So Treetie, what do you think? I probably haven't gone far enough to see if you posted your thoughts, so if you have, please excuse me. I'm anxious to see what you think... I followed your lead and am ordering some samples, too.

Talking to myself (again), nope :oops:.... didn't go far enough. Thanks, Treetie (and everyone else) for posting your thoughts.

makes me wonder what my dog is really thinking...but I'm pretty sure I'm spot on ;)

I should take a picture of my dogs when they do this. It is my male who yells (barks) thinks really really loud at my female. Funny thing is she stands like that ignoring him. People at the dog park always think he's viscous, but he isn't trying to attack or hurt her, just let her know he didn't appreciate how she didn't snap when that other male sniffed her rear. Love your conversations about the thoughts of the lions.

Love it! Just ordered 15 flavors to try. I order from 2 of the companies already so I know I like some of their juice.
I'm guessing, but my average "like" ratio is not very good. Maybe 1 in 20 I really like, 2 are ok and most of the rest I could vape but don't really want to, then there are a few that are awful.
I'm very picky with food and seem to have the same problem with e juice. I envy people who enjoy a broad range of tastes, I so wish I was in that group. This is perfect for me. Like the previous poster said (and since these are already steeped) I feel very confident with 1 ml that I can tell if I don't like it and hopefully spend money more wisely on juice that has a possibility of making the cut.
Thanks for the heads up.

I really like your view of picky vs non-picky. I'm one of those that has a fairly high ratio of liking juices that I buy, and I realize I'm lucky for that. I've had people say to me.. "I wish I was like you and liked everything, but I'm picky what I like". So I appreciate that you put it in the way I look at it, that my range of tastes is broad. I really do enjoy all types of flavors, but won't necessarily like them if they're not done well.

For me too 1ml is enough to get a decent idea if I want to proceed with a juice. I may not be able to tell how much I'll end up enjoying it or for how long I'd enjoy it, but it's enough to tell if I consider it worthy for further consideration. 1ml will last me several hours of heavy vaping.

I ordered a bunch of juices to try from here, and I was very impressed how quickly they shipped! I put the order in Friday night, by Saturday morning I had a shipping notification, and they were in the mailbox Monday afternoon! Wow! How many of the flavors I will like, well, that is another question...

I think 1ml is enough for me to get a decent idea of the flavor, but the problem I have with the small samples is that I think they pick up more of the plastic taste from the bottles. Quite a few of the juices that I've tried so far from the order have the same plastic taste, and since they are from 4 different vendors, I don't think it is inherent to the juice flavor. I suspect the bottles are the culprit. Hmmm.

Oh man. That is a possibility I had not considered. My order should be here in the next couple of days. I'll let you know if I can taste it too. Fingers crossed.

Ok, my 15 1ml samples came yesterday. I sampled all day! I had not tried Virgin so I tried theirs first. I have to say of all the chocolate I have tried theirs is the best hands down. Coc Cake..was my Grandmother's homemade version. I could taste the cocoa in the icing. Their choc chip cookie was spot on too. I didn't really like any of the fruits but they weren't bad. Remember these are just first impressions from 3 or 4 drops. I will take my time and go back through them all.
I have several Zeus flavors that I keep in stock but had not tried their Praline and Cream. :) Love it! This sampler was worth it if I had not found another flavor. I've tried P&C from several vendors (I loved VR Praline out of the bottle but after steeping...not so much) this is excellent. I'll be ordering a big bottle TODAY! Quick Nic Juice P&C was good but not compared to Zeus.
I love Mom & Pops and they also have a few juices that I always have on hand but didn't care too much (yet) for the samples I tried this time. OK but not my taste. LOL which is probably why I haven't already tried them.

Overall...I really love these eSamples! I would have spent A LOT more money trying out these juices if I had to order regular samples. Granted some I may not have tried but I really didn't stray from my normal taste on the majority of my order. I hope more venders will jump in and make their juice available. Had a very enjoyable vape day!

Just got a newsletter email from Eliquidsamples--

guess what? They've added ten more flavors from Mom n'Pop's (which is cool because I wanted to try some of those particular ones)
but the cool part is that in a couple weeks they're going to start offering their 1mL samples from HighBrow Vapor. I'd forgotten I had
wanted to try them. Haven't heard them mentioned lately.

So, I just received a fantastic email from eliquidsamples today! They are re-sending samples in glass vials to everyone who ordered. No further action necessary. (FWIW, I did not contact them to complain, but some people must have, so they are doing right by everyone who ordered from them.) Their website indicates that they are closed for restocking while they get the glass vials, and it sounds like all of the samples will be going out in glass from here on out. I give this vendor an A+ for caring about customer satisfaction!

Ok, that is impressive. I went to the site, said they'd be closed until September sometime. Evidently they've found that the plastic 3ml bottles they had been using were slightly porous and the flavor could be negatively affected so they are waiting for 1ml glass vials. Also, as LisaR said, past orders will be re-shipped in the glass vials.

Truly excellent customer service. I signed up for the newsletter so I'll be informed when they re-open and I'll order some samples.

Holy crap, I am definitely placing an order here. I've wanted to try these vendors and prefer buying smaller bottles since I'm quite picky about what flavors I like (as I dislike almost 80% of what I get). There's a ridiculous amount of juice just sitting on my shelf, either over half full or almost completely full because I don't like them. It is a lot of wasted money. Any particular flavors I should try?

Ok.. I placed my order here. Got about 18 samples for about $32 including shipping.

Virgin Vapors - Creme Caramel, Darjeeling Sweet Tea, Lemon Chiffon, Kona Velvet Milkshake, Strawberry Shortcake, White Chocolate Raspberry

Mom and Pop - Calipitter Chow, Butterfly Bait, Pchela's Famous 5 Layer, Strawberry Cheesecake, Tobacco Haze, YUM!

Highbrow - Creme Brulee, Hazelnut Cream, Limoncello, Orange de Sangre, Vanilla Bean Decadence

Zeus - Zeus Juice

I have high hopes that I'll like at least 50% of them... hopefully.

For the record everything about Zeus juice is fantastic from my experience.

I am pretty sure that when it comes down to it, making 1ml.bottle samples is lame for the following reasons :

They are probably paying more for the bottle than 1ml of juice.

A 5ml bottle probably costs the same as a1ml bottle.

The percentage of people who don't drip and have to spend at least a dollar on a carto for each juice, is A. A large fraction of total vapers. B. Typically people who are new to vaping, not yet loyal to any juice maker and looking for one. C. Going to pass on this deal.

Flavors change you need to try it now and later.

The fact is however, if I like your juice, I'll buy a lot of it. It's in companies best interest to get me to try their juice. A 1ml sample isn't going to cut it. IMHO...
