Bad Batches?

[MightyWhighty]

This isn't about any hate on VR, I've been vaping their juices 99% of the time for years. My all day has been Kentucy Vanilla Blend for that entire time. I've been getting some bad batches from them this year. One today, one last month. The first bad batch just tasted like nicotine with a hint of vanilla. The 2nd is a very very light PKB taste, nicotine, and a hint of mint. I'm thoroughly confused.

I buy the juice by 60ml twice a month, so when I have one bad bottle it gets rather disappointing. Is this only happening to me?

Hello MightyWhighty, Sorry if you got a batch that was not to your liking, it does happen from time to time. Burn out of a flavor, steep time, cartos, clearos to name a few variables in the mix. If you think you may have got the wrong flavor or a bad bottle let us know, you can hit the new RMA from your order history and have it replaced. Thank you, The VR Team.

I honestly don't care about getting my money back, though thanks for having an RMA process, I'd just like to know that I'll be getting the superb quality that I've been getting for years. I'll be happy to order again if you think that'll help.

Same here. Although I have only ordered from Vermillion about 1.5 months ago, it was my favorite juice vendor by far already.

I ordered 30ml of the KPB Vanilla which had a nice sort of creamy maple waffle cone taste which was AMAZING. Then went to my local B&M and purchased 2 15mL bottles of KPB and Applewood which was great too. So once I finished all 3 bottles (in less than 2 weeks) I ordered again (4/1/13) from Vermillion. This time the juices taste exactly how you described. Says it was 3/12/13. Which is about the same time frame as OP.

I had messaged Vermillion but no response yet. Quite disappointed as I thought I had found my go to vendor. If i can get that same flavor again as my original order about a month and a half ago, I'd be more than happy.

VR did reply to this thread and said they have an RMA process now. I've been vaping VR exclusively for 2 years in the type of cartos, so it was heart breaking when I started getting bad batches. I ordered another bottle since I started this thread, at least it was Red this time (my previous bad batches was a transparent orange), but it still tasted bad. I've moved onto other vendor sites sadly, but I'll revisit VR in a few months, maybe they'll figure out what was wrong.

Again, this isn't a hate thread VR, I'm a big big fan, I just can't trust the quality right now. Hope you work things out.

I really hate to see this. I had ordered for the first time awhile back and really liked it. Planned on placing another order and trying other flavors but am now afraid to order again.

Please don't be scared by my comment, I've just been having problems with the Kentucky blends, the rest of them I've never been displeased with.

Unfortunately that is what I wanted to order. Does anyone know if the problem has been fixed?

I've vaped practically nothing but the Kentucky blends for the past 6 months and have never had an issue, but I do live about 20 minutes from the store and buy directly from there. I don't know anything about it but I'd imagine there's no accounting for what happens to juice sitting in a mailbox in a 120 degree Arizona desert, or a 30 below Minnesota mailbox for that matter.

 

[skydragon]

I am surprised that Old Guss has not been back to say anything.

 

[rcbell.N51]

VR has been incredibly busy lately. I haven't been in there when there wasn't at least 5 other people there for more then a month now, and I swear there were 20 people in there when I went last week.

*update

Vermillion actually switched me with new bottles of KPB and KPB Vanilla. ...Perfect as the first time...


Great customer service. Gonna place another order very soon.

I'm currently using Kentucky blend from there too. I think its really good, but I also haven't tried much juice from anywhere else. I have some stuff ordered from MtBaker and ECBlends. How do you think the quality of flavors from there compare to VR?

I love the Kentucky Cherry & Applewood flavors.
But haven't had much luck with the non tobacco ones.
Good thing the other ones were samples!

I've never had ECBlends but MtBaker is NOT even close in quality

I think both those sites lack the creativity that VR has. I don't want to bring up other creative liquid companys since this is the VR forums.

This is the only juice I've been purchasing for the last year and a half and I have yet to have a bad batch. But, I don't order Vanilla. Kinda bored today so just stating my experience. I don't dare try any other liquids because I've tried a lot and nothing comes close! This is my personal taste though, to each their own

Glad to hear my bad batch problem sounds like an isolated one. I'm like you, I stick to my core favorites and haven't changed in years.

VR has IMO the best baco juice. BUT something wonky has been goin on with the Ken. vanilla it went from this-->"KPB Vanilla which had a nice sort of creamy maple waffle cone taste which was AMAZING" to a more subtle aka less flavorful vape. I have been thru ten 30ml bottles 5 from VR, 5 from e cig crib 16mg. I have kept track of taste and color over 4weeks on each 30ml from both sites and used a carto,and a RBA for my vapeing. Kentucky vanilla DID change and the taste of the juice is way off from where it was in April when I first tried and fell in love with this juice. I did find an alternative to KPB van. but it is not the same as the Original which I so dearly miss.

Hi Hoka, Wow, 10 30ml's in 4 months, I think your taste buds are getting burned out. I use KPB all day and almost everyday. The darker juice is simply older that the lighter, and with KVB the darker is a lot better, smoother and a richer flavor. Swing down to our store if you ever get the chance and we can get you fixed up. Thank you, The VR Team.
