I've been perhaps most disappointed with Bombies 'nana Cream. Before ordering, I only saw rave reviews about it. To be fair, it doesn't taste bad necessarily, it just doesn't taste like much of anything at all. I was hoping for a pretty strong banana taste... not so much. It does smell pretty righteous though.
Most overrated E-Juice?

Bobas was a MAJOR let down for me. I took maybe 5 puffs and haven't touched the bottle since.
All AIV juices that I have tried, except for the mandarin & lime one. Great service and wonderful packaging but I don't care for the base flavor in many of their offerings. Just not my cuppa tea I guess. I also get raisin bran muffin from Bobas, not unpleasant but not crazy good to me and I always have flooding issues with it. I have a six months steeped bottle that I am planning on revisiting though!
I was pretty let down with Boba's too. I also got Gorilla juice (Boba's with banana) and they both just taste like raisin bran to me.
They aren't terrible, but I don't really care for them.
I only enjoy Bowden's Mate (I'd buy it in liters if I could), the other flavors they have don't sit well with me.
If I were to lump a whole company under the yuck for me banner I'd have to call out Space Jam, nothing of theirs is worth a second buy for me at that price point.

Tried Boba's Bounty at a vape meet and didn't get what all the fuss was about.
I wouldn't say it was bad, just sort of strange, and not my cup of tea.
Easily my favorite flavor after five years of vaping.
It's the only thing that I truly believe I could vape exclusively if I had to.
Yeah, my wife got me a bunch for Christmas, I have tried everything to make them vapeable.
But in the end, I can't stand any of them, no matter what I do with them.
I would have to say that Mount Baker Vaper is the worst e-liquid I've ever tasted.
In fact, nothing else even comes close.
Love Five Pawns, especially the Grandmaster and the Queenside.
Tried some of this in a vape shop nearby, and I liked it enough that I would consider buying it.
I haven't bought any yet though, nor have I bought any of the 15 Foot Falls, which I also liked quite a bit.
Hey, this is fun! And I'm only up to post #120 so far...
Hey, cool, I'm through post #200 now and I may just be able to finish this thread before dinner!!
If they had a second flavor I wanted to buy, I'd probably go back to buying it again.
And I also liked their Espresso, but I have since decided I just don't want coffee flavors anymore.
So now I don't buy any more Backwoods Brew.
In fact, most of the flavors I have tried could use a little less flavoring.
I do have their Lemon Poundcake and Caramel Popcorn on hand, and will continue buying them because they are that good.
I really liked Vermillion River Kentucky Premium, but I don't buy it anymore.

I liked their Casablanca, but have since replaced it with Halo Prime 15 instead.

I wouldn't add a flavor shot to anything.

As someone who used to smoke cloves on occasion, I would have to agree that their Kretek is pretty spot on, but I don't buy it anymore because clove isn't what I'm after.

First juices my wife has asked me to vape outside, kill's my cartos after one tank.

I agree with many people here about MBV. It has a strange chemical taste to me. I had a friend give me several bottles to sample. While it is his favorite online site, I will have to say I don't believe he would have given me his favorites to try. On the other hand the a fore mentioned chemical taste seems inherent in all of their flavors that I have tried.
A little history of our 6 week (today) vaping flavor journey:
We have a local vape shop in Memphis called Chase the Vape and we get most of our flavors there. They have some "Top Shelf" and "Premium" juices that we like ('Nilla Custard and Bramble are two of my favorites), that are a little more expensive ($22.00 for 30mls) than the others but their Juice Heads line runs $5.99 for 10ml and 15.99 for a 30 ml. We started with a couple of flavors only, due to the advice of the employees at Chase and knowing our taste buds would change rather quickly after giving up the analogs.
There are other flavors that we like out of the few sites we have ordered from online. Coconut, Caramel Cookie and Dragon's Tear (EC Blend), Buttery Hazelnut and Caramel ~Not sure
of Smurfberry yet but it is currently steeping and smells like a Blueberry Muffin! (eVape.us) and Snow White (Caramel Apple) from another local shop (Create-A-Cig) along with A LOT of the flavors from Chase. 
Two parts of our success here was:
Understanding that some flavors needed to steep for different periods of time and others were good day one.
and
Ordering several small bottles (5 or 10 mls) of different flavors and only ordering larger sizes once we were sure we liked them. As a matter of a fact all of the ones, except the Smurfberry, from evape were samples sent with tank orders. So far we have re-ordered one of them and will re-order the other next time. The Smurfberry was a 10 ml bottle purchase to try.
As for the rest of the comments in this thread:
Taste is definitely a preference thing and I think that increases our pleasures in this experience. What she considers her ADV, I like a couple of times a day. Some of my favorites (Chase the Grape) she can't stand and some of hers (Bahama) I can't stand but we each have 12 to 15 juices that are in our daily line up. Some days I smoke them all 15 and other days I have 3 flavors that I vape all day. I use the iClear 16 clearo (DTC) and she uses an Aspire CE5-S (DBC) and all of the flavors taste different in both tanks. We not only have a great time sharing our likes and dislikes of the differents flavors we have found so far but also enjoy ribbing each other on occasion about "liking that NASTY flavor".
All in all we are Analog Free for 6 weeks and counting, have decreased from 18 nic to 12 already and vaping is moving to the hobby stage.
And I thought this was going to be cheaper than smoking.

All the Lucky 7 Vapes juices I've tried. People on this site absolutely rave about them and I think they are raving about the prices and not about the actual quality. Their juices are pretty good overall but not nearly as good as some of the smaller Mom and Pop type vendors discussed here. It's very noticeable when doing side by side tasting. Don't understand the rave as their products are "good for the money" but not "quality good" to rave about.
Another vote for Alice in Vapeland here. I love their theme, packaging, the ideas of their flavors..
But..
They are all very light, so much so that whatever bases they use come through so much that they all have a similar taste to me. I received a little bit of everything sampler for a birthday present (whoa..that was a year ago..wow) and was kind of glad to get through them to free up my tanks. There were a couple that were pretty good, but not enough so that I've made an effort to reorder. No disrespect to those who like them..different strokes and all that.
MBV was good in the first few months I vaped, but I think they changed something with suppliers, or my tastebuds finally recovered from smoking..not sure but no thanks.
And lastly..Virgin Vapors. Holy Macaroni. That was an..experience. A pricey one too. I would say they take my #1 spot for never again.
I've since crossed over to the DIY dark side Pretty thrilled with my own creations these days.

My most overrated / overhyped juices
Grants Vanilla Custard = Overhyped, worst custard I have had.
Suicide Bunny = Decent flavors, but after an hour or so, they all start tasting the same.
YMMV

When I was 'on the hunt' for my adv with menthol....I could not stand and would gag if I tasted mint. Yuckers for me! So any mint vape is out for me.

Anything produced by my local B&Ms. $1 per mil! Some are "just OK" ... most are pretty bad/artificial tasting. Most likely a quantity over quality issue - one shop has over 300 in-store-produced flavors.
On a somewhat positive note: My local B&Ms offer some great devices at very reasonable prices, on-par with online vendors. I'm hoping/guessing the margin off the juice helps them offer reasonable prices on their products and services.

Nana Cream is a great flavour, but it really needs to be in a dripper at high wattage to taste good for me. Also I think I have a sensitivity to something in the juice because it makes me cough a lot when I vape it too much.
Suicide Bunny - Mother's Milk is an okay flavour, but I absolutely love Sucker Punch and it has been my ADV for the past month since I first tried it.
