Unhappy with Blue Ox juices

[WimWalther]

Just a quick gripe.

When I've run out of my good, fairly-priced juice from EC Blends (like now) I've had to buy a brand called Blue Ox that's made right here in Minnesota.

Not only is it ridiculously expensive ($20+tax for 60ml) it just doesn't taste very good at all. See, I like basic mint flavors, which really shouldn't be too hard to get right. The EC Blend candy cane twister flavor was always just great, but the two mints I've tried from BO taste almost exactly alike, but neither are anything I'd call "good".

But the worst part? The BO juices plug my Kangertech coils in about a week, when coils used to last for a month using ECB juice. This might have something to do with the fact that the BO juice is dark like molasses vs ECB which was almost clear. Either way, it's not good and this drives up the costs even more than the overpriced juice.

Not sure why you feel you have been forced to buy only one other maker. Look around online. I do DIY but also buy commercial from time to time. One that is affordable and pretty good is the Silverback line.

So far, Blue Ox is the only locally available brand that I've found which offers an 18mg juice.

But yes, there are numerous other offerings, but I never know who does or doesn't ship to my state. And with the inflated cost of shipping, its just not practical to sample everything of interest.

DIY. Problem solved. Mint is easy.

If you’re in the twin cities there is a lot of brands besides blue ox (which does suck) available. Even i diy better stuff than blue ox, and I’m just about the most sloppy DIY juice maker there is. $20 for 60ml doesn’t strike me as expensive for premade juice though. Especially OTC. I’ve seen $30 for 30ml
