After seeing many rave reviews of Kick Bass Vapor, I decided to give them a try. After all, so many ecf members can't all be wrong.

First, let me say I was amazed at the service I received. I placed the order Friday evening. I decided to check on the progress of my order today (Monday) to see if they had started mixing it yet. I was astounded when the tracking notice indicated that my order was already in my town and out for delivery. I received my order a couple of hours later. I didn't realize that they were located just one state away from me. I guess that helps.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't attempt to judge a flavor the first day I receive it since most of the juices I've tried seem to need to steep a while. But the hand written note included in my package included the following instructions: "Shake and vape", so that's exactly what I did. I am impressed with all three flavors I ordered.

Fiddle Paddle Caramel Popcorn- I am a huge fan of TV's caramel popcorn so I ordered this to see how it compared. KBV's version was higher in VG with the expected results. There was a lot more vapor production with a bit less th. The flavor was spot on! This is a flavor I can vape all day long and never get tired of.

Monkey Bread- A coworker of mine used to make monkey bread and bring it in for us to eat. It was to die for! This juice has managed to catch that flavor perfectly. It has a sweet cinnamon bread flavor that provides a very smooth vape. It is not overpoweringly sweet. I can see this becoming a favorite of mine.

Kick Bass Candy Bar- I really think chocolate juices are the ultimate test of a supplier's skills. Everyone loves the taste of chocolate, but for some reason good chocolate juices are hard to find. I've ordered from 15-20 different companies looking for the perfect chocolate that doesn't have a perfumey smell or waxy taste. I have found a couple that were pretty good, but nothing compares to this! I'm not sure how they've done it, but they've managed to produce a true chocolate vape that requires no steeping. It has the perfect amount of sweetness.

The funny thing is I didn't even order the flavors most folks here at ecf tend to rave about. I can only imagine what they must be like. I am definitely looking forward to checking out more of their "jooces".

Yeah, OMG will most definitely be on my next order. There are just too many good reviews about it. I'm kind of hesitant to order the caramel capp though since I'm not a cappaccino fan. I'm one of those who loves plain black coffee with a bit of sweet and low in it. I've yet to find any coffee flavored anything I like. I've never even attempted to try any coffee flavor vapes.

Well, I generally don't drink coffee....and when we are out for breakfast, I will have a cup but I don't much at home...Anyway, Missy at KBV told me to try a sample...just try it...I did and I am so hooked....I ordered 2 30mls of it and I am already almost out of it. I love the stuff. My 1/2 day vape. It is that good. Ask Bob to include a sample in your order...I am confident you will be hooked also. They have incredible joose.

I did not ask for extra flavor and went with their standard 60/40 (vg/pg) mix. The reviews I've seen have said they have this balance of flavor thing down to an art so I decided to try what the experts (KBV) considered optimal and did not ask for any customization. I was most worried about the vg/pg mix since I usually order a 70/30 (pg/vg) mix. If anyone has tried their juices with more pg, I'd be interested in hearing what you think. Is the flavor as good as it is with their standard ratio?

Coffee (for drinking) is just an OK thing in my book-if I never had another sip of it I'd be alright, in other words. Which leads me to Carmel Capp-----IT"S SOOOOOOOO GOOD! I like it just the way it's flavored. Mine's 80pg 20vg 24mg. It's one of my few "all day vapes".. The only thing that I'd change about it is to add sweetner next time.

I too just had to try OMG. It did nothing for me. I can barely taste it. Really.

Snickerdoodle tastes delicious-makes you want a real cookie.

I order my juices 60pg 40vg 12mg from kickbass and love it I was scared at first to order it with that much VG due to my normal was 80pg 20vg. But kickbass at 60pg 40vg is my perfect ratio.

I like everything I've tried from them. I think Chocolate Covered Pretzel and Monkey Bread are my two favorites, although I also like Caramel Capp a lot too. I'm one who likes extra flavor, but haven't tried it from them, yet. I find their juices flavors to be right on, but are mild. One thing I've noticed about all of their juices is that they're very smooth. No bite, no icky aftertaste.

The service is great and the flavors are true. I'd highly recommend that everyone try KBV.

Their flavors are still quite good at 70/30. I have some of both since they didn't offer anything but the 40/60 when they first started and I jumped on the KBV bandwagon early. That being said, their 70/30 juices still underperform in the TH department a bit, but the sheer deliciousness of most of their flavors makes up for it. Their flavors, at least those that I have tried so far, also stand up to higher voltages very well and the higher voltage helps with the lack of TH I get at 3.7 (even with an LR Cisco) as well.

I'm vaping Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie at 5.8V (albeit with a 3.5 ohm atty) right now and I vaped Special K at work today with the same combination. But when I have run their juices through 5V with a 2.3 ohm atty (a combination that terrorizes some juices), they have done well as well. Snickerdoodle with that combination is absolutely wonderful in fact.

Try regular strength first and if is not to our liking, then add more flavor on the next order. HTH :)

Did you add extra flavoring? I'm getting ready to place an order and not having tried KBV, I'm not sure how much flavor it has to begin with. I don't like overwhelming flavors, but I don't want to be underwhelmed, either! :)

Just try regular strength first, if you need more flavor, add it the next time you order. HTH:)

Tigerlily~ When you roder, try and ask boB & yissM if they can send you a sample of the Caramel Cappuccino. Then you can decide if you would like it or not. It can't hurt :) It really is so very delicious. I vape it with my morning coffee. HTH :)
