Introduction
Friends don't let friends buy premixed juice at Gourmet Vapor. They have frequent 50% sales but if you go in for the cheap nic liquid don't be tricked into buying their juice. I just heard positive things. Although they didn't sell me kock off stuff like Liberty Flights. There juice is so bad it is almost like they sold me a kock of battery as a real one and it got next to my face. There juice is a tad dry and taste like flavored water. There is a reason I order triple flavor when available. I want in your face flavor that taste good. Wintermint taste different then black licorice with mentol. Don't know who you are tricking by printing "very very good" on your bottles but it is not working on me.


Vapor Production Key

I am using a numeric key to represent different vapor I judge the juice to have at different wattages.

1 Weak vapor production less then a half puff of an analog cigarette
2 Defiantly not enough vapor. Less then a puff of an analog
3 Same amount of vapor as a short puff of an analog cigarette
4 More smoke then a puff but not the same as a drag
5 Same vapor production as a drag from an analog cigarette
6 Little more then a drag but no clouds of vapor
7 Just shy from clouds of vapor
8 little cloud of vapor
9 cloud of vapor
10 amazing amounts of clouds of vapor. Almost feel like you need to open some windows.


How I rate E Juice
I am vaping on a Darwin mod from Evolv. Different juices taste different at different wattages.
You can use OHMs Law to find what atomizer or cartomiser to use to obtain the the flavor you want if you don't have a Darwin. Here is a nice online calculator of OHMs law you can use.


4.2 Watts 1 Tastes like bad sweet black licorice with hints of mentol.
6.2 Watts 1.5 A little less sweet but more dry then mentol.
8.2 Watts 3 tastes like dry nasty black licorice with a hint of mentol
10.2 Watts 4 warm disgusting licorice taste with a hint of mentol
12.7 Watts 5 same as above


Numbers signify vapor production. They correspond to the vapor production key above.


Conclusion
This just taste bad an nothing like what I expected. Not only is it watered down as a tripple flavor. I like black licorice. Don't want to vape it. Defiantly not bad black licorice.

I have been using GV for several months now and have tried regular,dbl and triples in more than 50 flavors. If I order dbl and triples I always cut them down with vg/pg. Too much of a flavor can make any juice taste just awful or bitter, just as not enough flavor is just blah.

Most of the juice recipes on the site are made by folks just like you, some will be great, others not so much.
Also many just made for you juices need some time for the flavors to develop and meld with the vg/pg.
After you have ordered from them more and found what you like in the flavor strength you like I think you will be very happy with the juice and the 50 off sales to stock up on. And the customer service is excellent.

I don't know what juices you tried. But clouds of vapor juices, vixen triples, and vapor bomb juices don't taste like water. When I order a triple flavor I expect it to be strong. It not taste really vague. Also in what world is wintergreen taste like bad licorice. The are some juice that are amazing out there. Just find that Gourmet Vapors tastes like some mistakes Juicy Vapor makes. I wasted my money hopefully others can be informed and not waste there money.

In defence of GV....alot of the flavors there are made by viewers, and maybe not even tried by them..... I have tried quite a few flavors from them, some are very good, and some are downright horible (420 for instance). I have also tried the wintermint, not in tripple flavor though, probably double though I dont remember ( because I want lots of flavor too) and the wintermint tastes like toothpaste to me and my wife ( and not in a good way) .... the "seriously minty" on the other hand is MUCH better to me (double flavor I think) nice peperminty flavor, and I would probably say that this is my favorite minty vape to date. Anyway taste is subjective....

i would love to see more people do reviews of the juices that they say they love. It would give people different views of the same juice. More reviewers more info for us looking to find good juices. and because taste is subjective if we try one someone likes then you can look for others they enjoy.

I agree. The more I research certain juice the more flavors I get out of vaping it. Just wish some one told me the truth about GV before I wasted my money :(

Taste IS subjective. I think we've all learned that one person's nasty throw away juice is another person's all day vape. I really enjoy AaronY's reviews. I think he is very honest about what he thinks of the juices. But it is an opinion. If I based all of my juice buying on people's reviews, I may not have tried some of my favorite juices. But AaronY and I have similar tastes in juices, so his opinion helps a lot when I buy my juice! Another good one, AaronY! Keep it up!

Guess taste is subjective.

It really is subjective Aaron, that's why I'd like to see you aspire to be less judgmental and more informative in your reviews.

Judgements aren't reviews... and your "sweet spot" is pretty unique to you... my opinion is that your sweet spot is incredibly unique.

Yes, you are honest, but this kind of review is not terribly insightful.

Not because it is negative... it just lacks substance. I didn't learn anything from it. I learned that you had certain expectations and that you thought the juice was gross and perhaps you feel compelled to save others from making that mistake.

I am not a fan of Gourmet Vapor for a couple reasons:

One, They use a lot of flavourart and I am not a fan of that brand of flavoring. I can usually taste that brand immediately in anything I vape...
Two, I don't like buying juices where I have too much control to manipulate the pg/vg and flavor.
I want good juice... and I don't think I am an expert etc. I rely on a vendor to concoct a good brew... and they don't provide enough information for me to do that.

I have bought from GV 3 times. The first time was positive... and the second and third time, I got juice I didn't like...
I also got frustrated because there isn't really an easy way to access someone in customer service to ask or inquire about the juice...
Still, my fault... Both times, it sold in less than an hour in the classifieds... so they must have fans.

Anyway, plenty of people have been happy with them.
You weren't fooled, you weren't duped... I think you just need more experience anticipating what juice you will or will not like.


Aaron, how long have you been vaping?
After a while, you learn to read between the lines.
In other words, you start to know what to expect from a vendor you haven't tried based on what juices they are offering and the flavorings they use and by who on ECF loves them and who doesn't.

Man, sorry for sounding negative again. I appreciate your enthusiasm for reviews... it's just that I really want you to focus on the reviews and not on the grading.

anyway... take a look at some the reviews of basilray's Grimm green's, smokey's, dondaboomvape, drvapenstein etc... Elixir TV etc... see how they are doing it. Notice how some of the best negative reviews aren't so judgmental.

7 months. I take it you have been vaping longer. How long have you been doing it. Will look at those reviewer thanks. I follow a couple of them any your comments too :p Going to send this juice to another vaper. Maybe she will like it who knows. Just saying mint should not taste like black licorice :p Do you like the Vixen Vapors and COV positive reviews I have done? I try not to review Want2Vapes juice because it taste different every time. I try to vape a juice 10 different times and vape a juice for a hour before I right a review. I admit I did not do that for some FSUSA reviews because the juices juist made me nauseous :(
Anyways I understand and I respect your opinion. Thanks for taking time to comment. Just no fan of juices that taste like water or taste totally different then their description. It is like this drip tip that is so badley misshaped it fall out of my atty :( I just would like vendurs to deliver what is promised. As you can see I have tons of juices.
Will try to be more informative on juices I don't like. Thanks for the feedback.
