Let me just say I am totally hooked on Tribeca. Love it. It has been my go-to juice since first trying juices But I am wanting to branch out a little. I tried Torque 56 but did not like it at ll. Way too dry and too plain tobacco flavored. So I was wondering what other juices they have have that have a sweeter taste or overtone similar to Tribeca. Any suggestions???? Gonna order my usually 30ml bottle of Tribeca (my fourth in two months) and wanna give a smaller bottle of something a try with my order but don't really wanna go the sample pack route.

I think Prime and Tribeca are pretty similar, but after Prime has a good 2-3 day steep it gets earthier. It has a peanut buttery taste (to me), and I really like it. It is one of my main 4 (Tribeca, Prime, Torque, Tiki). And then... Tiki. just get at least a sampler. It is the one juice I have tried that has surprised me. I "knew" I would hate it, but got it in a sampler. Wound up loving it.

Honestly, just get the sampler, it's the best way to know what you are going to like or not like. And Juice can surprise you.

To me, HX3 has a rich tobacco taste with hazelnut. Neither one overpowers the other. It's got a touch of menthol in the finish, but it's very slight. Halo calls it a menthol, but I'd call it a tobacco. I was a menthol smoker and can barely detect the menthol in it.

Tiki Juice is a wild-card. Unlike anything else, and easily my favorite tasting juice. For $6 for a 7ml, it's a must try IMO.

Yep! I also love Prime and Tribeca. Since I'm only about two weeks into vaping with a 18MG load my taste buds are changing. Both know taste about the same to me and I love them both. :)

I'm about to try Torque56. What are your thoughts on say mixing with 10 drops each of Tribeca and ?? I understand this is subjective but any thoughts would be great.

EDIT: I see you tried Torque56. I wonder if the results have any relationship to aging/steep time. I'm so new to this I'm not sure. I just let the sample pack sit for a few days on the counter. Shook the bottle a lot and then drip drip drip. Very subjective. The flavor is a nice tobacco with a sweet almost carmely tone to it. Love it.

Also, don't be afraid to step out of the box. I was never much of a menthol smoker, but I have really taken to Malibu as a vape. The menthol part of the blend is very noticable, but for me, very enjoyable. I have found that with vaping, what you will like may be surprising. I have liked some flavors that I was not at all sure I would, and disliked some that I would have bet I'd like.

Although my all day vapes continue to be tobacco based flavors, there are a number of non-tobacco ejuices that I enjoy as well. Tirbca has become a favorite for me, but it is even better when I switch back after vaping something different. The sample packs are a great way to discover flavors that you might otherwise have passed by.

Along the lines of "outside the box," I'll put in a strong suggestion that you try Twisted Java!


That one had me until the peppermint.

SeniorBoy: Yeah the Torque 56 had plenty of time to steep. I got no sweet overtonnes to it at all. Strictly dry, harsh tobacco.

Still think Prime is gonna be my next try. I'm trying to not have that much of an arsenal of liquids. Would like to keep it to 3-5 regulars max and keep consistent.

In order to get 3-5 regular flavors, you'll probably have to try 10-15 flavors. I know where you're coming from with not wanting to have bottles of juice everywhere. I'd like to avoid having what some people in pics posted here have - large tackle boxes and tool boxes of stuff. Having just started about a month ago, I've got more bottles than I thought I wanted to have - about a dozen 7ml bottles and two 7ml bottles. Hopefully I'll find a 4th or 5th regulat flavor somewhere in the 7 I haven't tried yet (menthol sampler and Malibu just came in yesterday).

The descriptions of the flavors have their place, but taste is truly subjective. A slight touch of menthol in the finish for me with HX3 could be way too much menthol for you. Going by descriptions, there are flavors I thought I'd definitely like that I can't get into, and flavors that I thought would be a long shot that became my tavorites. You don't know how something will truly taste until you try it. You can even doctor up bottles of stuff you don't like with other stuff you don't like.

I keep my bottles in a nice slide-top cigar box. Keeps them in one convenient place that doesn't take up too much space, and it looks really cool. I figure the cigar box is pretty fitting.

My favorites so far are Turkish, Hx3, SubZero, Shamrock, Kringle's Curse, Malibu, Midnight Apple, Belgian Cocoa. After SubZero, most of the other menthol flavors seem too light, but are good for mixing with the heavier liquids- like Belgian Cocoa and Midnight Apple. I really like menthol, so may not be for everyone. Ones I can't force myself to vape anymore are Twisted Java and Cafe Mocha. I've placed them in a box only to be used in emergencies.

Agreed, :nah: on Twisted Java and Café Mocha. I've made the rounds on the 3 sample packs Halo offers plus a 7ml of Tiki.
I've since purchased a 30ml of Turkish, Belgian and Tribeca. Next top candidate for a 30ml would be Kringle's. Honorable mentions go to Malibu, Midnight Apple. And maybe Subzero 'cause it really stands out with it's menthol effect! :shock:
YMMV

I got a free sample bottle of Subzero and that stuff is strong. Reminds me of Vick's Vapor Rub. I still have much love for Tribeca and will keep on ordering it. Just wanted to try a few others. I have three regulars that I like and consistently order from EC Blends. Jut trying to add to the arsenal a bit.

I love Tribeca.

I did give Prime 15 a try, because it's definitely a related taste. It's less sweet than Tribeca, a bit more of an authentic tobacco flavor, but very smooth.

As much as I love Tribeca, I'm unable to make it an all-day Vape because it's too sweet and I enjoy it only for certain times, but Prime 15, in my opinion, has a good balance between tobacco flavor for all-day vape and just the right touch of sweetness. Give it a try!
