I will offer a tiny bit of advice, from someone who's been vaping a few years and recently gave away an enormous quantity of juices that I'd over-accumulated during the first few years until I found "my own" couple of vendors. (Some of this repeats what others have said here):
1. Read the reviews in this forum. Taste is mighty subjective, but (and truly no offense to wonderful enthusiastic newbies who might very well have stumbled on the best juice in the universe at third purchase!) a juice admired by someone who's already blown a couple of thousand bucks on 50 vendors, along with some consensus on that, might save you a lot of time and money. No guarantees, but it's something.
2.Buy samples, small quantities, small bottles. There are exceptions for sure, but I've found that if I really dislike 3 samples from the same vendor, I'm not going to like the rest.
3. Try to get a sense for how committed a vendor is to quality from the website. If they talk about ingredients in some detail, that's a good sign. For me, for instance, if I see that they're using rigid plastic or glass bottles, it means that they're paying attention to health concerns. I pay attention to packaging and labels, too. That sort of thing often adds up to more attention in the taste department.
4. I wish I'd upgraded my gear more frequently earlier on when I was tasting everything out there - I was more excited about spending my money on yummy juices, and when I did upgrade it was often impulsively because of a few enthusiasts. I research the heck out of everything now, including juices, in this magnificently overwhelming but wildly helpful forum. A little savvy there goes a long way toward finding the right juice, IMHO.
Sorry if I over-wrote! I'm feeling talky tonite. Have fun!
