Kona Velvet Milkshake.... smooth

[fatherdano]

This could probaly go in the review section but wow.

Steeped one day and its so silky smooth. Virgin Vapor? are there other smooth juices out there? not neccesarrily coffee ones either.

 

[Buggs5347]

Yes, that is a good one. VV's Caramel Kona Milkshake is really good, too.
I also really liked VV's Butter Cream Mint.

I'm not sure what you mean by "smooth".

it taste real, no fake flavor stuff. i was surprised i didn't have to do the 'steep' thing other than overnight.

its a very thin juice

Ms T's Snickerdoodle is like eating the cookie. Amazing juice.

I read a review on Spinfuel; I ordered 4:

Kona Velvet;
Organic Vanilla;
Cherry Vanilla;
Blackberry Vanilla Swirl.

Nice to see good reviews about the Kona--I haven't tried a coffee vape yet.

I think in 2012 it was voted #2 e-liquid here on ECF.

Um, or was it 2011? Not the last poll but the one before that.

I loved dripping the VVs I got. I'm still having a hard time with it in a clearo, but the flavors are definitely amazing.

I liked this and the Kona coffee milkshake which had a stronger coffee flavor. Gotta try the caramel version next order. Do any of u find that these flavor hard on the atty coil?

I tried the Kona Coffee Milkshake and hated it. I really need to try the Kona Velvet Milkshake.

VV's Creme Caramel is really good for mixing with other juices. If you've got some juice with a little too much bite, or just needs a touch of sweetness, the Creme Caramel works great.

Some one mentioned this the other day....I must try this...ASAP!

It was 2011, and that was the Kona Coffee Milkshake, not the Kona Velvet Milkshake. I've got both, I prefer the Velvet. It IS a "smooth" vape. I would describe it more as very "satisfying". A very complex flavor; vaped with various voltages brings out different flavor backgrounds. I liken it to a fine coffee house frappecino in flavor.

It's easily my all time favorite flavor.

Baditude, in your opinion, if I don't like the Kona Coffee Milkshake (hated it, in fact), is there any chance I'll like the Kona Velvet Milkshake? I.e., are the flavors similar?

I'm pretty much from the school of "Trick Me Once, Shame on You. Trick Me Twice, Shame on Me."

They are similar. If you hated the Coffee Milkshake, I doubt you'd like the Velvet. Both have the Kona coffee as the primary flavor, but differ in the background notes. The Velvet to me is a more complex flavor, with more than one background notes, which I detect depending upon the voltage used.

The Velvet comes pre-steeped, while the Coffee does not, if I recall. So, you might wish to revisit it after 2-3 weeks if you have not already. This can make a relatively big difference with coffee flavors, and juices that use organic flavorings and high VG juices in general, which don't carry flavoring agents as well as PG does and require a little more time to blend.

I might have to give the velvet a try myself.Bad you wanna trade some Velvet for some Hype?

 

[corruption42]

I echo everything Bad says -- its definitely one of my favorites. I often mix Kona Velvet and Caramel Kona together, and I think I might like it better than either one alone. zapped, give it a try, you won't regret it.

Fatherdano: are you looking for other Virgin flavors, or other vendors with similarly realistic flavors? If the former, my personal favorites from Virgin are: Kona Velvet Milkshake, Caramel Kona Milkshake, Strawberry Granita, Vanilla Blackberry Swirl, and my wife puffs on their Peach and Apple mixed 50/50 all day long. As for other flavors -- I hear great things about Mt. Baker, and have had great luck with realistic flavors from Highbrow Vapor and Heathers Heavenly Vapor -- the Highbrow cheesecake, and Heather's black and blue are fabulous as well

Thanks for your thoughts. My Kona Coffee Milkshake is several months old, and the taste has not improved. Well, I haven't tried it in a month or so. I'll try it again tomorrow. It steeped for two days with the cap off, and was shaken periodically. I took the cap off again after a month or so.

So, it is fully steeped. If I don't like it tomorrow, I ain't gonna like it.

No trading my favorite all time juice. I will have to put Hype on my "Need to Try Flavors" list. Fruit flavors are my second favorite flavor niche after good coffee flavors.

I have to give a shout out to Dripeez and Vaperite as flavors that I have gravitated to over the last few months in addition to Virgin Vapors. All three use primarily VG (although they will customize with a variety of PG/VG ratios to your liking), and use all-natural and all-organic flavorings which I have to attribute being a reason for being my three favorite juice vendors.

I've found the great majority of the flavors that I have gotten from them to be authentic to descriptionand to have clean pure flavors with no hint of artificial, candy-like taste. Some of these flavors do benefit from some steeping, which is pretty commonplace for vg liquids, and organic flavors in general.

i'm glad its not just me.


i liked it and thought it might be a cool vape for others, you don't want to know what vapemail came today.(DW is gonna kill me)

My wife used to get mad at me, then I gently remind her that we were spending over 300 bucks a month EACH on the stinkies... now she just rolls her eyes as another batch of juices rolls in

 

[fatherdano]

I'm thinking to make sure deliveries are at a certain time of the month might be better than at other times. i mean really, what do i know after 6 kids and 20 yrs of marital bliss. ")
