I will confess that I am not #infected. I like Virus alright, but I probably won't reorder it when my 30ml is gone. I much prefer ACB, GCD, and Wakonda.

Same with me...:blush: GCD and Strawnilla all day every day.

See Hsmith? You will not be alone if it doesn't become the most wonderful juice you've ever tried. :thumb:

I'm in the ICU, got the Virus bad......:p nurse, nurse..... refill please..... :D my favorite!

I have to admit, I like most all of them I have tried, some just better than others. But the Virus is always in in one Reo and every time I order I get more. There is certainly something for everyone at Nicoticket!

Infected!!!

I'm #infected, but I like it FOOB and wasn't really a fan of the bottle I had that steeped to the point that it tasted like pipe tobacco. It was really good pipe tobacco and I probably would have given up cigs for pipe tobacco that tasted like that, but I like the FOOB even more. Fortunately there wasn't much left in that bottle and another was on the way so I was able to suffer through without having to quit the virus completely for an extended period (I would consider 2 hrs to be an extended period:D).

Like everyone says, it does change and does so pretty quickly so and it takes very small additions of other flavors to change it. If you didn't try it with a fresh wick in an empty tank then you may not have gotten a true taste.

I like it FOOB, too - i just crack one and load it up.

little of my past experience as to why I'm not impressed-I recently bought a bottle of Boss Reserve 4% from a local retailer and was recommended to me. It has this maple taste to it and it rich smelling..was the most horrid after taste though, I literally gave the $30 bottle away to my father in law. I usually lurk get ideas on good juices from consensus, and Virus took the prize for most votes, most talked about, at least in my search. Now I use a Sigelei 30 watt box mod, and vape at the max 30 watts. So to the present, I bought 4% The Virus, and ACB they arrived today so no steep time. I pulled off the cap and it smelled just like Boss Reserve.. i was in total shock and disbelief.. Surely these juices won't taste the same.. NO WAY bobas bounty would lose to a Boss Reserve type taste in juice of the year. Well it is almost exactly the same for me.. One thing tho the mix of this maple taste is far less atrocious then the Boss Reserve I gave away. I literally could not even vape that stuff, but the taste of this is on the same line..BUT the biggest hype is how it evolves with the steeping period so lets hope that holds true. The ACB smells dang near the same but I haven't tasted it yet. So I wan't to know do any of you who just absolutely love this juice, were any of you just as big into Bobas at one time? Cause i just cant see how its better, different but Bobas seems more a category of its own i guess IMO.

Not giving up on the Virus, just sorely disappointed that this was the taste that the rave was about. My ADV's are Cereal Killa, Bobas Bounty.. But Cereal Killa i just cant put down. I honestly just dont think I'm a fan of this maple, that may be all there is to it.:unsure:
edit: sorry using Atlantis Aspire .5 ohm coil RTA on my 30 watt Siegelei
also no longer waiting on Provari need to figure out to change that lol, Provari served its time for a few years.

I'm kinda meh with the Virus (ducks to avoid RTG's swing)...I'll happily vape it, but it's not an ADV for me. ACB on the other hand I love...
Then there's the Wakonda. A stellar vape. Radioactive is just supreme as well!

I'm curious though, Hsmith. and I haven't read the whole thread, just your post. But how long have you been vaping and what has your "cycle" or "pattern" of vaping been so far? Also, what equipment are you using?

And before I forget!

I agree with Megs set it aside and revisit it later...I like mine down the road after I have had it for some time :)

for me ACB doesnt hit for me till it gets a deep steep then all the flavor pours forth...fresh its muted, but man when it ages it gets yum yum :)

This is absolutely true! I just hit some very well steeped ACB and, from the first hit, it was amazing. Perhaps the best juice I have tasted in a very long time. I will continue to do the deep steep. I think I have about 240ml in the steep drawer and another 120ml on the way. It is soooo goooood!

Virus? I love it all the way through it's morphs. Deep steep is also delicious if you can get it to last that long. I am pretty well stocked on Virus as well. Some is about 18 months old and still very, very good. However, it is 18mg and it blew the top of my head off when I loaded it in the Reo without checking the strength. I will mix it with some 6mg to tone it down and vape it in a tank with a 1.5Ω head so as to keep my head on. LOL

Well my comparison of bobas is what got me into this maple flavor, it is one of my adv rotations and i was hoping someone who really enjoyed it like i did and raved about this Virus could enlighten me.. and they have! 3 days later and i really like this stuff. The taste SIGNIFICANTLY changed in just one day.. There was no after taste even similar to that off brand maple i tried (Boss Reserve). And what made me go back to it an try it sooner was that ACB was outstanding out of the bottle and had a similar smell, i was shocked.. So next day I filled up with virus and refilled.. and repeated.. I think i do enjoy and i could easily call it an adv as of now. Now i just dont know what to grab for to refill virus or acb >< I'm very impressed at how the flavor changed in such a short period. I hadn't vaped that boss but one time and was a week or so prior so couldn't have been a lingering taste, this stuff just changes.. So i dont like the first stage but appears i love it a day after :) VOID FIRST POST

edit: first taste was a super strong maple that was really alike to the one i hated. Second day the maple was backed with like some german choclate cake taste that really tune down the maple after taste i wasn't digging.. So yeah maybe some may not be into this flavor but it does change and worth trying a few times in different stages before writing it off.

You are forgiven, Hsmith! :laugh:
I was the same way with The Virus -- at first I did not know what to make of it, my brain just could not compute! By day 3, I craved it. I still like it fresh best, but my husband loves it steeped --- YMMV!
ACB is my absolute favorite liquid ever, on the planet, in the universe, ever. :laugh: The warm caramel goodness just can't be beat! If you get a juice that needs smoothing out, ACB will fix it for you, 9 times out of 10.
Order more of both before you run out. Never, ever let yourself run out! You will be so sorry when all you have to vape is your old stuff!

yeah even my cereal killer is tasting a lil weak.. Like decaffeinated coffee when you want the real deal i keep going back for this stuff. Very interested in other juices from Nicoticket as well. this ACB is really really good, will grab more of it up for sure, and by that time I should be properly infected for the virus :) thanks for feedback, didn't realize that many didnt like this flavor right off the rip.
