Looking for a couple of different online stores to buy juice from. Any recommendations? Also relatively new to vaping. Suggestions on brands or flavors to stay away from?
Before I started mixing my own flavors, I ordered from EC Blend. They will even custom mix whatever you like. Just keep in mind sometimes it needs to steep for a few days so all the flavors will meld together well.

Hi and welcome,
Where are you located?
What device are you using?(mod/topper?)
How long did you smoke and how many per day?
Are you still smoking?
What flavours have you tried/liked?
Avoid "savory" flavours. (roast chicken,bacon,pizza,ketchup, etc.)

Cheers
I

I've always wondered about DIY juices. I just have too much going on to try it but I've always wanted to. Is it relatively easy? I'm somewhat new to all of this...

You just get your nic and whatever flavors you like, then add pg and vg. Shake it, forget about it, come back after 10 days and taste it.

Oh, btw, it'll be the worst thing you've ever tasted in your entire existence. So also give yourself a few tries to get things right.

I run a couple different mods. Right now I run the DROP rda on the SMOK Alien 220w, and the SMOK Devilkin 225w kit with the prince bubble tank and the mesh coil. I also have a wismec reuleaux rx75 I dont use as often.

Also I smoked for 5 years. At my most up to a pack and a half a day. I've tried a variety of the names juices from my local shop. But my favorite so far has been from shijin, their tortoise blood. Located out of Michigan.

Super easy and incredibly cheap. I throw together a bottle in about 5 min. Mine is less than $1.50 per 30ml. If you try to research it, it looks daunting, because so many make it out like it has to be as exacting as life or death pharmaceuticals, requiring a lot of equipment. (Helpful Hint: It doesn't;)).

Here's a post I made a while back about how I do it. But I only do single flavor tobaccos, so that's as simple as it gets unless you vape unflavored. There are plenty of recipes out there if you like candy, fruit, cereal, bakery, or other flavors, but the process would be similar.
Closest vaping experience to analogs

DIY is pretty straightforward. You can learn a lot from our DIY subforum when you've got a few minutes to check it out.

Here's a starter tip: A lot of people buy a handful of flavours that appeal to them and then wonder what they can make with them. This does not tend to be successful! A better approach is to find some recipes that sound good and buy the flavours you need to make them. From there you can tweak the recipes to suit your taste. Making up a whole new recipe is best left until you're more familiar with the process.

Good luck!

I don't buy much commercial juice but my husband liked Heather's Heavenly Vape offerings, they do a nice naturally extracted tobacco series that well isn't too gunky or heavy (as well as other things).

DIY, once you get started and going, well, it does get easy. There is something of a learning curve when you start and you mentioned you were busy so I would poke abound the DIY forum for a while to get a sense of what you will need to get started. I'd also probably recommend purchasing some one shot flavors that are designed to be added as premade recipes to your base of nicotine, PG and VG. Some are very good and most can pretty much be shaken and vaped, so it may be a nice way to get going as you are figuring out and planning your recipes as you go so that you aren't having a super laborious process with everything. DIY is a lot of fun though as well, but since you are relatively new to vaping well one shots are kind of an easy transition so to speak.

Good luck,

Anna

I'm one of the few who doesn't DIY (tried it for a little while, and had some decent results, but I just enjoy juice shopping too much! I'm like a kid in a candy store! Haha). Most of my online orders come from Giant Vapes, Element Vape, or Eight Vape - there is a lot of overlap on the juices they all carry, but each site has some offerings the other two don't have. All three of those sites will provide you with an incredible amount of options. My favorite line of juice, currently, is the Glas Basix Series, but there are several others that are right up there. If you are like me, and you enjoy the variety, just dive in and have fun! I've been vaping for around 6 years now and I never get tired of trying new juice!

Oh yeah, a couple of others have already mentioned them, but Heather's Heavenly Vapes and Highbrow Vapor are excellent as well, they just aren't available at any of the sites I listed above. Happy hunting!
