It's hard to really quantify that an eliquid is 'premium' because that can be just based on whether they have a nice looking website and if their juices are expensive. In some cases i have had expensive liquid, which is no better than something half the price.

You can find a decent list of UK vendors here;

As stated earlier, it's not really for me to say whether these eliquids are premium or not, but i have had tried and enjoyed eliquids from each of those listed below and IMO they are considerably better than totally wicked!

Vapist
Triphammer UK E Liquid
E-liquid / Eliquid, custom e-liquid | Vapology
Chefs Vapour
Spiritus Vapes (these are UK based but sell 'premium' US liquids

And finally, i have not actually tried eliquids from this vendor yet, but i do have some steeping at the moment and they have a very good reputation amongst many people on here. The papillon organic range is also, as you may have guessed based on organic ingredients....

Papillon Organic

Good luck with finding something you enjoy :)

I, like you bbbrune23, was getting nothing but disappointment from the e-juice that I tried, nothing was living up to my expectation nor sating my needs. I fell back into smoking ciggies, only a few months ago did I get back on the e-cig horse.

After trying plenty of juices from various 'premium' vendors, I have only found a couple juices that I actually think are tasty enough for me to vape on.

What kind of juices are you looking for, fruity, desert-y, menthol-y or tobacco-y?

Your kit will also play a large part in your experience.

Depends on what flavours you want. A new UK company has started a range of sweet fruity eliquids that are pretty good though if you want realistic tobacco flavours then in my opinion you can't beat the new UK-made range from JAC Vapour, in particular Real Tobacco, Real Tobacco Lite and Smooth Cigar-slightly smoky but very satisfying flavours overall. Lots of fancy tobacco eliquids out there with names like real ales, but many are just over-egged blends of european food flavours that only vaguely resemble tobacco.

Jacvapour and Flavour Factory?


JacVapour has always been over-priced and sells nothing even vaguely impressive or even good value.
Flavour Factory is the company that likes to sell basic ego kits on Amazon to unsuspecting newbies for £40, links to which I complained about on AAEC and had to be removed by moderators.

Which begs the question why anybody would be recommending either of these companies.

AVOID.

Thanks for your feedback there. I quiet liked the creme brulee from Spiritus Vapes but didn't like flavour factory. Just came across another eliquid seller which says it's premium, Tay & Phil eliquids, anyone got something from them before? Cheers

You can buy from them if you like. Nobody knows who they are. They talk a good game, but sadly nobody is falling for their BS about being the "first premium liquid vendor" in the UK. What a joke. The e-cig world is full of people jumping on the bandwagon, promising much but delivering bugger all. They came on here, and soon got shown the door.

Why not try some of the "originals" and best vendors.

or LT ecigs

or The Alchemists cupboard.
The Alchemists Cupboard Home Page, E-Liquids made in the UK

or some new boys who don't "big" themselves up and spam forums.
Chefs Vapour

LT are virtually giving away liquid at the moment, with bundles that are not much more than £1 for 10ml.

- -

If in doubt, ask on AAEC UK.

It must be really difficult for new vapers who dont look at forums, etc and just take a punt either at a B&M or online. There are so many places selling stuff I'd hate to be starting out trying to find decent juices without help.

I know, I know. :)

The reality is that this "new" vendor probably sells plenty nice enough liquid, albeit too expensive.

What I object to is a) spamming forums and b) making up BS about what they are offering.

It's really not that hard to say "here we are, this is what we do.." and cut the crap.

I second LT Cigs. Bought loads from them and not been disappointed. Ordered Sunday night, vapemail on Tuesday. They sell other stuff like kanthan at good prices and wicking material too.

I bought 30ml creme d' straw, 5 metres of kanthal and some silica (for when I'm too lazy to thread cotton wool). I didn't spend a tenner!

The premium stuff is good and you do get what you paid for.

If you want 1ml samples try smoke rainbow, but I'd recommend dripping that amount as 1ml ain't worth dry burning and cleaning out for.

Spiritus has some great premium stuff and they do offers which will bring you a fair amount of juice.

Mrs lords I'm a big fan of too - great service as well.

This is a great thing to use the small batteries/clearomisers for ...anything from a basic cigarette size one to something like an e-Smart. I found some rather decent little clearomisers at Cloud9 and they're perfect for trying smaller quantities on those batteries.
The clearomisers hold around 1ml, 1.2 or 1.6ml each.
This type can be re-filled quite a lot of times and rinsed out when needed, then they just get thrown away.

Yeah, i agree - I'm immediately dubious of anyone new to a forum that starts off by applauding 'Joe Bloggs Premium eliquid'. It's generally a vendor no-one has heard of. I only buy from vendors i havent heard of before if someone trusted recommends them.

The other trouble is that it's as easy to be misled by low prices as high. LT are recommended by so many people i went ahead and ordered 70ml of various flavours (havent tried any yet though), which i probably wouldnt have done because i'd have assumed it wasnt very good as the prices are so low, even without the current bundle offers.

I have been looking at those Colonel Boom's juices, really want to try a few of those next, they seem to be very highly rated on 'all the juices'- I will have to check out your reviews VapeMeStupid.

I am sure half of the reviewers (not referring to VapeMeStupid) have little or no tastebuds though, they seem to like everything that they try. They should save themselves some time and effort by just posting the same review with a different juice name dubbed over the places that need it.

So far (after a couple years vaping) I have only managed to find one juice that has actually lived up to the hype - Vaping King's Jester Juice.
A couple others are alright (given the right setup), the rest have ranged from bland to vomit-inducing.

I know taste is subjective and all that, but I would be interested to know if any of the main reviewers are supertasters...
 
Thanks guys.

Have tried the "HeadShot" from Colonel Boom's juices which was pretty decent I must say. I also tried the arctic cherry from Vape escape but preferred the taste of cherry from Tay & Phil, probably the best cherry I've tried so far IMO. I got their world cup collection but have only tried this taste so far. I've placed an order with LT Ecigs but haven't received them yet..Will update you once I get it. Cheerio
 
As a relative noob here my views may be discounted but I have tried lots of juices from a whole variety of different sources ...maybe 60-70 different vendors in my 16 months of Vaping .

My own personal stand outs are

Digbys, Triphammer, T-Juice, Mrs Lord, Craft Vapes ,Mystic Juice as someone else pointed out though a lot of the pleasure from a

good/bad juice is determined by how good/bad the equipment is that you are using them with
