Craft Vapery: Curated and Personalized E-Liquid Service

[faitaccompli]

I emailed Josh back with the items that I wanted to purchase. He got back to me right away, charged the card on file, and said he would ship today. I asked him for some advice on 26650 mods (as I am looking to get one soon) and he gave me a list of his favorites and why he likes them. Truly, you have to love a company with such customer service!

Got 2 shipping notices tonight. One is the order I placed from the store... So the other must be my box! Early early! Yay! crossing my fingers that I have made the tester list. Really curious about blackbird.

They're here!

So I requested a nutty vape every month, and I told them how much I also loved Sweet Tooth from Alpha Vapes, so let's see what we get!

Praliine Dream from Ballistic Vape: Smells fantastic, just my kind of sweet, nutty, rich vape. I'm super excited for this one.

Mudslide from 7th and Grand: I heard about this one here, and I kinda sorta hinted that I'd be happy to try it, and here it is! Smell is a bit alcoholish, I may have to steep this one, but I'm still excited to try it!

23 Skidoo from Ragtime Vapor: I do enjoy a good custard, it smells awesome. I'm afraid I might compare it to Cell Block Four and wish it had something else to it, but I'll definitely give it an honest try.

Delish from Sweet Tooth E-juice: Supposed to be like a root beer float. Smells just like root beer, super excited to try this one. I'll either love it or hate it I think.

I didn't get my tester, but I got an email saying that it was shipped yesterday, so I may get it tomorrow. Back later with out of the box taste reviews!

 

[Schwiggiddy]

So I'll do a quick review in the order I've tasted them:

23 Skidoo: tasty, creamy, custardy vape, very good. I may have to mix something with it, I'm afraid it might be a little boring after a bit, but still very good.

Mudslide: I definitely get a bit of an alcohol taste, maybe it's supposed to have that? Like Kahlua? Taste is good, and I expect it will improve over time. Gonna steep.

Delish: mmm root beery-! I don't get much vanilla off it, really just tastes like those root beer barrel candies with a hint of creamy vanilla. It'll steep naturally and probably improve. Heck it might mix nicely with 23 Skidoo.

And I saved Praline Dream for last, because I thought it might linger on my dripper, and because I'll probably keep vaping it after testing it, based on how great it smells. Here goes:
Sweet, rich, smooth. Really well-balanced flavor, and just as described: Sugary, buttery praline.

All in all, I'm maybe not quite as blown away as I was with my first box (and I'll assume that's normal), but all of them are good; smooth and good vapor production. I'll #BOTB after more testing.

I got my shipping and I'm not close to an A, maybe they are switching out the days people get shipped?

 

[TheProphet]

Just got my shipping notice. Of course, my email was full so I don't have the tracking number -.- I'll message CV and ask them to resend it.

 

[koriandjon]

Yay got my shipping notice. I am so excited.

 

[Schwiggiddy]

Yay for all of you! I'm feeling kinda lonely being the only one sharing my stuff. Part of the fun for me is seeing what you guys get, and wondering how I can get that! Jake must have been really on the ball getting my box together.

I wonder if I'm being too demanding in my flavor notes.

"I love tropical flavors. I absolutely ADORE custards and baked goods. I like Lemon flavors, especially the Yellow Submarine tester I'd gotten last month. I also adore Key Lime Pie, but it doesn't agree with my stomach, so if I could find a good key lime vape instead that would be awesome. I'm a lover of Unicorn's Mil, so a fruit custard flavor sounds fantastic, like a lemon custard or something similar."

Naah, my notes are extremely detailed.

@Schwiggiddy Praline Dream is one of my favorites from CV. I thought it was a bit too subtle but soo good.

Wow I just googled Frisco Ashbury and that sounds good. i don't usually go for tea in my vape but that might actually be really good.

 

[faitaccompli]

Might? That stuff is among my absolute favorite vapes!

I have had a banner day here. Got both of my CV packages, just finished watching my Hogs run it up against a good non-conference opponent, and i may have found a new favorite berry custard in the CRFT strawberry blonde. Roxie said it was her favorite in her note, and i can see why! This stuff is money! The London Bridges was also very interesting and good. So a very good day for me!

GO CV! And go Hogs! Woo Pig Sooie!

Your box sounds great Faitaccompli! Cant wait to hear what you think of each one...
I am hoping my box will be full of custardy goodness too.

I got sent the missing bottle from my first box (promised tester missing though), it was Blueberry Waffle by Holy Grail Elixir.
This was my first blueberry flavour and I hope it is my last.
The blueberry in different setups ranges in taste between natural blueberries and blueberry bubblegum, the waffle part for me was dreadful, it tasted like it had been cooked too long. The overall flavour was like burnt cotton (the taste made me have to check my coils).
Tried it in a Kayfun, a single coil magma and a dual coil vulcan, all had the same burnt taste along with some form of blueberry. Really not my cup of tea.

Hopefully I have enough Emperor Penguin & Trey Trey to get me through this tough period of waiting for my new box to arrive.

I got that same bottle last month and still hate it...TOBH, Magma, Kayfun doesn't matter it just doesn't taste good. It was the second best bottle in my box last month not counting the tester! I've got to get over to the trade forum soon! Maybe you should pick up a small amount of DIY stuff to work with in between boxes. Inawera makes some really nice stuff that works well for single flavors.

That sounds like an awful box you got last month! It was 2nd??? Wow. Bad times.

I am glad I am not alone with my lack of love for the Blueberry Waffle. I have got a bottle of Boardwalk's Mugshot to get through too, it still tastes like dish-washing liquid, but no bubbles blown so far.

Sounds like trading is a good way to go, I usually just give mine away to a vaping friend that doesn't seem to possess any sense of taste. (Girlfriends included)

What kind of flavor is the tester?

 

[John Blaze]

I have Holy Grail Elixir Blueberry Waffle. I actually thought it was pretty good. Probably the best blueberry flavor I had yet. Its a gunker though. Didn't get any burning or cotton notes from it.

 

[faitaccompli]

What kind of flavor is the tester?

Not sure. I think it is supposed to be a tea vape. I gave it a quick test, but my cotton was holding another flavor a bit. So i am going to fresh wick and give it a full review in both dripper and tank.

Honestly, i am really digging the London Bridges right now. Very interesting and good.
