But I don't think my opinion is any more or less valid than anyone else's...

...juice rating should looked at in a democratic type of way. My vote is just that.. one vote. Doesn't count any more or less than anyone else's.

Well, yes and no. I agree that's how someone who doesn't know your preferences should look at it, just as a yes vote that doesn't mean much other than you like it. On the other hand, for those who watch your posts and notice they share a similar view of many juices, your vote can be one that really matters.

For me, after discovering a few people who shared my tastes, my results on liking juices I bought improved dramatically. Very helpful for people new-ish to vaping to find some people with similar tastes and buy what they like.

Even now, I have several people here at ECF that I will buy a juice without researching just because they say they love it or they recommending it specifically to me. Sharon, your votes mean much more to me personally than any random vote.

any recommendations?

I have as yet not tried them. But many recommend their Peach Tobacco as being excellent.

They also just began a more deluxe line of flavors, not included in the 50ml sale.

Juice Mafia seems to always have a sale, which is good, and they are expanding their menu quickly for having started just this year. Their website is very professional, and they get pimped a lot on Mod Envy.

I've been waiting for available funds, and a good sale. But I am eager to try them.

Tiktik, I don't consider myself to be any sort of authority on tobacco vapes. Mr. Mann, Jerms, SharonMM, and others on the ECF forum (natural tobacco thread and Ahlusion thread, specifically) are much more knowledgeable.

Hey you! Don't group Sharon with those other two. She has MUCH better taste. :)

Well that's true.. I tend to listen MORE to the folks I know have tastes similar to mine..

However if a certain juice was getting tons of great feedback and my bff told me, "dont get it, its crap".. I'd probably still get it. And more than likely, I'd hate it too. I'm one of those hard learners, I guess.

Anyways, but what prompted my post, was that bbywhos first post sortof implied (to me) that there's a type of hierarchy here... which really shouldn't be. No one should feel that their opinion doesn't count, or that their perceptions would be ill received.. or feel sheepish about giving their impressions when they're asked for them straight out.

So I just wanted to make a little speech.. I just hope that myself and my fellow windbags are not creating an environment that people can't feel comfortable to say they what they feel, agree or disagree. Or worse.. "say" they like something when they really don't like it at all. Or worse yet.. say nothing.

Because, I love reading everyone's feedback and love to see random people chime in. Makes the place a lot more interesting. That's half the reason I started this thread.. so I could take a break from all you blow-hards on the ahlusionati thread. (its NOT a cult. its NOT a cult.) Kidding.. you know I love ya.

But nonetheless, I'm flattered Jerms, that you think my opinions on a juice are in any way relevant. So thanks for that. :)

Lolz.. now now, Voltron. Back to my point earlier.. you and I share similar tastes.. doesn't make it "better" taste than anyone else's taste. But I'm glad could help you discover a few juices you love to vape.

Nah, I don't buy it. You and I have the best taste in the history of ECF. ;)

Sharon, not my intent to in any way imply some sort of hierarchy and def didn't mean for it to come through that way. I've only been vaping since the end of August and have very limited experience with tobacco vapes from any vendor. Based on comments from some posters I mentioned, including you, who have what I perceive to be similar taste profiles to mine (shared opinions on a number of non-tobacco juices) and/or in-depth (IMO) descriptions/feedback that I find enticing, I've ordered additional juices from my favorite vendor (Ahl). So far, I've been very pleased with those items. I am brand new to Smooth Criminal and the other tobacco juices from Ahlusion and other vendors. My only experience with SC is from a small dripping session on Tuesday night with my first bottle that only arrived on Monday. I still consider myself a newbie to vaping and this site, just trying to glean information to guide me through my vaping experience.

Oh yeah, forgot to add one of the sales I took advantage of. VaporDNA offered a free Sony 30A IMR battery with ANY order, plus they always offer a free bottle of juice with orders, so I ordered a few feet of Kanthal wire lol. Great deal and a cool offer. I even didn't realize about the free juice that your suppose to request when ordering, so I emailed them with a request and they said they would add it to my package, which I thought was cool of them.

This is a very accurate account of fresh Smooth Criminal. I'm one of those that likes it this way, so I don't mind starting Smooth Criminal right when I receive it. I do like it better after several weeks of steeping when it becomes a totally different experience, much more of a straight tobacco with a mild sweetness. Many fans of Smooth Crim can't stand it fresh though, and only vape it well aged. I enjoy it along it's journey.

I hate waiting 2 months to try new juice lol.. Haha that's why I don't like tobacco vape as much but in very in love with it at the moment. I guess I set myself up :(
