Parkes Vaping!!

[theinlawjosie]

My first juice only purchase was from Parkes vaping - as soon as I knew this whole vaping thing was going to work for me, I went to youtube and, like a n00b, typed in something along the lines of best e-liquid vendor and stumbled upon a review of some of their liquids. I ordered a few of their 6ml bottles that night and I am so glad I did!

I know they are a forum supplier, but I really don't see them getting a lot of love on the forums. That may be a result of that whole "taste is subjective" thing, but I felt the need to bring some attention to the quality of their juices. Are there any other Parkes fans out there? I love that I can get a 6ml bottle for $3.00 and the fact that they offer "flavors of the week" at a discounted rate as well as rewards points for discounts on purchases. I do wish they had a more extensive selection of hardware but I'll gladly continue to place juice only orders from them.

(On a side note, I definitely have a sweet tooth and have been vaping their bakery/dessert type flavors. I did get some tobacco and fruit flavors with this most recent order - I guess I'll find out if they are up to par soon enough.)

I ordered Banana Pudding from Parkes Vaping during their Memorial Day sale. It was born on 5/29/13 and when it was delivered it was extremely perfumy, so I uncapped it and let it sit overnight. I let it sit capped for a few days and it still smelled the same, so I left it uncapped for another night. It's been 11 days now and it is still unvapeable and neither smells nor tastes anything like bananas, much less pudding.

I'm still holding out hope that it will eventually smell and taste like banana pudding.

Bummer! I haven't tried the banana pudding so I can't say if you're experience is unique or not. I know the banana pudding gets good reviews and was thinking about getting a bottle but I may hold off now. Hopefully quality control isn't an issue! Did you get a flavor shot or sweetener added?

I also read the rave reviews on this juice. I did get a flavor shot, but no sweetener. It smells sort of like medicine. The smell hasn't really changed much since I got it, even leaving it uncapped.

I got a 30ml bottle, so hopefully it will steep and taste good more sooner than later. I just hate having to wait soooo long to be able to enjoy a juice.

Yeah, I'm brand new with this stuff, but I've somehow amassed at least 20 juices from five different vendors... with more on the way. The biggest bottle I've had is 10ml. I've only had the Parkes in 6ml bottles and I definitely think it has shortened the steep-time. I didn't care much for the flavor that ended up being my favorite for the first couple of days. There may still be hope!
