I've tried four flavors, Aspire, Detox, Pear Chi, and Harvest. Harvest was excellent, a pumpkin/graham cracker/milk that's as described. I'm on my third bottle of Pear Chi, and it's my favorite fruit from any company I've tried to date. Aspire is good, but I prefer the brighter notes of Pear Chi. Detox was horrific (for me). "Refreshing cucumber mint, Infused with grape," that was not the least bit refreshing, but rather a cloyingly sweet grape mint. A nearly full bottle of Detox was accidentally tipped off the coffee table, and I didn't even feel bad.

I watch for the $12 flash sales, but had to order my favorite at $15. Once you order, you'll also get a permanent 15%-off code.

Just put in an order for Blue Glaze, ki custard, and strawberry milk

I'll be interested in hearing how you like the strawberry milk. Mine has a born-on date of 2/3/16, and I was not pleased with it FOOB. I've been airing it out off and on for a couple of days, and I'm hoping it will mellow. I get a bitter aftertaste, and hints of yogurt gone bad. I'm going to give it air over night, let it steep for a couple of weeks, and then revisit it.

I do have to say my response is likely how my taste is wired. While I've enjoyed some strawberry milks, I've had this same bad response to others, even though some people rave about them.

I hope your experience is better.

Received my order yesterday (love the two day turn around time). Out of the box they all smelled ok. The ki custard had an alcohol smell to it that I didn't like. I did my usual hot water bath followed by airing them out for a few hours and it improved the smells drastically (especially the ki custard). I'll probably load that one up tonight and give it a try.

I hope they work out for you. I did figure out what smell/taste I was finding objectionable, and it's probably butyric acid, which can be used in flavors to produce creamy/buttery flavors instead of diacetyl. It just doesn't agree with some people -- like some folks find that artificial sweeteners taste bitter.

So I've tried the Blue Glaze in a Subtank and Ki Custard in a Derringer:

-Blue Glaze- not tasting the doughnut so much but it has a really good blueberry flavor. The glaze is definitely there, though.

-Ki Custard- this one was suprisingly good. I don't think that it so much a kiwi custard as a kiwi cream, which I think is even better. I was worried the eggy taste of custard would have been off putting. Good, clean, kiwi flavor.

Overall, the flavors weren't spot on to the descriptions, but good anyways. Based on these two, I'll be ordering again.

Just ordered a second bottle. This time the PearChi. Havnt got my Aspire yet, mailbox was full and it got returned to sender ><

Seems like some people do different things to the juice when they get it. Im a new vaper, is there anything i should do before i try it?

I'm not saying this is the correct way, but it's my way and it has worked for me:

But the bottles in a Ziploc bag

Boil water and give it about 3-5 minutes to cool

Put the bag in the water

Wait for the juice to warm and shake every 20 minutes until the water is just warm

Open caps and let them breath for 2-3 hours


This has always given me good results with my juices.

This was one of the first big bottle budget companies I ever purchased from. They had a Super Bowl sale last year and I ordered Horchata and Dodger Blue (blue skittles). Both were excellent so I have reordered from them several times. Harvest was great (my wife's favorite). They stopped selling Dodger Blue and have multiple skittle flavors now but the few I've had were pretty harsh. The Horchata is outstanding though, smooth and flavorful.

Just put an order in Friday for Strawberry milk, Straw-wha and Rain. I'll post back in a couple weeks and let you know how I like them... still have 150ml to use up from MtBakerVapor so it will give this juice time to steep. Just FYI on the MtBakerVapor juice after a week and a half of steeping I like the cinnamon toast munch, thug juice and hawk sauce. The thug juice is strong menthol and berry though so just make sure you like menthol.
