i have tried many juices thus far, all the popular ones about Halo, HHV, RoarVapor, MBV, and i still have not found my perfect ADV.

to be specific:
- subzero (halo)
- kringle's curse (halo)
- legend, mocha, blade, nice pear, cinful pear (HHV)
- hawaian sunset/sunrise/paradise (roar)
- extreme ice, banana cream pie, cinnamon roll (MBV)
- strawberry, apple (mvs)

and a dozen more i didn't care to list.
i even went to local vapeshop and sampled over 20+ different juices and still none really quite what i'd call ADV.

i don't know what it is, but when i try the disposable e-cigs from eonsmokes, nowcigs, even blucigs, they just taste better than the juice i find raved here on the forums.

i'm pretty disappointed right now and i'd like to get back on track. any advice?

Most people, me included, have an RY4 addiction. It's a nice tobacco flavor but it does vary from vendor to vendor.

My favorite RY4'ish all day vapes are Tribeca from Halo and 4 Star General from MyFreedomSmokes.

juice recommendations are hard because everyone has different tastes. I have tried juice that people rave about and hated it and have tried juice that people hate and liked it..

Good luck!

Have you tried any RY4's? There's so much variation amongst different vendors that even if you don't get down to tobacco flavors, you could still find one you like.

My two favorite vendors right now are Alien Visions E-Juice (Alien Visions) and Velvet Cloud Vapor.

Alien Visions Boba's Bounty is that good that it is worth checking the site everyday to try to get to it while it is open. It is a total ....* to get, but it really is worth it.

Night Shift from Velvet Cloud Vapors is my 2nd ADV. Normally, I try to stick to tobacco vapes, but this juice is incredible. It is so good.

I'm awaiting a shipment from Good Life Vapor as well. I've been hearing great things about them.

What if you bought a a few ego batteries and attys that suit your needs and put a different flavor in each one? You're not vaping the same thing, and you'll get rid of your juice stockpile. I've found that a lot of the less than favorite juice isn't that bad if you can rotate with others.

Some of them will even "grow" on you. Also, you will learn what steeping does for flavors.

I started out looking for that ADV and couldn't find one either :( I think for many of us it takes time before our taste buds are ready for an ADV. I remember being much happier with some of the juices I owned once I stopped looking for that ADV and accepted I wasn't going to find one at that point. I found a bunch of juices I liked better then others but nothing I could vape all day without changing flavor 4 or 5 times a day. I didn't go crazy after that trying new juices but I did try a few new ones every once in a while and I did find a few more I preferred among those new ones. Fast forward to my two year vaping anniversary and I found I could easily vape any of my top 10 flavors all day if I felt like it :) Today I have some juices I prefer over others BUT I can vape any of them for days without changing flavors if thats what I decide to do. :)

I think this is a good point. I've found a few that I really like but nothing I could vape all day without my taste buds going numb. I keep 4 tanks filled with different flavors and just switch out. Each time I order I include a sample size of something I haven't tried before. I'm still new enough that there are many vendors I haven't tried yet. The search continues...

Ever thought about DIYing your own juice? Honestly, I'm in - mostly - the same boat, about half-way through a 60-bottle cache (I sort of went overboard) of juices and, although I'm finding some that aren't totally unvapable, I'm not having much luck finding that 1 ...or 5 ...that just tickle my fancy right out of the bottle. A few are close, though ...just need a little more oomph in certain areas.

I'm not yet convinced to go all the way DIY yet ...Lord knows I have plenty of juice to last for a while ...but I'm thinking I might order some vanilla, caramel, and/or bavarian cream flavor just to add for an extra kick.

Have you ever tried unflavored juice? It's really good - kind of sweet.

I have 2 ADV's . .Rwhy4 (recipe gotten from the DIY forum) and unflavored. I try a lot of different flavors - but those are the only 2 I really like so far. Whenever I get "flavored out" from trying new flavors, I always go back to unflavored.

You could get a 60ml bottle of unflavored nic from Wizard labs for around $5. I get mine in 100% vg and then cut it with PG ($3 for 100ml at WL). My nic base is 24mg and then I add 25% PG for 18mg unflavored juice.

I defintely agree that Boba's is good - if you can get it.

I have been thinking about unflavored. Its got to have some flavor. Can you explain the experience. I assume the VG is sweet by itself....

Looks like you might like a little menthol in your vape. If so, please try Minnesota menthol from vermillion river. If i were a menthol vaper, it'd be my ADV.

The unflavored nic is nearly neutral. I am bouncing around from 90vg/10pg to 30vg/70pg. 12mg nic. Unflavored. At first (3 days ago) it did have an ashy end but my taste buds have adjusted an it's mostly neutral. It's vapor with nicotine. The only sort of taste is from the warmth of the vapor. I'm using RTSvapes nic liquid. Looks like my next purchase with be from nudenicotine. He's what I was reading recently : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...lidated-eliquid-bulk-100mg-ml-nicotine-4.html

I would put unflavored nic at the top of my list to have around for any vapor. I'm using 2/3 unflavored and 1/3 of all my juices (including ones that were only so/so) to get some of $$$ back and still enjoy a decent vape.

What if i told you there is no ADV. Haha for me there are just ones that i love for a month or so and can always revisit. Everyone is different, but I would highly recommend that you try:
-Apple Jax by Epic e-juice
-Pink Lemonade by Midas
-OR3O by Ben Jonson's

All of these can be found on either VapeRev or Vaporlabsonline

blucigs uses johnson creek e liguid. To me, menthol would be an easier flavor profile. i don't care for mint, menthol or wintergreen but they cover half of whatever flavor it's paired with. There are plenty of vendors that carry menthol. Ecigexpress has menthol flavor crystals, wintergreen and mint flavors galore to mix with your current juices.

I've been off an on for a few years vaping and never able to quit analogs until 5 weeks ago. I had been using at least, 5 different flavors each day. Depending on what time of day it was, my tastes were just different. So no ADV for me. I had built up enough juices to keep me going but some days i just don't want to mess with ecigs. I want to have my tanks filled, batts charged and get on with other things in my life. Sometimes it's kinda cool that I have a few hundred bottles of juice I can talk about I have in my collection and at times it just seems like a waste of time and money. For me, my biggest problem was getting way too much juice flowing across my taste buds. It's just killed it. after about 20 mins of chain vape it was like I just dropped the juice right on my tongue. Now that I cut my favorite juices with 2/3 unflavored and 1/3 flavored, I can vape for hours without much hassle at all. All day. Good luck to you. Don't give up. HTH.

I mix my juices. Sometimes not even with a flavor in mind. I might want to clean an evod for a new, light flavor I want to try and I have half a tank of juice so I just pour it on top of whatever is in my Vision Victory. It holds 5ml so there is usually enough room for a few additions. Right now it tastes great! Have no idea what is in it or what the nic concentration is. Nor will I ever be able to replicate it! I like all the RY-4s I have tried, some better than others. I love my absinthe and can add it to most anything to make it better and "vapeable". I have some really light fruity flavors that are usually too light so they get a hit of another fruit or are used on top of a tobacco flavor like USA or Sweet. I doubt this helps, but it is fun. I also have about three PVs set up at any given moment and have a good choice of vapes to suit my mood.
