I feel your pain - I want to buy everything! The only problem is that I downloaded this app for my phone called Vape to keep track of smoking vs vaping expenses. Let's just say I've spent almost $500 since July 9th (includes equipment and juice) and I've only ordered juice from 3 vendors - Halo, Johnson Creek, and The Vapor Shop. On top of that, I won't "break even" until next month (smoking vs vaping). I need to stop but I just want to try it all, hence my research on sample packs. When I've run out of my current samples I will be ordering from Alice in Vapeland and Five Pawns...I'm sure that will be enough :vapor:

Feeling TOTALLY adventurous, so I'm perusing various sites to order. Have ordered from Alice in Vaperland and Halo.......anyone have some other suggestions? Been using my Kanger Pro Tank, have the Pro Tank II coming here shortly, with my EVic and SID. (I have found my "Happy" equipment, YEAH!!!!)

Call me boring, but I've been addicted to Peanut Butter cup and Butterscotch (Tnx, Mt Baker!) and I want to try something new and not be stuck with a bunch of bottles of stuff I don't like (like I don't have a bunch already that I pawned off on my unsuspecting BF, but he's not too picky!) :p

Any and all suggestions of vendors with sample packs would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Indigo Vapes
Mom and Pop's Vapor
(Arizona Local Vendor to you (Metro Phoenix)) HotRod Vapors
(Arizona Local Vendor to you (Metro Phoenix)) CrystalCanyon Vapes
(Arizona Local Vendor to you (Prescott)) JVapes (also has a brick and mortar in Prescott now)

*Edit
Also check out the Vaping in Phoenix group on these forums, they have a stickied listing of most AZ vendors online and brick and mortar shops, mostly in metro Phoenix and Tucson areas, and most of the B&Ms have online shops.

In search of the ultimate tobacco eliquid, I've been ordering samples for everywhere I could find haha. I'll list a few of the places I've ordered from. Some of them haven't arrived so I can't give you a proper review (yet), but at least you'll know a few places you could look.
(btw forgive me if I've repeated some of the vendors names other have listed)

1. Johnsons Creek (has a large following, very highly rated)
2. Heathers Heavenly Vapes (Another beloved vendor of many)
3. S&S Mods (still waiting on them, but apparently they got the good stuff)
4. Want2Vape - 10 samples for 18 bucks! (haven't tried)
5. Hella Vapor - (they have 3 sample specials)
6. Spring Vapor (haven't tried)


I wish you the best in your quest to find the best. Wish me luck too :)

I'm picky about vendors; I need to know their address (separates the garage from bonafide location)

Here's what I found so far, from the suggestions above:
Ordered sampler from HHV
passed on epipe mods - don't care for pipe tobacco
passed on cignot - no 6 mg/mL avail
passed on seduce juice - no street address
passed on Moon mountain vapor - no street address, co is 2 month old
passed on velvet cloud vapor - no address, moving
Indigo vapes ?!?
passed on Mom and Pop's Vapor - no address
passed on Johnson creek - samples at 18 mg/mL, only???
S&S mods - address, check. Samples with great price, and PG/VG ratio choices! No Amex :(
passed on Want2vape - got address. a bit pricey. Free shipping on samples!
Hellavapor - found address. Good prices. shopping cart issue
passed on Spring vapor - found address; residential. No more info.

I've done VERY good since I quit analogs in January, he, he! I saved enough to buy another horse in May (and buy the additional feed)! Not only was it the price of tobacco, and I was buying Drum RYO from the rez, that was a 60 mile round trip to get there! And if we ran out of tobacco, we were stuck hitting up the local gas station for a pouch $$, Yes, I live in the boonies! But having everything shipped to the post office is hella lot cheaper (even though that's a drive of 3 miles of dirt cattle track before you get to pavement, hey, rain, snow, sleet, mud, I can definitely pull that off!)
Good luck on breaking even!
From all the reviews I've been reading, Alice in Vapeland seems to be the bomb, I can't wait to get my samples! (I have samples coming from 8 OTHER places, OMG!) Been a very good customer of Mt. Baker from almost the beginning, but maybe my tastes are maturing or I just want something "different".
The only bummer is this is Labor Day weekend, if only I had set out on my quest last week, I wouldn't have that day or 2 delay with the postal service! :glare:

I am actually inspired to take notes and save email confirmations, etc, on all 9 of the businesses I ordered from so I can post the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I hit up:


Five Pawns
Virgin Vapors
Alice in Vapeland
CCVapes
Seduce Juice
Heather's Heavenly Vapes
Halo
Moon Mountain
Velvet Cloud


I've got order confirmations from all, 8/28, but tracking numbers for my shipments from 7, 8/29 (that even includes Alice, which I thought wouldn't show up so quickly in my inbox).

This is going to be an adventure! Just need to make sure I keep rotating all my batteries to have them fully charged, and clean my tanks, and have enough heads to replace with each new juice. I have a bunch of new carts but I can't seem to get the quality of the vape I want when I fill them, urgh. The taste is totally different, it's finding that sweet spot and I'm not terribly full of patience right now. Been trying them on my Twist, SID and EVic, but can't seem to get the Ohms and voltage calculated well. My Kanger Pro Tank was easy to calculate and adjust. But maybe it's just I'm not getting into the "technical" aspect of it all because I haven't just sat down and READ enough about it to trouble shoot an adjustment. :?:

If you have a phone with an Android OS (Smart Phone) check out Google Play, they have a nice Ohm's Law Calculator that helps immensely. Just have to enter 2 of the 4 variables, the app does the rest. IE, Get Volts to set you device, need Resistance and Watts you want to be at, it will output the Volts and Amps you'll pull once it calculates everything. Juice testing, invest in a simple 1.5-1.8 ohm 510 dripping atomizer and drip tip for it. 2 to 4 drops in the cup, cap the tip on, vape till dry, drip some more, or after a couple vapes, blow it out from the connector end to the dripping end with a paper towel, drip your next liquid, rewind repeat. Pretty durable little attachments, can last 1 to 2 months each depending on your dripping habit =)

I actually just went on Quantum Vapor HQ (Located in New Jersey) and created 3 of my own ejuices that anybody can buy:

1. Reese's Revenge (Everybody's favorite peanut butter candy with a tobacco/caramel twist! Yum!)

2. Off Beat 4 (12 parts almond, 8 parts caramel, 18 parts fresh tobacco. Give it a shot, your taste buds will thank you!)

3. Shell Shocked (A nutty tobacco base, sweetened with pistachio, and just a hint of vanilla. You'll want to eat the whole bottle! (Warning: that is not recommended)

man oh man I hope I made the right measurements of each ingredient haha
I'll let you know how that goes, but its very easy to do and fairly cheap. They also have a bunch of their own creations

This is actually a bit surprising considering I ordered this stuff right before the Labor Day Weekend......CCVapes had an advantage..they're in Arizona!!! LOL! This is just rating their email order confirmation, sent tracking #, ship time, and packaging. After I ordered these and was set to order another random group..........I read the DIY forum......I'm in MAJOR trouble! Don't know if I'll be ordering any more samples, but if anyone wants to add anything and continue the thread, it'd be pretty cool for the newbies so they could "Taste the Rainbow" out there in "VapeLand" or just attach it to thread already on the forum!

Ordered 8/28 Samples

Name * Tracking * Ship Date * Received * Ship Rating


Five Pawns 94055096999387646XXXXX 8/29 8/31 A+

Cardboard USPS box, Very cool interior package, cylindrical container with the Five Pawns Logo, glass sample bottles inside, also a "Tasting Note" on the samples and their "Story". Very Macho.

Virgin Vapor 94001102008309373XXXXX 8/29 B- pending

Alice IV 94001118995608150XXXXX 8/29 8/31 A+

Serious FUN!!!!! Cardboard Shipping package is even cool! And really, there was no wait, they seemed to get right on the order! AIV playing card, shredded color paper, and a personalized "Thank You!" Plastic bottles. If their juice is anything like their "personal touch" packaging, they've got a winner! (I just may be online when AIV opens this evening, Oh NO!)

CCVapes 94001118995608739XXXXX 8/29 8/30 A

This company had the "Home Team" advantage, coming out of Queen Creek, Arizona, basic bubble/manila shipping pkg, but it got here the next day. All enclosed in a ziploc. Basic packaging, plastic bottles, Good job, but we'll see how they vape! (Arizona Ice Tea is pretty tasty!)

Seduce J 94001102008838982XXXXX 8/29 B- pending

HHV 94001118995608761XXXXX 8/29 8/31 A

Bubble/manila shipping pkg.....Ok, the samples have purple lids! Plastic bottles, All were enclosed in a small ziplock bag. Basic packaging, Good job! Can't give them A + cause it didn't have that "OMG" factor, but we'll see how the juices are!

Halo 94001118995608704XXXXX 8/29 8/31 A+

Yep, another "OMG". USPS box, very cool can, with "Halo" logo and carefully tucked into an inner foam insert are 6 samples...kind of like an "Anvil Case" for samples. Very Macho. Plastic bottles, 2 enclosed "cards, one on "taste" changes, the other a "Pledge" card.

Moon Mtn 94001102008298827XXXXX 8/30 B- pending

Velvet Cld C- pending

Ok, no tracking #, no confirmation, these guys aren't starting off very good......

So that's where I'm at right now, going to check out some Zombie and White Rabbit from Alice......and just might be falling down the rabbit hole this evening! Will add the final results from the straggles when they show up!
