I ordered 24 samples from delightfulvapor.com and after trying 6 I have a massive headache. So much perfume smell and taste its unvapable. I'm new and need something I can vape now not in two weeks. I have the tops off all the samples but I need a vendor who sells juice that I can vape now. I ordered an ego but I'm still buying Blu cartos. They don't have that taste. HELP!

I wouldn't call that a fail. Most juices need to steep, plain and simple. Take the caps off those bottles and let them sit for a couple of days. Then, pop the caps back on and let them sit for another day or two shaking regularly. Since they are sample size, they should be ready fairly quickly. You've got to get yourself ahead of the steep. Go ahead and place your next order of juice. While your vaping your first order, the 2nd will have time to steep. I order my all day vape (Legend) 4 bottles (120ml) at a time. when I get down to 2 bottle remaining, I place another order. I never have to vape unsteeped juice that way.

I just got an order from My Vapor Store and though it was stated that the juices need to steep for a few days I just couldn't wait. Every one I've tried has been terrific from the beginning. I can only imagine how much better they're going to get with time. Their prices are reasonable and shipping was lightning fast! (partly because they're so close to me I'm sure). Give them a try, I think you'll be happy.

Ok, fair enough. Maybe fail was a bit harsh. I guess I'm eager to find a juice I like. I want something I can dump in my CE4 and enjoy as much as I enjoy the Blu cherry crush. I even considered spinning the juice out of my blu cartos and putting them in my CE4 but that would be silly. I like vaping and haven't smoked an analog since I bought my first disposable blu but I'm starting to feel like the whole thing is a bit of a pain in the ..... I don't have time nor do I want another hobby. I want to get through the learning curve, find what works for me and do it. Guess I'm just getting frustrated. I'm open to more presteeped vendor suggestions if anyone has them. Is getting presteeped juice luck of the draw or do some vendors make it a point to presteep their juices? I can see buying a juice and one order being fresh and the next order coming from the bottom of the batch and have naturally steeped on its own. Hope that makes sence. It there a vendor that actually steeps their juice till its ready before they sell it.

I see your in Virginia Joelle. I'm in northern Va. Have you found a brick and mortar store in Va yet? I see there a few near Baltimore and I'm temped to make the drive to check them out but haven't yet.

I started with Blu, as well. The cherry crush is definitely a good one. I also loved their vanilla better than any.

Have you tried Johnson's creek Red Oak line Ranier? JC does make Blu flavors, though proprietary for Blu. But, I've heard Ranier is close to the same as the Blu. You can use your Blu cartomizers on other 510 batteries. I use mine on my Egos.

About the massive headache. You do know that Blu only uses PG free juice, right? PG does give some people terrible headaches. PG can also cause a lot of other symptoms for people who are sensitive to it. So, if the juice you ordered has PG in it, that can be problematic for you. Also, too high of a nic level can cause headache. I happen to be very sensitive to PG, myself. I can tell you there are some vendors who make some great PG free juice and a lot don't. Let me know if you would like some recommendations of vendors who do mix tasty PG free juice.

Johnson Creek does make the juice for Blu, but they do not distribute the cherry crush flavor. It is made only for Blu. I started with Blu too and searched the world over for a flavor comparable to cherry crush. I'm convinced its not out there. I spent several months and who knows how much money searching. I finally gave up.

It is soooo good. The menthol is good also. I read a thread the other day thats says JC has a new cherry thats close to cherry crush but IDK how true that is. I might give it a try. Im finding my blu cartos are lasting a bit longer on my ego. More efficient i guess. Ill keep the crush handy while i try new flavors and vendors. Im going to try the nicquid from altsmoke and see what i think. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Im going to go down the list and see where I end up.

I was wondering if this might be my problem. Does JC make any other PG free juice? What about the Red oak? Im open to suggestions. I think I may order some PG free and see how it sits.

Everything in their Red Oak line is PG free.
Other PG free juice vendors are:
Heather's Heavenly Vapes - Purity line
Velvet Cloud Vapor
Virgin Vapor
Vaping Zone - 100% VG line
ECBlends - Organic & Natural line
Alien Visions - VG line of juices

Many other vendors as well as some of the above also offer what they call 100% VG, but there is PG in the flavoring only. You might very well be able to use low amounts of PG. If you can, then you might try Mtbakervapor.com as well as the ones above in their alternate lines.

Also, most single flavor juices should be pretty good right out of the mailbox. It's the complex flavored juices that usually need some steeping time. From a couple days to a couple weeks.

If you like menthol and fruit, I would suggest giving the Southern Freeze a shot. I am mad crazy in love with that stuff. It's a frosty strawberry and peach.

As stated earlier, you'll have to start a juice rotation of sorts where you are vaping a set of juice while your next set is steeping. It's tough in the beginning, but once you find your favs or daily vapes, then you can just order large bottles. Also some juice vendors can take up to 2 weeks to ship something out, then you add in your steep times, and it'll be a month from the time you order before you find certain flavors to be good enough to vape which is something to keep in mind. Of course you can drip some juice as they are steeping to see if they are ready or good enough for your palette.

When I first started, I bought juice from Vaper Venue called Monkey Cream and Monkey Buns that was great for me since they shipped fast, and the juice was good as soon as I got it. Other juices that I found were good right out of the mail were AiV's Crunkberry and A Quiet Morning, AVE's Bobas Bounty (at least to me), and a couple fruity menthol/ice vapes from Mount Baker Vapor. However, I will say some of my fav juices are ones that I showed some patience with like HHV and Ahlusion.

Is this really why some of my juices taste like garbage?? I just got a bottle of green apple the other day, and it tastes like a cross between spearmint and a pineapple. The vapor smells like faint Windex. About the only flavor that is usually right on the money is Orange Cream bar/Orange Sherbet. Even my Sweet Tart is off somewhat.

That possibly sounds like alcohol used in the flavoring base. It will disappear with steeping. Eventually. Hopefully.

When I find a vendor with "issues" like that two points:

I know what I'm getting into. So if I decide to order from them again I have to allow time (in one case - weeks) for that alcohol to evaporate out of the liquid. I'm usually disinclined to reorder from those places.

This is why you do not order a bazillion $$$ samples from any place you have never tried before. Because the chances are if the first couple bottles you try out taste like YARK! to you the other 22 waiting in line are going to be a similar experience. Always stick to small - 6 or less - sample orders when trying out a new place. Reviews will only carry you so far and what 90% of the populace loves, well there's that other 10% wondering what they heck they are talking about.
