best value for money juices - cost and quality

[clivealive1]

trying to cut costs a little -   love T-Juice but cant afford a lot at £4.99 for 10ml plus delivery gee .

So what do u feel are the best value for money juices.   cost, quality, flavour etc taken into account.

joose juice is an obvious one but what are the others.

I prefer strong ish flavours.

Buy the t-juice concentrates (and the rest of the gear required for mixing) and make your own for a fraction of the cost. It'll seem a bit pricey at first buying everything you need to get started, but I found it was basically paying for itself in no time.

See, to me, T-Juice is the best value. And by value, I am referring to flavour per £.

Why not mix your own? PG and VG are cheap, nic base can be found cheap enough, and T-Juice concentrate is an absolute bargain. I worked out that I am roughly £1 - £1.50 per 10ml of T-Juice if I mix it myself. Granted you do have to invest a bit at the start to get you set-up.

But I guess it depends on how much you used to smoke, how you justify it. I was 20 a day, so around £7 a day. So spending £50 setting up for DIY was only a weeks worth of smokes. But from that, I made months worth of eliquid.

If it were me, I'd stick to T-Juice regardless, it costs a LOT less than smoking did, so I fail to see the justification of switching to something you like less when the costs are still less than they used to be.

There are many things out there that you don't need to spend top dollar on, but the flavour you like, to keep you off the tobacco, I don't class as one of them.

+1 for mixing your own, and T-Juice concentrates are single flavour, so it's not even a complicated mix.

Whatever you do, don't buy cheapo juices thinking you're getting a bargain. In my experience cheap=crap where juice is concerned!

Yep.. What ^^^^ they all said.


Not to mention the fact that I'm also finding myself agreeing with what others have said. Self made Red Astaire tastes nicer than the pre-made.
A 10ml concentrate will give you 50ml of juice and that's at 20%. Many only mix at 10-15% so even better. Plus 10ml of concentrate is cheaper than 10ml of pre-mix and basically you need a measuring cylinder or syringe and bottles (which you probably have from previous purchases.)

Other stuff can be helpful, but not essential.

Ditto what everyone else said

Mixing is the cheapest but if you don't want to mix then www.vapology.co.uk/tailor-made-e-liquid-2252-p.asp tailor made liquid has to be the best bang for the buck.

Luckily, my main liquid is £4.49 for 20ml. Dekang. There's no hope of me making it myself.

LT ecigs do endless eliquid flavours all around the £2.40-£3.60 mark. They have three flavours for over £5... not tried them.

This year, I'm hoping to make lots of liquid using LTs pre-made 18mg liquid and their flavour concentrates. I can't see it costing more than £1 a bottle.

Have you checked out ltecigs? Quite a few hidden gems to be found there - unfortunately also quite a lot of stuff that tastes like wet dog, but the prices are cheap enough to try quite a few samples. Unlike places like Joose Juice and Ecigarettedepot the flavours are quite strong and don't need months of steeping.

TBA I find a juice that costs £5.00+ that I enjoy vaping, better value for money than one that costs £1.50 that doesn't really taste of anything apart from artificial chemicals and after tasteting a few drops sits in a draw until I either throw or give it away.

+1 on vapology - their custom service allows you choose your flavours and pg / vg ratio and the prices aren't bad at all. 

8bitvape.co.uk/?p=custom also offers tailor-made juices for similar prices and you get even more options, including different kinds of steeping. I've tried their liquid and thought it was very good. Their 'tropical space pirate' is a great tropical fruit flavour that mixes well with other fruity flavours.

Agreed. No question.

However, I can't bring myself to vape Redwood Blend at £5.48 (??)

Are you listening Redwood Blend? Sort it out. Make it less expensive and sell more. It's not ****** rocket science.

Good: Kent, most licorice and licorice blends, mellow yellow (banana and other yellow fruits tank cracker), Western blend (cross between a mild cigar and a mince pie!), Angophora . (Eucalyptus and Menthol Flavour.)

Not: Ravines, Lakes, Crags, Cola (more tesco basics than coke). Not sure about  their blackcurrant tasted quite chemical but its a while since I've tried any.

Of course its all subjective - Ravines is one of their premium products and I've  seen people say they love the stuff!
