Question about Juice

[dylanjesse]

Just gotta throw my 2 cents in here on juices.

I was about to give up on vaping because I couldn't find a juice I liked. I spent a lot of money before finally finding stuff I liked. These are the vendors I found that kept my interest in vaping:


- The Vapor Chef (Honey Pearry is my favorite, but honestly I like them all)
- Steamy Vapor ("The Redhead" is one of my favorite juices of all time)
- Five Pawns (expensive, but worth it imo. Try to find a local shop where you can sample. I recommend Long Castle)
- Space Jam Robo Fuel (I like "Eclipse" and "Andromeda"


Some people here have also mentioned Mt Baker Vapor. They have a juice called "Hawk Sauce" that is excellent. "Cinnamon Roll" is also very popular. Try to stick to the "Best sellers" on their site and you should be happy.


Good luck and let me know if you have any juice questions at all. - Dylan

My daughter and I were really lucky. The first eliquid vendor we tried was Vapor Bomb. We liked most of the flavors we tried from them, and many were good for us straight out of the mailbox. Customer service and shipping were fantastic. We were using cigalikes with refillable cartos. I had no idea about steeping, and only vague ideas about anything else, until I was trying to find a review of an eliquid that was Vapor Bomb's "Flavor of the Week", and I wound up on their ECF page. I started looking around ECF, lurked for about a month, and finally joined. Best vaping decision I ever made. Up until October, Vapor Bomb was the only eliquid vendor we tried, other than the prefilled Blu cartos and prefilled cartos from VaporNine (now New Leaf). We have now graduated to Kanger Evod setups, and are trying eliquids from different vendors. Since we have very limited experience with vendors, I only recommend those that we have used. Try the eliquids at Cheap Tobacco. Hopefully you will find something you like. Check out different vendor ECF pages - most of the time you will get honest opinions from real customers, and that will help you make an informed decision. Get smaller bottles at first. Then, if you like the eliquid, you can get the larger sizes. With the smaller bottles, you will not be out a lot of money if you really cannot stand a flavor. Good luck to you. I hope you find something that you enjoy.

I went to the cheap tobacco store, and she pulled out her little bar with a variety of flavors and strengths! 12 mg seems ok for me because I smoked lights...got down to one PAD so I'll start with 12 and see how it goes.

Juice - some were horrid! I first looked at boxes (they have prepackaged boxes) to make sure made in USA. I ended up with this Midwest Vapors, America's Choice E-Liquid. Ever heard of that one? I wanted tobacco flavor, but you are right....the ones I tried were yucky. I got the least yucky one called Kick Ash M. Anyone try that one? Then there was one I liked from that company in Sugar Cookie flavor. Very surprised I liked some of the flavors!

Any comments on this MidWest Vapors company?

Again, you should look online. Companies whose product is manufactured in the USA happily and proudly announce it on their websites. If you don't see that, well, you'd have to assume the worst.

I have to say that Mt Baker has been really good to me! If you order 3 or 4 at a time, he always throws in an extra bottle of a flavor of his choosing. I have found a few that I liked that way. Now that I am making my own juice, he is good with his flavors as well. Shipping is always just a couple of days.

If you spend $15 net with them they throw in the extra 15ml bottle. You can specify what flavor you want in the comment box.

Ohhhh I didn't realize that!! I think I will keep letting him pick the freebie. I like the surprise! Usually.....

 

[glointhedark]

With Mt. Baker Vapor, I usually just put the preferred nicotine strength and pg/vg ratio in the comments section, and let them pick the freebie from there.

It's just my personal take on it, so of course I could be wrong, but after mixing my own juice for the last 6 months and being very happy with the results, those being saving a hell of a lot of money on juice and having gotten a juice recipe that is my full time vape I think you are much better off doing DIY and making your own for what you will be vaping it in rather than paying what others want for it.

Of course it's your money and maybe you have enough that you don't have to care...

Here's a comment, make your own juice, just buck up and do it. You will save a hell of a lot of money and learn something very useful. Most of the juices I tried at the B&M's were in fact horrid when I got them home and vaped them in my own vape. That was because they were made to sample in clearos on eGo batts. Not what I vape in at all. If you vape that stuff in their store in their tester and you aren't using the same rig to vape in it's just not going to taste the same when you get it home... unless you vape on an eGo batt and clearo rig.

I vape an RBA on a mech at .7 ohm. Hence sampling juices in stores is a pointless exercise in futility and a waste of good money. Make your own for what you will be using it in. Same goes for ordering it online. If you can't try it in what you will be using it's a crap shoot.

hey. i'm a tight wad so i've shopped around some. never buy anything that comes from china. only usa made e liquid. now for prices. alot of the replies you've got may be good but somewhat pricey therefore i have not tried them and can't say if good or bad. what i will tell ya is what i'm happy with.EC Blends the dragon series is my fav. now before you vape you must steep. the bigger the bottle the longer it takes. i use a sonic cleaner to shake mine for 3 4hr cycles. a full 24hr with caps off and then stored for a week min. this will work for up to 30ml bottles. trust me it's worth it

 

[xcatsx]

definitely hit up the bar and try stuff! i am lucky to have a bunch of places near me that have juice, but it is always a plus if you can try before you buy.

You could also take a look at Heather's Heavenly Vapes Tobacco Flavors. Look for the ones at the link that mention being extracted tobacco. Huntsman is one I like a lot, along with Dragon's Fire. Very smooth tobacco flavor without tasting like you are vaping perfume. Airing out (steeping) helps most liquids, but the sampler I bought from HHV didn't need it.

It's $10 for 4 sample bottles of 3 ml. The nic level is 12 mg, and they are 70/30 PG/VG. You can choose your flavors. Made in the USA.

I also chased tobacco flavor and was surprised to love some of the minty, fruity flavors!

I'm a fan of Halo and vape their Torque56 daily. Tastes like a burning cig to me. Halo flavors are pretty bold. They offer great samplers too, but most of their tobacco flavors were not quite right for me. Halo flavors definitely need to air out.

You can research NET ( naturally extracted tobacco) here on ECF for more info. That's how I found HHV. The flavor of their NETs is the closest to tobacco I've found. Like the smell of a cig right out of the pack!

I order mostly from Vaperite's web site. Lots of variety and you also get to pick a free sample with every bottle you buy, or mix your own sampler (instructions on the site.) Tobacco, fruit, beverages and sweets. I don't like sweet myself, so mostly use their Earl Grey Tea and Burley Menthol Tobacco.

 

[Ann48]

Thank you all so much!! You've given me lots of great places to start!! I see at least 3-4 right off the bat. I need to get something that is satisfying and then I'll stick with it for now. You are amazing and so helpful!!

The OP is a woman wh's just trying to get started with vaping. She doesn't need to start making her own juices at this point.

I love very close to mt baker vapor and vouch for their quality completely. Awesome flavors and awesome taste

 

[Vaslovik]

So it's your place to say what she should be doing at this point, right? I just gave what I've learned for myself and shared the benefit of my experience, so if you have a problem with my doing that it's your problem. I think she might benefit from it down the road. When I was where she is now last year I got a lot from the DIY posts and ended up saving a lot of money and getting much better juice out of it than I ever got from the vape stores, so hey, what's your problem here girl?

Vaping helped me quit smoking. I like a lot of the vape stores on FB and just watch their posts for discounts and specials. Most of them I've found have good juice at reasonable prices and with discounts even better. I'm still experimenting and finding juices that I really like. Just order small bottles until you find what your tongue likes best. BTW I was smoking 3 packs a day and haven't smoked in 2 months so vaping good, cigs bad!

I've been around a while and not giving up on the idea of vaping 100%. So much hope here that I can do it

I have a question about the juice. Did I read here where some juices are made in China and you should stay away from them? Or was it the hardware? Can anyone tell me the best places to order juice? Maybe you aren't allowed to say "where" because of promotion?


My sis sent me some from a shop in Nevada, but thought I would try other places and possibly go with lower nicotine than she sent me - currently smoke 1 pad, so 12 mg from what I read here. I would much rather start too low and build up than the other way around and get too much nicotine/headache etc and get frustrated and give up trying. Right now still playing with the Blu disposable.

I like the taste of the Blu Classic Tobacco disposable. Is there a juice that compares? I like the taste of it better than analogs!

We have a place here called Cheap Tobacco where you can buy analogs. But I heard the other day they have juices and a small bar where you can try them. Would that be a good place to start? Or should I order online. I know some of my questions are probably just personal preference, but thought I would ask. Also we have an AltSmoke about 1.5 hrs away....but they do sell online. Is that a good place?

Still lots of questions here since I haven't made the plunge.
