Hi guys,

So I've been vaping for a few months now. And have pretty much been stuck with the local shops and their juices..And find myself being somewhat dissatisfied with them..I live in the twin cities, And shops/juice are few and far between. And the two brands immediately available to me are "Vermillion river" and the local E-cig shop in Anoka. Which I believe make their own juice..But speaking of that shop, I recently entered their drawing to win a "VMX" 6v mod...I believe they designed and make the device themselves..I'll post a photo of it here...I've tested it out, but never had a full day with it..The best way I can explain the build and feel, is that it's similar to the GLV-2, But without the wiring issues..But if anyone on here has bought or used one, let me know what you think of it. Otherwise I will post my own opinion/review when and if I ever acquire one..

Anyway, Back to my question..So I've been stuck with limited options when it comes. to sum up my experience thus far. I started off with a BUD-TM starter kit, And quickly found out I needed something stronger. So I bought a silver bullet and run it at 6volts. I like a warm vape..I typically use 2.5-3.0ohm cartomizers..And the only true satisfaction I've encountered is with the anoka shops "Arctic fire" flavor..A cinnamon based flavor with a cooling menthol feeling. And it doesn't seem to effect/crack my tanks. And has been the only flavor I've found myself buying more then once..When I ordered my silver bullet, I tried a couple of their flavors at "Altsmoke" and found them to be virtually tasteless. And have been afraid to buy juice online because I hate not having a chance to test them first..And I don't like the idea of buying sample packs just to get a single day's or so worth of vaping from the small bottles..So my real question is. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions on a brand of juice that has good flavor, Nice throat hits, And good vapor production?..I generally like cinnamon/menthol or fruit flavors. Strawberry, watermelon, orange..I kind of enjoyed the energy drink flavors too...Not a big fan of tobacco flavors. And I don't want something that's gonna crack my tank..I have yet to buy a more durable tank..

Oh, And here's a photo of the VMX I hope to win! Looks like a pregnant GLV-2 huh!?

I agree wholeheartedly with Digitalsun about Rawr Vapor: Home page. I've tried dozens of vendors in my 2 years of vaping, and Rawr is the only one I've stuck with. His fruit flavors are off the charts, and the way they blend their menthol with the flavors is awesome. Not the cheapest vendor around, but I'm a firm believer in getting what you pay for. If you'd like any recommendations about juices from Rawr feel free to PM me. I've pretty much tried all his juices. :) Good luck!

Hey, Thanks guys. Am checking out all the sites mentioned right now...The fire and ice flavor sounds like it's right up my alley..Except I'm worried about it cracking my tank!..Like I said, I haven't bought a tougher tank yet. I checked out the texas tough tanks, But I honestly don't care for the side fill valve. I just have the feeling it's going to get caught on something every time I take my mod in or out of my pocket..And I don't like having to use needles!..If there's another inexpensive tank option please let me know!..

I don't have any juice suggestions but for a reasonably priced , durable tank I'd like to recommend the Vivi Nova with the metal tank added as an accessory to the clear tank.
perfect for citrus and cinnamon juices known to wreak havoc on polycarbonate tanks. Only drawback is not being able to see your juice remaining. Plus the heads are replaceable and/or re-wickable should you choose.

I totally forgot I have a vivi nova tank!..I forgot about it because I "NEVER" use it!..Like I said in the OP I vape @ 6v and every time I've tried to use the vivi tank it "ALWAYS" gave me a burnt taste @ 6v..I used an 18650 battery and it took the burnt taste away, And the hit was smooth. But I got no warmth and no throat hit with it..So I just put it away and forgot about it!

I agree with the Rawr suggestion. I enjoy the Green Peach Tea with menthol. I have used it every day for a month. I went through at least 50 flavors before deciding on a few that I like. Try the Best Sellers Sampler Pack. He also sells Angel Tears which is menthol drops that you can add to taste. I like 2 drops per 5 ml. for the "Is it There?" (First) level but you may enjoy more.

I see the picture. I don't know much about it, just letting you know I see it. I am newish to vaping and share your pain. I don't want to keep ordering, waiting, then maybe be disappointed. I want to go to a vape meet so I can try a bunch of new flavors. I use the Flux Nectar Juices. I love the Mtn Dew Red Alert, sort of a citrus cherry flavor. I let is sit with the cap off to release some of the alcohol. My daily vape is Flux Nectar Butterscotch. I know what you thinking. When I was recommended it I thought, I don't even like butterscotch all that much, and it seems like it would be too sweet. Well, it is sweet, but somehow not overwhelming. For a first time order, I ordered high voltage line from Nhaler because everyone loves them. I like their flavors for sure. If you want, try to order from websites that allow you to select extra flavor, double, or triple. I also like the green apple and red apple flavors from a lot of places. Apple seems to be a flavor that is easier for the companies to match. I know that DIY juice, making your own, seems advanced, but I actually find it great for a beginner. It allows you to mix and match. Just use a calculator and be real careful with pure nicotine. Good luck, I'm always here to talk juice.

it really boils down to personal preference and taste. you may like a specific flavor from a particular vendor , but the next 10 that try it may not. i have personal faves i share with others, and they don't taste a thing. it is absolutely trial and error. best thing is to sample from different vendors until you find your faves. for me, finding the right taste/vendor is more expensive than finding the right gear. and gear is the same.......some will like, some will not. mention to vendors when ordering....explain what you're looking for, and more often than not, they will throw in smalll sample sizes for you to try.

I'd first like to thank all of you guys for your thoughts, Input and suggestions!..I've got a lot of options here to work with. And I couldn't be happier!...I'd also like to mention, That since last nights mention of the vivi nova tank, I took it out and popped it on my ego battery that I had not used in a few weeks. I haven't had a charger for it until a couple days ago..And the vivi works nice with my ego battery...Not a very strong throat hit. but smooth. And I mixed a couple of strong flavors to get some extra flavor...I think I shall continue to use it as my out and about mod...
