First off, Boba's Bounty so far is the best and my favorite juice I've tried. I have ecto plasma in the mail and I'm looking for more juices to try. Boba's fans, help me out here as nothing I try can live up to this monster.

So, as stated in two other topics I started, I'm quite new to this. That being said, so far, I've tried around 16ish flavors. Most of them have come from ECBlends. I have a lot of respect for them as a vendor and reccomend anyone to try them. For me though, most of their flavors kind of taste the same to me, and it's candy grape. While I like candy grape it's also a bit muted, and chemically even after steeping for 2 weeks. I seem to begin their flavors with "wow this is great!" after a bit it turns to "hmmm it's alright" then it turns into "gah give me something else this is getting worse and worse." They get UBER bonus points for their price point though. Best juice prices I've seen ANYWHERE. My favorite flavor from them is dragon fruit (my girlfriend has dragons blood, I will be trying that this weekend).

So once again I turn to you guys for advice. Fruit flavors that have a "sour" or "tartness" to them. I love sour candies and looking for something that really satisfies that craving. Beverage flavors that are refreshing like a redbull clone that actually tastes like redbull would be great. Tobacco flavors similar to boba's maybe but with a 70/30 or 60/40 pg/vg ratio for better wicking and TH? That said, I plan on trying gorilla juice eventually.

I will leave the rest up to you guys to through out suggestions. I love to use my carto tank setup so juices known to crack polycarb. tanks are out for the most part. Price IS a concern for me, on a bit of a budget so nothing insane like 10 bucks per 5 ml's. I will also list some flavors of foods and such that I know I hate to keep you guys from throwing those out there.

I hate these flavors:
Peach
Pear
Honey (though people say they get this from boba's? I don't get much honey but it's more honey ALONE I hate, with other stuff it's alright I guess)
Cinnamon
Apricot
Cantaloupe (or similar melons like honey dews, yuck)
Maracino (sp?) cherries (the "fake" ones in the jelly-ish sauce stuff. Any fruits in those sauce things that are overly sweet really)
Cooked blueberries (They get too sweet when cooked like in a muffin. Love them off the bush, nice and tart)
Chamomile
Chai tea
Flowery flavors
Menthol (I hated menthol analogs, can only imagine I will hate menthol juice. Avoiding for now)
Overly sweet stuff (I like tart and sour)
There's probably more that I'm not fond of but more likely than not, they can be decent when mixed with other flavors.

As always, you guys are the BEST and your advice is always appreciated. Feel free to respond here, or PM me if you want to have more than a two or three post back and forth correspondence just to keep the thread nice and tidy. Thanks again and happy vaping!

Glad to see you've found some flavors you like already! I'm sure like myself and so many others....you'll still end up trying a ton of other flavors, even when you have a few you like. That said, I have a few suggestions for you:

For the fruitier type vapes...I strongly suggest Rawr Vapor. I vape mostly fruits these days, and they are my go to vendor. You can customize your PG/VG ratio, and add menthol to any of the juices if you wish. If you like tart...I'd recommend Serenity, its ones of my all day vapes. Its a really awesome raspberry flavor, blended with a creamy coconut. Very nice vape. All of their juices are really impressive...I have about 20-30 flavors from there, haven't come across any i don't like. So maybe take a browse through some of their other signature juices. Oh...for tart/sourt...Antidote is a great one! Its a fresh bueberry lemonade. Awesome. Their Lemon-lime slushie is great too...reminds me of an ice cold glass of lemon-lime gatorade. Lazerus is another...its a cherry-limeade. (tastes like the drink from sonic)

If you like Boba's...I'd suggest Gandalf from Heathers Heavenly Vapes...its a really nice tobacco juice and seems to be getting a lot of positive reviews from those who have tried it so far. I don't vape tobacco juices much anymore, but really liked this one. The other tobacco juices from HHV have been getting alot of great reviews, I just can't speak first hand to the others. When I was vaping the tobacco juices more so, Backwoods Brew was my go to. Absolutely love Casablanca, really great tobacco blend. His Honey Flue tobacco's and Applewood tobacco are really good ones. I haven't tried the 555 or 555 exotic, but know alot of people really like those too.

These are all great vendors in my opinion. Their customer service has been great, super fast shipping from all three. I don't have a bad thing to say about any of them....and their juices are great tasting and high quality.

Hope this helps! Good luck with your search!

Those suggestions sound amazing. Cherry-limeade might be my all time favorite beverage ever and I've been searching for a good one. Picking that one up this weekend for damn sure! In fact, I'm going to probably try them all minus the slushy (Ice stuff always sounds like it has a bit of menthol in it, and i'm steering away from all things menthol)

The gandalf reccomendation might be interesting, was never a fan of pipe tobacco but these things tend to taste better than their burned counter parts anyway. Also, I'm a huge lord of the rings buff so it might work out perfectly XD (even wear the legit one ring of power from the catalog, 24k gold and all. Was my graduation present from high school. Book fan though first, way before the movies =) Also have tolkien's signature symbol tattoo'd on my arm).

Thanks for the reccomendations! Feel free everyone else to post more. Really itching for a near spot on red bull immitator! Back 4 or 5 years ago or so my buddy had tried vaping (it was still in it's infancy) and he had a redbull clone from pure smoker I believe? He had their black penstyle with the blue led (when you could order custom led's and their kit cost 200 bucks). Can't find a red bull clone on their site but from what i remember it was pretty damn spot on.

Glad you found the info helpful! Lazerus really does taste like that drink from sonic, so you may have found a real winner if cherry limeade is one of your favorite drinks! Just to confirm, the lemon-lime slushie does not have any menthol in it, its just pure lemon-lime yumminess. You can choose to add menthol to it if you want.(which it sounds like you definitely won't), but the version I tried did not contain menthol either. (I just love cold gatorade, and thats what that lemon-lime flavor reminds me of)

Wish I could help on the redbull search...but I haven't tried any of those flavors.

You might like some of the tobacco blends from Mountain Oak Vapors. I'd also second the recommendation of Gandalf. I just got some in yesterday and it's pretty phenomenal. The Blade Runner from the same vendor is also very good.

If you want something fruity but not overpowering or too sweet, you should try A Quiet Morning from Alice in Vapeland. It's been my favorite flavor for a while now and is a mild blend of green tea and passionfruit.

I've actually never been to a sonic. Up until recently the closest one was in Virginia (I'm in NYC). They now have one in NJ and PA but i haven't been around one to try it. But i have tried other cherry-limeade's like the ones in the supermarket from tropicana (awesome btw).

I have one question about rawr vapor. I've been watching some youtube reviews, all from about a year ago. They all complain about mild Throat Hit. How is the throat hit at 18mg? To me TH is important too.

Bobas is my favorite too. If you haven't tried AVE gorilla juice it's good. Kinda like a banana flavored bobas bounty. I also like dekang 555 and DIY flavorshacks 555. Both very nutty tasting. Tasty vapors butter rum is highly addictive and he can make it with no sweetener which is just as good if not better than the sweetened IMO.

Yeah I need to try gorilla juice, just worried about banana flavoring cracking my tank. Will most likely try it in these "elite" ce3's i just ordered from altsmoke. I'll keep those other tobacco's in mind. Only other tobaccos i've tried were black magic and tobacco blend from ecblends and both were unvapable, absolutely gross imo.

Apple Pie from Good Prophets is worth trying. Price is very reasonable too.

I knew there was a flavor i was forgetting in those I disliked. Cooked apples. Cooked fruits in general though. I will give anything a shot though at vape meets if anyone lets me try them. I will keep that in mind. Just placed my rawr vapor order, Need to get some more cash to order anything else for now.

Little update and necro on my own thread. Gandalf was great and I really wasn't impressed by the three from rawr vapor, in fact i really disliked the one I thought I would love, lazarus. I steeped all the juices for 2 weeks and still was far from a fan on most of them except for Gandalf. Man I like this one and is so far my second favorite vape aside from boba's. I'm starting to wonder if I will lean more towards tobacco and hearty flavors than fruity ones at this point as I haven't really found that fruit flavor that stands out. Still for me, the king is boba's bounty, though with the current bogegate stuff going down I've been having all kinds of issues with the carto's in my tank and need to find another way to vape boba's.

Anyone have experience with boba's or any other 100% vg juice in a vivi nova 2.5? How does it wick, if it wicks at all? My girlfriend has one and i am really impressed so far by it.

I definitely need to try some from backwoods brew, mountain oaks, and mrs. t's bake shop. Hardest part of being a new vaper is definitely trying to find 5-10 juices that you love, especially on a tight budget like me. Keep any suggestions comming!

P, I see you keep relating to food flavors but juice flavors have nothing to do with food. You will like 1/2 of the things you say you don't like.

Gorilla juice doesn't crack anything I've ever heard of. I buy extra banana and add it in. AVe also has some other tobacco flavors. I have one maybe gold? It isn't my favorite but better than most. Also, I think I go through as much hype as gorilla juice.

I didn't like lazarus either. I did like the teas from rawr. Ordered one with menthol and I don't really want that added again. I'm kinda apathetic about the coconut one I got.

If you want a more realistic blueberry, the one from epipemods is very realistic. The apple is great and the peach is a lighter flavored one but I think that's part of a realistic flavor. All of their juices that I have work great in a tank without punching extra holes.
