This is a big thank you for everyone on the V4L sub forums who helped me make the right decision purchasing the Vapor King. I originally bought the green smoke e cig without doing a whole lot of research first. While that was being shipped to me, I continued researching all the information about E cigs as I could, and I came across this forum/ sub forum and soon realized I made the wrong choice. Anyways, my UU Vapor king kit came yesterday and I am in love with it. Some of the flavors weren't as good as I thought they were going to be. (my expectations were huge) But I found a couple flavors that I really enjoy. Cola being my personal favorite so far, and grape coming in a close second. I was most excited to try orange juice because I am a big orange juice drinker. But to me it did not taste anything like orange juice, let alone orange. Also I am looking forward to my next order to try Kamel, Vanilla, and butterscotch. (Can anyone tell me your thoughts on these flavors?) Last thing, does anyone know when the cartomizers, and nobacco juices will be restocked, because I noticed a lot of the 18mg products are out. But I have 22 more cartomizers so I won't be order for at least 2 weeks. Again thank you guys so much, and thank you V4L :)

Welcome to the family.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your VK.

Don't be discouraged by the taste of some of the carts. After a few days of no cigarettes the flavors will taste different. They did for me, anyway. After I first got my kit, there were very few flavors I could stand. But it's been 2 weeks for me without a cigarette and I'm going back through those that I didn't like and find that they don't taste as bad as I thought they did. Some have even become favorites.

My personal favorites (at the moment) are Butterscotch, cinnamon roll, coffee, and espresso.

You could give the sampler packs a try. More variety and less waste if you find you don't like a particular cart.

Enjoy

butterscotch is pretty good, coffee is decent. The smilin special is minty and sorta chocolaty. Cogniac is nice. I'm persnickety so a lot of the flavors I got were allright, and have definatly improved in the month since I quit smoking- but I've found that along with buying prefilled- I like the blank carts. Filling and mixing my own flavors is wonderful :)

Yeah thats what I think I'm going to do. Vanilla cola sounds awesome.

Hi Random!

I think you'll find as you go along that flavor reviews (though honest of the individual and appreciated) aren't really going to do you a whole bunch of good when trying to choose a flavor for yourself. Everyone's tastes are so different that you may purchase based on someone's review and HATE a flavor or pass up something that you may have loved because someone gave it a bad review...

I will tell you this:
Kamel...buy the tobacco sampler...then you'll get 4 other flavors to try.

Buuterscotch...People either LOVE IT! Or think it tastes like sour milk and HATE it...Buy the Candy Shop sampler and you'll get 4 other flavors with it.

Vanilla: I've NEVER heard anyone say anything bad about Vanilla, but I personally have never vaped it alone...I use it as a mixer for other juices...I would say you can't go wrong with vanilla though some people have trouble tasting the creamier type of flavors...

If you are torn, you can order blank carts and the 5ml btls of juice. Using this method (a box of blanks and 5 small bottles) you can try 5 individual flavors for $24 (+shipping of course).

Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice. But instead of buying blank carts I can just wash and reuse the ones I already have right?

I'm another new happy customer!

The Cola is also one of my favorites too. The Vanilla Ice Cream is awesome. The Cinnamon Roll was a little faint for my tastes. Might have been the fact that I was vaping the Vanilla Ice cream before the Cinnamon Roll carts. I enjoyed the RY4 Carts, more of a complex taste. I've got some Peanut Butter Cup carts that I haven't tried yet.

Can't wait until they get some e-juice restocked in the larger sizes. Now that I know some of the juices that I like, I've got a bunch of carts to refill.

Remember, your taste buds, are screwed up now, as well as carts tasting different, after vaping others. Try the OJ 1st thing in morning, and you will taste it completely different. JMHO:p

Took me over 8 months to get my buds back8-o

Enjoy, and Thank You

Welcome aboard! A lot of folks love the Butterscotch - I'm still on the fence, seemed almost too buttery to me at first blush, but I set it aside to try again later. The Vanilla is very good, tastes almost like marshmallow creme (I tasted marshmallow creme and a Vanilla carto back-to-back, so I'm pretty confident in this comparison). My current favorite is Smilin' Special Menthol, which surprised me, as I was never a menthol smoker. But it works well as an all-day vape for me, very satisfying and refreshing. Finding your go-to flavors is a challenge in the beginning, but a good adventure.

I like Cola and Grape too, my fave fruit flavor is Blueberry. Hubby and I both agree on this, and we do seem to have different tastes for the tobacco flavors. We both like Banana very much too. I agree with you on the Orange, just didn't satisfy me either.

Bought some Root Beer juice, and it seems similar to Cola, a little sweeter perhaps. Also bought some Kiwi juice which is pretty good.

The Butterscotch tasted just like butter to me, not quite what I was after.

Thank goodness I've had some freebee flavors thrown in my orders. The variety packs are a good choice in the beginning when you are figuring out what you like. The cocktail sampler was a nice mix, liked Margarita the best.
