I think my first OMG taste moment was when I took my first rip off of a subohm tank, 45w oh how I coughed. I knew right away I could easily ditch smoking, that was Dec 2015.
Worst moment wasn’t really e juice related, it was at the practices of my local B&M. I was about 2 months in and realized my knowledge surpassed every employee in the place. 2 salesman set a new vaper up with a SMPL mod and a Kanger subtank. Told him if he planned on using the RBA base (which he was excited to try) he’d need to know the Ohm’s law. When he asked for an explanation the guys both agreed that since they always build the same resistance they can’t remember the formulas and to Google it. I caught the guy outside, told him they sold him a dangerous setup. He went for a refund, which they denied. I haven’t stepped foot in there again.
oh they all change daily, I test them regularly and a couple of the ones I have tried in the past actually dropped off pretty quickly after a month where as some can take 2 to really shine, I’ve never made one that is good after 2 days though so respect for that
Best OMG!
Bird Brains by Cuttwood. I love Fruit Loops and Cuttwood nailed it…to my palate anyway.
I have tried so many times to clone it I gave up. Still no joy. Not even close.
Worst money ever spent on retail e-liquid…
Space Jam’s Andromeda.
I find it to be somewhere in between the “hack and the jourke”. You know, the noise you make right before you puke.
Gasoline flavored green apple. WTF.
Hmmm. I didn’t spend that much time at the bnm shops so my experiance is limited. First omg horrible was finding out the ejuice I purchased was a zero nic instead of 8mg and I was trying to quit smoking…to top it off the store and manufacturer were zero help. First omg great taste moment was trying my first subohm tank (aspire Atlantis)…it unlocked the flavors.
Next omg disappointment was tasting an apple ejuice in the shop and buying a 30ml bottle to find it lacking in flavor…so I started digging into something called “steeping.” My steeping research unlocked DIY for me and everything else.
Made my first mod, battery, and charger purchase. Continued reading every possible thread on DIY. After a month of reading jumped into DIY.
Next worste omg flavor was the standard …none of my mixes were working while every raved about the latest HIC recipie and so on. Turned out what I was trying to mix would never work for me while it worked just fine for 1000 other people.
After that it has been never ending happiness. Fingers crossed, havnt had to dump a mix in a very long time…few fixer’upers but all good…Atleast vapable
This is what turned me to buying expensive concentrates. Nothing against other mixers, but I just don’t get hardly any flavor from a lot of TPA, CAP and FW. Highly concentrated was the way for me.
yeah I should change mine, after posting this thread I’ve remembered a couple of things, like you my first OMG moment wasn’t just trying Mothers Milk the first time but actually I bought my first Kanger sub tank at the same time I bought my first bottle of MM, so it was a real WOW moment and definitely what kicked me off properly on the whole vape 'thang’
and I also remembered the first time I bought a Mechanical from fasttech, I mean I knew nothing and really shouldn’t of been messing about with it with so little knowledge, anyway, no pole markings on it, Just presumed the batts went in opposite, but they were meant to be parallel, couldn’t work out why it was getting so hot, then the batts swelled, couldn’t get it out, one starting hissing so I had to launch the whole thing out of the window (face palm) I was lucky, but never again did I mess with anything like this without knowing what I was doing lol
It would need it’s own thread. I’ll try and put a list together… hopefully I won’t step on anyone’s foot in the process. Maybe I can set it up for each vaper to put up their favorites. We have a Recommended Research List, but a lot of them I don’t use.
That would be cool, I’ve only been mixing for a year so I’ve barely moved from the ‘big 3’ as you call them, I’ve just used a couple of INW which I like a lot and a few more oddities like One on One, DV, T juice and Vapable, but I bow down to the knowledge from people on this forum, I can cook but I’m no chef
You’re on the right path. You ask questions and absorb info from the replies. We are all different, so you’re sure to get a lot of views. We’ve all been there. DIY is a process, and you will get to where you want to be.
A lot of people have made a lot of money and web fame from the “Big 3”. They’re just not my 1st choice for most flavors I like to use. I actually feel like the odd man out, because not many vapers actually share my view of vaping and diy liquids. I just do what works for me.
Lol. I remember a back and forth discussion on that very topic and not that many jumped in. My best mixes sit at the 5-8% range with only a couple that sit at the 15-18 just because I can’t seem to find the flavors from the other three (FA, mf, INW)
Best OMG moment: trying a friend’s Innokin Coolfire IV (with whatever tank Innokin ships with it in a kit), and some unknown bubblegum juice. I wouldn’t normally even try bubblegum, but this was amazing and smooth, and I can’t wait to try it with my favourite flavours.
Worst OMG moment: has yet to happen. There’ve been some boring juices/hardward but that’s about it so far.
I have been vaping since 1/1/13, started with them cough,gag,cough, Blucigs at the gas stations, stuck with it till the ego’s, kangertanks, etc.
But my Best moment was when I found ELR, and my worst moment was when I made my 1st juice, puke!!!
