I tasted my DIY OD with caramel and it seemed ok. Blueberry cheesecake on the other hand hopefully improves with steeping but I'm not hopeful at this point. Not even close to good tasting to me after over a month of steeping even with the cap off twice. I wanted to order APAM but I'm not sure the mixes are for me.

Why wouldn't they be for you?
Do you not like long waits?
Do you not like expensive shipping for your long wait?
Do you not like receiving incorrect orders after the expensive shipping and long wait?
Do you not like unanswered emails and no phone support?
Do you not like quite possibly the worst customer service?
Do you not like peppery tasting juices that get worse with steeping?
Do you not like wasting your money on hyped or shilled garbage?

They are not for me either.

I just received my Dr Crimmy's order. It only took 6 days from order to delivery. I got the Overdose DIY with 2 strawberry and 1 sweet cream and Milkshake with 2 raspberry and 1 sweet cream, both in the 125ml size. They are both great right out of the box. There is no hint of a peppery taste. They're very creamy and sweet but not overly sweet, and the fruits taste like real fruit, not candyish.

I've purchased from Dr Crimmy's before and I know that they'll only get better with a little steeping. They're so good now I can only imagine how great they'll be in a few days or a week. They're fast becoming my go-to vendor. :)

Really feel like I got a prostate exam from the Dr. Everybody boasts about how good the juice is and meanwhile I received quite possibly the worst tasting liquid I have tried to date. This is all fine as taste is subjective but, when I tried to get in touch with anyone at the office the Dr, was not in. How can batches vary so much?

This was my second order from Dr Crimmy's and the first was also excellent. I don't know about the contact issue since I've not had to try to get in touch with them, but I know my order of SOD from January was the same as my latest one. All I can imagine is you must have gotten a bad batch. It happens.

I wanted to try this company as they are so cheap, and most if not all the reviews on Youtube are good. However, after reading a little bit more it seems like some people either love this juice, OR, they think its literally one of the worst things they have ever vaped. That scares me a little bit. I understand they try to make juice to personal tastes, but once a company reaches a certain amount of popularity, they either have to hire people to mix who know what they are doing or, just make things uniform and mix their .... off until they can get it out within a reasonable time frame IMO. Plus, who wants to HAVE to steep their juice? Shouldn't it be ready to go right out of the bottle if you are paying for it? I guess that is where the savings come in, but honestly, I am not gonna know when it is done steeping without trying it, and if its not, well there goes a coil (I don't rebuild yet).

I have always liked being able to taste juice first before I buy it, it supports local B&Ms and you immediately know if you will like it or not. (Although I had one Vintage e-liquid juice (Drifter?) I tried 2 vapes of on my Nano before I had to say no way. It tasted way better out of a regular aspire CE5 tank at the tasting bar of my B&M). Can anyone give me some advice? I'm tired of paying for expensive juices, and where I live, all the "good" juice is close to $22-24 for 30 ml. Should I try Dr. Crimmy's and just bite the bullet? $20 for 60 mls won't kill me if I hate it. I'm mostly interested in their cereal vapes as that is what I am on these days. That and creamier flavors. They are probably full of diketones but they are damn tasty. Since I use mostly tanks I guess the highest VG/PG ratio I can go is 70/30, but 60/40 might be better. I use a subtank Nano and a Nautilus.

$20 for 60ml didn't kill me either but. looking at full bottles that are even too awful to mix with something else, that kills me. I realize I might have gotten a bad batch but, no effort was made by the company to remedy the situation. I also like to sample before I buy and would much rather give my money to a local shop with helpful staff and friendly people, You can invest in a cheap dripper which makes it easier to sample liquids at the store. I bought a $20 magma clone and it is so easy to just put a few drops in and see what a liquid tastes like. The dripper is way closer to your nano than any of those cheap clearos they use for samples. Your nano will also vape higher Vg juices as well so don't limit yourself to only 70/30.

I would rather pay $40 for 2 30ml bottles of quality liquid that I know I will enjoy than $40 for 120ml of junk that will never get used. Vaping bad juices makes it so much easier to justify having a cigarette and why be in that position.

Look for weekly deals at reputable vendors and check the forums here for specials, lots of good deals to be had on quality liquids.

Not sure it's fair to blame the juice. I mean, it is subjective and all. I've had ADV's go sour on me from vape tongue, etc.

Further, you hadn't clarified if you were reordering that same juice or if it was your first order - so how would you know it's bad.

IME I've never had any juice bad from someone I consider reputable. However, their customer service does suck. Feels like they're sorting out the growing pains and through the process CS suffers. Still, great juice, great pricing and pretty good processing times.

Taste is subjective but harshness really isn't and all three of the flavors I got are harsh, it's similar to the harshness of nic but I'm not sure that's actually what it is. I got them to have some lower nic juice to use in the Lemo I ordered but it's harsh enough to make me cough nearly every time, none of the other juice I've tried in it does that even with double the nic. If it wasn't for the harshness I think that I'd really like the SOD and that the APAM would be pretty good too, I strongly dislike the flavor of Blue Kitty but that IS entirely subjective.

I'll probably get flamed for this post but I saw several complaints of harsh juice right around the time that I got mine and not all of them were first time buyers, I honestly think that they got an off batch of something that slipped through when they were rushing to get caught up. I would have contacted them about it but it sounds like their customer service is nonexistent, it's the only juice purchase that I truly regret so far.

Why is it not fair to blame the juice? It tasted like cheap Chinese nicotine all 3 of the blameless juices I got.

Just for clarification, this was my first and last order don't have to be a genius to taste something is bad.

You consider them reputable? I don't...... see how that works?

Customer service does suck.

Ive never seen a juice vendor that is so polarizing and gets reviews on the opposite ends of the spectrum from great to unvapeable

im curious to see if it is worth the hype or the hate

I see it with every vendor I've tried. People love them or hate them. VapeWild, ITC Vapes, Mt Baker Vapor and DieselByCG are all vendors who got RAVE reviews but when I tried them I didn't see why. Most of each of those orders ended up in the trash can. Some juices from each vendor were unvapable to me personally.

I disagree. I won't argue that what you tasted wasn't gross or harsh, etc. But these things are all still subjective. Whether it's the
nicotine quality or PG levels or the actual flavorings.

I'll continue to harp on the subjective thing because I've had 2nd,3rd time reorder of juices come off as smoother/harsher than I remembered.
I'm only saying there's much to consider - the build per dual/single/quad coil, resistance, atomizer type, smaller chamber, high wattage, etc.

And lastly, I won't ever dispute the possibility of QC slippage. Is it possible your 3mg nic was a 12mg, for example? Sure.

What I'm saying is you're complaining that you didn't like their juice, which is fine. However, you're also complaining that
they must have had a bad batch. The kicker : How could you know if batches vary if it's your first order? You can't.

You're not going to like everything you ever taste, no matter how much other people may like it.

I think it's as simple as that. Too often I find people want to jump the gun and cry foul. Sometimes your buds just ain't gonna like stuff.

I've already shared how over the moon I am for Beetlejuice and also how I very much disliked a plethora of others. Just the way it goes.


I do hope you find something that is more suitable for you.
