I've also tried my fair share of vendors, and in my mind when I read the description and title of a juice, I'm like "Ohh yeaa that sounds scrumptious!!" Then I imagine myself vaping it and what it tastes like and how yummy its going to be. Except when I actually get the juice in the mail... REALITY check!! Usually harsh, flavor is completely NOT what I expected, and I find myself thinking... well.. I just spent all this money, and everyone else says this juice is good but it's nothing like I imagined and now I don't know if I want to vape it. Maybe my standards are too high and all juices are supposed to be this way? As in slightly disappointing?
I've also tried Rawr in the past, which I thought was good and I like their base, but despite that, the flavors do seem very 'artificial'. I've also tried Mister E's, which I thought was good overall, really liked their Ice line, but the other flavors did not taste like I expected and those bottles are still sitting around. Most of the stuff I don't like is just sitting in a little chest, which I'm saving for the zombie apocalypse.
I recently ordered from Heather's Heavenly Vapes, 3 sampler packs. I had high hopes for their juices, but admittedly, when I got them and tried them, I found them to be too harsh. It could be that I'm normally used to vaping 6mg and the samplers only come in 10mg, but I don't think it should make THAT much of a difference? I'm letting them steep for now before trying again, as I thought the same thing with some other juices in the beginning, but when I came back to it later, it was much better. And BECAUSE I can't quite vape HHV's juices yet, I placed an order at Alice in Vapeland. Hopefully this is the vendor I've been looking for... if not, I will try Highbrow next, and just keep going down the list of vendors that interest me.
I think you replied to a previous thread I started about natural flavors Hill Giant. I hope you're right about Alice in Vapeland's juices. I'm trying out 9 of their flavors in sampler packs, if anyone of them strikes a chord with me, I'll be ordering a large bottle. So far, I have not bought ANY large bottles and pretty much only samplers and the smallest size vendors offer. I just find I don't like anything ENOUGH to order a large bottle. I mean, there are some juices that I like a lot, but I haven't found one that I REALLY like. Ok.. done blabbing.
