Underrated E-Juice Suppliers

[Jerms]

Also liked the point of newbies checking out some of the vendors that may be past their hay-day (BackwoodsBrew, KickBass, Highbrow, Mom&Pop, etc), but still make more interesting juices than the cheap, generic vendors that seem to be the rage. madvapes was my attempt at cheapest possible vaping when I started, but once I moved on I never looked back.

I could name so many vendors that are, as I like to call them, large scale DIY vendors. It's funny because when I see people talking about why DIY is so much more cost effective and inherently better than buying pre-made juice, it leads me to believe that they must be talking about in comparison to those kind of vendors. I mean, damn! If you are talking about a vendor that uses the same flavorings that we all have access to, then of course it makes more sense to do it on your own; if we are talking about vendors that make juices from their own proprietary mother concentrates and flavorings, then you either decide you don't want to spend the money, don't like them, or don't care, but you are not going to replicate those juices; that's my kind of juice.

Yeah I appreciate it when vendors name where they get their flavorings from. Like checking out djstuff and seeing Flavour Art, I knew to move along lol. Been there, done that.

Yeah, I don't doubt that they mix flavors well, but not only do I not DIY, I don't vape anybody's DIY-types. I really don't want to get flamed by fans right now, so I will stop this...

Lol, I hear ya man. They really may be great mixers, but if your arsenal is the same as vendors that have been around for years it's more of the same. Your mixtures may be original but the flavor notes from the blueberry, vanilla, tobacco etc are going to feel like repeats.

That's because they will be.

Yo J, check your messages.

I rarely see Wordup ecig mentioned. They've got a huge variety of tobacco flavors and consistently good quality juices.

I'd like to add MyVapeJuice to the list of under-rated juice vendors. A newish vendor doing some really interesting things with juices. Here's a description for one of the new juices. Try to copy THAT with some simple DIY mixing..

We blended some Blood Orange Tea with some organic dehydrated oranges and let them steep. What we got is a nice mellow orangey tea vape. With the majority of flavor on the inhale the blood orange taste comes through in a subtle manner and is followed by the natural regular orange to meld into a great flavor. I would call this more of a tea flavor than a citrus flavor. Not sweet but not sour, it almost has a fire cured taste on the exhale.

You made a good point about "ingredients." If you see a blueberry (as you noted), of course a vendor may have a more gentle hand when mixing, but if it is the same blueberry that I can buy or that other vendors are using, well, what do we have? We have FlavourArt, or Loranns, or TPA etc. That does not mean that every juice will taste better from an extractor, but if you've ever had Ahlusion's Grape Vine you'll understand the difference between extracted juices and common DIY concentrates.

The question should be Tang vs. freshly squeezed orange juice? Tang SHOULD be cheaper than freshly squeezed orange juice. LOL. Tang has its place, just not in my space.

I also agree that Mom and Pop make fantastic juices, and even offer concentrates! I discovered a PG allergy halfway through 9 bottles of theirs, and can no longer use them, so there's always that to consider. It seriously sucks, I love it but I can't have it and it's right in front of me. I think they deserve much more credit than they get, my PG issues have nothing to do with their great juices.

Yes. And on the other hand (I'm sitting here munching happily on left over Easter jelly beans) there really is an art to properly mixing familiar food flavorings, and that mixing seems to work out best when trying to mimic food products that are frankly 'artificially flavored'. Kick Bass, for instance, makes a Tootsie Rolly that's just all Tootsie Roll (the open secret seems to be a bit of orange, which you can see right away once you know). The genius of Fuzion, which I haven't tried, is in not pretending - "Tastes just like a Gummy Bear, KoolAde, junk-food-berry-bomb cereal, a Twinkie!", etc., and they're apparently doing a really good job with the sugar-rush nostalgia crowd.
Just, a jolly rancher does not taste like a strawberry. It's not really supposed to.

And these are really good jelly beans. Starburst. Munch munch.

There's a right time for everything. Hell, I can parse Heidegger but I really can't put down this new S. King novel. Munch munch.

See, now those are great points. I have had a popular drink made into eliquid, Red Bull, that tasted spot-freaking-on! Oh, and I liked it...well, as much as I like Red Bull.

I'm scouring for great e-juice suppliers and I'm wondering who I missing out on.
Who is your favorite underrated supplier?

Any more to add?

 

[LisaR]

I'll add another of my favorites that you don't hear too much about--High Desert Vapes. I had never heard of them until someone posted a 50% off eliquid sale in Deals and Steals, but the prices were too good to pass up trying. Their regular prices are fairly average, but they have 30 or 50% off sales so frequently, that it's worth waiting for. As for the juice, I have liked nearly everything I've tried (which is a lot! I've ordered from them 4 or 5 times, now!), and several things have made it on to my got-to-have-it list.

I always keep their Dueling Banjos "tobacco" on hand, but there other "tobacco" liquids? Oh boy!

 

[Mr.Mann]

Two Michigan vendors: Kalamazoo Vapor Shop and Mister eLiquid.

I haven't tried any of their tobaccos, but the fruits and sweets in their organics line? Yum!

You may just like DB, and I just may have to try the fruits and sweets! 50% off is hard to pass up and I didn't last time.

Underrated? how bout good ole tobacco? remember the time when we 1st fell in love with a pack of marlboro red that makes us feeling all confident and cool inside. Watching Mad Men and The Americans does give me nostalgia of how great smoking once used to be.
