Been trying more and more vendors on my juice journey. My list as of right now is

AVE- Boba's Bounty
HHV- Gandalf
BWB- Casablanca (wish I was around to try their RY4 or eJoker I hear so much about)
GV- Pyramid Fusion
SV- Belgian Waffle

Still have yet to try Rawr or Highbrow, but hoping to place an order with each this week.

That was a good read! As a matter of fact, many vendors ought to have that post, posted on their wall!

Thanks, I was hoping it wouldn't be taken the wrong way. Newbies can feel a little lost at the beginning, trying to get set up and find their vape, and feel gratitude to those who help them along the way. I know I want to buy from those who shined the light for me.

You're fine. I tell you though, it is a hell of a journey. I once said, vaping is like a rolllercoaster: there are many highs and lows, but the ride is immensely envigorating! This forum can be the same way, but I take all of it in stride. Plus, it sure as hell beats the days when I would comment on youtube and wait a month for a response from someone or anyone!

Not sure who you're talking about, but I have one or two guesses. The way I see it, at this point there are enough great juices out there, many of which are made by very cool, down-to-earth people, there's no reason why I should give my hard-earned money to some ego-maniacal jerk who has no respect for his customers. Not worth it for any particular juice, in my book.

There was a time where one could feel king, but now there are way too many vendors that are producing flavors that are extraordinary to have to kiss feet. Maybe when the competition was minimal at best and Dekang ruled the day, but now it is too easy to 86 a vendor over a misstep. I have read and heard horror stories that don't seem to follow other vendors, so I know for a fact that some it is true. (A fact because I have seen it, not directed at me, but I was appalled nonetheless.)

Hail to all the vendors that give a damn about us, and the hell with the vendors that don't give a damn.

Yup.. The three on my list are there because they make great juice, and I would also call all of them friends to varying degrees.

Brad who runs Juicy Vapor is an all around great guy, have met him in person twice.. he and his shop are about an hour away. His employees are little more hit or miss than he is personally (IE, younger college aged peeps that may or may not want to be at work) but I've never had them mess up an order.

Mad Murdock is just cool and very personable. I've never met him as he's clear across the other side of the continent but we talk on here all the time.

Pharmboy (Illustrated_Man) is a fantastic man. He lives in the adjacent suburb from me, I see him at least once a month on average.. we talked for many hours last night over BBQ and vapor. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer guy, really.

I would like to thank Muldemar for furthering the discussion that Racehorse brought up. I just received my juices from Ahlusion and let me tell ya': ANY VENDOR that thinks their juices reign supreme, is not vaping, but smoking something!

Ahlusion (Wlad) and I talked several times through email and I am just amazed at the level of professionalism and, here's the kicker: TRANSPARENCY!

All these vendors that are all secretive, aloof, and guarded with their "secret" recipes and procedures need to wake up and vape some other vendors juices. I talked with Nick at GeJ, Wlad at Ahlusion and Andrea at The Plume Room and felt so much more informed as to what I was getting because they trusted that I was just a consumer seeking clarity and not some covert, secret agent trying to bootleg their perceived magical concoctions!

One of these days, maybe, these vendors that we are respectfully leaving nameless, will realize that without us they are just another vaper that happens to DIY!

p.s. Ahlusion is FANTATSTIC!

I hope I don't seem to flighty, but Ahlusion has jumped onto my list of Top 5 Vendors with a quickness and the ones that are off will not get a second glance from me. Out of all my beloved vendors who offer real tobacco vapes, this vendor has floored me with non-tobacco vapes. Do yourself a flavor ;) and try Ahlusion.

I will be hyping Ahlusion because of more than just the flavors! They are setting new standards for vendors and I think any discerning vaper should give them a test drive at the very least.

I am not saying who on my list is staying or going, but as of now, there are 3. I previously said that 2 were off, but another just fell short (though I will continue vaping that vendors flavors). I think it's interesting that the newer vendors are outperforming some of the more "established" vendors. Maybe complacency is the death of ingenuity and modernity? Ahlusion is a modern vendor! Don't wait as long as I did! Their juice" Devil Dog," a true NET, sold out in less than 24 hours and they were stocked with 130 bottles. Get some! :)

Isn't Ahlusion a WTA vendor? If so, do all of their juices contain WTA. Not sure I want that since I'm doing fine without it.

Absolutely NOT. Ahlusion is, and I repeat, not a WTA vendor. Not that anything is wrong with WTA vendors; plus, the only two WTA vendors sale regular liquid. Ahlusion is a BSN vendor in my opinion!

It's good you asked!
