Losing Faith in Eliquidss

Wow that's the cheapest one I've seen yet. Could you give a link because I don't know what GP is short for.

Sorry- GP is Good Prophets

Doesn't seem to be on sale anymore. They do have good prices on some things and good sales. Use the code TVCFRIEND for 5% off.

Goodejuice GJ4 for a tobacco or Prime vaping PV4. Maybe you just don't like fruits. Virgin Vapors is very well thought of for non tobacco flavors. Check the deals and steals and the coupon code master list before any purchases to look for savings.

My own little DIY experiment yielded some really tasty menthol juice. I am really satisfied with the flavor (I like an overpowering menthol) and now all I need is some cheap nic solution.

@ Bugs, instead of looking for a really cheap nic solution you may want to look for a really high and great quality of a Nic solution instead. Look for a vendor who specializes in just Nic, one who does all the proper testing and has a high standard of QC in there process. This will net you a better DIY then some of the lower grade of Nics that are out there. just to mention a couple RTSVapes, and Crystalclearvaping both have some very good Nic and so does Levy from Extremevaping dot com ,,, these would be 3 you might want to look towards as a good source for Nic. Just my thoughts when I saw your post.

Since you're dabbling a little with DIY don't forget to try some of the liquid plain. Some of us like the taste of the nicquid unflavored.

To me it's a clean taste (yes it does have a little flavor naturally). I really like the taste of unflavored VG.

Best wishes and hope you can find a flavor you enjoy.

If going with DIY I recommend Highdesertecigs.com He sells affordable flavorings and RTS vapes nicotine for a very good price. He has a 5 precent off coupon too on his thread.

Welcome to the club. I started making my own e-liquid after being disappointed too many times. It takes some practice and trail and error, but eventually it is possible to create several of your own homemade recipes that will be to your liking. With a little persistence and imagination, DIY e-liquid is the way to go

The trial and error thing is pretty annoying but its still better to be able to make my own. Im really stingy so i wont be adding nic solution to my juices until i get them absolutely perfect.

And from time to time try a new vendor . . . you'll hit the right one for your taste in time.

Best wishes!! You'll do great!

I really like the ry4 from Sweet-Vapes.com its not like others I've tried. I got it before with extra flavor 70/30 and it was great

I love Mom & Pops flavors, their 5 Layer is to die for. They just added a bunch of new stuff, so I'm off to check it out. All of the things I've ordered from them have made me happy, so far.

I think you should start out with tobacco flavors at first. Keep as close as you can to it. Let your taste buds change first then try the flavors. I still only like the tobaccos. V4L has a parlament that is pretty darn close to tobacco. Parlament not the green parlament. Let the buds change and then jump on the flavors.

Hey guys i started vaping a few weeks ago and thanks to that ive been cigarette free for 2 weeks now but i have a major problem with my liquids. I have tried Apple Daple from VaperTalk store, Peach,Pear,Strawberry,Watermelon, Cherry and from Chitown Vapors and Ry4, Cuban Cigar and Mr. Pepper from Madvapes. Besides peach and apple dapple, all the other juices tasted so bad to me i almost threw up. I know everyone's tastebuds are different but im having a real big problem finding something that doesnt make me sick.

Any help would be GREAT, because i would rather smoke a cigarette than try and vape these liquids all day trying to adapt to the taste.

You need to stick to 1 flavour for the whole day, even 2 days, to get it to grow on you. If you are swapping and changing flavours all day your tastebuds will get overloaded and make you feel sick.

That is a good point. At the time I was trying 3 different flavors on 3 different cartos. Maybe after work today I'll try just one for the rest of the night and see if it grows on me.

Re flavor - this is what fruit eliquid vapor will taste like: sweet or sweet&sour. That is it. And food is exactly the same. The reason is your tongue can only taste sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savory/MSG). If you don't smell it, a piece of apple will taste identical to a piece of sweet onion. You have to smell the vapor to complete the flavor. An apple liquid puts some hopefully suitable amount of sweet and sour on the tongue, but it is not apple until you smell it.

VG can dull the flavor and add more sweetness. I use high PG juices for good flavor and hit.

Heat can dull flavor - often cooler attys/cartos can deliver flavor better. Heat delivers hit better.

High nicotine can overpower flavor with its peppery effect.

Atomizers - I hate them. They degrade, the coil gets coated with baked on stuff, and everything loses its flavor. I use cartomizers for my main juices. If 7-10 days later the carto gets weak flavor and vapor, you toss it and start a fresh one.

Vaping the same or similar flavor over and over will make you not taste it. I alternate 2 contrasting flavors. one very sweet and one smoky and not sweet. Each refreshes my taste fo the other.

Some great points as always, dormouse. Since I have had no sense of smell whatsoever for a good many years now, for a long time all food just tasted like cardboard to me. That didn't give me much to work with, but over the years I've learned to appreciate other aspects of food (in addition to the 'tongue flavors' you mentioned), such as texture, etc. Now I'm having to apply the same approach to vaping, and my best suggestion to anyone is, be prepared to be surprised. I'm amazed at some of the things I love to vape that I didn't like at all as food or smoke flavors. And if you're not afraid to get creative it's pretty amazing what you can do with cardboard (though I don't think it's vapeable).

Really really true.

Bugs I know the feeling... I'm not stingy, just broke! However I tend to take the opposite approach (and please keep in mind, I'm new to this myself): I START with an acceptable amount of nic, usually 36mg mixed at 50/50 PG/VG, and add flavors as they strike my fancy a few drops at a time. Now 3.6% nic is stronger than I care to vape but by the time I get it flavored to my liking it might be close. Also since the flavorings are mostly PG that helps bring the balance up on the PG side. From there, once I get it about where I want it I can add 0-nic PG or VG, more flavor, whatever. Main thing is, I do this in very small amounts until I get it about where I want it & keep everything recorded as I go, so if/when it comes out right I can dupe it in larger amounts.

Toasted tobacco from thevaporroom.net: I like it at 18mg with a 75/25 PG/VG mix... on my word, you will NOT be disappointed! If TVR made that stuff by the gallon, I would buy like 100 of them.
