Craft Vapery: Curated and Personalized E-Liquid Service

[catmomma]

okay got my box all straightened out. Called CV and talked to Roxy, who, btw, is just the sweetest thing in the world! She is gonna replace my damaged juice, but they don't have any more in 6mg. so I'm going to try Herbal Dose Hollyweird and ...she's sending me some of the coffee tester! Yay! I'm now a very happy camper. so here is what I got:

Tasty Cloud vape Co. Skyline - Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but that's the one that spilled so I can only report that it smells pretty good.

Mojo Vapor - Smooth Mojo A smooth tobacco with caramel and toasted almond

Lost Art Liquids - The Bees Kneez Honey Nut Cheerieos- My first foray into breakfast cereals and all I can say is it smells amazing.

I'm loving the cards!! It's also a cool way to keep track of what you have tried. Love them.

Oh no I am so sorry you have been wanting that PUDC forever. Maybe next month they can send you out another one and the cap will stay on. Did you lose the whole bottle? Maybe you can salvage a tank? What is the Hollyweird supposed to taste like? I'm glad that you guys on the east coast are starting to get your boxes now. I want to do my best of the box but need to wait to get my replacement flavor as I only have 2 right now that are vapeable. I do have to revisit my flavors though and say my Candied Berries is the best one I got. It's amazing and I am already over half way through my bottle.

I think I can get maybe half a tank our of the bottle. The mailman must have been juggling the box, honestly. Thank goodness everything was wrapped in bubble wrap cause I had juice all over everything. No worries, the m&ms made it. I don't mind so much that it's a goner, it was just not meant to be. The Hollyweird is an amaretto vanilla custard. I was so intrigued with their Rose Candy that I wanted to try something else from them. I am a die-hard Custard's Last Stand fan, so we will see, plus amaretto sounds great with custard. I'm glad you are loving the Candied Berries!

Of all the juices to leak, the PUDC, sorry to hear this, you have been craving for so long too That sort of sucks big time.

My box arrived, got..
1) The Beez Kneez(Lost Art Liquids)
2) NY Cheesecake(Five Star Vape Juice)
3) Belgian Breakfast(Black Label)
4) Tester-Piggies(a chocolate donut flavor), glad I got this one, did anyone else get this one?
Curator-Meriweather, liking her, she really seems to get my tastes

Love the cards and information on them, ratios, flavor profile, think it really is something to set CV apart from the other sub services; I like seeing the info ....easier than doing my own research, and nicely made too, good idea!!

Now all I need to do is get started on these, have a ton of juices, but try to put the CV ones as a priority when they come in...sometimes I look forward more to trying stuff I didn't pick myself honestly, more fun or something.

Hollyweird I liked more than CLS personally, ymmv though, please let me know what you think when you try it out(I prefer CB to CLS too though)

Okay, here's what I got, with first thoughts and impressions:

CRFT Strawberry Blonde - Strawberry and custard. I asked for something with strawberry, here it is. And they gave me 30ml of it, too. It smells great. The taste... its kinda odd. I can taste kinda-strawberry on the inhale, but I get more and better flavors as an aftertaste, and yes, I can detect both strawberry and custard.

However, this particular tank used a dual-coil Aspire head instead of the single-coil Kanger-style heads all my other tanks use. I may try trading it out. Not bad, doesn't immediately knock it out of the park for me tonight though. Need more testing.

There's an error on the trading card - the bottle says this is a 40/60 PG/VG, but the card says 50/50.

Frisco Vapor Ashbury - Chai and Acai. I don't quite know how to characterize the odor of the liquid itself... sort of like spicy soap? Come to think of it, I'm not too sure how acai is supposed to taste. The flavor, let's see here... hm, interesting! Again, I'm having trouble characterizing it. "Chai" is not a flavor I'd use to describe this (best/most accurate chai I've ever had was Steamy Vapor's Krima Masala), but there is some sort of spice. It actually kinda reminds me of a scented candle I've smelled somewhere, in a good way. But maybe the soap/candle thing is all my brain has to offer, seeing as how I don't think I've ever even seen an acai berry. Its pretty interesting, and I think I like it.

Black Label Melo Vibes - Another honeydew and canteloupe? I just got one of those last month (Alpha Vape Hoops), and rated it third in #bestofthebox. I didn't hate it, but I doubt I'd ever want more. Guess somebody at Craft really wants me to get into melon? Or maybe its a summer thing? Well let's try it out now... huh. Well this is probably an easy third place. Its like Alpha Vape Hoops, minus the pear and cream, and not as good. I don't hate it, but meh,

Got my shipping notice today.. so hopefully I'll see the box early next week.
*fingers crossed* that I have some of that The Beez Kneez in there. That sounds awesome!

I asked my SO to taste mine since he's the one who lives on Honey Nut Cheerios. I didn't tell him what it was, just asked him to taste it. He couldn't ID the flavor and when I told him what it was supposed to be, he didn't get that at all. Funnily, he did get something of a tobacco flavor, as did I. It's good, but I don't know how close to HNC it really is. Maybe it'll taste that way to you, but around here, it's 0 for 2 on the Honey Nut Cheerios flavor.

Awww bummer. Well at least now I won't be disappointed if it isn't in my box. Thanks for the review!

 

[baseballmom]

Black Label's Belgian Breakfast is really good, similar to Port LB from what I recall, but lighter with a lot of whipped cream. I like it, has sweetness but not over powering, delicate and light...would love to know the cream and delicate sweet berries for diy...this is yummy.

Ugh, a tobacco note in the HNC, well I'll likely hit that one last, thanks for input too, helps me plan things out, I could see the flavorings being similar to some tobacco blends actually..with the nuttiness in some and sweetness/honey. I haven't had a tobacco flavor in awhile so it will be interesting to see how it pans out for me.

 

[nnglas]

Ugh, just got my box today. It only has 2 liquids in it instead of the 3 my subscription calls for, and I didn't get a tester this month.

On the bright side the 2 that I did get are awesome.

Alpha Mr Miyagi is this plum that is soooo good.
Herbal Dose Sponge Bob is a citrus pineapple type. I love the fruit vapes.

I wonder is CV getting too big?

 

[alisa1970]

I wonder is CV getting too big?

Growing pains - hopefully they'll make it through the other side. That's one of the worst things about a new business. Sort of a Catch-22 - wanting to grow fast but then not being able to maintain service with explosive growth. Happens a lot. I do believe that CV has "the right stuff" to make it, though. If they can keep their customer service as top notch as it has been, hopefully their customers will understand and stick by them through this.

I got my Craft Vapery box today and I'm really happy with what was inside! The e-liquid cards are awesome, its a great idea!!! M&Ms were gone in 60 seconds. CV hit it out of the park and into space with this one

Mojo Vapor - Cinnaswami - Organic cinnamon sticks swirled with hints of vanilla and gingerbread

Nirvana Vapor - Caramel Custard Karma - Name speaks for itself

Five Pawns - Castle Long - Bourbon, dark caramel, roasted coconut, and vanilla bean

Craft Vapery - Piggies - Glazed chocolate donut ( was hoping to try I'm so tired after reading Chris's blog about it but this one sounds good too)

My replacement box came in today. Long Beach Port LB smells good but I haven't had the chance to put it on my dripper. My tester bottle is Yellow Submarine, a lemon taffy flavor. It tastes absolutely fantastic, one of the best flavors I've gotten so far.

 

[MostlySunny]

Well I got my replacement bottle for the repeat bottle of FUES. Frisco Vapor Fillmore. I wanted a sweet tobacco. I don't like it at all, in fact, it's downright horrible to me. It tastes like cigarettes. My other bottle is Mojo Vapor Kooks coffee and there's very little flavor. Maybe it needs to steep a bit?

I'm not getting very lucky with this yet. I'll go in tonight and leave some comments for next month. I am super picky so I'm sure the issue is on my end, not theirs.

I'm sitting here shaking my fists in the air and yelling CHRIIIIIIIISSSS! (think KAAAAHHHHNNN) because I can't believe that this month he came out with these amazing flavors. Now Chris is my hero for making marzipan vape, but I'm having SUCH tester envy!!! I am going to get some of the I'm so tired but sheeesh, Piggies sounds fabulous and so does this Lemon vape. I hope that once they get their store up and running they will sell their own juices. I want to BUY some of these. I never got to try the Here Comes the Sun (mango sticky rice), and I think there was another one around that time that made me want to try it. Something with honeysuckle maybe?? I can't keep track. Speaking of which, I would LOVE to see a master list with flavor descriptions of the testers. I had to rack my brain to remember what Yesterday was, since it was one of the first round. It's V2 but I'd forgotten what it was (rice krispy treats, sounds right ) If you're gonna make testers that are this good, give us more info pretty please?

Your box sounds really yummy. The Cinnaswami sounds fantastic. This month I got Mojo Vapor's Smooth Mojo. I frankly thought it would be a meh. It's a tobacco with custard/caramel/toasted almond notes. Well for me that niche is filled by VCT, and I didn't think I'd be impressed with something so close in profile. Well I was WRONG. This stuff is delicious. It's smoother and more subtle and mellow than V CT but really really satisfying and tons and tons of vapor. If the Cinnaswami is half as good, I want to try it. I find Castle Long a little rich for my blood, in more ways than one, I can only vape it occasionally, but good for you. That;s primo juice right there.

 

[AlteredReality]

Got my August box can't wait to try Yesterday v2 and all the others!

P.s. honeysuckle one was DayTripper.

Aha! So there was a honeysuckle one, I'm not crazy. Thanks for verifying that! I hope you love the Pear Almond as much as I did. It's a superb juice.

 

[TheDC]

I just got mine today - in this box I also got The Beez Kneez and Frisco. I filled up a clean tank with the Lost Arts and it's good. Not GREAT, but absolutely vapeable. I'll add the caveat that I don't eat HNC but my SO lives on the stuff and the juice doesn't taste like HNC smells. It could be a dead ringer; I just don't know.

I'm looking forward to trying the Earl Grey - it smells awesome!

And I got the P.O.E.T Americano Ciambello in my 2nd box - it's still one of my faves. It's actually an Americano coffee with amaretto. Probably one of the best coffees out there, IMO.

These rounded out the rest of my box this month:

[/I]

First and foremost, the guys at CV are awesome. They apparently read my post about Pear Almond, and they just sent me a bottle. I can't help, but appreciate a company that does something like that. +5 For them.

Second, maybe it was the description of the juices that turned me off.

TheLost Arts' beez kneez is really odd. I like it, but like real cheerios, it needs a spoonful of sugar. It'd be a bit better if it were a tad bit sweeter. Maybe some steeping and it would be amazing. 3/5

The pomegranate menthol -- eh. I can live without, has a really bizarre aftertaste. This could also be me, I enjoy menthol better out of tanks, but lately i've been on a dripping kick -- this is not a dripping taste for me. I will rebuild my fogger, and retry. Undecided on my ranking for it.

The Poet Juice, Americano Ciambella, I love it. (to me) it tastes like a coffee and tobacco. It has a strong tobacco flavor, which I love, and sweetened coffee flavor. I could vape this all day. 5/5

The Mojo vapor Kook's coffee from the description on the website says it has a natural caffeine in it, which honestly disturbs me. Seems like it could be harmful to vape caffeine. However, this is easily the best coffee flavor I have ever tried. This is an in your face type of flavor, if you like a cup of coffee with cream and sugar. Bam, this is for you. 4/5

Edit: I just rebuilt my fogger to try The Collection's Ruby -- Did it at .9 ohms. Airflow is about half open. This is the best menthol I've ever had. Period. The pomegranate is really there and the menthol is super icy. 5/5 For menthol. If you like menthol, easily an adv.

I am so with you chocolate glazed donut and lemon taffy and this is the one month I don't get my tester bottle???? I am so jealous!!! I so am hoping I get a tester next month maybe 2 lol. If you get that master list pass it on I won't tell anyone ;-) . I forget what mg you vape but I have some of that HCTS. Depending on what you are using it might only be one or two tanks but you might be able to get a few drippers about of it if you want to pm me I think I am done with it. Then you will know at least if you like it enough to request it in a future box.

Man, that sucks.

Last month they sent me a really good coffee flavor - Bean Me Up by Clever Vape. Maybe request that one?
