it's delicious!!!!! my absolute favorite all day vape,,,,,,,

WL is great, but they are out of stock on everything lately,,,,,

RTS vapes has a 30 ml vial of the stuff for I think about 5-6 dollars,,,,,,,

Is RTS the same TFA concentrated flavoring as WL? If so, I just may order it.

yes,,,,,,,,,,

they sell 10 ml bottles that are more $$ than WL's 8ml bottles, but once you get into the 30 ml and 120 ml bottles, the price is comparable/ even cheaper.

they were out this morning when I checked though :D

they usually re-stock pretty quick though.

I lived with that fear (about juice supplies) for nearly a year before I started DIY. Fortunately for me, I like menthol. But I'm REALLY picky about what menthol, and the additional flavors added to make it taste, well, "special". To me, anyway. I had three pre-made menthols I liked from three different vendors. One was my particular favorite. There was some extra flavor in there I couldn't quite put my finger on...but I knew straight menthol flavor wasn't the whole equation.

Anyway, summer of 2012 I started DIY. Came up with some real losers and bombs at first...but finally hit on something I really liked. And now I like my juice better than ANY thing else out there...including my once top favorite pre-made juice. I do tweak and adjust a bit as my tastebuds go through changes and my equipment changes...but that is easy to do. And so cheap! Juice is the least of my concerns now. I'm more worried about the things that sit on top of my PV, since I'm not doing well learning to make my own coils. Not doing well YET. I hope I figure it out one of these days. Meanwhile I'm stockpiling atomizers and cartomizers (for tanks) like mad.

My worst fear is not having any money to buy anything...

Wait, I'm there already!

Living the nightmare.

I want to go shopping.

Amen to that! We don't live on credit, so if we don't have the cash, we don't buy it. Saving right now for a concert trip to Portland, OR next month, so vaping budget is limited right now, and I'm out of all my favorite juices. :-(

Unfortunately I'm living the nightmare now. I had a once favorite juice supplier, who product has turned in to absolute, utter $#!+. Their juices used to be so flavorful and delicious... now they're just bland with a hint of some strange chemical. I thought it might have been due to me using it in a tank, well, it tastes like garbage regardless of what I use it in.

Also unfortunate, I'm kinda broke, lol. So I can't go online just ordering samples from every supplier to see if I happen to run across something that works for me :(

Id put what I have up in the swap thread, but I can't bring myself to put anyone through a disappointing experience, lol.

Ugh a juice changing is as bad as it stopping.

Wouldn't it be great if maybe someone here has your fave and they don't like it and would send it to you. Don't people here trade and stuff sometimes?

have you tried DIY?? It's a fabulous option for when you're broke,,,it's really cheap. Even if you don't EXCLUSIVELY DIY, if you have a few flavors you can make that you like for those broke times, it's helpful.

even if you DIY, you might have a problem with the FLAVORINGS going out or being hard to find,,,,,

my favorite is DIY Juicy Peach using TFA Juicy Peach flavor,,,,,,,

yeah, sometimes it's just dang hard to find,,,,,

Wizard Labs hardly EVER has the stuff,,,,,,,,RTS vapes I can buy it in 120ml (thank god) when they have it,,,,,,,,this past time, I accidentally ordered REGULAR peach,,,,,,,

and it appears they are OUT of the Juicy Peach again.

sigh. and what if TFA stops making the stuff?????? GAAH!!!!!!!!!! my nightmare!

yep, it can still happen,,,,,,,,,,

I have never had a problem getting TFA juicy peach but I get my flavorings direct from TFA :)

when I started I saw people crying because they couldn't get their favorite liquid (for whatever reason) I decided I didn't want to become dependent on one vendor. it took a long time but I finally settled on a few liquids from different vendors. then i decided to try unflavored. I love it and vape it daily along with some simple & mild flavors, mostly menthols and fruits.
one of my favorite vendors quit the business - but he nicely gave me his menthol recipe
but really I am posting to recommend trying unflavored. then you are tied to no vendor :)

I'm actually planning on buying some DIY supplies after I get paid :D.

The way I see it, I generally buy a few different types of juice I don't mind vaping alone (and will vape alone), but taste great when mixed together. Like I said above though, seems like the place I normally buy juice from turned to crap, so the juices taste horrible by themselves, and alright mixed, but nothing i actually WANT to vape.

If I do my own juice, I get to control and fine tune the flavor. So the cinnamon/caramel/espresso/banana flavor I like so much can be tweaked just right instead of having to constantly adjust the flavors I mix together :)

I checked a few different sites, and it looks like even though the initial investment of supplies will be a little much, I should be able to get enough to make a couple years worth of juice out of it... and assuming i don't toss pipettes and syringes, ill be just fine on that front.

I work with a caretaker in Michigan making tinctures and stuff for his patients, so I have a ton of glass dripper bottles and printable labels already which always get sterilized and reused.

My fear is my vendor no longer making any liquids. Since they've just opened a B&M, I think it's safe to say they will be around for a while. My liquid favorites have changed, but I still go with different flavors from the same vendor.

I tried to find a backup vendor, but nothing came close to mine. :( I really hate trying tons of different things. :)

Did any of that make sense? :blink:

Makes perfect sense to me!

I'm lucky in that I've found several juices I really really love. The only problem is that they're all from the same vendor. (Something about his juices really hits my tastebuds the right way.) Anyway, I've thought about what I would do if he went out of business. I've found nothing even remotely comparable. Not to say I haven't found other good juices, I just haven't found anything that tastes even somewhat similar to his.

I figure if they ban the sale of juice on the internet, I'd approach him about buying bottles of just flavoring and mix it myself.

DIY is not really an option because I would have no idea where to start since they taste so unique.

Even thinking about it makes me want to buy more just-in-case...

Well...I just took the DIY plunge and ordered this Anniversary Artisan's Mixing Kit - One Stop DIY Shop Store for what seemed to be a great price and a bunch of extra flavors. I blame YOU guys...yes....YOU :laugh:

This ought to be a very interesting experiment as I'm a terrible cook and all fumble fingered. Eeek. Will let you know how it works out.
