Reading through this thread convinced me to give ITC a try. I just placed an order for 30ml of CinnaGram Custard & Nilla Gorilla. I figure for less than what I pay for my regular 30ml bottle of juice getting 2 bottles is a bargain and worth a shot.

I've tried Vape Wild a couple of times and couldn't find one flavor I liked out of a bunch of different flavors I bought. I tried MBV a few times when I first started vaping and found a few flavors that were ok, but the consistency of the juice was terrible. I never knew from one order to the next if it was going to taste the same so I gave up on them. None of the other bargain juice I've bought I've cared for, but I'm hoping ITC will change that. It would be nice not to spend a small fortune on juice every month.

I never tried Vape Wild but a friend of mine tried their sample pack. He's not very picky, but he didn't like the flavors that much. I started with MBV as well and was a big fan of their Banana Nut Bread. I ordered it 3 times, but the third time it tasted like crap. The cinnamon roll was really good the first time I tried it. I got it with a flavor shot the second time and all I could taste was cinnamon with no bun.

I had repeatedly read about MBV's issues with consistency in their juices. I eventually found out what they were talking about.

So far I've found ITC's flavors to be fairly consistent. I can't afford to mess around with MBV anymore since I tend to order really big bottles and don't want them to go to waste like that. Also it gives me a headache trying to figure out the right number of flavor shots to put with each juice. Some needed them, some were ruined with them. ITC's flavors are all fine without any flavor boosts, and for the most part I typically discourage people from getting them.

Posted a little bit about my exerpience with ITCVapes juices on their FB lounge page but figured id comment on here as well. Im super happy with how quickly ITCVapes got the juice made up and shipped out. No joke I ordered on a sunday and monday the week after the juice was to me all the way out in APO AE Germany. Thats impressive, so big thumbs up to ITCVapes for that.

I had ordered eight 120ml bottles of Max vg juices each with an extra flavor shot. They got here on a monday and I breathed each of them 2 hours as directed in the directions on the website for steeping the juices, then put them in a closet to steep and I come around to shake them a few times a day. That friday I went to testing with a CLT v3. At max vg the juices are super smooth, maybe even too smooth for me. The flavors are all tasty, some I def love more than others but overall all are pretty good, I did expect more intensity overall with the extra flavor shot. My biggest issue is that the flavor is almost non-existent with tanks, with nasal exhales I get the smell of the flavors, but as far as tasting it on the tongue its as I said nearly non-existent, maybe this is due to my choice of max vg and there just isnt enough pg to hold the flavor through the vapor with these tanks. As far as tanks go ive got a Goblin v1.2, Silverplay, Billow, and Delta II. I havent tried these juices in all the tanks just the Goblin and the silverplay. I dont know if I should expect the flavors to become stronger with more steeping. I am considering making another order with these juices in 70/30 ratio to see if the flavor is more intense with more pg. I dont have any issue with the juices wicking, the thickness isnt really all bad compared to the 80/20 juices I have from Dr Crimmys.

I've only tried max VG once in my kayfun and I hated it. Nice vapor but the wicking was terrible and I could barely get any flavor or throat hit out of it (though I did drop down to 6mg from 12 temporarily).

Others have reported good results with max vg in regular clearo tanks (Nautilus) though. Just give it some more time, make sure the wicking is right, and maybe pump up the voltage a bit.

Right behind you...
Hey folks, if you like ITC, might want to take a minute and go vote for them to get bumped up a bit in the review queue over at Phil Busardo's Taste Your Juice site.

Taste Your Juice | REVIEW QUEUE VOTING

There's about a gazillion and a half juice companies in that list, and last time I checked, ITC only had 10 votes out of 30k voters.

I am just wondering if ITC is planning on releasing a Peanut Butter/Marshmallow/Custard at anytime in the near future?

What you guys think? Would that not make sense?

I am asking this as I have served several threats and sites, and Peanut Butter Custard with Something creamy and sweet is a fan favorite.

I am myself have a PB/Custard in my rotation... the thing is that I have to go to a different vendor to obtain it... which makes me unhappy as I would like to get all my juice from ITC.

I totally agree!!! I have been wanting a pb/marshmallow type. Sorta like a fluffernutter without bread and custardly. Hopefully they bring out one soon.

Thanks Sarah. Been really busy for the last month or so. Dunno if I'll be able to do my first dual coil build for a little bit.

My friend hasn't gotten his subtank yet because I haven't decided if I want to piggyback for free shipping on his order yet. lol. I'll probably order tomorrow and just tack on a bottle of Lemon Bar just so I can say that I've tried it.

IMO, I get more flavor from my Mutation X in single coil mode. Especially running a parallel/twisted coil. Cloud density is surprisingly thick too. I'm not much into clouds, being a flavor chaser, but it's quite impressive in single coil mode on both aspects.

Does the flavor boost make a big difference in flavor strength?
I ordered Custard #3 before and it was really good but a little light in flavor. I just ordered a 120ml (biggest size i ever ordered) and im worrying it will have too much flavoring.
Anyone try both boosted and regular versions of ITC? Is the difference very noticeable?
I ordered a small taster of Custard v3 which was pretty flavorful after steeping. I also just got a flavor boosted 240ml which has not steeped yet. I did taste it, doesn't seem too much stronger than the original non-boosted. I think I'm going to stick with non-boosted from now on. NOTE: I also order max VG and I believe they add a little extra flavor to max VG as well...

Well, I'd like something peach-y from them as well, but haven't seen it yet.

What's your build on the single coil? I'm not a sub-ohmer. My istick only goes down to 0.4 I think, but I usually build in the 1.7 to 1.9 range with 28 gauge 11 wrap on 3/32 screwdriver.

The dripper is for experimental purposes as well when I get more time. I would like to try a dual eventually. It would also allow me to get through that max VG 6mg Mach 10 that's been buried in my drawer.

It depends on what I am putting it on but I never really used a single coil. .24-.60 is my usual range. But I would suggest at least trying something <0.9 just to try. I like the flavor more on dual. The funny thing is different ohms brings out different flavor parts. It's not all about the vapor. At least for me.

Been away from here for a while, and am about to place a large order again.

How's the Wintermint? My regular rotation is Cinnegram, Apple Buns, SLV2, and B&BC but I've never tried a mint vape.

Thanks!

I had high hopes, but this is not one of their better ones IMO. It smells like vicks vapor rub and gives me a headache. I'm a "once in a while" type menthol person and I think extreme ice from MBV is a much better menthol.

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Kanger Subtank Mini. Passed on the Eleaf Lemo because of the loose airflow adjustment ring, sharp metal ends, and the leaking rumors I had heard of. ITC had the best price available for the tank at $34.99. They also have a very competitive price for the 5 pack of coils. Since I placed this order with hardware only, I hope they can ship it tomorrow and I can get it on Wednesday.

Long story short, I accidently ordered a clone of the Mutation V3. My fault for not reading closely. The authentic one was only $1 more from another seller too. I probably would have kept it, but it was missing the Philips head screws, so I couldn't even use it. I'm returning it to the seller and rebuying the authentic one after I get my ebay bucks back. It'll be a week or two until I get my first dripper.

I placed a second order for a 120ml Cinnagram Custard (unboosted this time), 120ml Winter Breeze (unboosted this time), and a 30ml trial of Lemon Bar. I figured I should stop thinking about the lemon bar and just buy it. Last month when I asked for people's top 5 flavors, seeing Lemon Bar twice as #1s, I figured it was worth a shot.

I won't be buying anymore juice for a while unless they add that peanut butter custard that they've been working on for so long. I hope they add new flavors soon.

The lemon bar was one of my favorites but vape it quick. At 4 weeks on the lemon completely disappears and it falls flat. So sad because I loved it so much I used it sparingly and ended up with something a bit lack luster. Imo lemon bars from the clean vape and pinup tart from darth vapor are better lemon custard bars. Both have a more lemony flavor but still have that nice crust flavor too.

We were discussing this subject in another thread, and I definitely agree that different mod settings (watts/volts) and/or coil specs (gauge/ohms/spaced/micro/etc.) bring out different aspects of a juice. It's really not surprising when you consider the different temps at which all the different constituents vaporize, along with different PG and VG ratios, as well as other things like whether the juice has multiple flavorings- that may have different 'carriers'- and even if the juice has distilled water or alcohol added.

Easy to see why some juice makers recommend trying their juices at different settings. Might be a good practice to start relatively low and increase watts/volts a little at a time to see what that brings out in the juice. Same thing with coil resistance, although this would be more involved.
