Still having trouble finding my ADV...

[BAMvaping]

I need some more advice...

I am STILL on the hunt for a few options for ADV. I have spent a ton of time researching vape equipment and after getting a variety of clearos, a Kayfun clone, a Trident clone, an MVP v2 mod, getting a nice stock of kanthal and cotton I still find my selection of juices disappointing.

Currently my ADV is Halo's Kringle's Curse but I am starting to get slightly bored with it. I have a TON of juices here to use up but I'm not too mad on any of them:

-Namber
-Wingnuts
-House of Liquids
-Inwara
-Dekang/Hangsen
-LiQueen
-Liqua
-Totally Wicked
...
a decent stockpile, none except the Halo that I really find no fault with.

I know ejuice is a highly debated topic as tastes vary sooo much from person to person, but I can't help but request some advice.

I live in Ireland so am getting juice primarily from Irish/UK vendors, though I have ordered from USA and Euro. I do have a sample pack of Heather's Heavenly hopefully coming this week - really looking forward to that.

Primarily I like mentholated sweet mints. After finding Kringle's I wanted to branch out more into the fruitier flavors but found much of my selection to be either too weak or too sickly artificial tasting (even the organic HoL). I do have a triple menthol Irish juice that I use to DIY menthol some of the non-mentholated juices, but it's not really the same. I've also been steeping so I don't think that it's a matter of flavor that isn't properly saturated.

I'm probably just really picky...

No, I'm definately really picky! But I just thought I'd get some more suggestions. I do not bother with tobacco flavors but am pretty much open to any others (except those weird savory ones I've seen...I don't want to vape roast chicken!).

Companies I would like to try are:

-Highbrow
-Pink Spot
-Mt Bakers
-Mom & Pops
-also custom mixes you can get from some venors.

OK I've rambled enough. Thank you for reading - thank you for your suggestions.

Not sure if you want to make this an ADV because of pricce but Five Pawns Bowdens mate is a great chocolate mint flavor. I am not a menthol fan but I gave some thug juice by t baker vapor to a friend and she loves it. It is watermelon grape and menthol. The fruits arent too overpowering and it has a nice strong and clean menthol taste. Mt Baker is just about the cheapest you can buy too.

I will say this much...

I too LOVE Kringle's Curse. One of my favorite ejuices of all.

I tried Mt Baker Candy Cane.... and was terribly disappointed with it. In fact I've tried about 5 Mt Baker flavors so far and have yet to find one I would buy again. For the most part their flavoring is very weak and they tend to be too much on the sweet side. For example, their spearmint tasted like Wrigley's Spearmint Gum which is a lot sweeter and a lot less spearmint than the Lifesavers Spearmint flavor I was hoping for.

Mt Baker has excellent prices, but I do wonder if they don't intentionally weaken their flavoring in order to sell extra "flavor shots" which increases the price.

Interesting point about the flavor shots. Might be on to something there.

As for the spearmint, I actually prefer the sweet mint side of mint vapes. I have a bottle of Puffin's (UK) XXX Spearmint and it is basically pure spearmint. You'd probably love it but it's pure spearmint, no sweet, and I like it because it is what's on the label, but definitely not an ADV for me.

I don't mind SOME sweet. In fact I don't mind really sweet if that is what I am expecting.

However, Mt Baker sells a "Twin Mint Gum" and a "Spearmint". I was not expecting their Spearmint to taste so much like gum when they sell a separate mint gum flavor.

Yes but even with a few extra flavor shots you still can't beat less than 6 bucks for 15ml!

$1.20 for 15ml here. Oh the joys of simple tastes and DIY.

I've never needed more than 1 flavor shot from Mt. Baker Vapor but I've been vaping for over a year and my taste buds are in pretty good shape and I can taste really well now. I like their flavors and I've tried others such as Alice in Vapeland and it was just too bland for me even after a month of steeping/aging ( I did taste it every couple of days during this time). You can always try a sampler from MBV with 1 or more flavor shots to see if you like them. Candy cane was right on target in taste but I'm not a peppermint or menthol fan so I gave it to someone who was. Good luck in your search!

Ps. Yep, DIY is the way to go if you want to get the taste, strength, and right price for juice. That's what I'm in to but thought I'd try some vendors to get an idea of what's out there.

I can get 30ml for $12 from my local B&M and they don't need extra flavor shots. They don't charge $6+ for shipping either.

I like the fact that Mt Baker sells large quantities. It's where we buy the menthol that my wife vapes since that is ALL she ever vapes with. But for the normal 30ml or smaller they aren't significantly better priced than most B&M stores around me once you add in the extra flavor shots and shipping. In some cases they are actually more expensive.

I like the Koolada flavor additive, in addition to adding menthol, to get a proper kool fresh taste. Other than the Kringle, I have been pretty underwhelmed with the minty/menthol spectrum. I got so comfortable doctoring up ejuice to taste "good", that I finally migrated to pure DIY. I think that if you are particular or "fussy" about your ejuice flavors, you really have to DIY or get made-to-order from a vendor who hits the mark for you.

 

[thaiad24]

as you are in Dublin its harder to get the better e juices, just like it is in the UK

Spiritus vapes based in Manchester have just started selling suicide bunny juiced imported from the US

Ive tried Derailed so far and its very good

im ordering 6 bottles direct from the states for about £80 delivered, works out at £13-£14 per 30ml bottle

and for the quality i dont mind paying that

 

[BAMvaping]

Heather's Heavenly just arrived. So far I've dripped Crackberry + a few drops of menthol. (...vape...) Not an overwhelming fruit - too much and it can get sickly but this seems good. Light aftertaste and enough on exhale. (...vape...) Good vapor production. TH without menthol was definitely strong but is now tamed for my liking with the menthol. The cool menthol effect makes it almost like a berry chewing gum. It's really good out of the bottle and am looking forward to post-steep vape.

(1.6ohm micro @ 7.5w on a MVP v2 w/Trident rda)

Got more testers here: chocolate mint, angel's kiss, blueberry muffin, and vanilla.

I think an ADV is a myth. I'm still looking for an All Hour Vape. When I first started vaping, I could vape one flavor for a day, but I didn't know any better. Now it takes rotating 7-8 flavors thru the day to keep me going...but I like it!!

 

[danny00]

My ADV is grape. I bought it from my local smoke shop and then I ordered another through cuecig.com, 15ml 18 nic 60/40. I typically am not a grape flavor person but the lady at the local shop suggested I sample it and I love it!!

 

[Pandas]

I have no clue how people can even get an ADV, I get tired of the juice in a few pulls already...

 

[HoseGarden]

do you really need an ADV?

variety is the spice of life

 

[RichRod]

my suggestion: Space Jam - Pluto or Astro. check em out! if you give them a shot you wont be disappointed

 

[Tedlee]

I can't seem to find an ADV either. I have 3 favorites that I rotate throughout the day. It seems to make the flavors stand out more when switching them around. I'm only 2 months off analogs, so maybe that's why it works for me.

 

[JoeDerty]

one of my favorites is Boba's Bounty from AVE
