As for where to get your liquids... man, I would STRONGLY suggest you
shop around with multiple vendors, even after you find one you really
like. As any of the Veterans around here can attest, just because one
place can make a specific flavor well, that doesn't mean all of them
will be equally great.

Well sure, vapor is cool and all, but I think I am with you on this one. Flavor is more important to me. I will take whatever 50/50 they give me, and see how it goes. However, when I order them one at a time, I think I will do a 90/10 or an 80/20, based upon what you are telling me. I want it to taste good, plain and simple.

I am going to stick to the non-imported stuff, then. Still, that leaves me with tons of choices. Any opinion on puresmoker.com's tonic liquid? They have a huge sampler pack which is a great price, but if it's all crap then I obviously don't want it. I have been poking around, and people seem to like the quality of their product.

I can't speak for Puresmoker's stuff; I notice they specify a PG/VG mix, but don't say what the ratio is.

Heretofore, I've avoided commercialized, hardware-first, juice-second vendors. Suppliers like FSUSA appeal to me because (A), it's literally a mom-and-pop operation, and (B) they've cut their chops on juice, only adding hardware later as a sideline.

My personal preference is against sampler packs, not because I've been stuck with crap per se, just juice I didn't like; my luck improves when I'm able to choose the flavors, as opposed to pre-selected combinations.

Unfortunately, some of the absolute BEST vendors DO NOT offer samplers because they make-to-order and small batches would be cost-prohibitive.

Value Vapor sells Dekang juice, which many people here like a lot. They sell small bottles for about $3 a pop and provide great service. It's the same juice (dekang) that some other vendors sell, but I speak to Value Vapor's service. :)

For custom juices, I think you're already on the right track with the suggestions here.

Also, check out the PIF and Classifieds. There you can get re-packs of things that aren't usually sold by vendors which might allow you to try some AMAZING juices without signifigant investment.

As far as juices go I have bought some from litecigusa, thevaporroom, cignot, freedomesmokeusa and gourmet vapor in many different flavors, PG/VG ratio and nic mg levels
since it is all a learning curve and based personal taste, you can't do anything wrong
I picked up 3 10ml bottles with my initial order of an ego from litecigusa which were Dekang
I don't have any issue with Dekang juice, many say it leaves a bit to be desired, and OK... not going to say anything other than everyone's tastes are their own... :)
After some time, my taste-buds returned, and I now find myself faced with the fact I will never get to try all the juices available simply because there are so many!
The easiest thing I can tell you is start small - the 5 ml bottles are quite handy!
A ratio of 70/30 and 80/20 (PG/VG) is readily agreed upon as producing good experiences
VG can be purchased many places over the counter, places like walmart or cvs have it by the alcohol / witch hazel products.
The second plan of action is to think outside the box - try different flavors - fruits, candy, cookies theres more but you get the idea, LOL

I've always been a fan of VikingVapors, these guys are cheap, good and fast; a rare combination. Three bucks for a small bottle (6ml) with a ton of flavor choices. I am not a salesman for Viking just a satisfied customer.




Hi. Jesse, here. I'm totally new at this. I just ordered a DSE-901 starter kit from vaporkings.com along with a bottle of 555 juice and some extra carts. I noticed that they only sell juice in 10ml bottles. So, here's my question:

What supplier should I use, if I want to order some small sized e-liquids? My goal is to try to determine what I like, and what I don't like. Therefore, I want to be able to order a large number of flavors without spending a fortune. I want to make sure that I pick a vendor who offers a quality product. I noticed that mypvshop.com offers sampler 6 packs for $16. That seems like a good deal, but are they any good? Any other recommendations for where I can get juice in smaller quantities would greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My #1 goto for juice is Vapor Renu. Best flavor I've tasted yet, the price for a 30ml starts at $6.99 (only 30ml bottles are available), and Jason is more than happy to mix a "personal" blend for you upon request - for example, the Renu Custom Blend is a 65/35/10 mix, but my personal blend is a 70/20/10 mix for that little bit of extra TH (the 10 is a flavor enhancer made from ground papaya leaf extract for those who don't want to pay extra for a double or triple shot of flavor, but I get the triple shot booster with the flavor enhancer as well - fantastic! :thumbs:). :)

At the possible risk of starting a range war over who sells the best juice, I'd recommend FreedomSmokeUSA's 3ml samplers: FreedomSmokeUSA
Yep- That's my answer too!!! If you decide that you like them, which you WILL LOVE them, they have awesome sales, just keep an eye on the forums and on their threads. They're the only supplier I've used for juice in the 3 months that I've been vaping and I'm very happy with them!

I've only been vaping a few months, but from my limited experience I would recommend Backwoods Brew and FSUSA. The Backwoods Brew Menthol Tobacco is the closest to a menthol analog, IMO, and my favorite, but the high ratio of PG starts to dry out my throat after a while. Their Maple Tobacco and Applewood are great too, and the RY4 and Ejoker Blend are great, but in moderation.

I just got some FSUSA juices in today (Wyatt Earp Menthol, Hypnotic Mist, Purecig, New/Port, American Spirit, RY4, RY5) and they're all delicious, and easier on the throat at 50/50. The flavors are strong and not too much like an analog, so I'm not sure I would have liked them as much a couple months ago, but I'm loving them now.

FSUSA has most of their flavors in sample size, and the BWB small size bottles are cheap enough to try a few in one order. You can't go wrong with either.

Puresmoker's tonic is good stuff. Granted I have not yet tried some other vendors. I have 2 small orders coming from Vaporkings and am looking very closely at FSUSA for testing out mixtures. I tried PS silver leaf and I did not like it very much. I was expecting that I wanted a tobacco flavor and I was wrong. The Karma Scotch is freakin awesome though. I have a 60ml bottle of the karma coming in next week until I can decide on what to try from FSUSA. Good vapor and taste.
I have also tried peanut butter cup, Mellonica and Appleonia and those were pretty good. What I am really looking for is some good Amaretto flavor. I found one site that had it but I can not remember who it was.

The PS tonic i've tried has been quite good, but i've only had a few puffs here and there from a couple of friends. I heard some bartender telling a drunk customer last night about bluemistvaping's sampler packs. I think that bartender even let that customer sample some caramel tobacco, robacco, ry4...maybe another flavor or two. Oh wait, I was that bartender...and you were that customer.

Haha! You know, if you hadn't pointed out that it was me and you speaking, I would have just replied with, "Um, were you are the Country Corner? Dan? I think that was me you were talking to..."

I just did a bluemist order. I didn't do the sampler, but I got the Belgian waffle you were telling me about and a few others. I forgot about the robacco until just reading your post now. I went with 0 nic, and ordered some straight nic, bottles to mix in, and some PG and VG. Ordered all my juice with extra flavor, so I will cut them and add nic when I feel I need it. As an occasional cigarette smoker, I don't want to always vape with nicotine.

I also did an order from vikingvapors.com and freedomsmokeusa.com. Lot's of people recommend those two, and viking's prices are really great!
