I saw a very active thread about a week ago. I was wondering if anyone had gotten their Gourmet Vapor liquids...and had any reviews yet? They have lots of yummy sounding flavors, but I'd like to hear some opinions before I put an order in with them.
Thanks!!

still hasn't shipped out to me yet. I ordered on the 9th, it says it can take up to 48-72 hours to ship for special customizations. Brad was very nice to deal with though through Email. PM me in a week, I got a lot of diff flavors

I ordered 27 of their 3 ml sizes to try. Alot of them were the tobacco flavors that just sounded to irresistible. Should have them any day now and once they come in, I will certainly give a reveiw on them.

I posted some thoughts in the thread that is linked above.

I'm also thinking about placing another order sometime this week.

For the most part...I like their juice...mostly because I can get any flavor in VG, which isn't really the norm with most juice sites.

For my next order I think I'm going to try and stay away from anything that has more then two flavors mixed. I think it becomes a bit muddy at that point.

Another thing...a lot of those flavors are flavors that their customers have put together...using their flavor customization option. I'm thinking they need to test out some of those flavors to make sure they taste like what the customer assumed it would taste like.

For instance...my Apple Cider didn't taste anything like I expected it to.

Maybe they need a to separate the customer concoctions from the flavors the company personally mixed and tested.

If you want a sure bet from their site...the Mimosa is my go to vape right now. TONS of vapor and great flavor (I might be bias because I love Orange flavors, but it's the best orange vape I have ever had)

Actually I think all the flavors are customer creations, he told me that's why they call it "gourmet vapor" . I really do think they should create some of their own recipes though!

I got my order this morning. It took about 4 or 5 days for it to ship, but once it shipped it got here in 2 days.

Customer Service- A+

First thoughts: The juice comes in white bottles--you can't see how much is inside, really dislike this
Some of the bottles just have numbers on them and not what the actual flavor is inside. I had to go to the website and play around with the cart to find which juice was in 4 of the bottles. The dropper is pretty tough to use as well

Out of the nine I have tried 3. The carmello bar I created is excellent. However I ordered some plain cinnamon juice that has NO flavor whatsoever. Tasted like straight flavorless juice

Overall I am not impressed, for the price I paid, and how long I had to wait, I probably won't be ordering again until they have been around longer.

Mine came in clear bottles and were clearly labeled. Weird. I do agree that the bottles are a bit hard to squeeze.

I had the same issue with the Orange Creamsicle. Hardly had a taste to it at all. I have the Orange Dreamsicle from Ms. T's and it's got a lot more flavor but still not enough for me. I'm looking for some crazy orange flavor when someone sells me something called Orange Creamsicle.

I think that is the main problem. Mixes need to be tested and tweaked if they do not taste right. I made a mix called "Fruit Punch" but I haven't ordered it yet. I would imagine that it taste like Fruit Punch but I really have no idea and either do they.

They need to mix up their own line of flavors and keep customer creations separate.

I ordered the smallest available bottles, that might be why I got white bottles

I still have quite a few flavors to try! Hopefully they are good:cool:

I think the reason some had numbers on them instead of words was because I picked flavors out of the flavor creater that weren't creations. For example cinnamon by itself, licorish by itself, etc.
:cool:

The best thing about Gourmet Vapor is the customer service. They seem to want to make their customer's happy by working with them to get what they want. I ordered a custom and they said if I don't like it, they'll work with me to get one that I do. :)

I called customer service today and talked to Brad...he welcomed all my comments and suggestions and said that a lot of the things I wanted were in the works.

Particularly...I brought up the fact that my Orange Creamsicle was lacking in flavor...and he said that in the future they are going to give the option of a double shot of flavor for VG because, as we all know, VG tends to diminish flavor.

I also asked him about new bottles with child safety (No kids, but I do have one curious niece:) He said they were going to transition over.

So all in all...the guy seems like he's more out to make a good product and be a part of the "scene" rather then trying to rip us off.

He also pointed out that there is a 30 day money back guarantee, which I wasn't aware of.

I order and received yesterday
Tiramisu
Tootsie Roll [60%Chocolate 40% Orange after a mixed drink]
and a 3rd flavor which I don't remember off hand but all three had no particular flavor at all and I couldn't even smell the chocolate or orange so I thought that was odd.
Probably won't order from there again until they seperate the customers blends from tried and tested by the company. The ones that I got can be vaped, has a TH and vapor, just no flavor to speak of.

I ordered a bunch of the 3ml flavors from Gourmet Vapor. I did receive them a couple of days ago and finally tried some of them out. First, I have to say that Brad was great and just loved his customer service. He offered to ship them over here APO which was so wonderful of him! Definitely A+ on Customer Service.

All the bottles came in clear bottles, clearly marked with the mg, amount of liquid, flavor, ID number and Lot number. The only negative thing I can say about the bottles are they are hard to squeeze. You really gotta squeeze these puppies hard for them to give up the juice! Also, it would be nice if we could get all vendors to put expiration dates on their bottles. Anyway, I digress, all the flavors I ordered were in 12mg and all in VG. I dripped using my Tornado and a clean atty with each new flavor.

Seattle Blend - This one I really liked. Tastes like a strong black cup of coffee, but not bitter, with tobacco. Neither flavor truly out does the other. They compliment one another quite nicely. Vapor was very good and definitely got a TH.

Carmel Macchiato - Yum! Yum! One of my favorite flavors and this one did not disappoint. I usually order this from another very well known vendor but they do not carry it in VG. I would most definitely rank this one right up there with theirs as far as flavor but definitely better in VG. Nice vapor and nice TH.

Perique Blackberry - Fantastic! This was quite surprising and I believe this one will surely find a permanent home! The blackberry tastes wonderful, not artificial and sickly sweet. I would say that the blackberry is the most dominant of the two flavors but the tobacco is not to be overpowered. Wonderful flavor, great vapor and very nice TH.

Coffee Cream - Very nice. You can definitely taste the coffee but the "Cream" tastes like whipping cream. Not sugar, not "sweet" coffee that many vendors put out but definitely more of a "dairy" flavor. Different but very nice. Nice vapor and nice TH.

Nuport - I was a menthol analog smoker for 34 years and this is one flavor that I have been on the hunt for since I started vaping. I have ordered countless bottles of "menthol tobacco" only to be disappointed time and time again. Most of them tasted like Vick's Vapo Rub, Doublemint, Mint or just plain tasted like CRAP! But this one is definitely a keeper. I can actually taste tobacco and MENTHOL. The right amount of MENTHOL. Not Mint, not Vick's but the closest thing that I have found to a menthol analog and this is definitely a KEEPER! *HAPPY DANCE* Great vapor and great TH.

So there are the first 5 flavors that I have tried with Gourmet Vapor. I have got about 20 more to go! 8-o Most of them being tobacco flavors but so far, so good!
