Craft Vapery: Curated and Personalized E-Liquid Service

[RobinBanks]

I got my box today with a lovely note from Jake - seems that for some reason he thought I had left CV (maybe because I haven't been around here lately and haven't been doing my BOTB posts - just too damn tired to) but was happy I wasn't.

I'm really excited to try mine, I've just had a taste of one and I like it - Driptonic Hostess Cupcake. Yes. It does taste like that. The other 3 smell amazing, although right now my brain isn't really working so hot so I don't remember what I got, lol. One is a custard with carmelized sugar and cinnamon, one is a sweet coffee, and the tester is something. Ack! Sure wish I could remember SOMETHING. Anyway, I'll probably report back when the bottles are close at hand and I've tried all three.

LOl.. read the last couple pages.. now everyone knows who to send their Fauxtess to!

Got my box on thursday and just now getting around to posting it here liked everything pretty well. Liked Big Sky (tobacco nutty flavor) and the Cyber Apple Jacks the best of the four.

Oh hell no, girlfriend, YOU are!! Loved your post, the only juice you can remember is the one most of us don't like!!
One of those sounded great, btw.

My next box just came in today. *fist pump* Man they hooked me uhhhp this month!!! Love Craft Vapery. They spoil me so much

On another note. The Craft Vapery store should be opening up any day now, really looking forward to it. Saved up some $$$ just to splurge a lil bit when it does!

Here's what I got!

Craft Vapery Tester - Come Together - Peanut butter and jelly!

Herbal Dose - Mojo - Creamy strawberry and banana.

Beard Vape Co. - No. 32 - Cinnamon Funnel Cake

The Vial - Café Latte - French vanilla coffee with creamy whole milk and unrefined sugar

P.O.E.T. - Americano Ciambella - Sweet maple and spicy tobacco

TestLab - Ritual - Ripe peaches and green tea topped off with bavarian cream

 

[DoubleEwe]

Care to elaborate on the juices???

I am interested to hear what each one tastes like, Mr Blaze if you please...(both boxes)

 

[John Blaze]

Going to be a while before I get through my new box. The other one, sure! I'm not the best at describing what I taste though and its been a while since I had them so going off memory.

Here comes the sun - Mango was the front runner. It was a really good mango flavor and the sweet sticky rice followed underneath. I really loved it. I'll be buying it when its on CV's store.

Peanut Bhudda - Good tasty peanut butter, real nutty. The banana was more of a candy banana. It had a good balance of the two flavors. I enjoyed it. Bottle is empty, AlteredReality sent me a huge box of assorted liquids with another bottle of this in it. <3 her!

Blueberry Waffle - Heavy real blueberry up front and belgian waffle following it through. It was thick and dark. Had to re-wick often with it to keep the flavor fresh.

Midas RY4 - I need to visit this one again to give more details. I remember it as a NET kind of tobacco with sugary sweet notes.

 

[DoubleEwe]

Thank you for doing the reviews Much appreciated.

It sounds like a diverse box, glad to see that you just about like all of them! The Mango Sticky Rice sounds really good, there is certainly a lot of appreciation for the testers here.

I still cant get along with the Blueberry Waffle (nor Boardwalk's Mugshot), really tried, but no.

How does the Peanut Bhudda compare to 5P Grandmaster? (if you have tried it of course)

I look forward to the 2nd installment of 'John's Juice Jaunt'...

 

[John Blaze]

I haven't had the chance to try Grandmaster yet. Still a couple others 5P flavors I want to try before I visit Grandmaster. Definitely on my list though. You should try out the mango sticky rice when it hits the store or perhaps you could request it in your box when they release it. There was some testers I didn't care for. Couple that come to mind are Taxman v1 - Cola and Piggies v1 - Glazed Chocolate Donut.

 

[RobinBanks]

My box arrived today. Haven't had the chance to try anything yet, but I got:

Frisco Vapor's "Frisco": Earl Grey. I actually already own this and I like it. Not an all day vape for me, I have to be in the mood for something astringent. Regardless, a good vape.

Tasty Cloud Vape Company's "Skyline": Pineapple upside down cake with coconut and hazelnut. Smells good, mostly getting pineapple. As much as I like real pineapple upside down cake, I haven't found a vape version I really like yet, but we shall see.

Black Tie LA's "W": Watermelon Sour Patch. Smells awesome!!

CV Tester "Carnival of Light": Caramel apple. Might try this one first!

OK, I'm back and a little more cognitive this afternoon, lol! So my first iTaste VV V3 finally crapped out on me last night. Poor Pearl White. She had a good run. So I was left with my Zen Mech/Kayfun, which really is a pain (I'm so about convenience it's scary, or call it lazy, whatever) and my 2nd iTaste VV, Mr Chameleon. I've been wanting to get an MVP for a while, so I swung by my local vape place and picked one up, for too much money...plus it was a starter kit which included the iClear30S, which was awesome - for the first five draws. Then the gurgling and leaking began. I remember now why I don't like top-coil clearos...

Anywho, my box:

Of course we all know the Fauxstess cupcake. So what, I like it. It's a nice, fake chocolate and sugary mess that I can't eat but can vape. I think it's tasty.

Sucking now on Valkyrie Vapor - Baldur's Return. "Delicate vanilla bean creme brulee with a caramelized sugar topping". It's good too. Better in the iClear, when it's not flooding my brand-spanking new box mod. But it's really nice. I definitely get the vanilla and sugar thing.


Moving on now to the CV Tester Come Together...I'm guessing from a previous post is PB & J?.......I get a hint of the J, but the PB? Not so much. Could be the clearo I'm using or the fact that I accidentally toked on some Kringle's Curse just before this. Just an FYI, Kringle's Curse is not a good palate cleanser, lol. Will revisit this one on my dripper.

Lastly, rounding out the box this month is Cyber Eliquid's Cafe Royale. The sweet coffee. Smells pretty much like strong black coffee, but let's give it a whirl.


I think I taste leather.

Really?


OK, just dropped my wattage down a bit, to 7.5....a bit better, if not a little gurgly in my ARO Pyrex.

Nope, still leather.


I think I'll have to take coffee off my CV options. There have only been a few of many that I've tried that have made my "oh yeah" list, and sadly none have come from CV. Time to trot off and change my profile so that they don't think I love the stuff.

That's it! I'll definitely vape the other three, all nice choices and I'm happy. Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!

I'm enjoying CV's "Carnival of Light"! It reminds me a lot of the Ragtime "Jim Dandy" I got in my last box. in my REO/Odin, vaping at about .5Ω, I'd put this more in the bakery category than candy. I can be iffy about caramel, but this is good.

 

[TheProphet]

Ragtime's 23 Skidoo is great in my dripper. But I put it in a tank and it tastes like 5 Pawns Gambit. Not something I care for happening.

That Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee sounds delicious! Have you tried Nicoticket's Creme Brulee? If so, how does it compare?

I guess the Cyber ELiquids Cafe Royal has been created for the niche market of coffee drinking leather fetishists...

This is all making the wait for my box all the more excruciating, it only got sent on the 24th :/ (currently it is sat in CA)

Seems like Cyber Liquids might have some issues. Their apple jacks is now in my "do not vape box" and your report of tasting leather doesn't surprise me.

My box came with:

Lost Art Liquids - The Beez Knees - Honey But Cheerios inspired breakfast vape. Its nutty. It's got a subtle taste of honey. Its delicious.

Vaping Birdy - Emperor Penguin - Honeydew and Creamy Condensed Milk. The melon isn't overpowering as I thought it could be. I didn't think I'd like this one. Totally wrong. It's delicious.

Vapor Lost Vegas - Hard Four - It really does taste like raspberry jolly rancher. It's delicious.

Black Tie LA - Nuts and Berries - I can taste the peanuts followed by the sweetness of berries. It has a trail mix blend taste to it which is spot on. It's delicious.

Hold Fast Vapors - Pirate's Booty - Strawberry Banana Cotton Candy. I get a strawberry banana yogurt vibe from this. I'm not tasting cotton candy but its been years since I had any so I might not even remember the taste. It's delicious.

Clever Vale - Peanut Buddah - I haven't tried it yet but smells spot on.


Very satisfied with this box.

 

[DoubleEwe]

Your box sounds like 'the nuts!' BigAug, or at least pretty nutty...

Vaping Birdy - Emperor Penguin was a big hit for me too, I wasn't expecting to like it either, but it turned out to be the best of the box (after demoting Apple Jaks) last month. I miss it.

I have a couple Vapor Las Vegas juices on my wish list, good to hear that Hard Four is another decent one from them.

The whole Cyber Eliquids thing makes me wonder whether Craft Vapery ever remove companies/suppliers from their line-up?
I would hope that they do, considering one of the reasons that people sign up is because the suppliers are meant to be the cream of the crop (well, that was my reason for signing up).
That is what worried me when I saw the increasing number of suppliers, that maybe they were opening the door too wide and 'watering down' the quality of the juice as a whole.

I am hoping I am wrong though about the watering down.

 

[RobinBanks]

I got the Cyber Liquids "Shotgun Cider" in my first box and I also found it un-vapeable. I should probably add a not to please not include the brand.
