Hi all. Not that I've done many e-juice reviews but I realize how my taste is so very subjective. It changes often. Sometimes when I vape the best of the best of my juices for too long, they lose their sparkle. Once I even experienced my taste buds not working right for a few days and everything I owned tasted like poop. I've noticed that many juices from various vendors all hit on a different "desire" for me. Some give me the natural taste I want that day. Some give me the sweet candy-like artificial taste I want another day. Some tobaccos fulfill and replace my analog experience with TH and nico buzz, some tobaccos just taste awesome and smell wonderful. I've also experienced what I think to be great juice and not so great juice from the same vendor.

Knowing all this about my taste, I don't think I can actually say one vendor is better than the next. What I have found that works really well to keep everything exciting is to grab samplers from various vendors, and swap flavors throughout the week.

I think I'll focus more on the customer service, accuracy of the orders, speed of delivery...things of that nature. Also, from trying various vendors, I've also noticed some juices are easier on my hardware...I'll keep that in mind as well. Just one man's memoir.

Happy vaping to all!!

I will usually order a small bottle of a flavor I see people constantly rave about, just out of curiosity. Sometimes it works out, other times not. A lot of people are in LOVE with RY4, personally I am not a fan of it.

I just browse vendors flavors and grab stuff that seems appealing, but I pick those vendors based on reviews.

I'm not sure if people find them helpful or not, but in the reviews that I've been writing I've tried to make the focus not on whether I liked them or not (although I surely mention that!) but rather on the descriptive.

The problem for me when selecting juices is that I don't really know what they taste like before tasting them. Even the obvious ones aren't so obvious. Is that cherry the fruit-like cherry or the candy-like cherry, for example? Is the flavor strong, medium, or mild? And lots of them are impossible to tell from the names and brief vendor descriptions (if one is provided at all): Hypnotic Mist? Heavenly Kiss? What the hell are those?

So I've tied to make my reviews descriptive. That's what I really want to know from reviews that I'm reading, after all. Whether I like a juice or not may change, but what it tastes like, from an analytical perspective, is reasonably constant.

ice;

I love reading juice reviews, I think they can be fun, especially for the bad ones the descriptions are hilarious. You are right, they are totally subjective and suggesting samples is the best plan. I no longer try juices because everyone loved it, I too found out with a juice I just cannot stand. I do order from companies with great reviews for service, accuracy, quality of hardware, etc... Can you tell us which juices are easier on your hardware, or is that another "juice review"?
