Which of this bewildering away of e juice companies do I buy from?

[memeticengineone]

Below is a huge list of vendors I have seen recommended here on ecig forum. I am wondering what is actually a good investment for a budget vaper such as myself. The number of options seems overwhelming and I would never be able to afford to try flavors from all of them at once.

Here are the vendors:

Mech sauce
Vape moar
T maxx no frills mls
Itc vape
Verde Valley Vapes (v3)
Vape wild
Ohms vapes
Black axis
White label juice co
Quitthatgrit
V-juice
Safari juices
Oasisvape
Bombies Predator line
Carpe diem
Ecblend
Casey Jones
Dr. Crimmy
Toro Loco Vapes
Slim's vapor
Blue dot vapes
Mad town vapor
Charlie Noble

Budget-wise, Vapewild or mtbakervapor. Both have good pricing and good reputations. I have never used the others on the list.

@memeticengineone - When you're new, you buy too much liquid. It's what you do.

I've tried several on your list, being budget-minded myself. Some of them are getting old on my shelf, not because they're bad, but by virtue of the number of bottles I've accumulated by trying new things.

I recommend starting with a sample from one, then ordering the next one's sampler when you're about halfway through the first. You can start cheaply with Vape Wild, but their selection is pretty dizzying all by itself. Maybe sort their A-Z list by Bestsellers.

Ohm's, Black Axis, Crimmy and Slim's all tasted very good to me. So did MadTown, but their base flavor level is pretty light, so you may want to add a single booster (and don't forget to ask for the free sample if your purchase qualifies).

from your list I really liked Casey Jones renegade, gold rush, pink rabbit and bomb ....and thought the froot loop and peach custard from Black axis were unvapable

Out of these I have only tried EC Blend, they stocked it at Mellow Mood in Portland Oregon for $6/15ml and I bought it and their 100% VG grape and cherry flavors were some of the cleanest juice I have ever vaped. They didn't know anything about vaping nicotine at that head shop, and I swear I burnt out a couple coils too soon on that 100% VG juice. Now I tend to find 70% VG/30% PG the best mix though I would like to experiment.

I need something super cheap though because I just bought my first sub ohm tank, the horizon Arctic, and I have heard it really eats juice, and j don't have much money right now. have heard mount baker vapor is ok, and they are only an hour and a half drive from where I am (plus a trip on the ferry, I live on a little hick-... island in Washington state) so shipping would be a breeze. I have been very cautious about ordering from them though because I have heard so many bad reviews of their juice. It could be that nobody who didn't like it steeped it at all because I have heard they take a month to mellow out, but who wants to wait that long to satisfy a nicotine craving?

I just ordered the Vapemoar sampler because I saw that they give $3 in store credit for every review of their juice you post, so even if I hate 9 out of the 10 flavors they have I can still get a 120ml bottle of the one I like. I like that each Some say Vapemoar needs a lot of steeping though. It's really hard to know what to buy when everyone's taste is so subjective. I have heard great things about mech sauce and blue dot and ohm vapes and if I don't hear anything bad about them they will be the next ones I try.

Thanks for the recommendations. I should definitely try something from those brands even if I can't swing their whole samplers.

If you can get to a vape shop to sample some flavors it may save you quite a bit of time and money. Everybody's tastes are different. Good luck!

I am 10 miles away from the mainland on a little island in Washington State, the nearest vape shop worth a damn, mount baker vapor, is a 45 minute ferry ride away plus an hour and a half by car, and I don't own a car. I order my ish online and bike to the only two grocery stores on the island which are both as costly as whole foods because they have quite a racket going being the only grocers on that island. The bigger grocery store is the only place to get ejuice on island and they only have "seven crowns' e liquid for $8/10ml. When I lived in Portland Oregon it was almost a vaper's paradise, I could get Ecblends for $6/12mg in 100%vg in a few different flavors, and there was one store that had Virgin Vapors for $7.50 for 15ml of 12% nicotine 100% organic VG Romancing the Strawberry flavor juice because the owner didn't like it. I bought two bottles of it because it was
so damn good.

Have tried itc vapes and mech sauce. ITC vapes had very simple, plain, weak flavors in my opinion. Mech sauce is okay but not very rich or very complex either. I have tried a couple of their flavors that have strawberry in them and I really thought the strawberry was pretty awful, has tasted like straight christmas pine to me at times, very strange. I am waiting on an order from them of flavors without the strawberry flavor. Also waiting on a sample pack from charlie noble. I am just finding vendors that have a good reputation and ordering sample packs or a handful of smaller bottles. blends by bryce is one worth checking out I think, runs about $0.50/ml for 30ml, and I like their banana creme pudding flavor a lot. Fairly rich and flavorful. It is the only flavor by them I have tried. Also there is a brand called SK that sells wholesale that has fruit flavors that I absolutely love, really powerful, delicious, juicy flavors. However, when I try to find them for retail I am only finding a wholesale site.

Of those one you list, I have bought from 3.

ITCvapes have fantastic strawberry flavors are offer a small menu of dessert flavors. While I enjoyed their flavors, I hated what the liquids did to my coils. High gunk factor.

I then moved onto DielselbyCG who had a wider selection and the liquids were much cleaner on the coils. Then they raised their prices, and I went in search of budget sanity.

Ohm's Vapes offers a wider selection of budget friendly liquids that burn fairly clean and have become my go-to #1 budget vendor. I've enjoyed 95% of the flavors I've tried (and I've tried a fair share), and keep going back for more. Lots of sales (follow their Facebook page), and fast shipping.

Verde Valley Vapes came to my attention for my dripper needs, since I usually do 18mg in RTAs, but V3 only offer up to 12mg. And they offer the smallest menu I have seen to date, but flavors that I missed from leaving DieselbyCG (Strawberry Milk and Blueberry Custard). At the time, they were doing daily sales, and I tried took the plunge... and they were actually good. After getting burned by another super low cost vendor (Nitro Vapes, anyone?), I was amazed by the quality ingredients Verde Valley Vapes used at rock bottom prices -- plus free 100ml bottles. Some are a bit light in flavor, but they now offer flavor boosting for certain flavors. Clean burning, quality liquids at fire sale prices.

Currently Ohm's Vapes and Verde Valley are my only vendors of choice. I have been tempted to try Tmaxx No frills mills or Veteran's Vaping Supply, but haven't made it yet since I am more than pleased with the performance, flavors and service of the 2 that I use.

I've got a few favorites that I routinely order from MBV. They ARE light on flavor, so I always order 2 flavor shots. And, you must steep them; they taste awful, IMHO, FOOB. I ordered about 6 different juices from Mech Sauce, and they have a strange playdoh taste to me! I've steeped them for months to no avail. Maybe it's my taster, but I haven't gotten anything from them that I'll even vape, much less reorder. ITC vapes juices were "ok", but they tended to irritate my lungs. All in all, the best budget juices I've found have come from MBV. YMMV, tho.

 

[vgjohnson]

Have tried quite a few on your list and V3 and Slims are outstanding .

 

[inspects]

I've tried just about all the companies on your list. After I found Nude Nicotine premixed juice I wouldn't vape anything else. Good prices for the quality of the juice.

eLiquids - Nude Nicotine

 

[memeticengineone]

I will definitely be grabbing something from nude nicotine when I have a bigger juice budget

As far as Mt. Baker Vapor goes, if you do decide to try them, it is better to try a little bit of each flavor as soon as you get them. For my daughter and me, some of their flavors are good straight out of the mailbox, whereas others benefit from steeping for varying lengths of time. My daughter loves their Hawk Sauce straight out of the mailbox, whereas other fans recommend steeping.

We have tried and reordered various flavors from Mech Sauce and Vape Wild, and really enjoyed them. We recently placed our first order with Ohm's Vapes, and enjoyed most of the eliquids that we got in our sampler packs (I order for myself and my daughter, so different flavors in 2 sampler packs).

I am working on my first small order from Black Axis (my daughter vapes 18 mg nicotine, and they only go up to 12 mg, so just ordered for myself). I really enjoyed the Key Lime Suga Cookie, and am currently vaping the Cinnilla Bun Shake, and would reorder both.

We ordered several times from ITC and enjoyed what we got, but have not ordered from them recently.

When we first started vaping, we did not know about other vendors, and had not discovered the resources here on ECF. We were ordering exclusively from VaporBomb. Not the lowest priced vendor out there, but not premium pricing, either. Most of the flavors that we got from them were vapeable for us straight out of the mailbox. We were on a strict budget (still are), and I tried to order a month's supply of eliquid for each of us at a time, so as soon as the order hit our mailbox we were scrambling to get the eliquid out and fill up. We have not ordered from them since I found Mt. Baker Vapor with lower pricing, but pricing is the only reason that we are not still using them.

Good luck, and have fun.

Out of the list given, these are the ones I've tried and returned for more.
Black Axis
Slim's E-juice
Vape Wild
Mitten Vapors
And I'll be trying No Frills next.
I'm getting more into DIY, but now and then, I like to treat myself. Like going out to dinner.

 

[sincerelysasquatch]

My Charlie Noble sample box came today. Vaping Tripoli and if this is a good idea of the quality of their other liquids this company is an excellent buy. It is rich but not overly-sweet. Subtle but not bland. Really delicious.

 

[snkrumble]

Tempted to give slims a try myself and ohms. I order a lot of mech sauce love the strawberry stuff muffin face but anything else they make I have not been a fan of I need some good vanilla flavors.

Since you are looking to taste new juices on a regular basis, have you tried a subscription box?
This will allow you to get your dose of juices and hone in on the flavors you like the most by selecting or crossing out those that you don't like.

Taste is subjective and juices may that may appeal to you may be disgusting for others.

I would totally get a subscription box if I had that kind of income to spend on e juice.
