Lost in Vapeland....

[andrewjr]

Hello Everyone...Been vaping for 9 months, and I need a new direction...

I started vaping back in February with V2 (i know....) on the advice of a co-worker.

I quickly realized what kind of company I was dealing with and 'outgrew' them...

I floated around and tried several others for an order or two, and finally settled in on Vapor Smiths. I have been happily vaping their Clearos and vGo's for the last several months. I love their classics and red juice. Here lately they have been having issues with their supplier in China causing many delays on pre-ordered items. So I decided to test the waters again and tried thevaporgirl.com and smoktek.com

thevaporgirl isn't half bad. their Clearos don't have 'skirts' so they don't look so nice on my manual vGo's, and their shipping takes a couple days to even acknowledge and confirm.

smoktek.com has some decent 'new' products, but their quality just isn't there. i recently ordered several redux 808 re-buildable clearos and even though they look nice, they make juice that I have become used to taste nasty. sometimes burnt, sometimes just 'off'....
Today I ordered juice from Johnson Creek and smokeless image. I hope to find a new home. Anyways....thats my story and glad to be here!!

Just FYI, Halo, Volcano, Backwoods Brews and The Vapor Room all ship pretty darn quickly in my limited experience. I wasn't real impressed with Halo's Element ( a 505 clone) but their juice seems to be good even before steeping. Volcano's Inferno kit a good fit for me, Their juice is also good, although I've only tried their Blue Water punch it is nice for a change from tobacco flavors.

Blue Water Punch sounds tasty!

lol its a modified epiphone gt ( a smaller explorer) with dunkin blackout pickups, one of my fav little shredders.

Yep, It's pretty good. I don't think I could go all day with just that flavor, but it seems like a good clean vape between tobacco flavors. last time I ordered from Volcano I also got some Lahaina Lychee. It was on sale, and BWP was good enough I thought I'd give it a try in spite of having no clue what the name means! Haven't tried it yet, but in a few days.....

Vaping is more of a journey as there are no one-stop shops. Though you are forced to seek and find multiple suppliers, it is great that this is truly an entrepreneurial business hosted by real, friendly people rather than faceless mega-corporations out to mislead (or kill) their customers. It is worth the effort to explore and try new hardware and juices. We are all explorers and the contacts one makes enrich our lives. No worries, enjoy the trip!
