first one - i think that this thread might be more useful - if it lists the flavours that all the non-vapors (still smokers) seem to like - you know all the people around us that take a puff to see whether or not its for them or not. I don't think it serves any useful purpose if it just becomes a clone of the one on eliquid reviews. It's the starter ejuices that i was thinking of.

secondly I reckon Grindle is right - people should be allowed criticise (perhaps unfairly) an ejuice if they don't like it - the market is pretty much unregulated - except by consumers - in the case above it sounds like jean jeani is an exception in not liking those ones - however its better that some decent ejuices might get slandered once in a while than something noxious being allowed sit on the market - otherwise we will all get poisoned :-)

Thank you everyone is entitled to there opinion.

Hav,nt tried the usa mix but when your saying it has a sweet tobacco taste with a hint of vanilla its similar to what i,m wanting to avoid.The same as the RY4 i,ve tried and also others have said that it has that sweetness in it too.
Seen a couple the HS 555 highway tobacco that states it has a popular and consistant tobacco flavour.......saying nothing about sweetness
HS tab blended,.......supposed to be like turkish with a sweetness.
HS french pipe,extremely strong tobacco flavour.....if too strong i could mix in something,say HS coffee
Ah Mr Chrome i just came across the HS usa mix and with only 1 out of 6 reviews mentioning a sweetness i,d say this could be definatly one to try.what is the brand that you use,thanks.

.

I have tried the USA mix from liqua and I must say it is very good and tastes like a real cig. Kind of a marlboro.

I might actually give the hs usa another try, everytime I checked the bv 100ml sale usa mix was always sold out, now its in stock.
Im sure if I use it enough I will get to like it, at those prices its almost as cheap as DIY!

Strange because i tried that site a couple of times today and just now and it still shows its out of stock ...

Thats what its called: usa mix, malboro, I used to smoke malboro lights before I quit but trust me it doesnt taste anything like malboro.
When i started vaping I was trying to get a flavour as close to fags as I could, tried silk cut, b+h, etc. and they all tasted foul to me, nothing like a real fag, but usa mix is the closest I have found to the real thing.

Tried the 24 first and then tried the 18 thinking that may be in stock but nada,forgot to try the 12 because i need it twice as strong

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

you could order 36 and 12 and mix them together to make 24

I reckon Mr Chrome has it all in his shopping basket :-)

Mr. Chrome

Now I can only get 12mg in stock, but he has a note up on the site saying he is getting in more tomorrow or contact him with your preferred strength and flavour!!

Good thinking batman never thought of that,just means i,d have to buy 200mls instead of 100mls and if i didnt like it :eek:

damon5

Just checked no 36 left only 12 :eek: have you tried the Tab blended or French pipe...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

tab blended is pretty lovely, got 10ml of it at vapefest

havent tried the french pipe though

Shaggit i,ll never get my order together,thought you were going to make it easy for me and say the other two were crap:)
Is there any sweetness to the tab blended and i think the french pipe night be too heavy with the 2 reviews saying they had to mix a bit of menthol,yuck..
Just started on a 5ml of coffee and finding it pretty nice,no sweetness at all and i loves coffee

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i don't really notice the sweetness most people seem to in eliquids so.. i dunno

damon5

Ok thanks,i,m sitting here toking away on this coffee,it doesnt taste like coffee but more like ground coffee bean aroma in essance.loving evert minute of it,nice blend,not harsh,......not too rich and its smooth and no sweetness at all,think i,ve found my all day vape
Knowing my luck as the 100mls start to be used up it,ll most probably end up like tar and instead not mature with age.

damon5

Nooooo shouldnt have mentioned the coffee,i can see Mr Chrome down ahead of me clearing that out too

jeanjeani

I have the Ego-w I use to vape n I have to say they are very good. I would like to buy and try the vh genesis. Anyone have any suggestions, or a review?

Only things I heard about them is longevity wise they've been known to break down within a few short months. Ease of use wise genesis atomisers are the most difficult things to setup ever :-) if you're up for challenge and a steep learning curve go for it.

grindle

The VH Genesis has received some bad reviews, I believe Green Hornet would rather wax his own ass-crack than use it again.

Genesis atomisers are something you shouldn't touch until you've tried other rebuildables - have you? Genesis atties are fairly fiddly to set up, a bit of a learning curve involved and better to be used with a battery that has better protection than an eGo has.
A badly set-up Genni can murder an eGo quickly with a short circuit. Murdered as in unusable.

The A7 would work and look a lot better, but it's a dripper unless you buy the A7oid drip tip that vaperus.ie and e-smokeireland.eu sell, that turns it into a rebuildable cartomiser.
Another dripper that I haven't seen hit Ireland yet but should hit soon is the iGO-S. Teeny tiny, lovely form factor on an eGo. Looks very easy to set up too.

Where did the coffee juice come from? I'm currently on a mission to try all the various coffee blends out there - Mirage's Cappuccino is my 'vape of choice' at the moment - but it is sweet (which I like) and creamy. Would ideally like to find something like a strong espresso for later in the day/evening. Any recommendations?

http://www.bargainvapour.com/HS_Coffee_100ml/p1274299_8120751.aspx this is where i got a sample to try,smoking over 30 years so tastebuds way off but 1st impessions found this really nice and no sweet tang because sweetness is not my cup of coffee

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

t-juice java juice is a nice darkish coffee flavour

highbrow cappucino diablo is nice and dark but with a creamy undertone as it is a cappucino.. it's lovely

liqua coffee was pretty nice too iirc, been a while since I had it though

damon5

Read up some on the Highbrow one,sounds like a tryout alright..

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it's delicious. if a gun was put to my head and I had to only ever vape one juice for the future... cappucino diablo would be high on the list of possibles

Just ordered 100mls of the coffee from Bargain Vapours (€13.99 + 99c postage - bargain, eh?) at 12mg - thanks for the link, Damon. I shan't be able to try it for a week or so as I'm away, but that should give it some steeping time I'll work my way through the other suggestions!

StickyIcky

I just tried Liqua brand "USA Mix" from VapourPal today and it surprisingly tastes like USA style cigarettes. It has a throat hit alright, is it like cigarettes or not, I can't remember. Some eliquids like Orange DeSangre are a little harsh for me and I'd put the USA mix in that category. I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to throat hit.

That being said... it's not bad. It's actually pretty good. If you like the taste of smokes (which I don't really, just got it for converting folks over) this would be good for you I think. If you're trying to get someone on the smokes to convert over and want something which will be a smooth transition then this will be a good choice.

Over all I'm pretty happy with it and am glad I bought it. I look forward to giving it to some smokers now and seeing their reaction!

Your welcome,ordered 200ml of the stuff myself so waiting like an eager beaver,must check out the Highbrow cappuccino too ....

I got a bottle of this yesterday, it doesn't really do it for me either. I'm leaving it to steep, maybe it'll mellow. It's not the hit bothers me, I like a good TH, it's the flavour. It's like an orange squash that hasn't been diluted. I'd prefer it a little zestier, fresher. Will give it a week open and see.

On tobacco flavours in general I'm beginning to veer towards ones that have nutty undertones. I like the Cigar de Paris, which is tobacco-ish, with an almond after taste, very nice. I find the Cigarrillo Naturale a little harder to vape for an extended period. I need a little flavour. The last bottle of RY4/DK4 from thebestshop.eu is very nice.

For flavours outside of tobacco styled, I like the odd menthol and I've some Berry mix from Liqua and a Dekang blueberry that are both really nice. I also have a mild banana which I have found when mixed with the Cigarrillo is lovely bit of experimenting is fun. I'll try anything once, and sometimes it just works.

I'm awaiting a bottle of Grant's Vanilla Custard [oft simply referred to as GVC] - which I'm dying to try after reading so much about it. It's taking it's sweet time getting here though.

Has anyone tried the ovale e-liquids? Are they any good? Which one you recommend?

I've tried the old tobacco a while back and found it nice - they are a bit pricey for what your getting though (and I wouldn't be bothering with the 0 or 9mg though if your starting off)

ghogie91

I have tried LiQueen juice:
Black Currant- meh ok
Cuban tobacco- Not very nice
Ice Mint- Love it
Chocolate- very nice but couldn't vape all day on it

Mild Vanilla- cannot get enough of the stuff

Dekang Vanilla- very nice taste but Mild is nicer

RY4 (Wingnuts I think)- very nice, nice change from the vanilla, gets slightly over powering after a short while

Irish Coffee (cannot remember brand)- absolutely horrific, I'm still having nightmares

I've also vaped bestecig eliquids and they tasted fine to me. I didn't come across one of their liquids I didn't like actually. However if I tried enough of them I'm sure I'd find a few I won't like.

Every 'brand' of eliquid has flavours I don't like, and flavours I like in fairness.

The first bottle of Liquia brand (I think it's called) Grape flavour (I love grape) tasted like some kind of perfumy thing to me, so I never bought that brand again. However I've heard loads of people rave about it.

my husband nd I buy continuely on the best shop. we finally found 1 we like. We have tried 20+ different juices nd I must say that they are delightful. not only that but the customer service is excellent. you can also get a discount if you use the code irishvape. If you order over 60 euro its free delivery by courier. my husband nd I have the BCC Mega nd have had little to no problems. Nd my husband nd I order the DIY wick and mesh nd stainless steel wire so we can change our wick wen it has had enough nd doesnt taste right. Anyway it is a very excellent shop nd they are fast. but we did have ta go through a few b4 we came across a good one.:o

I agree with you. I have bought my starter kit and a few liquids on the best shop and I have no problem at all. Everything delived to me in the next day. BTW, what is the liquid you finally liked?

I still haven't found a tobacco juice I like. I like sweet juices more, can anyone recommend a nice tobacco with sweet undertones, I tried Wingnuts RY4 and didn't like it at all, there was just a plasticy taste off of it.

grindle

I would've said Virginia Prime and 1st Choice were sweet as tobaccos go, but others find them very smoky.

Halo do a lot of tobaccos with another taste mixed in, I had one recently that was very candy-floss-y but can't remember the name. Was a bit bland to me but it's my friend's ADV.

Yeah thats what I think I'm looking for tobacco with something else mixed in. Mom and Pops actually had a tobacco that I liked, forgot about that until now. It had like caramel, vanilla, coffee undertones it was really nice, I stopped buying it because a lot of people had a bad reaction to it, either found the smell fowl or even got headaches!

Mr. Chrome

Dare I say the dreaded D word, but dekang usa mix mixed with liqua vanilla is my all day vape. I know dekang isn't very popular around these parts but it does the job for me.

I'll give it a go, I tried some dekang liquids and didn't like them but not any of the tobacco vapes, what kind of mix is it. I assume its not 50 USA mix and 50 vanilla. And where is the best place to buy. The one good thing about Dekang it's seriously cheap.

Yeah its cheap alright and so is liqua.
I put about 30 drops of vanilla into a 10ml bottle of usa mix.
I tried dekang vanilla but it didn't even taste like vanilla to me.
Sorry, forgot to mention, I get mine from TBS, but shop around :-)

Cool thanks, bought a load of new liquids to try last week so will have to refrain from ordering for a couple of weeks atleast will give it a go then.

I went shopping on vaporium as they were the only irish website which sold the replacement heads for my ego, so bought 3 bottles of FlovourZ by Joe.

I was dubious about trying flavours apart from tobacco and menthol but now reckon I will mainly move away from tobacco tastes

Cinnamon & Blueberry crumble...does exactly waht it says on the bottle. I have tried 5 flavours overall so far and this is my favourite ..tastes like cake. I feel like trying to re-inhale the vapour to keep the taste going. Delicious, if you like that sort of thing.

Berry Koolada..the nearest taste I can compare it to is the red Airwaves chewing gum. Cherry-like. Nice. Vaping it now with wheat beer from Aldi.

Mint Delight...standard menthol-like taste.

From P1....for a tobacco taste with a slight cigar feel. "Imperial Tobacco".

grindle

Good on ya, everybody's cautious of the sweet flavours at first (EVERYBODY!) but most make the switch for a reason.

caiconafita

I recently tried the Ovale Apple Soft Tobacco E-liquid 9mg.
I liked it. It is not amazing, but it is good enough to vaping all day. I recommend that.

Well we usually buy enough for the a couple months. Id have ta say that amaretto is my favorite. I was reluctant ta try cheesecake cos I love cheesecake but the flovor had me worried. I must say I was not disappointed in even the cheesecake. My husband and I love mixing our flavors. His favs are coffee and toffee. the coconut is great also. Evryone that we have had are great and we ordered all our batteries and our BBC mega and cones. We have been ordering from them since february. So in my opinion TBS is TBS. We have spent lots of money their and I know you get discount code and loyalty points. But in my opinion I think it would be nice if they would throw a juice not tried in your order. It is kinda scary not knowing what you are getting. The only thing that upsets me is that I wish they would have amaretto, cheesecake,and chocolate in 30 ml bottles at least, Cos we always buy 50 ml and 30 ml bottles also 10ml cos certain liquids aren't available in 30 or 50 ml.. still a great company.:)

You are 100% right. The flavors are nice actually. my husband nd I went ta town and forgot our ecigs so we got a pack of cigs and after bein on ecig the cigs were gross.:eek:
