I'm not a fan, but MountBakerVapor is probably the most-recommended juice vendor here, so I don't think it's reasonable to doubt their ability to make decent juice at low prices!

I've only paid near $1/ml a couple times - and while I can UNDERSTAND people loving those juices (they were mostly highly recommended for tobacco flavors) - I did not. They were complex, but just not for me.

And at the other end of the spectrum, I threw some juice on an order thinking, "what the heck, it's SO cheap I'll just try it".
I was VERY surprised that I liked it, it's now in my "always keep in stock" list.
Price (even lower now that I order a larger bottle) = $0.18/ml, free shipping.

The problem with the cheaper vendors, as with MBV, is that you may need to buy 2 to 3 times as many flavors to find decent ones or ones you like, so how much are we really saving by buying cheap? Personally, I might get a single bottle of something vapable out of a multiple bottle order, and I've heard this from many other vapers here. I've seen numbers as high as 1 out of 10 MBV flavors they liked.
$15-$17 for a 30ml bottle is very reasonable price, compared to B&M prices, and at that price point, you can have Ahlusions, HHV, Moon Mountain, or a plethora of quality juices.
Also, while taste is subjective, quality is not. For example, EVO dark chocolate tastes just like dark chocolate, without the steeping, without the chemically taste, or alcohol flavor. It's a quality juice, just like Halo Belgian Cocoa. However, I personally dont care for chocolate vapes, yuck, but they ARE well made, just not my cup of tea.
There's a reason MBV and the like are so "inexpensive".

All flavors are your personal preference. No matter where you buy from, there will be fans and haters. I'm sure someone will chime in on why you should buy from the following places.

I buy some from fasttech. Mostly simple flavors but cheap prices. Downside is usually 7-10 days shipping. My wife for example loves http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005199/1415128-dekang-e-liquid-for-electronic-cigarettes-50ml nothing special but $5 for 50ml is cheap.

Another place to look at may be www.ecblendflavors.com the have a plethora of flavors and 5ml bottles at $2.50. In my opinion its a good way to find out what flavors you are interested in and may want to buy more "upscale" versions of.

Okay, well I just ordered a 30 ml bottle from eliquid-usa and one from Heather's Heavenly Vapes (which has been brought up a lot here as a good e liquid source and the cost is more on the premium side). I'll review them both when they come in and I try them. Then I can determine which is a better value. I tend to prefer the fruitier ones that are a 70/30 mix. Thanks all. :)

I have no doubt that there are some AMAZING premium juices out there.

However, I like spending less money and getting more (even if it's not necessarily the best).

I buy from all of the following vendors at least semi-regularly:

Mount Baker Vapor - Best E Cigarette | Buy Electronic Cigarettes | E Cig Juice - MT Baker Vapor - 30ml = $7.50 to $8.50 - 10% off with coupon ECF
ECBlend = ECBlend E-Liquids - Something Better - 30ml starts at $8.99 - 20% off with coupon 10020
Parkes Vaping = Parkes Vaping, LLC - 30ml = $15.00
Pirate Vapor = PirateVapor.com, Denver, Colorado :: Electronic Cigarettes, E-Cigs, Custom E Liquid and E-Juice - 30ml = $11.95 - 10% off with coupon ECF
Moon Mountain Vapor Moon Mountain Vapor - 32ml = $13.99

And I just placed an order from:

Vapor God = Welcome to VaporGod.com - Eliquid, Cartomizers, Ego Batteries, Atomizers, Electronic Cigarettes and more! - 30ml - $9.99 - 30% off with coupon gone30 until 8/16

There's plenty of lower budget (under $0.50/ml) juices out there to sample. If you're fine with spending more for juice, go for it. If not, there are plenty of options out there to try, even if you don't care for any one vendor.

My standing advise to people looking for juice is to order sample packs (or very small bottles) from several different vendors.

I made the mistake of ordering several 30ml bottles based only on suggestions and online reviews. With some I got lucky and have reordered the BIG bottles. With others I either gave them away, tried mixing some together (worked sometimes), or dumped them down the drain.

Part of the process of sampling is to find out what flavors you like to vape. I ordered 10 sample bottles of different "Hawaiian" fruit blends only to give every one of them to my sister. It just wasn't my thing.

Since you live in Denver, have you checked out Vapor Leaf on West Colfax? That's where I got my first kit and juice. Their prices are .40c per ml. 10ml or 30ml, still .40c. Check out their online site. They have quite a variety of juice. Some pretty good. Some, eahh. They will however let you sample whatever you want. They are only open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in the afternoon and Saturday gets VERY busy.

Did you get the Arctic Wolf? If your into menthol, that's a must try! It will clear out your sinuses. I loaded up at the 30% off!

It's great to have a good place close by where you can try things before you buy them. Even then it's a shot in the dark sometimes. You may have loved it at the store, but on the second fill you find you can't stand it anymore.
On the other hand, there are a couple flavors from a place by here that I can't get anywhere else. And still try their new stuff when they bring it out.

I really only like a smidge of menthol, and my fiance has been slowly moving away from menthol, so we passed on that one for now. Tried a tea, a couple of fruity vapes, and I think I went with Pralines & Cream. That should be enough variety to know if we want to reorder.

Hi all. Quick question. I went to the link below and saw that they sell juices considerably cheaper than other sites. While most sites sell 15ml bottles of juice for around $15.00 USD, this site sells 30ml bottles for less than $10.00 USD. Has anyone ordered from them before? Also, should the HUGE price difference be a red flag? Thanks in advance.

Eliquid | Eliquids |E-Liquid 30ML | Eliquid 30 ML | L-Liquids Usa | E liquids

Hmmm... Click!

:blink:

"One 30 ml bottle of E-Liquids-Usa will last approximately 1 to 2 month!
One 10 ml bottle of E-Liquids-Usa will last approximately 1 to 3 Weeks!

Simply drip 3-5 drops onto pad to moisten it well when you want to refill your e cigarette cartridge. This is all the e Cig smoke juice needed to refill your cartridges with our e liquid Bottle!
"

As soon as I stop laughing I'll consider placing an order. Perhaps not.

If it's bad, it will last a long time (in the back of the vape closet)

MBV's Vanilla Custard and Milk Chocolate are great for me, also HHV's Orange Choc and Crackberry, but that's out of probably 6+ samples of each. I also like Halo's Belgian Choc. I like sweets obviously :) hoping the others will be better in a few weeks, but I have some Johnson Creek samples I've had for at least 4-6 weeks and still don't like. How long before you give up on a juice?
