^ Yeah, seems like some places want to concentrate on the (exaggerated) effects on your wallet rather than the effects on your health! If I had bought something claiming that, I would be pretty worried when I was consuming 3-4 cartos a day!

I have been using my iphone plug for my eGo tornado passthrough, from what I have read, shouldn't be a problem.

Hi there, I use mini novas myself, didn't get on with the Kanger T3 (leaked everywhere), but do like the CE4 as well. I also use a carto tank. Problem is, everyones vape taste is different! I have recently (as in the last couple of days) been using Boge LR cartos (without a tank), and I'm pretty impressed with them so far. Have you considered trying a carto? It just seems to me that with your reletively low use of juice, filling a couple of cartos (XL ones hold about 1.2ml I think) and just changing them out would be a pretty hassle free option. Just a thought, and apologies if you have already tried em, I'm not totally sold on them myself yet, but I am of the opinion of trying everything once!

Wow, the claims of lasting up to 40 cigarettes worth per carto is pretty astonishing! I get through around 4-5 ml of 18mg juice per day, coming from smoking 35-40 cigs per day. Is there something I am missing about these particular cartos?

Thanks very helpful for me as I have yet to discover the joys of Vaping with flavours and e-liquid Still waiting for the postman with my first order .... Why does it have to be Sunday tomorrow grrrr Ahh, postie stalking, if it was an olympic event, we would all be in for the gold for sure! Wait until you get into cartos, carto tanks, clearos, dripping, bottom feeders and atomisers! Then your head will spin for sure! I'm currently trying out a bit of everything myself! Good luck with vaping, its a brilliant experience!

Good reviews, you say everything that's needed. Try Vapology blackberry with extra flavour sometime, that's as good as his cherry flavour. I will definitely give that a go then! Never had blackberry anything before so it will be a new one on me! Thanks!

Wow, you really are a friendly bunch, I feel so welcome! Hi all! I am also getting the feeling I may need to set a picture of my dog as my avatar as well....

Thanks for the positive remarks! I was trying to keep it brief, and I hope that it helps

Ok, so I have been vaping for around 6 weeks or so, and have bought quite a few different juices, so thought I would share my thoughts on some of them.
I will keep the comments brief, so it's not a massive wall of text (hopefully!), and group them into the vendors that I have bought from:
Apologies for any spelling errors in advance!
Vape Escape:
Grizwald's Joocy Fruit 20mg - bought a sampler of this. Very tasty juice, nice and sweet but not overpowering, really tastes like juicy fruit, a very nice juice all in all!
Grizwald's Black Cat 16mg - Really nice all day vape. This has become one of my favorites. Very distinctive flavour, slight licorice, but not so much that licorice haters (such as me) should be avoiding this great juice!
Grizwald's Strawberry ice cream 20mg - Bought a sampler of this also. Very glad I only bought the sampler, as to me this is a very unpleasent vape. I had avoided any creamy flavoured liquid up to this point because I feared that I would dislike the combination of vapour and creamyness. This is not to say that this would be unpleasent for someone who liked the cream type juice, but not one for me! Definite strawberry taste though, and easy to taste where the ice cream flavour is!
Grizwald's Arctic honey 16mg - Bought this not sure of wether I would enjoy it. Opened on the day of delivery rather than letting it steep (who hasn't?) and yuck, almost threw it away. Gave it around 48 hours, and oh my, what a difference! My all evening vape. Really subtle honey tones, blend really well with a nice soft menthol. Honey taste after the exhale. Delicious! I foresee buying large quantities of this in my future!
Grizwald's Peanut Butter 16mg - A strange one this, I was looking forward to a strong sweet peanut butter, but this does not deliver that. More of a peanut flavour than peanut butter, its very nutty and almost dry tasting. Still very pleasent, but I can't vape it for long periods.
Vapology: (all from tailor made)
Mango 18mg (60/40 PG/VG)- Nice clean vape, but a little light on flavour for me, but very inoffensive on the taste buds. Would buy again, but with extra flavour.
Raspberry 16mg (60/40, double flavour) - Ordered with double flavour as my taste buds can be a little stubborn, but wish I hadn't! It's a shame as it has a lovely raspberry flavour, but overpoweringly (is that a word?) sweet with double flavour. Will order with extra flavour next time, not double!
Cherry 18mg (80/20 double flavour) - Fantastic. Tastes just like cherry drops (the sweets). Almost an uncanny resemblance to them! Really nice persistant cherry taste, lingers in my mouth beutifully! Have already ordered more!
Cookie 18mg (60/40) - Smells wonderful, the best smelling juice ever, like a freshly opened packet of biscuits. I really wanted to like this, but sadly could not. Strong butter and sugar taste when vaping. The first bottle I know I will never be able to vape. Been steeping for weeks, and apart from a richer flavour, still not to my taste. I will definitely be avoiding this in future.
Aniseed 18mg (80/20 double flavour) - Another winner from vapology. I adore aniseed, and this hits the spot wonderfully. Really smooth rich aniseed flavour, almost lies on your tongue when its in your mouth, its so rich!
Vanilla 18mg (60/40) - I love vanilla so was really looking forward to trying this. It's pleasent enough, but not enough vanilla flavouring for me, it's only really noticable when vaped after consuming something totally contradictory in taste terms, such as orange juice. Saying that, it's nice enough and clean tasting enough that I have almost finished my bottle. Will be ordering again with extra flavour!
RY4 18mg (60/40) - Nice sweet and smokey flavour, I can defnitely taste the caramel overtones. This was a great vape as I stopped the analogs, and is still pleasent now, but been moved out of rotation in the way of other juice. Very innofensive, and something I can rely on when others don't hit the spot.
Blackcurrant 16mg (60/40 double flavour) - This is one of my newest additions. VERY strong blackcurrant taste. Too much for me, but again my fault for ordering double flavour! I am struggling to vape this due to the sweetness, but am going to try mixing it with menthol to tone it down a little, and hopefully get a blackcurrant tunes type taste (which I must say the juice already smells like).
Apple 18mg (60/40) - Bought this on a whim, I usually am not fond of apple flavours, but I am surprised that I can vape this. Very tart apple taste, I imagine an apple lover would really enjoy this!
Tutti Fruiti 18mg (80/20 double flavour) - Really a very nice flavour. Reminds me of bubble gum more than anything. Very palatable and a good all day vape if you like sweeties!
Capuccino 18mg (60/40) - I really like coffee, especially capuccino. This was a huge dissapointment. I find no hint of coffee taste at all, but find a strong taste of wafers (think Blue Riband).
Totally Wicked:
Titan Red Bull 18mg - Really enjoyed this flavour, if you are a fan of red bull, this is a definite winner! Also mixes well with other fruit flavours, if you're into that kind of thing!
Titan Ice Menthol 18mg - Strong menthol flavour, refreshing, but not easy to vape for extended periods, but very good for adding to fruit flavours!
Titan Blended Virginia 18mg - My first juice, and enjoyed it at the time, but now I am a little more juice educated, was almost a 'generic tobacco' flavour. Decent first vape, but I don't think I would enjoy it now.
Titan Cherry 18mg - Lovely sweet cherry, not overpowering at all. An easy all day vape for me, and was used up pretty fast when I had it! I will likely purchase more when I am at my local B&M store.
Iron Brew 18mg - Seems like TW have their fizzy drink flavours spot on, as this tastes exactly like Irn bru when used in my dripper! Added bonus is that it is identical in colour to it as well!
Bargain Vapour:
Menthol 18mg 100ml - Really nice gentle menthol flavour - think softmints. Easy to vape whenever, and I always turn to this if my tastebuds are having a bad day!
Pepper Soda 18mg 100ml - This does not taste like Dr. Pepper. I think it's a way of 'almost' describing the flavour to europeans. It's root beer, through and through. Smells like TCP or similar (just like root beer does). Once past the smell its actually a very nice vape. Not dissapointed with it, but I think it will take a while to get through the bottle, as it's not a very strong flavour, which I find difficult to percieve.
Hope this was useful to some, its my first go at reviewing... well, anything to be honest!

A quick question about reviewing also, I have quite a few juices that I wouldn't mind putting a review out on, are there any issues with reviewing? Like, if it has been reviewed before, should I avoid saying anything about them, or mentioning vendors? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and girls Good news on the gadgetitis then, I can cope with a mild incapacity! My vamo (magic wand) and mechanical gripper (such a little thing!) have arrived this week, so I may be able to hold off on buying for one or two days! Or at least until the STV novas are back in stock at vape escape On the plus side, I regulate my spending at present by only spending what I spent on smoking, considering it was 35-40 a day, got a pretty decent budget at the moment, which is a lifesaver, as dipping my toe into the juice market has provided unexpected results ie liking stuff I thought would be not great, and got a few juices which I thought I would love, only to find I can't get on with them at all!

Just registered and saying hi! Been lurking around here for a while now, been vaping for around 6 weeks or so, and suffering heavily from gadgetitis! Can't stop buying! Love vaping so far, not had an analog since the day after I picked up my first PV, difficult to believe how effective it is, plus all the delicious flavours available! Looking forward to being a part of this wonderful community
