For starters I have been vaping since February of 2013 and I have spent several thousands of dollars on devices (LavatubeII, 5 Provari's, Semovar, MB WE, not to mention 5 ZAP's, 4 KF3.1's) and juices from countless vendors (AV,AiV,HHV,Halo,Grant's,Ahlusion,Rawr,Copper Creek,Fuzion,MM) suffice to say I have been around...

That said last February (2014) I discovered Nicoticket, The Grape Ape is to blame. I was intrigued by the Purple primate. I placed an order for 2 50's as well as 50's each of The Doodle, Custard's Last Stand, and Queen of Hearts. I loved the Queen, and liked the Grape Ape the CLS, and Doodle were immediate "No Go" juices. Both of the fail juices were very well made and mixed however my overuse of Grant's and HHV's Cinnabomb were going to leave CLS and the Doodle unvapeable for me ( feel free to pm).

Fast forward to late last week... I met with VAScooter after selling him an Atomizer that I had modified to bottom feed on a Reo. We chatted famously, topics to include: Reos, various clone atomizers ripe for the Reo, and juices juices that work especially well on the Reos. We both rambled endlessly and came to one caveat; we both enjoy similar devices and have somewhat similar thoughts on juices that we had both used. I posed the question what are Your top three juices and WHY? I don't recall what the third juice was but number one was Nicoticket Virus(H1N1) and Unkle Junk's Honey Do and had explained the Virtues of both with great passion. I once again was intrigued and new I had to act, (I was in a juice slump) I cleared some room in the budget and made my move....

50's of Virus, Root Beer Float, and Beetlejuice landed today. I cleaned all three Reos and vaped away taking my time with each before moving to the next. While on the first order back in march NT and I were 2 good and 2 not good, (again purely because I had burnt out on previous renditions of similar favors) today's haul yielded 100% win. With the Rootbeer and Beetlejuice tied for first place with the Virus leading the pack over ALL of my previous juice purchases.

Thanks to ALL of you: VAScooter, Kent as well as the family that without your feedback and purchases Nicoticket wouldn't be what and who it is today.

2 Reos going to the golf course for 18 holes in a little bit. One with The Virus and one with AA! The ball goes farther and straighter with Reos and NT!

I wish you would have posted this earlier. I go out with the Virus and Radioactive and get different results . . . :facepalm:

Well played chowder! I'm totally with you on getting burnt out on flavors - the only constant ADV I have found (personally) is H1N1 - the rest of the liquids in my possession (both liquid I make, and liquid from other vendors) seems to go in some sort of fickle rotation. I am constantly testing, testing, testing though so I can't keep anything in the dripper too long... I recently received a very well aged bottle of GCD that renewed my interest in cinnamon for the time being though ;) Thanks for the candid feedback - glad ye' ole' liquid is poppin' for ya' m8!~ ;)

By you sig banner I have been vaping longer than you? I feel like such an underachiever.... (Head drooped)

Seriously, I'm absolutely sick of some of the most respected juices... Boba's tastes like burnt old leather, Tribecca turns my stomach just typing about it, and I will never see the draw of AiV all of it tasted like the petuli oil sweat of a dead hippy. I however might give Fuzion another shot now that I don't care about long lasting wicks (I re-wick every 8 hours now). I could never get more than a day out of a wick with Fuzion. Variety is the spice.

I think RBF and Beetlejuice have what it takes to not get sick of, hoping PB&J has what it takes as well. Tracking info says we will find out Monday.

So Kent, of all of your juices what is your personal top three and why?

Wow! I thought Nicoticket had been around a lot longer. Great job! Just don't jack up the prices or drop 50ml bottles currently you are right under the threshold of ml/$$ that I can live with. As much as Unkle Junk's intrigues me I just can't justify their pricing strategy nor the availability of anything bigger than 30ml. I hate to take it to a price point but the kids have to eat. And by eat I'm talking about lacrosse equipment, Xbox one, overpriced sweatshop made shoes......

Top 3?

The Virus - my all day every day vape - I have a very well seasoned REO Grand that's never had anything but H1N1 in it, still my go to vape. The Virus changes profiles frequently enough that I never really get bored with it - and it still surprises me from time to time with a "wow, never tasted that before."

Frenilla - I retain a "personal liter" out of every batch so I always have some very deep steeped Frenilla on hand. It's good straight up, but it's the only liquid I have ever experienced that can mix and fix just about anything. CB is my 2nd fav vanilla product, CLS is my third.

If we base the third one solely on consumption - recently - Banana Pudding. I have a well steeped bottle that I get nothing but natural banana from. I get more banana laffe taffee from the most recent batch, especially if the wattage creeps over 8-10w... but the well steeped bottle (500ml) is draining, fast.

I can't really disclose what the future holds - but - I wouldn't be too concerned about it. ;)

10 watts?

I'm averaging 28-34watts by my calculations on my three Reo SL/LP/SO's and I have to say your juice holds up to the power. I have yet to get the marshmallow/tire fire taste on any of them. Fuzion gumby blood would coke at 13watts. With the proliferation of DNA devices as well as sub ohm mechanicals I would think that would make a strong selling point.

Oh, banana pudding tastes fantastic at high wattage - I just get nothing but banana candy after I go over a certain threshold.

One more question: have you done or would you consider an Ameretto juice in the style of Virus or RBF (slightly understated, smooth, realistic) ?

Honestly I will probably never make an alcoholic beverage vape because I only market to kids - and kids don't like that stuff.










You know I am kidding, right?



















Seriously though - we have a ton of people in recovery (AA, etc) and I'm the type that doesn't want to be the cause of a relapse... so I'll probably never do an alcoholic drink vape to be truthful.

:lol:

I honestly don't think Big Tobacco got up in the morning and thought it would be a good idea to market to kids, either... but things were sure twisted by the media to ensure we all believed it was the case. Kids will be kids - if they are going to experiment with nicotine, and lets be honest - THEY WILL - I'd rather they pick up a vape than a cigarette. Despite the dramatic increase in children using ecigs - one thing that has NOT been mentioned is that the growth in that particular demographic is smaller than the wider dissemination of ecigs... IE - the ecig market is growing exponentially faster in the adult smoker community as compared to the folks for whom it was not intended. Furthermore, there is really no effort on the part of the research community to quantify the number of kids that fall into the category of "I tried cigarettes AND vaping and I would be a smoker now if it were not for vapor." Who knows though.

One final note - Betelgeuse is yummy. That is all. LOL
