I have been vaping for about 5 months and I have developed a habit other than vaping lol I am always on a search for "THAT" juice.....I will buy from several vendors, tell myself that I won't order for a while, as soon as my vape mail arrives, I am in search of the next vendor.....I will slow down for a bit when I find a really good one and of course I have my regulars that I always order from, but it never stops me from trying new ones...anyone else do this or am I alone? :facepalm:

So far I have ordered a bunch of samples from a new vendor about every month. Still looking for that perfect vape. Like someone else once said, it's like a princess kissing a bunch of frogs hoping to find a prince. To date I've found an earl or two, and a duke or two, but mostly just plain frogs...and certainly no princes.

I have been lucky enough to have this forum for my research and to make the right choices....I like everything I have purchased so far...I could have stopped with HHV since I love all ther tobacco flavors and even find their flavored ones decent enough to vape...but I didnt ..I just made my 3rd purchase in 2 weeks from MOV and enjoying every one of theirs.....Even the black forest, which I wasn't fan of is getting tasty with age...I tried Vermillion River's sample pack and enjoy their stuff....Especially the vanilla blend and the carmelized cap...All this and my AIV hasn't even arrived yet......and want more !!!!!....haha...I tallied up the totals since I started ordering on 12/20....Here it is

HHV ......$93..............174 ml..........2, 4 pack samplers and 5, 30 ml bottles
MOV...... 110.66.........210...............10, 15 ml and 2, 30 ml bottles
AIV..........23.90...........21...............1, 5 pack sampler and 2 from the C room
VR...........26.20...........31.5.............1, 6 pac sampler and 1 free sample

TTl..........$253.76..........436.5 ml.....That comes to 14.55, 30 ml bottles...Like a years worth of juice.....Comes to $17.44 a 30 ml bottle... Seems kinda pricey but that is mainly because of the price of the little samples...

My point is, I want more.....I know too much from this forum...So a good thing went bad...Like how my juices will get if I buy more...haha...I want to try Backwoods brew, Highbrow,Plume Room, AVE.....I could go on and on.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..:)

A friend of mine refers to it as flavor chasing. He says it as if it's a bad thing. Of course, he has vaped the same black cherry juice for over 2 years, day in and day out. Me, I think it's been so much fun to try different flavors. Frustrating sometimes because I found I couldn't use most of them because I'm highly sensitive to PG and it was difficult at first to find vendors who truly know how to make a good 100% VG juice. But now that I have some vendors and juices i like, I'm happy as a cat and willing to try more. i love having the variety. As long as it isn't taking away from other financial obligations, I see nothing wrong with it.

lmbo I think there are a LOT of us that need help! Highbrow and Backwoods brew are also on my list to try....I have already tried AVE and I really liked them...only problem was Bobas bounty seemed to lose its flavor 10 minutes into vaping it, no matter what device I used...same result! I can come back in a day or so and the flavor is back...for 10 minutes lol my taste buds seem to shut down quickly to it for some reason.

Sunshine, did you just start vaping in October? For me, about a month into vaping, my tastebuds started acting weird on and off for another 6 or 8 weeks. Then, all of a sudden I could taste like there's no tomorrow, almost to the extreme. Especially sweet stuff, all seemed too sweet. Now, it's pretty much settled into what I hope is "normal" for the past month or so. I started vaping the end of July.

I have been vaping since August.....I too had problems for a while. In the first few weeks I would lose my sense of taste completely for days at a time! I almost gave up. For about the last 2 months I haven't had any problems at all with any other juice. For some strange reason, it is only bobas bounty...odd huh?

Yes, it is odd. How long have you been trying Bobas? Here's my saga of Bobas - when I first got, OMG I thought it was the most horrid juice I'd ever tasted. It burnt my tongue with a black pepper taste, but it had some background flavor that kept making me want to try it again. Especially since everyone else described it as being like honey and graham crackers. Well, after trying it every couple of days for about 2 weeks, then it started tasting sort of prune-ish or like Dr. Pepper softdrink, but still had that bitey pepper taste to it, as well. Then, a couple weeks later - OMG, it tasted like pure dark honey. I couldn't get enough of it. I would also lose the flavor after about half a day. Then, I got a little tired of it (the too sweet period of my vaping) and I put it away. Last week, I dug it out again to try and I taste honey graham crackers. I vaped it the whole day and it still tasted good.

I have had bobas for about a month, and it has changed flavor for me as well over time...at first it was honey and raisins....next, it was more of a dark honey (no raisins) then, it was a dark honey with a slight spice to it (Dr. pepper is a good description) and the other day, for the first time I tasted coconut :ohmy: I am not liking it as much lately because I am getting a really LOUD artificial sweetener taste, sort of the after taste of a diet soda... so I guess the 10 minutes at a time will work for me lol
