It's hard to pick! I've been at this for two years Sept. 6th. Some things I got all hyped about at first but didn't find myself reordering. For all the fancy and expensive stuff I've tried, turns out my favs are pretty reasonably priced. Still have a lot of brands I haven't tried yet, still haven't had the Plume Room, or a lot of newer stuff either, but as far as the brands/flavors I keep going back to, these are the top five I guess, along with my most fav flavors:
1) Nirvana Vapor
Some of the most consistently boldly flavored juice, good throat hit and sometimes creative flavoring (still haven't tried Virtue or Lotus!).
Buddha’s Breath aka Coconut Burfi
Green Genesha
Unicorn Horn aka Bodhi Berry Peach
Vedic Vanilla
2) Coval Vapes
Burns nice and clean and doesn't darken much over time or get gunky, clean tasting flavors, great selection, not super bold but flavorful enough, reasonable price. Still have a lot of flavors left to try from them. These two below also smell wonderful out of the bottle and also leave a great room note.
Versailles
Ocean
3) The Steam Co.
I am putting in my top 5 for these two great flavors below, even though I have only tried one other flavor from them, these two below are such masterpieces to me, never get tired of them.
The Gentleman's Reserve
Beaumont Reserve
4) Fuzion
Another good one for bold flavor, still have more to try here too!
Rasta Blood
Roundhouse with Cream
5) Ahlusion
I haven't been as enamored of most of what I've tried as many are since much of theirs is kinda mild to me, but Shipwreck is always good for me! For me they shine most for tobacco flavors. They also have a great coconut flavoring.
Shipwreck
Caramel Wildwood
Just Criminal
Fijian Nights
Coconut Cream
Honorable Mentions
Free State Vapor
The Nilsson is the one flavor I have vaped the longest and bought the most of over the last two years! Shipwrecked is also a fav. They have a few others I like too. I like that it's organic and the people who make this always struck me as just really nice people.
Seduce Juice
Flavorful, pretty bold flavors too.
Blackjack
Dharma
Myrrh
Vapor Chef
Honey Pearry is delish!
Mad Murdock
Crazy bold flavor, unique, love Bledan Lotus, and Maha Ras is the most unusual flavor I think I've ever had, for when I'm in that mood-it makes an interesting mixing juice as well. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
Alembic Vapor Labs
They only have a facebook and have been on haitus for a long while now while they reformulate their juice (for bolder flavor they said), they are free of the bad chemicals and also their Cinnamon Roll was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had!
AERO Juice
When I was clearing out my juice stash, I ran across some of these and had forgotten how unique they were, still vaped well after a year or more, I'd put them in the niche of being the best at doing a vapeable floral too. I always wonder why I never heard more about them. Aura, Blue Dragon, Sacred Garden
Grizzly Vapes
Their Koko Bear and Nanner Bear are two of the greatest when I want a dry tobacco with only a hint of sweetness and that interesting herbal note they have.
RIP: Southern Steam Juice
They shut down, why I don't know. They didn't have good desert flavors, but they had the best blackberry flavoring I've ever had, an amazing pecan flavoring too. And I still have one bottle of Louisiana Diplomat left! And it's still delicious:
the light and sweet flavor of watermelon with the delicious yet earthy taste of pecans and the robustness of fire-cured tobacco
Lots of other nice stuff that it would take too long to mention. I just discovered a great vape lounge near work today that has a zillion brands! So maybe I'll get back into trying more new things. I have been on a low-buy for so long after I accumulated such a stash.
