Introducing Virgin Vapor: Organically Flavored E-liquids

[orachel]

I noticed another "juicer" offers a tea blend, specifically "Arnold Palmer".

I have to confess, I have been a big fan of an "Arnold Palmer" since I was VERY young- 1/2 strong sweet tea and 1/2 lemonade. I am amazed that so few know what that is, but I did grow up minutes from the Augusta National golf course and it was a routine staple in most restaurants and pro-shops!

I would submit that a great sweet-tea/lemonade mix would be incredible! I have yet to order from the others since I have such fond memories of an ice-cold "Arnie".

Respectfully submitting the suggestion for a lemon-tea blend; it is soooo nice to relax with! I say that, obliged to add that a traditional Arnie is even better with a splash of Absolut Citron!

Yes, YMMV!

Oh my gosh! That is so funny! I just mentioned an 'Arnold Palmer' Blend to Annette! rofl It is such a fabulous mix of flavors, and as good as the 'Sweet Summer Lemonade' is, its sure to be outstanding! That has the makings of being a phenomenal all day vape.

Joanr...I know what you mean about the ECO liquids. If you haven't tried the Velvet yet you will love it. I have compiled quite a stash and am having fun using my pillow dreams, vanilla mint and mint tingle to mix with other flavors. I will be buying larger bottles of them soon.

Okay..so what does everyone do with their empty bottles. I want to keep some for mixing my own creations but they build up quickly. Is there a way they can be sterlized and recycled? Or do I just need to pitch a few along the way?

Oh gosh, don't toss the gorgeous amber glass bottles! rofl If the shipping wouldn't make it prohibitive, I'd buy em from you. I just paid for some cobalt glass ones with my DIY supplies. I promise, you'll find an awesome use for em even if you don't use em all with DIY. You could (after soaking, of course, to get rid of residue.. a little lemonjuice in water gets rid of smells) fill em with different potpourri blends and stick a square of natural muslin over the top, tie a ribbon bow around neck, and voila! Instant gorgeous apothecary air fresheners for your bathrooms or closets. Yep, I'm a wacky crafter.

Iowa, I recycle mine by taking a little rubbing alky to get rid of the label adhesive, and then pop em in the dishwasher top rack. The dropper I just take off the rubber cap and run the tube under hot water. They come out nicely with no lingering smell or taste of the previous juice. I use them for my feeble attempts at DIY in between ordering Annette's fabulous creations. I've got em stacked up also, so right now I only save the Blue Eco bottles.

I'm just over the MOON right now! I finally got my recent VV order. Annette shipped em super quick, but for some reason they just wouldn't show up. I was sure that my USPS mailman was somewhere chuckling deviously while he vaped his head off with my VV goodies!

Anyway, I'm trying out a bunch of new to me flavors, and each one of them is just outstanding! First of all.. I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but I believe I have a new 'absolute fave' juice. Up till now its been Blueberry Cheesecake. Its still astoundingly good, but i think I might like the "Mango Mint Julep" even better! This stuff is out of this world. Its definitely the cleanest, freshest tasting thing I've ever vaped. This stuff just tastes healthy! Someone mentioned in the reviews that it tastes like chewing actual mint leaves... That is such a dead on truth. This doesn't taste like a mint flavor, it really does taste like natural mint leaves. And the mango with it is perfect, even down to that little sour undertone you get with ripe mangos. So outstanding!

The Peach Vanilla Swirl is a really mild flavor. Not watered down, but mellow. I was amazed by how 'juicy' the peach flavor tastes. And it definitely is like really fresh slices of peaches in vanilla cream. Not at all like 'peachy' flavored jolly rancher candy, which is what most peaches I've tried have been bad versions of. This is a really sweet very natural flavor. Delicious! I think its safe to say that I'm gonna love all of Annette's 'vanilla swirl' flavors, if the Peach and Blackberry are indicative of the rest.

The ButterCream Mint is just divine! I absolutely love this stuff, and can't wait till I can get big bottles of this and the Vanilla mint to whip up some of Kittiepie's 'Angel Pillows'. So subtly sweet and delicious! Does taste just like those little colored italian mints!

And the taster of Annette's Sweet Tea was absolutely out of this world. Definitely one of my fave flavors, ever! Can't wait till its in the store! And its so different than any other VV flavor that i've tried to date.. you guys are gonna love it! I tasted a lot more in this than just plain old sweet tea. It was so unique and a little exotic. I just flat out adored it! Really a relaxing vape, if that makes sense.

So, that's my lowdown on my most recent flavors. Of course, as soon as I tasted the Mango Mint Julep, I had to trot right over to the store and get an ounce bottle of it, because I sure don't want to run out of this one! Grabbed the Sweet Summer Lemonade in a larger size, too, since that's one of my very faves, and as always picked up another sampler. This time I'm trying 'Hot Buttered Rum (because you guys made it sound so amazing!), Bananas Foster (no reviews on this one, but I'm sure annette's version is great!), and the Mint Tingle, since the Mango Mint Julep was so incredible, I just had to try the intense tingly mint.

BTW, I'll make sure to add my reviews to site, soon, Miss Annette!


Oooh, and Happy Birthday, Miss Pheisty!!! Hope you have a fantastic indulgent day!

Oh gosh, don't toss the gorgeous amber glass bottles! rofl If the shipping wouldn't make it prohibitive, I'd buy em from you.

Just a thought...

Any thoughts of a VV "Recycling Program"?

By that I mean if you ship the empties back to Annette with an order, any thoughts of a discounted refill? I would be happy to do it just because it would save on waste, but maybe a few penny discount would encourage repeat business?

Just throwing it out there.... May be way more trouble than it's really worth but a thought...

BTW, there definitely seems to be something going on with USPS. I order just about everything shipped, and things are taking MUCH MUCH longer than usual to get to me (not just VV, but lots of vendors). A few of you guys have pm'd me that you're having the same issue. My stuff shipped on 5th, and I didn't get it till the 9th, and I'm in the state right next to Annette.

I just wanted to mention that so you guys are aware that shipping from USPS might be taking longer than usual, so you might want to order your liquids/cartos and such earlier than you usually would so you don't run out. I've heard there is something going on with USPS... they might suspend Saturday deliver due to budget? Not sure if that is related or not, but I know in my area I flat out cant get my ecig supplies locally, so wanted to throw out a warning just in case. Wouldn't want anyone to be tempted by analogs because shipping is slower than usual.

Pheisty, Best Birthday Wishes! Hope it's a good one.

Thanks, Joanr! Can't wait to get to Green Bay for some major tailgating!!

I appreciate all of the birthday wishes, VV friends!

 

[Iowa Gal]

Have a Very Happy Birthday Pheisty and enjoy the game. Hope everyone has a great weekend...I'm going to spend the weekend with my daughter and sister - we are going to see Wicked. Soooooooo excited.

 

[Larkfour]

Happy Birthday Pheisty!
My 30 yr old daughter came over today (one of those social smokers) and I had a great time introducing her to Annette's Mango Mint. Julep. Today she was amazed to spend time with me without seeing me smoking.....smoking.....smoking; and today I managed to see her enjoy Vaping .... Vaping .... Vaping

 

[EleanorR]

You've got way more will power than I do, are you this good with saving money also?

Umm, NO!

Eleanor I can't believe you have the will power to wait an entire week Make sure you keep your evening open next Thursday so you can relax and enjoy your new treats...

[Hanging head in shame:] Weeeeell, ya know that carto I mentioned filling? About 8:30pm last night I dove into it, and vaped it all gone . . .

But I swear all the rest of my VV juice is going to get the full weeks' sleep!

I also may have made a boo-boo in ordering everything with extra-flavor, as I also got everything in an 80/20 PG/VG blend. Oooooph! I think I'll see if using a horizontal coil carto on a lower-voltage battery "tones" things down a bit -- that combo usually does.

Happy Friday and Veteran's Day everyone! No juice for me yesterday, maybe tomorrow.

"Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow; never jam today!"

 

[orachel]

Good for you, Larkfour! That's fantastic! And seriously, that mango mint julep is astoundingly tasty stuff! So cool that a smoker got to enjoy it. That's a big plus in the vaping over smoking!

 

[minx]

Happy Birthday Pheisty! Hope you enjoy your day

Bananas Foster (no reviews on this one, but I'm sure annette's version is great!),
!

Bananas Foster is delicious! My first order was 2 sample packs, that was the first bottle empty and one of the flavors I reordered, I love it. I'm going to have to check out the Mango Mint Julep next time too.
Tomorrow is mailman stalking day for me! Just in time too I'm down to the last of my first order. Tonight I put the last of my Bella Amaretto in my tank, and after sitting for a week (sample pack xtra flavor) it may be the one flavor that I would order in regular flavor strength, still delicious but stronger now. I had some pillow dreams left so I added that to the tank and wow they taste good together. I had trouble tasting the pillow dreams (it's me not the juice) solo, but found when I mixed it with something, that's when the flavor would pop and I could actually isolate each flavor.
Another thing I noticed about Annette's juice, my daughter was sitting across from me vaping my Bella Amaretto/Pillow dreams mix and exhaling in my direction. The smell of it was heavenly lol , something I had never noticed when she has vape some of my other vendor juices.

Today is my 90th day without an Analog. So happy!! I got my latest package from Annette this morning (didn't check the post box yesterday). Got my first oder of "0" MG juice. Trying to get down to "0" by the end of the year. Been on 5mg for awhile now.

I want to report on the sample that Annette sent over of the Sweet Tea. I really really liked it. I have problems some times with my taste buds and this one I have not problem tasting. I will order some if she puts it on the site.

One question: I switched over to 100% VG in my last order from the 80/20. Don't know if this is a coincidence, but I have had this weird feeling (like tickling & runny) in my nose since then. I am not sick, just my nose feels weird. Also my nose feels very cold sometimes. Anyone else have this feeling with 100% VG?

Yep. My theory is that since PG majorly dries out your mucous membranes, that some people when they switch to straight VG get a lil stuffy and congestion-y for a few days when their body starts to regulate. It lasted about.. um.. maybe 4 or 5 days for me. I wouldn't worry about it unless it lasts much longer than standard 'detox' symptoms.. maybe 2 weeks or so. Hope you feel better soon!

And whoohoo for you! 3 whole months! That is worthy of some sort of celebration, for sure! BTW, three months .... free was about when my tastebuds started to come back, so you might notice that you taste stuff better, soon! Crossing fingers! I LOVED the Sweet Tea, too! Question, did you get some really delicious sweet blossomy flavor with it? SUCH a unique flavor. Reminds me of orange blossoms..not the orange taste, but the blossoms themselves. I can't wait till its in store.

Oh, I'm excited now, thanks!! I couldn't figure out why there weren't any reviews on it, but i felt pretty confident ordering it since there's nothing of Annette's that i found 'unvapable'. Pretty impressive, since with other vendors about half the flavors I ordered I couldn't stand. And I'm definitely trying that Bella Amaretto in my next order! It sounds so amazing, and there was a great video review done by Pheisty that got me all excited about it. I was dying to get it this time, but then I had to get the Mint Tingle just cause the MMJulep wowed me so outrageously. And you are gonna LUUURRRVE the Mango Mint Julep!

I too have noticed the shipping is bad with USPS right now. I have 4 juice orders and none of them are here yet! Two are coming from states right by me, 1 of course if from the wonderful Annette, and the other is from somewhere in the mid-west! I am going to be selecting priority mail for a while and paying the extra few dollars. I ran out of juice Thursday evening and found out there was a local (2 hr. drive) store near me so I went there yesterday so that I didn't go back to analogs but for yourself and others without this option OMG!!!

Got my prize pack the other day and tried the Black Cherry Marshmallow first. Let's just say, my sample bottle is GONE!! OMG, I am in love! My next order will include a big bottle of this one...YUM!!!
