Sample packs.

[Stinknugget]

I am confused as to why more vendors do not offer sample packs. Is the market for experimentation really that strong? I only know of a handful of vendors that offer sample packs. Some are reasonably priced while others are just a package of juice being touted as a sample pack. In your opinion how many ml is sufficient to sample a juice? I would think 3ml would be sufficient however i have not come across anyone selling small amounts like that.

It could run into the hundreds trying all of the popular juices out there. I have read reviews on juices but one can't review anothers taste buds. I would like to see vendors offer smaller portion and larger variety sample packs.

I doubt the majority of juices are made in a controlled lab. Im sure most are made in the kitchen.

Speaking from experience, I have personally spent hundreds on sampling. I wish I didn't have to, but apparently I have picky taste buds.

I ended just buying a couple different flavors in the smallest available size from a few vendors because of exactly what you're talking about. Very few have good sample packs. The best sample packs I've seen are the ones from Mountain Oak Vapors. Luckily they ended up being one of my favorite vendors, so that worked out well. They have great packaging and presentation as well, including using glass vials which is better for steeping.

To answer your question, I think 5 ml is a good amount. It's enough to try a few different delivery methods (dripping vs. carto vs. clearo, etc.), and have a little left over to let it steep for a bit to see if the flavor changes.

I agree with 5ml being a good sample amount. I forgot to take into the fact of testing it on various equipment. Im just begining my journey down the sample pack road.

I wonder, Do vendors generally offer sample packs until they get a solid base and then can the sample offering? Obviously the juice market is cyclical but my taste for things are sure to change over time. I would imagine more people would stick with a juice they have sampled through a sample pack moreso than those who ordered a specific bottle from reviews, recommendations, etc.

 

[The Hill Giant]

Good question. To be honest, I'm not sure. It might be as simple as companies that mix to order don't want to do sample packs because of the time involved. A lot of the mom and pop type brewers don't batch mix, they mix to order.

Just FYI BlueMist vaping has 3ml sample pack 5 for $10.00

 

[The Hill Giant]

Interesting. Have you tried them out?

 

[Orobas]

You can get 5 3ml sample bottles for $10 from blue mist vaping.

That said, I don't like their juice, but they may suit your palette better than mine.

Dark City Vapors has a sample pack...3 5ml bottles for $6.25: Sample Pack

Haven't tried yet, but it's on my list

 

[Dragonbroom]

The vapor room has a sample pack...10 30mg bottles for $25...and lots of flavors to try. Plus, it is available in any nic level.

 

[gb2nyc]

How about Johnson creek they have 3ml sample bottles, 10 for $21.95 in their original flavour and 3ml sample bottle, seven for $15.95 in their Red Oak line, I found them to be very robust flavours. Hope this helps.

Just my puny two cents here... I bought a few sample packs in the beginning and didn't keep a single juice. Mind you I obviously did not run through all the suppliers. With that said I made a criteria for buying small size juices to sample. Limit myself to 3 or 4 juices per vendor for trial even vendors I know and like. Even then it is still tempting to buy the bigger deals just because you know the vendor's other juices. Ask myself would I really vape this? I once bought bacon because most at least love the smell of bacon.... What was I thinking? :O I wouldn't even try pizza and everyone loves a good slice of pizza. So I ask my self, would I seriously vape (juice flavor)if I had it? Weeds out a lot of juice sampling. At least for me anyways.

I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Juicy Vapor. I've made a couple of orders for the boyfriend but it seems that whenever I *do* order from somewhere I'm juggling 3-5 possible places to order from. Reviews help a lot because even if palettes aren't the same, I feel like if *most* like an ejuice, then it's a better stab in the dark than some non-reviewed juice.

I digress.

Anyway, Juicy Vapor, so far, has the best sample pack options I've seen:
Juice - Sampler Packs

There's so many different mL options and also how many flavors you want to try.

Plus--
if you take into account the discount codes they send via email, as well as the free shipping at $50, and then on top of that they have a recycling program

where you can get a free 12 mL bottle of juice for x amount of a certain size bottle (say twenty 3 mL/6mL bottles, or ten of the larger sizes)-- I think they are the most economical I've seen for sampling juices that range from the well-reviewed to the downright odd (Steve's Drunk, anyone? Where's the review for that?)

On the other hand, 70mL costs 47.50 with them, Backwoods Brew sells 60mL for $32. HOWEVER, while boytoy loves malty toffee and casablanca and they do make very quality stuff, I was very impressed with juicy vapor's speed, sizes, and little perks. For those like me who only typically save their online shopping for when there's discount coupons involved, JV hands out great ones and it's a lot easier to order with all these little perks and get (from my one order's experience) same day shipping, than order from BWB though they will still be ordered from.

That being said, I'm next curious to try Kick Bass Vapor but I don't think they do sample packs.

Nope. About to order a pack. Ill let you know.

 

[Miira]

ECBlends doesn't do packs, but their 5ml sizes are $2.50-$3, depending on flavoring options.

I tried the free sample from Vermillion River Juice and ordered another sample along with it, though I did not care much for the 2 flavors it was enough for me to try another...Florida Citrus Explosion which is now one of my dailies. Just ordered a sample pack of 4 small bottles from Heather's Heavenly Vapes and 3 of those will now be added to my daily routine, Gandolf, Tuscan Cocoa and Angels Kiss...after today I will be ordering the 5 pack of 3ml from Alice in Vapeland, I can't wait!

... I get Circus Peanuts from there, those orange things you either love or hate. My dad and I like them out of the bag and slightly stale. haha Speaking of I think I will go order him some real ones and his licorice bridge mix, just for being a good dad. lol

That being said, I'm next curious to try Kick Bass Vapor but I don't think they do sample packs.

...
I always miss them being open so have never ordered. They are moving right now and I believe the open date in July 7th so if you make an order hustle before they close again. I think they close to make sure they can keep up with orders because they are pretty popular. I would like to try some pineapple upside down cake and pineapple shake.

Heathers Heavenly Vapes has a 4 pack of 3ml bottles for $8. I liked everyone I tried and at least 2 of those could easily be all day vapes. E-Liquid 3ml Sample 4 Pack - $8.00 : Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Top Quality Custom E-Liquids

Since I just started a month ago, I've been ordering sample packs from a few places - trying to the "the one". I liked that FreedomsmokeUSA offered smaller 3ml samples for $2.25 each. I didn't feel like I was wasting the ones I hated. I've also ordered sample packs from vapedudes and have found that so far, I like their flavors the best. Without the sample packs - I'd be spending as much as I did on analogs until I found the right flavor. I like having my everyday vape as well as a couple I can change out when I need a different taste. I think i found my favorite menthol in the American Menthol, but I've also realized that just because I love the smell of something (Apple Spice), I can't necessarily vape it.
