Overwhelmed by juice options

[D3vious]

Been trying to find somewhere to buy ejuice online, but coming from a car audio background, I see the same statements.
" brand "x" is the best you can buy"
"Machine "b" is junk"
Basically generalized, sweeping statemens proclaiming that "what I have is the best"

I'm new to vaping, and with a walmart paycheck, can't afford to be buying things I won't be using more than once.
Do any of the online suppliers offer some sort of "sample size" offer?
I'd be fine spending 10 bucks to receive 4-5 2ml samples by snail mail.

Taste is subjective, so opinions will widely vary. My two recommendations would be Mt Baker Vapor and ITCVapes. They will likely have something you will enjoy and the prices are the best around. Don't let the prices fool you though, they are good. Are there better juices out there, well that depends on your taste, and I would say yes, but you will pay for it. These two are the best at their price point.

Mt Baker has their juice 20% off tomorrow for Black Friday (code is: BLACK20). I know I will be ordering two 236ml bottles

Speaking somewhat in generalities but also from my own experience...

You could spend a lot of time and energy not to mention money chasing juice before finding that special something that trips your trigger. I did a little of that when I first started but then I read something posted about former cig smokers vaping unflavored juice and the light went on.

When I smoked cigs for about 40 years I Never ONCE had the urge to hunt for flavored tobacco. All I wanted was my NIC fix in something that did not taste completely like crap. I ordered up some unflavored 50/50 mix 18mg liquid and found that I was more than happy with the result.

Now, I order 100 mg Nic base ( $50 per liter from RTSVapes.com ), some VG and PG and mix my own. I make mainly unflavored and also I ordered up a couple ounces of menthol crystals (which actually come from a mint plant) and disolve some of them into a mix as well...

So.. My all day vape is now 50/50 unflavored in 15 mg strength and I keep a tank full of my homebrew menthol mix for the occasional minty-menthol vape session.

For me, this is as good as it gets. My juice costs me around 3 cents a ml and my Nic habit is well satisfied.

As always, your results may vary!

Actually, I agree with Sgt. Rock, but understand that DIY liquid isn't for everyone, and also is often something to try after you've got your hardware all working nicely. Finding the right vaping setup is still a little of an experimental journey for a lot of folks - it's a lot to figure out!!

Mt. Baker Vapor is very popular. I'd also suggest MrELiquid.
They're both vendors that are relatively inexpensive, but with broad lines of flavors to choose from.


What I did was read a lot of stuff here on ECF, and when someone mentioned something about a flavor they loved that sounded good for me, I'd keep a list of "things to try". Slowly but surely, I narrowed down to stuff worth re-ordering.

And it followed no rules.
I liked some Dekang I got from China, $9 for 50 mls.
And I liked some Halo, that costs $20 for 30 mls. (on sale right now though).

Everyone's got different taste, so you just have to look 'til you find what you like!

 

[DavidOck]

If possible, head to a B&M. Most will let you taste test their wares. That can help you narrow the field, so you're at least looking for something similar.

Welcome to ECF!

Another one with inexpensive small sizes is ECBlends -- $2.50 for a 5ml bottle, and they have a TON of flavors. Good ejuice, but if you get any of their tobacco flavors, they'll need a pretty long steep, 2-3 wks. Their sweet/fruit flavors may not need a steep at all, or only a short time -- a week at the most.

Their ejuice Black Friday sale use coupon code BLACKFRIDAY2014 (30% OFF)
For everything else, use coupon code BLACK-ECIG2014 (15% off)

Good Quality cheap Juice Dr Crimmys V Juice... 20.00 for a 60 ml bottle and in terms of quality theyre a solid 9 in my book... go check out their site and give it a try... Shippings a lil spendy at 6.25 but if you got bad juice youd just be ...... and hate vaping it if it's vapable...

 

[danibanani]

Is there a brick and mortar (B&M) that you can go to? They often have various e-juices on their counter so you can sample them to get a good sense of what you like. It's worth a shot!

Best of luck,
Dani

 

[spirtualguru]

i perfer websites where you can "pick and choose as you go" different mixes for flavors that sort of thing right now im using bulkejuice.com other than that theres plently of great sites out there just depends what your using it on pg/vg produces different types of vapor

 

[Susan~S]

+2 on going to a local vape shop and trying out their juice.

Most of us who have been doing this a long time have spent $100's trying to find juice that we really loved. That was before vape shops even existed and online ordering was our only choice.

 

[Chamorroboy95]

Any vape shops to try flavor?? First option is that. Second, go down the list, what do you like, what're you looking for, what're you willing to spend! As far as ordering online... It's tricky. Focus on websites with reviews. Listen to what people say and go from there! Good luck and happy thanksgiving!

The Vape Mall Sample Pack

$11.99 for 70 mil.

I like the custom e-juice ability as well, and not charging a noticeable amount for the custom
Then there is the cheap shipping in comparison to some sites I have tried.

Their 70 mil sampler for 5 bottles of 70 mils each is only $46.99

 

[Winters]

I've tried v2 and Johnson Creek's juices. The first is 3/1 pg and the second is 100% vg. It may not be due only to the pg x vg issue, but I found that Johnson Creek's taste better, but decay with prolonged heat and tend to clog the coils (vg issue).

I also think going to a B&M would be your best bet because the staff is usually very nice and more than happy to help as well as let you try anything you want. It's going to be a personal preference as to which you like best so just sample sample sample!

 

[sketchness]

It would be helpful to know what you have tried and liked already. I got some stuff from ITC vapes it was average in my opinion. But better than many of the juices I have tried at brick and mortar shops. I have the dr crimmy's custard overdose. It is decent to good right out of the box. But you can smell that it is basically there take on custard with Capella's vanilla custard flavoring. I make that on my own and have a bottle steeping. All the cheaper juices need to steep. The fruits are vapeable out of the box but do better with time as well. I think ITC vapes is better than mt baker and that dr crimmy is better than both of those. Desertvapes.com has small trial sizes but nic level is limited, and I can't comment on quality as I have not tried any juice from them. But I have bought drip tips and stuff, really fast shipping and excellent service.

My favorite is Nicoticket. They aren't exactly cheap but they are reasonable and I have at least liked the 12 flavors I have tried from them. Name another vendor you can say that about and I will try them too. Love Wakonda, Creme Brulee, Betelgeuse, Custards Last Stand, Grandmas Cinnamon Danish, and Strawnilla. You can check out 60mls of premium juice for about $34. May not be something you can afford right this second but check them out when you can. They have smaller sizes but it is less economical.

Welcome D3vious

Taste is so subjective (as you've figured out.) As others have mentioned, try to find a storefront where you can at least sample some different flavors. Once you have some profiles of what you're seeking, you can start to narrow down your field.

I bought a lot of juice from my B&M, two small orders from Mt. Baker Vapor, and one time I hit up Killer-Juice during one of its weekend sales. K-J features about 6 or 8 flavors each week for about $3/15 mL bottles. Of course, there are shipping fees, but that's not a bad route to try, especially if you are fairly new and have limited resources.

There are other sites which offer "samplers" - zamplebox.com is one of them. You can usually get about 45-50 mL for about $25 per month. It's a subscription plan (so if you do join, make sure you properly UNSUBSCRIBE if you don't want the auto deliveries/charges in the future.)

And, just as a personal note, a LOT of people claim they have an ADV (all-day vape) flavor. I have searched and searched and searched. I do not. Closest I could maybe get to would be one of my vanilla concoctions. I'm so flavor-ADD that I have to have lots of options at hand (another reason why I like previous posters DIY our juice) Don't be disappointed if you can't find that elusive ADV, but hearty congratulations to you if you do!

Welcome to the forums, and good luck

 

[danibanani]

Take a good look at this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/511252-best-ecf-final-results.html

Look on page 2. You can actually read the images on page 2 of that thread.

It's what all the voters from this forum said was the best e-juices. You can't go wrong with those decisions.

Take care,
Dani

Welcome,

Buying online has always been a gamble even in the same flavors between different manufacturers, read reviews and hope for the best. Lots of good advice here and I'm a big fan of sales and discounts, I'll add myfreedomsmokes.com has 6ml sample bottles for $1.99 at regular price. mtbakervapor.com and ITCVapes.com also are cheap and well reviewed.

 

[rob m]

i have been looking for the that juice myself, it seems after a couple of days i get tired of the ones i have or they become to sweet.

vapewild.com
They have the lowest prices. $2.99 for 10 ml. The Sampler is 6 juices with your choice of flavor, nic strength, pg/vg ratio and flavor boost for $16.99. Free shipping over $25.00. Most of their flavors are 1-4 ingredient mixes. This gives you the opportunity to find the type of flavors that work best for you.
Thanksgiving 15% discount. Enter "TURKEY15", without the quotes, in the coupon box that is on the lower left during checkout. They also offer 9mg nic which is difficult to find.

Discussion of Vape Wild below. I have yet to read or hear a complaint about VW. Their customer service is excellent. Fast shipping. Consistent product from one order to the next. No extra charge if a flavor boost is desired.
