Hi All,

#1. Aroma ejuice!
The fact they offer WTA eliquids makes this my new found favorite! IMO, this is as close to a true nicotine vape as you can get. Whole tobacco alkaloid ejuices satisfy every aspect of that analog craving that sometimes creeps up on me. They're expensive, but they're the only vendor offering WTA eliquid as far as I know. Aroma Ejuice Manufacturer of WTA Whole Tobacco Alkaloid Eliquid :thumb:

#2. Ahlusion
I can't help make comment here. They keep a customer profile on you so they can always make juice x taste just the way you like it, and let you tweak their e-liquid (i.e. flavor nuance and VG/PG ratio). They will do their best to satisfy you and customer service is excellent. The only con is the prep time. They take 3-5 business days to mix your 'juice' which is digitally measured so consistency between one bottle of x and your next bottle of x is the same, so this makes up for the time they take.

#3. Halo

#4. HighBrow

All 4 proudly made in the USA!:thumb:

Number 1 on my list is my top favorite. The remaining 3 are in no particular order.

Ok it's been several months so I'll update my top 5. Two are the same, three dropped off so I'll talk about the ones that are now off my list first.

Halo: I feel bad dropping them, I've been a fan for the longest of any vendor, but I just haven't had a reason to order from them in a while. I'm changing up what I vape for on-the-go which has been mints and menthols, and that was a big reason to order from them. They're still on my radar for when they release new flavors, and Tribeca is still in my top 3 fav RY4s.

ThePlumeRoom: I love one of their tobaccos, and really like a few others, but they've been overtaken by vendors that have more I love. Still will try about any new tobacco they release and look forward to eventually trying their non-tobaccos.

AliceinVapeland: Very well made juices, but out of their menu only a couple I may reorder. Another strike against them, unless a vendor has a tobacco line with something original to offer I'm just not that interested anymore.

And for the 2 still on, GoodeJuice and Ahlusion. They both have tobaccos I love and will be reordering from both for a long time. Ahlusion also has the best non-tobacco offerings I've had.

And so for the new ones..

MountainOakVapors: This vendor entered my top 5 with a bullet when I ordered some of their NETs. Pendragon has floored me, and everytime I vape it it feels like it was made specifically for me. The way the cherry and vanilla notes compliment the tobacco is perfection to my taste. Sunday Morning and Southern Gentleman are also huge winners and will be reordered. I've tried several of their beta NETs and look forward to future tobacco offerings, along with trying their arti-baccos and other flavors.

Want2Vape: Put them off for a long time because of how notoriously hard their NETs are on coils, but getting into dripping RBAs has made that a non-issue. PURE "Smoke" is a juice I'm crazy about, and fills a niche I didn't think could be filled for me. I'll be keeping some around for a long time to come. Out of their Premium tobaccos, CI Cigar and The "Blond" are so dang original and different from any other juice, and are amazing when in the right mood. If I ever made a list of top 10 NETs, those three would be on it.

Heather'sHeavenlyVapes: Although the NETs I've had from them haven't floored me as much as the rest, they are really good, and there's a lot to choose from. So far, they all have the quality of being very vapable with an unmatched smoothness. They are such great anytime vapes, and seem to always work when I'm not sure what I want to vape. They also seem to mysteriously get used up quicker than I realize.

Jerms, you are NUTS!

Wait a minute...there is a glitch in the MATRIX. If you quote Jerms' post, it shows up on your screen, but not when you post. LOL. We'll see how long that lasts.

Seriously? Nobody's gonna say? That's just mean. Whatever it is, it had 18 votes as of the last tally. Ah well ... if it's destined to remain a mystery, so be it.

I posted a list of three vendors back in October, but at this point, I doubt I'll return to any of them. Two of them - AV and NLV - I'm definitely done with as the effort required to obtain them should be reserved for things like organ transplants or water in the desert. The third, Rawr, fell victim to the 60 ml curse, i.e., I craved it and couldn't keep myself adequately stocked until I bought a bigger bottle, at which point I didn't like it anymore. I can't tell you how many times that has happened, which is a good indication that the problem is some subconscious aversion to buying in bulk on my part rather than the juice.

I also listed 3 vendors I wanted to try - The Plume Room, HHV and Ahlusion. I'm currently having a semi-serious love affair with TPR Smooth and Mild. We aren't exclusive or anything - I'm actively playing the field with both Honey Fig and Candy & Burly - but if put to the choice today ... let's just say it can go 60 ml easy and I could probably make an honest vape of it with few regrets.

From HHV, I've tried the Dragon Fire and The Juice Formerly Known as Gollum, and liked both well enough to re-order. The JFKaG is especially unique and probably my favorite of the two. There are a few notable others that I will try just to have the full HHV experience, and I do like two that I've tried so far, but I did not get The Swoon from either of them the way that I did from the TPR juices. Someone a few pages back noted that all of HHV's tobacco juices had the same "Tootsie Roll" note to them, and I definitely picked up on that in the Dragon Fire. Although it's more fragrance than flavor, I found it off-putting and it has tempered my enthusiasm for the rest of the HHV line.

I have yet to try Ahlusion, primarily because their business hours are the same as mine, and the few times that I have found a moment to log on to their website, the juice I was looking for was out of stock. Thus to date, my experience with Ahlusion has been an exercise in frustration. Catching up on this thread has reignited my curiosity, however, and I see that they have several new offerings since the last time I looked, so I'm committing myself to getting an order in this week. My main interests are Blue Grass Burley, Gold Rising, Honey Cured and Smooth Criminal. If anyone could share his/her experience with the burley or the honey cured, or point me to a review, I would be most appreciative.

The other vendor at the top of my "to try" list is Indigo Vapors - any comments on their tobacco line would also be appreciated.

Wow - I got really chatty, here. All I really intended to do was say something snarky about the **** **** thing. :) And offer my congratulations to Mr. Mann on his new baby girl. Welcome to parenting, sir - the most exhilarating, exhausting, humbling, gratifying, perception-shattering force in the universe. May you teach her a fraction of what she teaches you.

As someone new to vaping, there are a few vendors I'll probably never try, for that exact reason.

ETA: Pretty sure this is the vape preceded by juicy... I wish there were an explanation, aside from news stories and a filtered term.

Indeed. We teach so little in comparison to what we are taught.

We can't say. Let me tell you though, it's not a subject that ECF want on its pages. The reason it is **** **** is because ECF censors it, not because we aren't saying.

Thanks for the kind words about the love of my life (well, second to her mommy).

Whahoooo! Another Smooth & Mild lover! I'm a huge NET fan, so it's funny my absolute favorite tobacco from TPR was one of their arti-baccos instead of the NETs. I really liked S&M for a few ml, it had a taste I couldn't peg but was working, then BOOM realized I love this juice and everytime I vaped it put me in a happy vape zone. I seriously need to pick up another bottle of it soon.

The vendor that we can't mention has the initials JV. Ecf censors the name so they don't come up connected with it in internet searches. Not a decision I totally understand or agree with, but respect their wishes.

A few other vendors have their own version of Smooth and Mild (it is somewhat of a common name) and some are the same. Maybe we can have a Smooth and Mild Roundup (like the RY4 thread?) Maybe not. LOL

Really? Do you know what flavoring is used for that one? There was something in one of the flavor notes I got from it that seemed related to a note I've gotten from Bobas Bounty. Other than that it was different from any other arti-bacco I've had, but my overall experience with arti-baccos is fairly limited.

Let me dig through my emails with Andrea...

Nope. It was not one of the ones I had the scoop on. MOV has one and some more vendors do as well.
