I've heard good things about Jughead's although I haven't personally used them. All my juices are from the states, but Jughead's is highly regarded on this board. As for the stardusts, get 3 of both and see which one you prefer.

Thanks but they are apparently closed. Did you try Crystal e-liquid which should be available here as well?

Hello fellow Canadian vapers. I too am trying to get my required posts in. It took me a long time to purchase my e-cig. I actually waited until I took a trip south because I had no clue what problems the Canadian laws might pose. Smoked for 30 some odd years but, after vaping, found I didn't need to light up! Now it's a question of finding out how to get supplies so I don't ever need to go back (scary thought)!

After 5 posts you should be able to ask for the list in Canada Forum. For me it worked after 6th post.

Hi mitarbre, welcome!
My first e-liq purchase was from the supplier you mentioned.
Quality stuff at a premium price.

BUT....

1. No sample sizes
2. Actually from the U.S.A.
3. Of the 4 flavours I ordered(over 100 bucks worth)
only 1 flavour I liked(French Vanilla)

Sample sizes are defiantly the way to go when you're new!

If I'd purchased 3-5 mil. sample sizes, for the same 100 dollars
elsewhere, I could have had 20 flavours to try out!

Live and learn!

Cheers

I'm not sure what the rules are regarding posting company names for Canadian suppliers, but look through the Canadian forums - I can say I absolutely LOVE the "FC" juices - super fast shipping and the flavours are fantastic. I'm hooked on Groovy Grape and Watermelon (which was a free sample that came with my order, I'll be picking up a larger bottle of that one next).

I think it's pretty much a free fer all. They all have websites, and HC knows how to use google....
well, at least one person there might. Every biz needs publicity to "stay" in biz anyway.

An aside, juice characteristics change drastically over time and some of my favorite ones
when new/fresh(10mil. size) aren't as nice as they once were a month or two ago.
Personally, because I like many different flavours throughout the day I'll only
reorder 10mil. sizes. A person that vapes 1 or 2 flaves almost exclusively
would certainly differ with my approach for sure.

Each to their own.:vapor::vapor:

Good point, I just didn't want to stir the pot so to speak.

Thats interesting, having just started I didn't realize that the flavours could change so dramatically over time (my oldest juice is about a week old). Do you find the lighter/clearer (fruitier?) juices tend to lose flavour faster than heavier juices? Does it depend on the VG/PG mix?

And I agree with you on the 10ml bottles. When I first got this 510, I almost exclusively ran with Ultimate Vanilla from grbc (fantastic flavour imo), but after about 10ml, I was ready for something different. Since my FC order showed up, I've been going from the groovy grape to watermelon to french vanilla cappuccino. So I just drip those and keep a cart filled with vanilla for when I'm driving.

Hi Mitarbre
Welcome! For some reason my brain reads through your posts with a heavy french accent lol. In response to your question "does it work?"...Yes!! Any GOOD QUALITY kit mimics an analog wonderfully. The really cheap kits do not work well. I'm talking to numerous people who try one of the uber cheap ecigs from 7-11 then throw them out and give up. I investigated first and bought a genuine 510-T for my first kit. I quit analogs on the spot. Haven't touched a ciggie in over 2 weeks nor have I had the smallest craving for one. In fact, my 510 is actually more enjoyable than cigs. Careful though, the 510-T is wonderful but I only reccomend it if you MUST have the very small form factor at work or something. It's small size means the batteries run down fast. 1 other limiting factor with the mini ecigs is, if you smoked strong cigs and need a pretty big throat hit to simulate them, the minis just dont cut it. I used to smoke extra lights so the 510 gives me sufficient throat hit. I love my 510 but I'm upgrading to an ego-c so I don't have to continue this intimate relationship with my battery charger.

P.S. don't believe the rumours, we love you guys out on the west coast (even though we can't speak french) lol. Quebec rocks!

It'is a great tip! Could you give me a hint as to where the "elsewhere" might be? I'm having trouble finding sites that sell sample kits.

I agree. Should HC decide to do something about it, it would only take 5 posts to get the list... But let's respect the rules anyway.

E-juice might be affecting your reading skills :laugh:. Although french is not my first language it is the one I use the most nowadays. I wasn't aware that it is so easy to figure out!
Thanks, Quebec sure is a nice place, Quebec City in particular!
 
Salut from a displaced Montrealer,

I'm pretty new too. I chose a joye ego-t 1000 mah kit, have been using it for a few days, and learning rapidly by you tube watching and on here. I really like the ego-t, so much so that I have gone vape-crazy and bought different atomizers (A's and B's and a 510), tons of e-juice a lanyard to hang my ego around my neck, a carrying case and another ego battery (it's a passthrough, so I can vape while it charges)...probably spent a few hundred dollars so far, but as cigs cost 11-ish dollars out in alberta and I smoke almost 30 a day, I figured that it was better to invest in everything I need for vaping and more so I don't give up and go back to smoking. I've bought from Jugheads ( I'm really starting to enjoy their juice, particularly the organic french vanilla), Happy Vaper and Vaper Geeks (haven't received my orders from them yet but they were very nice).
ciao!

Hi Mitarbre

The Gentlemen's Reserve is where I purchased my ego, it was the cheapest I found in Canada. Love it!! Although it is not specified on the site but it comes with the ego xl atomizers type A. So you can only use the carts it comes with it, also no cone cover when using a regular atty or carto. For juice I have only been using Jugheads, but since the site is closed I am looking for alternatives. Flavor Crafters seems pretty good and they offer a sample pack of 5 6ml juice for around 22.

Sure will. Btw what's your take on those star dusts? They seem to crack a lot especially when used on some juices but I couldn't find which ones?

From what I understand (and I don't have my stardust yet, parcel post is damn slow) it is more prone to cracking with acidic flavours (cola, citrus, etc). Apparently they are going to release replacement tubes for them, but I don't see them on canvape so not sure. I got a regular and LR stardust to try with my ego-vv batts, so hopefully these last a little while before I have to replace em. I picked up a pack of cartos to hold me over just in case.

Can anyone recommend a better/different tank type system that'll work and look decent on a ego batt? Or a good clearo? I was looking at the smoktech, but that would probably look a little silly on a ego batt.
