Thanks @Sirius :D you guys (ECF peeps) have been such a big help to me on several different threads. I shy away from giving reviews, or posting much because I feel like I haven't really tried enough juice to give a great opinion and don't have a ton of experience. I so want to help others though as best I can. I'm still overwhelmed with all the different options out there. Its really nice to get some other peoples opinions on things even if it doesn't end up working for me. Always worth a try!

Same here! My palate isn't sensitive enough to pick up most things, so I don't do reviews. It's more of a 'yay' or 'nay' response from me. I'm behind the curve in equipment, as I'm more of a plug 'n play vaper, so I can't offer much in ways of equipment knowledge. I do my best to help, but I'm better at chatter. ;)

Yes, I really appreciated the list of bold vapes you provided the other day. Thanks again. Thanks for offering to remind Mai to respond to my message. She probably just hasn't had a chance to do it yet. I'm anxious to have a dialogue with her so I can figure out which of her juices are most likely to satisfy my need for bold flavors.

It's not always easy to find 18 mg. nicotine, but I'm not ready to try and reduce the nic content yet. I started out vaping 12 mg. but soon learned that I needed 18 mg. to keep the analogs at bay! I don't sub ohm or anything like that, so need the higher nicotine contents.

I talked to Mai and she's going to look through the emails again to make sure she didn't miss it. She also asked that you send it again to make sure that she gets it. And she agrees with everyone else that the website needs a redo.

Yes, they are making 300 watt Rapter chip mods and in series 3x 26650 mosfet mods. It's insain.
Juices are getting ridiculous as well, I agree. New vendors popping up offering only 3mg and 6mg. You know right away who their fan base will be
Clouds bro Clouds!

Yes! I signed up for a subscription juice service based in Houston called Zodist. I got the first two months worth of juice, and I was happy with the service. Then I got an email saying so many of their vendors were no longer offering anything above 12 mg. nicotine that they were going to stop supplying 18 mg. nicotine as well. I
I've struggled with finding juices I can taste as well. I started vaping 2/2015 and still trying things out. I vape 3mg. Ones I've found to be bold are: MBYC by Sicboy (Primary Flavors: Praline, Vanilla Ice Cream, Custard).

Lushington by Stash (peaches & cream-hands down best real fruit peach I've ever tasted w/ light but rich cream). Dark Star by Stash (bready custard, chocolate, caramel)

Hades by Cyclops Vapor (bold coffee, mocha and nut notes).

Sweet Complexity by Vape Wild (brown sugar, banana, cake, nut, cinnamon-sweet and complex no boost needed) and On Cloud Custard by Vape Wild (I get this with a boost, 50/50 and it's still one of my fav cheap custards).

Pineapple Cream (sweetened) by Ahlusion (pineapple w/ soft-serve ice cream), Lemon Vanilla Cake from Ahlusion (real lemon (not candy) w/ light white cake/cream) Tiramisu (Xpress line-bold coffee, cream, cake). Ahlusion has a ton of fruit flavors that many people love but I found most of my samples too light or I just didn't care for the flavor. The bolder AHL ones I've tried were: Strawberry Sunset (peach, strawberry, nectarine), Peaches & Cream (very peach forward), Caramel Apple (Xpress line-apple forward), Canyon Sun (orange and cranberry very bold) and Lemon Cream. I usually get AHL in 50/50 or 70/30 blends. Hope this helps.

Thank you for all of the great recommendations!

I would love to try the Stash & Sicboy juices, but they don't come in 18 mg. I am dying to try the Cyclops vapors, but was primarily interested in the vanilla custard. Have you tried it? Is it flavorful enough for you? I've also been wanting to try Ahlusion because so many people here love it so much, so I'll definitely try your picks of Strawberry Sunset, Peaches & Cream, Caramel Apple, Canyon Sun and Lemon Cream with the 50/50 or 70/30 ratio. It really helps to know what works for another vaper, like myself, who needs the bold flavors!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. I'll definitely contact Mai again. Her vapes are calling my name!!

I would stay around from Stash right now. Although I think they are exquisite I would not have back when I needed bold and flavorful. You need at least 50/50 ratio or even 70pg. Ahlusion's Lemon Cream is a good one because the citrus gives a good bite. It is good right away too so no need to steep. Cyclops is not what I would call bold either. Sleeping Dragon Vapor maybe? Can she get 50/50 there guys?

Thank you for the advice! Based on what I read here, I ordered from Sleeping Dragon on Sunday. I've got a 50 ml. bottle of Daft Spunk that I received yesterday. I think it's 50/50 or higher. It's steeping now, and smells wonderful. I also ordered their key lime (Skeleton Key), gingerbread cookie (Geezaloos), and kiwi (Tatoo) and they're steeping too.

@JustWondering this is our goal. To save the newcomers dollars. With such a large pool of suppliers out there, and with many a Juice Junkie having boxes of rejected, hyped up nightmares, we try to pass along what we have experiences with what we've tried. Even the rejects and why they didn't make the cut.
I'm very hopeful that we can have a Top Five every year. I think it was a pretty good solution to the following of the sheeple. And with regards to that. The rules have been established. Posting in the Gourmet Thread will be the equivalent of registering to vote in an election.

I need all the advice I can get! The Top Five List was so much fun to read and learn from. I think it's great idea to do one every year!

Please, please, please check back in after you've tried the Daft Spunk, Skeleton Key, and Geezaloos! I hardly ever order from anyone but Ahlusion anymore (too many disappointments), but I've been eyeing those particular flavors and wondering if I should make the plunge.

I'll be happy to do that! They're made nearby, about 45 minutes or so from me, so I'm excited to give them the business and to know they'll always be delivered quickly. I placed the order on Sunday and they were delivered yesterday. Now that's fast!

I love Colossus, the custard from Cyclops. I think it's bold enough for sure. After I posted I thought about that one too but it was getting awful long. Their apple one, Athena is pretty bold too. Their berry cobbler isn't as bold for sure, lacked sweetness for me. I'm going down to my b&m soon to try out the new flavors, so excited for the pineapple cake.

Sorry I missed the higher nic you need. Work your way down at your own pace, your off traditional cigs and that's all that matters at this point. Could keep a wish list on the lower nic brands for later use. I have a to try list a mile long! [emoji81]

Okay I know I'm always preaching REO's Mods and the convenience of squonking. But after gifting a friend a ELEAF ISTICK-100WATT. I bought one paired with the ASPIRE TRITON SUB-TANK...I had a Sig100 but hated it because of the size of the thing. I had a RTA for that as well. A BILLOW. I just got it for reverting juices to different wattages... lol
If it happens to suck I'll let you guys know.
