the suppliers themselves have a minimum of activity they have to maintain in order to keep their sub forums... I think the supplier has to post a min of 12 posts per month...if they do not maintain this they get removed and a new supplier can come on board...took us 1 year to get a spot :p

IMHO Some of it has to do with popularity and some has to do with how interactive they are with the forum....

i know that S I is very active compared to a lot of them.

i am here because i love the products and can depend on you good folks to help me if i need it,,plus i like all the posters on here.

i am on a cheap juice hunt,that is why i am looking at other forum suppliers,,i have found and that is blue mist,but i did not like the 3 juices that i got from them in july.

i also did not like the 5 small samples i got from gotvapes.

i do like the 555,and ry4 from S I but am looking for some thing cheaper and in large volume such as 120 mil. plus.

i have been snowed/iced in for as long as 6 wks. and want to be sure i am well supplied,like i do with my food and water and live stock feed.

SI/Imagine has created a community on ecf. It is much more interactive than most I've perused. The only way to create a community here is to participate with the people posting on their thread.

A juice supplier that has very low prices and large sizes in ecblend. I have a few flavors that I order from them but I will say I have ordered some I didn't like so much. You can do a lot of customization on their site like sweeteners, menthol, enhanced and double extra flavor. My 2 personal favorites of theirs are Vanilla Malt and Fruit Smoothie.

Check out vapedudes. They don't sell in large bottles over 30ml, but they have an awesome deal for a free bottle and a great 40% off coupon.

They seem to be really nice and accommodating. Try contacting them and asking if you can order 60-120ml bottles.

They even will refund/exchange if you don't like a juice you get from them

What I had to do with Blue Mist juice is steep and air them. I did the hot water method shaking them when I went by. I use the 100% vg from there. If it is perfumey, I let the bottles air over night. I squeezed them too to get more air in. The cherry ice flavor I am addicted too.

I am far from an expert though and only a month or so in. Hope it helps you.

i understand what you mean about the perfumy ,i did sorta what you said to do and it made a difference.

Is that ice a menthol ? I hate menthol,,but like mint candy or mint basils and herbs.

My taste buds are still messed up from smoking so long. I basically think all juice from the same vendor tastes the same. I got 5 samples from Heathers of their tobacco flavors and they all taste similar. I smoked marbolos for 10 years swithed to salem lights menthol to quit then smoked them for 20.

To me the ice isn,t a mentol but a fresh exhale at the end. The air thing did wonders to it. I know people said you don,t have too steep the fruits but I did anyway. Blue Mist definitely has some great deals in his clearance section. What I have found is taste is very subjective.

I used to worry that I should find a liquid supplier to use that sold for less, then I figured out that the difference would be mere pennies per refill, so I just stick with what I know is good tasting, good quality liquid, that is easy on my equipment.
I agree, considering what I paid for analogs, a few bucks more for a bottle of juice I love is worth it especially when you consider how many refills you get out of a bottle. Even with "expensive" juices I'm saving a bundle.

I got the free sample from vapedudes, pumpkin spice. Not much flavor to it, got the extra flavor and 24mg nic, still not impressed. It's been sitting for about a week and still no change. They probably don't exchange freebies, but that's ok, I'd be willing to try another flavor. I notice in your vids you seem to use them quite a bit. SI juice is awesome right out of the bottle, but that's because its already been mixed for a while. Do you know of another reputable company that offers juice I won't have to let steep before I use it?

i have been killing time and staying cool in the house,by looking at forum supplers,,,but looking at their forums first.

what i have noticed so far that alot of them have very little activity if any at all.

i wonder if this reflects their products and service ?

I mentioned a while back in Chit Chat I think that this is one of the busiest supplier forums. It's always in the top five or so for people 'viewing'.

Imagine that's amazing that SI had to wait that long to get a spot on here. Have you any idea how long the queue is for spots? I can only think as this is a relatively new business that that list will grow.

Also talking about juice. When I first started vaping I had no idea what steeping was. There didn't seem to be any information regarding steeping on the various juice sites. Maybe the juice vendors should actually recommend a steeping time in the juice description and also mark the date that it was bottled. SI juice is good to go thankfully. If it needed steeping I would not have known and thought it was a bad flavour.

not sure how many are on the list... I do know that they have a rule that only 80 suppliers are allowed to have subforms at one time....and the only way for someone to be removed is to not meet participation requirements or to be asked to be removed... or fail to pay their subscription fee (which is very minimal).

So technically if all 80 are meeting all those things...new suppliers could wait forever :( .... we were told waiting time is about 1-1 1/2 years... you are able to move up the list with high participation... participating with advertising...and making sure to follow all the rules. For the most part after the top 15 or so...they are in order of when they got their subforums.... the first 15ish we around before there were subforums.

I know theres lots out there, I just haven't had luck. A lot of people seem to like ecblends, I tried several of them and didn't like any. I pretty much stick with Vapedudes, smokeless image ice menthol and watermelon and DIY. I am playing more and more with DIY and hope that by the time most of my other stash is gone, I will have perfected my own flavors. The more I vape, the more I find that I am using the same 1 or 2 flavors all day and just using my desert flavors for a treat t night.

Nitelitevapor sells their 130ml juig for $40, 30ml for $10. Only thing you can only order a couple times each month so you have to plan ahead and follow their section on ecf.

Johnson Creek and Mountain Oak Vapors do not require steeping. I'm not saying steeping won't alter the taste, but they are quite vapeable right off the bat, IMO.

Vermillion River's liquids do not require steeping, either, and, IMHO, they are one of the best suppliers out there. Abso excellent CS, super fast shipping, and dependable quality. They don't release a new flavor until it's been beta tested by customers. Not a dud in the line-up. They are also up-front about the (few) liquids that don't do well in cartos.

That's what I'm talking about, "right outta the bottle" vaping. I love that about SI juice. The only reason I'm looking else where is in hopes of getting my wife off of the sticks for good. She is using both right now, God bless her heart, she's trying, but if she could find one she LOVES it could make all the difference. Unfortunately she just hasn't found it with SI (no fault of theirs). You guys have no idea how important this is to me or how much it means that you take the time to reply. I appreciate all of you so much. I know I am relatively knew to the forums, but I feel right at home. Thank you.

I have some fron Heathers Heavenly Vapes. I use the 6 or 8 nic because I like to read and vap for 15 to 30 min periods. It was ready to go when I got it. It is 30/70 pg/ vg. It was very flavorful..a little too much for me. I think the pg doesn't agree with me. It was good with the tobacco flavors but I will try them latter.

I get vape mail every other day or so. Mainly trying to find what I like. My wife yesterday said the she said she knows she would pay any amount for me to stop smoking, bur there has been a ton of mail. I told her I am about 30 bucks over from what I wouls normally spend on smokes just that I never got those in the mail. I going to have another order from SI this week. I want a stick that I can vap on without any hands. I thought a 650 x2 may do it, but it is a bit heavy and also I want a 1300 x2.

For me its been a trial to find the juice. The hardware though I have the vendor. I wish SI had some vg juice, but I tell my clients do what your good at then venture out.when you are established. Too many of my clients didn't listen and became to diverse too fast.

Sorry I always go off on tangents.
