Welcome spring fling. I ordered French vanilla ice cream and they taste like licorice. I am not sure what to do about that!! I love the bonuses as well and feel like it is their way of saying "thank you" and it takes the sting out of the 6.95 shipping. They are not in every order but when they are, it is super exciting!

Have you tried the licorice? The licorice is strongly licorice (great!). French Vanilla Ice Cream doesn't taste anything like it. I think the French Vanilla Ice Cream has a bit of a warm custard taste.
Perhaps it was a factory error?

I am a waffle carto fan. It isn't what I would call a strong flavor but you should taste a buttery waffle with a maple syrup note. I have wanted to buy the juice but it is only available in 0mg so I haven't. Waffle isn't a huge vapor producer either but I come back to it for the flavor.

A good full flavored carto is classic caramel mocha frappé. It is my favorite. I just ordered the juice so I can use it in my wow blanks. Prefilled is in a cool cart.

Hang in there. V4L has amazing customer service, fast shipping and great sales. They are the best!

Thanks MK, Snowdragon and all. That was a good video. I would not toss the carts -- just refill them with something stronger. I'm trying to get a family member set up to try this and I think she will love that V4L seems easy and resembles smoking. They are nice cartomizers and I like that they are not cotton tasting like some of the others I've tried. If anyone has a suggestion on the strong flavors for her and can chime in or PM me, I would appreciate it. Thanks again for all of the thorough and fast feedback!

Welcome Spring!
I think this was mentioned already but what I've noticed about the "Bonus Gifts":
I've found that as a general rule of thumb, there are no free gifts if you use a large promo coupon code because they're giving you a high % of money off your order. Without a coupon code or using the generic Smilin10 code, a free gift of some sort will usually accompany your order.
Maybe that had something to do with it.

ooooo MAJOR ++++++++ on the Classic Caramel Mocha Frappe.....it is my absolute fav too (at least till/if I find something better, but not foreseeable)! Wasn't sure when I ordered it with my starter kit, but OH MY.....yep....I have to have it at some point every day!!!!! It is usually all I have on my passthrough:) Now if their 555 and RY4 taste like I am hoping....it just may be a 3 way tie.....but there hasn't been a coffee from V4L that I don't like.....

Welcome, Spring! (I wish I could say that about the weather here <sigh>) The one thing I advise, keep the waffle and don't refill them because what you hate in the beginning becomes a love later - at least I found that happened for me :) I adore the coffee/espresso carts and, of course, peppermint in all flavors :) Try cinnamon which is a nice strong flavor, clove is good, too! As you can tell, I like flavor that almost bites back! Vape for a few weeks on carts and then order some nice juices that are blendable - coffee with wowboy and a touch of cinnamon/ licorice with clove/ pink lemonade (an underrated flavor, IMHO) with peppermint or any of the fruity flavors :) Get used to new ways of doing things and then branch out in your later orders. BTW, I recommend keeping notes - cartridge type, preferred battery length, type, PG/VG/a blend of both - it helps in your next order.

I kinda wish I'd have done that with all my sample packs.....I have to go back through and try and remember which one's I really liked....luckly I did not finish them all the way so I go back and check the taste again....guess I should grab the pen and paper and list the one's I really like on one side and the so so ones on the other......it'll be much easier than digging through all the cartos and reading what each one is....I forget what I have even tried sometimes...

This was my first order with V4L. I understand from reading other threads that the waffle cartomizers are a brown color. I received my order today and they were supposed to be 18 mg waffle. They are that color and maybe smell (very vaguely) of waffle but there is no waffle taste. It's almost like they are empty or the juice dried up? Has anyone ever had this happen? Is this a pretty decent flavor? I've tried many kinds of waffle juices but never V4L filled cartomizers. I also got peppermint cartomizers and I can sure smell those. However, I also ordered a bottle of WOW peppermint juice and the bottle was filled only to the top of white part of the label. Is that normal? Also, I keep reading about how everyone is getting a sample of this or that but there was no sample in my package. I would not know what to order next if anything if the flavors are that subtle or light. Very disappointed...
I tried this cartomizer after not vaping for hours and on a fresh battery so I don't know...

Hi ,,,
I quit smoking at xmas time .. I havent had an urge for an analog since i started vaping ... Thank god .. I got lucky and found an eliquid i fell in love with after going thru sample boxes of every flavor i can think of ... The only one i LOVED was the 24 mg spearmint from nhaler ... but recently its been hard to get as he has a hard time getting it, and its 23.00 plus 5.99 shipping for a 30 ml bottle ...
Anyhoooo ... I was thinking about trying peppermint ... i wonder if the throat hit is as good as the spearmint .... Smooth but yet you really feel it , like a real cigg !!
Im so thankful for my decision to quit without torturing myself and getting my RIVA 901 ooooh and of course my passthru :))
Peace
~Happy Vaping~
