The journey to find...... THE ONE

[thatrandy]

I've been all over with my journey to find the e-liquid that I would buy 500ml at a time... the one e-liquid to rule them all.....
I've noticed a few things I don't like... All the sweetttt flavours I've tried have not ever really left me satisfied... and also, in alot of the sweet flavors, i've noticed a similar taste, and I'm thinking its the sweeter thats used. and it honestly makes me sick

Below is the list of all the stuff I tried, and my thoughts (also I understand steeping and what not)

First off I tried some XO e-liquids from Liberity-Flights. Honestly, looking back, these were my favorite ones. [all PG Mixes]
Banana Split - Pretty good (though the 0mg bottle tasted better for some reason)
RRYY44 - Meh, was not use to tobacco flavors at the time I got this, but looking back, it was good
Mentol Mist - Same as above....
Strawberry Milkshake - Horrible, ive pinpointed its the Creme flavor I hate. It taste like sour milk...
Cappuccino - just too strong, made me sick to my stomach

Next up, MtBakerVapor (all 50/50 mixes)
[FONT=Lato, sans-serif]Cotton Candy - vaping cotton candy just taste nasty.... kind of bleh and burnt like[/FONT]
Zebra Stripe Gum - did not taste like the gum, or anything, it literally just tasted like colors (idfk, nvr done drugs either lol)
Extreme Ice - I actually liked this one, but it was too harsh for me at the time....
Ecto Cooler - this was ok, kind of had a dry taste though, got bored.
Bloodbath - had a crappy taste, like it was too dense... not sure how to describe it.
[FONT=Lato, sans-serif]Arnold Palmer - tasted like the powder for ice tea mix....[/FONT]
Banana Split - had a sickingly sweet taste
Cookie Blaster - same as above, literally tasted the EXACT SAME
Thug Juice - a bit too mellon for me/
Menthol - N/A - its only good for mixing
Cinnamon Roll - taste like im vaping a candle....

Next up, totally wicked
Banana [red label] - I thought it might have been the one, but the taste was too artifical for me... really harsh too
RY4 [tital fluid] - WAY too spicey also 12mg is the lowest nic, which was way too much for me
Tuti-frutti [Red label] - was ok, only tasted good when I blew it into a bottle and then hit it.... besides that tasted like perfume or popouri
pineapple - tasted like tabacco for some reason (contacted them)

I also tried space jam pluto- nope nope. Same sweetner taste, made me sick honestly
and halo shamrock , made me feel sick for a whole day (though it may have been a bad batch, contacted support)

then 5 flavours from ECBlendFlavours, which im not even going to list. They were the worst thing i've ever smelled or tasted in my entire life. They all had that sickingly fake sweetner taste/smell to them that I experance with MtBakerVapor's Banana split and cookie blaster, threw out.....


please help me people!~

Y'know, I've heard some people get along very nicely with simple unflavored nicotine liquid. Cheaply, too.

Well then I'll plug my current go-to vendor: ITC Vapes

I re-read your travails for some clues on your profile. Maybe look at the Wintermint. There's a well-reviewed banana or two in their menu, also. I'm in my third round of small-bottle trials, and have several flavors marked for re-buy. Hope you find something good!

I don't even want to add up the costs of my journey for the ONE.
I've been happy to find the ONE FOR THIS MONTH and that has never went past two months as my main juice.
Even then the one seems to always be only available in $22 for 30ml and no bulk options.
Heck I can't even stay with one company let alone one juice.

I do have very few that I have kept on hand at all times for several months at a time,but I can't vape them exclusively either.
Imo it's all about focus, pick a profile you know you always lean towards and focus on similar juices to that.
My new trial juices no matter the price or maker all are similier in profiles and descriptions, but each tastes 100% different to me.
This way I'm not going out on a ledge trying something I know I won't care for since I'm not a very adventurous person.

To give you an idea of my addictions extent I just washed and cleaned 17 empty 30ml glass bottles as that's the only ones I save.
I have 20 30ml glass bottle full of juice that I'm vaping or steeping.
I rotate and vape 4 juices each day all about equally.

See I'm messed up!

My gosh dude.... R.I.P -,- lol
And picking a profile sounds like a good idea

It works for me anyhow.
Pick you most favorite juice or two and try very similier ones from other companies.
I can add that after all the juices I've bought and tried not a single one was bad enough I couldn't finish it, once I started buying this way anyhow.
Before I was all over the board trying new juices that I couldn't get past the first tank of.

Some other unsolicited advice is to try and buy well known and highly rated juices first, do your homework on them too.
I only try lower cost juices when I've found a great one that's higher priced and search for a lower cost alternative.
I say this as I find the highly suggested juices with higher prices to have a higher probability I'll like it more.

The largest juice makers got big for a reason. Try them...

I believe Halo is the largest juice maker, followed by Johnson Creek....

I've actually never heard of Johnson Creek.... maybe in passing, but thats it

To be honest, I think it would be rash and unwise to buy even 100ml, nevermind 500ml. I've still got an unopened 60ml bottle of my first ADV, a really nice Virginia that I really don't care for at all anymore, except sometimes right after eating, or if I get a craving for a smoke -- otherwise it no longer tastes good to me; I take like 3-4 hits of it, and I'm ready to set it down and get back to my sweet bakery flavors.

The people who say, your tastebuds are healing and your tastes will be all over the place, during the first year smoke-free, are absolutely right. Stuff that sickened me or I couldn't taste at all when I first tried it, many of them I now enjoy a lot -- sweet tobaccos, coffee flavors, sweet baked treats, all kinds of stuff that on first taste, 6 or more months ago, I couldn't abide. The Virginia that got me to stop smoking, that I vaped *exclusively* for about the first 2 1/2 months, now is *only* for those times when I would have smoked, and not always, even then.

What are your three favorite juice?
Also Giant vapes is a great place to quickly get higher priced juices with good reviews and descriptions.
I'd avoid juices that aren't presteeped as who wants to wait two too four weeks to try a new juice.
Imo it's better to buy freshly mixed juices from smaller companies when you find a profile and a few juices that just speak to you.
That way you will know the time invested in steeping wasn't a big waste.

hmmm, I like your idea on that!!!! Sounds like a better strategy then what i'm currently doing, lol!

Good luck in your quest, I am searching for All day vapes all the time. i try new companys, different pg/vg ratio'ed blends, different flavors. And honestly I get lucky if 25% of the time I buy juice I get something I can finish the bottle at. The other 75%(not my fav's) of the time I try to finish the juice because I ain't rich and can't keep buying alllll the time..

I would honestly say if I was rich, vaping would be alot easier for me sometimes then it is when being on a budget lol. Thats just my opinion. See, I'll save up $20, $30 for juice, go try to find something different and boom, fail. I have did this so many times and failed and wasted, it honestly makes me sick because of all the money I am loosing..but then again..Nobody is perfect in finding that one perfect thing every time... and if anything it makes the journey worth while once you do finally find an all day vape your like

just my thoughts. cheers.

One of the few flavors I always come back to is King's crown "the king". It's a peanutbutter cookie sort of. I've been through three bottles so far in the past month or so. I have a few others I rotate in as well. Dr juice, "Crunchberry", I've been through a couple bottles of that too. Really decent cereal flavor.

I'm still working on the first bottle of the rest of the flavors I liked when tasting, but not found to be my ADV. I've tried the whole kings crown and suicide bunny line and I have a bottle of almost every flavor they make. I tend to go back for a dripper full every once in a while, but I end up going back to the old favorites.

Mainly I drip at home. When I'm out, I use an ego with higher nic. I use 4-6% in my drippers, but 18% in my ego. Completely different flavor profiles in the ego too. I run AV "bobas bounty" or halo "Malibu" in that situation. I've never really been a fan of my dripper stuff in my ego. Just not enough nic, I guess.

I have come to embrace the fact that even though I really like the king at the moment, something else may move into that spot eventually. So I keep 1-2 unopened on hand, but no more.
