I'm still new so I don't have my juice shipment schedule down yet so I haven't even gotten a chance to stockpile and try steeping. I gotta say though, I love 'em outta the bottle already.

I don't even want to think about the FDA trying to take away my juices. *blocks out of mind*

My boyfriend was saying he wanted to order juices from Volcano (He claimed he liked them better) I'm like you are crazy! I guess the flavors may have been a little more powerful because when we were using volcano juices we were also using 510s with drip tips and dripping directly onto the atty every 2 puffs so I'd imagine the flavor would be a little less filtered. But yuck. When he mentioned he wanted to buy juices from them I cringed. No thanks. I like my pure flavored juices that come in glass dropper bottles. Obvious quality product is obvious. :p

I am with you!!

We have a local shop that blends on site. They use good products so I am not concerned about that but the inconsistency is unreal! He uses "names" but sells "knock off's" at quite the mark up found elsewhere on the web. I found VV while investigating PG & possible issues. Took me awhile to find the juices that i like & I am still exploring flavors. Gave my local shop a shot (loyalty) on 100% VG and it was so thick it was unvapable! When I asked him to thin it he said "we don't cut our juices & the only way to thin is with PG." He was nasty & I was done! When I get poor service ANYWHERE you never see me or my money again. I'm stubborn that way after years of sales, C.S., H.R. etc. Inexcusable.

When I first tried VV I found the flavors light but after stockpiling a bit & learning how they develop & bloom....YUM!! We had an order shortage twice & had to go to the local guy for little 5ml bottles to get us by. OMG it was hell!! How did ever that before? Nasty, nasty, nasty! My hubby is even more NO WHERE ELSE will get juice then I.

VV is clean, fresh, real flavors & on top of that Organic AND packed in glass! I'll pay five bucks more. Their customer service is TOP NOTCH & Team VV should continue to grow, add more products & have amazing success with that business model!

I've heard the steeping with VV was the way to go. I really have had no complaints about vaping as soon as it arrives but I can see myself getting pickier as the time goes by so I'm sure I'll eventually understand what you mean about steeping it.

I when I look on other sites (I just had to purchase 3 replacement heads from another vendor because Annette is out) and I just checked their liquid section and I saw the flavors came in those plastic dropper bottles. It really puts me off. I don't even know if it makes a difference but I don't care to find out. Not only does VV customize any juice you need and have complete consistency as far as all of the juice I've ordered goes, she also packages them in dark glass bottles. It's very professional. My boyfriend doesn't understand yet. I told him to go ahead and try and buy from another site. I wouldn't be surprised if it clogged up the carto.

I realize her prices are slightly more than those cheap every flavors that taste like...I can't even describe it..just thick VG. But it's quality and I know I'm going to get a flavor not just a generic ecig juice that has some fancy name on it.

I've even asked them to customize kit orders and they had absolutely no problem doing it. I am happy to pay a fair price for a premium product to a company I want to grow. I want her to keep creating more of those awesome flavors she creates :D!

What I like about the glass bottles is no worries about the plastic chemicals leaching into your juice. Water bottles, baby bottles, plastic food storage containers etc are moving towards BPA (?) Free plastics. Do you think that's the case with cases & cases of imported little dropper bottles? I think not. I don't want the worry. Weird how hyper conscience ex smokers get...killed myself with stinkie for 36+ years.

OMG
my mom sent me a bunch of extra juices and I got a few virgin vapors (yay!) mostly johnson creek though (and ew I'm not impressed lol)

anyway she just shipped a bunch of glass bottles in an envelope, no wrapping materials at all!! 0.o
there was ejuice leaking from somewhere but I couldn't figure out which bottle.
Thankfully none of the glass broke! I can't believe it lol

I don't like plastic bottles. give me glass and with a built in dropper any day!
Although I have seen plastic bottles with syringe tips built in. those are pretty neat.

I'm waiting on 2 shipments, they were scheduled to be here today but I just checked this morning hoping to see "out for delivery" but it changed to the 25th!!!! What am I going to do! I am vaping my last full mini nova tank full of drunken pirate. I hate to deviate from VV it's my juice but I think I'm going to have to head to a shop a grab some generic spare for a day or two.

These are going to be a few unpleasant next days :(.

drunken pirate... still need to try.
is it very rum tasting?

Druken Pirate is one of my favorites. I've started to stockpile now but at the time I would use my DP as soon as I received it from the mail. It does have a strong flavor. So I would say yes it does have a strong rum flavor. It's very complex but not too much that it's gross at all. It's like the opposite. It's so complex in flavor that it just mashes together into this really tasty flavor. I've noticed that I end up liking flavors that I wouldn't like as actual foods or drinks. Like basic blueberry doesn't work for me. Her more oddball flavors tend to be the most fun for me. I'm starting to find out that I like mixing her basic flavors (like the basic fruit flavors) with like chocolate, or eggnog to make a chocolaty or creamy flavor.

I'd definitely say try the Drunken Pirate out. It's very good. My boyfriend and I have very different tastes in flavors and we both agreed Drunken Pirate is an awesome flavor. Whatever flavor it's supposed to be lol :p.

I kind of like when I don't know what a flavor is supposed to be like because I have high expectations. Drunken Pirate is a fun one because you can't really have any expectations for it so when you taste it you're not expecting a specific flavor so you're just like "Oh wow this is a good taste".

Now that you guys are tasting how awesome the Strawberry Granita & Pillow Dreams are together.... you also gotta try the unusual Original Sin (apple) & Pillow Dreams! It has become one of my everyday vapes now and .... nope... still can't describe the taste. It's just surprisingly tasty and good with a little more and a little less PD just like the Strawberry is!!

Kitty..... ummm.... finally! I've been telling you to try it and use the PD as your vanilla since.... oh... maybe... October?! I hope you love it too and aren't too hooked on your French Vanilla Kiss. It gets so much better the longer it blooms too... just tasty.... obviously... it's the flavor I order the most! In comparison, it doesn't have that buttery taste but a great smooth sweet vanilla flavor. Yum! Oh, toasted marshmallow might be more what it tastes like after blooming for a few mths but it's also great a day or two outta the mail.

Loup... you'll need the bigger bottle in PD because you'll use it more to mix with your berries, apple, coffees and other flavors, but once they become your all day vapes you'll need the bigger bottles! I can't wait to see if you like the granita or shortcake better as your Strawberry Dreams. I hope you have apple on hand so you can try that too!

We need a "Dreams" line or I was thinking maybe we could order flavors as "Dreams Style" suggesting we want some Pillow Dreams added!

The Strawberry Granita is more like a fresh ripe berry with some tartness and some sweetness to it. The Shortcake is the same berry flavor plus some possibly added Pillow Dreams or one of the Vanilla's and something else I can't place to give it the "shortcake" taste. They're both great, but you should do the comparison to see which flavor you like the best! I decided to stick with the Granita so I could add as much or as little Pillow Dreams as I am in the mood for! Soooo good!

If you like Apple... you also should try the Original Sin and mix it with your Pillow Dreams for another great combination I literally can't describe other than SO good it's now become another of my daily favs!! I have a suspicion if you like the Strawberry with PD you'll also like the Apple with PD! The Apple and Strawberry Granita are pretty refreshing and tasty mixed together too!
