American Vs British eliquid and juice

[tetrasync]

Just wanting to see what the general consensus was over American Vs British liquids and juices?

I've found some of the american ones wholly more flavoursome, but would like to hear what everyone else thinks.

The only ones that have come close so far are Triphammer liquids and a one or two of them have been a bit duff. (I've tried a few!)

Naturally theres a price increase with the american liquids but I'm talking about flavour and clouds more than anything.

I think, and I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong is...

Artificial flavourings. I use American and British made, and I find that vendors that use artificial flavourings are more US based.

UK vendors do too of course, but I think they are fewer in number than the US ones.

I used to firmly believe that US juice was far and away streets ahead of the UK juices. However my opinion in the last few months has changed drastically and I believe that UK juice has caught up in terms of quality and is just as good. With manabush, South Coast Vaper, Digbys, MrKraken, Mrs Lords, and a lot of the smaller, more artisan juice vendors such as Van Dyke Vapes and Accies etc we have some unbelievable juice in the UK. The list goes on. The only difference really (other than price) is that US juice comes pre-steeped but some UK juices can need a steep of a week or two.

Roughly a 50/50 split of my monthly juice orders are US/UK. Next juice order I am not going to be buying any US juice for the first time in about a year, I am just buying South Coast Vaper and manabush and that is it. Used to be a zamplebox subscriber as well but have put a stop to that recently. Great way to try US juices however in my option and get a feel for what is out there. In 18 months of vaping I have had some amazing juices from both sides of the pond, and some absolute shite as well.

I used to be a huge Triphammer fan especially as he was local to me and it was in plentiful supply, but haven't bought any since about Christmas. Find he just churns out the same shit he did before with a different name and its just bland compared to the rest of the juices out there.

Both US and UK juices offer you something different, you just want to be ordering the ones that appeal to your flavour profile the most. Don't take any notice of where they come from.

I've found with the few U.S juices I've purchased recently that there very sweet, too sweet for me. I'm sure there not all like that but I guess the U.S. Market overall has different taste preferences/pallets to us in the UK. There sweets/candy and chocolate are a good testament to that, far too sweet and artificial tasting for my liking. I tend to stick to UK liquids mainly.

I've tried US juices and find them a bit bland compared to UK juices. El Diablo wipes the floor with Alpha and Omega for instance. Mrs Bee's custard is great and I'm looking forward to trying South Coast Vaper when I get paid.

Something that (possibly?) could be considered is that some of the concentrates used to manufacture UK juices are made in the USA. For them to arrive at the final juice manufacturing destination, they could pass through lots of traders (middle men), which opens the doors for "cutting" seeing as everyone wants as much profit out of it as they can squeeze.

Could people please post links to sites they buy their liquid from such as the ones described above? Mama usb, Southcoast, Mrs Bees etc

Look forward to trying some better UK made liquids!

The few us liquids i have tried have put me off. I really do advocate uk liquids, we have some top top stuff here & it isn't about saturating it in flavor. The best stuff is well blended. I have no issue either with steeping time, even the stubborn custards don't take long & you can buy in advance. UK all the way.

I was pretty disappointed with most UK juices but the US juices were too pricey. Then along came Vapecrate and at £4 for 15ml I hammered them.

The results were about the same as for the UK juices, some were very mediocre, but the ones I liked are streets ahead of anything from the UK. I do like very sweet juices and artificial flavours though, which aren't necessarily a bad thing in ejuice.

Tobacco concoctions aside, I'd take Wyze, Ruthless, Clutch Vapors etc any day.

i tend to find the smaller the company the better the juices. far to much mass produced single flavour bland crap out there. ( and thats across the board be it US, UK , china or anywhere else )
id rather stick with the likes of Tmax, Krakens, Halycon haze, afternoon tea, dunfords, t juice, van dyke vapes. prefer my pounds and pence to stay pounds and pence hence why i also dont buy from china any more
