How many e-liquid vendors have you ordered from? What has been your overall experience?

[supermarket]

Just curious what everyone else's experiences has been, so I have a couple questions for you guys:

1) How long have you been vaping for? Since May, 2014 (Almost a full year)

2) How many different e-liquid vendors have you ordered from? (13)

3) How many e-liquids have you tried? (70)

4) Overall experience?

For me, I started with 2 different e-liquid companies, which I ordered from the first web-site I Got my e-cig stuff from....litecigusa.net The very first e-liquid I tried (well, sort of. I originally started vaping back in 2009, but only for a brief two months) was Bounty Hunter, by NLV....to this day one of my favorite vapes, something I STILL order.

Since then, I've made it a sort of goal/custom/habit to try a new e-liquid company every month. Some e-liquid companies I've been rather displeased with, and some have completely blown me away.

Here's a list of the e-liquid vendors I've tried:

EPIC JUICE (Only ordered 2 e-liquids from them. Rather expensive. Haven't tried Apple Jax yet, which I'm REALLY looking forward too. Been vaping Airheadz the past few days in my kayfun....LOVE IT. Expensive e-liquid....worth every penny(

Fuzion (I put Roar and Fuzion in the same bracket. They are both decent, and remind me of each other, although I can't explain why. Both do fruit flavors really well. Roar is more natural flavored....whereas Fuzion here is more candy flavored. Their Unicorn blood is a best seller among vapers...and rightfully so. I'm a fan of purple piemen.....and their watermelon is the BEST watermelon e-liquid I've had to date...and I've tried quite a bit of watermelons)

GoodLifeVapor (Their deadly sin is to die for. Their El Kamino is fantastic once it steeps. Overall real positive experience. Very good e-liquid)

Heather's Heavenly Vapes (Not impressed. Tried 3 e-liquids from them. Two of them were among the worst vapes I've had. The Java Mocha Smooth was the worst vape I've tried to date. Tasted like burnt popcorn, and made me sick to my stomach. BLECH)

Liqua (Italian vape company. Their e-liquid is pre-steeped.....I haven't had dekang, but it seems like it would be an italian version of dekang.....kind of cheap e-liquids...but not bad. )

Mister E-Liquid (Good stuff! On par with GoodLIfeVapor. Really enjoyed their Grey Matter, Neptune, and their Banana Nut Bread was FANTASTIC)

NiteLiteVapor (BEST vendor HANDS DOWN. Out of the 8 or so e-liquids I've tried from them over the months, I've liked EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I recommend this vendor to everyone I know who vapes. MOST of their e-liquids either ARE, HAVE BEEN, COULD BE, or WILL BE my everyday vapes. I can't stress enough how fantastic this company is.....and no other e-liquid company I've used has come close to them)

Pinkspot (Good liquid.....ALMOST on par with goodlife and mister e-liquid. I would say pinkspot would be in the same league as goodlifevapor, and mister e-liquid, just not QUITE as good. They are a tad more expensive, and they do have a HUGE selection of e-liquids....most of which are fairly decent. I would definitely order again, although probably only if I came across a discount or sale)

Roar (Great Chocolate Dipped Banana flavor. GREAT fruit flavors. Known for their fruit, menthol, and green peach tea flavors. I enjoy this vendor a lot)

Spacejam (Can't say much about them yet! I've heard fantastic things. Expensive e-liquid. Today I'm trying Andromeda, but as you all know, it takes a while to really form an opinion about a liquid, let alone an entire company/brand/vendor. I have a good feeling about these guys though.....same caliber as epic juice)

VapeRite (They have a brick and mortar ship 2 miles from my house. In fact, I was just there today, and I have to say, they REALLY improved their store. I don't really care for the vast majority of their e-liquids, of course, this is just my personal , subjective taste. They do have excellent natural watermelon flavor. Today I tried one called Mad Hat I believe, had graham cracker in it....absolutely LOVED it. The rest of their juices though? Nah......)

VelvetCloudVapors (Just got 6 e-liquids from them in the mail. Have yet to try them. I've heard TONS of ranting and raving about their vanilla custard, so we will have to see )

VelvetVapors (Personally I think they are overpriced. Not a bad e-liquid vendor, but nothing about them stands out. They have clove, which can be hard to find, and they do have ONE of my favorite liquids, which is the only reason I still use them . That e-liquid is Cinnamon Sugar, and it is FANTASTIC!)




I really do like trying out new e-liquid companies, as you guys can probably tell... I do know I will probably be getting into DIY pretty soon, so that should be fun.

So, what about it guys?

I do know I will probably be getting into DIY pretty soon, so that should be fun.

So, what about it guys?

1) I started vaping on Halloween night, 2013
2) I have never ordered juice online for myself. I ordered online once for my wife - she loves Uncle Junk's Savannah (I like it, too)
3) I have tried (meaning, bought for myself) 17 different flavors.
4) Overall experience - At first, I would have said pretty good overall. After tasting my own DIY, even better.

I have only bought juice from 4 B&Ms. I have ordered from online retailers one time, and that was for my wife. There were a couple of them that I liked, most of them from a small B&M in town called Nettmix. I've had a couple good ones from the Vape Dojo. The other 2 places were good, but not mind blowing.

But since I found the "DIY eLiquid" forum on here a little over 2 months ago, I have stopped buying pre-made altogether. I have had awesome luck in the DIY arena. I've spent about $170 on TFA flavors, and have not bought ANY pre-made juice at all since Jan 25th. I have enough supplies on hand for about 2 years worth of juice. I highly recommend making an attempt. At less than 40 cents per 15 ml, you can't go wrong. I'm thrilled even when they turn out just "above average". I love it when a friend or coworker tries some of my DIY, and then gets mad that they can't order it online or go to the B&M to get it. Try it. You'll like it!

1) How long have you been vaping for?

september 2013

2) How many different e-liquid vendors have you ordered from? 9
halo, high desert vapes, mountbaker vaper, suicide bunny, rocket fuel, mister eliquid, avail, heathers heavenly vapes,
eta I forgot about Juice Mafia.... .
3) How many e-liquids have you tried? too many to count


4) Overall experience?
hdv - wasted money. and lots of it. spent about $100 in juices. i give them away to friends who will take them that are new to vaping

hhv - crackberry was good, the others are still in a shoe box around here somewhere

mbv - wasted a lot of money but found my first adv, blue moo. bought a 236ml bottle, it's still full. but i like the taste every now and again. definately liked it after 3 days steep time, and after 2 weeks i didnt like it as much. too much steeping

suicide bunny - the first two weeks i hated it, the smell was like old strawberry milk. i've had it over a month and just smelled the bottle, it smells better.... i'll consider trying it again soon.

rocket fuel - rocket pop i gave away, cats meow is sooo good but i ordered too high of a nic level so i have to get some zero to dilute it. potion 9, same thing, tastes good but my nic was too high at 18

halo - this is the brand i started with. Not bad really. the menthols are too strong for me. but i love the sweetness of them. so i vape them every now and again. so far i can't stand any of the nonmenthols. i have cafe mocha but havn't tried it yet. i'm not keen on the smell.

avail - tasted fine, nothing to get excited over but better than mbv and hdv

misterE - home run. i've tried maybe 15 flavors. all are really good and 13 of those are adv's for me. rooberry and bubble ice are my least favorite. but still good. i don't like tobacco usually but their ry4 and grey matter are really good.

eta Juice Mafia.... still have 4 full 30ml bottles, just can't vape the stuff

I'm considering trying Alice in Vapeland. some sound really good. but i'm worried about spending the money and not liking it. the reviews are mixed on them.

if some one else who loves mister e, if you have any other companies just as good or better let me know.
i'm looking into nitelite vapor now

if i had it to do over again...
in the very beginning i would have ordered two small bottles from 6 different companies and used that to determine who to try next.
I also learned very quickly to steep. Most times i don't even crack open a new bottle until 3 or 4 weeks after i've gotten it.
i learned that by mistake because i have a fear of running out of juice so i stay stocked.

 

[Ladiekali]

well that was a double post if i ever saw one.

 

[tmrr]

1 year
About 40 vendors
About 150 juices
Had to make a spreadsheet to keep up with them all. Biggest regret - expensive, big bottles of stuff that got rave reviews sitting in a cabinet unvaped. Biggest plus - samples, samples, samples. Now I clearly know what I like and why so the juice chase has gotten much more effective. I keep a running list of new juices that seem up my alley. But I'm pretty much happily married to about 6 vendors and 15 juices from that whole huge list.

Any chance you could post your spreadsheet here ? Someone did this a while back and i found it useful. Based on the juices we had both tried and liked, i ordered a few more that he liked, and two of them are part of my regular rotation now.

If anyone else has a similar spreadsheet they can post, i am sure lots of people will find it useful. I think i will do a spreadsheet also instead of keeping everything in my mind palace as Sherlock calls it !

I DIY these days but I am a huge Alice in Vapeland fan. They have a great sampler pack that is reasonably priced. Do note, however, that most of their flavors are on the subtle side of things, but this isn't a bad thing. AiV taught me that less can be more.

1) Since June 2012
2) I'm guessing 13, maybe more
3) No Idea. maybe 100 or so
4) Overall I've forgotten a lot of the ones I don't like, reorder the ones I do. I consider it part of the necessary learning experience one endures when starting Vaping. As best I can remember;

Clouds of Vapor; One of my Vaping Mentor's Favorites. Butterscotch, Caramel Crème, Vanilla Cream and Waffle were good. Have not returned as they provide limited information as to what is actually in their liquids, and no options of PG/VG ratios

Mrs. T's Bakery; Light in flavor, did not return

Cabin Creek; out of five selections, House Blend was the only one I enjoyed.

Backwoods Brew; five selections, no liked

RAWR Vapors; Tried maybe ten selections. Banana Crème Pie was only reorder.

Heather's Heavenly Vapes; By this time in my vaping career (couple of months) I'm noticing that lower PG ratios are better for my sinus allergies. HHV gives that option. First order was in Aug '12. Didn't like the fruits, but the Vanilla Dream, Tuscan Cocoa and Powder Keg were very good. Several months later when I ventured into NET's, HHV became my go-to vendor. Legend, Shadow, Oompa, Dragon's Fire, Heavenly Tobacco, Blade, Blueberry Muffin, and Powder Keg are among my constant reorders.

Alice in Vapeland; Absolutely Disgusting. 11 samples, most of which were poured down the drain. All tasted the same- like Lemon Pledge Furniture Polish.

AltCig; recommended to me for sweet vapes, I like their pastry and milkshake selections. Churro, Caramel Love, Strawberry Banana Milkshake are among reorders. If you contact them, they will adjust PG/VG ratios to your liking.

Highbrow Vapors; Becoming another of my favorite vendors. Permanent 10% discount code listed on front page, complete ingredient list for all selection available, customers are encouraged to 'Be Creative' with your orders. Extra flavor, mixing flavors, PG/VG ratios all available upon request. Best Caramel Flavor there is ! also, English Malt Toffee, HB Chocolate Cake, Crème Brulee, Peach Thymbra, Exotic Tobacco (w/ Apple flavor added), Cigar (mild) and French Pipe (Mild) are among reorders.

Ahlusion; Instant and acute sinus allergy reaction to all selections. Not going back.

Velvet Cloud Vapors; a 100% VG Vendor. White Beard was actually tasty, have been meaning to try them again.

MyVapeJuice,com; tried four small bottles of their NETs at 100%VG. Tasty, but very hard on coils/ wicks.

CavinVapes; Did not like the tobaccos, but love several of their sweet vapes. Vanilla X, Apple Delight, Strawberry Banana Milkshake and Strawberry Cheesecake are reorders.

MtBaker Vapor; tried four pastry flavors, didn't do much for me.

Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com; As a former pipe smoker, I love the Black Cherry and Black Cavendish. However, the proprietor has had some health issues lately, awaiting his return.

All of which means only one thing; All Tastes are Subjective. Find the ones you like and Enjoy

Most of them don't sound good to me

I'm looking at April moon, 'twas brillig, and zombie apocalypse
I'm thinking of 6mg nic and try dripping them

Daughter and I have been vaping for around 2 years now. Used cigalikes with cartos until almost a month ago, when we switched to Evod setups.
We have tried 4 online vendors. Daughter just today stopped in at a local B&M, and is trying their caramel juice.
No idea on how many flavors we have tried.
Overall, so far we have been pretty happy with most of what we have tried.
We have ordered from Vapor Bomb, Mt. Baker Vapor, The Vapor Room, and E-Liquid Samples.
We used Vapor Bomb exclusively for about 1 1/2 years, and were happy with most of what we got. Pricing was good. Customer service was good. Then I discovered ECF, and started exploring. We started ordering from Mt. Baker Vapor a few months ago. Really happy with price, customer service, etc. As with all things vaping, we have had a few that we have not cared for from both these companies, but for the most part can positively recommend both.
We tried a few from The Vapor Room. Overall, not quite our cup of tea. Slightly higher pricing than the above two vendors, so I usually just check their "Flavors of the Week" - they usually have 4 - and their "Weekender". Of the few flavors we have ordered, I REALLY liked their Horchata - never had the drink, but the juice reminded me of really creamy rice pudding. The Strawberry Cheesecake was decent.
Recently placed an order with E-Liquid Samples for 6 flavors to try from Virgin Vapors. Still working on trying them. So far, the Not-So-Virgin Eggnog and Bananas Foster are probably going to be ordered from VV in full size. Working on the Vanilla Chai Latte now - think that may be another to order full size. Still have 3 flavors to try after that. I really like the E-Liquid Samples so far - this is the first time I have used them, and it is working out. Good way for us to try some higher priced juice without committing to full size bottles of stuff we may or may not like.
I should add that we do have liquid from one other vendor. We ordered Evod clone kits from MaxVaper, and they came with liquid as part of the package. I got the Chocolate Mint, ordered Chocolate Caramel for daughter. Flavor is good, enjoyable. After not being able to vape chocolate flavors because they clogged the cartos on my cigalike, it was nice to get and be able to vape the chocolate mint. However, they only offer 100% PG, which daughter and I both found a little harsh at 18 mg. nicotine, especially in the better equipment. I am saving the juice to mix with similar flavors that may be a little thicker.

Cool idea...
Started vaping Feb of 2010
Online vendors probably around 10-15 mostly stick with Fuzion but now have been using Craft Vapery
Flavors I have tried is well over 150 and found maybe 15-25 that I like enough to continue to reorder or vape the whole bottle.
Overall I have found that I have wasted a ton of money luckily I learned fast to buy small bottles every once in awhile I screw up and buy a 30 ml that I like at first and end up hating but am more of a sweet fruit candy and bakery kind of person. Have some stuff coming in from Mister E liquid though that I am pretty excited about.
