My husband and I started vaping in October. We bought a starter kit (pen) and one 30ml of juice. Up until today, I thought the juice was probably medium grade. I had nothing to compare it to before this evening. Today, while out of town, we spontaneously stopped at a vape shop called Vape World, or Vapor's World. Something along those lines. The inside looked like a frozen yogurt place ran by 20 somethings. Whatever, no judge. I just came for juice. Upon a employee's recommendation I purchased a 18ml bottle of "Jawbreaker" for just under $5.

I had to wait all day to get home and vape that sucker. My husband and I were so excited. But oh my god, the taste was so horrible, I can't even begin to accurately describe it. I think it was supposed to be grape, but it tasted like plastic and acid with an aftertaste of grape cough syrup. It burned my eyes and throat (not in a good way, like a throat hit), and the clouds were so pathetic. I'm not all about that cloud, but I mean, c'mon.

When I switched back to my tank that had the original juice I thought it was heaven. Such a smooth feel, a perfect taste. The grass isn't greener on the other side after all. I would love to purchase more from this company, küre (society), but unfortunately, they don't have an online shop, and I'm no where near a distributor. I was encouraged to try some MechSauce juices on another great thread, but now I'm hesitant to waste money (even $5 or $6) on liquid.

Thoughts?

Sorry to say it, but you generally get what you pay for. All of the "budget" juices I've tried have been awful (ITC Vapes etc.) It might be worthwhile to you and your hubby to sign up for a subscription service to try new flavours. I'm signed up with Breazy on their $34.99/60ml a month plan, but I got over 100ml in my first box. Not too shabby if you ask me :D

That's not too shabby at all! After the first box, is it generally 60ml? I'm not too familiar with subscripton boxes. I've heard of Zample, but at the time, I was unsure of the price. Now, I feel like I'd pay anything for decent juice! I asked my husband what we made for the bottle we're currently working, and he said he felt like it may have been $25-$30. $1/ml sounds kinda crazy to me, but I can't deny the quality.

I've only received the first month, so I'm not sure what my future boxes will be like. I'm hoping the same! Andy (the owner of Breazy) is super nice too, and will try to honor requests. I asked for Teleos Remixed Chewy and Charlie's Chalk Dust Trueberry Knife and Sugar in my next box :thumbs:

you really need to go to a B&M store that will let you try out lots of juices...

I cant believe the salesperson pushed this juice on you without even letting you taste it...then again,it was only 5-6 $$$,that's pretty cheap as far as juice is concerned,maybe they dont bother to offer tastes of such low priced juice ?

It's very hard to take recommendations from people who dont know you, juice is so subjective....

I read so many great comments on Hangsens', ordered several flavors and had to throw all of them away directly :(
Some people love them though... ...
So Try to taste a few brands at a local B&M or else some online stores sell very cheap/small samples of major brand premium juices ie. 1.5ml or 2ml samples.It's a good way to try stuff quietly at home in your own setups without blindly taking the risk of dishing out 25$ for a 30ml bottle!

If this was made while you waited it may need to steep for the flavors to come together. Shake the bottle vigorously. Put it in a cool dark place. Shake every 2-3 days. If there is an alcohol taste or perfumy smell remove the cap and dropper. Leave it open for 24 hours. Try it again in 2-4 weeks.

I really don't. I live in a very rural backwoodsy area. The kind of place someone might make a comment such as, "This seems very 'Deliverance' to me" or "Do I hear banjos?!" I love it out here, but there's not much in the way of stores. Thank you for your suggestions. I will check them out soon.

They have let me if I asked, but honestly, the clerk was young and goofing off (actually flipping off and dripping f-bombs to be exact) with some (obvious) regulars, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't bother.

I know. Taste really is subjective!

I definitely will. I cry over lost money on the inside. :cry:

It was already been made, but when I couldn't say. I suggested letting the juice steep to my husband, but he replied with, "like wine?!" Haha. We were both bitterly disappointed by the taste of alcohol when we turned 21. I will try to steep it. I mean, I'm stuck with this 18 ml bottle, and I want to love it, I really do. It can't hurt anything. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nicoticket has some really delicious juices. I love their Wakonda and their Franilla is pretty tasty. But Wakonda is heaven in a bottle. Right now they give new customers 50% off their entire first order. The code is on their home page.

I tried all their juices and Wakonda was the last one I tried. The flavor profile wasn't something I thought I'd like... but OH boy was I wrong. It's a Vanilla, custardy, coffee with a hint of tobacco... I only taste a sweet, desserty, custardy, with a hint of something really tasty in the background. It's my favorite of all I've tried and I've been vaping for over 4 years. I make my own juices and quit buying ready made juices a couple of years ago... but when Wadonda goes on sale I stock up several bottles. I'm about to place an order for 4 bottles because it's on sale for 40% off.

Another juice I like and buy once in a blue moon is The King, by King's Crown. It is really good and tasty. It is a creamy, dessert flavor. It has just a hint of something like peanut butter cookie or something. It is really good too. I really enjoy it on occasion. When I go into a vape shop, if they carry it I have to get a bottle.

I noticed! That's quite enticing!

Here we go with more amazing custard talk haha! I might just have to check into that.

That sounds somewhat like my current EDV. I bet I would like it. Thanks for the suggestions!
