Wow, found this thread last night & spent the last 10 hours reading it, needless to say, it was enjoyable. I started vaping March 19th, and have tied juices from many vendors; Smokeless Image, Madvapes, Kick Bass Vapors, Vapor Bomb, Altcig, Smoketek, Gotvapes & Virgin Vapor. Most were decent, but better for hardware, SI & Smoketek, and a couple others were unmemorable.
Initially I avoided the Tobacco juices since I wanted to quit Analogs, vaping fruits, coffees & nut flavors, though I've recently dabbled in more Tobaccos, straight & mixed with fruit, honey or caramel.
No top five right now, I mainly wander from vendor to vendor though I have made multiple purchases from Virgin Vapor. I enjoy the VV; Kona Coffee Milkshake, Carmel & Velvet Kona's, Shell Shocked (Hazelnut) & two fruits; Forbidden Fig & Snake Bite (Black Currant) and they are regularly reordered. ADD: I almost forgot the Darjeeling Sweet Tea, a good vape during the Summer after lunch.
I enjoyed the Gotvapes Mountain Rift & 50 States samples I ordered with some hardware and would order those again, I've recently purchased some Back Woods Brew; Casablanca, BWB Blend & Hunters Blend to try. I also bought some MaddCatt Vapors; MaddHatter Bright Leaf, MH Tobacco, Carmel Apple Tobacco & The Schlam (555), trying to find other juices I'd want to reorder.
Right now my list is short:
1. Virgin Vapor- Coffees, Shell Shocked, Forbidden Fig & Snake Bite
2. Gotvapes- Mountain Rift & 50 States
BWB & MaddCatt are steeping, I usually steep my juices ~4-6 weeks, no problem since I've got ~500ml of assorted juices to keep me occupied.
Anyway, thanks for the informative thread, bookmarked another six vendors based on some of your posts, time for a nap before game time.
