Hi vaping friends new but not new...

[Movapor]

Well, first forum ever joined so I say hi to whomever happens to read this, new to forums but an older guy who loves vaping and trying to figure out a few things.
1. I read 490 pages of FDA's regulations and am disgusted and embarrassed this is OUR government, "for the people" and always "acting in our best interests", ha! Everyone knows they are crooks to start and they serve only THEIR needs and special interests, but of all the small inventions on this planet that just HAS to be regulated so be it, but NOT as a device that is the most effective product to kick the tobacco habit ever invented. Friends, I'm embarrassed, disgusted and fed up with the Feds! They steal our hard earned $$ and invest it in millions of dollars of legal B.S. just to keep the special interest tobacco companies supporting their interests. Screw'em! I'm sure this is a broken record to everyone here but this makes me so sick I can't stand myself-hang'em high FDA!
2. I had a question I hoped someone can help with; I'm trying to find REAL consumer opinions/feedback on the top 20 or so liquid flavors/brands. I've used 5 Pawns Gambit which I enjoy but want to run through each category myself, sweets, fruits, candies, pastries and so on to see if there's more out there I might enjoy. I like QUALITY and made right, Cosmic, Space Jam and a few others have been mentioned by friends and with testing bars going away in August (free anything) and local shops only carrying so many references would be great for quality! I use a good old Kanger Top tank & 75w ipv

I would recommend learning to DYI as soon as you can, it is not as hard as people make it out to be. I know many people say, "so let them regulate," it is not that simple, it will not only add a few dollars of cost per product, it will kill off many MANY US and now UK based businesses and any imports will stop as well. To become certified by FDA you need to pay upwards of 1 million, per product, which will include e-liquid and any flavor variation.

Hey Movapor!
I'm also new to this forum but definitely not new to the vaping game. I would have to agree with part 1 of your post! It's outrageous and just downright maddening at this point. 2) Have you ever had UBE? It's a variation of purple yam and coconut..(I know, sounds gross) but it's simply superb! It's by Pop Culture Vapor and it's my go-to ADV! Another I tried recently was Churrios by The Milkman! Can't rave enough about both of these juices! Hope this gave you a couple more options!

Hello and welcome to the forum @Movapor. Glad to have you here!

In between DIYing, Ahlusion is my go-to vendor for juice. Ahlusion does fruit & tea vapes very well. They are the only line of juice I have found that I love more than 2-3 of their offerings. Their Lemon Vanilla Cake is always loaded up in one of my tanks.

Fan Club here on ECF: Ahlusion LLC Chat Thread. Lots of members (all enablers, every last one of them) who would be more than happy to give you recommendations based on your preferences. Though @I'mnotZak had to correct me regarding the enabling "rumors," he prefers to think of these folks as "knowledge providers and wallet wreckers".

For every $20 you spend (after sale price/taxes/shipping) you can request a free 10ml sample. Ahlusion LLC - Sample Policy. Three week after you receive your order you will receive a 15% coupon code that you can use on your next order. If they are running a sale you can stack your coupon on top of whatever the current sale discount is.

I also LOVE Omega Vapes Breeze (peach/cantaloupe blend), Cosmic Fogs Milk & Honey, Ripe Vapes Pear Almond and One Hit Wonders Muffin Man (apple/cinnamon muffin).

EJuices, Giant Vapes and Breazy are great places to shop when looking to pick up flavors from multiple popular vendor lines of juice.

That's crazy you said Cosmic Fogs Milk & Honey..I actually just loaded that in my vape about an hour ago! And Pear Almond sounds awesome! That'll be the next one I try..thanks for the recommendations!

Hi I have a friend who makes their own, at this point I saw a survey done here on ECG on the best eliquids by brand and by flavors, I'm not very computer savvy and have no idea where to find that info, I tried searching to no avail. If anyone could help it would be appreciated a lot. Thanks.
Are FDA regs going to mess up importing from China too? What'll distributors do as I read it, it affects ALL products parts and components, literally everything! I buy from Madvapes and hope they don't fold or any others for that matter. This whole thing sucks! I suppose it'll affect ecommerce stores as well? Liquid or not?

Personally I use "eliquid calculator" there is also a website associated with it which has a lot of recipes.

As far as imports are concerned, yes it will mess it up as well, you can not import any line of products which needs to be approved by FDA without said approval. And companies will stop importing as it will make no sense to cut so deep into profits, or the prices will skyrocket, making it more expensive than analogs.
