I have been vaping over 2 years, tried so much juice I am astonished. Most of the year I had to be very careful what I bought because I only had a small amount to spend so I chose very carefully or stuck with my ol faithfuls that were tried and true.
I finally got a lil cash so since July I have been researching and trying several vendors. I have read reviews and waited for sales and I almost feel like I am starting over! So many new vendors, and not just juice either.
Anyway, here is what I have tried

The vapor girl
Nicoticket
Zeus juice
Hurricane vapor
Seduce juice

Now all these vendors put out what I consider a quality product. However I don't have a stand out in the bunch, nothing I will be ordering again, with the exception of seduce juice pineapple upside down. It's a great juice and one that lives up to the hype, I just don't vape that one all the time.

I am mostly a sweet and bakery type vape chic, no menthol or coffee, but most everything else is something I would consider.

Some of my favorites are

Waffles w butter, Kick Bass
Gooey butter cake Altcig
Top of the muffin Altcig
Biscotti from Vapor Cast Store
Cream Dekang
Cookie from DIY flavor shak
Butterscotch Mt Baker Vapor
Cherry. vaping Zone
Cupcake City Aiv

I also do diy a bit but nothing big. I have gone down that road a couple times, mostly just one flavor, like cake, or whipped cream.

I exclusively use rba s to vape.

Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks

I have not been vaping nearly as long as you but I totally feel your pain with the juice blues. I spent over 100.00 on a HUGE order from Virgin Vapor and I have ten bottles of juice with virtually NO flavor. I had to go to my local vape shop and pick up a flavor I liked in their tester that was all VG but it totally tastes different in my equipment.

Since right now I can't afford to spend any more money on stuff I am stuck with 11 bottles of stuff I don't really like that I have to vape to get through these cigarette cravings. (I'm on day 5 analog free.)

I guess some people would have gone back to analogs out of frustration but I just won't do that. I do have a peppermint flavor that is tolerable but I would love to have a couple more that i actually like.

I was jsut going to recommend Virgin vapors!!! LOL I guess it really is subjective! I have tried probably 20+ vendors and they are my top favorite. The one thing with their e liquids is-some require a little steeping. But the flavors are the more authentic natural flavors I have tried...not the fake candy type flavors that leave a bad taste in your mouth.

CatClick-I am curious which VV flavors did you try?

Kona Coffee Milkshake
Caramel Creme
Buttercream Mint
Vanilla Latte
Peppermint Chill
Menthol Moon Drops
There were a few more but I don't remember the names off the top of my head.

Pretty much none of them had any flavor at all except for the menthol moon drops which darn near killed my throat. Peppermint Chill is OK but still not that great and it's what I am stuck vaping at the moment because the other are just like pretty much vaping water.

I have tried online but honestly can't find vendors juice that I love as much as my local. They have in-house juice as well as a couple of very good outside vendor juice (Suicide Bunny, Five Pawns, Uncle Junk)...Give them a try. They have great flavors - good desserts and fruit. Worth a shot if you don't have a local you like. They are actually a chain in California (I think they have 9 stores) and are rated really high among the locals.

I have not tried the vapor room, and I have heard of the niquid biscotti. Can u tell me more about tvr? Have u had waffle from any place else? I have bought waffle several places and the only one I have liked is from kick bass. I like the taste of the waffle with butter, easy on the maple. Most I have tried have either missed it altogether or it just tasted like syrup.

Cheesecake is another I would like to find. So many make it but so few get it right. Cheesecake I one I have tried to do myself, no luck :(

I got 3 new juices recently from Virgin Vapors; drunken pirate pudding, banana foster, and kona velvet milkshake. Fresh out of the mail I was horribly disappointed! As a new vapor I did a large order from Giant Vapes since they have multiple vendors in one spot and just chalked them up to a loss ya know? However, I decided to take them back out and give another go and WHOA! Absolutely yummy! Actually been vaping drunken pirate pudding all day long now! Thank goodness as a holistic practitioner I tend to be partial to organic and was a bit bummed to find that the one organic I tried was so flavorless :-(. So you might try 2-3 weeks of steeping.

One last thought; have you tried any Alice in Vapeland? They have great quality juices! Many dessert flavors and reasonable prices. Also which juices did you try from Nicoticket? I was only impressed with H1N1 fresh out the box and only getting better by the day but the custards last stand I heard so much about was only "ehhh" to me; not bad but nothing to write home about for sure.

Heather's Heavenly Vapes has some fantastic sweets/bakery, including a very authentic Blueberry Muffin, and with affordable prices.

Maddcatt Vapor has many sweets/bakery flavors and a loyal fan base. Weekly 30ml for $10 specials (6-8 different flavors) help pinch those pennies.

Goodlife Vapor has been getting a lot of great reviews, and the mostly offer a selection of bakery/dessert/candy vapes at affordable rates.

Unflavored is not an option cags
That would be like drinking non alcoholic beer, what would be the point? If I wanted unflavored I could have stuck with my cig size two yrs ago and just vaped their 3 flavors.
I guess my issue is that I read all these reviews that ppl LOVE this juice or that or this vendor, and it's not just one person it's several

Ok here is an example, Spinfuel they have what like 6 or 7 ppl with different tastes and devices. They all give a juice 5 stars, and say it tastes just like its supposed to, ( without months of steeping as well ) so I order it and vape it and think, are they nuts??? Did I get a bad batch? Are m taste buds that crazy? How can it be so very far from what they said?

This has been my main issue since I started. U know I accept that not every piece of hardware is going to be epic, it changes so fast I know u have to pick your battles. The technology changes very quickly, it can be frustrating but I get that.

With juices tho the method and the ingredients haven't changed have they? Shouldn't all the kinks be worked out by now? Sorry for the rant, like I said frustrated... I had hoped by now to have 20 or so fantastic juices then I could try new stuff only if I could try it in person. That's not the case

20... I'd be happy with 3. Right now I have one liquid that satisfies me completely, HHV LEGEND. And it has to be in a Vision Nano. I put it in my Aspire and didn't like it, vaguely reminded me of Boba's Bounty. I don't want that (not that it's bad). I'm going to try it in my Protank 2 next.

Another thing I'm finding is the grass isn't always green in another vendor. I just got two liquids from different vendors that practically made me ill they were so perfumey. Yeah sure they have to steep, but HHV's Island Dream and Crackberry weren't perfumey and really didn't need to steep to vape, maybe to improve but not to vape. And even though these liquids didn't wow me, they were pretty good and adequately vapable, and now I appreciate them more.

I also remember when I first started vaping I bought peanut butter from MyFreedomSmokes on a whim because I was buying vape equipment there, and it tasted like peanut butter. Nothing fancy, not perfumey, not candy, just peanut butter. I thought it was silly that I was vaping peanut butter flavor, my family was amused by it as well, but now... I look back at that peanut butter fondly. I miss it. Because it tasted like friggin peanut butter.

I have tried Aiv and I do like a few, and nicoticket was alright but not all everyone said, I guess I expected more.
And while I like some of the flavor names, cause they are cute or catchy, sometimes its over kill and I wonder if they do that just so u have no idea what it is.
I am thinking of trying copper creek or maybe hhv, mad cat is also a possibility. I'll post results when I do
