A question or 2 for anyone who has tried this juice. Does it have more flavor at 70/30 or 60/40, and should I get the extra flavor shot in it? My enter key is not working on this site to make new paragraphs so I do apologize for the messy post here. Another question, how does Kick Bass Vapor rank vs other juice vendors in terms of flavor? Strength of flavor, quality of flavor, and how much it tastes like it is supposed to? I'm a new vaper, and the sheer amount of juice vendors is a bit overwhelming. I don't mind to pay a little more for my juice, I just really want my juice to pack a lot of flavor (in a tasty way, not overpowering headache style), and taste like what its supposed to be, rather than, for example - ordering a blueberry pie, that tastes good, but its more like a caramel sundae. Anyone mind to help the new guy a little? :)

You'll notice very little difference from 70/30 to 60/40 since it's a pretty small difference in pg/vg percentage. You may notice a tad more vapor from the 60/40 and a tad more flavor and throat hit from the 70/30, but the difference is hardly worth mentioning.

KickBassVapor makes good juice. Not hugely popular but have a decent fan base. It's been a long time since I've ordered from them, but really enjoyed several of there flavors. Since you're a new vaper and looking for a lot of flavor, I suggest getting the extra flavor shot from them.

I wasn't a big fan of OMG. Wasn't a bad juice, just didn't click for me personally. The one's that clicked for me were Strawberry Pie, Gooey Better Cake, and Hummingbird Nectar. Not suggesting them over OMG since we could have very differenct preferences, but those I really enjoyed. Gooey Better Cake is kind of a must-try from them, they were almost famous for that flavor in times past.

You could do a lot worse than Kick Bass Vapor. I think they're a fantastic vendor to start with.

Having problems replying.

Their mixes are 60vg/40pg and 30vg/70 pg, that's why I thought it might be a huge flavor difference. PG seems to hold flavor better from my limited experiences. Strawberry pie is really high on my list to try, did you try the 60/40 or 30/70? and Extra flavor shot? Did it have a good strong strawberry flavor? If you can remember :) Thanks very much for the reply!

Ahh I see. Yes there will be a noticable difference between those two ratios. The higher VG will provide more vapor and the higher PG more throat hit, but with a flavor shot I think the flavor would be fine for both. I don't remember the ratio I had gotten, but I did get the extra flavor shot. I'd suggest trying both ratios if you order more than one, good to experiment early on. I'm actually not too picky on my pg/vg ratio, some people are.

Yeah the Strawberry Pie had a real nice strawberry flavor. Not candy and not fresh fruit, but the flavor you get from a strawberry pie filling. If I remember right, the flavor of the crust came out well too with a little butteriness.

KBV has been my primary vendor for over a year and Gooey Better Cake has been my all day vape for a very long time. I liked OMG but I prefer the GBC. I prefer the extra flavor too. Equally important is the fact that their customer service is very good and shipping time is quicker than other vendors I've tried.

I think I've tried about every KickBass flavor - they were my favorite for a good while and at that point I'd tried many. I think their bakery flavors are their best - I also loved the Gooey Batter Cake and Strawberry Pie - also the Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Birthday Cake. Loved the Caramel Capp, too. I always asked for flavor shot and extra sweetener because I was in a deep sweet tooth stage. OMG is kind of hard to nail; caramel and undertones that everyone disagreed on. It's popular, never my favorite of theirs but a good bit better than many vendor's best. You say you're looking for a reasonably priced juice that packs a lot of flavor and is pretty authentic - I think you'll be pleased.
Tell ya what else - boB and yssiM are the nicest people in the world and will be glad to work with you. Fast delivery and terrific customer service. I miss their crazy, fun, huge thread in here.

How do you guys think KBV rank compared to other vendors? Flavor wise? I don't mind to spend a little more per bottle personally, but I want it to be worth it! lol. So far I've only tried their apple jolly rancher, and their ry4. The flavors are pretty nice. Does it get better than this? I've only been vaping about 2 weeks now, did I hit a gold mine with finding KBV so early in my vaping career? :)

You're going to have to find out the answers for yourself on those question, since it's personal preference opinions that will differ person to person, but I can answer those for myself.

Rank compared to other vendors? Much better than the cheap generic juices like MadVapes. The several that I've had from KBV ranged from not-for-me to very good. The flavors are well thought out and well done. I mainly order extracted tobaccos these days, but I'd order from them one day for the few I really liked.

Does it get better than this? For me absolutely, the vendors that are extracting there own tobaccos and sometimes even there own flavors are doing some great things. KBV are more mixers than creaters. Many people are more than happy sticking with one vendor but I'm more of a seeker, however you want to take your hobby is up to you. Lot's of roads to take.

If you like them, that's all that counts.

I mostly DIY now but like many of their e-liquids.

I tried a few other vendors when I started vaping mainly because when KBV was popular here on the boards, they had a very small window of opportunity to order, which I always missed. Even though I'm very happy with KBV, I wanted to branch out and try other vendors. I've been pretty displeased with most. The juices never tasted as advertised, shipping time was horrible and customer service sorely lacking. With KBV, the juices are spot on (especially if you like bakery flavors), shipping time is great and Bob and Missy go the extra mile for their customers.

I've often wondered why their thread is dead now though.
