So im sorta NEW to vaping.Been vaping 4 months.have ONLY been using local store made/store bought liquids.
Ive never tried what i guess you call a "premium liquid" yet.Today i ordered a single 15mil bottle of Custards Last Stand from Nicoticket.I heard it was amazing.Then i ordered a sampler from Bionic Vapors.I was wondering what other medium to high quality suppliers there are out there? Or specific juices that just really taste amazing.

Ive read other threads where some people say higher quality juice doesnt taste much different from cheaper store bought stuff.
Then ive heard others say you can def tell a difference and you get what you paid for.Im sure i wont be dissapointed with the two i mentioned above,both companies of which ive heard NOTHING but good things from.So my question to all you vaping vets is this..What companies..and or specific flavors have a really premium mix of both decent throat hit (cause my main focus for vaping is to quit smoking alltogether)...rich flavor,and all around great tastes???

Ive looked into companies like halo(to much cig and menthol flavors for me)
Five Pawns,SOUNDS good,but ive heard mixed feelings about their liquids to cost.
I like fruity flavors,desert flavors..just anything all around where the ACTUAL flavor you taste..is what they say it is (and im sure you all know what i mean)

I can only give you my opinion. I live in delaware and while on a trip to New York I stopped in to delaware vapor. I live about 2 hours south of them. I tried a lot of their juices in store and they are all what they say they are. The staff there the day I was there was all very nice. I order my main juices from them and haven't had a bad experience with them. I still try other juice just to see what all the fuss is about. But I love delaware vapor. They are quick to get your orders out and will give samples if you ask.

Great company in my opinion

There's really no sure thing and I think we all need to clarify what is meant by "premium."

There are so many factors that affect / determine a person's experience with a juice.

To me... premium starts with some degree of inspiration with the entrepreneur or juice maker.

There is higher quality pg, vg and nic...

Some flavorings are more authentic or unique... then there is "mixology."

...and then there's the perception of the beholder... which is a huge factor...

There are boundaries in my opinion... e-juice can only be so good...

with that said... I suppose you could draw a few lines in the sand to differentiate good from bad...

There's just no sure thing...

There's no one who is doing anything so drastically different that they have cornered the market on AMAZING.

...and when you do think you've found a sublime juice... enjoy it because that joy is somewhat fleeting...

you could more easily enjoy the same brand of cigarette everyday for 15-20 years... but I bet you could not possibly enjoy the same meal everyday for two weeks...

Know what I mean?

lasttango....CORRECT..i completely understand when you say ""There's no one who is doing anything so drastically different that they have cornered the market on AMAZING"

I know there are HIGHER quality pg/vg but when it comes down to it,its STILL pg/vg/nic ect.I know theres no MIRACLE LIQUID ya know.But i recently went to the local vape shop where i live,and they make their own liquid (as most local stores do) But they ALSO sell liquid for 4 other suppliers that are out of state..and i can tell a difference.To me though..premium just means i want a liquid that doesnt taste like a bunch of random crap was thrown in a bottle with their eyes closed..to me when i say i want premium,i just mean...smooth tasting,decent throat hit but at the same time,GREAT flavor and very PRONOUNCED flavor
 
Personally I'm very fond of Halo Cigs HaloCigs | Premium E-Cigarettes and E-liquid. They are domestic, moderately priced and use all FDA approved ingredients ( Yes Virginia there is an FDA approved nicotine ). Their sampler packs are an outstanding value and they are the only vendor I have found which has a menthol flavor that even vaguely substitutes for "KOOL" brand smokes...

Just my 2cents on what I have found. Some shops that offer a limited selection, usually all their juices are good and some shops that offer a huge range of flavors not all of them are good. For instance, ppl will say oh this is awesome juice you must try it and it is good but if you order something that is not really mentioned it is hit or miss. So you get the named juice but order say orange and it is horrible. I have run across this many times with many vendors. So I think that the ones that have a large selection haven't really taken the time to see how all the juice actually tastes. They just mix it @X% and bottle it while others with limited selections have taken the time to ensure the juice actually tastes good and know it will be good.
I mean I know taste is subjective so I may not like juice X and others do but I am really referring to whether it tastes all like perfume or chemical and not
just the flavor.

Judging from your wants (fruit and sweet), I would recommend Alien Vision. I, like you, am fairly new to vaping. Having said that, I've tried just about all the bigs that get recommended here. I've tried Halo, Seduce Juice, Nicoticket, Suicide Bunny, Vapor Chef, etc, and have always came back to either my AVE Dreamberries, PG Hype, or Sweet Tart. If you like the candy Smarties, you will like Sweet Tart. Everything I've had from there tastes exactly like the description. Judging from my past posts, one would think I worked for AVE or something lol.. I just love their product.

Nicoticket and Open Source Vapors LLC

I just started with Open Source and their Blueberries and Crème and Strawberry are exactly as they should be, taste like it's fresh off the vine. I was real pleased to find them and Josh offers excellent customer service.

Nicoticket, so many good flavors, The Virus, Grandma's Cinnamon Danish and Betelgeuse are regulars in my drippers and tanks. The short runs are also outstanding but be warned they go fast, very tasty stuff.
