Judge Mental told me about the free shipping and samples avail. I just placed an order today. Such a deal to try out new flavors! Another supplier wanted 3.25 for the same size samples PLUS about $4.95 shipping, so I'd given up on that route, until nuvape's offer.

Looking forward to getting them and hope he runs the deal again.

My Review:
I ordered and received the following Non PG samplers:
Grape
Cream
Vanilla
555 blend
Coffee
All 36 Mg Strength and I used a fresh atty;
I want to first say that mostly I have ordered from JC so that is my basis for comparison.
The vape was good for all the flavors with plenty of vapor with a slight throat hit.
As far as the taste.. The taste is very very very light. The only "flavor" that had a slightly greater hint of what the flavor was suppose to be was grape, and I'm talking just slightly more. I thought I lost my taste bud so I vaped some JC coffee. It tasted like coffee. Now I understand that the flavors may not exactly taste exactly like what is advertised as, but c'mon... My only thought, from the other post that I have seen is that I got a bad batch.. Going to email NuVape and let them know. The service was good and I got the order quickly except that there was 39 cent postage due.. no big deal..
****
I sent Jim at NuVape an email basically restating what I entered in this post.. and he responded right away with a refund.. I wasn't expecting a refund but I think it shows NuVapes commentment to customer service. Eventhough the flavors didn't trip my trigger this time, I would recommend you give them a try. It's rare to find a company that is this responsive to it's customers..

I just put my order in.
I was sad to see the menthol was sold out of the sizes larger than the sample, so I ordered 4 :oops:
My order:
1 x 3ml NON-PG Cream
1 x 3ml NON-PG Cola
1 x 3ml NON-PG Coffee
1 x 3ml NON-PG Chocolate
1 x 3ml NON-PG Cherry
4 x 3ml NON-PG Menthol
6 x 3ml Squeeze Bottle
1 x 3ml Syringe

I want to say the customer service is amazing.
I had an error during the order and emailed them right away just to check if it went through or not before I tried again. I didn't want to double order.
Within an hour and 20min Jim emailed me back.
Awesome!
 
Ok, Just got my order, and I have to say Im impressed! I ordered testers all PG in 24mg. I got the watermelon, Kiwi, Cola, Orange, and grape.

The only one I didnt really care for was the Kiwi. Its pretty close but I would imagine a hard flavor to reproduce.

The Watermelon is my fav so far and is very close to Esmokey Treats watermelon.
The grape is also very good with a nice smooth grape flavor.
the cola has that generic cola flavoring similair to bottlecap candy
The orange is pretty potent IMO but has a refreshing flavor

I love the option for the 3ml glass dropper bottles. Very cool.

The only thing is, I ordered 2 of the 15ml glass dropper bottles, and despite the items being very well packed, the dropper tip was shattered in one of the vials. Im gunna email them now to see what I can do to fix that.

Super fast free shipping. Got the shipping notification Thurs night and Just got my ordder today (Saturday) Not bad being coast to coast and free!

I didn't like them at all. I thought my samples had a perfumy taste to them, so much so I would throw them out. The vanilla has very little flavor, the rum was just gross, and coffee had no flavor, the cola was ok but again I kept tasting something odd like perfume, creme was also yuck. He ships usps ground so it may take a couple of days. I got free shipping due to the special he was running. I am so disappointed. Please post back and let me know what you thought, maybe its just me.

DITO on the taste! I got mine in yesterday along w/ a bag of empty carts - all 7 are 36mgs. Thought the taste was because of it being 36mg. Very perfumery/potent/biting/sharp - not really any taste of the juice - I'm not impressed! I, stupidly, opened all bottles and filled the carts and placed them both in separate zip-lock baggies. I'll be throwing the juice out but keeping the itty-bitty bottles for refills. Hopefully, once washed, they would be good for traveling out for a day w/ dripping.

Nuvape did tell me that when it comes to the samples they are repackaged into the sample bottles, so maybe I just got a funky batch, or the sample bottles themselves are the cause of the perfume. My kids could smell it when I vaped. Very strange.

Thanks for the post! I am glad to know it is not just me. I only tried 2 of the 20 I bought and it was enough for me to know this stuff is not on my list of do agains. I can't get the taste or smell out of my attys. :confused:

I received my order today. I am not very happy. The packaging is great, but that's the only good thing I can say at this point. Every liquid smells like rubber, and the 3 I've tried get worse when vaped. The Menthol is very minty and sort of masks the rubbery smell, but it's still there. I don't know if it's related to the plastic bottles or not, but there's no way I can use this stuff. I have emailed NuVape and am awaiting a response.

I don't mean to sound too harsh here, but I can't in good faith recommend NuVape at this point.

I appreciate your post, because I can honestly say this is the first time I ever post about something being that bad.... and I got some bad stuff before. I am wondering if there was just a bad batch or something because many reviews think it is great.

I don't think it is the plastic bottles, because I ordered all of mine in the glass droppers.

What's the PEG like??

Just curious,

C

Maybe that is the bad taste I was getting, because I did order the PEG.

This order had left me wondering if it is the juice, a bad batch, or the PEG.... sigh

Ordered from Nuvape last week. The web site is pretty to look at, but ungainly to get around in. Order went through well enough though. I received my email order confirmation, and a followup telling me that my order would be delayed due to unexpected high order volume. Now, I've started and ran many businesses in my life, some out of my own pocket, so I know how hard it can to predict things sometimes. They were a victim of their own grand opening success. I wish I had such problems. :)

When the package arrived I was very impressed with the packing. Each item was carefully wrapped and heat sealed. Their method of packing and shipping, while beautiful is also labor intensive.

I got a variety of taste test bottles from them and so far I'm not impressed. Just messing around, I tried a 50/50 of marlboro/vanalla. Ended up with a bad taste in my mouth. That don't make since to me since vanilla isn't uncommon in tobacco. Rinsed my atty in alcohol to remove all flavor and tried the Marlboro by it's self. Still had that same strange taste.

Some of us like it, and some of us have had problems with it. I've never seen this kind of extreme on other flavors before. At least not like this. I've gotta think that I either got a bad batch, or bad bottles. I haven't tried the rest of the flavors I ordered, and at this point, I'm not sure I want to. Guess I'll have to drop at least a couple more before I throw all that money away.

I ordered the Vanilla and Coffee in both VG and PEG -- same perfumed taste and smell in both. I've also gotten flavors -- vanilla and coffee -- from other vendors in the last few weeks that have that same perfumey taste, and I was beginning to wonder if I was one of maybe three people in the world with strange taste buds.

Obviously not -- hooray! If you'd like to know what the other brands were with the same taste, PM me. And if you like the taste of NuVape's coffee or vanilla, I have some brand new bottles of 36 mg from another vendor that I would sell cheaply rather than dump them. I'd feel guilty putting them up for sale to someone who might have the same reaction as me.:(

I think that it is any brand that comes from china. I have had some myself from a reputable supplier, I am not going to say who because I don't believe that they would have any control over this. My best guess is that it is something left over from the nic extraction because it happens in all flavors. For those of you that have this I would suggest leaving it open at least overnight and allow the smell and taste to evaporate.

I actually put mine in a windowsill to hurry the evap progress but some folks say this is harmfull to the solution. I don't see how poison can get any worse or taste any worse then the stuff you folks have but OK. Usually this begins with a burnt rubber taste that goes away first and leaves the perfume smell. That goes away next but takes away some of the intended taste as well. Think of it this way, if it evaporates, you don't need it in there to start with.

BTW, if you do have 36mg that you are going to throw out, PM me and make me an offer I can't refuse.

I oedered Vanilla and almond from Nuvape and now have them both in hand. I allowed a couple of days to pass because I know that the flavors will change once they are opened.

Almond 36mg Non PG. Not a lot of flavor, kind of minimal and not the almond flavoring I was expecting. It taste more like an actual almond then the usual candyish flavor that you get with most flavorings. Not bad, a little spice flavor that I cannot put my finger on but Ok. Tons of smoke and nic, one cart will make your head swim but the almond actually tones down the peppery nic flavor that I was expecting. It's flavor is light enough that I think it will make an excellent mixing base with just a nutty hint of almond for the added flavors.

Vanilla 36mg PG I also got a non PG 3 ml sample but really they taste allmost entirely the same. The non PG has just a tad more flavor but neither has much. It is(and was before I ordered) my understanding that vanilla has very little flavor and this follows suit but like the almond will make an exellent base for my other recipes. It actually comes through a little more when mixed with other flavors and fills a viod because any vanilla I have used as a flovorant has caused clotting of the atty. Again lots of smoke from my 510. Not a stand alone vape for me but as a base I have already come up with a carrot cake that is just like , uh carrot cake.

Overall both fit the bill for me, while neither have a lot of flavor I don't think that anyone as yet has done any better because they do at least have a hint of sweetness and with VG added they make an good mixing base because they are key flavorants that cannot be duplicated by other means that I have found yet.

It might be a while before I can try any more flavors because the two 30ml bottles when cut to 24 will give me 90ml to vape. It could take a while to use this all up.

I can't agree that "it happens in all flavors." I usually smoke tobacco flavors, and I've never run across it in those. The flavor/essence of whatever is too strong to simply "happen." It doesn't taste like burnt rubber, but rather like a cross between a can of Raid, air freshener and some exotic flower -- I'm not a connoisseur, so that's the best description I can give.:rolleyes: It may be some additive that's perfectly harmless, but to me it tastes gawd awful.

As far as evaporation goes, I tried leaving one bottle (that I subsequently dumped) out on the kitchen counter, uncapped, overnight. It made no difference in the smell or taste. If you have to go to that trouble, lose the flavor, and risk contamination and/or spoilage, why bother?

I know that taste exactly= the marlboro carts that came with my M402 kit. I still have some unopened they were so bad. And they made me go to flavorless vaping in a hurry.

I'll use my nuvapes as a base too. With my new 510, I can no longer vape 36mg unless cut way down. The 510 seems to give you what you put in as far as mg, where the 402 gave me pretty much zero nic and I had to vape it all day trying to get nic. I don't see how I could possible vape 36mg full strength in the 510. Unfortunately, I ordered 24 and 36mg from nuvape. I can cut it down to flavorless if it's real bad.

I ordered Ry4 and Cappacino from liquidxpress. Hope I like them. I can handle lack of flavor, better than that gawd awful raid taste, so mixing will be the way I'll go. Unless nuvape is just too nasty to bother.

I'll review when I get them.

Still seeing the same thing I saw the other day. Some of us got bad and others didn't. I got my order and tried a few of the flavors. The vanilla, coca-cola, menthol, and Marlboro were all bad and had the same foul taste. 8-o I did not know you could actually mess up menthol. :confused: I was sooooo looking forward to trying out the watermelon and chocolate. I also couldn't wait to try some of the chocolate cut with vanilla or orange and maybe a little cherry coke. I never did try any of these, either by their selves, or as mixes. After the first few, I just lost the desire to subject my taste buds to more.

I'll write Nuvape and see what we can do. I'm betting it's not their fault and their just as much a victim of bad juice as the rest of are. If they take care of me the way some of y'all say they have, then I expect I'll give them a try another time after things settle down. I don't think I'll be so ambitions trying out so many flavors till I get a better feel for their flavors though. I wish it could have worked out. I was looking forward to trying to new things and from the sounds of it, they are really trying to take care of their customers. So much more than I can say about most companies. Hopefully, that lasts.
