100% VG Juices from The Vapor Room... Amazing specials, great flavors! Vendor and flavors review.

[orachel]

That is definitely unusual. I'm in exactly the same boat. Ordered Mon, not shipped yet. I've not had a delay like this in the 5 or so orders I've placed with them so far.

But, irritation aside (cause I really wanna try my new flavors! lol).... I believe the site said juices all made to order, normally ship within 24-48 hours, and then said, experiencing a higher volume than normal, so we apologize for the 2-3 day delay... What that means to me, is that could take up to 5 days to ship. I know that's rough... believe me, I do. But I've had that happen with every good vendor i've dealt with for juice in the past. Same exact thing (only much longer delays) happened with Annette at Virgin Vapor. She's an outstanding juice vendor, all organic... just best of the best. AND she charges $18 per bottle with NO specials at all. Love the juice, outstanding human being and will go to the ends of the earth to make clients happy, but I just couldn't afford it other than as an occasional special treat. That's honestly the only reason I went hunting for new vendors, because I'm on a fixed income, and flat out couldn't afford the 3ish ounces I vape per month at that price.


And why I was so excited when the TVR juices were about as good, and average (for me... I get all VG, plus a flavor boost, so that's an extra $1.50 per bottle) $11.50 per ounce (for the flavors of the week) and $13.50 an ounce when I use the '3 ounce for $45 (all vg)' special, and the 10% off coupon. Anyway, it got to the point where Annette was working alone, got super great reviews and her popularity exploded... then was having a major delay in shipping because each bottle is individually prepared.

My guess is the exact same thing is happening to Josh and Jess (the TVR owners, I believe), because they're just coming off a recent sale, so orders go thru the roof. Guessing they're just understaffed and will have short delays and growing pains till they get a new employee trained up to improve the turn around time. Happened with a bunch of other juice vendors, too. All these little internet vape places, when they get popular, have to go through it. Guy who sells me my cartos super cheap at CrystalClearVaping actually doesn't turn on his site on days when he's super busy, so you have to go back again and again and pray he's open. rofl

Its horrible on our end, of course. I'm just super sorry you're having this experience on your very first order! That's such a bummer, I know! Especially if you're dissatisfied with what you're vaping now. Are you doing ok with juice, or are you in a vapemergency and need some right away? I could probably hook you up with a few days worth, no problem if you're stuck. Only thing is now US mail is taking a year and a half! lol But let me know if you're in trouble. You (or I would be glad to help you) could even go to your local vaping forum here... for instance, I'm in the vaping In Phoenix group... and I'd bet someone very close to you could hook you up in a day or two if you're close to running out.

Best thing I found with virgin vapor when this happened (so I'm going to plan for same with TVR, just in case) is to get yourself ahead in juice orders like 2 weeks... So if/when this happens you don't get stuck. I've so been stuck and its not at all fun. But if you need me to mail you a little 'tide you over' bit, or help you find someone local, just PM me, Ok? I see you're a veteran, so guessing you've got it figured out, but just in case. I'm so sorry this is happening first order, but I'm all but certain when you get your juice you're gonna be super happy. I sure was. Thought I was gonna get bargain basement, just tiny bit better than Dekang quality at the discount prices, so I was amazed at how good they were. Let me know if you need any help... I'm happy to do whatever I can. And so sorry! This just started happening. I'm surprised myself about this.

 

[mrrunon]

thanks for the offer.. but my shipment has been sent and i'll just hold until it comes. i have juices, but they are terrible (i probably have about 60 ML of juice that i won't even consider vaping). so right now i'll just have to make due.

im actually still smoking analogs.. i haven't had a juice that i've enjoyed in the 5 months that i've been vaping, so i've been unable to kick the habit. right now i have a horrible banana juice that is running out (from vapor bomb).

it was shipped today.. so it was approx 3-4 business days.. can't complain too much.

i would say it'll come on tuesday at the earliest. can't complain too much, as they did give the courtesy to say that it would take 2-3 business days to ship out.

 

[orachel]

Oh wow... yeah, i had a rough time for about a year and a half juice wise, but I at least had a few I could stomach vaping. Nothing vapable is just rotten. Mine shipped today, as well, and I definitely got down to the wire on juice a few mos ago (that was financial on my end, not cause of shipping problems) so I was starting to get a little nervous myself. Was glad to see it shipped, finally. And hey... the good news is, assuming you like your juices here (I know thats a big assumption), at least you had the cleverness to find a reasonably priced place for juices that you like. I kept having horrible horrible unvapable juice orders, and then the only one I would like is from one of the higher end juice places.. those are just out of my reach. So for a while I was spending as much trying to find juices as I was when I was smoking analogs.

That's why I got all of my vaping friends onto the TVR specials. Honestly, they're not just 'decent juice for the price' , they're really outstanding gourmet flavors. So I'm crossing fingers for you! And hey, for me, too! lol I'm trying two new juices this week, too. But just to give you an idea. .. I tried 20 sampler bottles from one juice place, and did not want to even order a full sized bottle of one of them. TVR, I absolutely loved all 4 of the first 4 I tried. So worst case, even if you really only like one of em... that's a step in the right direction, at least. (crossing fingers)

 

[orachel]

Excellent news for all VG vapers!!! The Vapor Room sampler packs now seem to be available in 100% VG!! Hurrah! What a fabulous surprise that is, and I've been vaping TVR almost exclusively (a few from Virgin Vapor, all VG, organics thrown in the mix) and after many months, there's still a ton of flavors I'd love to try. So next time I have some $, gonna grab one of the 10 sample bottles 3ml packs, and try em all in one go.

Ok, so now just crossing fingers they add some sort of a 3 15ml bottle deal in the $20ish range, for when can't swing the 3 ounce for $42... and all my needs will be covered. Oh, hoping for a good 'strawberry shortcake' juice, too! I love the ones where you can taste the natural strawberry flavor, plus the cakey flavor. That would be another 'must keep in vaping stash at all times' one.

And my friend Marie, a brand new vaper, is joining ranks of happy TVR customers tomorrow, as well, so that's exciting. She's been smoking 30+ years... I got her set up with an ego kit and lots of samples for xmas, and now she's loving vaping as opposed to smoking. Very best thing you can do for smokers is hook them up with inexpensive ego knockoff, box of cartos, and a few juice samples, when gift times come around, imo... that way when they're ready to make the change for themselves, they're ready to rock and roll!

 

[mrrunon]

received my package today... i bought the tank, which did not come with instructions. i popped the condom and then the cap off.. poured the juice in, and stuck it into the atty... now the juice has completely leaked. wish it came with instructions.

 

[orachel]

mrrunon... if you hit me with a link to what you bought, I'll peek at it. I've used a ton of tanks, so hoping I can talk you thru it. Otherwise, I'm sure Josh or Jess will talk you thru process. There's directions all over here on tanks, but can't lead you to the right thing without knowing what you're up against. lol And trust me... anyone who's ever had a tank does that 'full load of juice all over the lap' thing once.. but only once. You poor thing... so sorry for the mess! But pretty sure I can help you.

I didn't know they had tanks, so I'm off to peek. If its just one or two, I might be able to figure out what you've got there.

Edit.
Oh dear, looks like only kind of tanks they have are those ego tanks, which I'm not experienced with. Found this on the site, though, and crossing fingers it helps! At the bottom of the page (takes a minute to load, since they're all videos) is a video showing how to fill those tanks. Hope it helps!
http://www.thevaporroom.net/tutorialvideos.html

And I got a pack of CE2 clearomizers once, hand no idea how to fill em. They did come with instructions... but they were in chinese! lol Took me 4 mos to figure em out, and only ended up getting it because I sent one to a clever vaper friend and begged him to work out to to use the darn things. For future reference, any time I got something new and weird from that time on, I did a youtube search for how to vids, first thing. lol Haven't had that much frustration from a vape thing since, thank goodness. Hoping you don't either, after this.

 

[mrrunon]

thanks, the problem is that the 510 atomizer i have does not puncture a hole into the tank.. so i can't use it.

 

[orachel]

Oh gosh! I'm so sorry... what a mess. I'd give Jess and Josh a quick call at TVR. I'm sure they can either lead you to the product you need to use your tank, or suggest something a little different. I have no clue whatsoever with those ego tanks, other than that many of them require very specific type ego kit to work properly. I'm a 510 resurrector carto 1.7ohm xl size in a carto tank girl, myself. But if you're ever looking for satisfying vape, without a lot of hassle, feel free to pm me and I can make some suggestions.

 

[ki77en]

I do not see an option for 100% vg. Is this s/thing you have to mention in the comment section at the end of the order?

 

[orachel]

You talking about the samplers? I know the '10 bottles of 3ml sampler' had a 100% VG option, but I didn't check the '5 bottles of 6ml' sampler. Possible that its not listed as an option on that one, but that doesn't necessarily mean its not available. You might wanna give Josh & Jess a call on that one, or use the 'ask a question' live help on their site. Even if they're not on live right then, they'll get back to you very quickly.

If you're talking about the regular juice... it should be in the dropdown menu for pg/vg options, with a $1 upcharge (because VG in normal sized (not sample) bottles comes in glass bottle). Its at the bottom of the PV/VG menu, says 100% VG (+$1)

 

[orachel]

mrrunon... I meant to message you yesterday, sorry! I wanted to see how you were doing with your odd tank, or if you found out it just won't work with your device. I've been interested in a vision product, called Vision 'Stardust' for ego, and I think they're pretty similar. I found out my main pv (a 510 device called Tox vv) won't work with those without a '510 to Ego' connector. Those connectors can be bought tons of places, and usually run about $4 or $5 dollars.. but they last forever. That's what allows some of the ego products to be used on regular 510 devices, so possible one of those might solve your issue.

Also, wanted to see if you tried any of your juices and (crossing fingers!) how you made out with them.

 

[ki77en]

You're right, it looks like the vg only option is only after 15ml which I usually try to avoid just b/c I don't know if I'm going to like it or not and I hate having a bunch of juice that is nasty tasting.
Think that blueberry crumble is tempting enough to get a 15ml, though.
Thx!

 

[orachel]

The Blueberry Cinn Crumble is one of my faves, along with Apple Pie, and Cinnamon Danish Swirl. Usually when I get the 3 bottle special... its those three i need to stock up on. lol Those 3 I just can't be without.

 

[mrrunon]

i ordered some dual coil cartos.. they work well and the juice is pretty good, though the bakery flavors are usually not my favorite. of the 4 juices i received, i would have to say the waffle has the strongest throat hit.

as far as whether i made out with my juices, i would say no.. i don't like the glyceriny feeling on my lips

overall this is a pretty good vendor when you consider the price/quality.

 

[orachel]

Oh bummer. Did you order the all VG? I have 2 friends who get all bg like me, but one who prefers much less VG and gets a lot of PG in hers, and the consistency is totally different. My friend Rick swears by TVR tobacco flavors. I'm usually not an 'automatically reach for tobacco' flavor girl, but he loves em. Anyway, whatever you do, I sure hope you find something you love, and with a lot less hunting than I had to do.

 

[mrrunon]

just noticed that apple pie has more throat hit than the graham cracker.. of the juices i got, it seems to have the least.

i want to try some new fruit flavors.. can't go out buying a bunch of more juice at the moment though. maybe in 2 weeks or so.

 

[orachel]

I'm with you on the budget thing. I'm crossing fingers a few of my faves show up in flavors of the week. Might have to give in and do a 3 bottle deal though... I'm at the very dribby drabs of my Apple Pie, and when that's gone... well, I won't be a happy camper, lets say. lol

As for the graham cracker... Um, verdict is still out on that one. I like it, but its not really a flavor I want to vape all day, yet. Might change considerably with some more steep time. The waffle... I think for someone who likes 'maple' flavored things it would be outrageous, but I'm more a butter and strawberry on waffles person. I think the maple might be throwing me off. I got a sample of the English Toffee... Now for me, a heath bar just about thrills me, so I was excited about it, but kinda nervous since I have't found a choco flavor at any vendor that I like at all. When I first vaped it... big yuck. All I was getting was a sort of kahlua choco liquor flavor. Not my fave. But then about 3 days later, I grabbed that carto by mistake, and now its amazing!! Definitely has that slight saltiness of toffee, and on the exhale is a very smooth milk chocolate flavor. Really weird, because I'm getting a somewhat creamy texture on the exhale. I like it! Can't believe I finally got a choco vape!!! But I will say the Apple Pie/Cinn Danish Swird are still my very faves.

Oh, btw, a friend I just got started vaping just ordered a 10 pack of samples and a few other things. She's trying mostly fruity flavors, so I'll see if I can get her to come here and tell us what she thinks of them. A few of the fruit flavors I've been dying to try, like the strawberry kiwi, strawberry and cream, and sun kissed. Oh, and my friend Rick (rickajho, here) got a sample of Peaches and Cream with his last order, which sounds amazing. That must be a new one. So crossing fingers!

 

[mrrunon]

i received a 3 ml juice bottle, 2 15 ml juice bottles, and 2 30 ml bottles.

my favorite was the 3 ml (strawberry kiwi, which has good throat hit and great flavor), and second was the 15 ml (apple pie), third was the 15 ml (dragonfruit), 4th and 5th were graham crackers and waffle (did not like either one).

out of the 5 flavors i tried, i would say the top 2 were keepers.. and the last 3 were not worth buying again. it's quite unfortunate that the ones i liked were in the smaller quantities.

must say again.. i'm really impressed with the strawberry kiwi juice.. the difference in throat hit is quite noticeable (it feels more like a cigarette).

 

[orachel]

Thats terrific, at least you found a few that you find vapable. My close friend just started vaping, and tried like 15 sample bottles, mostly fruity flavors. She liked the kiwi strawberry, but she REALLY liked the Sweet Strawberry, so you might like that as well. The graham cracker and the waffle didn't end up doing a whole lot for me, either. I can tell the juice is quality, but the flavors just aren't much for my taste, if that makes sense. I'm still addicted to my Cinnamon Danish Swirl, Apple Pie, and English Toffee.

As for throat hit, I just found these new things that are clearo type things, but gave super reliable performance and REALLY good throat hit. Best throat hit cartos I'd found before this were the 1.7ohm Smoktech Resurrectors (single coil) but those are cartos w filler. These new things (and I've only found them at one place so far) are the first 'clearo' or clearo tank I've ever been able to use well. I just never have good luck or consistent hit with the clear stuff, I might get a few great hits a day, but for the rest of time, they're just a pain....but these are amazing. They're inexpensive, compared to ego tank 'stardusts' and the like. I've had no issues with leaking or anything. Only problem I had was once when I screwed it on too tight, I got tiny pressure fracture cracks at the bottom. Still totally usable, barely cracks, but if you try them just don't torque them down tight on a device.. stop when you feel resistance and its secure on device. I know you'd tried the stardusts (ego clearo tanks) and I personally like these WAY better than those, or any other clear thing I've tried. What's remarkable is that they're amazing performers, even on a 3.2v ego.. wild throat hit, like freight train, and every hit is good, which I usually only get with filler cartos. Anyway, just figured I'd mention it since you tried the ego tanks, and these deliver a greater throat hit and better performance, at least for me... plus they're way cheaper. I tried em with TVR banana split juice in 100% VG, which normally has zero throat hit of its own, and it hit like you wouldn't believe. Felt like about a 4.5v hit on a 3.2v ego. Felt stronger than a 1.7ohm resurrector at 4.2v on a vv device. Check the reviews... that's what convinced me to take a chance on em. Mine is at the top, but you'll see a bunch of others. But in my experience, these vastly amplify throat hit in a juice without much of one.

[mrrunon]

so.. how was the throat hit on the sweet strawberry (or did your friend not tell you?)?

which juices have you tried that have good throat hit?
