Overwhelmed by juice options

[OlderNDirt]

I also vote for the B&M suggestion. I am very rural and have to travel quite a ways (100 miles) to get to either of the two shops that have my favorite flavors. But now that I have found them and 4 or 5 favorite flavors, I stock up in case I am not going to be back for a while and should I run out/short, both said the would ship them and at no charge if I ordered $50 or more. No, not the cheapest, but I know what I am getting. And both always let me try all the flavors I want to try and actually remember me when I do go in and let me know they have a new flavor that they think I will like. Both great places. Now that I am assured of having a great vape, I can take the occasional "flyer" on an online juice that really sounds great. Ah, that never ending search for the holy grail of flavor.

I would also suggest that if you go to a B&M and try their flavors, keep in mind that what you are tasting is usually 0 nic and if you want a higher nic level, the taste may change when you get it home and try it. So buy it in a 5 mil bottle (or several), take it home and try it out, and then if you like it, pick up or have them ship you the larger bottle.

Wow, there's so many awesome responses.
I'm fairly rural, 40ish miles to the b&m, I'll definitely be sampling from some of the online retailers.
Out of curiosity, is $10 for 10ml about average?
So far I've tried
finger lakes vapes "nanas apple pie", Fire and ice (Meh, not so good), and one called cherry afterburner.
Bought chocolate cake, and a couple desert style from smokin Joes tobacco (cheap, and very little flavor)
Basically I lean towards fruity strong flavors

$10 for 10ml is a little expensive. Run of the mill juices are about 15ml for $10. and 13.99 for some " higher quality " juices. Sort of the B&M pricing structure. Online usually it is a bit less unless it is some of popular brands you would get at brick and mortar anyway. If you are buying larger quantities after the testing phase you should see a better price per ml break. 50-60 cents a ml for some and much much less for others.

I like strong fruity flavors myself, this thread has given me something to aim at though on my hunt for the perfect juice!

You gotta checkout betelgeuse or gravity from nicoticket.com:. Gravity is good and betelgeuse is awesome.

Pick up a cheap RDA and have your local B&M build a coil for it, That will give you the most accurate flavor when taste testing. IMHO nothing gives better flavor than a dripper.
If your really in to stronger flavors find sights, B&Ms that offer the extra shot of flavoring and use it.

I've been quit happy with my juice from dr crimmy and white label juice co. It helps that they're quite inexpensive as well, 120ml from WL for only $20 shipped.

D3vious, I certainly consider $1/mL pretty expensive (I can buy Five Pawns at that rate) unless you're looking at itty-bitty samples, which in that case, I'd consider. I look for < $0.50/mL to be tolerable. Less than $0.30/mL is a better deal to me when buying 10mL or larger bottles.

BUT, just because it's inexpensive (o.k. "CHEAP") doesn't mean it's good, so keep that in the back of your mind.

Now we can go to vape shops and order online

I would give slims ejuice a try. You can get 5 ten mil bottle sample pack for right around 20$ and if you use promo code THANK YOU you get 20% off. They got a ton of flavors and if you can't find one to suit you taste you can make your own. They blow mt baker away flavor wise and you can add extra sweetener,creame,flavor,and sour . So far they have been my best online experience as far as juice goes and you can can also change pg/vg ratios too.

Still learning, what is a dripper?
Is that different from my kanger aerotank v2?

I'm finding that I like more basic flavors like honey tobacco and fruits...except for ITCs Nilla Gorilla which is awesome. So I decided to try the DIY route myself. I ordered a gallon of PG and a gallon of VG for $59.49, 120ml of 100mg Nic on sale for $16, and a bunch of flavors for $3-$5 each.

If my math is correct then the PG & VG that produce around 9,000ml of 50/50 for about 0.6¢/mg. The Nic I bought will cover the first 2,000ml of that at 0.8¢/ml. So that puts me at 1.2¢/ml for unflavored. The Inowera RY4 flavoring I bought was$ 2.65/10ml and it looks like people are mixing that at 5% (0.13¢/ml). So what I ordered will let me make my first 2,000ml of a 50/50 blend of RY4 with 6mg of Nic for right around 1.33¢/ml. The best prices I've found online are around $7.99 for 30ml which is 26¢/ml (20 times more expensive). So, it's totally work trying if you don't mind mixing your own juice. That said, the $7.99 price for 30ml of tasty juice is also totally worth the money, IMO unless you chain vape and want to save money. Just strapped for cash lately so going the DIY route right now.

if you have local vape shop, call around. some of them have vape bar where you can sample juices. i've been to two local shops here and they were very friendly and i was able to pick ones that i like.

A dripper is for advanced vaping. It is a atomizer with a coil/coils and a wicking material like cotton that you have to keep "dripping" your ejuice on after like every 10 puffs or so. They usually go on mechanical mods or variable wattage devices. These usually need a extra battery to use. Not ideal for having a 4 year old running around but they give more vapor production and the best taste. Hope this helps.

Please don't take any offense, because I don't want to come off rude at all. But I don't recommend a dripper right now for you. You're too new to the game. I'm 5 weeks into it and I'm struggling with it. You have to buy an atomizer, built your own coils, feed cotton through it. Some are pro's and can do it in their sleep. But just starting out, I don't recommend it.

Take care,
Dani

I'll stick with my simpler setup, I have enough projects on my workbench, no point adding to my workload.
Building a jewelry box for my daughter, 3 speaker boxes for some friends, and I still have a full stereo install to do in my own truck. Lol. ( added to my holiday hours at work)

As explained above, it is not perfect for having a 4 year old around, and if not set up correctly is for advanced users. You do not need an extra battery around for it, as it will work on 1600mah (aka: spinner II batteries, and MVP 2.0s and the like)l That said most carry/use at least a 1600mah battery or better for day to day usage.
My suggestion was to go in to a vape shop and have them wrap a 1.2 ohm or better coil that your current battery will work with to give you a true sample of what the flavor is that your tasting.

Yep, you're one busy man. I'm so glad you didn't take offense. It will come, with time, I promise. Just stay away from the stinkies!

Take care,

PS: My granddaddy (God bless his soul) made me a hope chest when I was about 9. I still have it and treasure it because he made it. I'm sure your daughter will love it for generations to come. I plan to give mine to my future granddaughter (if my son meets that right girl, darn it!).

dripping is not exactly for "advanced" users. it's for those who are willing to spend some time to understand what battery safety, what ohm law is, and proper use of the mod. i quit smoking 15 days ago, and i have been using RDA with mech mod for last 15 days. no issue here. and i'm not a "advanced" user. i just understand the battery safety, ohm law and how to prevent my mod from blowing up in my face.

I applaud you that you had the dedication to do that. I just know the OP has a lot of time constraints and wants to keep the funding to the minimum. I was just giving him my humble opinion. That's all.
