Wasted $$$$$$

So far I have only managed to buy 10 mls of unvapeable juice: Red Bull. A few other things that I have not been crazy about or that haven't been used up because I dropped my nicotine level, but it all gets mixed down with other flavours into something I can easily vape.
all the juices I didn't like I PIFed and I consider it part of the learning curve discovering what flavors I enjoy vaping.
not wasted IMHO!

So far, I've done pretty well.
I've gotten two juices I wanted NOTHING to do with, but they were free samples, and I passed them on to family member who vapes.
I bought ONE 15ml bottle of a flavor I didn't like, and that was a whopping $5.50. This also got passed onto the same family member.
I have two bottles of juice that I liked, but after sitting for a couple of weeks, the flavor got too strong for me. My fiance took those off my hands.
Lastly, we have a handful of tiny bottles from Halo neither of us liked - they were part of the sample packs we bought with our initial kits. Those, sadly, are still sitting around.
At this point, I've wasted more money on hardware that didn't work well than I have on unvapeable juice.

I bought 4 or 5 10ml bottles from a vendor I'll not name and not one of them was remotely vapable.
Other than that, bar the 10ml bottle of Virginia Tobacco from OVALE which is 50vg/50pg and tastes damned good but will not be tolerated by an ego-c atty for some reason (it's very dark) which I got free with my ego-c kit, I've not struck out.
So far I like Dekang for a good workaday and affordable vape with true flavors and Janty for their menthol and RY5 which both kick ....! Kinda expensive though, Janty.

long time ago i bought 400ml of mixed eliquids from *bignamebrand* and only my toilet liked them. It was my fault, only a matter of noobish behaviour which helped me to be VERY careful buying random liquids only by reading their description 
Since after over a year, I'm officially "in the black", I don't consider a bit of it wasted. Besides, I'm just stubborn enough to vape it anyway.
When I first started vaping, I went to the flea market and saw a vendor selling DeKang. He was getting out of that juice and was liquidating his product. I bought 25 bottles for $35. Great price considering they are $5 each at a smoke shop. The only one that I felt I was unable to vape was 'Energy Cow' (red bull). I'm not a energy drink fan anyway and thought this was disgusting. This is the only bottle I threw away. There are plenty of other DeKang juices that I don't like but I can mask the flavor with Menthol Burst or something like that. I get most of my juice now from Volcano and MBV. I still use some of the DeKang to try and get rid of it but I will not purchase it again except for a few select flavors.
My first China order was for ejuice and that taught me to NOT buy ejuice from china except from the big name brands... Other than that, and a half dozen from US distributors that I won't name, I've had pretty good luck... But, then again, I got in to DIY early on and haven't looked back since...
I am going to hit up the local flea market to look for $5 bottles this weekend. Really I am going to go because I have to have this "Energy Cow!" Too funny, it's not RedBull but "Energy Cow." Gotta love the Chinese.
Only thing I have purchased so far that I just cannot make myself vape is a 10ml bottle of Fuzions Everlast. I love every other juice I have purchased from them but this one just didnt do it for me. I am going to give it away.
I've actually never wasted a dime on juice. I have gotten some juice i did not like, but i simply give it away to new vapers or friends. So in effect the juice is never wasted.
I am not sure how much unvapable stuff I have bought but there has been some. I have made myself vape some of it, some I have diluted into other liquids, some I have thrown out.
Honestly what has cost me more is hardware that I ended up not liking
Most of the stuff that is recommended by a lot of people I have replaced with something different.

I like MBV for he most part. I got a sample of white tea I didn't like, and a mix I had them create. Yuck. The other stuff I got from them was fantastic! So far only a few I hate. One I got tired of and found I prefer fruitier flavors. Good luck all!
It's not so much the money but the anticipation of my HHV order that made me disappointed. I ordered all the flavors everyone loves and waited even 1 month later and they all suck, IMO.
PIF Pay it Forward.......you can pick up a "lot" of stuff you can use, then leave behind what you have to give.
I spent about $20 on Dekang, which I regret. It's a little too strong for me and gives me a headache...some of the flavors are not bad but cutting them with VG really knocks the edge off the flavor. I first ordered from ELiquidPlanet, which I don't see mentioned much here and have liked most everything but Havana. I got a few samples I didn't like, but they were free. Going to do a PIF thread at some point. Honestly, unless I find a good B&M I will probably stick with ELP (not a paid endorsement).
