Looking for help trying to find a new vendor...

[itschoice]

I am thinking of placing an order through Mountain Oak Vapors but am open for suggestions as to other venders. I have been buying from ECblends but I am looking for better quality more flavorful juice. What do you all recommend? TH is not needed since I am down to 6mg and no longer like the harsh drying feeling. I want real juicy like flavor like eating a Jolly Rancher.

I don't like the Dragon Blood from ECblends but I do like Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe and the Chocolate Mint Chip (3/4) I mix with SI's Mint (1/4). Those are the only 2 combos that I have been able to come up with for all day vapes. I can also vape SI's 555 but for me its not an all day vape.

Others I have tried from ECBlend are:

Peanut Butter Cup - Real bad

White Peach ala Zoe - I liked the sample but when I reordered it was not the same.

Peanut Butter - I liked the sample but when I reordered it was not the same. Because I had liked this one I ordered the PB Cup above.

Vanilla Malt - Did not really taste like vanilla nor malt.

Dragons Blood - I liked in the sample size but again not the reorder.

Snickerdoodle - Tastes like the cheep primer they put in some clearos.

DK 555 - I can add to the mint just to try and get rid of it.

Dragon Tears - The strawberry tastes fake

Chocolate Hazelnut tobacco - Its okay but even after steeping the perfume taste does not go away.

Dulce de Leche - Was ok but not an all day vape. Too sweet or something I think. Its like have something very sweet too early in the morning and it turns your stomach.

Tried some fruit with cinnamon and I don't like the cinnamon.

I also had the Smokeless Image Cappuccino and it too was bad.

I know this is long but I thought the information might help. Thanks in advance.

Highbrow
Virgin Vapors
Heather's Heavenly Vapes

Good stuff but you aint gettin' it at ECblends prices.If you like ECBlends, these three will vape you into a coma.

HHV was the other vendor I was looking at today. Any suggestion as to flavors from HHV?

Currently I am using a Volt X2 bat and CE3's. I find that the CE3's are a dryer vape than the clearos but are consistent allowing the flavor to be consistent.

 

[DantesInferno]

HHV for sure. OMG try MOV tobaccos at your own risk. Look for my MOV thread on here. Pretty good number of us found something in their tobacco blends that we did not like. I cant speak for thier non tobacco flavors though..

here it is...

I found my main juice vender now & that's AltCig. They've got very good juice, fast shipping & excellent customer service and they always give you a nice size sample bottle in every order. My main juice from them is Tobacco Love, it's an awesome vanilla tobacco that I absolutely can't put down! Might want to give them a try.

Considering you're looking at MOV and ECBlends I am assuming you're looking for the more affordable vendors? The only other affordable one I know of is Mt Baker, which gets good reviews here. There's also dekang and high caliber which are sold at several equipment stores.

Now, Heather Heavenly Vapes seems to be highly recommended and I would still put them in the affordable category. I am not sure about their other flavors, but their tobacco flavors are regarded as some of the best (Dark Horse, Pirate, Gandalf and Dragon Fire)...Gandalf is hands down on of the most mentioned Juices on these boards.

Highbrow is also good if you want good very natural flavors, but many of them might be a little weak with throat hit. Their Cheesecake torte is my favorite juice as of now, at 60PG/40VG it still has one of the fullest most natural flavors I have tried, I find their prices reasonable. Have not tried their chocolate mint but it does look appealing. I would almost say highbrow has the most natural flavors, but some flavors, esp their tobaccos, have a perfumey citrusy note that not many people adore.

Backwoods brew is also one of the highly recommended vendors here, everything I've tried from them always has a candy note though, a decent one but I am not crazy about it. Liked their Creme de Leche and Honey Flue Nut....but I know the rest of their flavors need steeping.

As of now, I generally avoid fruity favors since they always turn out too chemical or to candy like or too mild. However, I hear Rawr and Ahlusion have excellent fruity flavors, I am yet to try either. Ahlusion is on the pricier side of things I would say.

If you like Coffee flavors, I would highly recommended the plume rooms Vanilla Caramel Frappuccino (or any of their coffee flavors). They are pricey at $17/30ml, but they have a 20% discount code. They have a small selection, but I never heard anything bad about any of their Juices.

None of these Vendors beats ECBlends at prices though. Though chances are, you'll find more consistency with vendors that have a smaller selection, where someone as big as ECBlends are hit or miss.

Blue Mist vaping gets some pretty good reviews, and they have a pretty good size selection and they're nice 'n cheap.

$0.50 a ml for a 10ml bottle = $5
$0.30 a ml for a 30ml bottle = $10
$0.14 a ml for a 180ml bottle = $25

The best juices I've tried so far are from purevapes. His butterscotch cookie is amazing.

 

[Jim Bob]

If you've not tried Copper Creek IMO you're missing one of the bestest!

Welcome to Copper Creek - Online Store

Winner of "Juice of the year" last year House Blend ROCKS! Others I find great:

Blueberry
Voodoo
Twisted Tobacco

Their pumpkin pie gets rave reviews as well as everything she puts out the door.

His carrot cake is outstanding. I believe you might have even recommended it to me, if so you were right. I also got his banana split and strawberry shortcake but not in the class of the carrot cake.

 

[The Hill Giant]

Try Alice in Vapeland. They're new, so a lot of people haven't tried them yet, but they will blow your mind. Especially if you like citrus and/or tea flavors. They have some good dessert vapes, too.

I found my main juice vender now & that's AltCig.

On your recommendation I purchased quite a big bottle of the Vanilla from Altcig. I'm a mere three weeks into this. At first the vanilla just made me feel queasy. But I keep pulling it out for some reason. I've been vaping the vanilla all morning long and it makes HUGE vapor (I drip). It definitely grew on me but I still can only vape it in small quantities. Just wanted to say thanks. I really like it. And I LOVE the vapor clouds it produces. I'm still making my way through the other samples.

My favorite so far is Highbrow. I just ran out of Exotic Blend this morning. It's not for everyone for sure. But it's one of my can't-live-without juices. I've got a big bottle of it ordered and I'm anxiously awaiting delivery. I also adore their strawberry lemonde and have a big bottle of that coming as well. I plan on trying every.single.one of their juices.

I'm also waiting on eight different tobacco flavors from HHV. I can't WAIT.

Copper Creek House Blend is next. I mean it won #1 Juice of the Year in 2011...it must be good!

Then I'm trying Ahlusion. Their "Zing" looks good since I love tangy and tart and sour flavors.

To the OP, I hope you find your flavor! There are so many to choose from.

Did you by chance get Heavenly Tobacco? It doesn't get the hype some of HHV's other juices get, but it's one of my favorites.

 

[Leothwyn]

I totally agree. I loved that stuff (haven't had it in a while... DIY). Also, for desserts, I really liked all that I tried from KBV.

So after reading your post I checked the mailbox. HHV's is finally here, and yes I did order Heavenly Tobacco and that will be the first one I try! YAY! And out comes the new atty!!!!!!! Off to vape my brains out.

 

[gthompson]

If there are any of them you don't like, don't panic. Give them a week and they'll get a lot better.

What did you get? (post results in HHV thread)

Wow everyone thank you all for the ALL the information. I really want to find something better than ECBlend. I don't mind spending a bit more to get more flavor and for the juice to have more consistency from bottle to bottle. I love their prices but I got too many flavors that had that cheep primer taste. They came from 2 back to back orders. I will keep getting the Peach Watermelon Cantaloup from them for now.

See, here is my observation and it is just speculation (This does not include the 2 bad batches that tasted like primer). I think that the base in the juice (PG or VG) has a smaller size molecule than the flavor or sweetener. I love the Peach Watermelon Cantaloup when it had darkened up in my clearo a bit. I can vape it when its newly cleaned if I fiddle with it and loosen the cap and loosen it on the batt so it wont be so hot. But it takes a long time to get both ends of the clearo just right and by then its time to take it off the batt and open the fill end for another refill causing me to have to start over again.

I have switched over to CE3's and I get more consistent taste but its not as good as the sweet spot I was getting with the clearos but the juice killed the clearos too fast and I spent another week or so using a somewhat clogged clearo since they were so expensive chasing that sweet spot. With the CE3's I get a dryer harsher vape that the juicy sweet spot I could sometimes get with the clearos.

I am thinking that if vendors tried to match the molecule size of the base to the range of molecule sizes of the flavors they are creating it would also improve the quality of the juice in many aspects. Its just my own hypothesis...

Yes post it on the other thread and maybe I will order some of what you tried. I have so many other flavors that I have ordered that just sit in a box maybe you can give me a starting point.
