Hi every body! Just got into vaping, and 3 days analog free!
After researching I decided to go with the Joye 510 using Boge cartos. I'm pretty dang happy with it.
I already want to upgrade and try new things though, but I'm not made of money! (Provari mini caught my eye! lol)
I'm ready to order some more juice tonight but just can't decide where to order from; too many choices! I was thinking Liberty Flights decadent vapors since I have some credit there and they are local so I will get my stuff in ~2 days. But I'm open to suggestions, I just don't want to be waiting forever lol.
Anyways, just wanted to say hi! Will stop here to avoid any tl;dr responses lol

Welcome!

I only buy pre-mixed juices from one vendor: Alien Visions e-liquid (AVE). Great turnaround time if you catch them first thing in the morning. Everytime I've ordered from them I've gotten my products in thee business days. Try Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice if you like tobacco flavors. Hype is a very nice citrus and peach flavor. Mountain Berry is also delicious!

That is a vendor I haven't came across yet, I will check them out. Thanks!

AVE does have some good juices, but I dont think their a good vendor at all for a new vaper. All their juices are VG and most of them are very thick. 100%VG juice is much harder to fill a carto with bc its so thick, and its a LOT harder than a thin mostly PG juice. Learning to fill cartos when your just starting out can be difficult, and uses a thick VG juice will just make it harder. I do like Bobas Bounty from AVE, but I find you basically have to use a syringe to fill a carto with it, and some newbies either dont want to use a syringe or dont have one. You can drip fill, but it will take a LONG time bc the juice takes forever to settle into the carto bc its so thick. Also you then risk ruining a carto bc you didnt wait long enough for the juice to settlew to the bottom and you burn the carto. So I think youd be much better off starting with a vendor that you can get mostly PG juices from, like 80/20, 70/30, etc. Juices with 30%VG or less are much more carto friendly and soak into the filler a lot easier/faster/better, and using a thin PG juice will be a lot easier to learn how to properly fill cartos with.
Dont get me wrong, AVE is a good vendor and while they dont have a ton of juices, many of them are very good, I just think their better for a more experienced vaper, instead of someone thats just starting out. Also, AVE juices are expensive, which can really add up for a newbie that wants to try a bunch to figure out what they like. And if you do want to try a bunch, youd be much better off going with a vendor that offers sample packs, so you can try a bunch for fairly cheap. AVE has samples, but their not cheap, and they dont have sample packs, which will give you a better deal.

Check out BlueMist Vaping. There are a lot of good juice vendors, but BlueMist is awesome for both experienced vapors and new vapers. I think they are perfect for anyone just starting out bc they have such a big selection to choose from, and their prices are dirt cheap.
BlueMist has over 250 juices, and their prices are $5 for 10ml, $10 for 30ml. They also offer sample packs and I highly recommend getting a few to start. They offer (5) 3ml samples for $10 or (5) 10ml samples for $20, and they let you pick your own juices for a sample pack so you can try the ones you actually want to try. I recommend getting the 3ml samples to start so you can get a few sample packs and try a wide variety for cheap. All their juices are made fresh, and you can get all of them in either 80PG/20VG or 100%VG. I recommend 80/20 for reasons above. They also offer extra flavor shots for .50cents more, and if you find a juice you really like, you can get a 180ml bottle for only $30, which is an awesome deal.


EDIT: Oh and BlueMist is having a sale right now for 20% off until the 26th, which makes it an even better deal.

Hiya Chev! Welcome to ECF and congrats on getting through day 3! It'll be smooth sailing from here on out. :)

Rob had some good advice. I'm an AVE fan... it was my first juice I ever used & was actually what allowed me to stop using analogs altogether. I use it when dripping (drip juice directly onto the atty) or bottom-feed (Reosmods.com). I've only put it in a cartomizer a few times, but when I do, I just make sure that the juice really soaks in well before using.

There are a TON of great juice vendors. You might want to check out the classifieds on here to get some samples. Many times people offer great deals on juices that just weren't their style and you can try them out before you make a big purchase directly from the vendor. You'll need to get your post count up a bit more before you'll be able to reply on other forums (outside of New Members Forum), but that won't take long... you seem like the friendly type. :)

Definitely come on here and ask any and all questions you may come up with! This place is full of kind-hearted people who will bend over backwards to help new vapers... we were all in your shoes at one point. And if you don't get a response right away, don't worry. An experienced vaper or moderator will be along to steer you in the right direction pretty quickly.

Glad you found the forum... it will truly enhance your vaping journey!

Thanks guys! That deal from bluejuice looks great for sample packs! And I did notice that AVE was VG, and I definitely don't want to deal with that.
Wow, the list of juice suppliers just keeps growing! Even harder to decide who to order from, no way could I get to all of them lol. I'm bookmarking them all into a special folder though lol.

You should definately check out pinkspotvapors.com their liquid is awesome. I always recommend a sampler pack. Easy way to try a variety of flavors without spending a lot in the process. Check out my reviews of pinkspot on my YouTube channel! Welcome to our community and congrats on quiting the analogs!

Like I said, there a lot of vendors that have really good juices, but many of them are expensive, which can be tough for a newbie that wants to try many different juices to find what they like. I like BlueMist bc since they are so cheap, you can get a lot more juices than if you spent the same amount at an expensive vendor.
For example, about 2 weeks ago I ordered from BlueMist and AVE on the same day. Even though I think AVEs juices are way overpriced, I do like Bobas Bounty, so I bit the bullet and bought an 100ml bottle of it. Like I said, I also ordered from BlueMist, and I bought an 180ml bottle of Cafe Caramel with extra flavoring.
The 100ml bottle from AVE cost $52, while the 180ml bottle from BlueMist only cost $30. So I paid almost half the amount that I paid at AVE, AND BlueMist gives you almost twice as much juice!!!

This is why I think AVEs juices are way overpriced. For anyone that has made their own juices, you know that it doesnt cost a lot to make juice, and thats why I cant believe AVE puts such a mark-up on theirs.
Yes, their juices are good, but when they cost that much its hard to constantly order from them if your on a budget or dont have a lot of money. And thats why I like BlueMist and think their a great vendor for a new vaper bc they can buy a bunch to figure out what they like without spending an arm and a leg.

Also, and this is what drew me to BlueMist originally, they sell the DIY flavors for every juice they offer, which is perfect for any new vaper that thinks theyll want to make their own juices sometime down the line. I dont know any other vendor thats sells the flavorings for their juices, and its nice that you have the option to make their juices yourself if you want to.
Most vendors wont even reveal the recipes to their juices, much less sell the flavoring for them, bc they want you to keep buying the juice from them instead of making it yourself for cheaper. BlueMist on the other hand encourages you to make their juices yourself by selling the DIY flavorings for every juice. I think thats awesome bc you can make their juices yourself for cheaper than their already cheap prices.

I actually like quite a few of Liberty Flights' juices, for the record -- have had quite good success with some of their PG premium juices, and while I've got a few Decadent Vapours juices in the house, I haven't yet experimented with them. It's thinner than VG, but it tends to have good flavor and good vapor delivery nonetheless.

Another California vendor that a lot of people like is Bombay Vaping, and they ship out quickly. (They're somewhere down south, although I don't know exactly where they're out of, because they show up at the LA Vapers Club meet -- but they've got to be close to home for me, and I'm in eastern LA county, because their phone number's got a San Bernardino county area code.) I have not personally tried their juices, but I sure smelled a lot of their stuff floating past me at the last meet, and if that's any indicator, it's pretty good -- smelled great, anyhow. Their website is here: BombayVaping Bombay Vaping BombayVapers BombayVapes

I'll also recommend VapeDudes (it's usually around 2 days to get juice from their physical location in TX to me in SoCal) and Backwoods Brew (also ridiculously fast -- I don't know why, he's on the other side of the country, but from shipping date to here, it's usually 2-3 days max). Vermillion River's a bit slower (usually takes 3-4 days to get here from them), but they also have some fantastic juices if you're looking for tobacco flavors at all.

Finally, while I haven't actually received an order from them yet (although it's on the way!), ECBlend (or ecblendflavors.com) has a 'make your own juice' wizard on the site. For a couple bucks, you can give them percentages of flavors, of PG/VG, nicotine content, etc, and they'll blend it up for you and ship it on its merry way. Plus their standard juice options seem to be ridiculously inexpensive.

Best of luck! It's a lot of work finding the juices you like... and yet, there's so many good ones out there that I'm not sure I'll ever stop trying. :)
