"Good" juice was, and still largely is, an oxymoron for me. I quickly found my goal was "least-offensive".

I'd recommend a Halo sampler. Halo is the first brand that I've found that has flavors that don't make me want to yack when I get juice in my mouth. Malibu in particular was the first vape that actually tasted good.

Their Menthol Ice is my next favorite. Truepure is good too, but too redundant for me have more than one menthol vape and I prefer the more subtle Menthol Ice. Torque54 is the only juice I've tried that tastes exactly like tobacco -- though the taste it pegs is cigarillo, not cigarette. Tiki Juice is good as well, spiced cinnamon flavor.

I do not like their Prime15 or Tribeca. Lots of people rave about them but I taste only nutty and buttery-nutty. I don't really enjoy a strong nutty flavor, which seems to be in a lot of tobaccos, but if you do you may like them a lot. I can tolerate the Freedom Juice... I think it tastes very much like a more concentrated version of Dekang's popular USA mix.

It's kind of odd... I never enjoyed menthol cigs, nor cigars/cigarillos, I don't like coconut or pina coladas, or spiced rum... and those are the flavors that beat the other 50 juices I tried and made it into my regular rotation. I think it's just their base is so well formulated. I don't get a perfume-y taste from any of it, I never get a dry hit, and when I do catch a mouthful of liquid it's never disgusting.

It's expensive relative to many other options, especially the shipping unless you spend enough to get free delivery. But it's been worth it to me to have 4 or 5 good flavors in rotation and not get sick of them after a couple of days, which is pretty much what happened with most of the other stuff I tried.

Good luck!
 
I was a hard core menthol smoker for years. What's surprised me is that I don't care for the "menthol ejuice". I'm fortunate enough to have a local brick and mortar in my area that loves to let me taste away at all of their juices. :)

My current faves are "Watermelon Jolly Rancher" and "Caramel" from Smokin Vapor in Panama City Beach, FL... Good luck in your search. Sooner or later you'll find something that strikes your fancy.

Sounds like something I really want to try. If it can be tolerable under those conditions - wow, it must be Ambrosia or something.

That is one thing I absolutely do not miss - raw juice. blech :p

This is the best answer here, I have tried many vendors and there is no "right" answer for your question. There are some vendors that have higher quality liquids than others. For the money Viking Vapors has some good flavors IMO for a great price but their menthol is a lot like vaping Vicks. I have some Backwoods Brew on order as well as ECblends. ECblends if very new so there is not a lot on here about them. Johnson creek is a very unique taste that some love and some hate. I found I hated it at first but after giving it some time to steep I really enjoyed it. Halo was good but pricey. In short my best advice is read the reviews and order small to start. ECblends has great prices so I am hoping I will like them a lot. I like a vendor that has a lot of options for mix and strength. I often order 100% PG at high mg and cut it down with VG or PG to the mg that I want. That makes your liquid go much farther and lets you experiment with the % of nicotine that is right for you. best advice for flavor is order sample size and experiment. BTW the only menthol I have found that I liked was menthol ice from JC but the price is a little high for me so the search continues. :)

That's why it's a good idea to buy small bottles. Each supplier has their own unique base that you may love or hate.
Halo is like this. I think it's probably excellent quality juice but their juices do have a distinct taste that you may or may not care for. You might love it, you might hate it. I don't hate it but don't particularly care for it. Some people feel the same way about BWB and JC like you mentioned.

I really like nhalers menthol. I like his nuport and a friend likes his 555 menthol. I also like the fruity flavors at Vapor Bomb. People I know get their tobacco juices from BWB and Vapor Station.

If you're looking for a US vendor, I'd go with Pink Spot. Their juices are just delicious. Juices like Pink Spot, Blue Spot and Jamaican Me Crazy are so unique and multi dimensional. It's like vaping a really decadent coctail. They set the new industry standard imo.

Totally agree. Pinkspot is the leader in suppliers in my opinion. The customer service is great and they really deliver a quality product.

Only companies I use after going past the 40+ companies I've tried are::

Want2Vape
Vermilion River
Virgin Vapors
Vaperite
Alien Visions
Clouds of Vapor

Only a few juices from each vendor, some of their juices I love, some I do not like. YMMV

3 more new companies juices coming my way next. week. I really should stop trying new ones, but I don't seem to be able to.

Has anyone tried juice from gourmet vapor? I was impressed with their selection. Tons of user-made recipes, many with reviews. They even have a make-your-own mix feature, which I thought was cool. Ordered samples of black and mild (love the pipe tobacco cigars), white russian, and root beer. Should get them early next week.

So RAWR vapor is superior. Tons of flavors and you can add menthol to any flavor!! It's simply awesome. And choose pg/vg mix, etc. And you recieve a free 3ml sample with every order. Not affiliated with them in any way I just think they are top notch. And yes you can refill empty carto sure.... But new ones will always be super fresh! And the double mint from myvaporstore is exactly like the gum. But stay away from wildberry champagne... Yuck! Cheers!

hey guys/gals! My last post was probably about 2 months ago which was about 3 weeks after i started my ecigs so i guess i can say ive been analog free for almost 3 months, AND LOVING IT!!!!!! haha. But anyway, im ready to start filling my own cartos and was wondering what a good brand/vendor would be. I currently use the cig2o menthol flavor and its good but ive heard that it would be cheaper to fill my own. So my questions are
1) Whats a good brand/vendor
2) Do i need to buy empty cartos or can i use an old carto that is empty

Thanks for any replys!

One company you cant sleep on is Kick Bass Vapors, they make a product called OMG..... and once you taste it, OMG!
