Hi, oh I understand that completely! I used to be the same way! Now I make my own juice and it's working out wonderfully! I'm saving lots of money. The best part is when I get a craving, I will just whip up that particular flavor! It tastes great and it's easier than you think to do! I'm adding to my flavors as I go but currently I have about a hundred and fifty flavors. I'll try out the small flavors first and if I like them I will go on to buy a larger bottle. The small flavors are only about a dollar each and the large bottles are around 3 dollars. Start up cost is not bad either for the supplies you need. The most expensive thing is the nicotine at around 35 dollaes. You can get a giant jug of pg an vg for about 16 dollars each. Then the empty bottles can be bought in bulk for about 6 dollars for 50. That's about all you need to do it yourself. I'm so glad that I started doing it myself becsuse I can make it exactly like I like it. Most importantly, I save a lot of money! You might want to consider doing it yourself if you are going though a lot of juice, it is rewarding and fun!

Am I the only one with a huge addiction to ordering new flavors constantly? I'm reading all reviews and totally getting addicted to this new way of life.... Is this healthy???:)

I have to say yes, it is healthy. At least more healthy than smoking. Between my wife and I we have 8 devices including our two original egos the rest APV's. So I don't spend money on new shinny things, except for the needed coils. I do buy juice and DIY products. I spent almost $100 this month, seems like a lot at one time, but it is far less than the cost of cigs, and by far much better for you.

I probably ask you before, but if you don't mind what part of Id are you in. I used to live in TF and still have family there.
Diy is the way to go, but I like the ease of just filling the tank too.

I used to be sample crazy, I felt I needed to try a wide variety to know what I liked. Which isn't really true, you already know what flavors you like. If you eat processed food, you probably know what flavorings you like as well.

DIY, besides being cheaper, is so insanely fun. I made a S'mores juice the other day. It tastes likes S'mores, dude, and I did it myself on a whim because I happened to have the right bottles in front of me. I'm stupidly proud of it, and I'm ashamed of how much I spend on juice before I decided to spend a bit more up front and make my own for literally pennies per mL. But hey, if you can afford to spend upwards of $1 per mL, then by all means support your favorite vendors, they deserve it! Before I made my own juice I bought the expensive stuff, because it tended to be damn good.

Mind pointing a newb in the direction of figuring out how to DIY? Saving money would be great but I'm most interested in the creative freedom. I'm constantly mixing vendor juices together out of curiosity, so it would be great to do it for even cheaper and with more control over flavors.

Especially since 9 times out of 10 the juice ends up tasting like wet fart and I throw away around $5 worth of juice.

way back when i was a juice ....., but have narrowed it down to 3. VaporBeast Pina Colada and Peach Melon and Alien Vapor's Boba's (no flames, can't stand Visions 100% VG version). And i have one of our local B&M Watermelon Chiller which is a VERY strong watermelon menthol, that i use to clear my palate after things start tasting meh! that stuff will clean your mouth, taste buds, and whatever else with just a few puffs!
So i'm satisfied with the minimum now, but back in the day, when vaping first began, i had 20-30 different brands/flavors, most went to waste.

I'm guilty of flavor chasing myself. I have my go-to cig replacement juice. Halo Purity Tribeca 24mg in a Aerotank on a VTR. Other than that, I'm mainly on mechs with Kayfuns...dripping sometimes. On Sunday, I bought 120mls of my fave juice ever...G'Pa's Vape Sauce Tombstone from EC Vape outside of Ft. Worth. Monday, I bought 120mls (4 bottles) of Lazarus Vintage from my local shop.

I'm a juice ..... too. My latest fixation is Bionic Vapor. Probably some of the most complex flavors I've ever had, and simply fantastic.

I was thinking about trying them just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Payday=juice day. What's great is there are usually some good sales going on to feed my addidtion. :)

Don't feel bad. I've purcahsed about 500ml's over a two month span and have probably found only 3-4 flavors I absolutely love. You can always trade with fellow vapors or let them rest for a while and revisit them. They may taste better after some time. :)

I trade with a woman I met who works at Chick Fil A. She saw me vaping while I was going through the drive-thru and now we trade our "dislikes" on Wednesdays when I stop by in the morning for my spicy chicken biscuit. Any of hers that I also dislike I send across the country to my cousin who never has enough money for juice since he spends all of it on mods. :facepalm:

I'm in the same boat. I do a lot of research before I buy to avoid getting crappy flavors. I'm waiting to get my hands on the Phillip Rocke Grand Reserve Crème De La Crème

I want to try that stuff!

Even if it were available, I have too big of a stockpile to justify buying any more right now. I went crazy for awhile and now have a bunch I'm no longer even excited about.
