So many things to take into account when assessing e-juice!

[webmiztris]

I love reading e-juice reviews on this forum to help make decisions about what to order next, but there's so many darn variables to consider. Even when I review my own stock of e-juices, I swear my verdict depends on the day and a zillion other factors! Is it new or old juice? If new, did I let it steep or not? Which of my e-cigs I'm I testing with, and am I using an atty or cartomizer with it, or am I direct dripping? Because you know that totally affects flavor, vapor and throat hit. Then consider that sometimes different batches from the same vendor taste different. Also consider, did you quit smoking recently or have you been solely vaping for a while? Because if you are a smoker, the taste will be different than it will be for someone who has been solely vaping for a while. Also, what is the nic content? What is the PG/VG ratio? Ahhh! 8-o

Good thing it's fun experimenting.

Don't get caught up in all the details. If it tastes good to you and it's working, it's all you need. It's fun experimenting of course.

Some vendor's juice needs steeping, others don't. Some folks vape only 1 or 2 flavors, others up to a dozen. Some drip, some stick only with cartos. Most happy vapors eventually find their own happy place. But glad you're having fun.

Vape each flavor for a month and then make a judgement. Only a few juices will pass this test. The only thing left after that is getting the nic concentration correct, which should be at least 18 mg. Coffee and cherry are likely to pass the test.

Oh yeah, Espresso from BWB is quickly becoming a favorite. But I can't do the 18mg. I'm on 11-12mg and if I vape too much, I have a hard time sleeping! 11-12mg seems to be working best for me though. I only used to smoke about 7-8 ultra lights a day, so maybe that's why I don't need much.

Yeah, it can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. You wouldn't think a little e-cigarette could have so much involved in it's use. Sure is fun learning new stuff though.
