There's no substitute for sampling. When you ask a question like this all you're getting is everyone else's favorites, and what they like or dislike may have nothing to do with what you like or dislike.

Oh and, take the Spinfuel recommendation with a grain of salt. Vendors pay to be reviewed there.
 
I'm pretty much hooked on spearmint and I was using vaporbomb exclusively for the longest time since they had a great product. However, I recently tried Mt Baker Vapor and I found that they have a great spearmint for about half the price of vaporbomb and their shipping is SUPER fast and also about half the cost. An added bonus is I can order parts from Mt Baker where as vaporbomb only sold liquids.

I have the same problem also, flavors seem very weak to me in comparison to what other vapers talk about. I find I taste things better on exhale, when flavors pass the back of my tongue. I've noticed that VG-heavy juices with more vapor tends to be more flavorful for me, since it seems to linger more in that area and just "hang" better. Also, flavors that are meant to mimic more sugary desserts are more detectable than, say, fruity flavors. But that's just me. Hope you find something you like!

so.. VG better than PG?

Yeah, I agree with BShan, it's a loaded question. That's why I made a point to say it was just me as not to get torched, lol.

I've wondered if there's a correlation with taste detection and whether people like spicy or salty food (I fall into both those categories).

I started making my own juice (which I'm finding is hard to do at the level of the high-quality, really good juices on the market) so that I could add all the flavor I wanted. I tasted it better (and I pile on the VG because I like vapor), but like I said, the top juice makers know things that I don't, and I'm forced to buy extracts (as opposed to making my own), which often taste very artificial to me, so the juices I made were pretty disappointing. At least so far.

I think you'll just need to start ordering sample packs and try and hit one you can really taste. Best of luck!

THANKS for posting this! Mt Baker is next up on my order list and I'm a fan of mints, so I may have to add spearmint to the bucket.

FYI, being able to throw in a few parts with a good juice order helped my decision making, too.

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie. Just got my egoC kit last week and have left the real thing entirely. Yay me! However, I hope someone can really help point me to the right direction on where's the best place to stock up on liquids. The best place to get plenty of fab flavors please instead of just 1 or 2 "signature" ones. Wanted to try out Ahlusion but they don't accept newbies at the moment. Prefer VG. Help me please :)
did anyone mention Johnson Creek? They have come great little samplers and safer than some.

If you REALLY like it minty Mt Baker gives you the option of adding extra flavor shots to your juice. I added one to my most recent order...I'm thinking of adding two on the next but I don't want to over do it.

I use ECblendflavors.com

They have great flavors & very cheap prices

Second That- but be sure to get extra flavor shots...EC Blends regular is light on flavor without extra shots... and some time steeping because it is made 'fresh'. They sell alot of juice.

I DIY now, but Mt Baker is my favorite ejuice vendor now..recommend Butterscotch and Maple Pecan..YUM !

Hi Nadja, HHV does have a sampler pack to try out different flavors. As you're going toward the fruit flavors, cinful pear, bah-in, jiggy, and crackberry are highly rated. I'd also recommend Serendipity (vanilla, coffee, cocoa notes), Shadow, (powdered doughnuts developing into a vanilla hazelnut, and Blade (vanilla with mint). They can all be 100% VG if you prefer. 100% VG will create a lot of vapor, is slightly sweet comparative to PG and is very handy for those who find they have an allergy to PG. I've never had any problems vaping HHV's 100% VG in clearos. Another small piece of advice for those who arent getting the flavours too well - sometimes you have to let the bottle steep, by shaking and removing the cap, repeat for a couple of days, and then leave it for a week or more. By all means test them whenever you like, but don't throw them out till they've had a chance to mature. Then you can make a good decision on whether they developed into something you enjoy. Sometimes juice is like wine and needs that maturing time - though thankfully for most of them, - not nearly as long as the former!
