Since I'm new here I thought it would be a good idea to post this here for other noobs to this board to read, lol.

Like many of you (I suppose) I have went through lots of liquids. Some of them suggested by the smoke and vape shops, some from the web, and others from reading reviews. All in the search of finding that one liquid (or liquids, lol) that will end the search for the perfect juice.

This may end up being a long post but I will try to keep it somewhat short for those of us with short attention spans, lol, like me.

I'm not a juice authority but I do consider myself a fairly seasoned vaper, however all these liquids preferences or lack there of are only my opinion and of course yours my vary depending on taste and equipment used. I'm not looking for others to agree with me, or pats on the back, or suggesting you buy any particular liquid. I'm just posting my opinion on the limited liquids I've tried and use.

Also I still smoke (because I like it) and never vaped with any intention of quitting which from what I read is what many do. While I can understand that many of you are happy to give up tobacco for your own reasons I'm not one of them. I don't want to get into a whole discussion about quitting tobacco so keep those opinions elsewhere, I'm not interested in that and if your the grammar police please overlook my stupidity.

I use all of my liquids with a eGo-C Twist 1100mah, a H2 tank with a bottom coil or an Ijoy FAA tank-G, both tanks work very good for me. All liquids are 24 nic level.

Halo

Tribecca is my favorite and nothing even comes close to this flavor. I use this everyday and sometimes all day. I can't say enough good about it.

Turkish Tobacco, good if you like Turkish tobacco but not really a flavor for me.

Prime 15, taste like a dark cigar or maybe a heavy pipe tobacco, very smokey and harsh.

Torque 56, the closet liquid I've ever had to smoking a actual cigarette this maybe good or bad depending on your taste. Its not really for me because I like a sweeter liquid, however in the absence of a cigarette I would use this one.

Longhorn, all I know about this liquid is it smells incredibly nasty like cat piss or maybe cow piss (probably why its called longhorn, lol) its smells so bad there was no way I was gonna even consider filling a tank with it. Dumped it right down the drain.

Midnight Apple, tastes like a green apple a strong one for sure. Lots of flavor if you like green apple but not for me. It just didn't appeal to me. (peel, get it??)

Freedom Juice, very dry tobacco is the only way I can explain it. Tastes like you left your pack of smokes open for a few weeks and then you try to smoke that dried out cigarette, not very good.

Fusion, an unflavored liquid that can be ordered in many different nic levels. Most use it for mixing with other flavors or to bring up or down nic levels. I used it to change the overpowering flavor of some other brands to see if I could vape them instead of dumping them out. It works well for what it is and will probably work well for those mixing their own liquids and looking for a premium base to start with.

Johnson Creek

JC Original, really a great flavor (JC's RY4) I like this one a lot and use it often it's even better mixed with a small amount of JC's Red Oak Vanda to increase the vanilla flavor.

Red Oak Tennessee Cured, a very nice tobacco flavor, unique and very good.

Tennessee Cured, its good but the Red Oak version is so much better.

Klin House Gold Reserve, outstanding flavor, a honey tobacco with a nice orange aftertaste, just delicious and nice treat for something different.

French Vanilla, not bad and probably good for those only looking for a light vanilla flavor. I found it a bit underwhelming.

Red Oak Vanda, a very strong custard vanilla. I prefer it mixed with JC Original or Red Oak Tennessee Cured. It's quite strong to vape it straight but it may be perfect for you.

Black Cherry, not bad but I could hardly taste anything. I wanted to like it but I just can't taste the black cherry.

Red Oak Rainer, a very nice sweet cherry, you will defiantly taste the cherry and it's not a gross medicine taste but it is very sweet.

Red Oak Domestic, taste like a overpowering pipe tobacco. Way to strong for me. I just didn't like it, yuk.

Criss Cross

Tobacco Regular, disgusting.

Vanilla, taste nothing like vanilla, disgusting.

NJoy (this was just released recently as a bottled e liquid)

Classic Tobacco, ok but not good. I was pretty much disappointed with this one.

Vanilla Bean, its a very strong spiced vanilla flavor, gross.

Mister E Liquid

RY4, smelled and tasted great in the store (tasting sample), when I got it home I was unimpressed with the mixture they prepared. Maybe it needs to be steeped I thought. I waited a few weeks, nope still the same. Very underwhelming.

Puff (China and now USA made)

Tobacco, Cherry, Berry, and Vanilla all disgusting.

Tsunami (China made)

Tobacco, Cherry, Kiss on the Lips, Vanilla, Berry, all pretty good flavors if you don't know about better USA made liquids.

Deezer (China made)

Cherry, taste like medicine, gross.

Next I will be trying Suicide Bunny Mothers Milk and OB and maybe Space Jam liquids.

lol HALO Longhorn

Smelled like potpourri. Let steep for several days, still smelled like potpourri, filled the tank anyway. Tasted like potpourri/perfume, had girlfriend taste it, she about gagged. Worst tasting eliquid Ive tried by far. Threw it out that day. Didnt want to take a chance even accidentally experiencing that horrible taste ever again.

dsheik, lol glad I'm not the only one. So many people rave about that flavor, but it's so hard to believe people actually like it, but everyone has their own taste, even bad taste.

Ive tried many juices that I didnt care for but that Longhorn was absolutely horrible. I have no idea what flavor people think they're tasting that like it.

I've gone through a lot of different juices, finding only a few I really like. When I first started vaping, I enjoyed some eliquids that are tobacco flavored. My two favorite are from Ahlusion, "Shipwreck" and "Smooth Criminal". I don't really care for tobacco flavors anymore. Lately, I'm enjoying these juices I picked up from Giant Vapes:
  1. The Steam Factory Kizmet (#1 juice ever)
  2. Space Jam Astro
  3. G2 Vapor Blue Pop Shock
  4. The Steam Factory Screwberry
I quit smoking after vaping for about six months, with absolutely no desire to quit tobacco. The reason is because after switching to rebuildables and more advanced devices, smoking cigarettes didn't even compare! Vaping actually satisfies me way more, and I don't crave cigarettes at all.

I agree with the Longhorn flavor and didnt like it very much.
i only have a top two even though i've tried quite a bit of juices.
1.Tribeca by Halo (this is simply the best juice imo)
2.Sex on the Beach by Starbuzz (awesome flavor in carts or tanks) :vapor:

I'll have to try some of your recommendations. BTW I am also a former analog smoker. been free of death sticks since April. (it took a while to adjust but i'm happy)

Things get buried here in the New Members forum because every new person needs to post at least five times to be able to move up into the rest of the forum, and they mostly start (like I did) by starting a new thread.

And there is no grammar police here. Even I (an English minor and a transcriptionist by trade) make mystakes (pun intended) and have no need for anyone correcting my grammar, and will not correct others. I have NEVER seen that on this site. We're mostly a friendly bunch.

Sorry, my humor is a little dry. But anyway, I appreciate your take on the flavors you've tried. :) You have some nice juices in your collection!

Great, now these are the responses I was looking forward to as I was quite sure most if not all of us have tried many juices just to end up throwing them away. It would be great if vendors could sell a much smaller sample bottle say about 1.5ml just so we can have a taste of it because even a $4 or $5 I just end up dumping unwanted juice out.

I know many of you will say why not give it to someone else?? Lol, I have and the other vapers I know usually find it just as nasty as I do and want nothing to do with it also. When I first bought Halo I tried the tobacco sample pack, it was about $24 but in reality that $24 only bought me one flavor I really liked. Now sure I was able to try the other flavors, that was the idea, but I just ended up with a bunch of bottles I didn't want. I don't know about you but I'm not about to buy someone's open juice bottles, (that should be common sense), so I wouldn't be looking to sell them either.
