My first review!

I'm going to review the three different brands of juice I've tried (not counting the PG juice that came with my e-cig). I'm on a mission to try every VG juice on the market -- this is my journey so far, in the order I tried them!

Gear: 510 from Eastmall
Carts: original polyfill with the straw mod

First up is Johnsons Creek Tennessee Cured in Low (11mg). Comes in dark glass bottles with childproof caps. I was happy to get this juice because at least I could vape it without feeling cruddy! It's way better than PG juice, if you have issues with PG! Unfortunately that is the only good thing I can say about it. Vapor: meh. Taste: yuck.

Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice - The Best E-Liquid in the World - Made Right Here in America

Next, I tried Ecopure's Rich and Regular, both in Low (8mg). Comes in cheapo white plastic bottles with childproof caps, but I like that they include a little plastic syringe with each bottle. It's perfect for refilling the handy little on-the-go squeezy bottles I got from Johnsons Creek :D Vapor: Loads! Taste: reminds me of handrolled analogs. Not much like my ex-BFF Marlboro Ultra Light, but definitely tobacco-y. I prefer the Rich to the Regular, it's got more taste. And it grows on you! If Ecopure Rich was the only juice in the world, I could happily vape this forever. Also, it's very reassuring that it's 99.whatever percent pure and manufactured in the UK.

Electronic Cigarettes, Electric Cigarette, E-Cigarettes, E-Cig, E-Liquid

At first I thought that as a VG vaper, I was shut out of the world of interestingly flavored juices. I saw one site -- can't remember which one -- that had e.g. Banana and Coca-Cola, but I was just like ew, how uninspiring. Then I found Decadent Vapours, a little UK manufacturer that has a mouthwatering menu of VG flavors. I ordered Tiramisu, White Chocolate, Cognac, and Sour Cherry, all in Low (8mg). These juices come in attractive dark green bottles with individually designed labels for each flavor. Eyedroppers included, but you don't need them, since the clever design of the bottle means you just have to turn it upside-down to drip. Vapor: Enough, not as much as Ecopure. Taste: WOW! These juices are so delicious and taste so much like the real thing that at first, I was startled after every drag to realize I had nothing in my mouth :lol: It's kind of scary how good these flavors are :w00t: All manufactured in the UK with ingredients sourced within the EU.

Decadent Vapours for Discerning Vapers

In conclusion, Ecopure produces clouds of vapor and tastes like cigarettes only better -- it's a great everyday vape. Decadent Vapours are perfect for when you want to change it up with an interesting flavor. I recommend both highly.

Oh, and both Intellicig and DV have great customer service. They answered my newbie-type emails promptly and courteously, and shipped my orders within a reasonable timeframe, in very discreet packaging :evil:

Hope you enjoyed this review! Vape on!

Thanks for the review. I agree Johnson Creek is "Yuck":cry:. I know there a few here who say they like it, but for the life of me I don't get it! I gave away the sample pack I ordered to my cousin. Maybe he will like it... :oops: I hate to see it go to waste.

Ecopure and Decandent Vapours sound like I may like their liquid. Will try them out. I have only been vaping a few months and am still trying to find the perfect vape.

Hmm. Interesting. Big fan of Decedent Vapors. Wondering what ecoPure is similar to the BWB malty. I actaully really like the intelliCIG bottle. It has a cool dripper like the tasty vapor bottles.

Malty is like a candied version of EcoPure Rich but without EcoPure base, of course. They both contain ethyl maltol..
I sometimes like to alternate between the two.

But when I have a craving, EcoPure Rich delivers like nothing else.

Nice thanks. So EcoPure Rich is the one? Not the plain. Saved me bigtime. Ever try the plain? Does EcoPure have something like Malty Toffee?

i've only tried Rich.

I think people who like EcoPure Rich are more likely to appreciate Malty.. than Malty fans liking EcoPure. But hey, i could be wrong ;)

EcoPure's VG base is supposedly exceptional. I think there are a few vendors spending a little bit more to use this base in their juices. I have yet to try them.

About your last question about Ecopure having something like malty toffee.. I am curious.
I do recall reading about an English toffee made with Ecopure base.. but I couldn't find it on Intellicig-USA..
Maybe there is a connection between Malty Toffee and this English Toffee EcoPure.
I'll reply if i find any leads.

i don't think cignot has sales..

Malty and Rich juices are not peers.. Vaguely similar flavors, totally different vaping experiences.

Anyhow, these are only my opinions. And my opinions change as do many of my tastes.
Ultimately you'll have to set me straight ;) and keep us posted.

Okay I will. Planning on doing a comparison of malty with ecoPure rich and with the toffee you pointed out with malty toffee when I get them. I hear great things from Vapenstien and others I respect. But who knows. Everyones tastes are different to a degree. I hope there stuff is not dry like the ECOpure mentol I have. I sent cignot a email wonder if there stuff comes in the cool bottles intelliCIG sells their stuff in. Hopefully I will hear back and order it soon. Thanks so much for all your help.

Rich is dry.
At least I consider it to be on the dryer side of the continuum.

is 25mg too high for you?

Yikes how dry? It is strange but malty toffe is not dry to me at all. My Ecopure Mentol is 25 mg I vape it on occasion. I like to chain vape so for that I usually use a lower mg so I was looking at 10. Strange they don't sell 15mg :( Cignot sent me a email back that answered none of my questions :( Looks like a mistake. Hopefully they will send another one soon. Having 2nd thoughts about it because they are dry. Have a good one and thanks for warning me.

Not the driest I've had.. but enough so that it reminds me of a drag from a cigarette. I don't know how to quantify dryness any better. I like Rich for how it feels to inhale/exhale and the vapor's texture.. (if that makes ANY sense)... The flavor is secondary, but probably contributes to this perceived texture. I think ethyl maltol is what provides that carbonation sensation.. I get it a little of that with M and MT too.

You know, I wonder if ethyl maltol could be used to "carbonate" soda pop flavored juices.

I'll pm you when I get the my order from cignot. :)

I know I read somewhere (and of course now I can't find it - and it's not easy to search for) that there was a company (not one of the ones listed so far) that specialized in VG. Anyone know of any such companies?

The JC VG juices I thought were "good" overall. A little different type of flavor to them. The Mercado I had to get more of. The Wisconsin Frost was "meh" ... boring. The Swiss Dark was also a bit dull and was also very dark, so I was wary of what I put that in (I watch for any sort of sediments in my juice and the Mercado had some too). The Valencia was citrus-y but kind of like a grapefruit that's not ripe or something. The tobacco flavors were good (Tennessee and Domestic). I probably liked the Tennessee better. They also seemed oddly thin for VG only. I wonder if the citric acid helps with that, or if they just include it as a preservative/flavoring.

Are you thinking of Clouds Of Vapor or is it something else?
