I ordered three bottles a few weeks back all were good, ordered five more tonight add the flavor shots too I love flavor. I am picky on juice have tried tons and many fell short. I can't use metal drip tips because it changes the flavors too much. Also what topper are you using? I use IBTanked, hyper tanks, aero tanks and aspire tanks my fav is the IBTanked personally I love carto tanks good luck. I Also use a Kay fun clone that I love!

Right now I'm dripping out of an Omega (with a single coil) & an Igo-T (dual coils). They both have metal tips. I'm going to try a different one this weekend, because sometimes I get a metallic taste in my mouth. I don't know why I bought them. I don't really like eating off of metal, I'd rather have plastic.


I plan on getting an MVP this weekend for when I'm on the run. Still have no idea what tank to get. I hear a lot about the Nautilus ?

if you have been looking for a good watermelon flavor you should have a look at Nicoticket's Queen Of Hearts - Awesome!!!

I would LOVE to find a watermelon !! Probably my favorite flavor. I've tried like 4 kinds and one wasn't too bad (not too grate either, LoL) but it was from China.

I'll definitely check it out....thanks !

I had the same problem a few weeks ago.
I tried tons of juices and i still have bottles laying around that i consider unvapeable.

what did it for me was Mister Eliquid.
All the flavors that I tried....
the ones listed in pairs are easy to switch flavors with similar tastes so they blend well together.
neptune, pure michigan
blue voodoo, dime piece,
sweet smarts, Myster e,
pink lady, pink dragon,
peach cobbler, eye q,
bubble ice
four of a kind,

So far I'm not liking the razzberry i think it's called. So out of all that i purchased, there is one that I'm not too sure about.
Now some are good to go out the mailbox... others got good after two weeks. And even better after a month of steep time.
i order mels blend 33%vg and 50/50 all in 12 or 6 mg. 18mg was way too peppery feeling on my throat.

Unflavored, is that enjoyable or just to get the nicotine ?

Most of the volume of an eliquid is VG and PG; if you get unflavored- which would be vg and pg with maybe some nicotine if you ask for nicotine, then you can establish a taste baseline.

Sometimes you think you like or dislike something in a particular flavor, but what if the part of the taste you are thinking about is really just a part of the base vg or pg, or maybe even something else? Some places add other stuff; for example I hear sometimes sucralose is added for sweetness.

I don't hear much about PEG400 anymore, but that is/was one of the components used in eliquids.

If you find there's something unpalatable in some shop's base unflavored eliquid, then you're probably not going to like any or most of their flavors anyway if they have the same base.

Experimenting with different PG/VG ratios of base liquid can also help you decide upon the ratio that you prefer regardless of flavor added.
Having some unflavored on hand is also usefull for priming.

I have a whole drawer full of juice that I probably will never vape. I can't say it's bad, I just didn't like it. Some are even on the best juice list. It's difficult finding the ones you like. Even though it's more expensive, I try to start with samplers so I can try several flavors from one vendor. After almost a year, I found a vendor that seems to have the same flavor profile as me. I've tried about 5 of his flavors and like every one of them. I'm so happy that I can now buy from one place instead of several vendors.

When I ordered my Ego I got a 100% VG and liked it, but the flavor wasn't really there. The B&M that I go to ONLY offers 60pg-40vg blend. The juices I just ordered are 40pg-60vg. I'll have to try that, it makes sense.

What's a flavor shot ? When I ordered my juices they had a flavor shot option. I got 1 flavor shot. Is it an extra shot of flavor ?

A flavor shot is just slang/lingo meaning a dose of flavor; some places offer double and triple doses/shots upon request; the exact flavor dosing is something that would be on the packaging on the original flavoring = how much milliliters of flavoring to add to how much milliliters of base liquid.

btw, when sales people say "100% VG" it is just slang for saying there is no PG; usually it would really be something like 90%VG, the other main ingredient being water.

When you pick a juice aren't you chosing a flavor (that's why I thought it meant extra ? This site had a choice for a single, double, and I think a tripple.

Is making juice as easy as adding some flavor from a bottle to a base ( pg or vg), or is it adding a bunch of things to try and make something taste like something ?

Yes making eliquid is just adding flavoring to your base; maybe about 5% or 10% by volume is the flavoring- perhaps less depending on the flavoring.

10ml Concentrated Tobacco flavour
10ml Concentrated TBC flavour
$3.49
1149 Units in Stock:

Tobacco flavour is an essential part of ejuice. It can improve the smoking characteristics of tobacco in eliquid. The strong tobacco flavour has the same taste as tobacco flavour but much stronger. Just 1-1.2ml tobacco flavour into a 10ml unflavored ejuice can produce great taste like Marl, Camel,555, flue cured tobacco and camel. It does not contain nicotine. Health Cabin carries Concentrated Fruit Flavour , Concentrated Mint Flavour, Concentrated Nut and Plant Flavour,Concentrated Beverage Flavour, Concentrated DrPepper Flavour and Concentrated Savoury Flavour for your choices if you want more different flavour.

i believe i got fairly lucky with the vendor i started with and have sampled nearly all their line. i thought i had a couple losers but when they aged turned out pretty good. my dilemma was my nic level. this vendor offers 24, 18, 9,and 0mg. they suggested 18mg to start and by the second day i got nicked out. that was my first full day of vaping only. i ordered online some 9mg that day. caught the black friday discount still going on sunday night and ordered more flavors,5pack of clearomizers and coils. five days for vape mail and my 9mg arrives. immediately i vaped more. i felt i needed 12mg to be satisfied at the rate i was going. as i got into building coils, using cotton and getting better vtf i bought more flavors, t3s, protanks, kayfuns,atomizers,and rda for sub ohm testing. i now have a rack of 35 flavors. each has its own t3s labeled. if i got tired of one, i'd try something else. just screw it on. its a nice display and frankly i am bored with it. i mixed them together to adjust nic level until i found my ideal build. happens to be with 30ga. and i can vape 9mg happily now. in my whole experience, i was nicked the second day and 4 1/2 mos later using 9mg subohm. lightbulb went off. my original builds were with 32ga and while improved i was still adjusting nic up a touch. now i know where i'm happy but i want more flavors. i tried other vendors and didn't find anything that was any better than what i have. hence DIY! i've got six tanks to feed and the t3s are sitting in the closet. i still use them on the go with an ego. made some rootbeer and cherry coke 10mg yesterday and without aging are pretty good. i used a dripping atomizer to sample flavor strength and settled on 15% flavor. i have them competing in kayfuns tonight. decided to get serious about diy and ordered everything i need to make larger batches accurately. i already have quarts of pg/vg and 200ml of base. also want to be safe and bought a titration kit. good luck on that flavor thing!

It seems may people are having the opposite problem I have is that me and my wife love the flavor of our local shop but can't find a decent one online to match up the flavoring. The local place is called breezesmokes. There nuport flavor is good, just haven't found a good comparison to it online. 7 bucks for 10ml is steep in price comparison plus they only do 70%pg-30%vg which is ok just not ideal for us.

This is why I went for unflavored eliquid. If I go to the store and get grape Gatorade, it tastes like grape. If I can't taste what the eliquid label says it is- ain't buying.
This seems to be my next logical step order unflavored with the nic in higher volume and order flavors as I desire So i can mix up what I like without breaking the bank. Semi DIY because of buying base with the nic.
