Hey all,

With all the new local and International juices that are available to us i thought i would be interesting to talk about E-juices here and also try and find out what aspects are important to you when vaping a juice.

As a few of you know i am a massive juice junkie and i just love getting new juices or even making new juices and for me a large part of it is due to the fact that i love identifying new flavours and also love to see and try how the juice maker has gone about mixing his juices.

Some of the key points i look for when vaping a new juice are:

1) Realistic flavour concentrates used in the juice - (i.e. apple in the juice is the same as a apple you get from Woolworths or even a apple that i may have tasted in a restaurant in a popular dessert).
2) Additional flavours used to blend or even create a new flavour in the juice - (When creating or vaping complex juices you sometimes come accross a juice where the one flavour is identified on the inhale and the other is identified in the exhale or after taste. Sometimes you also get a new flavour when 2 or more of the flavours create a new one for example multiple fruits make a "passion fruit flavour".
3) One of the most important things i look for in a juice is how well the juice maker has spent time on combining all the flavours together with additional tweaks to help mix the juice and balance off all the flavours so that you get to experience the juice the way the juice maker intended it to be. A good example of this is the fruit loops flavour and ever since ANML was created by Phillip Rocke this flavour is very popular in the ejuice community and its interesting to see how you can get some juices where the juice will have more milk or cream in it and also some of them like the lemon to pop out more like AISLE7 and KILO.
4)Smoothness and throut hit are often discussed when vaping juices and depending on how you vape? (Lung hits or Mouth to Lung) you will often look for juices that will meet you expectations of juices that you already like. Nicotine also plays a key role here and what is interesting to see is how there is a much larger gap between the two styles and also with the introduction of "sub Tanks" it definitely seems like there are alot more 3mg and 6mg vapers these days. However its important to remember that there are still a large amount of new vapers on starter kits still and also the people who love to do mouth to lung hits on 12-18mg juices.


There so much more to discuss here on the above and am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this :p

Happy Friday Vaping all!!
 
same way I like my fruit juice no preservatives and just the right taste.
 
tang, sweetish, natural tones, no alcohol, short ingredient list.
 
For me it's about flavour & throat hit. I like quite a smooth hit. Prefer 3 or 6mg on sub ohm, lung hits.

Realism isn't an issue per se for me as long as it doesn't taste bad ;-)

I like slightly more complex flavours that keep me guessing, a single note can get quite boring unless it's very very good.

Over the past month or so I've been through dozens of local and international juices and experienced mostly disappointment and a couple of nice surprises.

Seems to me based on my current "test sampling" that the majority of juices are not very good and that there are a few gems that I'll probably keep going back to.

It also seems that either reviews are rigged or my tastes do not coincide with majority opinion in some cases.

I've been stunned a few times by how "bad" some popular juices seem to me, have spent a stupid amount of time and money trying to find something satisfying.

What's been great though is the discovery that there are some local products that I really like, seems there's a very active community and some skilled mixers around!

I have found the same issues with some juices i have also vaped and sometimes juices are hyped up so much that when you vape it your expectations are so high that you end up feeling dissapointed and wonder why the juice was so popular! Good luck on your vaping journey!

The atty or tank makes a big difference to me as my juice preferences run rather narrow.Most seem too sweet imo

Yeah seriously, some of this hyped stuff tastes like Brut aftershave to me (don't ask how I know what Brut tastes like)

Still looking for a good VCT, any suggestions for the vanilla, custard and tobacco magic that I still cannot find?

What device and setup you use definatly makes a big difference! You have brought up a good point! Sweetness of a juice is a interesting topic! For example i love juices that are sweet if the juice or flavour often ties into a real life product i have eaten of drunk. So if i have a cereal vape its i prefer the juice to be sweet or even a dessert type juice but if i am looking for a juice that i shouldnt get sweetness from then i know it would bug me lol. I recently purchased a new juice and was instantly looking for some sweetness and when i vaped it i immediately was unhappy when i found it to be lacking in that department. I do know that there are also some people who dont like any sweetness in there juice.

Some of these custard juices are quite terrible, again, do not understand the hype, and as for the "breakfast cereal and milk" flavours, if I must get another bottle that tastes like watered down lemos, I am going to scream!
 
I've yet to find a custard that tastes anything remotely like custard…. unless custard is made out of lentils and old socks.

Custard is a tuff one cause so many people have attempted this flavour and its so popular in the vaping industry! I feel that the Yogurt is going the same way and although i use it in my DIY i still think there so much to it and also am looking to see how future juices will be adapted to it also!

FULLY AGREE with you, I have spent a small fortune trying to find that magic CUSTARD juice, seems like when in doubt, add "lentils" or "lemos", got to a point that when looking at that famous custard you buy off the supermarket shelf, thinking "how much VG and PG and nicotine can I add to this to vape it???
 
A juice that always tastes the same for that particular flavor. Many juices I have gone through don't always taste the way I remembered them on the next order.

A good smooth throat hit for the mg that I choose (12). Some juices hit hard at 6mg and others not hard enough at 18mg. VM is always consistent.

I know everyone's taste differs, but I have tried all the local juices and a few international ones, and my best vape is always VM, always the same, no nasty surprises.

vm4 - RY4 - sweet - VM4 special edition steeped wood barrel and is less sweet.
if you like menthol try the tropical ice
berry glaze and new berry menthol are also good from what i tasted.

I'd love to find some new vapes but I get frustrated by trying some over hyped juice only to be disappointed usually, and as previously said there's an expectation of real life similarities with flavor. Plus I've seen very few if any negative reviews on line, it's always the bomb! And at the prices some of these premium juices charge I expect more.
 
lol razor atty? so when you vape it shaves you lol There goes all the vapor men beards hehehee

VM is Vapour Mountain

Thanks - I'll be checking them out.

Yes part of the plan is to help cut down on the "beard scourge" - although I realise many vapers like to let their beards get soaked in juice, makes refilling easier, no pesky bottles to carry around.

Paulie's right, as a tobacco lover ry4 is a must.
