I was going to do these one at a time, but I think an overall impression will suffice. Bottom line: I don't like them. They taste bad. We all know that tastes are subjective and ya, ya, ya, but there are so many better choices, even in the premixed category. GV already carries a premixed product that is VASTLY superior to these juices. Personally, I just don't see the point in adding one to the lineup that is meh at best and bleh at worst. Just my opinion, YMMV and all the other disclaimers apply.

i'm going to have to agree .. taste is subjective but in my opinion the taste is off across the board. maybe they need to steep more ..any info on when these were mixed? if their expiration date is for a year.. it was a little over a month ago..

but as is i don't much care for them. and i usually vape 18mg..so i know thats not the reason.

First off, I agree with the previous reviews…not ready for prime time.

Likes:
1) I love the spring loaded cord holder.
2) I also like the vertical mount.
3) Fit and finish is good. A nice looking charger.
4) Holds battery securely.

Dislike:
1) With a Twist, it constantly cycles from “Chagig Battit” to “Chagig Complete”. I haven’t tried with my spinner yet, I’ll edit when I charge it later.
2) Charging a 650mah Kgo battery worked fine, but as others pointed out..when it gets close to fully charged it oscillates a few times between “Chagig Battit” and “Chagig Complete” before finally stopping with a solid green led.
3) Volume too loud so it distorts the small speaker. I opened it up to see if there was a volume adjust, but its all fixed components, so there is no volume adjustment capability without soldering a different resistor in the circuit.
4) Cord is very thin. I think it will break after repeated use.

Overall a good novelty item and with improvement could be a nice little charger.

I'm on tapatalk, so my apologies, if you used a header. But which flavors did you try?

And yep, tastes are highly subjective, while I adore the liqua coffee (it is my preferred coffee of any brand), I like this vision faux menthol mint flavor much better than the liqua menthol. :)

I may have to snag some of this mint-thol you like so much. :)

I got the Vision Chocolate in the mail today.
It was only 28 degrees outside, I let it sit for 4 hours to get to room temp before trying it out.

Here’s my first impressions.
Equipment: T3 at 2.7 ohms on a Spinner set at various voltages but mostly around 4v

1) I like the concept of the bottle, but the hole is too small for filling tanks. It may be about right for dripping, but I had to insert a pin to expand the hole some. I don’t like that you can’t remove the top easily to pour juice back in. Labeling is hard to see the flavor marking. Way too much stuff on the label.
2) Vapor is huge
3) Flavor is muted. There is a waxy taste, and the chocolate isn’t really chocolaty. It’s not sweet, more like an unsweetened baker’s chocolate than a milk chocolate or dark chocolate. I’m not liking the flavor, but it doesn’t make me gag. Just not my cup of tea.
4) Seeing that it went through extreme temp changes during it’s travels, I’ll test it again in a week to see if the flavor improves.

Verdict: I will not buy this again.

Got my package in a day early! Yay!

Ripped open the package and decided to try the watermelon first. Ok, pain in the .... to open the bottle. Finally got it open with the wife's help, she has nails and I don't. Filled up my T3 with the wonderful little needle tip, I think all bottles need this. My first thought was that this has an amazing smell! It reminds me of watermelon blow pops. I started at 3.3v but it had a weird bite to it? Maybe because I just filled the tank. Turned it up to 4.2v, great vapor and interesting flavor. I can definitely taste watermelon but the flavor isn't as potent as the smell. I'm going to let it steep for a bit and I will try again. First impressions though, I'm a fan of the watermelon.

Thanks for the opportunity to try this!

Vision E juice
Flavor-Watermelon

Tested with brand new pre dry burned stardust head 2.8 ohm on Vision Vamo.

This one must have a pretty aggressive scent as even I was able to smell it. However, it smells much better than it tastes. To me it tastes like those paler bites of watermelon closest to the rind (the parts I usually don't bother to eat). Vapor production is also much stingier than the menthol. And I could only go to about 8 watts before flavor started to suffer. I don't like this one as is but I may try adding extra sweetener.

Lol, I was composing mine while you were turning in yours. I see we agree on the smell and the bite if not the conclusion :)

It seems like the more I vape, the less flavor I'm getting.. I think I'm changing my conclusion

As I vape it, I'm thinking it doesn't wick as well as the menthol for some reason. If you don't mind experimenting, try putting it down for two minutes or so them coming back. Seems like I can get two our three acceptable drags before having to halt. I may need to change heads. This one is metering fine, but that doesn't mean the head is wicking well.

I was doing my first impression of the watermelon on the eRoll and flavors were good. Moved it up to the Provari and a Vision ViVi Nova with 2.8ohm head. This stuff is only decent at low voltage. I have lost all flavor now. I am not going to even finish the tank.

I had dinner and came back to it, and the flavor was great. I've taken about 5-7 drags and it almost sounds flooded... I'm disappointed.. The smell is just rude :p

cool great for the feedback, i personally am in love with the peach and fruit punch, both have become mny new all day vape, they dont scream huge flavor, just enough to not annoy me, i dont like flavors that are to prominent as they get annoying, flavor, vapor and th are all at 7 to and 9 for flavor. this is just me as i am picky with what i can vape, sometimes if a flavor is to spot on and is overly sweet etc. it annoys me, cigar didnt like it, usa mix is very useable but virginia i didnt like, state express was also very decent, choco is vapeable but not for me. so ill try to get more flavors for you guys but as of now i could vape fruit punch and peach for the next year and truly be happy, watermelon ill test tomorow
