Ohhhhh I SO wanted to like them!

[luvinit]

I placed an order for a 10 bottle sample pack from one of the vendors here ( I don't wanna say who, don't wanna be unfair). Very slick website they have, and I was so excited to try out their juices. Service was great, shipping was fairly fast but darn, I don't like any of them! Coffee is just bitter and horrible, Purple is a little grapey but a nasty undertone, the pumpkin tastes like vaping a burnt stick,, pretty awful. I did like the watermelon a little and the apple pie is just ok,,, very little TH. I'm so disappointed! Will letting them sit for a week or so help? Other juices I've ordered have been pretty great the day I get them. Or maybe it's just me,,, have my taste buds changed that much in two months?? Oh yeah,, btw, today is the two month mark with no analogs and I'm pretty excited about that! I guess I'm just having trouble finding a really good all day vape. Perhaps I need to try out some tobacco flavors again,, I like the fruits but I get kinda sick of em after awhile. I need good solid TH, and a good solid flavor with no bitterness. I know taste is subjective but I'm spending way more than I ever would have on analogs and I must stop the madness!! Placed yet ANOTHER order today (with yet ANOTHER vendor) for some RY4 since lots of people here seem to like that one... time will tell.. and any suggestions for good solid, kinda nutty, kinda chocolatey, maybe a little tobaccoey flavors would be much appreciated!!

Let em steep for a week,,, but in my honest opinion every juice I have ever liked I liked right out of the bottle, and if I didnt like it the day I got it I never did, and the ones I did like usually got better after steeping for just a few days, and it is still that way as of almost 3yrs L8TR., Just my own personal View

 

[luvinit]

Thanks mwa... is it possible my cartos are crappy? I hope not, cuz I bought a ton of them... seems to me a carto is a carto but maybe not?

 

[MediocreTrombonist]

Not all cartos are equal in my opinion, but there are plenty of great ones out there

 

[charady]

for fruity flavors you cannot go wrong with Elite Vaporworks Home (and he has free shipping all day every day!) Very "true" fruit flavor versus the candy/sweet flavors some other vendors have.

I can't really recommend a tobacco type flavor because I only have two I like-cowboy from VaporBomb.com (more sweet flavor to it though) and bounty hunter from www.nitelitevapor.com (again, sweet type flavor-its what I like apparently lol) Also, vanilla strait from nitelitevapor is pretty darn good too

 

[luvinit]

Thanks for the feedback!

Go to PIF and maybe trade the juice you don't like.

Keep your eye on classifieds. Sometimes you can pick up a lot of samples from different vendors to try.

I've never tried it so I'm not giving any kind of personal recommendation, but Copper Creek House Blend is popular. So it Nitelite Bounty Hunter.

Copper Creek house blend hits almost all of those in one. Hopefully you like it! Also Bounty Hunter from nite lite is well liked on here and hits those as well. It's always a bummer to get a lot of liquid and then not enjoy them. We've all been there and done that. Personally I enjoy tobacco liquids extracted from actual tobacco. Some people hate them because they're too hay tasting while others love that taste. Hope you can find something you enjoy!

You didn't mention the hardware you are vaping. It might help if you told us what you are using. You also could be suffering from the temporary loss of taste that new vapers sometimes experience, partly due to de-hydration of the throat and sinuses. It's Winter and that can happen easily. Drink lots of water and try some saline nasal spray to re-hydrate your sinuses.

Getting cartos thoroughly saturated is critical, at least on the first fill.

Try the method in the video below. I like to let mine sit in the juice for a few minutes to make sure it soaks in completely.

Two things... One...

House blend is amazing! As is the other copper creek juices i've tried. Apple Cider is the only one that got "better" with steeping, the rest were great right out of the box. Pumpkin pie is also quite amazing, and grogg is a solid cinnamon flavor.

Second, luceblueboy... What juices are extracted from tobacco? I'd love to try one in all honesty, but normally vendors don't list the flavors they used or where they obtained them.

 

[luceblueboy]

There's a few companies that use extracted tobacco. All these companies have a distinct process so you're never going to get the exact same flavor even if they seem similar.

want2vape: red pirate, stockholm (from smokeless tobacco), Managua, Blondie, Tabac, Alcazar (all from cigars), Louisville, London (pipe tobacco)

Goodejuice house brewed tobacco

Vaperite natural and organic tobaccos

Primevaping natural tobaccos

Highbrow Vapor Tobaccos

I've been enjoying several that match that description: Vapor Station Texas, Tennessee, and Phoenix. Texas is more tobacco with subtle nutty and cocoa tones. Tennessee a little more towards nutty/cocoa, and Phoenix a little more as well. You can also do a sampler pack from VS Vapor.

One drawback, they are on vacation till next Friday, but I think you can still place orders, you'll just have a little bit of a wait for shipping.

 

[wickedalibi]

I second the Vapor Station!! I like Frisco! Hazelnut & Tobacco..YUM

 

[tsunami987]

luce... since i've never ordered any of those... Suggestions? I think i'd actually like that, since I was a bit of a picky smoker back in the day. Any you'd recommend?

Well, it's all very subjective as far as taste goes and each individual person has a different like as far as juices go and even Attty/Carto's for sure. Me, I like the filler-less cartos - Vision Mini holds 2-2.5ml's of juice, I find the vape much cleaner over a carto with filler in it and I just hate the taste of that dam filler in carto's anymore, so I rarely even ever use a boge carto ( which is a good carto ) I really enjoy these Visons type carto's that Gotvapes sells more then anything as far as a carto goes and when I use one, I also am more of an Atty guy and like using 510 Atty's HH-357's, as well as Iken i06's and like using them both in tanks better than anything else in the vape world. Hanna the guy who makes the HH-357 is also coming out with a new Atty tank very shorty and it probably will be very good knowing Hanna, and lastly but by far least Jason from Good Sense vapor dot com is just now making the Ikenvape I06 DCA and is sending out the Beta units possibly this week, I think these will also be pretty sweet. For me its all about keeping that Atty constantly wet and making it vape like a freight train

steeping may help with your nasty juice situation, but it's not a guarantee. Try not to be too discouraged by this because its just a part of this vaping life. I think many vapors find their PV of choice before they find their treasured juices.

Sounds like we are in the same boat as you! My husband and I have been vaping and off analogs for about 6 weeks now and have spent at least double what we spent smoking. We bought an Ego firt, then a Kgo and now a Lavatube each. Not to mention a ton of juice from a ton of vendors along with a whole lot of DIY flavorings, Unflavored Nic, and supplies and we STILL have not found many juices we actually like. Some have been vapeable but not many can we actually say we really like. UUUGGHH! Our problem has mostly been that the juices just don't have enough flavor. Even the flavors we did like just aren't flavorful enough. Especially when they firdt arrive. They seem to get a little better in time but WE NEED MORE FLAVOR!! If anyone can recommend a vendor who has extremely flavorful juices I would greatly appreciate it. Yesterday our $40 worth of juice arrived from Juicy Vapor, which I read and watched a ton of reviews on, and they seem to be very light on flavor too. Now I realize they haven't had time to steep, but as mwa102464 said, most of the juices that were good, were at least decent right out of the mailbox. Is it just us? Is anyone else having this same issue? We did place an order at Mrs T's but haven't received them yet so with all the Hype of Mrs. T's, I hope those have more flavor. If not I'm going to have to assume I'm just asking too much out of my juices. LOL Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

If you don't seem to get enough flavor then you have the same problem I had. Lately the only vendor that hasn't stirred me wrong was Vape~A~Licious juice. I would HIGHLY recommend them!! They have some really good tasting stuff that is just amazing to vape. My fav's are---> AG's Dream, D's All Day, STL Gooey Butter Cake, and the Peach Bellini Tea. Plus she has a 10% coupon for us ECF users... "ECF10"

 

[Lethalp]

One other thing before u pitch ur juices, ck out the thread in the DIY section titled "vinegar" there are some very interesting ways to help tweak a juice that's not up to par. If that doesn't work, u kinda got to assume some juice is simply unvapeable, sometimes juice is just well....crap. I really hate when that happens
