Alrighty!! Just ordered 2 sideshos one for my wife and one for myself. Now I got M Boro, Menthol and Vanilla (I love vanilla I hope the e juice is good) I think I read on here somewhere that you can get 500ml bottles of e juice, is that true?? And if it is where can I find them??

Anyone have any suggestions on e juice for newbies?? Anything site or product we should avoid? Thanks in advance! Yall have been great!!

Deffinately order small test bottles first being a newbie, im at it for over 9 months now and still finding juices I like better than I had the month before. say your a menthol smoker and you find a menthol you really like maybe order a bit more but be careful cause juice only has a 2 year shelf life and if you build your stock to high you could be wating a lot of money, one thing I have found so far is juice is always available and has been since this whole thing started and it seems it will just be getting better and better

Go and have a look around our E Lqiuid reviews forums.
It won't tell you what YOU like but it might give you an idea of 'popular' juices you might want to try.
I found a top one recently in a flavor I hadn't really thought of trying but am glad I did :)
The reviews section also tell you what people have found not so good.
Then there's the supplier review forum - both good and some bad reviews on supppliers too. Remember one person's experience may not be what YOU experience, but forewarned is forearmed as they say.

At first you're better off buying small quantities of many different flavors from several vendors. It's like going to a restaurant - you can buy fast food all the way to 5-Star and you need to find the flavors and suppliers you like the best. Some come from China and are mass-produced while some smaller suppliers handcraft every order from scratch and are master juice-chefs, so to speak.

You can mod any cart.

The same flavor from two different suppliers might taste completely different. Vanilla will taste the same from all the places that sell DeKang but it won't be exactly what another manufacturers' vanilla will taste like.

The same vendor who sells the vanilla you love might carry menthol liquid that you hate and you'll need to find a different supplier for that.

If you haven't started vaping yet, you don't know if you ordered the right strength for you.

There are a few threads around where people posted how much liquid they go through in a day. If I recall correctly, the chain vapers are using 4 or 5 ml. A 500ml bottle could be a 4-5 month supply (if you only vape that one flavor.) If you use a variety of flavors, you're going to have some liquid that qualifies as an antique before you finish it.

I agree with the other posters, try several vendors, and a variety of flavors in small amounts first. Because:

1. Flavors vary between vendors.
2. Eating something does not mean you will want to vape it all the time. I love pistachios. But pistachio flavor e-juice was TERRIBLE!!!
3. Flavors that you like to vape today, might get old for you tomorrow.
4. Flavorings are the least stable chemically of all e-juice components. Over time some will decompose. 500 mL at 2 mL/day is 250 days, and it is possible the flavor will not last that long...even unopened and still sealed stored in the fridge. Fruits are notorious for this. Depends on other things in the juice too, added by the vendor, like water.
5. E-juice sitting for a very long time in plastic will eventually start leaching plastics into the juice. This is even with unflavored nic-juices. Don't buy more flavored juices than you can vape in 2 months, and store them in plastic.
6. With the disappointing flavored juice purchases, and great uncertainty in whether I would like them in the first place, I make all mine DIY now in small amounts, enough to vape in a couple weeks or so. MY recipes = my preferences. Takes some time, but I know what is in them, and its a lot cheaper in the long run.

Just my $0.02.

the flavor thing can be really overwhelming. it's WONDERFUL but it's a lot to absorb when you're brand new... i wrote a little piece about flavors for new vapers that might be interesting to you, click [here] if you're interested. but the advice given here is perfect. you have many more options than you ever did as a smoker, it just takes some patience to find what works best for you. i def. wouldn't order huge bottles of anything until you're a bit more accustomed to vaping, and by then you may not want to order big bottles. there are very reasonable prices on smaller quantities of e-juice, you really don't have to buy in bulk to get a good deal. happy vaping!

Im so excited!! Our kits shipped today! I got MBoro, Vanilla, Cola and Menthol (for my wife cause she loves menthol analogs). Its been 21 days since my last analog and man I want to smoke so bad but I don't want an analog. I really just want too vape! I have a theory Im going to turn into a chain vaper lol!

Im gonna start modding asap. I need to browse a bit and figure out what the easiest mods are. I haven't looked too much into the modding section of the forum only because I cant post there yet. I think the first mod Im going to try is the straw mod. Watched a video on how to clean and refill carts and the guy had a straw mod and said its very helpful.

The past couple days E Cigs have been the only thing on my mind. Waiting for them to come is killing me!! :thumbs:
