New and Discouraged

[AHaley]

I'm new to vaping and it seems like one bad juice after another. I have probably tried 10-15 different juices and none of them are very good. tried menthol, 8 assorted from hhv, and random ones along the way. Today I just read where I may need to steep them first. I want to switch over from analogs asap but it doesn't seem feasible. any suggestions on juice that is ready now would help. The only flavors so far that even tasted moderately decent were some coffee ones.

having same problem. i was happy with joytech/ovale juice. now im diyng myself and it seems non of what i mixed is perfect for my desire.

It's a process everyone has to go through. I've tried literally hundreds of juices and liked maybe 10-15% of them. We all have different taste buds.

sorry to hear your having difficulties on finding some good juice other then taste being subjective D&D Vapor has a couple "out of mail" vapable juices. I really like their berries and cream and their rasberry and apple are pretty spot on and good as soon as you get it. Also Delaware Vapor is pretty good too! I really enjoy their peach green tea and i hear their red tin mint is pretty good as well.

Hope this helps and don't give up!

Yeah that always taste great at the store. Taste like soap at home for a bit. Learning the steep bit myself.

Hi AHaley! Sorry to hear you're having a rough time of it at the moment. Finding the right juice is one of the hardest parts of vaping - even harder than understanding Ohm's Law! I'm not going to recommend any juices because taste is so subjective, but take a quick look at this thread to see which juices other people have been raving about:

Once you find one that you like, people will be able to suggest others that have a similar flavour profile. What were the coffee e-liquids that you (somewhat) enjoyed?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Dekang and Hengseng juices are pre-steeped (they are out of china)
Don't be discouraged about using china juices.
They are well priced and thousands upon thousands of us love them. (I do!)
You may also like to take a look at some of the bigger US companies that make juice in large batches.
HALO, and Johnson's Creek, are two that I know of that (i believe?) make juice in large batches. (presteeped)

Where have you ordered from and what types of juices do u enjoy?
Complex juices, or simple juices, such as a single fruit, or a single flavoring?

I was lucky, I started with Smokeless Image and NicQuid juices and they are pre-steeped. I had another brand of juice arrive last week and there was hardly any flavor, but I'm letting them steep in hopes they will improve.

If you've got a B&M (bricks and mortar) e-cig retailer close by, it might be worth popping in.
All the B&M shops that I use will let you "try before you buy"

It seems to depend on how complex the juce you order is and if you have to let it steep. Just like Longdrag said Delaware Vapor has worked great out of the mail for me. Mt Baker juces seem to be vapeable out of the mail if you dont get a custom blend PG/VG ratio (or an extra shot, i learned that one the hard way). In my experiences if you email a vendor and ask them the are super helpfull and will let you know what juices are ready to go and what ones benefit from steeping. Another good option is to find a local B&M and get a few bottles to try they usually have ones that are ready to vape and can get you going while you find your all day vape. Just my 2 i hope it helps you.

Dont give up. Maybe try from a different vender.

I have many flavs that I dont like, but I vape them any way. much better that than regular ciggs,

When I do find a great one... I change my mind later on in life any way.

What ever keeps you vaping.

Try and try again , if you don't like something just put it aside and try it again after a week or two.
I remember my first time, I got the sampler, from Stinky Canuck and I HATED THEM , after two weeks gave them another try and what do you know ... 80% of them tasted FANTASTIC.

One thing I learned we ALL have different taste , some people will have amazing reviews of some juice and when you try it tastes like monkey underarm...

Only way is to try it yourself and see what works and what doesn't.

I started out with Halo and still with them 5 months later. They are a bit pricey but for me as a newbie it was worth it as I needed to quit and was seeking a well known quality brand. I feel they are a great starter line to quit cigs and most of their juices are good out of the mail. Some benefit from a short steep (24 to 48 hours) and some get better after a week or two. Tribeca is the one that got me to quit. It's a sweet caramel, vanilla tobacco type and my fave. I can smoke it out of the mail but is amazing after a few days. My other two faves and all day vapes as well are Kringle's Curse (sweet creamy peppermint) and Sub Zero (a creamy mint menthol). Both of these are good out of the gate. I think mints and menthols are more nuetral/universal and easier to get right unless you hate those flavors. I never smoked menthol but love vaping it. You can check on the Halo website for their brick and mortar store resellers as many shops carry them. Lots of great reviews on their tobacco type line and their gourmet/savory type juices as well. I find their juices outstanding. The cig like smoky sensation and vapor output is excellent They are high quality and very well crafted. BTW, I am not affiliated with them in any way but it's the only brand I can speak for to my fellow newbies. Otherwise I would recommend trying sample packs from the top vendors on this forum. The contest posted above is a great guide for doing that. Good luck and keep at it. You will soon find your flavor profile and faves and can then safely explore all the many vendors and liquids available. Here is the Halo website >

PS: I hear great things about Nitelite Vapor's juices (especially Bounty Hunter and Gold) and get the feeling they are easy to like as well. They got high scores in the contest/awards posted above.
