To many people it doesn't matter if it comes in a plastic bottle with a normal dripper, for others a nice glass bottle with a dropper is a must. apart from the quality of juices, Which vendor do you think offers the most visually attractive packaging?

For example I like the overall image and packaging of Johnson's Creek and Mountain Oak Vapors for example.
Which are your favorites?

I think Halo does a mighty bang-up job on the ecig/juice front.

Overall packaging--I hate to admit it--a vendor called Safecig. Think what you want about their product, but their packaging looks like the Apple of ecigsmebann making ecigs. Very, very good packaging--too bad that's about as far as it goes, because fine packaging means nothing, generally, about the contents.

One of the most bland packages--at face value--I ever received was my ProVari, but who can question the contents?

Great packaging and contents quality , for me, would go to Halo.

I agree with you Mr. Mann, in this industry being still quite new we tend to be very forgiving about overall image and presentation in our products if they are of good quality. With the industry moving fast this will be something considered in the race of the finest vendors because without a doubt image counts!

it's like when I was comparing the packaging of an android tablet and an ipad, forget about technical specs and quality (I'm an apple guy) but without this being over the table its clear that apple has a fantastic image and that helps in any industry to raise the vale of a brand.

just my two cents

Physical packaging would matter more if we actually shopped in person. A website is, essentially, the packaging we have to go off on. Even with that, Halo is still my choice. Some sites, like TW, I think are a bit over-the-top and can get confusing. Halo also doesn't inundate you with pictures meant to make you salivate--which doesn't speak to the individuality of of the products, and those same tired images are used by countless vendors. Individuality: names, flavors, hardware, imagery plus descriptions, and actual product packaging becomes the total package.

Johnson's Creek has the best packaging I've seen. Everything about it says that what you are getting is special. If the contents are actually special, I couldn't say. I do plan to buy the sampler at some point though.

I just ordered the sampler, will let you know my thoughts

Tins-shmins and glass bottles please. We all know who really has the best packing. It's highbrow of course. Lol im just being dumb I know. But really I'm a huge fan. The label is custom printed for YOUR juice ( no pre-bottling or pre printed labels ) and it comes wrapped in I guess what I would call a tan wax paper all folded up nice and tied with some straw. Real cool and classy. No crazy bright cartoon fruit or whatever just class

I just received an order from Ahlusion and was totally impressed by their packaging.

"Virtual" packaging - Their website was very well done and the pictures associated with their juices were very appealing. I know pretty pictures isn't a good reason to order an eliquid, but spending that kind of attention to detail is a big plus.

Actual packaging - The juice comes in very nice looking cobalt blue glass bottles, each bottle with a shrink wrapped cap and THEN each bottle is encased in "shrink" bubble wrap which I had not seen before. Also enclosed were glass drippers for each bottle packaged equally well. All were then packaged in an appropriately sized cardboard box with packing peanuts. The labels for the bottles are also very well done and look sharp.

I'll give a nod to Highbrow as stated above also. The custom labels, brown wrapping paper and twine fit their motif very well, and they too have a well done website with appealing pictures.

Ahlusion and Highbrow are my two favorite vendors as having the best tasting eliquid I've tried. I don't think it's a coincidence that their websites and packaging are top notch also. In both of these companies their attention to detail shows from beginning to end.

I like halos packaging as well. Nice bottles and the incriments on the dropper are helpful for DIY.

I also
Agree with the highbrow nod. The plastic is thicker than usual. And I like that cool guy on the label. Very high brow indeed.

Quick nic also has glass dropper bottles
And hey give you a Plastic 6ml bottle to keep on the side.

I like the squishier bottles as opposed to the harder bottles, that's about it. I'm more or less indifferent to packaging, to be honest about it, and this is true for anything in my life.

frills and bows means that the expense is being passed on to me.

As long as the bottle doesn't leak and it's not nestled in a crusty article of clothing of dubious origin I'm okay with it.

I just received up a sample pack from The Plume Room. Their packaging sounds very similar to Ahlusion's. Cobalt blue glass bottles, individual pipettes, labels with born-on/expiry dating, packed and wrapped like nobody's business. With the way it was staged in the box, I was almost surprised it wasn't tinned as well. ;-) Darn good juice, too.
