I'm three weeks into vaping, and I find juice reviews very confusing. I know that flavor is subjective, I get that. My problem is every juice from every vendor seems to have reviews that range from Absolutely Delicious to Totally Disgusting. Nothing tics me off more than wasting money. The one or two times I've been to a vape shop, some juices I try are good, but many have the same burnt chemical taste no matter the flavor. Not sure what to think.

Is there one magical vendor out there where all of their flavors are good? I seem to hate tobacco flavors, but like fruit flavors. My wife seems to like menthol and vanilla. I have a sampler pack on the way from Nicquid. I've been vaping two berry blends from my local vape shop for two weeks now, but it's getting old. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Magic liquids that everyone likes? No.

Short of having access to a tasting bar you have to just try stuff. Stick to small orders - six flavors or less - and sample sizes when trying out any new place. As you have already noticed there may be a very general reason why you aren't going to like any liquids from a given vendor, because they all have the same nic or PG/VG base, all the flavorings are being sourced from the same company etc. and you are picking up on something in the liquid base that you don't care for.

Sample orders might be initially expensive, but so is blowing big bucks on 30 bottles of liquid all from the same place and finding out you don't like any of it for the above reasons.

You can always swap stuff you find you don't like too: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/414138-juice-swaps-usa-please-read-first-post-rules-guidelines.html

Depends on what you're willing to spend. Many feel Vaperite offer exceptional fruit flavors https://www.vaperite.com/ but at a higher than average cost (personal opinion). Best thing to do is to ask specific questions and then take a chance.

Personally, I think I got lucky when I began vaping. I did my research, asked questions here on the forum, read/watched reviews and ended up with some fine juice vendors within my budget. I still use the same vendors nearly a year into this journey, but have found others which I like as well.

Personally I'm not big on fruit flavors, but have segued into them a little harder of late. I've enjoyed fruit blends from Zeus Juice, Jay's Juice (sold through Venerable Vaping), and from Heather's Heavenly Vapes (fruit infused tobacco and bakery are the flavors I've tried).

Research is most of it, ordering samplers is another. Plus learn the art of breathing and steeping. Check out the Supplier threads for even more information.

If you want a specific place to try, here's the best way to work a first time order from The Vapor Room: The Vapor Room.net | Vaporize Nicotine | E Cig Atomizers

They have a ten 3 ml sample pack for $25.00 or a five 6 ml sample pack for $20.00. At cost per ml the 6 ml pack is a better deal, and if you find something you really like those bitty 3 ml bottles only lead to heartache and disappointment when they run out. These aren't pre-selected flavors - you get to pick anything you want from the flavor lineup. If DW likes her menthol try the Port Menthol. (Think NewPort...)

A first time customer gets a free 15 ml bottle of your choice. You put your request for flavor and PG/VG ratio in the comments box during checkout.

Every order gets a free 3 ml sample. You can even put in for flavor requests for that too in comments at checkout, but being a freebie you don't always get your flavor request. But you always get something.

See the Sales/Free Stuff page for more info about those two freebies.

Use code THANKYOU to get 10% off your order.

Shipping is only $4.00

That gets you 48 ml's, covering seven different flavors, for only $22.00 - including shipping.
