I was in the same situation as you. I at one point bought there juices in a high nic mg and just cut it but found you sacrifice a lot of flavor doing so. I been ordering from vaporbomb it's really cheap and you can customize your orders(plus they have flavors of the week which only cost 10 bucks for 30ml)

I got the Flavourart liquids, VaporBomb uses them, I mix my own. Still Totally Wicked has really made a leap with the Decadent Flavors. I have tried many and also many FA one's they are both great, but DV has more special one's. The essences are at the end of the day cheaper IMHO!

I bought a platinum ice mixing kit from TW. It was ok I made the mistake of getting PEG though and it wasn't thick enough for my taste. I should of stuck with the VG. I also notice that with decadent flavors I had to use way more drops then what the mix recipe recommended.

yeahh PEG sucks big time, just get the PG. Concerning DV: 20 drops for 3 ml is the bomb!!

10 ml of concentrated liquid is $8. With that I can make 30 ml of very tasty juice. So what is expensive????

It is when you can get 20 ml from Flavourart for 4,5 Euros...less than your 8 bucks. And the concentrate from FA is way stronger than DV.

And LorAnn's is twice the price....

Double price is expensive in my book. You can buy it...but don't say it is not overpriced.

Name any product from TW and i'll point you to somewhere where it's way cheaper.

Nothing is wrong with TW besides overpricing and some real bad decisions about customer service. They are improving their manners now...but still they are miles away from other vendors.

As far as DV, they are the only ones selling it, so if i'd love DV i'd buy from them.

Now Tasty Vapor is on another planet. They have the best e-juice IMO and at a really affordable price. They ship to Netherlands yes. I have a lot of TV juice. I order a 30 ml 48 nic for $15 (or $10 if theres a flavor of the week special) and another 120 ml no nic for another $15...Now that must be one of the lowest cost per ml juice you can have.

Top juices from them are atomic cinnacide, tasty finger, bananas foster, german chocolate cake...and so on. Check their sub-forum here at ECF.

most people who are new to VB and to TV need to realize that they are both FRESH made to order.

I actually believe that is the biggest problem with the juices - because they are fresh made, it's unlikely you'll get same taste twice
I have ordered from TV about 12 flavors and only liked about 6 so I have reordered the 6 I liked - second batch was completely different from the first - even the juice color was different not to mention the flavor!

TV juices have to mature. Some are great from day one. Some need to rest (in some cases over a month). They make complex juices. Good enough my orders are always a week or 2 old by the time i get them from customs. So pretty much are just great. But when i find that a new TV juice tastes funny, i just let it sit for 2 weeks. Amazement will come.

Thats for sure. I have the tobacco flavor, and after sitting for a few weeks it has become a lot thicker... it was real watery when I got it and didn't vape well at all.

never had that problem with VB...i order apple i get the same apple, time after time...custom mix (i have one i call the mutt mix), is consistent time after time.
Making a juice fresh does not mean you will not get the same flavor time after time. Do you think that premade liquid automatically mixes itself? theres always room for human error, be it fresh made to order or buying in bulk from a supplier that premakes their juice and lets it sit.

TW juice prices are on the high side... though I do love their juice, esp the DV Range. I mainly vape Dekang / Boge and use TW juice when I want to treat myself.

TW DV juice is around £0.533 per ml (whilst on sale) whereas Dekang if ordered directly from china is £0.039 per mil working on the assumption of $60 for 1,000ml excluding shipping.

Just my $0.02

Jim.
