I am a newbie and am beginning to realize it is a bit of a Holy Grail hunt for the best juices out there on the internet. Happy to say I have tried a few mentioned here.

So far:

Highbrow - Menthol tobacco - yuk Cappucino Diablo - not good but maybe I'll give it another shot now that it has steeped a while? Dark Chocolate Mint - VERY Good

CigEasy - Coffee - awful

Backwoods Brew Espresso - yuk
Backwoods Brew Menthol Blast -not impressed

Wicked Vapor Cappuccino - OK

Mountain Oak Vapors : Coffee - meh, Cloverfield - pretty good
Sweet Water - excellent

Have ordered some samples from Heather's Heavenly Vapes - hope I like them :)

All the flavors you've listed are in a similar category and most of them you didn't like.. try some tobacco and/or fruit flavors.. you may like those types better.

It always blows my mind when people chase a particular flavor and are never satisfied. "All vanilla juices are nasty, yuck!" Well, stop vaping freakin' vanilla already. ;)

That seems to be true for everyone I've talked to.. taste in food and taste in juice are usually different, sometimes minorly and sometimes significantly so.
For instance, a lot of people that don't like anise or black licorice love Pluid. (I've been told it's actually absynthe flavored, but it's close enough to those other two flavors that you would logically conclude that people not favoring that type of flavor wouldn't like it.. but that's not the case generally. Of course there are people that don't like Pluid, but it doesn't seem to be tied to there taste in food/beverages.
Fisty is correct!

....These profiles may seem appealing to your eating mind, but may not be right for your vaping palate....I would suggest trying a new profile of flavors that you may not be accustomed to, or think you may desire.
I wrote that in a thread yesterday...

Nu-vapers sometimes have to get past what they think they want, and start branching out more...I am trying to convince my cousin of this very notion. He just can't seem to find the right sweet vape, because they are all so sweet!? Huh?
:blink:

This is very true....I love to eat cinnamon and caramel but cannot stand to vape either one...even in most "mixed" flavors like french toast or caramel apple...

OK...I guess I have to add my Fav vendors (I've ordered multiple times from each):

In no particular order:

Highbrow
Backwoods Brew
ECBlends
Deejstuff
Virgin Vapor

Before I made my list today I vaped a few of my "must haves" from BWB. I was trying to ascertain whether or not they were as good as I thought...well, they truly are. BWB, IMO, deserves to be on this many lists!!!!

p.s. Gorgeous avatar!

With Pluid, if you mention it's absinthe flavored, that base will likely be Anise. I believe a similar component is in Swedish Snus, and I hate licorice, but love the flavor of snus.

As for my top 5.... so far, in no specific order:

Heather's Heavenly Vapes- Uh...well, everything! My experience is that EVERYTHING here tastes exactly AS DESCRIBED. Chocolate vaper who likes tobacco- Oompa. Like a good pipe tobacco?- Gandalf. Georgia Peach Tobacco? Yep. Maybe a peanut butter cookie? Yep. This vendor must have my sense of taste and smell or something, because these blends are super-addictive and remarkably well-balanced.

Want2Vape (Rock Star, Smokey Clove, Campfire Coffee, the Vapenstein lineup, ACID Blondie, ALCAZAR, Red Pirate, Cold Infusion, Morely, 555.5- all excellent juices with remarkably unique twists on standard juices - taste is also AS DESCRIBED)

Vapelicious- Solid Flue-cured tobacco, Oakwood (a nice complex blend, with oaky undertones and...you'll like this one, but if you're not partial to tobacco try the Flue-cured, it may surprise you with it's flavor and vapeability), a great Pear, Burley blends that have bite, and flavors you won't find anywhere else. Try the Cool Vanilla Mint, it's really quite tasty. Inquire about custom mixes.

Aroma E-juice (Who doesn't like a solid DK-TAB with WTA? The Tobacco Road inspires memories of a solid 555 with subtle latakia and a dry finish, Prickly pear is excellent, especially mixed with tobacco, and their Nuport and Pomegranate juices are quite tasty. And the Menthol P-38? Even a non menthol vaper will find this dances from start to finish with flavor.)

Backwoods Brew (If for just one juice, Casablanca! It's very addictive.)

More juice is on the way... from Nitelitevapor and The Plume Room. Could these be more favorites?

Stay tuned for the next installment.

What are the flavors you gravitate towards? Are they the same with each vendor, or do you have particular types per vendor? I am all tobacco-esque, so I am a bit boring...well not really. Smile

Did you make that avatar? You an artist or something? If so, why would you want to be an artist? ;) LOL

Weird, right? Me, too!

Heather's Heavenly Vapes- Uh...well, everything! My experience is that EVERYTHING here tastes exactly AS DESCRIBED. Chocolate vaper who likes tobacco- Oompa. Like a good pipe tobacco?- Gandalf. Georgia Peach Tobacco? Yep. Maybe a peanut butter cookie? Yep. This vendor must have my sense of taste and smell or something, because these blends are super-addictive and remarkably well-balanced.
Want my Oompa? That was the only one I didn't care for...I don't like milk chocolate flavors. The rest are BANGIN'!!!

Want2Vape (Rock Star, Smokey Clove, Campfire Coffee, the Vapenstein lineup, ACID Blondie, ALCAZAR, Red Pirate, Cold Infusion, Morely, 555.5- all excellent juices with remarkably unique twists on standard juices - taste is also AS DESCRIBED)
Their Analog Mild is quite a mysterious juice. I am VERY surprised more people don't vape it.

Vapelicious- Solid Flue-cured tobacco, Oakwood (a nice complex blend, with oaky undertones and...you'll like this one, but if you're not partial to tobacco try the Flue-cured, it may surprise you with it's flavor and vapeability), a great Pear, Burley blends that have bite, and flavors you won't find anywhere else. Try the Cool Vanilla Mint, it's really quite tasty. Inquire about custom mixes.
How do you order from this site? Is it up again?

Aroma E-juice (Who doesn't like a solid DK-TAB with WTA? The Tobacco Road inspires memories of a solid 555 with subtle latakia and a dry finish, Prickly pear is excellent, especially mixed with tobacco, and their Nuport and Pomegranate juices are quite tasty. And the Menthol P-38? Even a non menthol vaper will find this dances from start to finish with flavor.)
P-38 is off the charts!!!!!!!!! I am vaping Tobacco Road right now, but then again, I always vape it!

Backwoods Brew (If for just one juice, Casablanca! It's very addictive.)
Casa is very unique, but I love my Bacco, 555 Exotic, and my close to 60mL of RY4

More juice is on the way... from Nitelitevapor and The Plume Room. Could these be more favorites?
Please let me know about TPR.

Stay tuned for the next installment.

Great post!

As for flavors, I've noticed (for me anyway) its VERY dependent upon the weather and time of day...

Mornings/Evenings/cold weather I like rich, full, sweet flavors: waffle, malty toffey, RY4, candy fruits and bakery flavors

Warm Summer Days I like true fruits Orange DS (highbrow), just about any of Deej's flavors.

And beach days: citrus fruits, mixed tropical fruits, with a very light minty menthol touch


Sounds like you're into the 'baccos?

Nope, can't say I made it....I unabashedly swiped it...I'm about the furthest thing from an artist you can get!!! I deal with law, government regulations and policy and all day long. Although I kinda love the artist idea...

I love eating waffles and cheese cake, and I love all sorts of nuts. But don't give me nutty or bready vape juice.. saying I hate it is too strong of a word, but I don't much like it. Even from my favorite juice maker I don't like it. I rarely eat candy (sugar and I don't get along) but I love candy/fruity vape juices.

Who are your top five e-liquid vendors. I would like to compile a list of the five most recurring names. It doesn't have to be in any particular order, because one vendor may rival another for completely different reasons. So, go ahead and arrange it however you want, but just list the vendors, not the juices.

Backwoods Brew
Ms T's Bakery
VaporGod
Rarw Vapor
American eLiquid Store

I am very impressed and excited that you said all this! I have been trying to find a way to express what I call "palate seasoning." I think are palate is more receptive to different flavors at different times day as well. I only vape certain flavors at night, some during the day, and only one first thing in the morning; I am am loving Heather's Heavenly Vapes (Purity Line of tobacco extract) during these warm days--they are so bright and refreshing, I have said they pair well with sandals. Most tobacco vapes go well in the winter, so I don't necessarily discriminate in the cold.

Sounds like you're into the 'baccos?
Affrimative!!!!!

The life of an artist sucks! All the wine, cheese and crakers, and hangin' out with other artists and musicsican gets old...or so I've heard! lol.

I know how weird this is, too! I love to vape tobacco flavors, but I don't want to eat tobacco! Stange, don't you think? HAHA
