My personal vendor quest

[HappyTimeHarry]

So I have spent countless hours of researching different vendors and a ridiculous amount of money on my quest for my favorite juices. I initally was just buying orders from a bunch of different vendors guessing on what flavors I would like. What I ended up with were possibly hitting on 1 or 2 that I liked from each vendor but now I have a ton of different juice bottles that I may never vape again. In my quest, I have found a couple of vendors that do not ever seem to disappoint me no matter what flavor e-juice I try from them (Copper Creek and Vermillion River). I have enjoyed every juice I have tried from them. So now I have determined that I will narrow my net and just sample their juices exclusively for a while. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this as well. I seem to have wasted a lot of money on juices I will never vape but at least I have found some vendors that work for me.

Thanks for making my argument for DIY

I think many, if not most, of us vapers have been through this experience. It's all part of the learning curve.

I'm sure I'll eventually get to DIY, but I've only been at this for a couple months. There is such a learning curve involved with vaping I only wanted to focus on the basic first (equipment and juice vendors). I think adding the element mixing my own would have been quite a bit to handle at the jump. I wasn't trying to make a piont for DIY, I was really just sharing my experience. The extra cost isn't killing me (still cheaper than cigs) and I see it as a learning experience. You always pay a little extra in the beginning. However, I now have two vendors that I absolutely trust to provide me with a quality vaping experience. I can guarantee you it would take me a looooong time to be able to create a juice I enjoy as much as the ones I get from Copper Creek and Vermillion River and I may have become tired of the process before getting there.

Your OP was right on the money. It is a very common situation especially early in the switch to become overwhelmed by the options out there in terms of juice and PV's I consider it a blessing to have as many options as we do right now and hope it remains this way for a long time. I dread the day our options are reduced by regulation and takeovers by large corporations Try as many as you can now! Also my journey through this same situation is what turned me to DIY. The headaches of not getting what I wanted or liked for my money evolved into self accomplishement by developing those items for myself.

I'm with you here, I must have tried about 40 different vendors in the past year but now I'm going to stick with Vixen Vapors. They are everything I want in a vendor and I'm finally tired of trying new stuff.

Just a heads up. You can trade or sell your unwanted juices on the classifieds section. It's a good way to not throw away $$.
