Just made a single purchase of a combined total of 1,050ml all for $224 and I saved $291.....not sure if I should congratulate myself or slap myself in the face......? What do you guys think? Lol


Considering e juice is the most profitable thing you can get into (a big reason why so many juice companies are out there now) and the fact that it's so ridiculously cheap to do yourself and will save you multiple thousands of dollars a year i decided to DIY .

When i found out the 20 ml bottles i was buying cost me pennies to DIY but the B&M was charging me an outrageous $12.00 a piece i cussed up a storm . Haven't bought a juice since but cost isn't the only issue it's the fact that 76% of e juices contain Diketone(Diacetyl, Acetyl Propionyl, Acetoin), that scares me the most as i didn't know some will scar lung tissue that can not repair itself after you stop.

Diacetyl is the one that caused popcorn lung, and isn't used. As with the super subohm paranoia, it's just exaggeration by people who don't fully understand or research these issues.

I vape .12 ohms on a single 25R and almost every juice I make contains either acetyl propionyl, acentoin or both. My mod isn't going to blow up and I'm not going to get popcorn lung.

I have about 2100 mls half 6mg half 3 mg, i wanted enough to get me through next june in case my beloved flavour selection gets stolen by the stormtroopers first. Thats based on 5ml a day, though since i started dripping i may use more..

WAIT... I may be understocked!

This large purchase was from Seduction E Juice. They are selling 120ml for $25. I bought 6 of the 120's, a cereal sample pack, (6x30ml on sale for a total of $85) and there sample pack of their best flavors (5x30ml for $75). Then I saved an additional 30% by inserting a coupon code.

OMG....So my vape wild order came in.... I've gotta say that their "I'm on a roll" (caramel cinnamon roll) smells AMAZING!! I Can't wait to break into that one!

What other flavors did you get? I'm currently annihilating bottle after bottle of Cowboy Cooler...only to save the precious Tiramisu because that won't last long. Sign me up for the meetings...I'm a juice addict.
 
Let's just say my juice shopping addiction is just about as bad as my clothing shopping addiction. And that's saying a lot, I had to turn my entire spare bedroom (which used to have a king size bed,two night stands, an arm chair and a small computer desk, so it's def not a small room) into one big walk in closet and its stuffed so full of clothes shoes & purses that I still have to store 13 of those big huge plastic bins (the ones that are large enough to fit a dead body into) in my garage. Thank god juice bottles don't take up as much room as clothes & shoes lol.

In your opinion of course , nobody knows with certainty what is going to happen down the line and what harm these chemicals are going to cause vapors over time .

Most of these juices are packed full of bad chemicals , even "Five Pawns" juices were shown to be very high in the controversial chemical percentages, some were tested that had percentages considerably higher than real cigs.

Considering thats the ultra expensive and well known "Five Pawns" juice i can only imagine how packed the juices are that are more budget friendly .

You want to vape the bad stuff at high wattages knock yourself out , it's your health not mine , we do know some of these chemicals scar lung tissue which cannot be reversed , thats good enough for me to avoid them.

Orange Creamsicle, fruit bomb, crunch Berry, and another one I can't remember off the top of my head. They also sent me 10ml bottles of Captain crunch, what looks to be a pineapple pear juice, and another fruit one which isn't labeled, but smells really good! Two weeks to let it sit, and I'll report my findings.

Thankfully, that is addiction that neither my wife or I share. ;) We got rid of a ton of stuff when we moved to a different state. Yay for crossing state lines!

VW is my biggest enabler. And they do cinnamon pastry vapes sooo good.
Hey guys, how does the Vape Wild juices compare to many "premium" juice brands like Gemini, Kilo, ANML, Beard co., Lost Art etc.? I checked out their site and they seem too much like vista vapors.

Honestly I've tried several premium brands, including the standard, ripe Vapes, nicoticket, etc, and I've found that ohms for sure, and from the smell of things vape wild, should be on par as far as flavor is concerned. What makes VW so inexpensive, in my opinion, is the fact that you have to let stuff steep. Doesn't bother me any, since I've got about 650 to 700ml ready to rock and roll.

I agree. It's all about rotation. I never let my favorites run out, or run short on steeping time. Then of coarse, I have to throw in some new ones to try. With that, plus the freebies, I'm sittin' pretty with all this juice. And they are not my only vendor. Also like Black Axis, Slim's, Mitten Vapors and Vape Kitchen....so far.

I was at the NJ Vape Expo this past Saturday and picked up an additional 22 bottles of juice. The problem is I keep buying juice then I bring it home and as soon as I start vaping it, I don't like the taste any more. It is so different when you're tasting a zero nic juice in the store and then you buy the juice with 6 mg nic in it. Or I end up getting bored of the taste after a while. I've been clearing out my excess by PIF'ing a lot of the juices that I no longer enjoy. I will probably start dropping down to 3 mg too. Some of the juices that I got over the weekend is just 3 mg.

I haven't tried those companies specifically but I was paying top dollar for liquid at the local shops, one I really liked was $12 for a 15ml bottle (which I would crush in a day). VapeWild has some flavors I did not care for at all, but they have some really great ones too depending on what you are into. At the end of the day, I will sacrifice some flavor for $$$ (I can get 60ml from VapeWild for the same price I was paying for 15ml plus they always throw in freebies).

Oh my God, Yes it is. For my first 6 or so months of vaping I didn't even make the connection that the store samples were either 0 or 3 mg nic. And I'd go into a store and sample some liquid and think, "Wow, this is out of this world, I'm going to buy a half dozen bottles". Then I'd get home and put it into a clean or new tank and try it and think "What the hell was I thinking, this stuff is crap". Turns out that I really like the Space Jam liquids at 0mg nic but when I get it with my normal 12mg nic it gets terribly floral tasting (perfumey, floral, YUCK) although thankfully my partner doesn't mind that so he just vaped it all up for me and loves space jam.

Finally I was at a store and feeling a bit down because I'd bought so many bottles that tasted good at the stores where I bought them and brought it up at a new store and the owners told me it's because of the nicotine level of the juice and that they too only sample 0mg nic liquids but he broke open a few bottles of the nic level that I liked and let me sample those, thankfully I did find one that was okay so I bought up a few bottles, I would have felt like crap if I didn't buy anything from him after he opened up the retail bottles to let me sample them.

Now I just have to keep in mind, it's going to be either extremely floral tasting, or have a slight peppery taste to it, and would that be too uncomplimentary with the flavor of the liquid that I'm sampling, if not, then buy ONE bottle (not 6 you numbskull) and make sure it's going to be okay. Of course there are some that I don't notice any nic taste to at all like Cuttwoods Sugarbear, seems the 0mg nic and the 12mg nic taste identical to me, but they also sort of taste a little bit like cardboard and who wants to vape cardboard all day.
