I got a sampler from them and included this. Didn't look into Dawn to Dusk.

Still open to more suggestions :)

You mean you've already tried them, or are waiting for vapemail? If you tried them already what did you get and did you like? I have another sleeper that I ordered from one time, although they were good.

ETA: Oh, I didn't realize you were looking for all VG (or V heavy) juices...are you PG sensitive? I thought I was at first, but after a few go-rounds I've settled on 50/50. I really haven't liked any all or heavy VG juices I've tried.

I just ordered a sampler from them. I've had one 50/50 that didn't bother me. Even 30/70 has bothered me, so I like atleast 20/80 usually. I know I can't customize their samples, here's to hoping it works out!

Ah...got it. Hope you like it. If not, I'll be happy to take it off your hands!:D After trying so many I'm super happy to have found a juice I like. Hopefully there will be others, I just haven't gotten around to trying everything I want to try.

Heathers Heavenly Vapes and Mt. Baker Vapor are pretty much mandatory.. I love Heathers tobacco but everything else I've tried from them is just "ok". Except cinful pear was awesome too. MtBaker.. well I'm not a fan.. I think its their nic base because I haven't had a single one that's worked for me... But a lot of people love them. So you really owe it to yourself to try them out. If you love them, count yourself lucky because they're the best value out there.. if not.. well, not much to lose a $5.99 per 15ml, 8.99 for 30ml. And a free 15ml sample with every order over $15. Both places give you the option for 100% vg too.

High desert vapes runs really good promos rather frequently.. 40-50% off liquid. If you wanted to try them, I'd wait.

Vendors I have ordered from more than once, or will in the near future: HHV, Nicoticket, Goodlife, pvliquids.com for Nitelite vapor stuff, and ahlusion.

I find that most reviews are too personal. I've fallen for hyped up juices, or tried juices only to find out later that they were highly popular here, but I didn't like them. So I tend to not pay attention when I hear that something is sooo goooodd! ;) Many of the juices I have seen fawned over aren't my cup of tea.

On the other hand, there is one reviewer who I will listen to, because while he will say he likes it or not, he's extremely objective about what he tastes. He's also a professional chef so he has a very well-trained palette. I'll trust his reviews because I don't care if someone loves a particular flavor, I want to know what it actually tastes like so that I can tell whether I might like it or not.

So I've ordered from Vapor Chef, Velvet Cloud Vapors, AiV, Virgin Vapor, Maddcatt...and I've really only found one juice I cannot live without. Who am I missing ordering from? I'm interested in Ahlusion but they don't have anything in stock I want but one flavor. I'd like it to be someone who I can specify max VG with. Ready..set...go!:vapor:

I've just been through the same process and have ordered from everyone you mention in addition to the following:
Five Pawns (a truly superior juice in my mind)
Space Jam
Halo
Vermillion
The Plume Room
Ahlusion
Rocket Fuel
Quicknicjuice
Mountain Oak

99% of them I wouldn't order again and don't taste anything like their description... but we're all different it seems...

I'm really liking everything I've ordered from Nicoticket. Custard's Last Stand is one of my ADVs. Betelgeuse and Gravity are contenders for the fruity spot I've been trying to fill. I've vaped a mL of each, and like what I'm tasting so far. Now to give them a week to steep to see if they get mo' betta ;)

I don't see The Vapor Rom on your list. They have a 100 VG option for all flavors. If you are a first time customer you can get the 6 ml sampler pack, a free 3 ml sample and a first time customer free 15 ml bottle. Use code THANKYOU for 10% off. That will get you 48 ml's, covering 8 flavors, for $22.00 including shipping.

Avoid any inclination to add flavor shots to a first time order, especially with their bakery or sweet flavors. For almost all of them the flavor level is pretty intense to begin with and you can actually ruin some of their stuff putting it into flavor overload.

Mt. Baker is worth trying when you consider their prices, but compared to TVR the Mt. Baker flavors seem kind of "crude" in comparison. If you want to test that pick up Cinnamon Danish Swirl from TVR and compare it to the MBV equivalent.

I would definitely recommend Heather's Heavenly Vapes - they were the first vendor I tried that really stood out as being different from all the rest. Their tobaccos are good, but I also really enjoy their blueberry muffin, cinful pear, and cin city. They do offer max VG (100% with their purity line). I also really love Nicoticket and Moon Mountain Vapor, although MMV doesn't offer custom ratios. I actually held off on ordering from them for a while because of the higher PG content of their juice, but decided to place an order when they had the BOGO sale last time... I'm glad I did, they are really good, despite the lower VG content (I believe most of their juices are 60/40, but I may be wrong, they list it on the site).

SharonMM is right about HDV and sales. They offer great deals almost every month. You can see what sales and promos are available by following this thread on ECM.

Let your tastebuds mature. If you just started vaping in the last couple of months, juices will probably taste different as time goes by. When I first started vaping, I needed FLAVOR. I tried Ahlusion and was "meh" about it. I traded most of it at the time (along with a TON of other brands.) Now, at 4 1/2 months, I'm not so flavor-centric and I find Ahlusion to be awesome - placed two orders in 2 weeks. Same thing with Mr. Eliquid. Your tastes will change, so don't write everything off right away or be prepared to re-visit them. I have liked Five Pawns consistently though (even though they are 50/50). Lately, I am liking Flavorz by Joe (dessert flavors) and TVC. And as always, remember, YMMV - taste is subjective.

Hahaha this is so true. The things I loved at first are now kinda like meh and (some of) the things I thought were disgusting are now YUM. I have no explanation for this strange phenomenon and if someone would've told me two months ago that this would happen, I would've not hesitated in calling bs. But its all true.. and here I am buying (and loving) liquid that I previously had said was gross.. and ordering from vendors that I had written off.

I haven't read all of the posts, but I'll second what chapeltown said about ECBlends & Mt. Baker Vapor being great options for inexpensive juice and their quick shipping; they are also both high VG friendly.

I'll also comment on Johnson Creek. It's expensive. Some of it is really good...some of it isn't. I guess that's par for the course, though. I can recommend Merango as a great strawberry juice, but it's overpriced. Vanda is a good vanilla custard type juice, but again, it's overpriced. I can live without Johnson Creek. However, because of the options, prices, and shipping times, I'd point you back to ECBlends and Mt. Baker Vapor. Will you like everything from them? No. Can you find things from them that you like? Yes. Mt. Baker is cheaper, so you might want to start there. You'll get a 15ml freebie (you can even make requests) with every $15 order (after discounts), and you can always get 10% off, too. ECBlends is a bit more expensive, but not much. I'd say that 80% of my juices are from Mt. Baker.

Oh my gosh, taste is subjective?! No one's said that on this forum before ;) LOL

I've found like, two flavors I absolutely love. So I just KNOW there has to be more for me out there...somewhere...
