Has anyone found a less expensive juice similar to Space Jam Eclipse? Giant Vapes describes it as "a cavendish tobacco, with vanilla notes." And the primary flavors being cream, vanilla and tobacco. I've seen other references saying the cream had a salted taste. Whatever.

If I wasn't trying other juices at the same time, I know I could run through at least four 30ML bottles per week at $22 each, with postage added on. And that's more than I'd like to spend.

I've found several other juices that are great, but none are much less per ML than Eclipse. Also I'd like to find one Diketones free, if that's possible.

Anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!

Check out the real deal... Ether Vapes Vanilla Skye. Eclipse was a decent artificial tobacco juice they almost hide the fake baccy taste. Sounds like its time to step up to NETs. 12 bucks a 30ml.

Vanilla Skye Blend

Edit to add -

Mountain oak vapor has some STRONG tobacco juices that are all Diketone free.

www.Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com, e-liquids for electronic cigarettes very well priced, tasty, and a big selection too

Theses dont have a vanilla cavindish but have very good bacco juices too.

The plume room - Dutch Cocoa tobacco, Burley and candy, Candied Cavindish

Nicoticket (light tobacco notes) - ACB (Caramel with a hint of bacco), Radioactive (ACB reversed), Wakonda, Cure and Virus

Tagi, Thanks for the info. I've contacted Ether about which options I should pick. Mountain Oak is on my list. I'll check out The Plume Room. I've tried several NET and NICO juices and didn't care for any of them. Not bad, but not great either. When it comes down to it, I've been away from tobacco long enough that I cannot take tobacco flavors any longer. Space Jam Eclipse is supposed to have a tobacco taste, but I've never noticed it. I probably blew out my taste buds from years of smoking!

We had another thread about this awhile back, worth a look:

Space Jam Eclipse | E-Cigarette Forum

I've tried G2's caRnY4 since then, but I didn't really dig it. I heard it was similar, but nah. Too much of a cotton candy tobacco flavor. Sadly Space Jam has a firm grip on me until someone figures out a cheaper version :/

Tagi could be right about NET's but after trying so many tobacco flavors I've realized that I don't really like them. That vanilla cavindish is apparently what has its hooks in me.

Dry, we must be on the same page, as both of us like Eclipse and both disliked the Triton. Thanks for the link to the other thread. I missed that one in my search.

I didn't like the G2 caRnY4 either. Of the juices, other than Eclipse, that I've bought twice and in larger quantities are Cyclops Colossus and Just V.A.P.E. Divinus Custard. The only problem with either of those is the VG content is higher than I'd like and there's only about of dime of cost savings over Eclipse.

Of the cheap juices I'm working through, The Vape Mall's Vanilla Custard is not bad. There are two versions. I cannot decide which is better. You can get it as low as 12 cents per ML.

I tried Mt. Baker's Coumarin Pipe awhile back and thought it was the answer, but after a couple of weeks I found it too sweet. I did get a couple of bottles the other day along with NiteLiteVapor's Bounty Hunter and ProVape's Simply Vanilla. I'm steeping all of them for at least a month.

Charlie Noble's Charlie's Custard is looking good. I'm on bottle number two. It's about 38 cents per ML. From Tagi's recommendation I'm going to order a couple of bottles of Ether Vapes Vanilla Skye.

Where you have discovered you don't like the tobacco flavors, I've come to that conclusion too. And a lot of the custards taste way to burned for me. The super sweet ones don't do it for me either. I guess I'm just too damn picky!

How funny. Yeah the Triton can rot in hell, hah. Good suggestions, I'll check those out. I'm not a high VG fan either. And we are in the same circle here...I was just investigating Charlie Noble too because it's so cheap. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I might have to try. And exactly, everything is just too sweet in the custard realm for me.

And this is not a cheap option, but since we may have the same pallet...I'm ready to change your life. You need to look into DragonScape by ENJOY artist collection. It's described as "Indian spices and Asian teas within a creamy custard of Belgian caf and Madagascar vanilla" It does have a semi coffee flavor, which I never thought I'd like in vape. But I mix it with half Eclipse and it's pure bliss. If that sounds even sort of up your alley, you have to give it shot.

It's the ultimate morning vape, and I'm going through this stuff like crazy.

Dry, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot. How on earth did you ever figure out how to mix the two?

Dragonscape is a tiny bit strong on it's own, and I figured that Eclipse is pretty neutral, so it would mellow it out. And of course Eclipse makes everything in that realm better : )

I've never tried mixing juices. I wonder what I could try to make juices that are too sweet slight less so?

Yeah, I'm actually pretty cautious about mixing juices, but it's never gone too wrong. Maybe I've had good luck, but I've found that if it sounds like a good mix, it usually is.

I had a similar question once and someone told me just to use straight PG or VG to mix with it. This does get sort of into DIY, but it should be super easy. I have yet to try it, but that should be the solution if you have a flavor that you like, that is just a tad too sweet. Just note that I think PG is the sweeter of the two, so VG would likely be the best to mellow a flavor out. Someone check me on that. Or you could just use the same mix of your flavor; 50/50 etc.

I think it's basically like adding extra water to Kool Aid when it's too strong.

Thanks, Dry. I may try the VG. I tried Mt. Baker Coumarin Pipe several months ago and found it too sweet. If I could cut that down a bit, it might be the juice to replace Space Jam. And Mt. Baker stuff is certainly cheap enough that juice cost is no big deal.
