I love the vaping community. I was really intrigued by Herbal Dose and since I couldn't find much info on them online, and for some reason the links on their website don't work for me, I decided to follow them on Instagram. Today much to my surprise, I see a post that is just text. I start reading it and lo and behold it's my Rose Candy review/observations that I posted on here! LOL be careful what you post, EVERYONE is watching. :D I felt rather honored that they liked what I said enough to post it to their Instagram. Here is the link for their page if anyone wants to follow them on there:

Yes ranking this month was hard, seems the better they hit your flavor profile, the harder it is....Miss Samoa is delicious...absolutely....I have a hard time enjoying chocolate flavored vapes since most are poorly executed and taste burnt or off after an hour vaping, this one doesn't have that nasty burnt chocolate taste at all and it doesn't develop either, stays true and the roasted coconut and caramel accent it perfectly, it's a fantastic rendition of Samoan cookies. I really hope I get Ariel as my curator again, she nailed it, I want to see if she can do so again, this has been my best box. I can see why they used your review on instagram, it was very well written and descriptive, I think that write up alone would get people interested in trying a non traditional flavor like that, I don't know but I find your reviews better than most vendor descriptions....more thorough and unbiased, you do reviews on juicedb? You should consider it if you have the time.

Hey guys looking for suggestions. I am glad CV is working out for all of you. I trying to decide if I want to renew. Every box I get I only like one of the juices. Even though that one is always amazing. Also my June box was super late. Never got a shipping notice but it did eventually come. I'm just wondering if it's worth it. And I always do those best of box things but I never get a tester.

Here's what I would tell you. Only you can decide if this is "worth it". For me, it definitely is. I am a flavor chaser and I love trying new juices. CV weeds out all the crap and sends top quality juice that in MOST cases I really love. Are there times I don't? Of course, no one is ever going to have 100% success on curation. However, I have tasted juices that I LOVE which I would never have discovered or thought to order. I KNOW I'm spending less money than if I went willy nilly over the internet trying interesting juices. The key, and I mean this really seriously, is to communicate. The more feedback you give, the more you tweak your profile, the more detailed your comments, the more likely you are to get juices you love. It's a two-way street, they can't possibly read your mind (although they're working on that telepathy option for contact still). I have gotten juices I like less than others but I have NEVER gotten anything unvapeable. Then of course is the unbelievable customer service. For me all that adds up to worth it!!!!

I've really been enjoying Miss Samoa too.. and I'm usually on the fence with chocolate vapes and HATE caramel. However, the cookies IRL.. I can eat a box of them like it's my job, so I was actually pretty excited to receive this flavor. Loaded it up in my REO and WOW, this is as close to eating an actual Samoa as a vape is ever gonna get. I LOVE it. I also have their Fauxstess Cupcakes, but haven't tried it yet.

I finally made up my mind about my #bestofthebox It took a while to decide. I think for sure, the Rose Candy is the best juice. It's a pretty intense flavor so not an ADV though. I would only vape this if I'm in the mood. Here's a good example of going outside the profile to good results. I have candy as a YUK. This is definitely a candy vape. I'm glad I got this. Even if it's a bit too candy-ish to vape all day. It ended up being my favorite this month. The Freemason's Elixir Justice was pretty good, although another candy flavor. I guess sometimes there's a fine line between candy and fruit flavors. This was apple/nango gummy. It was a good fruit flavor, but again. a bit candy-ish to be an ADV. Another one for an "in the mood" situation. The last one was the Vaping Bidry Parakeet. Meh. It had promise, I loved the idea of a green apple pie, but it's not great,even after letting it steep a couple of weeks. It has a weird taste I don't like so much.

baseballmom - Wow, thank you for your kind words. I'm glad someone appreciates my ramblings about juice. I really love to write, and sometimes I get a bit blabby, lol. Thanks for your encouragement!

So yeah, I did that, and:
For real I think DNA's the Jeffe might be my favorite juice of all time period. It's all gone now, gonna hafta buy more at some point soon.

Midas RY4: Better than Dekang but meh, flavor is too light no matter what I do.

El Jefe - I agree completely. It is one of the best tobaccos I've ever tried. I also got the Midas RY4 last month, and in a tank/kayfun type setting the flavor tasted really muted, but dripping I enjoyed it on a .5-.7 ohm build. The vanilla wasn't really there, but caramel and tobacco was.

Edit: I really dislike hangsen and dekang ry4s. They're bland and boring. I tried them both at a vape shop, they just tasted like dirt to me.

I tried dripping the Freemason's Elixir Justice three different times, wanting, no - trying to like it. Too much like SweetTarts for my tastes. Now I can't find the bottle. No great loss, I guess...

Yeah, I'm just not a big candy person. I liked the flavor well enough, but I prefer my fruit flavors more natural.

I have an RDA in the mail, I'll see what I think when I get it running well.

They really are super @ CV. I just talked to Meriweather and I think we have tweaked my profile so that I get the juices I like. I am also a tester now. So thank you CV!! They really are great at customer service.


Yay, now wasn't that easy? I'm so glad you took talked to them. Everytime I have dealt with them on any kind of issue, they have always bent over backward to make right. I bet you can't wait to see your next box.

You're right. I really can't wait. I know it's going to be great. Thank you all for all your help!
