Thank You Everyone. Now need juice!

[Jazzmom]

I had questions and a lot of people chimed in to help. Thank you.

I ordered a KGO and love it. Battery life, looks, vape thanks.

Now I am just looking for juices that I like. I have small bottles everywhere and don't like much. Believe it or not the USA juice caramel apple from Hoosier is my fav so far.

Have ordered from Mountain Oak Vapor, Copper Creek, Freedom Smokes and just got in some from The Vapor Room (but have to let them steep)

Should I keep trying new vendors? Does everyone go through this to find a juice they like?

 

[kookycole]

From what I've experienced and read, yes everyone goes through this. Finding juices that you like is probably the hardest and most expensive thing in vaping (unless you like to try a bunch of expensive equipment). Keep trying new vendors until you find something that you like, and order sample sizes. I've never tried Hoosier's caramel apple, so I can't make recommendations based on that. But it's good that you've found something that you like from a place that you can also buy other equipment, like cartos. I was also surprised to find that I liked a couple of juices from Darkcityvapor, where I purchased my KGO.
You might also want to check out the PIF forum or the classifieds to get rid of the juice that you don't like.

When I first started, I think I ordered from about 6 or 7 different vendors in order to cover my bases. A couple of them stuck for me, but I would try something, based on recommendation, here and there. Now it's DIY for me, so I end up making what I like, how I like it, lol. A lot of people search high and low for that perfect juice for themselves. Also take into consideration that your taste buds will be getting back to where they should, slowly, and you may find something down the road will change with flavors.

You are on a juice quest and yes it is fairly common. Though my wife had some peach flavored from MVS and has never ordered anything else. There's tons of variety out there. Just go with the small bottles until you find a few you like.

 

[Jazzmom]

Thanks. Good to know it's not just me. LOL. It does tend to get expensive to keep ordering juice but at $10/pack for cig here and I smoke 1 1/2 or more a day, guess price works out okay.

Guess I will keep looking. I know juice is different for everyone, but any vendors I should be trying? Or just close my eyes and pick some more?

 

[Kay1959]

lol! I wouldn't suggest closing your eyes! It's hard to tell WHAT you'll end up picking and how much! lol!

Maybe try a few fruit flavors, a few bakery flavors, and a few drink flavors! Try to get an idea of what type of flavors you like best, and then maybe you can find your 'all day vape'. I'm like the one above. I think I placed about 2 orders of premade juice, and said to heck with this! I'll make my own! lol!

I like ecblend, there's a lot of customization and the prices are great. I still haven't checked out all the places that I want to, but I've been doing a lot of research comparing reviews/prices. I've been meaning to check out the vapor room, because they get good reviews and seem to have a lot of deals. Mt Baker Vapor also has really good prices, and people seem to like them. Finally Nite Lite Vapor seems to have great prices and a lot of fans, but I'm not really into tobacco flavors and that seems to be their specialty.

 

[kookycole]

Whoops, I see that you've ordered from the vapor room, let me know how it is

 

[Jazzmom]

Just got in The Vapor Room today, they told me to let it sit for 5 days or so. Have a few fruit flavors but a lot of them (from one vendor) had more of a perfumery taste. Thought I would like fruit instead of tobacco. House Blend from Copper Creek isn't too bad. Never thought to try drink flavors. Off to check out ecblends.

 

[kookycole]

I don't know if our tastes are the same, but I've tried a lot of flavors from ecblend, so if you want some recommendations just let me know.

 

[Angi2299]

I have tried about a quarter of the juices from Hoosier's. None were unvapable. My faves from Hoosier are Cotton Candy, Honeydew, Candy Watermelon, Tropical Punch, Orange Cream (who am I kidding, I like them all). Most could be an all day vape for me. EC Blend is also good, but I have to order extra flavor on all their juices. I tried at least a dozen vendors before I found one that I felt had good and CONSISTENT juice flavors and was affordable enough that I don't feel the need to start DIY mixing to save money.

Good luck in your quest...........

Ecblends is a pretty cool company. They have a large selection of juices to pick from. They also allow you to customize your liquids. Anything from extra to double extra flavor to even creating your own juice blend. And the best thing is that for quality made in the USA product their prices are surprisingly cheap. I also love the fact you can pick your pg vg ratio. This is so far my favorite place to order juice.

 

[Jazzmom]

Sorry stupid question. Looked on this forum, didn't see Ecblends. Just google them?

ECBlend E-Liquids - Something Better

 

[Jazzmom]

I don't know if our tastes are the same, but I've tried a lot of flavors from ecblend, so if you want some recommendations just let me know.

Have you tried any of the coffee blends or fruit flavors?

Thanks for the website. Looking now

 

[Jazzmom]

One more question and then I'll be quiet. Promise

I have been ordering 50/50. Is that a good ratio for flavor or does more PG give more flavor?

 

[islancka]

It's been about a year and a half (I've been just lurking so long I forgot my original login!) and I'm still fishing around new juice suppliers. Partly it's just that my tastes have changed the longer I'm not smoking analogs...also I've got a variety of equipment now and some juice works better in one type than the other. It's not like cigs where I pretty much just picked a brand and stuck with it for years and years...it's fun though, and compared to the nearly carton a week I was on as a smoker the cost of a few small bottles I didn't like isn't a huge deal.

I'd advise holding onto the ones you don't like for a while and revisiting them later. I let supplies run low yesterday and had to go to my backlog of non-faves. Surprise, now I am really enjoying the Ms. T's Caramel Apple that just seemed generically "sweet" when I bought it a few months ago.

 

[kookycole]

I think PG is supposed to give more flavor. I usually go with 70pg/30vg because higher ratios clog up my cartomizers. I don't usually like the coffee flavors, so I haven't tried them. The dragon's blood is a good fruit flavor (extra flavor) and I liked the white peach ala zoe (extra flavor, vanilla shot). If you enjoy cinnamon, I really like the flaming peach.

 

[mccrji]

I have ordered the following from ECBlends: 7 Leaf Tobacco..ack, Bahama Mama...too fruity for me, but I love the drink, Raspberry...again, too fruity, Cinnamon Apple..ack, Chocolate Dipped Strawberries...not too bad, Caramel Apple...my favorite! They sent Dragons Blood as a free sample...it's ok, but not something I would order again. I've tried NorthWest Vapors tobacco (used to be called Cowboy) like this one and I've tried their Virginia Blend...ack. I've ordered Hangsen RY4 and waiting for it to come in to see if I like it. So far, my favorites are Caramel Apple from ECBlends and NorthWest Vapors Tobacco that used to be called Cowboy. It's hard finding the "right" ones. The fruity one's seem to give me a headache.

More PG gives you more flavor. I normally order 80/20. The 50/50 has less flavor and thicker consistency.

We're starting out at nearly the same point. I just got my kgo (riva) today and it's on the charger. It didn't include any instructions, so I'm hoping the light turns green when it's charged. Right now it's red and blinking. I'm getting ready to search out some vids on how to fill the cartos etc. So if all goes well I'll be vaping sometime later tonite.

I obviously don't know anything about juice, but phil busardo (among others) does great juice review videos. TasteYourJuice.com Obviously taste is subjective, but he tells you what he gets and doesn't get from the juice. Kind of helps you decide if it's one you'd like to try. I've bought mine in 70pg/30vg since many seem to feel that's the best combo for not clogging and getting good taste and good vapor. Good luck to both of us!!
