I know, and this is something I have thought much about .... but I do not think the juice is being reworked or remade. When did you buy an 80 ml bottle? - as far as I have seen the largest sold was a 50ml bottle. ... and what flavor did you buy [and from Twisp]. I have only ever tried tobacco so don't have much to compare. I have ordered some menthol and dunhill flavors from cig-e today which will hopefully arrive soon.

I never liked menthol analogs, but the menthol eJuice is nice.
Cherry is also good. But keep a cart reserved for it. Once you have used Cherry, EVERYTHING from then on will taste like Cherry if you use the same cart :)

The non traditional flavours I like are Coke, Whiskey and Coffee. All very nice.

Look, I can't comment on online suppliers juice but I can say that Twisp liquids do come from one main Chinese supplier- I think I know who it is- and the quality is excellent. My only complaint is that at 15mg/10ml or 15mg/20ml new bottles is there is no nicotine kick so to speak. The flavours are pretty limited too. However I note that we need a benchmark of some kind to set comparisons. Twisp liquids are a good, reliable starting point. Remember you get what you pay for. I don't want dilute or reworked juice and if it's cheaper and nastier than the Twisp liquids or the NPRO/NCIG factory prefilled carts if we can use these as benchmarks for lack of anything better then please warn us boys and girls. I now look at cig-e with caution after Mr Hamiltons experience and I won't order any cig-e juice until someone can confirm Mr Hamiltons experience because I think we need to use a benchmark quality standard and in my opinion Twisp and NPRO/NCIG (Calora Brands South Africa) are buying from the main Chinese supplier. Who the heck knows what cig-e is selling if they say they are buying from the same Chinese supplier but the product is inferior?
As always Buyer Beware.

Hi Vaporista, We are more than happy for anyone to visit our offices to see the liquid we bring in, to see it being decanted and to see that nothing is cut or added. We are also willing to send copies of the certificates from our manufacturer to anyone that would like to have a copy. I think it is better to be careful and make sure that you have all the facts about all the various liquids before criticizing products on the hearsay of one person, which might not even have bought liquid from us. We don't sell 80ml bottles. The reason that our liquids are so much cheaper than anybody else is not because of quality but because of quantity. You have most probably used our liquid already, which had been rebranded by one of the other suppliers. We are constantly striving to ensure that we can supply the best quality liquids at the best prices to the e-cigarette market in South Africa.
 
After reading this I went and pulled out 4 bottles of twisp that were in my eJuice box. I bought these about 4 months back when I started vaping and got them same time when I bought my first kit.
The flavours are Tobacco, RY#4 (or something like that), Polar Mint and Vanilla.

I filled my 201 cart with each flavour one by one and vaped away. My personal opinion is that the twisp juice is no-where near as nice as the juice I currently use which is probably why it ended up in my little box and not used until I wanted to do this comparison.

I use juice from both Cig-E and EasyCigarette. Both supply juice better than Twisp IMO, and cheaper.
 
'Horses for Courses'. Isn't that which distinguishes our personal tastes? In this matter however I believe there to be an error. I have vaped a multitude of e-liquids and must agree with the comments by “Barkingmad” on what Stephen has said. I have tried Johnson Creek, Totally Wicked, Twisp, Deep Forest, Ecotine, Locally Produced liquids, Imports from China, etc... and have found that major differences are usually caused by some vendors cutting the liquid before sale to the consumer.

There are however still vendors that do not resort to this, and sell their product, as they procure it. They are the ones, we need to support and promote. Approximately 2-months ago I got to know about Cig-E and decided to try their product.

I took the time to visit Steve, the owner of Cig-E, at his business, and he showed me his operation. I was immediately impressed with the professional manner in which he conducted his business and my initial purchase was 7 x 30ml bottles of different liquids. He also carries the quality certification of his products.

Great product!

The statement from M L Hamilton need to be corrected, and that is that Cig-E sells their product in both a 30ml and 10ml dropper bottles, not 80ml bottles, as stated. The respective unit costs are R99 and R35-R49 and not the R300 as claimed. Hence I suspect that M L Hamilton could be referring to a different product. (Maybe with the same name) All mg strengths are sold at the same price, High being 24mg with a majestic throat-hit. (Not the diluted junk which some vedors rip us off with!)

One suplier, I came across, sells liquid with the following rating H=6mg, M=4mg and L=2mg. These are are the people we need to expose and vote them out with our money.

Cig-E sells a great product at an even greater price. I will continue to support and recommend Cig-E's products, as I believe its quality compares very well with well-known American, European and British brands.

I concur with Analogue Nemesis about the quality and price of cig e. I have used various brands of liquid and I do find the quality of Twist very good, but they are way too expensive as I am using my vaporiser as a pacifier. The amount of liquid I go through would make it very expensive if I had to stick with Twisp liquid-
Cig e's service is good, the juice is good,delivery time good- What more do you need? Maybe a higher nic content such as 36mg? Steve, you should maybe find a source for the 36mg
