The perfect juice is the one that keeps you from going back to smokes. All other considerations are just gravy on the side.
There is no perfect juice..as soon as you think you've found an EDV,..another juice will close that door for you. You are correct though about whatever it takes to keep off the smokes,..but after almost two years I got that. ;)

No worries! I am not a fan boy but I do enjoy a few bottles a year of Gambit. My wife puts it in my stocking each Christmas. It just gets my goat when people complain about the price but many large popular vendors here on the forum charge the same or more.
I buy mainly from his site..I get samples that way. That's how I saved money on trying the Bodens Mate..Not for me though.

Let's face it..if you want top shelf juice you'r going to have to spend a bit of money. I spend more on juices each month than most do on their so called "high end" mods. Not those $600 and up Greek ones but I think you catch my drift.

Tell me about it. Between the wife and I, we go through 400 ml a month. Hence the reason I only enjoy Five Pawns a few times a year......

If you haven't tried Queenside, give it a shot. It is a wonderful blood orange creamsicle. It would be my ADV if I could afford 260 ml a month.....

I knew I liked you.... The wife and I have been using Reos exclusively since 2010. I kill a bottle and a half a day and the wife kills a bottle a day. :toast:

Way over priced? If you look around, you can find it for the low $20's. Even if you don't, they use free priority shipping which realistically makes it $21-22 a bottle, the same price for 30ml as many many many other quality vendors. Heck, Nicoticket is $19 a bottle and you have to pay for shipping on top of that. FWIW, Five Pawns is a Gourmet liquid that I think is a much higher quality, flavor and smoothness, and Nicoticket is not.

What makes Five pawns a gourmet juice and Nicoticket not? Besides being too complex and kinda hipsterish. Just seems over done with a drizzle of this and dusting of that. Is five pawns really all that great, every time I sample I just don't get it. As far as quality goes Nicoticket is pretty clean liquid and one of the few 50/50 juices I can vape without an instant headache.

What someone considers a gourmet juice is subjective. When I think juice I really don't consider it in the same category as gourmet cooking. I'm not a fan boy of any of these suppliers. I'll recommend what my buds like..or what curled my toes. Nothing less.

For me, it is the complex multiple flavors in a single juice that are spot on, I find it smoother than Nicoticket, and has better throat hit. My wife only vapes Nicoticket Frenilla so they get lots of business from me. Me personally, I do not like Nicotickets flavors and purchase from other vendors for me.

I tried dozens of vendors looking for juice worth ordering again ... the only company that came close was 5 Pawns.

Every vendor juice I've tried was not nearly as smooth and clean tasting as 5 Pawns.

When I started DIY, I tried several nicotine bases and the only one as smooth and clean as 5P was VapersTek.

I have only stopped smoking since Christmas so not sure if my taste buds are really that accurate yet, but I never taste all the claimed flavors in these types of juices. Most of these complex flavors remind me of after dinner drinks or liquor based drinks which I am not a fan of. To me The descriptions usually are a thousand times better than the product turns out to be.

I definitely want to try some DIY as I seem to gravitate towards more simple profiles, From the little bit of reading I have done the Vaperstek seems to be the best nic.
Is this the correct link Vapers Tek
Thanks

Thank you I think this is the route I wanna go for my nic. I get headaches from certain juices and this seems to be the cleanest choice picked by many. Also not trying to be a pain about the five pawns,just struck me as weird tasting. I will sample all of them again in a while as my taste buds rejuvenate. All these people loving five pawns can't be wrong

Since there is a lot of discussion about lemon, give ZVR Lemon Cheesecake, commonly referred to here on the forums as "cheese crack" a try. There used to be a large thread about it. It will knock your socks off!

ZVR Lemon Cheesecake Vape Juice - Vapers Junction

It would be doubtful if jrenae4 would like that simply because of the cheesecake..If she shows back up,..I'll let her explain that one. :p

I'm in agreement with her as well..none EVER taste like NY Cheesecake.

the thing with 5P is ... it kinda grows on you.

It may not seem that great at a tasting bar, however, when I actually tried Castle Long, Gambit and Grandmaster in my own device ... that is when I could really appreciate how clean and tasty it was.
Talk about clean bases..That's one thing Ahl has on just about everyone..I've not rewicked my Reo in days because I've only been vaping Ahl's...The wick tells all! ;)

I was on the fence about Five Pawns simply because I was recommended the wrong one to try..Castle Long was NOT for me.
