Juice "Rant"

[dgreen]

I'm sure Im not the only one but here goes.

I am so frustrated with the overall process of trying new e juices. I know everyone has different tastes and so on, but its a pain in the a**. I read countless reviews on juices that sound so good, only to be let down when I try them. Maybe I am too picky, but it just seems like I am throwing my money down the drain. I am constantly buying, then selling here on the forums. Then the process starts all over again. Some of the names are so darn mis-leading as well. I tried some "Newport" that gave me an extreme mint taste, tasted nothing like "Newport" one bit. I could eat an entire thing of Tic Tacs and not get such a stong mint taste as I did with that juice.

My biggest disappointment so far was Rath French Toast. I read so many good reviews on this. There was no flavor at all, vapor wasnt consistent, no TH which I can understand at 16mg. Now from one bad expience I am afraid to try any Rath juice if it was anything like French Toast.

My biggest advise for suppliers. Either sell sample bottles for resonable prices or include free samples when people place a decent orders (which many of you do and is greatly appreciated). I find myself returning to buy larger bottles of juice that was sent to me as a free sample.

Thanks for readin!!!

Have you ever thought about diy juice then you would always know what you were getting cause you would be making it.

Nope, you're not the only one. I've spent a ton of $$$ trying to find juice flavors I like - including from 2 vendors who are generally considered the best of the best on here and with 15 bottles - there was not one that would go into my "everyday vape" category.



I just placed an order from another juice vendor - bought 6 flavors (because he DOES offer samples) and if I don't like any of them I am never again buying a juice to try.

go with suppyers with sample packs its always a help

 

[Dudeman]

I agree. A very high number of juices don't even come close the their respective names. This is mostly only true with tobacco flavors for me. I have quite a stockpile of 10ml bottles that I'll either end up giving away, or slowly mixing with flavors I do like, or mixing with plain pg/vg and unflavored nic juice just so they don't go to waste.
The biggest problem I have now that I've found a couple all day vapes is that the ones I really like are always being sold out.

I'm with you on this 5card.....I never did spend money on much juice. Last summer when I first started vaping I bought 3 or 4 bottles and realized I would save a TON of money just making it myself. So I dove into the DIY forum and never looked back....

There are so many different things that effect the way a liquid tastes that you'll never find anything that makes everyone happy. Unfortunately the vendors/manufacturers don't have any better ESP about what each customer will like than the customers themselves have about how each liquid will end up tasting to them.

I just got a friend of mine to start vaping, he smokes marlboro menthol. He got the menthol juice from mad vapes and really likes it, says it tastes like the real thing.
Menthol, 16mg

 

[keyzygirl]

get a few bottles of flavoring and add it to the flavors you dont like.Sometimes it turns out great!!Nothing to loose if its yucky anyways!!

 

[Katattack]

I know what you mean. I'm having issues finding flavors I like as well. A few kind people have offered to send me samples from their personal stashes and I've traded some of the "don't like" for things I haven't tried.

Have you guys tried Tasty Vapor E-Liquids - 1 oz. Bottle Bannanas Foster? I think I like it best so far but I have a sweet tooth.

I just opened a package from them and am vaping German Chocolate Cake I must say it's very nice, mellow and not too sweet at all. I can't wait to try the Tastyfinger I have sitting here.

I find most other e juice tastes like wet ... when compared to Tasty Vapors stuff.
8-o

Now if my darn new PV would just get here!

Oh, and if you have tried TV before and have a bottle sitting around try it again it ages like wine!

 

[clownfish159]

I was getting ready to recommend tasty vapor. They are INSANELY good!

 

[THeGAMe]

Im relying on you guys here too..

Im not a flavor type of user, but prefer tobacco. So buying a sample pack is a total waste as not many suppliers have more than just a few tobacco. Im also not going to spend alot trying to find the sweet spot as the Blu tobacco is ok. Ill try a few different ones every so often, but Blu is going to be my fallback.

Wanna trade some small samples? Yes I have tried TV and there juices have great flavor. I didn't like the bananas foster because I don't like the "red hot" cinnamon taste. I like cinnamon just not "red hots". I have been dying to try German Choc Cake and Tastyfinger but I think I'm scared of wasting more money on large juice sizes.

My predicament now is that I only have one e-juice that tastes real (aside from Tasty Puff drops) and that's "Atomic Cinnacide" from TV and I've been using that for a week. A week ago I ordered the "Tastyfinger" from TV and I should have gotten it last week but I tracked it and it says "missent" so I won't be getting it. I e-mailed Geoff at TV twice and he has not replied, and then happened to go on their site and he says they are backedUP in orders.

Thank goodness for this site because I ordered from Gourmet Vapor but I still have to wait on that.

The problem is I have tried so many e-juices from different sites and they taste NOTHING like the description. It's a total waste of money to pay for different e-juices and they all taste the same- no taste.

Even some flavors I've gotten from DIYflavorshack have no taste, so that is why I switched to TV but they are really backed up now.

I hope what I ordered from Gourmet Vapor has some taste to it.

Tasty Vapor is so backed up because they're the only one doing it right. Everyone has different likes and dislikes but his flavors are all right on. He has a background in cooking and knows what he's doing. One thing to keep in mind, generally speaking, if you don't enjoy eating it you probably won't enjoy vaping it.

It would be a shame to limit yourself and not get the pleasure of vaping wonderful flavors. It's another dimension to vaping that you're missing out on, but it does get expensive.

On the other hand what worries me is the new juice vendors popping up that see the opportunity to make money and we have no idea what sanitary conditions they have in place.

In fairness I have only started but I have smoked a hookah for a long time and find that the best flavor's for smoke are items that have strong flavors or smells. I have tried things like pina colada (sp?) and found that these have next to no taste as either does pina colada. But things like cinnamon, mint, coffee and others tend to be the best tasting, providing you like the taste of the food/drink in question.

 

[Lightgeoduck]

Yes I have spent some money on juices but only out of curiosity and to learn the differences....
Yes I LOVE some
Yes I HATED others
Yes some were HELLA strong
Yes some were HELLA weak


I understand wanting to find a great flavor, BUT is it really THAT important?
I understand about the TH, but even is it doesn't taste exactly like one food product is that soo bad?


OK if you are in the quest just for the adventure I understand the importance
I am talking more on the lines if you don't want to spend so much money.


It seems sometimes people go from one extreme to another and things can go overboard (guilty as well ) Its hard for me to believe that every juice one purchases (different types and different vendors ) that it is total skunk.

if all else fails be satisfied with unflavored High nic juice... i mean it has to be better tasting than an ashtray? well maybe doesn't have to be,, but you get my point...


as far as tobacco flavors... it will not ever taste EXACTLY the same unless they add ash to the mix

any way I know where you are coming from,,, just adding a little balance to a mild rant



Good Day

 

[Rockalot]

dgreen, I am going through this stuff to fast to trade samples...lol

But hey man, TV has Tastyfinger on sale for 10 bucks a bottle this week and you can't go wrong with that!

Not to slam TV in any way but why would you make such statements and try to make them sound like fact when they are obviously just your opinion.
