Hey Everyone ... just started vaping the last 3 days and thanks to this forum and the people in it so far so good but I wanted a little friendly advice for my next e-liquid purchase hopefully from some people who have been trying some different things out for 6+ months.

1. Who do you purchase your e-liquid from and why?

2. Give me your Top 3-5 e-liquids that you would recommend to sample. Make at least 1 of them a straight up tobacco. I don't care about mg of nicotine strength or if it is PG or VG. I've tried both and like both (maybe I should try a mix).

That is it. Keep it simple and a Thanks in advance for responding.

1. I have used several vendors.
a) I like Myfreedomsmokes.com for their fantastic customer service, and overall quality of juice.
b) Freedomsmokeusa.com has a great selection of flavors and runs great sales.
c) Gourmetvapor.com probably has the best juice I've tasted so far, and they just had a great sale (ended yesterday tho.. sadface). (warning: RANT) Unfortunately, one of their bottles leaked on its way to me. I called them to ask if they could replace it -- they said they would replace my 5ml bottle with a 15ml bottle, and to expect it in 6 days... 8 days later, no juice. No email saying they sent me a package. I can understand them not wanting to send me a bigger bottle, but I'm really irritated that they said they'd fix it and haven't. MAYBE it's on its way to me and I'm just being impatient, but breaking a promise is a good way to lose my business.

2. My favorite all-day vape for it's yumminess: FSUSA's Caramel Apple
Awesome vape: GV's Wintermint (OMG YUMMY)
I start every morning with a mix of FSUSA's Espresso and MFS's Vanilla Cream. Really good together.
and the best almost-tobacco flavor: GV's Turkish delight (mix a little GV's Fire Cured Honey and it's heaven)

Just my $0.02 :)

My top two (yes, only two) juice vendors are:

VaporBomb - I love their Cafe Mocha, Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble, Chocolate Mint, Kahlua and Irish Creme. They also have a custom mix option where you can choose 3 standard flavors to mix together.

Gourmet Vapor - I've created my own mixes with them. They do have a delicious Maiden Coffee flavor.

I generally mix my own. It's cheaper and I get more flexibility with what I buy.

Keeping that in mind, when I DO order from a supplier there are two I generally recommend. VaporRenu is extremely cheap and has a load of customization options. Most people think that without adding those customizations (Double shot of flavor, aggressive throat hit) the flavors are weak. I personally appreciate that the flavors aren't all overdone and that you can tweak it to how you like it or experiment if you do not know what you want. My favorite flavor to date from them is the Bananas Foster.

My second recommendation is Tasty Vapor. Their flagship flavors are awesome. Atomic Cinnicide and Tastyfinger are two of my all-time favorites in terms of retailed juices.

It all depends on what your preference of flavors are, but I usually purchase mine from Backwoods Brew. I vape fruit flavors since I don't mind mixing different ones together in one atty, without compromising the taste. Their peach, blueberry, and watermelon have very prominent natural tastes to them, like the real fruit.

For a hard menthol kick, I go to Nicotine Nirvana. Polar Ice Menthol can clear sinuses, it's that potent. They usually have an artificial kind of taste to their fruity flavors like apple, pineapple, and cherry lemon... like a candy version.

The flavors I mentioned are my recommendations for vaping once you receive them. I haven't done a lot of sampling from too many vendors. ATM, the flavors I received from Vapor Kings and FSUSA are a little too medicine-y right now, so I'm letting them age for a while to see if that helps.

Wow! I wasn't expecting so many different suppliers. Not a bad thing ... just sayin'. I thought there would be a couple everyone recommends and then a few different ones. Good deal though ... gives me plenty to check out but keep them coming.

I also need to go up and edit ... I meant to add out of your Top E-liquids to Vape list 1 that use for tobacco flavor.

Thanks a lot and keep them coming.

Vapor Renu because of price, quality and great customer service. I love the vapor VR juice gives but it doesn't have much TH.
555-triple shot-all day vape-I recommend highly, but some have given it bad reviews
Double Dutch Chocolate-acutally I bought the flavoring and DIY and it is soooo good I throw in some stevia though
Kahlua

Vaporbomb-mutt got me hooked on it- great bunch of people
Max Ultimate--oh yes, a must have for my morning vape; strong and good-my second favorite juice; drives those analog cravings right away
Max Ultimate Menthol-great for those that smoked menthol as I did for many years
Black and Mild

I haven't been vaping six months, but I have for about 5 months.

I agree with Kevin Freeheart, DIY is great. My third real favorite is DIY bananas foster (VR Captn Rum, Cinammon Red Hots, Lorann's Banana Creme and Lorann's Vanilla Butternut)

The best way to figure it out is try a small amount if you like it then get a larger amount. Having a juice that taste the same every time you order is important. So you wll need to find that, everyones taste is a little different through. The other thing is you have only been at this 3 days your tastes are going to change a few times in the next couple of months. Don't go overboard because 2 weeks for now you may not like what you bought. Good Luck in your search

I select all of my favorite suppliers based upon juice quality, and customer service. The ones I'm using now are:

Gourmet Vapor ~ Seattle Blend
VapeRite ~ all of their extracted tobaccos
FreedomSmokeUSA ~ Hopscotch, RY4, CoffeeX, & Peanut Butter Cup
PureVapes ~ Butterscotch Cookie & Blackberry Brandy

Since juice flavors are so much a subjective judgment, I would not rely to heavily on the flavors we suggest. Go the the different suppliers and order small sample size bottles of all the flavors that appeal to you, and make your own judgment.
