Most overrated E-Juice?

[oncebitten]

Halo Tiki juice.... yuck!

Jugheads.co way up in Alberta. From his signature Jokesmoke to his all vg line, this guy just keeps pouring out fantastic juices. He’s got more than 600 flavours now and climbing. He does tributes to a lot of the big names mentioned here – and does them better. He also has a line he calls UnUsual and UnSavoury, with names like Last Gas Station Coffee and Slightly Expired Dairy Milk.
Best customer service on the planet, to boot.
Oops! Sorry. My bad. I thought this was Most Under-rated E-juice!

Alice in Vapeland - I know many people swear by em but after trying 5 of their juices, I can honestly say I was really disappointed. I've since given the juice away. Awesome packaging though!

This is surprising

I know that taste is subjective

but ahlusion is one of the very few that have fruit that taste like the fruit and not candy or chemi

their cherry is above any I have ever had by a landslide

I've had their peach, lime, lychee
and haven't seen a vendor come near to as realistic

what fruit juices have you had?

Berry Potter and Sweet Strawberry. Both tasted syrupy, and the sour in the sweet strawberry was an overkill. Not that it was bad, just overrated. For some reason I thought I'd be getting more natural flavored juices.
On the other hand the Devi Dog and BGB were both mind blowing awesome. Their aromatic tobaccos should get their own mascot.

I have well over 1000+ml of so many juices is ......ed...I have two that I actually like and both are highly talked about in the community. The ton of others I have tried are also all hyped up in the community but not for me, I think the taste is subjective is spot on as almost all the hyped companies you can tell take pride in what they make so regardless of the flavor I might not like- the overall quality of packaging/juice/nic is always spot on with the hyped juices.
I started with Tribeca and it was my ADV till I set out and cloned it so I could save a ton while trying everything under the sun and not enjoying anything else. But I will say there is only one that I will spend my money on over and over and even share with everyone I know and all say it is phenomenal.....BOBA'S BOUNTY! I would inject it if I could lol, It is subjective but still I have met 1 out of a 100 that don't enjoy it's complexity. As far as let downs it's all subjective but most are above 1.00 a ml and just not worth it IMHO but to each its own, if it keeps you off the stinkies More power to ya as I would and do search classifieds and every where else to get the BB and always looking for more!

Mother's Milk.
Vapable but it doesn't blow my socks off or live up to all the hype, imo. Simple strawberries and milk, very faint in flavor. I will vape it on occasion, but it's not a re-buy for me. It tastes like a very diluted Strawberry Quik. Meh. Pretty sub average for the price.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the Strawberry needs amped up. I mean I taste condensed milk and a faint candied strawberry. Very disappointing. Like you ran out of Strawberry Nesquick and had less than a teaspoon left and ran out of milk so used canned condensed milk and mixed them together in a glass.

but Suicide Bunny's Sucker Punch and OB are very good(which receive very little hype compared to Mother's Milk.) Sucker Punch is now in my ADV rotation consistently.

Pluid and four of the 5 Pawns.

Ordered the sampler from 5 Pawns, got two absolute pins, and no Grandmaster, which was the one that I really wanted to try. Thought it was too much of a hassle to contact them, plus after I tried the other four I figured it couldn't be that good anyway.

Grandmaster is their best flavor in my opinion. It doesn't have the base flavor to it that people mention.

Gambit is very good as well but I feel could be better with some minor tweaks.

 

[SoCalMichelle]

Have to agree with everyone's sentiments on MBV. I've gotten 18 different flavors and liked two, whipped cream (w/ min 6 week steep and only as a mixer) and Cinnamon Roll. And even cinnamon roll may be on the chopping block, I reordered and unfortunately the second bottle isn't living up to the first.

Really wanted to like their stuff but I think it's just not meant to be.

If you want an outstanding Cinnamon Roll try Vermilion Rivers- best Cinnamon Roll I have tried and I've had about 7 from different vendors. VR also has some good tobacco's I'd recommend to people who like RY4s

 

[SoCalMichelle]

for me the most over rated is Backwoods Brew there coffee is horrible plus there shipping sucks three weeks to get to me lol

I tried their Espresso and it is not good at all- after many people suggesting them. I won't be going back. Yes- there shipping is also slow. Meh. Whats your favorite coffee vape?

 

[Ladiekali]

Totally agree on MBV, when I started vaping, I perceived it as the absolute go-to e-juice, until I tried the same flavors from a variety of other vendors. That's when I noticed the very perfumey, chemical aftertastes. After trying other brands, MBV was absolutely un-vapable for me at that point.

One thing to note though, my friend only buys MBV juices, to me, they all taste like watered down Windex. He thinks the ones I vape taste like stale pastries or rotten fruits... So yeah, to each their own, but this thread is fun nonetheless

I can agree with this statement. I think they are perfect for starting out on ejuice. They also can give you an idea of flavors you do and dont like. I find they are lacking in throat hit. As well as complexity. I use them to hook friends up that are new to vape. I still love blue moo tho.

I find that when i have tried diy, they turn out tasting similar to mbv.

I'm still trying to get over the first post saying my ADV Smooth Criminal was bad???? lmao... Boba's was much better and consistent a year ago (it got better again, but still not bang on like it was before). I still vape it along with Gorilla juice. Not a fan of Backwoods Brew. Had a small order from BWB 9 months ago and still have half of it left over steeping. I haven't tried Casablanca though, think it's their best juice so I've heard.

MBV is very low end juice IMHO, never got why people loved the juice other than price.

My favorite vendor as of now is Ahlusion, but with any vendor you're not going to love all their juice. Devil Dog and Blue Grass Burley I didn't like at all and it's been steeping for 3 or 4 months with little change. Tried Just Criminal and really dig it along with veechio blend.

Juice is a really personal thing and have stopped suggesting it to people here for a while. And juice I really like I don't anymore as well. Perhaps my taste is changing as well. Smooth Criminal to me is pure joy in a bottle, a cobalt blue bottle lol.

Grandmaster is their best flavor in my opinion. It doesn't have the base flavor to it that people mention.

Gambit is very good as well but I feel could be better with some minor tweaks.

Grand Master made me want to puke. I got the 5 pack sampler and 3 x 30mL (Gambit, Grand Master and Absolute Pin). The only flavor I enjoyed was Gambit (I should say the only one that didn't make me sick was Gambit), sold the rest. Just not my deal.

I am glad I took a moment to read this topic through. I am new - obviously. I was set to order from a vendor last evening and decided to hold off. They have a great sale and an even greater delay in time required to fill orders. My excitement made me think I would OK with an unknown wait for the flavors to arrive.

Now - "subjective" means even more. Buy five - perhaps hate three. Trade them off, give them away, toss them out? I am already spending enough time learning the vaping ins and outs. I'll stick with my local shops, buy a bottle at a time and probably dislike some of those as well. I'll avoid the 'wait' and save the 'time' of chasing the 'perfect juice'. In the end I doubt I'll spend any more than if I impulsively buy tem bottles on-line. I'll never be as enthusiastic as some - I just want to be in enough to stay clear of the smokes.

This was a great topic for ME to read. A real eye opener. Some folks are actually offended if anyone dare say, "I disliked XYZ Flavor". Amazing. Simply amazing.

The higher the expectation you bring to the juice, the stronger the disappointment.

I've learned not to bring high expectations to any juice… but once in a while, I get bit too…

The juices I have had the biggest expectations for this past year or so include: goodlife vapor, alice in vapeland and CB4…
…and while all of these juices were very good… and deserve most of the hype they receive, for one reason or another, they didn't work for me… great stuff though - in fact, I have tried AIV and GLV a few times and I will probably even try again!

I cannot get AIV juices to perform well… they tend not to work for me dripping, in cartos or in tanks… at 3.7-5v… I don't get much vapor and they seem to flood my atties too easy…

and GLV juices would work for me if I could tone the sweetness down on them…

as far as most overrated?

it would probably have to be one of my favorites… my bobas… only because the hype is way too much for such the simple pleasure that it is…

people seem to read way too much into it and expect too much of it - and it only is what is always was… a slightly sweet, thick and goopy tobacco hybrid… It's unique… no one has been able to quite replicate it - but it's only one juice… not the 75 juices everyone describes… or wants it to be...

 

[Fast and Furious]

And "lasttango" as you were one of the folks who helped me get started back on day one your description fits perfectly what I see quite often as I attempt absorb yet more information "...people seem to read way too much into it and expect too much of it - and it only is what is always was… a slightly sweet, thick and goopy tobacco hybrid… It's unique… no one has been able to quite replicate it - but it's only one juice… not the 75 juices everyone describes… or wants it to be....

One exclaims, "THE BEST CARAMEL APPLE TART I EVER TASTED! YOU WILL LOVE IT" They may be new like myself or a veteran like you. Some rush off and order a gigantic bottle just knowing it will indeed be fabulous. Two or three posts later another chimes in, "I ALMOST THREW UP WHEN I TRIED IT!" and go on to exclaim how they will never ever buy another juice from that "most popular" company. Then rocks and stones are thrown and it begins again. Craziness.

A week or longer later the person who bought the massive bottle based on, "THE BEST CARAMEL APPLE TART I EVER TASTED! YOU WILL LOVE IT", comes back and reports, "After I mixed it with Strawberry Cream, Blueberry Tobacco and a hint of Caramel I really loved it too!". What? It wasn't "LOVED" right out of the bottle? Only when doctored? Amazing and I've seen it dozens of times! Tastes differ? Oh no!

I don't think I can handle the trial by fire or the mix until I don't twitch method. Not quite yet anyway.

And again - Thanks for the 'tips' back on Day One! All went smoothly!

I've heard that about the strawberry never tried it and after my last post I tried the apple I wasn't to thrilled about

but the cherry is the best I've had
and the peach at least the one I had in sweet Georgia peach is amazing as well

 

[leelee.d]

Halo's Sub Zero. Hands down. It tastes just like I would imagine Vicks Vapo Rub would taste. It's bad when you open the bottle and your daughter who is sitting across from you on the sofa says, "Mom! That stuff smells like Granny B's chest!" Yes, she smears that stuff all over herself...thinks it's the cure all of everything. But, Sub Zero is just YUCK. I have tried to so hard to like it but it's just a dud to me.

Anything that will crack my m-tank

 

[CABBA]

Alien visions. I know the BB fan boys are going to take offense to this but the 4 flavors I got from AVE are so unpleasant that I have come to the conclusion that they are un-vapeable. I spent about $100 for 4 x 30mL (Boba's bounty, Gorilla Juice, Hype and Chai) and I dislike them all. They are so harsh that I can't stand to vape them. Have tried them in drippers, kayfun, carto, ... The result Is always the same, and I just can't take it. They are all supposed to be the same nic strength as all my other juices 12mg so I'm not sure what gives. 100 bucks wasted, not to mention the 100 bucks I wasted finding out that Alien Visions was a clone supplier (so I don't trust their liquid) so basically the whole thing was a waste of $200.

belgian coco

can barely stand it--even watered down

have to say though--my first impressions of juices almost always change-

steeping also seems to make difference....more often to the good side

had a "shisha" blend that tasted like charcoal--i really liked it--after a couple days I could not stand it anymore--trashed it
