I'm not usually one to post negative reviews... I mean actually I'm a Bear juice Member, lol. But the last time they had a sale I bought like 7 bottles. Lets just say I've used about 10 drops, and I will never be touching those bottles again. The flavor is outta this world, they smell better than any liquid ever... but they must use oil based flavoring or something because it just vapes like a burnt taste. I don't even know how to describe it, it just tastes like a terrible burning chemical. Now maybe it's my batch, but I've tried 4 different flavors/bottles from that batch on several different atomizers and had the same results with all of them.

The first batch I had from them tasted great for a while but then slowly faded off... biggest complaint with it was no throat hit.

Oh last thing... I think the menthol is the exception. If you look at the other juices you can see the murky bubbles and etc, but the menthol seems like actual regular eliquid and doesn't taste like burning chemicals.

Just to let anyone know who is following this thread. I recieved my order today and I am very happy with it. The cinnimon is great I will be buying more of that for sure. They were fast and everything was just what they said it would be. The other flavors were not real strong flavored but great vapor and smooth with a nice aftertaste.

I would feel comfortable ordering from them again and I will definately buy more of the cinnimon before the sale is up and will most likely order again even after the sale.

I got my Bear Juice order yesterday and I really like these juices myself. I love sweet stuff and these hit the spot for me. I got the house blend on all mine which is 60/40 VG to PG ratio. I got 24 mg strength on all 4 of my bottles also. The bottles are easy to squeeze and the only thing I would say that the need to work on are the labels and they need to put your invoice of your order in the package with the liquids. The labels have the flavor, strength, born date and dies date. Each is hand written in it's appropriate blank. That's the only thing I see that they need to work on is the labeling to make it look a lil more professional. Now, I got the Raspberry Watermelon, Cotton Candy, Fruit Punch and there ? mystery flavor. You need to make sure you shake them really well before you use them because the ingredients do seperate, not a big deal to me, I always shake my juices up before I use them. All the flavors I got are great, sweet to my liking, give a nice throat hit and lots of vapor, which smells yummy too, hehe. All in all I am really enjoying these and with there BOGO sale I say you don't have much to loose, give them a try. They only take paypal so make sure you are set up with that so you can order. I do believe I will be ordering more juice from them before there sale ends. I really have a lot of juice but shoot, I just can't pass it up, lol.

Well thanks everybody for the info. With the bad comunication issues, the labeling issues the oil issues the slow mail thing, and the bad flavor deal I think unless they send me a bottle free, which is highly unlikely beings they don't have a clue who I am, I am going to steer clear of the bear. Two for one or better I'm a big Pardon me. Thanks again

will the oil kill my atty?
I've heard that it will. Oil that gets overheated will coke (not the drink and I don't know if an atty will get hot enough) up on the heating element. What I do know is that an oil film building in your lungs is a bad thing (causes a form of pneumonia). In your stomach the acids keep it at bay. As for the seller, I found them great to deal with. There was no problem with the transaction, great prices, and shipping was fast (from order to my mailbox in 4 days). They were very quick to respond to my email when I was checking on if there was oil based flavoring in the rest of my juices. I ordered chocolate, chocolate/strawberry, and menthol. Only the cinnamon had oil floating on top but they told me there was oil in all those flavorings. Why they would use oil based flavorings beats the **** out of me. Anyway about $38.00 was a great price for e-liquid if all 8 bottles didn't have to go to the trash....

I was happy with my order, too (cotton candy and vanilla, all 4 bottles the house blend), but I'm concerned about the oil issue and very surprised that the vendor hasn't addressed this issue, at least not anywhere that I've seen.

I like the taste of the juices but I do notice the slight burnt flavor. Shipping was quick. I didn't like the taped-on labels (tape hangs off of the top and gets nasty), the fact that there was no invoice in the box, and that the shrink wrap was only wrapped around the lid - not the lid AND the bottle (lid could be removed and replaced with no damage to the shrink wrap). All of those negatives could be really easily overcome but the oil issue could be more serious.

Bear, I think we'd love it if you would weigh in here.

From what I've found oil base flavorings are cheaper. Going down to the mailbox now to see if I got my juice from him.

Well I got my order today from bearjuice. When I opened the package both bottles of juice had seperated liquids. I ordered spiced apple and neopolitan 100% vg and 16mg strength. I tried the spiced apple first after shaking the bottle up. It was very tasty, a lot of cinnamon flavor which produced a lot of throat hit and tons of vapor (vg). I like it. Then I tried the neopolitan and it was ok chocolatey with a hint of strawberry but the flavor was not that strong. Overall for the price $9.35 for 60ml I'm ok with it, the only thing I don't like is the liquids seperating (from the oil flavorings more than likely). I would recommend the spicy apple except for the fact of the flavoring oil, it's very good and I'm going to vape more and hope it doesn't kill my atty. Also the spiced apple seperates fairly quickly compared to the neopolitan.

Well I just went back to the bear juice site and it's no longer there, so he's either updating, quit the buisness or someone turned him in to paypal for selling e-juice.
Update: the neopolitan flavor is not that good afterall, after vaping a couple of carts it had a bad burnt taste, like some others have said about their juice, I'm just going to dump it. The spiced apple I still like, sort of like red hots candy, with tons of vapor, but I'll have to keep a seperate cart and atty for it as it is quite an overpowering flavor.

Did you ever consider the possibility that it may have been something besides the juice creating a burnt taste. You first said it was good, so how, after a few carts, can the juice all of a sudden start tasting burnt?

I ordered the menthol juice, and have been using it for days, no issues.

I hope they reestablish their web site.

I'm not sure, may have had something to do with the oil or the chocolate flavor he used. I had to boil out my atty and cart to get rid of the smell. I was going to throw it out but my son came home and said he wanted it. He tried it in his 801 and liked it at first but then the same thing happened to him with the awful burnt taste. Had to boil his atty out also. So I dumped it out and saved the bottle but I had to rinse it out in lemon juice and let it sit to get the funky chocolate smell out of the plastic.

I got my order, less than $10 for 2 30ml bottles seemed like a great deal...I got the cinnamon and vanilla 100% VG.

I had the same experience as most here, both totally separated. Shook them well, 2 hours later separated again. I won't use these as it has been reported here that vaping oils can cause some health issues. 10 bucks totally wasted...
