Not passing Go. Intro Post. Fav Juice Suppliers?

[Ceegary]

First post for me. Some background; my moniker has been with me since I first started posting on the internet, stood for Cigars and Gary, maybe I should have changed it to Eceegary. I'm jumping right in after trying just one disposable. It's either that or quit cold turkey (again, if you know what I mean).
Smoked cigs for ever, then gave them up for a number of years and then really got into cigars. I mean like a hobby, posting, meeting fellow smokers, even landed up as a blind taste tester for Smoke Magazine. Then off cigars for a few years and for the last year back on cigs, which I'm not really crazy about taste wise, they're just easier to smoke.

So I'm going to be a vaper. Spent about 3 days catching up on tons of posts here, great info but way too much! Thing is, I already have other hobbies (obsessions), main one being that I restore pinball machines, collect and play them. So I want to limit my obsession to be with vapor flavors, which I know will require massive amounts of personal trying, segueing from tobacco-like to who knows what strange tastes? I however do not want to fuss much with mechanics because I could too easily go nuts over that..

So I'm not passing Go. I'm about to go straight for the Go-go which seems to be just what I need. Least amount of fuss, long juice, long bat.. Go go go.

I plan on ordering samples from 3 e-juice suppliers initially..Health Cabin, Madvapes and Johnson Creek and get my gear from Nhaler. Already bought from HC because the general shipping is low but it will take a while to get there. I'm stretching from tobacco clones to deserts and fruits. What I liked about cigars was the discernment of recognizable tastes in the mixture of all the various tastes, so I think I'd like tobacco like flavors in the cleaner environment but I'll give them all a go.

A little overwhelmed with all the different suppliers, so I'd like to put Johnson Creek on the swap block. Tell me which supplier (your fav) I should be sampling instead, why and what your best flavors are from there?

freedomsmokeusa is my favorite. Spot on flavors. Out of all their flavors, purecig tops the list. Grant, I love the others that I've tried, about 75 so far. PureCig tastes just like a cig. Add a touch of menthol and you have none other than the closet menthol cig juice there is. I searched from the get go to find something that resembled a menthol cig and this one is it. I tried it on a whim and have loved it ever since. I tried several from other vendors but they tasted like Vick's Vapor Rub. I gave up for awhile then found FSUSA. I wish I would have found them from the beginning.

Second favorite would be vaperite.com. I love the organic line of tobaccos. They don't taste like a burnt cig/cigar. More along the lines of opening a fresh bag of tobacco leaves. I've tried 7 different flavors and out of them VR4 tops the cake. Nice smooth and robust. Not like the RY4's but it's their take of it. It won the Vapenstein Award for best RY4 of the year.

Third favorite vendor, and he's having a weekend sale, is Mister-E-Liquid. 1963 is my favorite flavor. Somewhat a nutty taste to it but not overpowering. Nice relaxing, kick your feet up, kind of vape. Cognac fire would be just behind that and trailing would be english meadow.

Fourth would be TastyVapor.us. I love the atomic cinnacide (you really have to love cinnamon to vape this one), tastyfinger (tastes like a candy bar), biscotti (spot on flavor), and caramel popcorn (tastes like the real thing). All sweetened when the option is available.

Third favorite

Still new myself, and mainly trying to pick out equipment to start with, but I've been reading through http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-you-use-smoke-what-juice-you-vaping-now.html too, some great info on juices there.

My favorite vendors for juices are BackwoodsBrew, want2vape, and juicy vapor. Want2vape and juicy vapor both have 3ml sample packs. Want2vape is a 6 3ml sample pack, you choose flavors and strength. Juicy vapor has over 500 flavors and is available in 3, 5, or 10 3ml bottle sample packs, you choose flavors, strength, pg, vg, or reduced pg. I have tried many flavors, but here are my top from each.

BackwoodsBrew = Applewood, Mellonbacco, Cherry Tabacco, Blueberry, 555
want2vape = RY4, Belgian Breakfast, Creme Brulee', Smokey Clove, Caramel Swirl
Juicy vapor = Margarita, Bobbing for apples, Vampire Elixer, After Diner Delight, Black and Blue waffle,Strawberry and Banana Fruit Smoothie, Dragonfruit

You can't go wrong these vendors, or their juices. All these companies are made to order juice right here in the U.S. Good luck and HappyVaping

I'm fairly new to vaping, only been two weeks for me with a few fallbacks to an analog 2 or 3 times a day (not bad for a 1.5-2 pack a day 30 year smoker). I haven't really been impressed with the juice that came with my hardware, and the 30 ml bottles I was suckered into buying locally. I just placed my 2nd order with FreedomSmokesUSA and they will most likely become my vendor of choice ... I like the fact I can get different size bottles, vary the PG/VG ratios and vary not only the nic content but the flavoring strength as well.

I figure it's gonna take a while of trial and error before I come up with the perfect juices, but I get the impression they run sales often (weekly???) so I can order the trial sizes and then reorder with customizing if I want.

I am actually trying to get my 22 year old son to seriously give ecigs a try ... to that end I ordered a trial size of JagerBomb and found that I REALLY like it (licorice flavor); I'm not too crazy over the tobacco flavors in general, and just ordered some of the cherry coke/tropical fruits to see how those taste. Not too sure how I would feel about the sweet pastry flavors (haven't tried them yet), and at some point I'm going to try one that supposedly tastes like peppered jerky. I truly think FSUSA has a pretty good juice selection overall ... not sure how their hardware prices would compare with others, so will probably end up with one, maybe two, juice vendors and one or two primary hardware vendors.

Personally, I think since vaping is totally different than traditional smoking (at least in my mind), I need to keep the taste/smells associated with it different as well.

I have been using HC flavors, been great. I love the redbull and hami melon. Can't go past these two. Have read someone has mixed a vodka flavor with redbull and tastes like the real deal lol its next on my list to try. HC flavors are a win ( most of the time) so far.

I can recommend Void Mist, Crystal Clear Vaping and VaporFlow. All American-made and I haven't noticed any "side-effects" yet, like taste changing, burnt/bad taste (uneven juice burning:the base (PG/VG) is gone but chemical "goodies" are still burning) dry mouth etc. I still have about 25mL left of tobacco juice from a "big name" company which give me a rush (some kind allergy) and smells like a "cat pee" after only a couple puffs.

I like Blue Mist Vaping for samples. The have 3ml and 10ml sample packs at a good price. While I've had some juice from them I didn't care for, I haven't had one that was just plain bad yet, although some of them have needed some steeping time upon arrival.

Just go with small sample bottles, there's no telling where your own personal tastes will lead you. Try any that sound interesting even if it doesn't sound like something you would want to "smoke". I've found I like menthol (never smoked it), citrus flavors, and some chocolate combinations. If you've ordered from MadVapes, you're doing fine, I've tried their Top Vapor juices in various flavors, good taste, good prices.

Halo, they have a bella flavor you really might like.

It is very hard for me to make recommendations for which flavors/vendors are the best since everyone's taste is different.

That being said, my absolute favorite vendor right now is Ms T's Bakery. I love sweet/bakery type flavors and hers have been the most "spot on" that I have tried. A little bit on the pricier side, and there can be a wait sometimes since she makes everything by hand, but for me it's worth it.

On another note, I think you're going to love the Go-Go. I just got mine recently and it has been very reliable so far. Batteries and cartos last me all day, so it's the most no-fuss PV I've tried up to this point.
