Here here - I have the same strange relationship with bobas........ really hits the spot sometimes and others - meh!
I am truly excited about the ahlusions juice- it smells so amazing and I will wait for the HHV gandalf to steep for a good while before passing judgement there - too much back and forth .......that I have seen.

Depends on who's going back and forth. I generally am right in line with most that have simiilar tastes as I do. If someone has completely disparate tastes from mine, then I will take their opinion with a grain of salt regarding those that i love and those that I don't.

When I first started, this thread was always near the top of the list and it helped me find the juices I like the most. I didn't know enough to add 5 vendors then, but I do now. Here's mine:

1. Heather's Heavenly Vapes - Consistent flavor, great performing liquid, and never a flavor I didn't like.
2. Vape Dudes - Great flavors, and since it's in a neighboring state, usually get my shipment in 2 days.
3. Vermillion River - Great flavors, like the glass dropper bottles.
4. AltCig - Only one order, but great flavors and excellent service.
5. Halo - Haven't ordered directly, but a local shop carries them. Great tobacco flavors.

Any suggestions for ordering from BackWoods Brew. Based on earlier posts I am going to try Casablanca for sure.

I was also thinking of Applewood (to give some fruit a try, but still stick to the tobacco tone) and Virginia Tobacco.

I am pretty new to this and am trying to make sure I have a good stash of equipment and juices so I do not run out. I have tried Marlboro and Tobacco from Apollo when I ordered the vtube mini, they were ok but won't order again they were just to have something to use first.

I have ordered from Heathers Heavenly Vapes and they are great. I really like Gandalf and Dark House. Letting Dragon Fire and Heavenly Tobacco steep for a bit because there wasn't much taste. Waiting to try the Watermelon Double D from them until I get my other aotmizers in.

Any suggestions would be great, thank you.

I would recommend 555 Exotic from BWB, but some don't like it. I think it is an absolutely fantastic juice that is very sophisticated...and it doesn't taste at all like 99% of 555 juices, which is AWESOME!

Has a good description, how strong of a nutty taste does the 555 and 555 exotic have?

I agree- I tend to follow some users on here as we "like" the same things.... that has rarely failed me. There are def. certain vape flavs I do not care for and those dislikes have been consistent for over a year of vaping - so I doubt they will change.

I've probably saved a lot of money since I started listening to what's said here. It did take me a while to figure out the people that had similar tastes to mine. I haven't bought anything I just couldn't vape at all in a long time. Even the juices I get that I won't necessarily re-order are pretty much always good enough that I won't waste the bottle. My earlier track record was pretty dismal, maybe 1 out of 10.

555 E has more of a citrus, bright and somewhat honey like taste to the predominantly nutty taste of standard 555. IMO. I barely get any of that odd nutty taste to 555 E, if any at all.

Flying blind, or with random eyes will get you lost--it got me lost.

Wow! Can I come over? LOL

I think Boba's is good, but I sort of have a love hate relationship with it. I love that it is a perfectly vapable juice, but I hate that so many think it is God's gift to vaping...it ain't that good. I think it is awesome that you have followed along and ended up where you have. Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome and the heads up Mr. Mann. The bottle in my future just got smaller. I've got several highly hyped juices that don't even come close. I don't think steeping is gonna help them much. Just not for me. I'm still learning that what I like to eat or drink isn't necessarily what I'll want to vape. Unless of course the juice comes from HHV or Ahlusion or something. Then the odds go up considerably. :)

That's a tough choice then, between 555 E and Applewood. Will have to do some more thinking, haha. Thanks again.

I don't want to eat tobacco :facepalm:, but I sure love to vape it. :vapor:

I've grown so confident with the people here on ECF, "small bottles" usually start at about 15ml for me anymore. :)

I realize now I'm a born tobacco vaper but I also have a bit of a sweet tooth. There are a number of people on here that I can follow with confidence as well. I've been trying to catch up on the Tobacco Liquid thread. These both have been good reads.

What are some of your favorites as far as tobaccos? What kind of sweet do you like with your tobacco? Full sweetness, or more sweet essence/aroma? Vanilla, honey, caramel, chocolate????

All Of the above actually! My favorite now is Copper Creek House blend. Kinda like smoking a cake. Best of both worlds. :) A close second is HHVs Gandalf. Everything is still steeping but I've been vaping Tobacco Road after meals and at night with a few drinks. I got a little bored and adventurous the other night and mixed 3 parts CCHB and 2 parts Gandalf. I can't imagine a better vape. I highly recommend it.

I agree, I don't think I have one juice that I haven't liked based on suggestions in these forums. The only juices I've gotten that I don't like is when I went out on a limb and tried something crazy or ordered juice while drunk. This is a great thread for finding new vendors. Thanks Mr. Mann, you always have great posts.

Same here...Primarily a clearomizer user here, and it didn't play nice at all with my clearos (didn't wick, burnt taste, gunking). I did put it in one of those high volume, low resistance cartomizers and it did ok, but I'm feeling Boba's is really for people who drip. I also think I'd take Heather's Georgia Peach Tobacco over Boba's any day.
