I agree with Ty... I don't take the cap off - if I did I would prbably spill it:) I think sitting for a couple of days just lets everything mellow. Everyone have a Great Weekend....I will be trying to get laundry caught up and switching out my summer wardrobe for fall/winter. Someday I hope to have a walk in closet so I don't have to switch everything out each season...but for now I do...

By the way... Joanr where are you????

It was only a matter of time until others found out about Annette's great flavors and awesome customer service

Another quick pop-in to say that I continue recommending VV whenever I get the chance at ECF. Haven't found a place that can match VV's gourmet quality and service. Great folks here in the sub-forum, too, beginning with Annette herself.

When you steep, do you just keep the cap off for a few days? Just want to make sure I am doing it right.
I asked Annette that very question yesterday, her reply was that there's no need to uncap it. It increases the possibility of getting contaminated. I think I'm going to get into my ECO blueberry cheesecake today, it's been steeping about a week now, can't wait any longer!

Hi Everyone, hope it's a great weekend for all! I've been here reading, but real busy week for me doing the taxi shuttle for my kids who don't drive. I caved in and ordered large bottles of Vanilla Peach Swirl and Creme Caramel yesterday.

Oh wow! Can't wait to hear how it tastes! I'd love to know how much more you like it than the orig Blueberry Cheescake... You know... just to torture myself. lol I'm waiting on a big bottle of Blueberry Cheesecake and this time I ordered it a tiny bit heavier on the cheesecake. ;)

I've read through about 30 pages of this thread.....can't read anymore, lol. What is the point in reading 200 more pages of rave reviews? But, I have some questions of Annette or some of you experienced with her juices.

My PV is a Riva 510 and I'm using C.C.V. LR cartos which I am liking very much. I don't want to clog my cartos or have wicking problems so how much should I have the juice thinned to accomodate my equipment? Should I have it thinned with distilled water or PG? I have no problems vaping PG. Which would keep the flavor more true?

I've only been vaping about 6 weeks now and have been successful in keeping off the analogs but it just seems like all the juices I've gotten, from several different sources, either taste chemical-ish, are strong with the first few drags and then quickly tail off in taste or are just plain nasty. I've pretty much decided from what I've gotten so far that I like the menthols best. They seem to more closely replicate (for me) the taste and feel I got from analogs. But, I've had a couple that are like inhaling Vicks...yuck! I really, really want to like the more sweet flavors but none of the ones I've gotten do it for me. I got a caramel cappuccino from KBV that was revolting even though I love coffee. It tasted exactly like burned caramel corn and the mocha ice cream I got.....well, yuck! There are a few others that haven't been bad but nothing that I want to vape all day long. I want to try the Kona Coffee milkshake based on reviews. I would take any recommendations for what tastes great with coffee (had to have my coffee and cigs first thing in the morning) and an occasional glass of wine. I really loved to sit down and relax with a glass of wine and a cig. Other than that, I'm just searching for an all day vape. I don't really want to switch flavors around all day long. A menthol or minty flavor there would probably be just the thing I'm guessing.

Sorry this got a little long but I'm tiring quickly of spending tons of money on juice only to find I don't like it. So, VV cheerleaders what do you say? Thanks!

Thanks for all the info on Steeping. I get it now..:). Just so hard not to just dig into the juices when they arrive. I have put all the caps back on tight.

Kjonesy it is hard to wait, especially with VV juices. The reason some peeps take the cap off while steeping is to evaporate any alchohol smell or taste in the juice as a result of the base in the flavorings having alchohol. Most times this is gone by the time you get your juice so it wouldn't apply, but occasionally a 24hr airing out is needed. I haven't had to do this with any of Annette's juices but sometimes if you get extra flavor from a vendor it's necessary.

Annette's juice should be thin enough for any PV. Best wicking out of all the vendors I've tried. I hope you love the Kona Coffee Milkshake...I do! If you like menthol I highly recommend trying her Moondrops too! I like them straight and mixed with just about anything. The caramel kettle corn is yummy too...but definitely needs to steep.
Good luck finding your go to juice.

gr82cu2, I use Annette's juices in cartos with no clogging or wicking issues at all. Also, you do not loose any of the flavor by asking for it thinned, because Annette compensates by adding more flavor, so the flavors stay true. I order all mine with extra flavor, because I have a hard time tasing e-liquid flavors...never been a problem since I started ordering from Annette! :) Her Kona Coffee Milkshake is awesome and I also really like her Caramel Kona Coffee Milkshake (you can order this in the regular base, instead of the Eco base), as the Caramel smooths out the coffee flavor, for a great evening vape. I totally know what you mean about wasting $ on juices that taste horrible...been there, done that...but I can honestly say Annette's juices are the best I have ever tried!! Hope this helps you some, but if you have a ny other questions, please feel free to ask. :)

You don't ask for it to be thinned at all? :unsure: Haha, like I said I'm pretty new to this and all I've been reading (it seems) is 100% vg is too thick for cartos. I think I'm like you with the tasting. My taste buds are totally shot from 35 years of smoking :( So, I think I need strong flavors but not burnt coffee, lol.

For a juice that is 100% VG the viscosity of this juice is actually thinner than many of my pg/vg juices from other vendors. I was very surprised. I have used it on cartomizers and w/ a tanked cartomizer as well as dripped on various atty's and have had no wicking issues at all. gr82cu2 I had the same experience the caramel capp flavor you mentioned and it has turned me off to vaping coffee flavors, all these rave reviews on VVs kona milkshake, I am going to have to give it a try. As far as mint (same experience again with menthol vapes), I tried Annette's Butter Cream Mint and it is amazing, smooth, creamy, yum. As far as your taste buds go, they come back! Pretty soon you will be tasting all sorts of things you never knew you weren't tasting before lol .

Ordering the extra flavor option thins it out some anyways. Most VG juices I have tried were too thick, but not Annette's! Her Esspresso is another great coffeee flavor and you can even order it with cream and sugar. :)

Thanks for the info. One question: How much alcohol is in the juices? The only reason I ask is that sometimes I feel like I a bit spacey & was wondering if there was alcohol in the juices...I have felt this off & on from different juices from all the vendors.

There should not be enough alcohol in any e-liquids to cause you to feel spacey...maybe that feeling is from too much nic? The alcohol in the flavoring should be minimal...at least with Annette's. :)

I just switched over to 100% VG with Annette (was doing the 80/20 in my first few orders). I use Cartos with my Ego & have zero problems with the 100% VG so far. Didn't even notice any difference to be honest. There is just something different about Annette's juices. Also with the dropper that comes with the bottles, it is so much easier to put in the right amount of liquide without flooding out the cartos. I used to always have to blow out all the excess with the other vendor's juices, but with VV, that does not happen.

Awesome, thanks!

I will try the Kona Coffee milkshake definitely and also the butter cream mint which sounds heavenly. My sense of smell has returned with a vengeance but no difference in taste yet.

Mmmmm espresso with cream and sugar, now we're talking :)

OK. Must put down the e-cig every so often :). It is probably the case that I am over doing it even though I am doing the lowest nic she offeres.

LOL:laugh:...I have hard time putting it down too! I also vape the lowest mg she offers, so what I have started to do sometimes, is order 1 or 2 bottles of 0 nic and either mix that in with some 5 mg, to get 2.5 mg or just vape the 0 mg. when I know I'll be vaping a lot. Most times I don't even notice it is less or no nic. As long as I have my nic in the morning, after meals...you know, all the normal times we feel we MUST have it, I'm good. :)

0 nic is a good idea Ty for those extra stressed out times. I vape way more than I smoked. I don't think it's nic associated. I just love the flavors, they taste so good I can't stop vaping them. Also they help me cut down the snacking during the day. Now that I'm home I find myself wanting to eat more between meals, so instead I grab the PV.

Tyleris12 -- I already use Annette/Virgin Vapors and she does offer fantastic customer service as well as a willingness to create the flavors you like. I am a VG vaper, as well, and she has worked with me to make the best flavors I have had to date. Needed "double flavor" instead of just "extra flavor" since I use an EGO Tank, as well. Just received this week and they are perfect! So glad I found Annette!!
