After just over 5 months of vaping and approx 10 diff juice vendors tried it has occurred to me that u have to kiss alot of frogs to find your price...my ratio of vapeable vs unvapeable is a bit lopsided. With that being said I will say that since I have spent hours researching on ecf that I am getting better at picking things to spend my money on :)

So my questions are
1) how long have u been vaping
2) how many juice vendors have u tried
3) what does ur vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like? (mine is 60/40, but getting better, lol)
4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again ( mad vapes for me )
5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again ( DIY flavor shak, vapalicious, and highbrow )


I am interested to see if I am in the normal range as far as wasted money,lol or if I need to buy more storage!! :)
Thanks!!

1.Two years this month.
2. About 15 - 20.
3. Almost anything is vapeable. Almost. If I ran out and was shut off from supplies I have about 200 eh-to-ugh bottles stashed.
I would have to be very desperate to vape any Dekang tobacco flavor. I don't like tobacco flavors. Did when I started. Now they make me nauseous, like cigarette smoke now does. Blegh.

'Keeper' to 'nah' ratio is a better question... in the whole field about 15/85, I guess. Some previous 'keepers' have been far surpassed - even some favorites - so it's a fluid thing. I get pickier as I go. Kick Bass Vapor? 99/1. :)
4. I hate Dekang; I only seem to enjoy good quality, small-operation US made juice. That's not jingoism. It's me tastebuds.
5. Kick Bass Vapor!!.
Virgin Vapor (some). CopperCreek (some).

1) how long have u been vaping: Two years this february

2) how many juice vendors have u tried: Many... I'd say 35-40+/-

3) what does your vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like?: completely unvapable? less of a vendor issue... more of a specific juice ratio... possibly 1/10 juices I try are unvapable... but I should mention... I also know what to avoid... I avoid heavily flavored juices and certain flavors I don't care for... most flavourart... caramels... right now, I have about 300-500mls of juice I'd love to trade or sell... I'll get around to it eventually. It does get easier after time...


4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again: velvet vapors, ms. t's, gourmet vapors, DIY Flavorshack, FSUSA: very good vendors... all of them... just too much flavor for me... or too much flavourart...


5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again: Backwoods Brew, Want2Vape, nHaler, PrimeVaping, Vaperite, iVape, Bluemist, Puresmoker, LiquidXpress, moondrop

1. 4 months
2. around 10-12 vendors
3. I'd say 20% of juices are good to me, 5% are awesome
4. Revolver, I tried a sample pack of their juices, horrible taste but nice vendor!
5. Kick Bass Vapor, I'm hooked on GBC and I order other flavors to try when I order my GBC

It's good to try juices you hear a lot of good things about. You can sell or trade them if you don't enjoy it.

1) how long have u been vaping -- 4 months
2) how many juice vendors have u tried - i have 15 in front of me right now so i know there is more..lol
3) what does ur vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like? (mine is 60/40, but getting better, lol) - all are vapable just most i prefer not to vape unless i really have to.. very few that i would vape daily.
4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again ( mad vapes for me )it use to be madvapes but i found if i take their Kona cream and a drop of Void mist Banana and some chocolate of sorts, it becomes vapable but generally i will not order juice from them again.
5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again ( DIY flavor shak, vapalicious, and highbrow ) - havent found that one yet...there are a couple i would buy one juice from.... Void Mist - Batter Cake Special....Excalibur - Espresso(i like mine mixed with caramel or chocolate).... i cant just name one because i havent found a vendor where i like more than one liquid from each..

my ratio is getting higher as I know what to choose now.
But I do still have preference.
I first tried Halo when I started. Like what others have said, I now know what they meant by clean.
followed by allabloutvapor, johnson creek, liquidxpress, tastyvapor, pink spot vapor.

I only like Halo's malibu and tiki. Followed by allaboutvapor fruity juice like pinapple, pinappple crush and pina colada.
I think I just like to vape fruity stuff.

Weird thing is other halo's liquid is unvapable for me. I can't even stand juice such as smooth 8. One of the worst I have tried. Note that liquid is very personal choice. nothing against these vendors.

Worst flavor I have tried: Kretek from tasty vapor, watermelon mix with mint or something. I couldn't remember it but I threw up the first time I vape it. and of course the smooth 8.

1 - vaping about 5 months.
2 - tried about 7 or so vendors
3 - unknown, i made the mistake of judging flavors when using egoT atomizerA/B, which now i see were notorious for crappy flavor/vapor. so i mixed about a dozen+ flavors together (of various volumes) in a last ditch effort to try and salvage something out of them all. turns out i like what i created (top secret formula), but now that i'm using cartomisers i wish i hadn't done that, since i probably would have liked a number of the flavors as they were.
4 - i would never buy again from myfreedomsmokes.com - left a few reviews on their site of some juices, the positive ones showed up, the negatives ones mysteriously never did...
5 - i would gladly buy from mtnvapor.com. clean/simple site, great flavors, and their 30ml deal is hard to beat.

1) 13 months
2) Approximately 10
3) 98%/2% (maybe I will vape just about anything...)
4) There are no vendors I would'nt buy from again, but there are some flavors
5) Very many: Halo, Backwoods, AVE, Bluemist, NiteLite, Want2Vape, MadVapes. The list goes on and on--there are many great juice makers!

Good luck with finding what works for you. If you'd like to minimize your money expenditure, try Bluemist or NiteLiteVapor. There are lots of other vendors slightly more expensive with great track records. Plenty of them I haven't tried yet!

1) how long have u been vaping

Since August 19, 2010.

2) how many juice vendors have u tried

Darn near all of them.

3) what does ur vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like? (mine is 60/40, but getting better, lol)

I'll venture a pretty good guess of 80% vapable. The other 20% were because I didn't care for the flavor. I'm also not too picky on what I vape. I can even vape crab juice if I have too.

4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again ( mad vapes for me )

ECBlend only because I had a horrible experience with the owner and a leaky package which the failed to correct and basically called me a liar. Sorry but I even sent pics...I was far from lying about the leakage. I'll never deal with them again.

5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again ( DIY flavor shak, vapalicious, and highbrow )

I can't name just one but these are my top favorites....topshelfvapes.com, virginvapor.com, sweet-vapes.com, V4L.com (only 3 I like are No.7, berry bandit, and banana breeze), PrimeVaping.com (nostalgia and kong's vape are my favorite but majority are good)

I'm not that far ahead of you in vaping terms.

1) I have been vaping since August 1, 2011
2) I have tried Liberty-Flights, LiteCigUSA, MadVapes, Clouds of Vapor, EcigExpress, and Good Prophets for juice
3) 80/20 (I don't like some of the real sweet vapes from MadVapes like I thought I would)
4) I would use all of the vendors listed above again
5) Clouds of Vapor (butterscotch, blueberry pancakes), ECigExpress (Orange Orgasm), Liberty Flights RY4 - sorry, couldn't name just one

After just over 5 months of vaping and approx 10 diff juice vendors tried it has occurred to me that u have to kiss alot of frogs to find your price...my ratio of vapeable vs unvapeable is a bit lopsided. With that being said I will say that since I have spent hours researching on ecf that I am getting better at picking things to spend my money on :)

So my questions are
1) how long have u been vaping
2) how many juice vendors have u tried
3) what does ur vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like? (mine is 60/40, but getting better, lol)
4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again ( mad vapes for me )
5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again ( DIY flavor shak, vapalicious, and highbrow )


I am interested to see if I am in the normal range as far as wasted money,lol or if I need to buy more storage!! :)
Thanks!!

I've been vaping about 1 1/2 months now, tried 6 vendors (counting the initial came with the kit stuff)...ratio is about 90/10 but then I've been very picky about flavors and where I got them (read a lot of forum info before ordering! great info on here!). Haven't met a company that I did not like yet, but most tobacco flavors now are off my "menu"...just lost the taste for tobacco after about 2-3 weeks of vaping and having an alternative to tobacco flavors for my nic needs.
companies I highly recommend: Dawn @ DIY Flavorshack (recently helped me custom make a "brandy alexander" juice--flavoring only and it was darn near perfect on the 1st try), Juicy Vapors, and Ms T's Bakery are my top picks of the 6 vendors I've tried. DIY Flavorshack's selections/variety of vanillas in great, I'm a vanilla-holic...my top pick for vanilla there is the "nilly bean ice cream" right now, but that changes as I try more varieties. Also love her raspberry lemonade. Juicy Vapor gets my vote for "moose milk" (irish cream, kahluha and vanilla) and for the orange creamsicle....their pizza flavor was an interesting experience and ok for an occassional vape. haven't got the guts to try bacon or jalepeno poppers or some of their other more "adventurous" juices yet....but nice to know they have them if I want to later on.

  1. Two months now. Picked it up initially closer to my join date in 2009, but went back to the cancer sticks because atomizers and cartridges really were no fun at all. All the paraphanelia I had to carry made me feel like a druggy.
  2. AVE, Decadent Vapours, Intellicig, Johnson Creek, Vaperite, Totally Wicked, Halo, Virgin Vapors, Dekang, Vapor Station
  3. Vapeable is in the double digits, unvapeable in the single digits, probably 70/30
  4. Johnson Creek
  5. Most of them

I'm one of the people who can't stomach Johnson Creek's base flavor. It makes me feel nauseous. I also wasn't a huge fan of Halo, their tobaccos taste floral to me.

Perez-uzza to this day
1) how long have u been vaping
2 yrs 2.5 months

2) how many juice vendors have u tried
??? No clue. A lot. For over a year and a half I tried soooo much. Wasted a lot of money. Found favorites. Burned out on those favorites. Tried new and the cycle continued.
3) what does ur vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like? (mine is 60/40, but getting better, lol)
Unvapable. Not much. But after awhile I just found myself reaching for certain things over and over again and not needing to change flavors all the time when I had those certain things in my atty. After that, most things became interesting diversions but unvapable in the long run because I just wanted to switch to something better. Unvapable gross? Maybe 15%. Not intersted in vaping it? Probably 95%.

4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again ( mad vapes for me )
I can't think of anyone with juice that offended me that much. Most vendors have crap, but also have something good or intersting too...

5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again ( DIY flavor shak, vapalicious, and highbrow )
Backwoodsbrew (Rootbeer, RY4, Casablanca), Halo (Tribecca), DIY Flavorshack (Peaches N Owl and only Peaches N Owl). I've been through loads of BWB Rootbeer, Halo Tribecca and DIYfs Peaches N Owl. And I can't imagine not continuing in that course of action; for me, 90ml orders of these seem to disappear into thin air. Even if I like something else...it seems like only a few ml go down before I want to go back to one of these.

1) how long have u been vaping: Fourteen months (today!)

2) how many juice vendors have u tried: At least 14+

3) what does your vapeable to unvapeable ratio look like?: About 60/40, but rapidly decreasing the "unvapeable" percentage. I finally know (mostly) what to avoid, in both category and sweeteners/bases. I can't taste chocolate or most bakery goods. Other juices I loved but could not tolerate because of something in the base or the sweeteners used.

4) name one juice vendor u would not buy from again: Vape-a-licious, Sweet-Vapes and KBV(!). All because of something in their bases that doesn't agree with me; many of their juices TASTE wonderful!

5) name 1 juice vendor u would buy from again: NiteLiteVapors, Highbrow Vapors, Darth Vapers, Vermillion River, Smokeless Image, Vapor4Life. A few others I will purchase 1 or 2 juices from, but am not generally a fan of (no need to name names!) :)
