vaporstation still a good company? Are they based in the US and do they make the juice or get it shipped in from elsewhere? Theres a few there I'd like to try
As far as I know,
VaporStation is based in San Francisco. The owner of VS works with the flavor chemist of a flavoring company in India to create the recipes for VS liquids, the results of which include some unique flavoring ingredients and a very interesting line of juices. They are manufactured in India and supplied to VS as pre-mixed bottled/labeled juices. That's not a criticism, by the way. Numerous high-end juice vendors (NiteLiteVapor comes to mind) contract with a flavor supplier/manufacturer to produce their own proprietary lines of custom-formulated liquids.
I've haven't tried any of VS' non-tobacco flavors, but their tobacco blends are quite good, definitely a cut above the ordinary. Of the ones I've purchased),
Frisco is my favorite---a 555-variant made with Hazelnut.
Tampa is an excellent analog replicant much praised by Dr. and Mrs. Vapenstein.
Tennessee is sort of Frisco-lite, while
Phoenix is an English pipe tobacco, and
Texas a more standard Marlboro clone.
I don't vape them as much as I once did (early 2011), because I've moved toward the increasing number of juices made with natural tobacco extracts, but I still enjoy Frisco frequently. In the realm of synthetic tobacco flavors, VS tobacco blends are very good---clean, flavorful, well-performing liquids.
