Just because it says its 555 doesnt mean it taste like it

[rhelton]

Hey all,

Ive been doing DIY for over a year now and it can be very frustrating some times. I do it cause I enjoy it, my vape budget doesnt have room to purchase pre-made liquids. I was buying my supplies from wizard labs for the last 8 to 10 months and have found that I really enjoyed their TFA 555, accented with little bit of Captain Black. Before there I bought from Vapology in Idaho, mostly because I just didnt know any better. Something happened with the shipping from wizard labs and I could not afford to pay 20 bucks for shipping from Florida to Washington. I bought local this month in Seattle from ecig-express, they have good prices and the shipping was cheap. The flavoring was completly different than what I am used too. Its vapable but just really sucks it does not taste the way I am used to. Does anyone have any advice to buy TFA flavors, nicotine, and pg/vg from. Good prices that are not inflated by overcharging shipping prices is what I am looking for.

Thanks

I usually wait until I need nic, pg and vg then make an order over $65 for free shipping.

I recently ordered 6 8ml flavors from WL and the shipping was under $3.

Everyone's 'version' of a flavor is somewhat different - heck, look at all the different strawberries!

However, ECX does sell the TFA 555, they label it Signature. Is that the one you got? Or a different brand?

If all you bought was a couple of flavors from wizard and they were charging $20.00 for shipping then obviosly they must have made a mistake in there shipping calculations. I would have placed those items in a wish list then e-mailed them and questioned there shipping charges.

I've had inconsistency issues from ECX myself. When I find a good vender I stick with them and unfortunitly ECX is not one of them. I would recommend that if your usual vender (I assume is wizard) is out of stock of your TFA flavors or your having an issue with them then go directly to TFA for those flavors.

I generally will go to one vender just for my flavors knowing there flavors are consistant from purchase to purchase. I then use another vender for my NIC for the same reason and then yet another vender for my PG/VG purchases. Although it's more expensive then one stop shopping I know the products are the quality I expect.

Personally, I like ECX, I've had issues and they were quickly resolved. I also purchase regularly from Bull City, and recently from Vaper's Tek because I wanted to try their German Flavors. ECX in my opinion has the largest available stock of flavors. They repack their Inawera flavors without letting one know what line they come from, but I buy most of those from Bull City Vapors anyway. ECX's prices are competitive, and their S/H is OK. I do Love their Flavors Express line, specially the tobaccos.
I've tried RTS, MFS, and a few others. Most vendors are OK. One buys long enough from any one vendor and there are going to be issues for sure. ECX's weakness as far as I'm concerned is that more than once I've had leakage in my packages, but they quickly replaced my product.
The only vendor I steer clear of is DIY flavorshack. I don't like their flavors(I've tried quite a few of them), I don't like navigating their website, and when I started DIYing I bought their large kit, and everything in it except for the liquids looked like Dollar store crap.
As far as the 555 flavors are concerned I agree that they all seem to be different. I've tried a few of them but couldn't tell you which one I liked the best because its been a while and I've moved on to other tobacco flavors.
Like Danny said ECX has a few consistency issues...Different packaging and labeling of the same product is one of my pet peeves, but I got the same flavor so no major issue there. When a product goes out of stock it stays that way for a long time it seems, specially with Hangsen.
But like I said, all vendors have issues, or will have them sooner or later...so for me ECX is the one I can live with the most, then Bull City.

I just sent a email to WL probably wont hear from them till Monday. Hopefully there was a mistake made, I know that the last order I placed with them they said something about they were moving. It was after that I had the issue with the shipping costs.

Maybe it work out this month I sure miss my all day vape.
