I've been on the hunt for my short-list of favorite flavors. I don't really have a ADV, and I'm okay with that. I typically rotate between 4-5 flavors in a day depending on which topper or PV I happen to grab. If I tell you what I like, and what I definitely don't, would that help in recommending e-liquid vendors or "must try" juices?

MY OPINIONS (FWIW):
I've already sampled varieties from Virgin Vapors, Halo, Alice in Vapeland, The Vapor Chef, Nicoticket, 5 Pawns, alien Visions (AVE), and soon some GoodLife Vapor.

I disliked all of the liquid I've sampled from VV and Halo. AiV was about 60/40 with only Zombie Apocalypse standing out as 'very good' to me. TVC was alright, but they've only been steeping for about 2 weeks now so I reserve judgement. AVE had great flavors fresh out of the mailbox, but I don't like where the flavors are going with steeping. I haven't tried anything I didn't enjoy from Nicoticket. I enjoyed all of the 5 Pawns flavors, but was most disappointed with Gambit's disappearing cinnamon apple flavor.

My favorite liquid right now is H1N1 from Nicoticket.
VV Caramel Kona Milkshake, and AiV Mystic Mandalime made me gag.

I like all of Nicotickets flavors except H1N1 (but I don't like tobacco flavors) so I can't help much on that one. If you like Zombie Apocolypse, I recomend trying Suicide Bunny's Mothers Milk and The Standard's Cell Block 4. The have similar flavor profiles and I really like all 3. If you like the fruit flavors from Nicoticket, I also recomend Space Jam's juices. I actually get all of these from Giant Vapes so I don't have to pay seperate shipping. If they would add Nicoticket I would be set!

I like tobacco, fruits, and desserts. I don't care for melons, raspberries, or menthols in particular.

My Opinions (FWIW):
I've sampled: Tribecca, Turkish, Prime, Torque, Longhorn, Midnight Apple, Voodoo, Southern Classic, Kringle's Curse, Cocoa, and Malibu from Halo. All of their tobacco flavors were powdery. I don't know how to describe it. Kringle's Curse was probably the best from the bunch.
I enjoy sweet and creamy flavors, but never really got any of the "cake" supposedly in stuff like AiV Cupcake City, and TVC Unicorn Poop. I just don't get the cake flavors. Other stuff like Halo Tribecca, and VV Maple French Toast were cloyingly sweet even after steeping. The VV Cotton Candy was my top pick from the VV line.
Boba's Bounty was my favorite of the AVE juice I sampled fresh from the post. It had a very rich tobacco flavor. Kinda sweet (vanillaish) but not artificially so, with a sort of raisin under tone. Now that it's had some time to steep it's lost much of the raisin and vanilla to a sort of "earthy" flavor dominated by the same dry pipe tobacco inhale. Not really my favorite anymore.

How advanced in vaping are you? By that I mean do you have an atty you can drip with? Or would you know how to use one if you bought it? I ask this because by far the best way I've found to sample tons of different juices is through eliquidsamples.com. The problem is, they only come in 1ml size so you need to drip them. I had decent luck with a 306 atomizer and sampled tons of flavors off that site, finding a few real gems.

you definitely should try Ahlusion..they are my fave vendor by a long shot...for tobacco, try smooth criminal or caramel wild wood-both excellent! They have such good liquids , Ive never been let down by them. Strawberry vanilla cake is great and so is blueberry vanilla cake. They have so many great great eliquids that I can't list them all...take a look-anything u buy there u should be very satisfied with.

If you want an amazing caramel vape, try Highbrow's Caramel Cake. I got it with double flavor and it was incredible! I have tried maybe 10 different liquid vendors, and I can say Highbrow blows all of them away with their natural flavorings. The fruit flavors taste like fruit, not like candy.

Edit: I saw you like dessert flavors, so I have to recommend pretty much all of Highbrow's desserts lol.

Oxtail, I sample the juices either in the HH.357 long barrel or my cotton wicked Igo-L normally topping the Provari, sometimes the Nemmy clone. I've been vaping since October, but I'm pretty quick on the uptake. I have a degree in EE and work for a motor manufacturer. I'll definitely check out eliquidsamples.com... Checking it out right now actually.

Adding Ahlusion and Highbrow to my list.

Awesome. You're way more advanced than I am. That site would be great for you. They carry most if not all of Highbrow's flavors as well as flavors from several other well regarded vendors. :thumb:

More vendors need to get in on something like eliquidsamples. I stopped in a B&M store when I visited my parents over the holidays and tried quite a few flavors until they started tasting the same! The closest one to me in NJ is quite a drive and doesn't do samples. Do you have any other recommendations for juice other than Highbrow on their site?

Except for Nicoticket. Most people are good with 30mL "sample" bottles from them. :toast:

I recently got a bunch of samples from that site. Zeus Juice was the one that had the most flavors that I liked. Highbrow Tiramisu was also one that I got and I will definitely re-order a real bottle.

I'd throw in ITC Vapes in the mix.If ya like tobacco,fruits and desserts then ya will be satisfied with them.I highly recommend their RY4 and especially the adirondike,both my favorite from them........they are great right outa the box and only get better with age.

I'll second the ITC Vapes. I love his RY4, too. Also, I love his BananaBerry. He responds fast to requests and ships fast. I have not had any from him that I felt the need to steep before I used them.

There are only a handful of vendors on that site. I don't do tobacco so I never tried the NET. Out of the others, I've found a good flavor or two at every one. Even Virgin Vapors. Like you, I don't really care for them either, but I do remember I really liked one of their samples I've tried on the site. I think it was a pineapple one.

Since each sample is so cheap, I'd just go crazy and throw anything that sounds good into your cart. :D

I love all of Nicoticket juice! Heather's Heavenly Vapes has great juice as well. If you're looking for something different, you might try P.O.E.T electronic nectar. You can order it from vaperev.com. Very complex flavor. VERY good (to me anyway). His flavors are Italian named and extremely tasty. I loved the lemon cake flavor although you might not like the cake, but it might be worth a try………it's probably something you have never tasted before. I have 3 more that I haven't tried yet, but smell amazing; one that is maple bar with slight coffee undertones, one that is vanilla bean and honey, and one that is an orange and coconut pastry flavor. I think there are 7 total. Also tried some from eliquidsamples.com. Limoncello from Highbrow was awesome! Haven't tried more from that Highbrow sampler yet, but I'm hoping they will be good too. So far, the Zeus samples haven't really wowed me yet. Anyway, just some suggestions. I hope you find what you like.
