Need some opinions on which people find better. Vapor station liquids or tasty vapor. The reason is I'm new to vaping and looking to place my first order. Price wise their pretty close and VS offers a nice size sampler pack. So basicly need opinions as to which you guys think is better.

I think there are fans of both. It's all in what you want. I have not ordered from Vapor Station but I have ordered from Tasty Vapor. The only negative I would say is that TV only sells big bottles, so if you order something and you don't like it your stuck. However - the TV forum has a swap thread, so you could trade something you don't like for something else. I ordered from TV becuse they had such great reviews and I've gotten lucky so far - all the flavors I've ordered I've liked.

I would have to vote for Vapor Station merely because of the ability to get sample sizes. It gives you an opportunity to try tobacco, fruity, and sweet flavors without committing to a big bottle. I'm with the above poster; the only tobacco flavor I have found I liked was from Vapor Station. If after you've tried a variety of flavors and know what type of flavors you actually enjoy vaping (rather than think you'll enjoy), then you can more confidently get the bigger bottle from Tasty Vapor.

I love all of the TV's juices I've tried, but haven't tried VS's yet, although I did send a friend of mine there for a $50 Riva special and some Halo Freedom juice. She said the delivery was very quick.

Now, if it's the highest quality you want, you might want to consider the DIY route. Just buy USP-grade PG, USP-grade VG, your strength of unflavored juice, and a few bottles of flavoring. That way if you buy a juice you don't relish much, you can "fix" it.;) And that includes sweeting it up, or souring it down a little, adding creaminess, or even adding menthol if that floats your boat. If you wish to try this, below are a couple of links to get you started.

Hope you find what you're looking for, as it was just a trial-and-error process for a lot of us. Others found what they were looking for right off the bat. And still others (like me) are quite picky, so went the DIY route.

    I guess what I'm asking is quality wise I've heard TV to be simply amazing so does VS have the same quality juices? Vapor production? Throat hit? and what ratio of pg/vg are they selling?

    I would put them both at the same quality level; that is, both are making excellent quality, premium juices, which cannot be said for around 80% of the suppliers I have bought from. Vapor production for vsvapor is excellent, throat hit really good, and I believe I have read that they use a 3 parts pg to 2 parts vg blend. With some of the vsvapor tobaccos I have experimented by adding a very small amount of pga and vg and this does improve both vapor production and throat hit. I would also highly recommend the sampler pack at vsvapor, its a great deal for 10 different flavors. On the tobacco side, try tampa, texas and tennessee--those are my favorites and the ones that seem closest to replicating an analog.

    I would also recommend avejuice to you. Boba's Bounty is my go to vape. Anyways, good luck and report back with your findings.

    I don’t think you’d go too far wrong with any of the popular juice suppliers. Everyone seems to have their favorites and preferences, but I suspect that has as much to do with their individual tastes as with the actual juice. I think we’re all that way, and I freely admit I’ve only started my personal quest for the perfect juice.

    So far I’ve tried 3 suppliers.

    My first juices were Chinese. I ordered them with my first PV because I wanted to get everything from one supplier. I’d read everyone’s advice that the tobacco flavors don’t taste like real cigarettes, but the vendor only offered sample packs in categories (fruit, tobacco, etc.) Knowing my tastes, I figured tobacco was probably the best bet. The vendor also threw in a free bottle of blueberry. I wasn’t crazy about any of them, and discovered I wasn’t a tobacco fan, at least not their tobacco.

    I didn’t finish any of these e-liquids and quickly made my second juice order from Viking Vapor. Their juice was a huge improvement over the Chinese and I plan to order from them again in the future. A lot of my impressions of their juice changed as I learned to use my PV, moving from regular carts to the blue foam mod. Initially, a lot of the flavors seemed weak, but after changing to blue foam I realized the atty just wasn’t staying wet enough, a hardware issue and not a juice problem. Eventually, I bought a Buzz, increased my voltage and started dripping. Between the hardware and my changing taste buds some of the juices that were initial great became only good, and vice versa. I also found flavors I didn’t like at all. My personal favorites include blackberry, vanilla and chocolate hazelnut. The ones I didn’t care for I’d classify as overpowering and include cinnamon and mint. Other folks, of course, love these flavors.

    My third order was from Tasty Vapor. I’m just finishing that now. They make a quality juice and I plan to order from them again in the future. Of the four flavors I ordered I really like their banana cream pie, though for me, it’s not an all day vape. I don’t like the Peach Melba. It tastes very bitter to me. I don’t like the spiced apple cider, the clove is mouth numbingly overpowering. Mixed together, however, they taste pretty darn good. I’d order the cider again, but with about a third the usual clove flavoring. The last flavor, mojito, is ok, not overpowering, but it just isn’t something I really want to vape a lot. Mint may just not be one a flavor I like to vape. All these juices are well made and they all probably have avid fans.

    The veterans are either rolling their eyes or rolling on the floor laughing. I’ve taken a whole lot of time trying to make one simple point they put in posts over and over again. Everyone’s tastes are different. When you ask who is better, TV or VS you’ll get votes for both. I don’t think you’ll know which one you like better until you try them. You may even like them both. As far as their PG/VG ratio, TV lets you specify VG percent to a point. The amount is limited depending on the nic level. I don't know about VS.

    Just ordered a sampler from VS. That way I can get a general idea of the flavors I would be interested in. After I dial in my tastes then I can check out some of geoffs products. Since he sells such large sizes I figure I'm better off getting a plethora of flavors before diving into a larger bottle of something I would only be guessing that I like.

    Not sure if I am understanding what you mean. With TV, easiest way is to order 48mg in the flavor you want plus a doubler in the same flavor. You can then cut it to whatever nic level without losing any flavor. For example, I use 12mg of nic so I put 1/4 of the 48mg liquid in a smaller bottle and add 3/4 of the doubler in same flavor.

    If assume you are referring to using the doubler and adding the nicotine base. Yes, that will cut flavor if you put 3/4 of plain pg/vg nic in and 1/4 doubler. Only way this works for me is to add flavor drops to the mix just like all DIY projects.

    Way cheaper and better to use both TV products imo.

    Ms. T's Bakery, one of the ECF suppliers, is highly recommened too. She has a huge following and only does liquids. I've had hers, TV and been doing some DIY with Perfumers Apprentice. You can DIY with TV doublers but not much above 12mg nic or you lose too much flavor.

    :)

    Yes, you use the doubler as a base and add your own nic. You don't use as much nic as you are saying though so it's not diluted that much.

    For example, to make 10ml of liquid you'd add 1.2ml of 100mg nic and 8.8ml of doubler so the ratio is almost 9 to 1. You can check the DIY forum and see where others do that too and that's where I heard about it. Again, if you go above about 12mg then you do lose flavor. I am using Scubabatdan's calculator to figure it. I have five doublers I do that with.

    If you think about it that is what TV does anyway. He takes the flavor and PG/VG (doubler) and adds the nic to it. You just aren't paying for his nic and for him to mix it.

    :)
