So I've just started vapeing and last pay period I got a kit and a little juice...the batteries are great and the mechanics are GREAT...but I've ran out of my blueberry vape and now I'm smoking some leftover tobacco my friend gave me! I got paid again a few days ago and I ordered 100ml from a friend halfway across the country. Lets just say I'm really finding it hard to keep calm and relaxed without a good vape right now. The tobacco is good before bed...because for some reason it soothes me...probably a psychological thing. But I still have nothing that I can vape in the daytime! I'm so desperate right now I've been thinking of driving down to my local shop and shelling out 10$ for a 10ml of stuff that isn't all that wonderful. Also thinking about steeping some high nicotine blueberry so I could have something to vape while I wait...might take it till Monday or Tuesday to get here...I'm going nuts.

Moral of the story kids...plan for juice.

So I got two questions! One, have you ever struggled to stay on the vape wagon? And two, what is your favorite place to get your ADV?

Im experimenting with places to buy juice. At the moment I'm trying 100ml for 34$ from a DIY girl. I hear good things about her stuff.

I do struggle with staying on the vape wagon. Those damned cigarettes are chemically-engineered to keep you wanting one. But I find that vaping a high nic (minimum 24 mg.) juice when I have those jitters really works well to even out my keel.

As far as my personal ADV, right now it's Hawk Sauce from MBV. I picked up a big bottle of it (236 ml.) and I can steadily chain-vape it. It's such a light flavor, crisp and not cloying, with just a touch of menthol to make it a cool vape. I've almost gone through 30 ml. of it in just 5 days.

Sounds like you have the wherewithal to do some DIY extracting. You should try to do your own blueberry extraction and make your own juice.

Get you a bottle of some 0 nic not so good blue berry from the shop you might even be able to talk them down a little since its no nick mix it with your high nic blue berry to cut the nic content and a decent tasting vape.

I did actually mix the rest of my no nic with my high and I got a cotton candy taste...hated it at first. But now it's just amazing lol.

Still low on blueberry but the carto is holding strong!

Oh Ciel - it gets better!!! I struggled, not with wanting an analog, but finding the right juice and getting my equipment to work the way I wanted it to (note, I said the way I wanted it, not the way it was supposed to work.) Now, with 2 eVics and so much stuff to experiment with, I am happy. My ADV btw (and I'm so happy I am satiated) is Five Pawns Grandmaster mixed with MBV Whipped Cream and Graham Cracker. I keep going back to it ALL DAY and I am NOT easily satisfied. Not that anyone else will like this mixture, but just know that if you keep searching, you will find what works for you and be happy. My first vapemeet is a week from tomorrow. I am giddy with anticipation. Dive in and find what you are looking for - it gets better, trust me!!

I prefer MBV but that's just me. Everyone in the beginning has thoughts of returning to cigs. Also my personal ADV is Cotton Candy also from MBV. But yes, always have at least 30-60ml of juice at all times!

Yes! When I find a good flavor I'm getting a 30ml or more for sure...just right now I'm doing samples...which is hard when you have to order, then test, then decide, then order again...and waiting for shipping is killing me. Haha...it's not the week to be low on juice! I'm stressed out...ugh.

And wow that sounds like a good vape! I'm a big menthol person. I like it in the morning...but it would make me straight up at night XD so not good for ADV. For me at least.

Mmmm! Sounds yummy! I've never been a heavy smoker...but when I get a vape crave...it's hard to think about anything else. It's been a stressful week and I'd love nothing more than to suck my batteries DRY! Ugh...

If you get something simple like a peach or green apple they are good from anywhere. get you a big bottle from MBV or discount vapor then do your samples and find other things you like.
Just a thought

That's a good idea. A basic backup for emergencies. I think I'll be ok...just really need to plan my month better! It's too easy to not plan when a pack of cigarettes are just at the corner gas station! Just pick them up and go...

One, nope, never struggled to vape :) In fact, I went from a pack a day, to smoking my last cig ever 3 days into vaping. And those 3 days I was vaping I only had 2-3 cigs each day. It was a really easy, smooth transition.

Sounds to me like the only part of your transition that is difficult is you running out of supplies. That is one thing I make SURE I don't do. I vape practically all day, so if I ran out it'd be sucky.


To answer your second question:

1) My local B&M (Vaperite in GA, I recommend to anyone in the area!) has two flavors I use. Watermelon , and spearmint (spearmint I add to other flavors). I wasn't too much into their other e-liquids, although I could probably try a few more. However, their watermelon is WONDERFUL.

2) Roar - My NEW FAV. I thought I was going to like coffee/tobacco flavors....and I had NO INTEREST in fruity/menthol flavors. Turns out Im the EXACT OPPOSITE. I HATE coffee flavors, and LOVE fruit and minty flavors (go figure). Roar is known for having amazing fruit liquids, and good menthol as well. I will say, I honestly enjoy adding spearmint from the local b&m much more than menthol to my e-liquids, but both work nice :) I have yet to try a drop of each, I'm willing to bet it will be nice :)

3) NiteLiteVapor - Their BountyHunter is my staple. LOVE it. Tastes like vanilla wafers, with a hint of tobacco, a VERY mild hint a tobacco. First liquid I ever vaped (besides pre-filled cartos), and I fell in love instantly.

Those are about it for right now. I've tried other vendors, and nothing stuck out.

Think I'm going to order a few 30ml from Bulk E Juice! But Roar sounds AMAZING! I looked up the website...just their prices are a little more than what I wanna pay at the moment...maybe I'll get a discount code and try them! :)

Ciel, the Liqua menthol from FT is decent. Order up a 30ml to try, and if for whatever reason you don't like it keep it in the closet for times like these. For about 6.50 shipped you can't go wrong.

$5.61 Authentic LIQUA E-liquid for Electronic Cigarettes (30ml) - menthol flavor / 18mg/ml nicotine at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Wow! Sooo many amazing websites! I'll defiantly be buying a backup for the closet this week, and worse comes to worse I can trade someone on the trade threads...

Thank you everyone for the ideas! I'm saving all these websites for the future! :)

I've been looking it up and studying a little about mixing and steeping and everything but actually making my juice is a big investment...I'm new to vapeing...maybe after some more experience.

I don't know how much equals big investment to you but it isn't compared to what you are talking about spending for mixed stuff. The liquids you would need for 100ml would be about $16 add about $5 for shipping (plus that is enough to have some leftovers for future. A syringe and 18 gauge needles at tractor supply less than $5. If you have kept empty bottles you don't have to buy those.

I just mixed my first test batch today. I ordered higher quantities than just mentioned but not near the quantities some here order. So for me it's about $1.07 for 10ml. If this works out I'll increase the quantities and could easily drop that down more.

You can vape as soon as you mix if you need it but steeping is best. I have to wait until next weekend to know if my mix is just tolerable or great. If I didn't have enough to get me through I'd tear into it now.

3 weeks from ordering to opening your first batch.

First of all, It's so good to see another Alabama vaper around here! Everyone has made some great suggestions. I personally am stuck on liquids from heather's heavenly vapes. They're in Georgia and their prices are decent for a custom juice company, and shipping would be pretty quick for you I imagine. It usually only takes 2-3 days for me. I'm pretty sure they have some blueberry flavors also. I'm really on a mountain dew kick right now, and theirs is amazing IMO. If you like tobacco flavors, they have plenty of solid ones to choose from (Legend, Shadow, Dragons fire, etc...). Also, one that doesn't get mentioned a lot but I personally love is Halo's Longhorn. Hard to describe, maybe like a sweet cigar, but definitely one of my favorites. As for menthols, I can't help you there as I haven't found a great one so they're really not my thing. But stay strong and sample as many different flavors and vendors as you can afford to find that elusive "all day vape". Hope it gets better for you!
