Taste is so subjective, isn't it? I'm still so new that I do still enjoy tobacco vapes.......a lot. I switch between a creamy or fruity vape to a tobacco one just to 'rest' my tastebuds a bit. Nicoticket's Creme Brûlée is one of my ADVs and then when I tried ECBlends' Kettle Corn, I literally fell in love. That stuff I can vape day after day! As far as you liking fruit flavors, Lime Cream and Orange Creamsicle from Ahlusion are very good (also have Kona Kick which is great). I haven't ordered from them yet, but have heard that Highbrow's Cheesecake Torte and their Blueberry (even mixed together), as well as their Strawberry Lemonade is VERY good. And also heard that Boba's Bounty and Gorilla juice are great. They are in my mailbox right now......yay! Good luck.

Curious to which juice you ordered from Ahlusion? Never really liked BWB that much, but haven't tried Casablanca yet (which seems to be their top seller). It was always out of stock. Smooth Criminal from Ahlusion is my ADV at the moment. It's weird though when You get free 10ml samples with orders of $20 and over, my samples kind of taste the same. The last three times, three different samples and they all kind of taste the same or very similar to me.

Perhaps they need to steep a while before I open them. Deal Maker, Desperado and Boba Tea were the samples. Jungle juice was ok with very slight banana flavor on the finish and exhale. Wish I could just order a sample pack of 10-15 flavors from them. Mt. Baker Vapor was also not a favorite, found their juice to be very artificial tasting. And refuse to order juice that is above or close to $1 per ml like 5 pawns just because it's insulting and elitist marketing. I could understand the price if extracting from some fine Cuban cigars or very rare and or hard to get materials.

It's been my experience that Ahlusion's juices do require steeping. Some for a few week, some longer. Because I have so much other good juices on hand, it's not hard for me to order, and just crack them open every day for a few weeks before using them.

When I have one I really like, that's a long steeper, I order long before I'm out of that flavor, so that when I finally finish what I'm using, the new bottle is already steeped and ready to go.

I see some folks give up after a few days or a couple weeks of steeping, particularly Ahlusion's, and believing that it's just not a good juice, when I know that the magic comes later.

Maybe that's why on Ahlusion's website, they recommend you've been vaping a year before trying them, because they know someone vaping that long has the experience of knowing that like a fine wine, some juices just can't be rushed. :)

I'd suggest Copper Creek (shopcoppercreek.com). Try their House Blend, and any of the Danish (raspberry Danish in particular, for me). Since you like fruit flavors, I would also highly recommend their black raspberry, blueberry, and banana.

I've tried a ton of juice vendors, and these days 80% of what I vape comes from them.

I have been vaping for about 3 years also. One of the first I ever tried is one I still never want to be without is from Backwoods Brew. 555 Exotic, the only other that I really crave is also a BWB juice Casablanca. I've tried many others that I like, but those are my 2 must haves.
actually 555 juices were my first choice when I first started vaping. I remember ordering 555 from just about every vendor out there. I did try bwb's 555 & Casablanca, although I did enjoy their 555 I didn't like the much acclaimed Casablanca at all, to me it tasted like celery. my favorite 555 at the time was from avid vapors, their premium line.

last year I ordered sweet surrender from allusion but seemed to have to much coconut in it. although I didn't like the flavor I could tell that their juices seemed different. i just ordered about 5 juices from them, should be receiving them soon, hopefully one of these will be great.

have tried highbrows caramel & tiramiso didn't like either at all. have tried a few from alien visions and the only one i kind of liked is boba's bounty, its a good juice but not my cup of tea. nicktickets crème brule & vanilla custard are good juices, have vaped both and enjoyed them, the only issue was that within 2 weeks i didn't like them anymore, they just got to sickly and sweet. kettle corn from ec blends sounds good, i ll put this on the list, thanks

Tasty Vapor <3

have tried tastey fingers and prailenes from them. really liked the tastey finger and went through a 30ml bottle, i re-ordered the same juice but have gone off of it, maybe just to sweet. so yes, some juices i like at first but cant vape it a lot, while some juices i can vape for a long time and don't really get sick of it, tastey finger was one of those i couldn't vape for a long time.

I felt the same for the exact two flavors. I've been vaping Alien Blood quite a bit and can't get tired of it. Right now I'm vaping Blueberry Cheesecake and after a week of steeping it tastes spot on! Zombie Brain Hemorrhage is great too. Also might want to try Beaver .... Boogie.

no doubt that steeping intensifies flavor. my all day vape is definitely better after a month then when it first arrives. as a matter of fact all my current juices taste better after a few weeks of steeping. but from my experiences, i have never tasted a juice within the first week and didn't like it at all but when i re tried 3 weeks later, or longer, i really liked it. maybe there is a juice like that, where it not good at all until it steeps for a month or so, i just haven't found this to be true. i have tried a juice right out of the box and kind of liked it, and it had gotten a lot better after steeping, but never had one that i didn't like and then really liked after time. so for me, i can get a good idea if im going to like something within the first 2 weeks of arriving. i remember buying a juice from VV and thinking it was disgusting, i re tried after a month and thought, now it is more disgusting, anyways i had heard people saying it took a couple months of steeping so i tried the very same bottle 3 months after receiving it, still a bad juice.

Forgot to mention Irish Cream. It's definitely one to try.

that sounds pretty good. i do like some coffee flavors. tbh i don't have a particular like in juices, some like fruity, some like desserts, etc. i like pretty much like all types except true tobacco's. as long as the juice is good, i like it, i just haven't found a truly great juice yet. i don't know why i expect a great juice at all because i was totally happy smoking cigarettes which had a crappy taste and it was the same for 35 years. now, for some reason i am not happy with flavors, why is this? maybe because there are so many to choose from? or maybe i haven't anything better to do then to waste my money? i wish i was like my wife, she has been vaping the same juice for 3 years and is very happy with it, she even vapes all my reject juices, the ones i want to throw away.

If you like tobacco's and want to give Ahlusion another shot, Smooth Criminal starts out just meh. 2 months later, the magic happens.

I do hope you try and like Kettle Corn. Hopefully, you'll be glad you did. I was surprised I liked it as much as I did. I just ordered it to try something a little different and I'm SO glad I did! Popcorn, butter, a little sweet and salty........I know I'm not doing it justice.

I have tried 30+ vendors at this point and decided the first vendor I really liked, I would be sticking with because I had spent so much money trying to find that perfect vape.

Well the two I use now are Tasty Vapor and Kick Bass Vapor.

Never received anything from these two that I didn't like and their Customer Service is fantastic.

When I order I usually have my package in 3 days and that means alot to me.

My ADV right now are Ultimate Vanilla from Tasty Vapor and Gooey Better Cake from Kick Bass.

Their prices are really reasonable too.

I have received some juices that were just crap and thrown away many that just didn't get any better with steeping.

I really appreciate the fact that with these two vendors, I know I will get a Quality product and quickly if I need it.

Also, I never have to steep Tasty Vapor, it's great right out of the mail.

I think I have received only one from Kick Bass that needed steeping, but only for a week, not months like some vendors.

Halo juices are really good too, but a bit higher priced and they don't have many of the dessert and bakery flavors.

Hope this helps.

Cindy
