Man people are knocking some flavors I really like. I don't think you should be allowed to comment on flavor if you are vaping at 36mg. You need 18 to judge it. The new and improved Orange juice for example, is excellent at 18mg, better than the highly rated Ms. T's Orange Juice, but at 36mg it just isn't right.

Good point Uzzaperez; I can't comment specifically on the OJ, but have noticed differences on other carts just between 18 and 24 let alone 18 to 36.

Lonercom, what is the nic level you tested for the carts in the table? Thanks for the great review and detailed presentation of the data; now I think you need to review all flavors at ALL nic levels next! :)

The nic levels vary as well as original vs premium. I started vaping at 24mg and moved to 36 to try and vape less. Since I still can't put these down I have gone back to 24 and am ordering lower strengths.

Keep in mind that I use this for personal reference and just shared it in this thread since it seemed to apply.

Thanks for the great review and detailed presentation of the data; now I think you need to review all flavors at ALL nic levels next!

I would be glad to share my opinion of every flavor and every variation as well as juice vs. carto. (That would be hundreds as of now and the tally gets staggering when ya consider all of the improvements they are working on.) Feel free to send them to me and I will get right on it! ;)

Anything I can do for my V4L fam.

Wow. Glad I did not try all these silly flavors. Only thing I cared for was the Cowboy which almost destroyed the carto before I could bring it back to life with some Freedom Juice.

Even the premium carts will deteriorate fast without some quality juice and careful maintenance. I rinsed out the smilin juice and replaced it with new pure from Halo.

To V4L credit.....the carto is fine but to keep the longevity means getting rid of the original and replacing it with some quality juice.

I keep V4L cartos for back up.

what is the point of this post??? This is the V4L sub forum we don't take kindly to people that come on here and show hate for the product and recommend other companies. If you don't like a particular flavor fine but to say that V4L doesn't sell quality juice. V4L offers quality juice so you should do your research before you post things you have no clue about. Have you even seen the factory pictures??? Do you know how its manufactured??? For the record just because Halos liquid is made here in the US doesn't mean its higher quality. In fact China has stricter standards.Halo tastes like disgusting chemical crap to me. I really wish i knew what they were putting in there. Others will agree.

I agree.

I've been noticing quite a few of these types of posts about halo juice. I checked out their website, they have NO selection (7 flavors). Their juice is 24.99 a bottle!!!!! V4L has 80 + flavors. You can't compete with that.

I wouldn't even call them flavors lol. I tried two different flavors and they both tasted like a bunch of different chemicals. It tasted nothing like tobacco. Another thing, they offer 1 size bottle 30ml. I shouldn't of even tried them just for this reason and if your only going to offer 1 bottle it should be smaller than 30ml. Halo = RIP OFF!

I may be the only one who LIKED Pumpkin Pie :)

I rather liked it. Lemon meringue was too pledge-like, and the butterscotch had a very...vomit...edge to it. However, at the price for 5 mL, who cares? I've only got two at this point I wouldn't vape in any but total emergencies. I even liked the cranberry as a change of pace, and the red hot candy, while tasting nothing like the candy I know to me, was pleasantly sweet and interesting. LOVE the spiced cider. If it comes out in 30 mL, my budget is doomed.

Peanut Butter Cup tasted more like Peanut Cow Dung. So they got half of that one right.

Ouch! LOL I love Peanut butter cup. I like the fact that it taste like *real* peanut butter, yanno the kind that has the oil on top that you have to mix? Yeah I'm drooling, If I had to choose one flavour to vape it would be this hands down. I also enjoy the fact that I really can't taste the chocolate since I really don't like vaping chocolate

So many Cranberry non likers too and if I had to choose one fruit flavour that was my favourite it would be Cranberry closely followed by the newer Cherries Jubilee.

OK Has anyone noticed the more you vape a flavor the better it gets? I had the Almond Choco Coco which at first was meeeeehhhhh. but i ran out and i'm kinda ...... now... i want more... The same thing was with Mad Cow and Grape.

I don't thing V4L makes any BAD Tastes. If they were bad then why do they have them? Someone is buying them. Maybe you don't like a flavor, but i don't think that there are any real bad flavors (besides Cranberry) **I R HYPOCRITE!** anyway yeah Some people don't like the taste of fish or of greens... Everyones taste is different. I think V4L makes all good flavors and products. Otherwise why would we be here?

Edit: To anti V4L, why are you here again? :confused: Its the V4L sections we should Support our GOD~cough~ i mean seller.... Unless a V4L employee comes to your house, Beats you up, smashes your PC, pours salt in your eyes while they T-Bag you as you cry out in pain. I don't wanna hear it.. (and even then, i would need Photos or video or it didn't happen, and if it did happen you probably deserved it)

Yup, taste is subjective.

Cola (along with Kant) is my all day vape. I'd die without it.

Also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Coconut Cream Pie - I even tried it from another vendor because V4L only had 5ml bottles and it was not nearly as good.

That being said: Mountain Do was so bad I didn't even want to risk boiling it and putting in another flavor and Pina Colada was almost as bad BUT I tried another (HIGHLY recommended juice vendors) Pina Colada flavor and that was crap (to me) too.

I think what one learns as time goes by is you can never really base your choices on others recommendations - it really is a personal thing.

Yep..cult it is and proud to be a member! But..nobody is being forced to stay, we do because of the product and the service, not to mention the friendship.

We are dealing with a lot of different people to please, all of whom are just getting their tastebuds back. So sure people have differing opinions about flavors and V4L is keeps tweeking the flavors to get them right.

And once again you are right..there are a lot of U.S. made e-liquids. And who has pictures of their factories?..Kitchens..sheds? I am sure they are clean and well kept..the point is: are they regulated.... at all?

Heck I make my own flavors..right at my desk, I live in America , you should buy from ME! Don't mind the cat hair, she is just being friendly and licking the bottle! (JK people..I don't let the animals near the ones that have Nic in them)

Edited because I got snarky..
