I've noticed that some newcomers are losing money here and there because of trying to find any e-liquid(s) that is enjoyable and to their liking. I have yet to spend over my "analog budget", so I figured that perhaps this thread can help. A few suggestions might also help, as well as a few vendors to help direct a newcomer. (( I have NO EXPERIENCE in DIY and I really do not recommend any newcomers to try it without at least sampling some vendors' e-liquids. It can be DANGEROUS! Therefore, I have no flavor vendors or nicotine vendors for DIY listed! )) My goal with this thread is to get juice-buying info all in one thread to make it much easier. IF I AM MISSING ANYTHING, PLEASE POST SOME MORE INFO!
Let me just say that I am a picky, picky vaper. If you're feeling frustrated, feel free to PM me because I know how you feel. I'll help you out as much as I can, and so will other ECFers.
We will help you find some flavors that will help you on your vaping journey!
The most important thing is to find something you really enjoy, of course. The best way to truly find out is to just up and buy SMALL QUANTITIES of juice! Samples, samples, samples. I have never bought a large quantity of juice without getting a sample and spending time with it! If you don't like your sample right away, let it steep. If you still don't like it, you lose a few bucks. A few dollars versus fifteen dollars will make a difference. Buying in bulk is great as long as you know you like it. Also, do not be afraid to try a flavor that you might like but is "weird to vape"; obviously, though, if you don't like... say, banana ANYTHING, I wouldn't recommend going for banana flavors. For instance, I bought a sample of Waffle, and though I don't vape it anymore, I bought it in bulk when I did like it. I never thought I'd like to vape waffles of all things, but for a while I really enjoyed it. The same with Snickerdoodle, and now I'm a Snickerdoodle e-liquid fanatic. Do a little bit of research on the vendor, too. This is important because there are some vendors that will rob you of cash with low-quality e-liquid. Check out different vendors for prices and read the reviews both on here and on the site, since it could help in any means.
If you're still really unsure about placing down the dollars (or you have and don't like the juice), check out these ECF groups:
1) Pay-it-forward is a great way to either get rid of juices you don't like for a trade of different juices to try out. There's a P.I.F. group and a P.I.F. group for those in the U.K.
2) The P.I.F. group also has a P.I.F. Treasure Chest to either give away juice without a trade, or to just make an offer on other juices without a trade.
3) The Classified section is also a great way to get some used or even brand new juice/gear from other ECFers. It's a great way to also meet people and ask questions about vaping in general.
4) A great way to get some info and feedback on a few vendors is to scroll down on the main ECF Forum page and click on some of the vendors there. Another place for info/feedback is to go to the Suppliers Forum on ECF. The Suppliers forum have threads about suppliers in certain countries, new vendors that have popped up, and other useful information.
5)The vendors I'm listing have samples available to try. Some vendors to check out:
Vape-a-licious Juice: This is my primary vendor
Very great service and excellent selection of juices, which is why VAL has become my primary vendor. Candy's juices fit my very picky taste-buds! My favorites are: Snickerdoodle, STL Gooey Butter Cake, and Peach Bellini Tea.
Sweet-Vapes: Excellent deals on samples! The bulk bottles (15-30mls) are a bit on the pricey side, but the juices are very tasty! This is my secondary vendor, with GREAT coffee flavors! My favorites are Kona Cream and Starbuckets Espresso.
Backwoods Brew: Definitely an ECF favorite on here! The smallest size is a 10ml but for around $6 bucks, that's a good deal to try a new juice!
Alien Visions E-Juice: Great for VG lovers, while there are mixes with PG in them.
Kick Bass Vapors: Another ECF favorite, the prices are easy on the wallet, and good service.
Want2vape: A nice selection of flavors, with a great sampler deal!
Vermillion River E-Juice: A great selection of TOBACCO JUICES! Sample bottles are definitely available!
ECFers, please by all means, add more vendors! Heck, you can even add some of your favorite juices, too!
