Just got an order from giant vapes. It was going to be twice as much, but I figured I didn't want to know what kind of trouble I'd be in getting it all at once..so more can be placed Friday.

Great people and professional packaging, they also sent me 2 free 6mL bottles of derp sauce.. they just so happen to be on the list that didn't make the cut.

Yeah, I liked the sucker punch when I got to try a friend's, but they're going to need some steeping. Everything else, except one of the little samples, seems good to go.. have to wait to try. Not the greatest idea to switch out 10 wicks on a rda watching a baby.

I'll be back with rundowns of the presteeped game.

OKC, OK
Last Saturday I ordered a 15 ml of AIV Zombie Apocolypse from GiantVapes. My order was here today (Monday!) Are you kidding me? How is that possible from Rhode Island to Oklahoma!? GV threw in a bottle of Derp Sauce called Hullabaloo. I dripped without steeping and it is outstanding. Like an Andes Mint with a punch of raspberry. I searched all over this site and this is the only post on this site and one of the only ones on Google. Just a great juice.

Was also my first try at AIV. Had a lot of the flavor like Vaper Chef my personal favorite but was a little more muted. Hoping steeping will bring some more of that out.

Glad to know they ship fast. I just tried Alice in Vapeland's stuff for the first time and fell in love with A Quiet Morning. Alice isn't open again until 11/26, so I was able to order it from Giant Vapes. YAY! No waiting for Alice to open, and no waiting for slow shipping (not a slam against Alice...but as a consumer I appreciate speedy service. 'Merica!):)

Yeah, I ordered Friday..free shipping, here today..or yesterday after this post. Great service, had to call with issue on mobile site with confirm button.

So I'll go in vendor order..keep in mind, no steeping yet..

Darkest Day Vaper only vender with ratio on label 70/30:
Red ape has a creamy tobacco feel..with a sweetness like maple syrup.
Zombie Elixer.. one of the first I was set on ordering, and that I primed a whole tank with.. Very good sweet flavor. The description hits it dead on..fruity cream soda.

Derp Sauce:
Boysen tha Hood..nice blue medicine bottle. Blueberryish boysenberry up front, followed by a warm waffle feel and mellow cinnamon. She says it has a soapy taste..I don't get that.
Plus samplers..
Hubbaloo.. already explained well.. like a mint chocolate ice cream..something like a berry behind it.
and Slight of Hand..sweet strawberry with a light sweet cream.

Space Jams:
Starship 1..melon-E..kinda turned off by the fake kiwi..but I'll still use it, and I'm the biggest snob with flavors (of anything in my lungs...) I was also disappointed at how light the cream aspect was..hopefully that comes out more.

Suicide Bunny main reason I ordered from them highest is 18 mg.. fine though.
Derailed: I was like "...!" when I smelt it, like paint thinner, but I love it. Sugary, cinnamon cookie.
Madriana: Similar to starship 1, but more noticeable on the cream. Plus, the melon isn't as noticeable as being fake..I'm sure it isn't natural.
Mother's milk: I can see that this can have fans and haters.. Not really creamy, but a sweetened milk covered strawberry. It seems like this one might use the peppery flavored nicotine.
Sucker Punch: Really light flavor.. like a blowpop..can't picture what yet..sour cherry maybe.. with a mellow cream.

I'll be getting some others Friday with blueprint, the standard, and vape syndicate..probably AiV if I forget to order tomorrow.

Ok..so after a little less than a week, everything was good out of the box, except two: starship 1 & madriana. Both are very similar flavors. When I first had a quick test they were good, but having them in a RDA for a little longer, I didn't dig them so much. The melon taste on both sides left me with that weird taste..like ......literally. Both have seem to have lost that after taste, and both have gotten creamier, especially madriana.

One has gotten extremely harsh, Darkest Day's Red Ape. The zombie elixer and it both have the same 70/30 ratios, but I wouldn't have noticed the higher PG content with the zombie elixer. I'll give it another go next week.

Derailed's banana aspect is far more noticeable since I primed a carto the other day, and mother's milk seems to have lost that peppery undertone.

I have been mainly using derp sauce's boysen tha hood and darkest day vapor's zombie elixer. It's really not like me to not change flavors every 10minutes, but I've used one of each of those for day long periods.

They're all so good, so I've been trying to find a good deal on several tanks. I hate being restricted to only 8 flavors at once...

I received my AiV juice from Giant Vapes and I asked them for some samples in the comments section, stating that I am trying new vendors and would love to sample anything they think I should try. They sent me 4 little samples...so awesome! Here is what I have from them...if you have tried any of these, I would love to know what you think:

1) Derp Sauce-Batderp Blend
2) Derp Sauce-Boysen Tha Hood
3) Derp Sauce-RYU No 4?
4) Elements-Fyre

They sent me all the Derp Sauce samples in 24mg nic, which is the level I ordered with the AiV liquid I got from them. Nice! The Elements liquid doesn't say what the nic level is, but I looked on their website and the highest nic that brand sells is 18mg..so not sure about this one.

Just got another order from giant vapes. Vape Syndicate lil tart, g2vapor cactus juice and blue pop shock, The Standard cell block 4, and Derp Sauce slight of hand.

I really wanted to post about it about vape syndicate's lil tart. I love suicide bunny's derailed, but I can live without it having banana. This is pretty much just a good pie crust, but there's a sweet tart fruit on your tongue on the pull. Throat and cloud is pretty mellow, but the flavor is amazing. I've only dripped with them so far, but I have lil tart in a kayfun lite.

Cactus juice is kinda like hi-c ecto cooler, but there's an agave kinda feel to it.

Blue pop shock is dead on with description, blue raspberry blowpop.

Cell block 4 is a really good custard. Not too many elements to make it too heavy, just right for me.

Sleight of hand is also really good. I got it in a sampler for my first order. It has such a citrus element combined with vanilla, it feels like there is menthol involved with it. I've nOticed that with a few heavy citrus things.

More stuff I've really enjoyed: standard dead man's party, suicide bunny sucker punch(one of my favorites), derailed, and madriana (accidentally put a little derailed in the bottle..just when I started to really like it...still good but about a 1:10ratio had derailed taking it over:(), space jam andromeda and star ship 1, blueprint CREAM (butterfingery custard), and darkest day zombie elixer(hasn't been changed out of a tank yet) and red ape.

Schimdity needs to do the real reviews. I don't have as much patience for them as her/him..:) if I was ever on here without my phone, I'm sure I'd do more justice for them, but swype texting information gets annoying.
