My reviews for that particular brand have their own thread
A bit off topic but the reason I tried LiQuid was a point of principle, the cost of some of the "premium" juices is obscene, in fact I am of the opinion that the word premium when applied to e cig juices is a contradiction in terms seeing as all that the higher priced vendors do is mix what someone else has produced and the only way "premium" could correctly be applied is to the selling price, or maybe to some of the whimsical flavour profile descriptions. If the raw materials certification and production facilities on the LiQuid site are to believed they would seem to rival any that I have read from other more expensive producers, and some of their juices in my opinion are much more palatable than some costing 5 times as much
As you may have guessed I find the whole pretense surrounding some e juices a joke

I totally agree Vince. We all know the cost of vg,pg,nicotine and water the main ingredients. And we also know the average cost of the flavouring. So why such a big price diffence in the end product. Manufacturing prices can't vary that much nor can the bottles or the printer to make labels. So that only leaves the guy that invents the flavours I suppose the "chef" . But as you say they are all copying each other's to some extant.
Some of the cheap hangsen i have bought off FastTech are in my favourites list and they are about 87p for 10ml delivered all the way from China.
Maybe everyone should write a letter of complaint to the premium sellers and maybe start boycotting them.

I like that. God but I hate juice titles and descriptions that seem to be completely fanciful.
Is there a link for these liquids and your reviews?
I was looking at one of the high end UK producers last night and their prices.
30ml of juice in a plastic bottle was £3 cheaper than the same in glass.
I think that's taking the "p" to charge 3 quid for a 25p bottle.
If you went up to 100 ml it was an extra £6.

This is a link to my personal simplified reviews and spreadsheet.

Or have a look at this and maybe put your top 3 up.

I'm entirely DIY these days though I do have a whole bunch of bottles that have been sitting unused for 6 months or more. They're mostly not very good stuff (they're the reason I started DIYing in the first place) and I'm really not sure I want to go back and revisit them.
Well if you want to part with your unused stock I'm sure willing to give them a try and you DIY if want to part with any. I'll even pay the postage lol.
I've just been going through them and removing the tops and smelling them. Some of them definitely smell better than I remember them tasting. There's a Dekang cocoa that smells very moreish that I didn't like before. Also a Hangsen Golden Vi that's smells intriguing. It seems the long steep may have improved them. Hmmm. I'm going to have to clean out an old Evod and give them a try. If I still don't get on with them I may well pass them along.
The guy who invents the flavour will work for a flavour house Dave not an e juice vendor, when I was making my own carp fishing bait i used many of the flavours now used in e juices, the difference was I paid about 7 quid for 150ml
The way that prices for vaping hardware are falling must surely soon filter through to the e juice market, and I will be glad when that particular gravy train rolls out of town
Isn't it funny that some people will take a chance on unproven electronics to save a few bob, but will then pay over the odds for juices in glass? Crazy
There will always be some crazy folk out there to cheer us up and give us something to laugh at.
I agree with everything.
I've been vaping £1 liquid solidly now for 3 weeks (I think that's right). Perfectly acceptable, once you weed out the few disappointments (flavours you don't like), which you are going to find in every range.
I used to vape a lot of LT e-cigs - Lime, Lemon and Lime, Lemon Mix, that sort of thing. Plus, Caramel Deluxe. £5.40 for 30ml.
ecigwizard charge that for one bottle of their Mrs B's range.

I haven't tried the full range but the ones i have tried seam good and for the price i think LiQuid is very good.
While going through a tight spell I don't mind trying cheaper juice. But this comes with some good reviews.
Let's get down and dirty, cheap but not nasty ( I hope ).

Its really easier to just make your own. At least I can put in the flavorings I know I like.
If done my first pre mix trial today. I have lots of information lined up like recipes and what stock I need just haven't had the gonads to do it yet.
Back to my first pre trial. I don't mind trying different juices but the wife has started vaping I don't want to hear her saying this is bad that's bad and not understanding what she wants. So I did what a wanted to do for some time and made a dripper up with just some pure vg bought from the chemist. To my surprise and hers it was very good, nice vapour with a very slight sweet taste. I know without the nic the craving will still be there a bit but I now feel confident to go buy some nic and a few flavours, oh and some water to thin the vg a touch. Plus if I buy my nic and flavouring in pg format I won't have to dilute as much with water and I won't be vaping 100% vg.
Sorry for rabbiting on but this helps me get things straight in my head before I do them.

Nothing wrong with rabbiting on. The great thing about DIY is if you've made something you like it feels great and there's a big feeling of accomplishment. And even if it tastes terrible you've learned something so it's not a wasted experience.
