I am going to have to take goodejuice's VITA BELLA out of the hall of shame. The juice has gotten better over the last few days. I would have to say at this point the juice is about average. It has a decent taste but it still flows like water and is a instant carto killer.

I do not think I mentioned 3 juices I picked up 2 months ago from health cabin. They were 3 DEKANG juices and the 3 go right into my hall of shame. They smell like urine and do not taste any better.

Just found this thread and must say Frankster that you crack me up! You get straight to the point, give your honest opinion (no fanboy bs), and okay sometimes harsh but too bad if people don't like it! This thread is a great way for people to find other's with similar taste so we can make better personal choices.

I must be extremely picky because I have tried soooo many juices and have only reordered from 3 vendors. I am going broke buying juice than ends up in the trash. Yes, I know I can put them in classifieds but who has the time to deal with that crap when most my time is spent researching juice and equipment not to mention house, family, kids, pets, job, life......! Maybe someone can help me find some juices I will like.

I know the health risks, the stench, etc, blah, blah, blah - but at least for me smoking was so much easier, satisfying, faster and cheaper. I'm not going back to analogs but I find this to be a RPITA!!!

I know steeping time sucks but I have found it can make a huge difference. After 4-6 weeks though it goes in the trash. I really want(ed) tobacco and Ry4 but most of them ended up in the trash and I can't think of their names right now. This is part of my current stash:

Fame:
KBV - OMG
CC - house blend and buttered rum
The Vapor Girl - watermelon, dirty hortchata, autumn berry and vanilla tobacco - She makes her juices at 12mg but will custom blend and makes mine at 24mg and next time I'm going to order extra tobacco in the vt.
Bloog (which no one seems to talk about) - I like their Red but it is 100%pg which upsets my stomach if I vape a lot of it
BWB - maple tobacco

Mediocrity - might order a couple again:
KBV - phillips, candy bar
Mrs. T's - snickerdoodle cookie, sugar cookie
AVE - boba's
BWB - caramel cap, malty toffee, cherry tobacco
FSUSA - Cuban
Echopure Rich - I can vape if mixed with other flavors like vanilla or caramel

Shame
BWB - casablanca
CC - twisted tobacco, voodoo, blackberry lemonade
Mrs. T's - 4 different chocolate blends
KBV - special k, RY4
AVE - gorilla juice
JC - tennessee cured, black cherry
Dekang - RY4
Blue Mist - Can't remember which flavors. I may have decided too quickly as these were some of my first juices and after a week I threw them all out. Many people recommend so I wish I had let them steep before I decided they were trash.

I recently thought maybe I would prefer organic, natural or WTA so I now have some Vaperite, Vapelicious and Aroma Juice steeping. Hope they improve because as of now I think I just blew another $75.

I also just ordered a bunch from Mom & Pop and KBV.

I have been vaping Bounty Hunter for about a day now and I think this one is going right into my hall of fame. Taste great, plenty of vapor and th. Tasted great right out of the box and thus far has handled a carto well. At .30 vents per ml, you cannot go wrong with this one. It taste very similar to Madagascar Vanilla from Vaperite.

A word on Vaperite's Natural Extracted Tobaccos. I cannot even get a day with these without destroying my carto. They are that thin. Does anyone know if there is some reason why more vg cannot be added to these juices? I love the taste but they are useless unless they can perform. I even had added them to other juices and the result is always the same. I know it is not my cartos because all other juices work fine. Bounty Hunter is great, if you have not tried it...go get it!

I'm glad you liked the Bounty Hunter. Seems like you drafted the right 5-tool "prospect" after all. ;)

You should try NLV's Gold and Vanilla Strait. I think they're in the same "ballpark" as the BH; all in my HOF.

Nice thread. I was wondering how do you guys try out new juices. I have only been doing this for 1 1/2 months so very much a noob. I vape all my juices on either LR or SR Boge cartos. The thing is, if it's a juice I don't like, I have pretty much wasted a carto.There must be a cheaper, easier way to taste new flavors. What about just dripping into an atty to taste different flavors?, will that work better?

Thanks for your help

An atomizer is how I test new flavors. You can get a drip tip for the atomizer. 3 - 5 drops of liquid.

Thanks for answering. But do you clean the atty between juices? Or do you just vape it until there's no more flavor and then drip a new juice?

Sometimes I just blow out all the excess juice. Other times I put PG in it and blow it out, then more PV and vape it until it's tasteless. You can also soak it in vodka, then blow it out.

Oops, type. It was supposed to be more PG not PV

I am not getting what you are...my juice from vaperite is like water...it does not clog the carto, the filler does not hold the juice...it goes right through and you get a dry burn after about an hour...when I mix it with something else, I get that ashtray taste and the carto goes in a few hours. I cannot believe that everyone is not having this problem.

I used this juice in 3 different type cartos and the result is the same. When I place a different juice in the same cartos, I have no problem...There is absolutely no question that the juice is just unvapable...This is not my opinion, this is just fact!

Add a few drops of VG then.

I'm having problems with it too, blast it all! I like the flavor although I found it a little strong and weakened it with an even mixture of pg/vg. There is still the problem with the cartos. I think from now on when I do order an ry4 I will just wait and order from Liberty-Flights. They run out a lot so you have to watch when your nic level is in stock and order a bunch. I think you might like that Frankster -- it is comparable to the VR4 but not quite as strong a flavor. Oh, and I NEVER had a problem with my cartos.... What nic level do you vape?

This is what I think about Natural Extract Tobaccos and RY4'S. They should put all this liquid on an oil tanker and set it on fire.

All these juices go right into my hall of shame for their taste and for their performance in a carto. I cannot get 4 decent hours in a carto with these natural extract tobaccos. The taste of ry4's are gross at best. Vendors should be ashamed to sell this liquid to the consumers. Not to mention the wasted money and wasted cartos and the unrelenting aggravation of using this crap. My main focus is on Vaperite...They have cost me way too much money with their juice's performance.

How do these vendors get away with this. I suggest people stop kissing their #$%$ and talk up. If you do not talk up, they will continue to take your money under the guise of helping the vaping community when we all know it's about cash and nothing else. If this offends anyone...it is just too bad. I have had enough with these vendors!!!!!!!!!!!!
