We have more
juice than any human(s) should own at any given point. Seriously.
We only have two 10ml bottles of VV. The Kona Coffee and I believe the Blueberry Swirl stuff.
To be blunt, this forum is so filled with people who have barely posted (ourselves included), or state that they haven't tried things but have specific questions, that we're always a bit wary about what is a comment and what is a "social advertisement." We honestly don't mean any offense toward you....and yes, we're just a couple in NJ a couple months into quitting smoking.
We also feel similarly about descriptions and advertising. Sort of like infomercials that promise the world and end up what your gut instinct should have thought -- "umm, look a piece of crap!" So any mentions of "organic" or "natural" in eJuice land strike both our curiosity and concern at the same time. But often enough curiosity wins out. At least enough to buy a couple samples.
In regard to VV, this is what we can say honestly -- they are one of the few where the flavors actually both smelled and tasted like what they said they were. That's a rarity. We have so much juice to still sample, and a few go-to's definitely that are not from VV.
But we definitely "get" why people like the Kona. Similarly, the Blueberry more than anything tastes for lack of a better word, authentic. The Kona isn't for me on an ongoing basis, though I think I would like it at a higher voltage more so. For her, she's just not into anything but Menthol, so she "understood and appreciated it (read as: "Neat!" vs. "Why did you just give me that?") but it wasn't what satisfied her. In regard to the Blueberry it was something I had to try, didn't expect to like long term and was actually positively surprised. It would be something I'd want every now and then though. Usually it's either "Hate it!" or "Love it!" This was a rarity. I actually would want it around time to time When I say that, it means a lot. So for both it was sort of like Jazz. Appreciation of what it is, but lust for someone else out there.
It's only two flavors, but VV gets kudos for that primary reason. We've bought so much juice where there might be something to like in many, but there's so often some little (or big) aspect that is an instant turn-off.
It could be an off-putting taste. It could be a medicinal or chemical flavor that you think will disappear with steeping but doesn't. It could be a dryness. It could be overpowering. It could be one flavor overpowering another rather than blending as a whole. It could be that <something> that just makes it feel like trying, like if you were left with just that one flavor forever, that you'd just quit
vaping.
What we can say about the two flavors of VV we've tried -- they are the opposite of what disgusts us and what we can appreciate, but might not be our "everyday vape." We hope the remainder of their flavors remain true to that feeling. But with two samples, it gave us hope vs. the feeling of "never going to buy from that vendor again.."
Once we can thin down the amount of juice we have...to the point of even trying everything we have, we certainly will try a few more flavors. But the fact that we have great appreciation (or any appreciation!) for flavors that aren't our go-to flavors -- that's almost puts them in the highest regard from us.
TL;DR - The snozzberries tasted like snozzberries and we give respect to VV.
