2 which was a coffee and a menthol. Today I woke up not wanting any of the candy or fruit stuff so I went with the coffee(it is strait coffee not a cappuccino or anything)...then I got creative and mixed some banana cream with the coffee to sweeten it up and been vaping on it all day.

And after you order all of those samples & determine you don't like them (or they just weren't exactly what you were looking for), go list them on the classifieds to re-coup some of your cash. Vaping is an investment, but it's WORTH it.

E-juice is like love... when you find the right one, you'll know it, lol.

And let me just add... congrats on making it 17 days! I'm sure by now you've realized one important thing, even though you haven't found your daily vape, you've gotten past all physical & most mental cravings for analogs. You'll find the right juice, just hang in there. And be proud of yourself for making it so far! Even the worst (well, maybe not crab juice or bacon - yUcK!!) e-juice doesn't taste as bad as analogs!

 

[djwyman]

I plan too...However I am having some kind of issue with the verified deal. When I click on the paypal or ebay fourms it tells me I do not have permission to access that section.

I would say go to each popular juice vendor on ECF and find out the fav flavors. Ms T has a thread on that, I love strawberry shortcake and cake batter and frostings and chocolate brownies from Ms T's. Halo has great tobacco flavors, Captain Jack is my favorite. Boba's Bounty is a real fav everyone agrees on that one. Bounty Hunter from Nite Lite Vape another fav. Copper Creek has good ones, Backwoods Brew too. Try the top sellers in small amounts and pic your favs. I am sure there are others I haven't tried yet too. bnrk

Yea don't have the physical or mental cravings really anymore but I have this tight chest I never had with analogs so I'm a little worried! I also thought I'd notice a difference in my breathing or lung capacity but nope :/ it's the same

Thanks! That makes it a little easier! As for looking at ecf vendor reviews, there's still like 50 vendors! I wish there was only 5 and I'm usually all about more is better lol

And the weird thing is it's mainly the VG that gives me the tight chest. PG hasn't don't that to me. But neither make me breathe better lol

 

[enchantedwonder]

It's quite the problem. I think... and I'm pretty new. I am trying to resolve myself to the fact that I'm not going to find a juice that is a cigarette...... I like Dekang Tobacco, and Turkish Tobacco, and Backwoods Brew Tobacco flavors....

Hey BobbyDidge,

You just have try, try, and try some more. Sample Packs or a variety of the small bottles is the way to go. Taste in juice is subjective so you just have to try to see what fits you, but trying juices from the recommended sites is the best way to start.

Where in Jersey are you?

 

[DKS-1]

Night. . . . . . Lite. . . . . . . . Vapor

Super great customer service, great liquids, fast shipping. Only problem is that there are times the site is shut down due to overload of orders when Bounty Hunter is available (that should tell you something right there)

Why don't you try ordering from the forum vendors.They have all been checked out.Forum .Suppliers List I personally like .The Vapor Room.net | Vaporize Nicotine | E Cig Atomizers

Finding the "perfect juice" is like finding the holy grail. Forget it. Just buy lots of samples and stuff on the classified. Keep an eye out for deals, especially from new vendors. Recently, a vendor was selling 10ml bottles for $0.99. You can't make it yourself that cheap. I gave up the hunt after a year and started mixing my own. It's no better than what I was buying, and not as good as most, but it's usually passable, sometimes good and always CHEAP. Now I buy juice now and then just for curiosity's sake and if it's no good, it doesn't matter. I'll just go back to my own juice.
