Viking Vapor!! I've ordered (orange flavor) from Aroma e-liquid (so far my best experience), second I ordered (Rum) from Vapor Pro (great taste but weak TH) then I ordered Mar-bow from VV. 1: it took an entire week to arrive, I watched the order status and it sat in "processing" for 3 days before it even shipped, and 2: I tried it out in a freshly cleaned atty and almost puked! :censored: Needless to say, I dumped it! I guess the saying holds truth: you get what you pay for!!

The 'processing' part is where your juice was hand mixed. Unlike many juice suppliers, VV mixes your juices to order. This sometimes takes time... Also, VV juices often take a few days to settle (as they are hand mixed and sometimes the flavors don't merge immediately) so often what starts out tasting disgusting might turn out to be the greatest thing you have vaped! I'm sorry that you had a bad experience but it might not have been as bad as you initially thought...

I had bought several flavors from a hand mixed place that will remain unnamed. I got em an tried each one, only one was any good so thats what I vaped for a few weeks, I couldn't stand the other 3 they were awful...but two weeks later and they are absolutely the most wonderful tasting vape ever. I am sorry if it was truly bad, but there are many suppliers that their juice needs to steep a few weeks, give that a try next time before you toss it.

Good info, I did not know that.

By the way, when you get a juice that you dont care for (I have about 25 I dont care for, and 7 that I do) I have been trading in the classified, and in Pay it forward. Juices that you dont care for will most certainly be liked by someone else, and you can grab something in PIF that you want to have. I also have many of those 25 in a dark place in hopes that the flavors change a little.

I have five flavors from Viking Vapor and loved them all except one...and I'm very, very picky. ;) Although, I have to say that they didn't become really good until two weeks after I received them. I really do believe that some liquids need to steep, and VV's most definitely need to steep.

The ones I've purchased are:

Marshmallow
Cotton Candy
Eggnog (TRUE eggnog flavor and very good, but WAY to potent for this chick)
S'Mores
Saltwater Taffy (Completely disgusting...even after steeping. YUCK. Just yuck.)

Give it a couple weeks and try them then. And yes, please keep in mind that VV makes your juices to order, so that's why it takes a few days to get them sent.

I can not agree or disagree with the OP.

I like consistency in my juice, and the hand mixers seem to change the formulas every order. Dekang may be nasty, but it is consistently nasty, and still better than analogs.

I have not found a "custom hand mix" that I can vape. Not that it is bad, but I do not like taking chances of them being different every time I order.

One of the MOST popular mixers here sent me some juice that EVERYONE raves about, and I can not stand it. It is their blend of my all day vape, but it makes me sick.

I also find that "custom" juice made with food flavorings, and dark colors clogs up my equipment and leaks worse that the "mass produced stuff."

Hello, I would like to ask the OP what he thought about us and our flavor. If I read it right it sounded like we were the best of his experience. However it still did read like a stellar review for Aroma. Please let me know what you were displeased with?

I've heard that on this forum numerous times .....and I've taken the advice....and waited for the juice to "shine"? I respectfully disagree, because it was garbage when I first bought "it", and a month later... "its" still vomit... no names but if your an e liquid vendor take that product knowledge into consideration and make it weeks or months In advance...... if that were the case. I personally don't wanna wait longer than it takes to open the package the liquid comes in. If you offer a described flavor and it tastes/smells like perfume or sweaty socks you have a problem! ITS NOT a finished product if...... I the consumer ......... have to let it ferment

And as for the one mans (nectar) comment ......I've had 4 different vapers or opinions agree with crappy juice. Thing is ......our taste buds come back after quitting analogs.

I don't mind waiting for hand mixed juices or waiting for them to steep.

To each their own i guess, but for the reasons you listed you come on a bit strong don't you think?
It's not like the ripped you off or anything. Ooh, you waited a week, and didn't like the flavors you picked.

I wonder if you would elaborate as to if you have ever tried a tobacco flavor before?
The flavors you listed you liked (Orange and Rum) sound good to me too.

But IMO, 9 out of 10 tobacco flavors taste like old sweaty socks lost in the hamper for a month.
I have never ordered from Viking Vapor, but I wouldn't let this post stop me.
I hope others don't as well.

Yeah, I think this is a premature post from an apparently inexperienced vaper. I'v bought a bunch of flavors from VV. Yes there were a couple thta weren't for me, but the majority were good and the price, service and shipping was excellent. If you think there's an issue with a flavor, you should always make an effort to work with the vendor before posting like this. Most vendors will try to help you out.

Defending the original post and mine. Either way opinions, are just that....... his and mine. Guys giving a good heads up is to be respected, here with all the fanboys getting all over you if you talk bad about a vendor ! Saying he's whinny is out of line!

I'm thinking you either can't read (or write) obvious from your response. I'VE NEVER TRIED ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED VENDORS.. ANY .......in short, because I can't stand ppl like you (referring to your "ohh..." blah blah ...
IM TALKING ABOUT GENERALITIES AND EXCUSES FOR BAD JUICE ........

AND YA IM LOOKING $120 IN BAD JUICE ........SO WRITE ME A CHECK if you wanna get involved with my issues. Because I personally feel RIPPED OFF from others (if that's even what you were eluding to)....and you might wanna proof read your non sense reply before you post something ignorant about an honest opinion.

I just tried VV's Cotton Candy for the first time this week and it's pretty good. Good enough that I will try some of their other flavors now. I'm sorry you didn't like the juices you picked but honey, I've got a box full of those! You just have to keep trying until you find your personal favorites, it's all very subjective and you can't blame the vendor if your taste buds don't agree with quite a few other people's, you know?

I just laughed out loud! Proof read? I don't "wanna" waste my time.
You should have spent your 120 dollars on a dictionary or some elementary English classes.
