So, since another vendor has decided to call us "refugees" I thought I would start this thread for customers of a certain vendor who are now searching for a new vendor(s). Since taste is subjective I will only say flavors I've liked so far as someone may like something I would pass on.
My favorite flavor was Blueberry Smoothie. So far I've tried 5 different vendors. 18 different flavors. Any I'm not currently vaping are steeping. There are 3 I like so far. 2 from The Vapor Chef: Hobbes Blood and Unicorn Poop and 1 from Nicoticket: Creme Brulee. A couple others have shown promise but need more time. Others, meh.
So how is everyone else's search going?

How sad are we lol! My favorite was always the snickerdoodle. I liked some of her others pretty well, but it has been a while and I don't remember what they were. My current ADV is butter rum from MadVapes. It's not amazing, but it is tiding me over. I ordered from another vendor that came highly recommended, but it is completely unvapeable straight out of the box. I'm crossing my fingers that it will improve with age. I turned around and ordered from another recommended vendor, and a few days after I placed my order I find out that they also have crazy long processing times. I'm pretty sure they posted that information after I placed my order because I wouldn't have bothered. I finally placed my order with Nicoticket. Amazing customer service and the juice is in the mail already. Oh I hope I like it because the rest of my liquid budget is tied up in stuff that I can't touch.

In other words, my search has been crap, and if I didn't have such a life and death motivation to quit smoking, I likely would have gone back to the analogs.

My three primary vendors are Halo, Tasty Vapor and Kick Bass Vapor.

Kick Bass used to carry a Snickerdoodle Cookie that some people thought was better than Ms T's.

I emailed Bob at Kick Bass and asked if they would consider making it again.

He said the only reason they pulled it was because one of their vendors they get flavors from changed one of their flavors and he just felt it was no longer up to their standards.

He told me that he would do some checking and if he can find another vendor for this flavor that meets his standards, they will consider making it again.

Their flavors are fantastic and I have yet to receive anything from them I don't like.

Obviously their CS is great (he got back to me the next day) and they really care about their customers.

Prices are really good as well and as far as shipping goes, I normally have my package in 3 days.

Give them a try, you won't be sorry.

Too bad Ms T's has such lousy business practices because she had quite the following.

As a pretty awesome update, I ordered 3 flavors from Vape-a-licious on the recommendation of another refugee in the other Ms. T's thread (I don't know who said it, or I would thank you directly), and they arrived this morning. I may have found a replacement (oh thank goodness). The Cuppy Cake flavor has that warm vanilla bakery taste of the snickerdoodle without the cinnamon. I may have found a replacement at least until the USPS gets done diddling with my precious Nicoticket.

Y'all should try Ahlusion. Not such a focus on bakery flavors, but the bakery vapes Wlad does make are fan-freaking-tastic!

They were the first vendor I tried. Honey Blues, Watermelon Jubelance, Melon-Berry Frost, and Rasberry Cream. Watermelon is the only one I haven't tried yet. I waited a week to try them and they all seemed very muted flavors (except Watermelon which I haven't tried yet). I sat them back in the cupboard and will be trying them again soon since it's been a month.

Glad to hear that Grad! My search for Blueberry Smoothie goes on....

While all the vendors I've dealt with so far have been great (but it's like comparing apples vs bricks) I have to point out 1 in particular. When I tried to order from Flavors By Joe I had a problem with their website. So I emailed them a question about it. This was the next day response!
I am so sorry, but the website is currently being re-vamped. As it is now, there are some serious FlavorZ missing!
If you wouldn't mind sharing your shipping info, and verifying you are over 18, I can mail you a couple of complimentary juices
for your troubles. What mg do you prefer, and what types of juice are you interested in?

Thank you,
~Tina
Within a week They had sent me 3 free 15 ml samples to try. Lady Blue is catching my interest. I wonder if they would do a blueberry smoothie?

I'll put them on my list to check out. I'm a big fan of the bakery stuff over fruity stuff, but I'm always willing to try a spot of something new.

Wow! That's pretty awesome of them. It might one of those cases where it never hurts to ask. Even if they say no, it might be worth investigating some of their other stuff.

As always, taste is subjective, but I'm pretty pleased with it! My house smells amazing from vaping it, and they have great customer service.

To my fellow refugees...

if you're looking for that Snickerdoodle replacement, look no further than Nicoticket. I can only imagine what this will be like after steeping for a while, but it's really good FOOB...

This landed in my box today along with his CB. Yum, yum, yum! FOOB the cinnamon was a touch stronger than I wanted, but I've been told that will mellow with a steep. To tide me over while I wait for the steep, I mixed it with some of the Cuppy Cake. Bingo! I'm a very happy camper. I also can't say enough about the customer service from Nicoticket. My order was packed and ready about an hour after I placed it.
