So I've got my setup just the way I like it. Ego Twists with CE4 Clearos and Vivi Nova tanks. vaping awesome right now, but the problem is I can't find anything to put in them!!!!

The only thing I LOVE so far is Vapor Vixen's Tiger's Blood. I really like High Caliber's Appie Pie and VaporPure Apple
Besides that everything I've tried tastes like nothing or no where near the description. Mostly 50vg/50pg because I don't know how I would react to anything else. All around 16-18mg nico.

I guess I need some suggestions, because right now I'm on pace to >double what I spend per month on analogs. Based on the Tiger's Blood and apple(ish) flavors, I guess I'm liking the fruity liquids, but they must have a full, full flavor.

Have Tried:
Altsmoke: High Caliber Apple Pie
Happyesmoker: RY4, Grape Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Pineapple OJ Express
Vapor Pure: tobacco, Reds, Cherry, Apple, Strawberry
Vapor Vixens: Berry Berry, Pixie Dust, Tiger's Blood, Cherry Limeade, Fuzzyberry


On Order:
Vapor Vixens: Bubblegum (double flavor)
AVE- Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice (buying into hype)

Thanks in advance!

If you're not sensitive to pg and want a lot of flavor go with as much pg as you can. Bobas and GJ although great juices are going to be vg thus potentially less flavor to your liking. Right now I am floored by Gandalf from HHV so I'm recommending that to everyone. As far as the most flavor, if you like coffee I find coffee flavors to be quite strong. Copper creek has my favorite coffee.

Finding the right flavor is the hardest part of vaping !

Only suggestion is to find a dealer which offers tiny bottles for sampling so you don't waste money on juice you don't like. No more than 10 ml, and preferably a lot less. Some dealers offer this, some don't. Find one that does. Maybe others
have suggestions. (I personally have gone to DIY.)

I found the first few months of tweaking a costly endeavor but worth it, I would second finding a supplier that offers smaller sample sizes, also see if there are any physical shops within travelling distance that will let you try before you buy. Once you find what works and what flavours you like you will start to save, promise

If you like apple, you might try Backwoods Brew Applewood Tobacco for a tobacco flavor with strong apple undertones. It's a favorite of those who like fruit flavors in their tobacco juices.

I'm not much of a straight fruit vaper. I like mine with some tobacco flavor in them, whatever the alternate flavor happens to be. Toffee flavors are also favorites around ECF, but they generally have a high VG content. Anything sugary, dark colored, or too sweet has a tendency to clog cartomizers, especially if the mix favors the VG side.
 
I like Johnson Creek Smoke Juice, they have sampler kits and 100% pg and 100%vg liquids. Personally I've tried most of thier Red Oak Line which is the 100%vg line that they offer. I am getting really curious about DIY seems way cheaper but am reluctant because of all the stuff going around about vendor saying thier DIY nic strength is one thing then u test it and find out it is up to 300 times stronger than advertised. That's scary stuff man.

if you like fruit.. RAWRvapor is the best ive found... you can get double flavor in the comments section of the order... i always get double flavor on every juice.
the tigers blood from virgin is good, got a sample of it too... little too creamy for an all day for me

ALTcig makes some great fruity ones too... highly recommend them.

Yep, very true. It's a bit expensive at first, but eventually you'll start saving a ton over analogs.

Totally agree on Rawr. Tons of flavor without tasting like chemicals. I'd also suggest Virgin Vapor if you're in to sweet and creamy. Try Black Cherry Marshmallow or Crème Caramel. Lots of flavor there too.

Thank you, and I will definitely start diving into all your suggestions. I really like the sensation, but I want to be prepared when I decide to drop the analogs 100%. I am down from 11-12 a day to 3-4 which is great IMO, but not an ultimate goal. I'm gonna need a selection of liquids and fall backs if I'm going to stop completely.

X3 on the samples. I try to order a couple whenever I order my regular juice. Some places will have specials on multiple bottle sample packs. It's a good way to try out juices without the the commitment and expense of larger bottles.

This is the problem, I have no regular juice. I'm over $100 in samples and have found 1 flavor I like.
So in flavors/$ terms I'm liking 1% off everything I try?!?

Not sure how long you've been vaping but your taste buds will change. As you're still smoking it will take longer for that change to occur. Once it does you may not like what you like now and stuff you don't like now might suddenly be the best thing you've found. Don't throw the rejects away ;)

I stopped stinkies the day I got my gear. The juices I tried then at the beginning were good for a couple of months and then my tastebuds and nose woke up and they didn't taste good any longer. I still have 3 juices I like from about a year ago but all the rest are new. I had done a lot of reading before I decided to try vaping so I had some warning about the flavor issues. I bought only sample sized bottles for a long time. I also found that some stuff I don't like to eat or drink was very tasty as a vape.

I found if I really didn't want to smoke stinkies and I was out of the stuff I liked I could vape the stuff I didn't like so much until I got more that I did like.

YMMV
