The lists above give you a selection of specific juices to try out if you’re looking for your new favorite flavor, but there’s only so much you can get from a prescriptive set of recommendations.
Although polling ordinary vapers makes the main list about as objective as it can be, there is an undeniable element of personal preference when it comes to choosing the right juice for you.
So how do you go about finding your own favorite?
And when you’ve found a juice you love, how do you get the most out of it? How should you store your juices? Is steeping worthwhile? How do you stay safe when it comes to e-juice?
We’ve put together some additional advice and recommendations to answer these questions.
Guide to Choosing the Best Vape Juice Flavor
Choosing the best vape juice flavor isn’t quite as straightforward as choosing good devices and atomizers, because all you really have to go on is the flavor description, reviews from vapers and facts about the mix such as the PG/VG ratio, but there are a few things you can look out for to choose the right juices.
The PG/VG ratio isn’t going to make something go from being the best e-juice to sucking, but it’s an important part of your individual preference, so it’s better to find juices that match up to it if you’re looking for a favorite.
Most vapers prefer something around a 50/50 mix, but if you’re a fan of high-VG e-juices, for example, this can help narrow your options down and help you settle on a juice to try out. Similarly, if a company offers an 80/20 PG/VG mix, if you find PG a little harsh or too thin in consistency, you’re unlikely to be particularly impressed with the experience of vaping it, even if the flavor is good.
Reviews and Recommendations for the Best E-Juices
However, there’s only so much you can do to find the best e-juice if you don’t taste it for yourself, so recommendations from other vapers – especially if you know you have similar tastes – are absolutely invaluable. You can spend hours searching for the best e-juice but never find something as good as if you’d just posted up on a forum for recommendations or used lists like the ones above.
If you have a vendor you know you like, you can also use the user reviews on their site for the same purpose: if a juice has a high rating and lots of reviews, you can be pretty confident that it’s something special. You can also use sites like JuiceDB to explore some new options and read what vapers think of the different options.
