I got my 5 ml sample of Bandit Berry today, and OH MY GOODNESS!!

It is truly as berry-explosion, super-clean, yummy smooth as everyone said it was!!! (Not that I doubted any of you, of course . . . :D)

I'm vaping it in a (purple, of course) WoW carto on an XL manual; it will be a struggle not to vape the whole dang 5 mls in one day!:blush:

I only get a hint of nice, pure tobacco on the inhale; the berry just explodes onto my tongue and lips upon impact, and lingers nicely. The throat hit at 12mg is very slight, which is perfectly fine by me for a fruity vape (others might miss it at this low nicotine level).

I am definitely ready to try the Colonel Caramel and the Outlaw Apple!!

I LOVE you, V4L!!
I HATE you, V4L!
I LOVE you, V4L!
:laugh::laugh::laugh:


:facepalm: (I am NEVER gonna break even, now we have these fab new USA juices . . .)

P.S. -- Per Loveridden's suggestion, if you want to make this the "generic reaction thread" to Bandit Berry, I'm fine with that. :)

Thanks for the review Eleanor!

What suggestion did I make???

Do u have colonel caramel or outlaw apple....cuz...ya know....if ya don't, I can trade a few mls.....lol


:oops: Um . . . wasn't it you who suggested we (sample-receiving, ordinary folk) should put our reviews of each under a separate thread, each dedicated to its own USA flavor? :blink::blink:

As for CC and OA . . . Funny you should mention that. :D I just ordered 30mls of each (along with 30ml of Bandit Berry) tonight, to take advantage of the Beatclock sale! :)

I don't post anymore, but came out of the woodwork to praise the sample of Bandit Berry V4L (12mg) was kind enough to send me.

Good vapor, good initial taste, even better mid and aftertaste. It's a very interesting combination, can't quite isolate a dominant flavor, as they all blend very well together. Although I am primarily a Smilin Special Premium and Cool menthol vapor, I always have either Grape, Blueberry, or KiwiAppleStrawberry around for a nice change of pace - kind of my after-dinner "aperitif". These have traditionally been a little too candy tasting, which is why I don't use them very much. Bandit Berry on the other hand, is a much better balance of flavor - without anything in particular coming on too strong. For those who love a lot of the fruit flavors, it might not be fruity enough. For those who don't particularly like fruit flavors, it is def worth a try. There is a tobacco background to the entire vaping cycle, but does not overpower the delicate fruit flavors on top. One other point, it is thin enough to drip and top off easily (one of my dislikes of the WOW line - too much VG, too viscous, more of a pain to refill).

My congratulations to V4L, I can tell you spent a lot of time tweaking this one, outstanding job. I will definitely be getting more of this. Now, if I could just try the Peacemaker Peppermint? It wasn't offered in the promo, love to see you roll out some more sample options (not to inflame the V4L sub forum death squad, just asking politely).

Well???What do you think???

My first Impressions of V4L’s new Nobacco Bandit Berry 18mg. Juice

1. Beautiful Amber colored Juice
2. Quite Thick Liquid
3. slowly absorbs into the polyfill of the carto.
4. smells great!

I was immediately tempted to put the carto on a fresh battery and start vapeing like mad, but I forced myself to wait until I was absolutely sure that the carto had sat long enough to allow all those great juices to completely saturate the polyfil. (sometimes great things take a while to happen, but they always bring joy to those who wait!)

The wait was unbearable, but I finally decided to screw the carto onto my Passthru. From the very first deep drag I was totally Blown away by the Luscious Wild Berry Flavor! My first tastes were the berry flavors and upon exhale I could definitely taste the tobacco. Do I detect the taste of Wild Blackberry? There definitely is the flavor of Blueberry in it.

When exhaling through my nose, the berry scent is extremely prominent, although there is a slight hint of tobacco. The throat hit from this juice flavor is Great! I would rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 as a 4 .5.

This is a wonderfully sweet flavor, as far as I am concerned it is just perfect for my tastes. I personally do not care for overly sweet tasting liquids; so V4L hit a Home Run in this department!

I have now put the PT and carto down for a couple of hours so that I may re-access my findings and to hear some feedback from my wife on what she thinks of the smell of it as I vape.

Well, my wife finally got home from work, so I can do some more testing and see what she thinks. My taste buds have also rested for a few minutes and I have eaten several saltine crackers to purge any tastes of my Peacemaker Peppermint from my mouth.

My wife commented: “It smells like fruit, it is a bit strong smelling and I smell Tobacco in it.”

So now it is on with the tedious and extremely tough job of testing the Bandit Berry Juice!

After quite some time of testing the juice, I find that my initial findings still stand. I’m really loving the flavor in the new USA Bandit Berry Nobacco 18 mg. Juice!

Ok here's my 'lil review lol

Just tried it today, received a sample from V4L 5 ml in the 12 mg nic level. Upon first inhale and every inhale after, it is a berry explosion in your mouth like Eleanor said lol. I definitely taste blackberry in it, and other berries as well. It reminds me strongly of a certain cereal I loved as a kid and still love as an adult lol: Captain Crunch Mixed Berries, where the berries are different colors and flavors, not just red ones, but red, blue, purple, etc. It is sweet with tobacco undertones. Good vapor production, not too much of a throat hit at 12 mg but that is fine with me, but there is one. Flavor is very yummy, makes me hungry lol.
