Flavor Suggestions & Choosing a Vendor

[dotma]

Lovinit, i feel your pain. I have many many MANY bottles of juice sitting around that im not too crazy about. A couple things to consider: The flavor of the juice can change with steeping and with what appliance you use them on. I had a snickerdoodle here from Ms. T's bakery that i had heard raves about and i got it and it was okay but nothing special. A month or so later i tried it on a 306 atty on my ego and it was like -- Oh my God thats awesome! That bottle is now empty, the second one half empty, and the third one on its way lol. I totally thought i would be a fruity vapes type of gal but have found out -- not really. My faves actually are gorilla juice and massive chocolate mint from Alien Visions, snickerdoodle from Ms. Ts Bakery (she has some really great, rich flavors), and Vape-A-Licious (I think also called Candy's Juices) are great. Their cinnamon pillows and hot chocolate peppermint are awesome!

This is solid advice. A Juice you like or dont like now you may change your mind on later when your tastebuds revive.

I'm still vaping the very first juice I've bought.

I've tried a ton of other juices but that's my daily vape. Don't go nuts in the beginning. Don't look to fall in love with a juce. Find one that's acceptable until you've been off cigs for awhile and your taste buds come back to life.

Hi Lovin_It,

I can't really help you, but just wanted you to know you're not alone! I am in the same boat and trying to figure out which vendor to try next! I also love Cherry, but can't find a good one to vape.

I could have bought myself a reo with all the crap juice I bought. And I liked the juice I had.

People get so caught up in the names of juice- 'strawberry shortcake' it's like the yogurts. No yogurt tastes like a piece of cake and no juice really does either. You get a hint of the flavorings. I've stopped the juice buying now. I got tired of getting disappointed, wasting money and cartos.

IMO cherry by itself it pretty bad. More like cough syrup. It's not bad if you add cherry to a juice, but cherry alone is pretty gag-worthy.

Ive found every Fruit flavor ive tried to be a terrible dissapointment.

Lots of good tips in here... thanks so much. I agree about the taste buds... at first I was loving my V2 Congress cartos, but now, not so much.

For now I'm sticking to coffee, vanilla, chocolate... and I've found that I can juice either the vanilla or coffee cartos, too, and those work out fine.

My gut tells me I'm not going to like any of the fruity flavors and some of your thoughts suggest I'm probably right about that.

I agree about the flavor names... chocolate covered cherry cheesecake batter? Lol... at some point it's more gimmick then substance.

 

[swedishfish]

I never thought I would like fruit flavors and found I actually do. My first was a small bottle of watermelon from BWB.
Seemed refreshing somehow. Everyone is different of course but I do like some sweet juices but a little goes a very long way. I can only vape them for an hour or so until I feel a little sick.

The classifieds is a good way to try juice from many vendors. Also, check out the PIF section. You can trade juice there and find something you might like.

I didn't smoke long and all I ever smoked was clove and don't really like a heavy tobacco flavor at all really. I came to this scene somewhat more easily, maybe, as a result of not having done it long or too early in life. So I am looking for the best suggestions with little or no tobacco flavor - something more just clove. And I prefer PG to VG - liking a 90/10 mix. But miss the smell. Is there something out there that has the aroma of clove along with the pure taste? Don't mean to repeat anyone, but am interested in feedback if you know of or like the same.

I am still fairly new myself, only tried 3 vendors so take this with a grain of salt.

Puresmoker.com I started out with these guys mainly because they were local to me. But i do have to say their juice is the best i have tried to date. their Menthia (menthol) is to die for. I love menthol and i can honestly tell you this will knock your socks off. However a small note, ya may wanna back off the nic level you normally vape with this stuff. It packs a hefty throat even at the lower nic levels.

i also love their meonlica, appleonia, and love love love their strawberry splash.

The Vapor Room.net | Vaporize Nicotine | E Cig Atomizers These guys are my go too juice. Excellent prices, large selection of flavors, great deals! First time customers get a free 15ml bottle. for this month that 15 becomes a 30ml! every week they have a handful of flavors you can get a 30ml for $10 and on the weeknds a 15mil at $5 just gotta watch to see which flavors are up that week. They also have a large range of nic levels and pg/vg mixes. bottom line they are great people and they have great juice.

and the last

Pink Spot Vapors: Gourmet E-liquid & Signature E-Juice Flavors I have heard so many good things about Pinkspot i had to give them a try. will have to get back to you on them as i just ordered 4 samplers.

Its a short list i know but as i said i am still very new at this. Now to be fair there are flavors in these line i did not care for but its all about personal taste. i dont like coffee vapes i.e. you may love them but no matter who makes them i find i do not care for them.

enjoy explore and vape on

BlueMist vapor has a huge selection, 250+ juices and really good prices. $5for 10ml and $10 for 30ml. They also offer sample packs so you can try a bunch. I recommend getting those so you can find what you like. They let you pick your own juices for a sample pack. They also offer extra flavor shots for .50cents more. And if you find a juice you really like you can get a 180ml bottle for $30 which is an awesome deal. You can get all their juices in 80/20 or 100% VG. They also sell DIY flavors for all their juices for if you ever decide to start making your own.
I think their a really good vendor when your just starting out and trying to find what you like. They have a lot of different types of juices and are cheap so you can try a bunch and not spend a ton of money

@ JerryB - I liked 2/6 of my Pink Spot.... I liked Chocolate Hazelnut and the Baileys & Coffee is okay. The other 4 I got I don't like yet, but I'm going to try them again... I got cola, french vanilla, Peanut butter cup & menthol.

I went to Vapor Room... good prices, but I can't figure out the sales... it doesn't say what I need to buy to qualify for the upgraded to 30ml.

@Mynameisrob... I'll check them out too. I'm more willing to buy choose your own sample packs from sites with a ton of flavors. A few sites I couldn't even find 6 I wanted to try to fill up my sample pack... lol

 

[Lovin_it]

Just saw this at Blue Mist:

Maple Bacon
We went there. Yes, we did.

LOL.... I may have to try that, just for the giggle factor.

Maple sounds interesting too! They don't have much chocolate.

I have had really good success with Copper Creek. I have been disappointed by many others. Taste is subjective, but the shipping and quality has been consistent -which I really appreciate.

 

[Jerry B]

Hey lovin It. what you do is place your order and in the comments tell them your a first time customer and would like your bottle to be...flavor/pg/vg/nic etc. they let you choose! every order also gets you a 3ml sample and they let you choose that. also look in their sub forum here on the ECF they havea weekly contest ( i won last week) where you just tell them the flavor and etc you want and everysunday night they draw a random its awesome.

 

[Jerry B]

BTW i have never tried a bacon, there are a number of vendors that sell it but everyone who has tried a bacon flavor did not like it. You can find just about any flavor, i have see clam juice, blue cheese, and other putrid type flavors.

Do the sample pack route until you find a juice that suits. Blue Mist has a good deal on sample packs: Five 10 ml bottles for $20 and you a get a flavor shot option which I use because I like strong flavors. they also have a five bottle of 3ml each for $10.00. I like their juices and they have a wide range of flavors. The Vapor Room has great juice, but are pricier, and well worth it, in my view. Sample packs are $20.00 for Five 6ml bottles. Their Hazelnut and Keoke Coffee are my all-time favorite juices. Because they are pricier I reserve their juices for the occasional treat and order 10 ml bottles.

 

[orkira]

I use Virgin Vapor juice.
My favorites are:
Cherry Vanilla Swirl (If you are turned off from cherry because it tasted like cough syrup give this one a try)
Mint Chocolate Chip
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Blueberry Bliss
Darjeeling Sweet Tea
They do sell samples to try too!

Think about flavours that you like (to eat or drink), then have a search for a juice that has the same description. Lets face it if you don't like apples you arent going to like vaping it. And when you buy sample packs there is usualyy 1 or 2 in there that you wont like.

 

[swedishfish]

I'd get a basic tobacco juice you like and you can always add a few drops of other juice or flavoring to it.

BWB has a good basic Virginia and Vapor Station has great tobacco juices. Add apple, peach, whatever you like to it.
