E-juice/flavourings

[Johnny2puffs]

This part of the forum should be called Jo and Johnny's forum. We don't have to PM each other. Just post here and know that nobody will read them but us. So here goes Jo:
Those 17 samples you sent me:
The Choc Menthol was good for 3 vapes then made me feel ill. Dumped it.
The Wintergreen was a bit better but smells and tastes just like, well, wintergreen cream. Can be salvaged with a mix.
The USA RED and Virginia both taste the same. Like tobacco. Not great but can be salvaged with a mix with menthol.
The plain Menthol was OK but at 6 to 10 mg just does not give a TH. Can be mixed with higher mg.
The Smooth Menthol is your own mix and is good for occasional vaping. It REALLY has a smooth taste but a bit overpowering. So after a meal it is good.
The Menthol Spear is also good for full time vaping.
So Jo, is this your assumption as well?
If an eliquid tastes bad, then just add menthol crystals to it.

Yes Johnny, I vape my Minthol spear the hole day, I do vary it with a lemon and lime or banana to give the taste buds a rest, but those other samples like you have caled them all come from venders, both nationaly and internationaly.... I know I can do better than any of them, if I have the time.... But the DIY mixing does take up alot of time.

I agree Jo. Contamination in the atty/carto is the big problem. Plus the type of atty/carto, plus the voltage also plays a part in the taste.
Our biggest prob here is that it does not pay to import small quantities to taste. So to make it worthwhile we import 100ml and it turns out like cr@p.
Gone through a stack of flavors now. MV 5 star rating liquid like Candy Cane and Minthol that I ordered was also cr@p.
I always revert back to saliquid.co.za and order their Menthol 16mg. Then I add some menthol crystals to it. Cheapest local stuff and is vaperable. Might add some VG to it if I can find some.

Haha... there's life in this forum? Last time I lurked around here it was.... well only me.

You like cheap juice? You like mentol Dude, the only place you need to order from is Rawr Vapor: Rawr Vapor: Home page
Mike charges $8 on international shipping. His juices are crazy and the best part is he has an add mentol option.
Go there, buy it, love it and come back her and thank me for showing you the light.

I import all my mods and juices and for juice: THIS IS WHERE YOU GO!

 

[Johnny2puffs]

No ways am I ordering juice from overseas. They just get confiscated by customs. Where have you been? Some local sellers have stopped importing and are selling off all their juice at a discount. One seller had a consignment of R50K confiscated.

 

[RevTrip7]

Well it's because he's ordered juice to the price of R50K with intent to resell it. Any idea what that box would look like? Of course it's going to be checked. When I order it's obviously just for myself. My packages say "Bottles: Lotion" on them and they get here 10 days after I ordered them which is faster than SA standard post from GP to the Cape

Kick your OCD dude. Even with the shipping costs it's way cheaper for e liquids from the USA and you just get soooooo much better.

So whats your favourite juice. I have tried many flavours and keep going back to Menthol.
