I've been trying to find online a reasonably priced juice supplier without compromising too much on quality.

Rightly or wrongly I found a site called Unionvape.com which sells 3 x 100ml bottles of your specified custom blend for £19.99. I usually pay that much for 1 bottle in my go-to vape shop in town. However, as I'm going through about 100ml a week, I thought for £20 it was worth giving unionvape a try.

They arrived yesterday and I'm thoroughly underwhelmed. I chose to get blackcurrant, blueberry, and skittles in 6mg nic, 80/20 (VG/PG) ratio. They tasted like when I first switched to sub ohm and was using my 60/40 (PG/VG) 10mg nic juices I previously used with my pen. However, they really irritated my throat and made me cough.

I emailed the supplier asking if they had definitely got my order correct as I usually smoke either 90/10 or 80/20 in either 3mg or 6mg depending on which they have at the time, and I know exactly how that should feel to vape.

They emailed back saying they make their bottles to order so advise letting it steep for a week for the juice ingredients to bond.

So I suppose my questions are;

Is that correct? Will they become enjoyable to vape in a week or so, or is it just down to the fact its cheap juice and/or they've got my order incorrect. I've currently got them steeping while I use some other juices I had lying around.

[edit] I've removed my question about cheap liquid suppliers as I appreciate I can get this info from the rest of the forum.

I've always had awesome advice on this forum so I'm hoping you knowledgeable bunch can help.

Have you made a typo? 3 x 100ml for £19.99? I home brew, buying everything in bulk and can't beat that price by much.

That is one serious bargain if the juice is good, £1/10ml is the cheapest I've ever seen.

Fresh juice often benefits from steeping to better disperse the flavour through all of the liquid. In my fairly limited experience fruity juices tend to be good straight from the post box though.

Key word being "if" - I'm reserving final judgement still it's steeped for a bit longer but so far it's not promising. Failing that I have a bottle of VG I may be able to make it semi enjoyable with but I fear it'll water down the flavour.
 
Okay. Well, there's not much online regarding them in terms of reviews but if you Google 'Union Vape review' you'll find a review on UK Vapers by one user and a few posts on here and some discussion.

I'm not saying it might not be worth trying, but from my point of view usually if something has been discussed years back and is a good price it would usually surface either in reviews, or be talked about a lot more on the forums. Especially if someone had ordered more than once.

Might have been worth looking into beforehand, :(.
 
I ordered from Union Vape 12-18months ago, 12mg Skittles iirc.

Juice was fine, I still have it somewhere actually...

Came in an aluminium canister with child proof cap & a separate plunger type soap dispenser. Honestly the juice wasn't half bad, definitely vapeable.

Infact from what I remember, id be half tempted to dig it out and have a vape on it again.
 
Sounds like it may just need a little time, keep us posted on how you get on though.

I went and had a chat with a guy in my local vape shop and he said that could be the case however it could also be the PG ratio is higher than I ordered or nicotine levels aren't correct. Either way, I'll steep for a week and keep people posted.

I've ordered some bottles off that onepound liquids site in the meantime
