I decided to go on a spending spree a few weeks ago and, after much research, decided on these 3 vendors to try out. So far, all the juices I have received from these vendors are good to excellent. I have not vaped a single bad juice yet.
Pure Vapes
Cookie Dough Ice Cream
This is a tasty juice. You can taste the subtle cookie dough (not cookie) with a hint of vanilla that creates the taste of cookie dough ice cream. I bought several cookie-related juices and I was pleasantly surprised that I could taste it in dough form rather than baked. I got the recommended pg/vg blend with extra shot of flavor and warm throat hit. I believe that the extra shot of flavor was not necessary and a bit strong. The throat hit, while at a good temperature, *stung* a bit, perhaps due to the extra flavor.
Rating - 8.0/10 (perhaps higher without the extra shot of flavor)
Butterscotch Cookie
This tasted just like you would imagine. I also got this with the extra shot of flavor, and I'm not sure why. The flavor was strong but was very tasty. I also got the recommended mixture and warm throat hit. I don't believe there is a need for the hot throat hit, as the warm hit was just right for me.

Vapalicious
AG's Dream
This was the only sweet juice I got but I am glad that I did. I am not sure if I could taste the shortbread part (there was something but not easily recognizable), but I could definitely taste the raspberry. It was delicious and smooth. A great dessert vape. I got 70/30 vg/pg.
Rating - 9/10
Gooey Butter Cake
I cannot say enough about this juice. It was absolutely delicious. Very gooey feeling/taste vaping this, it was as if I had just taken a bite of the real thing every hit. Lots of butter flavor. Easily an all-day vape. Perhaps just a *tad* too sweet but I don't mind, the flavor is powerful, even in a tank/carto setup.
Rating - 10/10
Kick Bass Vapor
Candy Bar
I received this with an extra shot of flavor. Again, the extra shot is necessary, because with it, it is very strong. However, this did taste just like a candy bar, with just the right mixture of flavor. I was worried the chocolate would be over-powering, because I am not a big fan of chocolate flavors. However, I could taste each individual part of a candy bar, without any dominant flavors.
Rating - 8/10
Troll Bridge Cookie
Absolutely delicious. Taste just like the real thing. I did get this 1 also with an extra shot of flavor and was glad it worked out. I would recommend it with the extra shot. The chocolate was not over-powering in this juice either (kudos to KBV for finding right mix). I could definitely taste a BAKED cookie. Another all-day vape for me.
Rating - 10/10
Gooey BETTER Cake
Not as sweet as Vapealicious' Gooey BUTTER Cake, and tons of extra butter flavor. I believe it would be even better, had I not gotten the extra shot of flavor. I will buy it again without it and then test it with Vapealicious' juice. Both are unique and have their strong points.
Rating - 9.5/10 (perhaps a 10 without the extra shot of flavor)
Waffles
Another delicious creation from KBV. Extra shot again (I know, I know...) and butter. The syrup tasted a bit chemical/artificial and was a bit strong. Maybe it's more toned down without the extra shot. Can definitely taste the waffle and the butter. The syrup but it was NOT over-powering, for which I am grateful, it was just a bit of a weird taste. Maybe I haven't let it steep long enough.
Rating - 8.5/10
As you can see, there was a pattern with getting the extra shot of flavor. I am disappointed in myself for not trying it without it. I imagine these juices would taste even better without it, as I now realize that extra flavor is not my thing. However, all of the juices were good, and I did find a few all-day vapes. I will definitely order from them again. Below I'll tell you how long I let them all steep for.
Steep Time
PV
Cookie Dough - 1.5 weeks
Butterscotch Cookie - 1.5 weeks
Vapealicious
GBC - None, but the taste definitely improved over a period of a couple weeks.
AG's - None
KBV
Waffles - Tasted bad right out of the box, waited a little over a week and it was great. I think it might need a little more time to steep though.
Troll Cookie - 1 week. Was *off* before that. Phenomenal after a week.
Candy Bar - 1 week. Like all of my KBV juices, I HAD to steep these. At first I thought I had made a mistake buying them, but I just had to wait a while for them to steep.
GBC - 1 week.
The PV and KBV juices all need a minimum of 1 week to steep but I would probably recommend 2+ weeks if you have the patience. It was hard for me, but after tasting them right out of the box I knew I had to wait to see what all the fuss was about haha.
