11 KBV Juices and A Highly Disappointed Self

[Christopherdav1d]

If you're liking KBV's juices, I can wholeheartedly recommend tastyvapor.us to you too. Very complicated and IMO "spot on" flavors there too. The only thing that makes TV harder to try is that they don't have the smaller, cheaper, sample bottles. You have to buy a full one ounce bottle to shop there. That said, I haven't gotten a flavor from them yet that I "hated". So none will go to waste here. It's like you said, tastes vary and some of their flavors are just not my style. I am always able to say "yuppers... that's what it says on the label" when I have vaped them.

I've got a big lot coming from juicyvapor right now too. I'll let you guys and gals know what I think next week early on, when they arrive.

I used TastyVapor for a while until I saw a post by them stating that they use Nicotine that it not Pharmacutical grade. It was almost there exact words saying that they don't have high quality Nic. And it makes sense because I get 12mg juices, and I've gotten liquids from them that had such a harsh TH that I couldn't vape them. Usually that tends to happen if the nicotine isn't great quality. The reason they gave is because the higher quality stuff is more expensive, and or they have to buy it in higher quantity which they have no means of storing.

I was pretty sure TV uses 99.8% pure nic from a chemical supply company and cuts it from there. From my understanding, Geoff has a full lab setup for his juice mixing and cutting. I really appreciate the offer Chris and will send ya my address to see if the RCT is any diff from you. If so, I will redo my review and mark it as a bottling issue.

Thanks again

I have 3 vendors whose juices I REALLY REALLY like and each has pros and cons as well as 'what they do best'.

1. Backwoods Brew (BWB) Tobacco flavors are simply THE BOMB! Most of their juices are very subtle and throat hit is usually mid range. Customer service, prices, and speed of delivery are very good. JUICES MUST STEEP AT LEAST 2 WEEKS-no getting around it.

2. Tasty Vapor (TV) Desserts are good with TV. Flavors are very pronounced and usually the name of the juice is the flavor that is tasted when vaped. Throat hit is SUPER! Customer service (live) as well as prices are very good. No steeping necessary.

3. Kick Bass Vapor (KBV) Dessserts are good as well as some tobaccos. Flavors vary in intensity. I've found that some flavors need sweetners. Sometimes the name of the juice is better than the taste. Good customer service (ordering through email can be a little tricky), speed of delivery and very good pricing. ONCE AGAIN YOU GOTTA LET 'EM STEEP 2 WEEKS/MORE.

If after steeping one finds that they don't care for the 1st and 3rd vendors, I'd have to conclude that that particular juice just isn't for them.

We must have similar tastes in juices. I couldn't have said it better myself. Spot on GWTW. For me, it's the Chinese juices that I just can't develop a taste for. I have tried many of them in an effort to save money on juice and always ended up giving them away because I couldn't stand them. Must be the 100% PG or something. I prefer the homebrews with 80/20 up to 50/50 PG to VG ratios. As a bonus, the more VG... the better the vapor and cooler the vape is on a LR Atty. Though I don't vape at LR much anymore (except when a juice tastes particularly good at a lower voltage) I'm noticing that LR doesn't help many of my juices at all.

Anyway, those are three of my favorite juices too. I would add Alien Visions, decadent vapours and juicyvapor to your list of places to try for good solid flavors. I have also had a couple that I liked from TTT and NHaler (high voltage line).

I also tried every single one of Pure Smoker's tonic line when I first bought my Prodigy. Didn't care much for any of them. I'm thinking it had to do with the PG heavy mix on them too. I will say that Curtis' Coffee, Cloves, Firecracker, Fire and Ice, and Silver Leaf Tobacco are vapes that I still enjoy occasionally from them.

After reading this thread, I would suggest that you try some of Pure Smokers juices or find some other PG heavy line and see if they appeal to you more. It might help you figure some things out about your taste in juices and save you some money in the long run.

Thanks for all the input Vapin'

I love juice threads. I don't have any trouble picking my mods, atty's, etc. But, there are just too many vendors/juices out there to find the good ones all by yourself. I find people that like something that I like and try the other things they are recommending. I seem to have a much better success rate that way than I did when I tried to pick them by their vendor descriptions.

Then I pay the ones I don't like forward to someone else, so they don't go to waste. Most are 3-6 ml sample bottles the first time I try them anyway.

Thanks for saving me money Y060N. I don't get how they have such a good rep. Do you think it was a bad batch?

Everyone has different likes and dislikes. For a lot of them I can't imagine they would be enjoyable to me at double flavor. A few yes, but I know from experience that I ordered the Crumb Donut at double flavor and totally ruined it. Plus, every supplier has a different base and it may be the base that doesn't agree with the original poster's tastebuds. I find that most of their juices are excellant. So Aaron, try a few yourself and see.

I thought juice reviewers tried juices for themselves & then reported what they find?

KBV isn't for everyone, but they do have some flavors which I enjoy quite a bit.
