While I admire the intent of this thread, I doubt there is any single thing every member will agree is junk. For instance, there have been numerous threads about what garbage Stardusts are, but I love them and use them every day. There are members who absolutely love the njoy and use it as their all day PV, but I can't stand it. It's just comes down to personal tastes and preferences.

its possible that the OP was looking more into fraulent companies and companies that practice less than savory practices.

heres a facebook group that will help you in that regard.

as far as juices that you cant tolerate, that ones a total crapshoot. sorry, but you wont find a consensus on that one. i have sampled some "famous" juices that i thought were downright horrible. and im sure i vape some jucie that others will think is bad. even Crab Juice has supporters, so you never know.

As far as juice goes just because I or he or she doesn't like it, doesn't mean 100 others wont love it.

No doubt. Personally, I think Pluid tastes like Satan's vomit after a Nyquil binge, but people love the stuff. I'm sure there are juices I'm crazy about that other people would seriously puzzle over.

I think Blus have a valid niche in the market and I'll admit I've been known to pick up a box of cartos when I'm out and about and running low. The juice is pretty good, despite the bashing the company gets from people who've moved on to other things, the disposables are pretty nice for someone just getting off smokes, and the battery kits may be low-powered but there are certainly much worse cig-alikes out there. Hell, the majority of cig-alikes are probably worse.

Sorry guys, I quickly realized after starting this how complicated it could be. I posted it because several years ago I tried to switch to vaping and failed miserably due to njoy. The battery didn't last worth ...., it was 'automatic' but sometimes didn't work when you took a drag and other times it would just light up for no reason. Not to mention the disposable cartridges are expensive and tasted bad, often leaking juice into your mouth.

I bought a disposable logic last weekend when I went out. It worked great but the taste was supposed to be tobacco, tasted like 100% vanilla and nothing like other tobacco juices I've tried. Definitely bearable though, especially when you need your nic.

But yeah, regardless pretty difficult to define bad products. On the other hand I can recommend ego.

While I do have a bunch of things I wish I had not purchased because I do not use them anymore, I cannot say any of them are bad. Each one got me one step further in the process. Started with Blu, went from there Joyetech 510 manual batteries and Boge's then to Ego-C twist, from there to Evic and VAMO. I still have some left over blu carts that I am hanging onto for those moments where I run out of juice, etc.

Only thing I would recommend people steer clear of right now is the Kanger T3. I purchased 5 of them and EVERY SINGLE ONE is horrid. bad leaks and juice in mouth constantly.

I know they are supposed to be great but I think they are having QC issues and they tried to change the design. I switched over to the T2's and I and my wife/friends love them.

Thought it would be good for people to list horrible ecigs here so others don't waste their money and learn the hard way. Also, any e liquid that is unbearable (not that you dislike but you really can't tolerate).


You are wasting your breath or putting wear and tear on your keyboard for nothing;-) While this makes perfect since you are trying to address the silences. People will buy junk poor quality and meet you behind the school house for a fist fight to defend their right to throw their money away.
Pulse there is the process we have to go threw first we are looking for something that looks and tastes like a cigarette. Then we look for something cheap to give us the best vapor. After all Im only going to be doing this for a few months.
When we get to the realization we are happy with Vaping we look for something a little more substantial with quality and performance.
It seems to be pretty much imposable to skip these phases. Yes there are the rare exception but for most this seems to be the process

Yet strangely I haven't had a second's trouble with four tanks and ten heads. But I hear of too many people having issues, so I'd agree with waiting for now.

Well apparently in the past few weeks the design of the T3 has changed. the first one I got 4 weeks ago was a champ, had black lettering and only 2 airholes. All the ones I have gotten after that one have white lettering going both ways and 3 air holes and they are god awful.

Not sure if they are knockoffs or not but apparently Kanger has stepped in saying it was a known design change in their product. For now, until they get it worked out I would not risk buying one, never know if you will get a good one or a bad one and especially for someone new to vaping getting a bad one could turn them off completely.
