Picking a flavor is a big part of the fun for most vapers, and the shelves hold everything from sweet and sour blends to the downright odd. The four e-liquid makers below are known for flavors that are unusual but still pleasant to vape, so nothing here resembles the Doritos or Windex juices that occasionally make the rounds.
Everyone has a personal favorite. These four have earned strong ratings for quality, taste and value, and each has a small story behind it.
MYLK: built around condensed milk
MYLK comes from Brewell Manufacturing, a Los Angeles company. The team says the line grew out of the food, music, culture and people around them. It was one of the newer names on the scene when this was written, and every flavor starts from the sweetness of condensed milk.
- Original condensed milk
- Banana
- Caramel almond
- Green tea
- Melon
- Strawberry
Charlie’s Chalk Dust: a hobby that a shop owner noticed
CEO Brandon Stump began by mixing all-day vapes for himself, in flavors interesting enough that he would not tire of them. The line opened with five: PB & Jesus, Slamberry, Banana Brule, Orange Blossom and Dream Cream.
He handed bottles to friends without much thought. One friend vaped it inside a local vape shop, the owner caught the scent and asked for a try, liked it straight away and asked for bottles then and there.
Naked 100: a young lab from southern California
Naked 100 was a young company at the time of writing, started in southern California, and it had already become one of the best-known labs in vaping. Its range runs from sweet to salty to rich, and yogurt flavors had started to join the lineup. The popular families are:
- Original fruit
- Salt
- Cream
- Fusion
- Tobacco
- Menthol
- Ice
Cosmic Fog Vapors: months of work per flavor
Cosmic Fog Vapors puts an average of 7-10 months into developing a single flavor. After a blend is mixed, the founders vape it constantly to make sure it holds up before customers ever see it. The company’s claim is that the results do not wear out their welcome over time.
