I didn't read throught the whole thread, but to the OP, if you want a really good grape, the best one I have found so far is Organic Grape from vapegonewild. I can't even explain how much it tastes like grape. I usually only buy 10ml because I easily get sick of flavors but that is one we seem to go back to every time.

How about if you star buying sample boxes, like they send you 5 or 6 e-juices monthly, I can remember having the same problem, I live in Tijuana and cant buy my .... other than mail orders or the 2 local vape shops, the really good thing is that one of the shops give you flavor testing before you actually buy something, I had this experience were I taste one good flavor but in my vape it taste horrible, so Im guessing here, maybe is your Vape equipment and not the flavors, also in my experience I find some flavor that I didn't like at first really tasty with alcohol, coffee or different drinks, Arizona works wonders with some flavor, like watermelon. Hope you will find you perfect e-juice cheers from Tijuana.
I understand you OP, were I live people look wierdly at ecigs, heck! maybe I'm the only one using them! There's absolutely no vape shops. I made an order from VirginVapor and at first I was resilient on trying most of what I ordered, they'd all smell funky, but after a week of arguing with myself, I tried them... Boy what wonderful flavors I got!
I didn't read this whole thread, but some juices are really bad. Lots of times its reflected in the price. 5 pawns can charge nearly $1 per ml because its amazing juice. You can get a 50ml bottle for $12 from vape dojo, but all their juice is crap. I bought one of their sample packs, tried the apple pie and felt the most horrible burning sensation in my nose. Their vanilla custard is *ok* flavor, but still has a harshness to it. No idea what they put in their juice.
If nobody said, definitely try some high end POPULAR juices like 5 pawns and suicide bunny. There are lots of good juice companies. Try out Neckbeards Juice (nectar or vanilla spice), long beach juice supply has some good juice, so does "drip" juice which is made mainly for dripping as they are 80%+ VG.
I personally judge a juice by the smoothness. Even a 50/50 blend can be smooth as silk (5 pawns). And by layered flavors. A good juice will have multiple flavor notes, where a bad juice will be very bland and flavorless.
There is a lot of personal preference of course. Just like with food. You may love a specific pizzeria while your neighbor despises it.

Almost everything I have right now is bunk, mail can't get here fast enough. I bought a 10 pack sampler from a online vendor that all but 1 flavor sucked just 2 weeks ago and its what Im forced to vape right now until the mail gets here with my incoming juice.
Every e juice I buy tastes gross after about a half a day. Even the best most expensive juice. I'm done with flavoring. VG only here. Maybe some menthol crystals.

All I can say is, does the B&M have a testing bar? Take some time if they do to try a bunch (bring some seltzer water after awhile they'll start to blend).
A couple things to keep in mind, as far as recommendations here, taste is subjective, so "Brand X is good" could mean nothing to you. And if you go to a B&M, their testing bar is probably 0mg nicotine, and I've been told the flavor can be slightly different with nicotine. So, you may have loved it in the store, but it might not taste quite right at home.

Taste is so subjective, it's difficult to recommend anything but I can say that it took me about 2 months and a LOT of frustration to find juice that worked for me, basically because I was clueless enough to listen to "popular" recommendations. What works for some people or even a lot of people (who post here anyway) may not work for you. *shrug*
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of juice vendors out there. A lot depends on your budget, whether you can afford to buy a juice and let it sit a few weeks or need something to vape right away, your equipment, and of course your preferences! Do you like sweets? Or not sweet? Coffee or tea? A certain spice, candy, cookie or fruit? Are you really missing a tobacco or menthol/mint flavor, or does that smell and taste nasty to you now?

Not everyone has a local vape shop. Nor are some of them very well-kept. I've seen a few in my travels that made me want a shower after walking in, not somewhere I'd buy stuff I'm going to put in my mouth and inhale.
That said, if you're lucky enough to have a good or even mediocre one close by, it is the easiest way to figure out what works.
Well, I can say this much. Here in chicago we have a few REAL vape shops that are 100% about vaping and have a juice bar to sample. These places carry high end mechs, to low end starter kits. There are about 3 or 4 of these shops in chicago alone.
Aside from that, we have probably 50+ head shops that specialize in glass for other types of smoking, but have a small selection of vape gear. They usually carry some type of ego style clone startup kit, disposable clearomizers, etc. All overpriced as well. And of course juice. All terrible juice.
There is a reason why juices like 5 pawns and suicide bunny are so popular. Because they are great juices. If you are not lucky enough to have a vape shop near you with juice samples on tap, then maybe check out this site. Giant vapes. I have no affiliation with them, but can vouch for them as when I order juice online, I go here. Check out the reviews, check out the categories. The saying you get what you pay for holds true with juice. I promise that.
Welcome to Giant Vapes
These guys have a very good selection of juice. But most importantly, read the description of the flavor, and then read the reviews. If 10 people all say this juice rocks, and the flavor profile sounds good to you, chances are you will like it.
Good luck.

Fasttech do have a lot e-juices, I just ordered from 3 different labels the same flavor and lets see which one I will like the most and I did 10ml bottles if it's available, they not even 2 dollar for each bottle, this way I can make my own sample package.
They have Dekang, Hangsen, V2, T2 and some more labels and also unflavored VG or PG for dilute, T2 is more expensive but it comes within a glass bottle with dripper/pipette.

Never bin a bottle... give it some time first or mix it with caramel or menthol.

Sign up for zamplebox. I am also new to vaping but considering the costs of most premixed juices you cant beat this deal. For 30.00 a month, you get between 60-90ml of juice from 20different companies. I received my first box a few days ago. I ended up with over 100ml, 6 different flavors, and liked them all except one. The thirty bucks includes the cost of shipping. Its a great way to try multiple flavors from multiple makers for a more than reasonable price. Hang in there and stay strong. Once you find something you like, leaving cigarettes alone will become easier and easier. Good luck to you
I was where you are about 3 years ago. I spent a small fortune on juices back then but none of them were what I wanted. I decided to start doctoring up my bad juices. Some I diluted that were too strong and others I added some extra flavoring to. I always have on hand a few flavors that I use. Sweet cream, ethyl maltol for sweetening, vanilla and fruits, also always extra plain pg or vg to dilute. It will depend on your flavor profile. If you don't like sweet get some tart and sour from Lorann. Sometimes just a couple drops can make a big difference. I like to experiment and now I am pretty much diy all the way. Don't give up.
Yeah def had lots of dissapointments... heard nothing but great things about "seducejuice" and ordered about 10 small bottles to try all have been aweful.. especially everyones fav snake oil?? yuk.. i mean the flavors def taste fresh but they all have a bad aftertaste like cream...or something.. also tried fuzionvapor and their juice was good but kinda watery...
