...And I am looking to purchase some Juice!

I hovered around these boards for a good week before making a final decision on which E-Cigarette to purchase, and based on what everyone has said, I purchased the Joye 510 Starter kit from Cignot.

I'm doing this as an alternative because, based on what I've read so far, vaping is a lot cheaper than buying real Cigarettes. I never really wanted to quit smoking in the first place (1/2 to 1 pack of Pall Mall Reds a day), but I did want to find a cheaper alternative.

The first day I received my 510, I fell in love with it.

This is sounding more like a review than an actual inquiry, so I digress.

I am extremely new to the world of vaping, but so far, it seems like a viable alternative. In addition to that, I am on an extremely tight budget as is, hence the switch to vaping.

I've been reviewing few Juice retailers, and I wanted your honest opinion, as well as any suggestions you might have.

I first looked at Johnson Creek (their v2 starter pack, which is a sample pack of 10 flavors in 3mL bottles for ~$22, coming to $0.73/mL), but I get 10 pretty Glass Bottles and a tin.

I also looked at CigNot's various 20mL for $9 each ($0.45/mL). I can get 5 Flavors on my budget.

What I'm really looking for, seeing as I'm new to the whole process, is more-or-less a "Sample Pack" if other retailers besides Johnson Creek have it. If some retailers don't offer sample packs, I'd love to hear your suggestions on flavors I should try out.

Thanks!

There are alot... do a search for "Sample pack" see what you get on the 4ums.

JC has good juice (other hate them) and the bottles and droppers are good for mixing and testing mixes and has served me well.

Without the bottles and droppers I'd be lost, although you can buy bottles separately from bottle vendors, and it was just easier for me to use pre-made juice and then reuse the bottles after emptying one for DIY.

US Plastics has a wide assortment of wonderful dropper bottles.

Check out LitecigUSA. Shawn has 10 ml bottles for $4.95 and shipping is free right now, great customer service and fast shipping. Some people hate the dekang (?) liquids but it's not a bad place to start. What you don't like, you can swap or sell on the forums here.

There's also StrictlyEjuice.com, Flavor Shop!. They have 3 ml bottles for like $2.00 or something along those lines. And they have ALOT of different flavors. I have not ordered from them but I've read good things.

Happy vaping and welcome!

I just got my first order from juicyvapors and their shipping was very fast. I do not recall if they have sample packs or not but so far their Cotton Candy is my very fav juice!! It is awesome. Getting ready to try out their Butterscotch here in a few.

So I can vouch for their quick shipping and their Cotton Candy.....both are awesome.

...

Since you are (were) a light smoker maybe you can save more by buying hihg-nic juices and and lower it with PG and/or VG and add the flavors you want. Beware, sometimes flavors cost more per ml than nic-juice ! But some flavors are really economical : 1 drop per ml of is enough. Most tobbaco ejuices can be mixed with flavors (the exception may be 555 : I did not found a flavor that mix good with it).

As for the exact flavors it is difficult to make suggestions since taste is so different from one poeple to another.

Happy Vape!

from Cignot too.

I rec getting nic juice-pg-vg-LorAnn Candy Oils and Do It Yourself

I spent a little over your budget but got:
90.3 ml of nic juice
10 flavors that can be mixed to create new ones
30ML PG
6 fl oz VG
all for about 70.

Get smaller amounts and you can come in under 50 and DIY

Lots more juice too- ability to vary nic strength

Like when buying your 510; the info for DiY is great here too.

Can't stand my cigs since day one vaping. Still have a pack and a half right in front of me since Sat. Can you still smoke cigs now?

Day one I tried to smoke mine ..took 2 puffs had to put it out. LOL Tried to get to four once- couldn't stand it.

Seriously with this outlaw stuff happening- read up on the DIY.
I find it interesting that many e-juice suppliers use LorAnn flavorings. Some I believe even sell the one's with dye in them and you wouldn't know unless....

There is a great thread that list all the top flavoring companies. Their flavors and if they have dye and if they are suitable for vaping.

Even a recipe section. It is pretty easy to do. I really like that I can control the nic since I do want to quit. On week three, I am going to try zero nic and see if it's easy.
