Top 5 vendors (e-liquid)

[cliff]

While over the years I've ordered from several, in the last year or so it's only Tasty Vapor(tobacco menthol) and madvapes(tobacco and flavors) in that order

I used to drip and maybe that's the problem - I need to get back to that. I normally use Vivi Nova's, Vision stardusts, - just because they are so much easier for "on the go". I have found that glass tanks (Phiniac) are the next best to direct dripping, but I seem to get confused as to which size atty's I need to buy for them. Thank you for the recommendation on the Cisco 306 atty - I'm going to google that now!

And yes, don't want to go around chewing Tums all day! lol

Ahhh ya I get a strange taste out of my vivi novas sometimes. Another cheap option are better life dripping attys. They have primer though so you gotta get through that first but they're only 5$. They're good though.

As far as what to try from Ahlusion: I have only had four juices from them, Devil Dog (NET; very clean, straight forward, nothing added, atty friendly extracted tobacco juice), Boba Tea Honeydew and Plain (honest flavor with nothing off and as true as the actual drinks), and Orange Ginger Oolong Tea (refreshingly clear, all the flavors that are supposed to come through do, even the oolong).

The reason that I recommend Ahlusion is becasue many of you know that I am a tobacco vaper and they truly impressed me with non-tobacco flavors. None of my favorite vendors impress me with non-tobaccos. That is just how I am cut. So, with Ahlusion, I gave them an opportunity to woo me with non-tobaccos and they did. That is not to say that I will be re-ordering these juices, but I will order some more non-tobaccos with every order just so I can have a good feel for their capabilities. They are about to release their own RY4 called Gold Rising and very soon Blue Grass Burley will be released. Those are just a couple of what is to come.

I think whatever catches your eye is what you should order from Ahlusion. This thread here is a great place to get some ideas. It is a very clear-minded set of reviews put forth by the op and I find the delivery of those reviews to be gorgeous!

Lol. Thanks. There's like 40 of them that sound good. Gonna have to grab 4 or 5 of them to try.

Let us know what catches your eye and someone will chime in with suggestions for other flavors from other vendors. What specifically do you think you are looking for? I add the word "think" because sometimes our eating mind gets tantalized to no end, but the subsequent vape (sometimes) leaves us wanting. I vape tobacco because my vaping mind wants tobacco. If I had only known that in the beginning!

This is the thread I linked earlier. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-reviews/297252-ahlusion-teas-more.html Awesome read there.

Will do. I'm not sure what I'm looking for - I've tried everything from desserts to fruits to coffee to tobacco flavors. I tend to gravitate toward cinnamon and coffee flavors (absolutely loved Snickerdoodle by Mrs T's), however, I find that if I vape too much of it, it starts to bother me physically. I also love Kona Cream Coffee flavor, but now I'm getting that weird taste in my mouth (as with all of my juices). Loved several of HHV's tobacco flavors but again, bad taste in my mouth. I don't think it has anything to do with the juices, however. Must be what I'm using to vape.

Thank you for the link and I'll let you know what I ordered!

BetterLife 510 3-Hole Dripping Atomizers (2.0-2.5 ohm) [BL510-3Hole] - $4.99 : ValueVapor.com, Discount Electronic Cigarettes and e-Liquid

Oh, how I wish I had that bit of information when I first tried attys! If your atty is wet when you get it, blow that stuff out into a napkin, then blow that stuff out into a napkin, and finally blow that stuff out into a napkin. After that, give it a day or so to really break-in and don't expect the world from it too soon. The atty (dripping atty) game is awesome if you can get it right.

Thanks Dante - will order some of these, too! I hate that primer stuff but it's not a deal breaker!

You see the dilema you all put me in. With some vendors I have a strong inclination as to what to buy, but from Ahlusion, all I can say is, I implore anyone reading this to at least check out their site.

Hmmm. Wonder why the bad taste? Do you drip? Tank? What? If you haven't tried dripping let me recommend this...Cisco 306 atomizers. They have no primer to affect the flavor and work awesome for dripping. They would at least let you figure out if it's the atty or carto that's causing the bad taste. If you're getting a bad taste from these then it has to be something in the juice itself. I've also read where ppl used tums to counteract the taste in their mouth. But who wants to run around chewing tums all the time.

Dante - sorry if this is a dumb question, but do I need an adapter to use 306 attys on a 510 connection?

 

[lauragal]

Never mind, found my answer!

 

[DantesInferno]

Nope but you'll need a 306 tip. 306 tips slide over the atty instead of in it.

You tried these better life attys? I'm shocked how well they perform. I never thought I'd get away from my 306's (well I won't because I like my DCA and it's only for 306's) but these cheap lil boogers are great!

 

[SkulleryMaid]

Ignoring previous discussion and answering question at hand... Right now I have two vendors who I'd list:

Ms. T's Bakery (ordered several repeat flavors)

ECBlends (a few real gems, many decent, and some unvapeable flavors)

I've always been curious of Malty Toffee from Backwoods and the Orange sangre from Highbrow, but haven't tried those guys yet. Several others I found to be mediocre in flavor and/or price. Ms. T's is pricey but oh so delicious. ECBlends is so cheap I don't care if its not great.

No worries. Their site is beautiful and their descriptions are done very well. I have picked devil dog, vecchio blend, peachy criminal, pralines and cream, and boba tea with honeydew for my to try list. Vecchio blend really caught my attention.

I just placed an order for: Butterscotch, Car-Mal Mambo, Chocolate Hazelnut, Orange Creamsicle, Peppermint Mocha, and Smooth Criminal. I'm on "notify" for two or three additional juices.

Awesome. Let me know how u like them and the attys.

 

[lauragal]

Sure will!

I have been to many sites that promise you a world of flavors with pretty pictures to boot; Ahlusion has that and more. They seem to have a level of professionalism (I use that term with them a lot) along with an attention to detail that speaks volumes about the brains behind the operation. I have been communicating with Wlad, the owner, about different things and he is quite the meticulous, details man. If I was a betting man, which I am not, I would invest in Ahlusion stock if they were ever traded publicly.

 

[new kid]

I don't think I would order from Ahlusion.

They may be good but they fall into the same category I have as some of the others on the list: expensive. They may be good, but I feel they are pricey. especially considering that I am still learning what I like. I have quite a few bottles that I will likely never use (they usually end up with a friend of mine that I got started).

I have set myself a range for what I will pay for juice and I don't go over that.

3 for Ahlusion?

If there was ever evidence that the rating is not necessarily tied to quality, THAT would be the example! Not saying the tops aren't good, but we will see where this goes in about a year. I think the newer vendors that are fighting hard for their customers may turn out to over take the long standing heads of the class. Watch out for the new kids. Wink, wink.

I totally understand your perspective. However, when it comes to prices, I don't cut corners with any consumable products, whether it be wine, beer, food, movies, or e-juice. Again, I understand, but take it from someone who has wasted more money than a little, sometimes the old adage is true about getting what you pay for. There are exceptions, thank God for the exceptions, but some vendors have put money into real labs, product research, testing, employees and a host of other things that shows up in the price as well as the beauty of the vape.

Also, the cool thing about the quality, more expensive vendors is the option to put them in the classifieds. I have purchased lesser known juices that ended up being terrible, so much so that I couldn't even give away--so no classifieds for those. Money gone!
