Pure Vapes Ordering Thread

[ukeman]

wow ... i am so blown away by my order! it is the best order i've ever had... a whole slew of juices including samplers, and never had so many great great juices in the same order. a first! which is where PureVapes is now; firmly at the top of my list of vendors.

I got more Epic, Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Passion fruit, Lemon Creme Puff, and Peach Pipe in 15ml. All without any additions except 10% more VG... practically exactly the way Nikhil intended it, and I was SPOT ON!!!

what a Father's Day gift ... to myself .... thanks Nikhil!

-------------------------
I did a review on another thread, but will follow up here too:

the Samples: Bourbon Cigar... PV4... Pina Colada... Gummi Frog... WOW

The wow is for PV4... i will have to get some right away... mellow and rich, slightly sweet... this is going to be my tobacco vape; after a year of staying away from tobacco's ... it's not like those at all.

Pina Colada another wow! first good pineapple imo, and first great coconut... masterful blend! not overpowering like most others, but rich and smooth. a winner.

Gummi; fun, slightly tangy... and gummyish. +1

Bourbon Cigar... like the Peach Pipe, a "different vape" for when you are sick of desserts... slightly sweet bourbon and mildish cigar.

The main flavor of this order is Peach Pipe... the earlier sample i had really convinced me.
It is imo, slightly stronger than the sample... is this a problem?
In fairness to Nikhil, no; because it is exactly like the name; peach and pipe... very very good, and comes through like one who is looking for a great fruit/pipe mix would expect.

I think i'm gonna dilute it with a little vg/pg...

For now, I know that the PV4 is going to be on my next order, with a sample of PV3, and also going to order Pina Colada too...
I'm going to have to move a lot of "also rans" from my juice closet as Pure Vapes has become 80% my top shelf... and that's only because he doesn't make a couple other flavors that i vape every day.

He is definitely a juice master! I made the mistake of ordering the PV4 and PV3 with extra flavor....I am gonna have to dilute them down a bit, but yea they will be VERY good once I do that....should have left the masters work alone and left it the way he intended it to be.

 

[ukeman]

if you are a TH heavy vaper, then xtra may be good ... i find it gives more throat hit (TH)... but i don't like TH... and after a month or two of trying PV flavors, it's the way he sets it up, in the samples, that are the best imo... (and there is a TH option too if you want that).

 

[keelalagirl55]

I don't like much TH....too much and it makes me cough....I love heavy vapor though. I just think adding too much tobacco flavoring makes the taste too harsh and I didn't think about that when I ordered extra flavor on those 2....I think in my head I was thinking of the other flavors in there being extra. Once I dilute they will be perfect I think. Just need to tone down the tobacco aspect of them. But you are right....he masters the flavors just the way they are. I think the only ones I will continue to do extra flavor in are Epic, butterscotch cookie, and caramel cookie (I like all caramel and butterscotch flavors to be heavy though). Everything else, I think will be perfect just the way they are.

 

[ukeman]

yeah; i just added 3 ml of a vg/pg mix to about 10 ml ea. of Cookie Dough Ice Cream and Mango Dreams. Both had extra flavor, which increased the TH too much. Now they're just abut perfect. The flavor is coming through nicely and no more whammo to the throat and lungs.
but not as good as ordered right in the first place.

I guess that I'm going to have to broaden my horizon a bit and try some flavors other than Butterscotch Cookie & Epic Cookie. It is not that I don't like new things to try, just that once you find something good, it kind of takes away the desire to try other things. Thanks for the excellent post & reviews. Much appreciated.

 

[ukeman]

Epic is unbelievably consistently great.
For new flavors best thing to do imo, is get the samples first... then you'r not stuck if you don't like it.
I have always gotten one or two samples in my orders.
I usually get 15ml so if i need to change up or reorder, i'm enjoying my compulsive shopping disorder LOL, every week or so.

Nikhil has a wide range of flavors and I'm sure that if the flavor sounds close to what you like, he's going to do a fantastic job on that juice.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have a couple new things coming up soon including the contest, which will be this Friday and/or Saturday. The other new item is the sample pack, perfect for new customers or anyone who wants to broaden their horizons with my expanding line of flavors. These packs will be prepacked sets of samples that are heavily discounted so you can test a variety of flavors without having to pay more than it would cost you to get a couple 15ml bottles.

I will also be closing my store for about a week next month, from the 12th to the 20th. During that time I'm going to be driving my brother to a camp at Juilliard in New York, and also visiting my website developer, our very own Sallana of ECF. She'll be redesigning the website to some extent while it's down as well. I'll post a reminder in a couple weeks, but don't forget to order before I close if you're getting low on liquid!

Hi Nikhil. thanks for the heads up...

can you, or someone explain the taste of PV3 and PV4? I am not really familiar with tobaccos and the variety of tob.flavor varieties.

One suggestion for you: on the bottles, I would appreciate seeing larger print for the name of the juice... at my age, even with reading glasses, it's hard to determine what i'm glancing at... I suggest Making both the Pure Vapes, larger, to keep it in balance with the flavor name, but make the flavor name MUCH bigger...?

 

[loxmythe]

Hi Nik - Julliard wow that's great he must be talented.

 

[Tuck]

Ok I need to look see if I need to order again before you go.

 

[ukeman]

bumping this schedule to the front; so this friday or sat. we can get sample paks, and July 12th through 20th closed.

I wanted to post that I am currently upgrading my cabling to fiber optics, so my internet connection is going to be down for a while and some recently placed orders may be slightly delayed (24 hour delay max).

Hi Nikhil. thanks for the heads up...

PV3 and PV4 are not really like the RY3 and RY4 you'll find elsewhere. I personally don't like heavy or harsh tobacco flavors, and when I created these they were intended for people like me. There are 10+ ingredients in each one, and some of them overlap, but both flavors have many non-tobacco notes that aren't just the standard caramel and vanilla. The idea behind it is a lot like the Epic Cookie Fantasy, except it would be Epic Tobacco Fantasy instead.

I can probably make the flavor names a bit bigger, I figured people just looked at the picture so wasn't worried about it before. There are a couple of problems though, the first being that my printer is not very good and has trouble printing near the edges, so I have to leave enough white space around the actual text and picture. I also need enough space to write modifications on labels, so there isn't much wiggle room.

Hi Nik - Julliard wow that's great he must be talented.

Yeah, here's a video of one of his performances that was broadcast on the radio (you can skip to 0:50).

 

[ukeman]

congrats on the musician in the family! I'm a jazz enthusiast myself. He's great.
talent must run in your family....

great to hear you don't like harsh tobacco...
i figure i can't go wrong with just about everything i've tried being great!

My issue is that i have so many bottles of juices, i have to perm-mark pen the initials in large letters.

 

[foe1one]

I made an order on Sunday, and as of now (Wednesday) it's status is still "processing" on the website, anyone else having delays on orders?

 

[banjo]

What a wonderful talent your brother has................... Thanks for the video!

 

[ukeman]

read post #1013... top of post.
My orders have always taken a little more time than some of the bigger vendors... seems like Nikhil is pretty much a one man show...
But it's worth the wait imo.

[foe1one]

Yeah I read that, wasn't sure if it would affect mine since that was posted yesterday and my order was in on monday. Bad timing on my part, was thrilled to find a somewhat local source, and one that offered menthol on any flavor. USPS sorts through Louisville before coming to my town so I was thinking I was going to be getting the liquid super quick with no middle men, darn the luck.

 

[ukeman]

that could be maddening foe, chances are you will get it quicker than most.

I live in Hawaii, so i got to be ahead of the game... heheh i get carried away.

today is Wed... i am not liking waiting til fri or sat for the new sampler pak... although i should.

how about in the meantime, we list what we got in Pure Vapes flavors?

1. Epic Cookie
2. Danish w/ Peanut Butter (eeek; it's actually very good!)
3. Cookie Dough Ice Cream
4. Passion Fruit
5. Mango Dreams
6. Butterscotch Cookie
7. Peach Pipe
8. Chai
9. Lemon Creme Puff

samples: Bourbon Cigar, PB&J, PV4, Pina Colada, Gummi Frog

Everything I have in stock except the Butterscotch Cookie, (and the Danish P/B) was chosen after a sample.
Of the samples, I will order the Pina and the PV4... the Gummi is great too.

The PV4 has a taste similar to what people have had a cultish following after ( a while ago)... Wyatt Earp, but better imo.

I've only been vaping for little over a month, so I've been experimenting alot with vendors and flavors. Got a kit from puresmoker and some samples, from there I've gotten stuff from vaporrenu, DIY flavorshack, and velvet vapors. I've started to realize what I'm missing is the menthol tingle, so I ordered some Chocolate Malt, and Peppermint 18mg with "Icy" cold vapor. Going to be my default additives to other juices if too cold on their own, or probably daily vapes if just right.
