Looking for lightly colored quality juice with extra flavor options...

[simplecj]

I need to find a good vendor for quality juices that have not only good flavors but offer double or triple flavor options for cutting with flavorless high nic juice. I also want to avoid any darkly colored juices.

I tried Gormet Vapor, but was pretty disappointed with their quality control. I got a double flavor juice that was so strong I had to cut it to 1/4 or less just to make it bearable and a triple flavor juice that wasn't even strong enough straight from the bottle.

I want to order some good fruit flavors (grape, orange, apricot, strawberry, etc) along with a good pure menthol juice to mix with the fruits. I've decided a good mentholated fruity flavor is good for my all day vape. Chocolate flavors are also good, but I can't vape them all the time.

I like vaping something that seems like a treat. I don't want tobacco since I'm trying to quit tobacco, why reinforce the taste association? Besides that no tobacco flavor I've tried actually tastes like tobacco.

The other important factor is coloring. Some vendors (like GV) have liquids that are so dark they look nearly black in the bottle. Coloring doesn't add anything to the vapor, it only leads to dirty atty's that need cleaned more often and die earlier.

Any suggestions?

I'm checking out DIY Flavor Shack, but I'm not very happy with the clarity of their site. Many of their juices don't say if they are PG or VG or if you can choose. I went to order a 6 pack and there are no drop down lists to choose from. You are just supposed to type in the flavor, nic strength, and if you want double flavor. It also doesn't say a thing about PG or VG options and the double flavor option isn't clear but appears you can only get two of the six bottles in double flavor but I'm not sure about that. There is an astrix next to 5 & 6, but nothing that explains what it means. The double flavor option is stuck in between 4 & 5, so I'm confused if double flavor is only applicable to the last two options. I want all of them double flavor... and I'd like to be able to select PG/VG. They don't give any example of how they want the flavor/strength/flavor option to be entered. This is what check boxes and drop down lists are for!!! Why make it so confusing??? Also their "available flavor list" is a huge unorganized chart...

This site is not very user friendly. They have a phone number listed which I called for answers, but no one answered the phone. I'm not going to leave a message so they can call me back at work tomorrow. A good site should be self-explanatory. DIY looks like a good site in theory, but it seems to leave a lot to be desired.

Seems alot of these sites are just some people doing it out of their house who don't understand how to make online orders simple for the user.

Well, you'd have to message Sayer to find which of his flavors are dark/light, but at BomBayVaping you can add up to 3x's the flavor for no additional cost. Plus, he's having a 20% off sale. Just type ECF in the coupon box. BOMBAYVAPING.COM

I love this chocolate flavors, I haven't tried many of his fruit flavors but his sample back is 5-3mL bottles for $8, 20% off = $6.40

Pretty dern good if you'd ask me.

I can recommend a few vendors that fit the "lightly colored/quality" criteria you are looking for: want2vape, velvetvapors and kickbassvapors have quality juice w/ no added colors, and none caused any aty clogging.

There seems to be something wrong w/ KBV's site right now, but if I remember correctly, they have double flavor options as well as pg/vg customization, and their juices are very lightly colored (at least the ones i've tried).

As far as double flavor, i've discovered by reading posts here on ECF that a lot of vendors are willing to double flavor even if the option is not listed on their site... it might be worth asking.

I have enjoyed some juices from DIYFS, but wouldn't recommend them to you b/c they all have lots of artificial coloring, and some are quite dark.

Hope that helps some

@ Levitas: Thanks!! Checking it out now! Love the fact extra flavor is no cost. GV charges $1 for double, $2 for triple... DIY charges $.50 for double.

EDIT: Super cheap, but no pure menthol or peach/apricot flavor. =( They do have some oddballs like dragon fruit, star fruit, prickly pear, and acai berry... but it's not like I really know what those taste like, weird to see them in eliquid...

Prob order a sample pack anyways and find my menthol and peach/apricot somewhere else. 5x3ml pack w/ shipping is $11.60. For 15ml of triple flavor juice = ~40ml cut = about 30 cents per ml

@hairball: Thanks, just ordered 30ml of Ultra Menthol, a 5ml of Peach and 5ml of Apricot (all three 2X flavor) plus a 120ml bottle of pure VG all for $30 with shipping. Your code saved me $6.25, thanks! Extra flavor did cost extra though, $0.50 for 1x - $1 for 2x. Saves money regardless..


With the two sample packs from Bombay, this order from FSU (all flavors triple strength), and my existing 60ml bottle of 36mg PG base, I'll be vapin happy for months!!! So many flavors to try now and it only cost me $40! Awesome, I love extra strength flavor!! Great way to stretch your money per ml of juice! Lets see... If I mixed it all (70 ml total triple flavor juice cut about 40%) that'd be about 175 ml of about 20mg juice. Figure in $8 for the 36mg PG, and that comes out to roughly 28 cents per ml!!!! (I say "about" alot because I'm never precise when i mix )


EDIT: For anyone wondering why I don't just buy concentrated flavoring and mix from scratch... it's alot easier when it's already mixed to a known concentration like "double" or "triple". Then I can just work with basic ratios in empty 5ml bottles with my nic and non-nic liquids to cut it down where I want it. Also using 36mg nic base I know I'm never going to over do it if I start with 12mg flavor and mix around 50/50 I'll land somewhere around 24mg, less if I substitute some no nic base. It's not as cheap as going from scratch, but it's easier and it's cheaper than buying it pre-mixed ready to use. Plus I know I won't over do it like I might if I was using more concentrated stuff (nic and flavoring).

I'm glad it worked out for ya buddy! Let me know what you think of the flavors you got when you get 'em!

I just got a bottle of Chocolate from MadVapes-its colored light orange-more like unsweetened chocolate than chocolate candy, but i added it to their cherry tobacco and its VERY good...

@SweetPuff: Thanks for your recommendations, I've bookmarked them for future shopping. It's a bit overwhelming how many liquid shops are out there. KBV has apparently "gone fishing" LOL...

I don't understand why anyone would add coloring to their liquids. It's understandable if it's already in their flavoring, but with GV I think they must be adding more. The Lime Ricky still looks inky black even after cutting it to 1/4 strength, you can only tell it's actually purple where it is running down the sides really thin. Same for their Seattle blend. What is the purpose of that much coloring in vaporizing liquid? The vapor isn't going to be purple no matter how much color you put in it, it's just going to gunk up and ruin our atomizers!! Hopefully more shops figure this out and start offing more near-clear liquids. Personally I'd like to limit my exposure to food dyes as much as possible anyways....
