They both seem to have a similar pricing strategery.

ITCV has just a few more customer comment pages here.

Which of the two has the BETTER FOOB juices?? (reviews seem to indicate, as I have found, that ITCV are at least OK FOOB, while almost every review I read for VW seems to REQUIRE Weeks of steeping.) This is a MAJOR consideration for me.

I am actually also a little dissuaded From VW for How Many flavors they have. My inclination is it's easier to get Really Good at a small number of flavors (ITCV?) that it is to nail it dead on on 100+ flavors.

FOOB, darn new words and meanings.

Fresh out of BOX???????

To me both need a little steep time. Both have flavors that are Good of the the mailbox and others that need to steep.

I test first day and go from there.....

it also depends on if you are dripping or using a tank....

Some drip great and suck in a tank at first, then later taste good in a tank....

I also like places with fewer juices but i have found VW has some flavors that are not found elsewhere, so it is a game of look and see....

I have used both and find each has their good juices and others just are not in my taste profile....

Note to self........Now remember to keep up wit the new wordage.....

I use both and enjoy them, but I always steep them. All of them. As you know by now, I think the savings is worth the extra time spent.

If you're looking for something that can be enjoyed right away at a somewhat higher (but still reasonable) price, I can recommend NiteLiteVapor (bought at PVLiquids). They have a moderate selection of flavors, and they only blend in 65/35 PG-VG ratio. They're also running a coupon code that ends tonight: details on the web page.

P.S. I see from another of your posts that you've already found NLV. FYI, they do have some other non-tobacco flavors among their recent releases.

I used to vape a lot of great premium juice, but money is tight these days. Of course ITC and Vape Wild are not quite up to the complexity of some of those premium juices, but I was surprised that I like a few of VW's flavors. I did not however like what I tried from ITC at all.

The juice I tried from ITC all had the same underlying off taste to me, not unvapable, but not enjoyable either.

Vape Wild has several juices I like, a couple are good FOOB, but they all get better with time. Personally I think they do better with creams than they do with fruits which is disappointing because I like fruits.

Mostly I would recommend getting a sample from both and seeing what YOU like better. There are people with the exact opposite opinion than mine. :)

Almost all of NLV juices have some degree of tobacco aspect to them so far as I saw. Not interested in a tobacco taste.

I know this thread isn't about NLV, but you seem to be under a misconception about their liquids. Most of their liquids are not tobacco vapes, and only 3-4 have a strong tobacco impact. Many of their bestsellers, like Bounty Hunter and Gold, although listed as tobacco flavors, the impact is very light and they are more bakery/sweet vapes. Bounty Hunter tastes more like vanilla drenched rice krispie treats than tobacco, to me. Their liquids are clean, budget friendly and ready to vape out of the mail. And most of their latest additions are fruit or dessert flavors.

As for the main discussion, I've only had ITCvapes, although Vape Wild is on my to try list. Out of about a dozen I have tried, I've only disliked 2 from ITCVapes, and one of those turned around after a week's steep. Most have been good to great FOOB.

The bottles usually don't show up in a box, its a padded mailer. Which is more like an envelope. Unless you are talking about the mailbox. Shouldn't it be FOOM? Fresh out of the mailbox, doesn't really sound correct in English. How about "right out of the package" or ROOP or FOOP? TBH these acronyms are ridiculous.

Anyway, ITC is better than VW, but gunks coils more. Also VW's hard plastic bottles suck. Both are perfectly acceptable for cheap juice and better than most MBV. Also take a look at ecblend, another one of the cheaper vendors I come back to every once in a while.

Yes, the coil gunk gets to me after a while. But on the PLUS side of the equation is that none of their [ITCVapes] liquids crack plastic/polycarb tanks, not even the banana or citrus. So I tend to put up with the gunking for piece of mind.

I tried to like ITC but most of what I ordered didn't appeal to me and I had some QC/consistency problems with the juice I did like. Tried over 30 flavors from VW. Only two of them I would call bad: RY4Life and Vanilla Tobacco.

Most of the VW desserts I've tried are good FOOB and they get better over time. A lot of their fruit and beverage flavors are good right away for me. I used to smoke 2PAD of premium brand cigs so I could order all the expensive juice I want but would rather stick with VW and Nite Lite, for the most part. I do occasionally order from the more expensive vendors and that's good, too.

With VW sample packs costing only $17 for 60ml and free shipping for $25 and up, they're worth a try.

I've never placed an order with / sampled any juice from VapeWild, so I can't comment on how they compare to ITC (from which I've recently placed / received my first order).

Of the two flavors I received from ITC, one of them was quite good FOOB (Bananaberry Dream). The other (Spoonlicker OG) needs 2 - 4 weeks before it's ready, and I will reserve judgement until then.

One thing is for certain -- by and large, ITC seems to be outperforming their prices. $20 for 120, $36 for 240 ml... that's hard to beat.

On another note -- should you decide to place an order with ITC, I strongly recommend you order 15ml samples of each flavor first. It's easy to give in to the temptation to go straight for the 120ml bottle given the amazing value... but I can tell you from personal experience that it really sucks to have 120ml of e-juice that you do not like, regardless of how much it cost.

It's funny how some do order the bigger bottle first. I always order small then big if I like it enough.

but to each their own......

VW does seem to load up orders with samples, I have found.... not a bad thing as I found some I would never ordered that did taste good and I re-ordered some.



Seems the new system does not allow for deleting posts now.
Bummer I know.

I just tried both over the last month. Vape Wild just doesn't do it for me; something about the hit it gives me just tastes sort of...cheap? Not to be mean, just my take. I do like the variety though.

I like ITC better. Their juices seem a bit more quality and unique. They're a bit thicker too, and seem sweeter to me, but in a rich vape sort of way. I actually really like the flavors, just too strong for my liking.

Yeah, so neither brand really stuck with me. Maybe my rambling will help. In short, I'd try ITC first, but a couple samplers only are the way to go. The amount of money I've spent on trying just one taste of a juice that I'll never touch again...should be a crime.

I don't know if they screwed up my bottles or what but I got like 8 flavors from vape wild and they were all terrible except vanilla clouds, it was sub par but at least vapeable, the rest of the entire order wasn't even in a vapeable league, it was just too gross for me I couldn't finish any of them. I suspect they screwed up the mixing, but that's a lot of mistakes to make, and even so I won't take the chance again.

ITC is ok, I haven't had a bad flavor from them, some of them are pretty good to my palate, but nothing that has blown me away. Nilla Gorilla is nice and pretty good FOOB. ITC has become my reliable source at this point for cheap juice that is decent, important to have if you vape 15 mls or more a day like me ><

MBV I place between these two, with ITC coming out on top, by quite a long shot, IMO. It's all subjective here.

Also NLV's website is ghetto but their juice is excellent, it's not super cheap but not too steep either, if you ever try them give Gold a shot that was my adv for a long time and I still buy it pretty regularly.

I find the quality with ITC to be much better than VW. Sure VW gives out free samples like crazy but i tried every single one of their tobaccos and they were all terrible. Very soapy and perfumy. ITC on the other hand has one of my ADV's which i prefer over bigger name brands like Nicoticket and GEJ. Not to mention it's like 1/4 the price.
