Personally, to me if you find a liquid you like stick with it even if it costs a bit more.
You're going to spend 10x as much trying to find an alternative that you probably won't like. All the samples to me are a waste. You waste money and cartos/clearos.
The first liquid I tried I liked. But I kept ordering and ordering and spent literally hundreds of dollars and went back to the very first liquid. Could have bought myself a really nice mod with the money I wasted.
I agree 100% with this. There are so many juices out there that to me were unvapable, and many of those were cheaper juices. I've found if you find a flavor that you enjoy and it happens to cost more, it's worth the extra money to get something that you know you like.
I couldn't disagree more. I hate to think of the large bottles of juice that were pretty much unvapable and the money wasted on them. I soon learned how to test small samples of flavors in ce3's that are re-usable. Using cartos is not a cost efficient way to test flavors as they are too difficult to clean and must be discarded after testing.
Besides, the OP is going to be using vivi nova tanks, which can be easily emptied and refilled with another flavor....no waste involved.
You were extremely lucky to like your first flavor. Most new vapors are not so lucky. One must also consider that our sense of taste is altered when we first begin vaping and taste preferences can quickly change within a couple of months as our taste buds heal.
And even if we are lucky to find that "all day vape" (which is over-rated), one still needs at least 2-3 backup flavors to change things up. Flavor saturation by only vaping one flavor leads to frustration and disappointment. I do have 2-3 favorite flavors, but I also have about 8 other flavors that I like to bring out every once in awhile to change things up. That is one of the wonderful things that vaping has over smoking, is the wide variety of flavors.
And most of us can look back over our vaping experience and identify the mistakes that we made in choice of equipment or juices. It's part of the territory and experience of vaping. Had I known 8 months ago when I started vaping what I know now, I would have literally saved hundreds of dollars by going directly with a Provari, single coil laser-drilled cartos in pyrex tanks, and using primarily organic e-juices.
I researched liquid probably more than the pv before I ordered.
I google searched for reviews for a liquid similiar to the brand of cigarette I smoked and saw the same one recommended over and over. I also noted how long people were vaping that were doing the recommending since tastes do change.
It worked for me. I just stuck with it. Then I started reading about all the other liquids and ordered them. Just because chocolate peanut butter swirl might taste good, doesn't mean it makes a good vape. Especially all day.
I know 2-3 people that vape (don't read forums) that vape the same liquid they started with and they're vaping 2+ years. I know because I order for them.
Nothing wrong with experimenting, and finding a few you like. But if you chase the elusive perfect vape, you'll end up with a table full of liquids you hate.

Most people don't just own a single device. That's the only way it's cost effective in 8 months.
Good points and I can't disagree with anything you said. Just curious, though. Most of us experienced vapors advise new people to not search for a juice that tastes like their favorite brand of cigarette. Are you saying that you did find one?
I had smoked Marlboro Menthols before I started vaping. The Smokeless Image Ice Menthol flavor was a menthol close enough for me to make my switch from smoking to vaping relatively easy, but I could not say that Ice Menthol tasted anywhere close to Marlboro Menthol cigarettes.
Absolutely I did. It didn't taste like my cigarette per say, but it had notes similiar to my cigarette. I did the same thing for my sister and my neighbors. All vape tobacco liquids. I do try other liquids. My mom, sister & neighbors all are still using the same liquid. They've tried mine but really all prefer what they started with.
I actually don't vape the same liquid I started with but I did vape that for a good year. Sort of OD'd on the stuff and now mainly DIY.

This thread has just convinced me to take the plunge on a ZMAX too. Just ordered the Gun metal version.
Oh by the way, if you have spare cash suicide6m3, look into getting some metal drip tips for those nova's. The stock ones are black plastic.

I predict in a months time, you'll be owning a Provari, some user mod RBA's and ventured into the realm of the Genesis hehe
For me the User mod Genesis RBA's / Preordered Ithaka and Provari are my cigar, the VMAX/ZMAX with Nova's, the cigarette, and the Ego spinner with mini nova's for work and out and about.
Nothing beats the Genesis so far though. I really hope it stops there though.

Just a couple pointers from reading this thread. I love the vivi's, but if the OP loves Fire & Ice, he may need to consider getting the metal tank for his vivi nova's instead of the plastic tube. Cinnamons and other flavors like that, I think, have a tendency of deteriorating the plastic tubing on the vivi's. Another pointer that I live by is if you are using a vv mod, especially if it's one that takes one 3.7v battery, I highly recommend using the AW IMR batteries. They are just better built to withstand the rigor of variable voltage vaping, IMO.
Good points.
The ZMax has to use a nippleless batteries though if I've read correctly and the Tanks he ordered are the silver metal ones, so he should be fine

It's real silver? Or just the texture?Good points.

If you want a VV/VW mod and want more money for Juice you should consider a VAMO great reviews and you can land one for about $30.
Ill post some links for ya:

Just a thought if you want more money for clearo's, RBA's, or cartos/casto tanks.
