I have been very happy with Backwoods Brew juices. Tastes vary so much so I can not be 100% certain they would work for you but I can't get enough of BwB! My all day vape is a mix of 2 parts Caramel Cappucinno(6mg) to one part Malty (18mg). I also like the BwB blast (fireball). Yes you can buy cheaper juices and that is exactly what you get. a $15 30ml bottle that you really don't care for. I am sure others will chime in but read the posts, most give BwB big thumbs up

I felt the same way. Most the juice I bought in the first month was ok and won't go to waste, but just not what I was looking for, especially for what I would describe as an all day vape. I like fruit flavors but I wanted the taste of fruit not super sugary candy or a flavor that I could barely taste. I decided to spend some time concentrating on looking for the most commonly highly recommended ones and came up with BackWoods Brew, Mrs. T's, FreedomSmokeUSA, and VaborBomb. I took a look at all their websites and decided to place an order with VaborBomb. I have now found my e-juice supplier !! I placed my second order today ordering some repeats from my first order in large amounts and a few new flavors in smaller sizes so I can try them out.

Frankly, I'm of the opinion that reviews are useless as far as liquids are concerned other than to let you know where they ship in a timely fashion. Taste is subjective so one man's filet is another's liver. I agree with the poster who mentioned trying to swap out some, but even that can get to be a nuisance as far as paying shipping fees, although I guess it's cheaper than buying a whole bottle. Fortunately, a lot of the vendors have sample sizes which is a great thing, and there are a couple that are inexpensive enough that you're not out of pocket too much for them. Keep in mind that even with juices that are not to your liking, you may be able to combine a couple and come up with something that you do like...like maybe a chocolate that was too harsh and a strawberry cream that was too light might blend together to be magical. Just keep plugging away. You will eventually find that vendors whose stuff works for you.

Well, people DO like to talk, so if they want to talk about their experiences with a particular juice or whatever, then that's OK by me and I'll read it - if it's readable. And if nobody posted reviews, then wouldn't that be a worse situation entirely? I read juice reviews not as THE WORD, but as one person's opinion. If I think their review suits me, then I'll order some for myself and see...if they have a sample available, then even better!

I've done the multi-sample shopping route and can tell you it's just as hit or miss as judging by a review and it's comments.

Simplesins is right. I have seen some rave reviews here for several juices that I simply can not stand. Same supplier, same flavor. But alas, I am still swayed by the rave reviews and actually do like some juices that I have ordered based on them.

Definitely go with some samples. They usually run from $2.25 to $2.50 for 3 or 5ml bottles. FSUSA and Vapor Station are just a couple of suppliers who do have sample sizes.

And if PIF works for you, go for it.

Or DIY- make your own. Then you control everything=)

I went with DIY so I could go crazy with lotsa flavors and save a ton of money. My vaping costs me 30 cents a day in juice. When I test out new flavorings, I put just 2 ml of my 15 mg Nic juice in a 6ml bottle and add the flavoring to that and test it. That way I don't have to throw out much if I don't care for it. And I can make it as strong flavored as I want. My whole house smells like Cotton Candy today because that's what I'm vaping:)

Three of the five flavorings I ordered don't suit me so I will sell them on the forums to get some money back. I just ordered 5 more flavorings and hoping that I will love at least one of: Banana Bread, Rootbeer Float, Creamy Coconut, Butter Pecan or Toasted Marshmallow.

Just don't give up! Find a flavor that makes your toes curl and vape away:)
