Crash Course to Choosing your Juice at our Online Vape Juice Shop
Welcome to our Online Vape Juice Shop. Here, you will find some of the leading e-juice brands and many exciting flavours. As an Online Vape Juice Shop, we specialise in premium high-VG e-juice which is more suited for Sub Ohmers and more advanced vapers. Choosing your e-liquid flavour and brand can indeed be an overwhelming task. It is important to note that taste is subjective and you should therefore look for flavours that you like in life. For example, if you do not like a certain fruit, then do not bother at looking for at e-juices containing those flavours.
When choosing your e-juice flavour, ensure that you read the flavour profiles of juices to get an idea what the flavour is about. It is also advisable to read up on each brand as this will give you some information about the e-juices and provide you with a sense of what you can expect. There are many variables that impact on the quality and taste of e-juice some of which include steeping process, e-liquid flavourings, base ingredients and production methods. Below, we will explore how these variables make each e-juice brand what it is.
Size of the E-Juice Company
Since vaping is a fairly new phenomenon, there are a lot of small e-juice start-ups, which means that they may not have the resources to invest into state-of-the-art facilities and may instead outsource the e-liquid production to a bigger manufacturer. Being small, is not necessarily a bad thing. One of the advantages of less known e-juice companies is that they pay a lot of attention to the quality of their e-juices and most of the time, the e-juices are produced in small batches. Usually, you may find that artisan e-juices are on the pricier side and this is not necessarily because the e-juice company is adding an extortionate mark-up. The basic economic reason may be that smaller e-liquid companies are not able to achieve the same economies of scale as larger companies. In fact, larger companies should be more competitive on their price since they most certainly achieve great economies of scale since the more e-juice bottles they produce, the cheaper each bottle becomes to produce. When choosing an e-liquid brand, you may also pay attention to other aspects such as test results. Do not take the word of e-juice companies alone. A lot of vape shops will tell you what you want to hear just to make you buy their e-juice.
Flavourings
When choosing your e-juice brand and flavours at our online vape juice shop, it is important to note that there are many flavour concentrate providers dotted across the world such as Flavourahh, Flavour Art, The Flavour Apprentice (TFA), Moms & Pops, Pink Spot, Capella and many more. If you were to try the flavours from each e-liquid flavour suppliers, you will find that there are many variations for the same flavour and that each flavour is distinctly different. E-juice manufacturers combine flavouring from one or sometimes more manufacturers to achieve their flavour. This means that each flavour is very unique and distinct. There are many people on vape forums who are attempting to replicate the flavours of many prominent vape companies but do not always get the exact match. The reason for this is that in order to achieve the same flavour, amongst other things, it is important to know the source of every flavour. If you are to use the same flavour but from a different manufacturer, then you will not achieve the same e-juice flavour. When choosing your e-juice brand at our online vape juice shop, you should pay attention to the origin of the brand. For example, if the e-juice brand is from the United States, then it is more likely than not that every e-juice manufacturer is sourcing the flavourings from US companies and the e-juice flavours may therefore share a common denominator. If, you are ordering e-juice from the UK for example, then it is more likely that the flavourings were sourced domestically in the UK. This is by no means a definitive criteria to choosing your flavour and just because an e-juice brand is manufactured in the UK, it does not necessarily mean that all the flavours are from the UK and may well be from multiple countries.
Steeping
Steeping is basically a way in which different e-juice ingredients combine together. Each e-juice manufacturer will use a different steeping method. Some vape companies will shake their juice for a period of time whilst other will leave it in the dark for a few days or even weeks. Steeping plays an important role in how the VG, PG, flavourings and nicotine combine together and will definitely reflect in your vape. A lot of e-liquid vape shops will not disclose their steeping methods as this is considered to be a commercial secret that gives a company a competitive edge. Others may be more open and share their steeping methods with you.
Base Ingredients
A very similar point to the e-juice flavourings. Whilst the ingredients in essence remain the same, the quality of PG, VG, flavouring and nicotine will vary across the board. It is paramount that you ensure that the e-juice company can prove to you that they are using the highest-quality base ingredients to make their e-juice. The quality of the base ingredients is important not only for the quality of your vape, but also for your safety. Whilst some juice companies provide testing and quality reports and certificates on their websites, in due course, this information may well need to be provided to regulating bodies.
Production Facilities
When reading up on the e-juice brand, take a mental note of whether the e-juice brand is large or only a small start-up. Whilst a larger e-liquid brand may appear to be more attractive in terms of their state-of-the-art facilities, this does not always translate into a higher quality e-juice. In fact, larger companies work to tight deadlines and it is common for the quality to be overlooked in an effort to save costs. Smaller e-juice companies form an attractive proposition because their e-juices tend to be less widely available and therefore more exclusive. Most of us have tried the big e-juice brands. However, trying something new and potentially from across the seas should be every e-juice connoisseurs intention.
Online E-Juice Reviews
If you like a certain e-juice brand but cannot pluck up the courage to buy it, go on youtube and find an e-juice review. Almost all e-liquid companies aim to have their e-juices reviewed by popular youtube reviewers as this helps them to gain exposure.
PG:VG Ratio
At our online vape juice shop, juices come in different PG:VG ratios. When choosing your PG:VG ratio it is important to proceed with the guiding principle that more VG gives greater vapour clouds whilst PG gives you a throat hit and more flavour. If you are a cloud chaser dedicated to Sub Ohming, opting for higher VG e-liquids is sensible. If you are a beginner, you should consider going for lower VG juices. Pay particular attention to your e-cigarette device since not all personal vapourisers can handle high-VG e-liquid as VG has a propensity for clogging up coils, especially in less advanced personal vapouriser.
Have you chosen your E-Juice brand?
Choosing your favourite e-juice brand or flavour is a bit like choosing a book at a book store. It is enough to take one look at the blurb on the back to see whether it is something you would enjoy reading. Equally, choosing your premium e-juice brand is very similar. Since flavour is subjective and insufficient to decide whether to purchase a certain brand, do try to take onboard our advice above. In a nut shell, look at the flavour profile at our online vape juice shop. If you like it, look further into the brand and if it ticks your boxes, take the plunge and place an order. Vaping e-juice is not like picking a football team for life. You may find that your flavour and brand preferences will change over time.
