To be honest vaping is no different from anything else in life - you get what you pay for. If someone is banging out juice for a couple of quid there's a very good chance they have either skimped on the percentage of flavouring or used a cheap and nasty flavour ingredient. There are exceptions - some vendors offer a limited-time reduction on decent juice but they're in the minority Yeah it was the limited offers i took up. I NEVER order anything from anywhere wre prices are always cheap!

I would rather pay a little more for something decent

In fairness to vendors and my comment, there have only been a couple wrong'uns I've tried that fit Oneday's description. Once you do try mixing though, you can start to recognise what they have done to a bad juice and just marvel at the ones you can't recreate.

I think I've been lucky. I've tried many juices, a lot recommended by members here, BUT as I think we've all found out it is VERY subjective and personal. Have now found a couple, one in particular that I love, and am not even bothering to try others, unless it gets VERY rave reviews. There's about 20 flavours in the cupboard that I know I can use if necessary, but I just keep re-ordering my favourite. You WILL find YOURS! Yes i'm saying i'm pretty sure i have found them already so i dont see the point in spending more on samples.

Yup - Grizwalds, Frogster, Pixiejuice, T-Juice, Vermillion River and some of the few Freedom Smoke USA that I've tried are probably the highlights. You probably can't go wrong with sampling some of them.

It's no coincidence that the juices that are really raved about come from dedicated mixers - Griz, Frogster, Pixie (now unfortunately closed), Grant, Vapist etc rather than the mass-produced liquids

How many liquids is enough? Well, today I have vaped GY-4, tobacco with a hint of vanilla, tobacco with a hint of honey, GVC, lemon meringue pie and coconut caramel with hazelnut honey... So the answer to your question is six...

I guess what it is you're looking for is your ADV (AKA All Day Vape) I think I may have found mine, but it's taken the good part of nearly two months to find THE ONE. Thing is, when I smoked I had one brand I more or less stuck to. I didn't shop around for my Nirvana of analogue flavours. I had a fag brand. I stuck to it. I choked on it and smoked it. Flavour wasn't an issue. I think it's really a case with vaping of having waaaaaaaaaaaay too much choice, and being unable to pin down the flavour that is favoured the most. If there were fewer choices, we probably would just make do and be none the wiser and have less agonising. Having said all that, you may find your fave flave soon and to answer your question - there is no such thing as enough juices. Never. Ever. Ever. After all, the Zombie Apocalypse may just be around the corner.

I have ordered from Vapist and Alchemist,WOEL.. None of them bad... None of them make me want to reorder.
