Started with tobacco flavors as I was a 30 yr smoker till early December, discovered fruit tobaccos through a local boutique, vermillion river, loved!! the kentucky [tobacco] banana blend (who would've guessed?). Now I'm mixing two parts straight tobacco juice to one part fruit and found it, for now. I switch 'em up daily, but that's the basic formula. Also licorice tobacco and absinthe tobacco. Still trying bunches of others though. I think MBV fruits are real good, and the price is right, so am using them in the mix. I liked both bobas and gorilla juice right out of the gate w/out steeping (just got em). Trying to be smart and ordering only the best reviewed, to figure all the craziness out. Its bottomless.

I am fairly new to vaping as well. I have found my go to juice to be Watermelon from Mt Baker Vapor (80%VG/20%PG). There are still tons of websites I need to get around to trying, but for a newbie I think MBV is good because the juice is customizable and is fairly cheap. Thing of it is I have tried almost all of the highest rated juices from MBV and some were ok and some I straight up didn't like. It just goes to show how different peoples tastes are and that you have to find what is most enjoyable for you. For now I'll stick with my watermelon and try new juices here and there, but I know I always have the watermelon if I don't like a new juice. I know there is a juice out there I will enjoy more than the watermelon, I just haven't found it yet. It can be frustrating trying to find a juice that you really enjoy, but just keep trying them and you'll figure out what you like.

Yes, I finally found out the one I liked so much is made by Hangsen (I think anyway). It's Lizard Juice Outlaw Road. I would love to find that with more flavor! I ordered a concentrate of Desert Ship, but I'm not sure that's it. Hangsen has many tobaccos that are described as light tobacco & slightly sweet.

I believe that would be highway or USA mix from hangsen. The desert ship is a camel cigarette type blend its also in my adv' rotation. You can easily find 30ml pre-mades for 8-12.00. And the good thing is when you find one you like, pick up the concentrated mix it at 3-7% wala replication done.A lot of these company's make up all these names and their using a basic hangsen (or others). If your doing diy you said you bought the desert ship concentrate? You'll want to mix that at 5-7% and let it steep at least a week. 200ml made up for 6.00 of concentrate; diy. one flavor ingredient makes it real easy to replicate.

There is a hangsen thread in the diy forums.

When I started vaping back in 2011 I quickly switched to DYI juice as I wanted to try many flavors and generally juice is pretty expensive. Maybe not compared to cigs but far more expensive than making juice. I like RTSvapes for NIC, PG, VG, and flavors. Also ecigexpress for flavors. Used flavourart exclusively until recently been I've been trying The Flavor Apprentice. Savings depends on how much you bulk up on supplies. I get the 1000ML 60mg NIC , 1000ML PG/VG, 30+ML flavors. Not sure exactly on the math but prob under a $1 for 30ML 12mg of juice mixed. Trade off is a bit of time investment for $ savings but you do get to try many flavors on the cheap.

Fruit flavors have been my main ADV but have been really enjoying TFA banana nut bread as a ADV recently. I'll switch it up to a tobacco or coffee flavor sometimes but usually go back to a lighter flavor the following day. Hope that helps! Vape on.

My current fav ADV's are:

1) Captain Blacks Cinfull Delight
2) Virginia Extreme Fired Tobacco
3) Miss American Apple Pie
4) Hypnotic Mary

I went through the same process of most, trying to find the preferred VG/PG ratio's and nic levels. Bought mainly from Alien Vapor and Mt Baker Vapor. Went up and down the Scale of VG/PG ratios till finding I preferred high VG. Find high PG to harsh. Finally got tired of the Juice Roulette game and waiting for vape mail, so jumped into DIY juice, and haven't bought pre mixed juice in many, many months. I currently mix at 70% VG, 12 mg nic, 9-13% flavor, depending on the recipe. I typically mix batches of 100-200 ml at a time now. Have a couple other ADV's that I like, but are out of rotation, and I still have like 9 flavor extracts that I haven't tried yet.

I mix my own, build my own, vape my own, what's a guy to do, when vaping, is in all the News. lmao

Vape long and Prosper.

I'm glad to keep hearing good things about the MBV fruits since I have several of them on the way! I asked for Bananas Foster for my sample. I will be so relieved when I find my one I can can go back to. I have samples of Boba's and Gorilla on the way too.

Thanks for all the info! I will look into those 2 flavors and the thread as well. Hangsen has a crazy amount of tobacco flavors! I would love for what I liked best to be that cheap too:)

My current ADV are Hawk Sauce (+2 flavor shots) and Extreme Ice, both are by Mt. Baker Vapor. They take about two weeks to a month to reach perfection, but both are good from the start. I am a mentol and fruit fan and the Hawk Sauce is a mash up of both, plus the $5.99 for 15 ml I cannot beat. I am now ordering it by the 50 ml for $12. There flavors do require steeping to make them smoother, but overall it is the best I have found.

I have some Hawk Sauce I've had around 2 weeks. I think I would like it without the menthol. Also, it was my first order and not knowing better I ordered 4 flavor shots.

My tastebuds are still recovering from years of smoking cigarettes and my flavor preferences keep changing as a result. I have a drawer dedicated to juice (samples) that I keep digging through and cycling. Given steeping time and changing taste buds I've found liquid I didn't like before has been very satisfying. Give it time and start your search with Nicoticket. The flavors are great without being overbearing. Subtle enough to be ADV material without getting boring.

My local B&M has a wonderful tobacco flavor that I could vape all day every day. But the price is ridiculous so that wont work. I get my juice from Mt Baker and try lots of new ones. I found that I love the butterscotch and I do vape it all day. It's one of my favorites by far. I only do 50/50 on the pg vg. that's what seems best for me no matter what flavor I go with. But I'm always looking for my next ADV.

Thanks, I'm bookmarking all of these! Creme Brûlée sounds good. I have liked a sweet tobacco (but it's only sold in 100% PG & expensive) and Mt. Baker Blue Moo best so far.

I've gravitated more towards the chocolatey/desserty/nutty vapes, but for sweet tobacco, VaporChef has a Honey Nut tobacco that's quite nice, their prices are pretty middle-of-the-road, and they offer 5 different PG/VG ratios (Max PG, Max VG, 70/30, 30/70, and 50/50).

I love love looove vapor chef. Ive ordered maybe a dozen flavors and didnt try one that I didnt like. My ADV was his honey pearry but ran out and had to visit a local b&m. They carried Vermillion River's melon burst which was equally as good so Ive been using that for the last 2 days until I can place an online order thru the chef. The hobbes blood, pina guavada and unicorn poop are all amazing!
