RedHen's Virgin Vapor Flavor Reviews

[RedHen]

I have in my possession a little over 30 Virgin Vapor flavors and I aim to try the entire menu that VV offers. So I figured I'd give them individual reviews and that this would be a good place to put them.

First Flavor up...

Organic Red Hot Cinnamon 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Boge Low Resistance carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is light brown and cloudy, with little bits of brown... I'm not sure if this is the normal appearance of the juice or if it's due to the sub-zero temperatures we were having while it was in transit.

I have never tried a cinnamon flavor, mostly because I was afraid to damage my tanks.... but with a good stock-pile of cartos in my stash I figured I should give it a try. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy cinnamon, as it is known for major throat hit (which I am not a fan of). The throat hit was actually milder than I expected, out of a 1-10 I'd give it a five (at 4.2 volts). Throat hit gets exceedingly higher as you raise your voltage. Flavor-wise it is quite delicious. The inhale is very sweet like a red hot candy or fire jolly rancher, the exhale (actually I find more throat hit on the exhale, strangely) is a natural cinnamon taste, almost woody. Vapor production is outstanding. My personal sweet spot on this liquid is at 4.2 or 4.4. I think this is a flavor that would definitely be good in the morning to wake me up. Definitely an intense, flavorful vape!

ETA- I can definitely see this being an all-day vape. I'm really surprised how much I'm LOVING it. It is definitely one of my new favorite first thing in the morning vapes.

Great review, Red! I've been a cinnamon hater almost from the first moment I started vaping, so I've never even tried the VV cinnamon...you have me re-thinking that!

 

[DesertHogRider]

RedHen...have you ever had "Fire Water" ?
100 proof cinnamon schnapps made ny the same company that makes Rumpleminz.
Curious... if you have...you could comment on the cinnamon vape & compare.

Hubby & I used to drink Fire Water (with a vengence some nights LMAO). We can't get it in Arizona. I may have to try the Red Hot. I love cinnamon schnapps, hot tamale & red hots candy. Gt to figure out my carto filling issue first though :-(

 

[RedHen]

I've never tried that but it sounds like it'd knock me on the floor! It reminds me a lot of Big Red actually. It's yummy... and gone!! boo hoo!

 

[DesertHogRider]

Yum! Love Big Red gum!

Gonna have to try it next....

And YES....the Fire Water can be quite dangerous It is so gooooood! no other Cinnamon Schnapps comes close (Hot Damn, Gold Schlager etc). Hubby sang a little Pearl Jam "better man" to me more then once LMAO....

 

[RedHen]

Alright... let's do this again.

Organic Vanilla Chai Latte 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Boge Low Resistance carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a pale pale almost clear color. For no particular reason at all, clear juices make me happy.

I am not a fanatic about chai but I do enjoy it on occasion. The smell of the liquid is pretty amazing. The first few hits of this flavor were very dominantly nutmeggy. I set it down and came back a few hours later and the complexity knocked my socks off- ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, tea, sweetness, and an insane creaminess that I've never before encountered in a vape. I can smell a cinnamon flavor but I can't taste it yet. The throat hit is on the mild side, maybe a 4 out of a ten... last night I was getting a little stronger for some reason, maybe 6/10. The inhale is a sweet tea and the exhale is filled with spice and creaminess. Vapor production is good but not unusually high. My personal sweet spot on this liquid is at 4.4. This is definitely a robust flavor that I would highly recommend as a change of pace for tobacco fans. Definitely delicious and probably the most complex flavor I've tried yet but I don't know if I have room for this in my regular rotation.

Note: When ordering this flavor you must choose a custom blend- sweet or spicy. The sampler bottle doesn't specify which blend it is but I'm waiting to hear back from Kitty on that one. We're guessing spicy.

Organic Hawaiian White Guava 5mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a SmokTech tank with a 2.0 ohm carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is perfectly clear.

This is one of my favorite Virgin Vapors flavors. If you like sweet flavors and you'll probably love this regardless of whether you love guavas, hate guavas, or never had a guava. It is just plain sweeeet and fruity. It's almost bubblegum-like. The throat hit is almost non-existent at the 5mg strength, although it does give me a strange throat tickle on the inhale. I first tried it as a 12mg sampler and I honestly can't say that the throat hit was much higher. Vapor production is off the charts- floating on clouds of vapor. My personal sweet spot on this liquid is at 4.2 volts.

 

[LouP]

Nicely done, red.
I, too love the Red Hot Cinnamon. It does require vigorous shaking. My favourite "winter walk" is grabbing a hot apple cider and vaping my RHC. So sad it's all gone.

 

[RedHen]

Organic Darjeeling Sweet Tea 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Boge Standard Resistance carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice a very clear very pale amber color.

I seriously cannot put my finger on this flavor... but it is definitely yummy and quickly growing on me. In spite of the name, this is not a super sweet vape. Nowhere near the sweetness of the Guava or Plum. The aroma is heavily butterscotch (figure that one out!) and the taste is somewhat perfumey, but not in a bad way. The inhale is a mild floral flavor and the exhale is a butterscotchy with a very faint citrus (orange?). Throat hit is mild-moderate and vapor production is pretty average (not the thick plumes I get from some of the fruity flavors. My sweet spot for this juice is 4.4 volts. This is a more subtle juice, but the flavors are pretty intriguing. I think if I ordered a full bottle of this I might ask for extra flavor.

Edited to add: For some reason, I feel like if you love Bella Amaretto you will also love the heck out of this one. They taste completely different but it seems right to compare them, they have a similar sweetness and are both super aromatic.

Organic Blueberry Cheesecake 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Boge Standard Resistance carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice a very clear very pale amber color.

I hate to write bad reviews, but as the reviews for this juice on the website for this are pretty fantastic, I'm going to chalk my dislike for this juice up to a peculiarity of my tastebuds... so I recommend you try this for yourself rather than take my word on it. I first tried this juice in a new atty and I thought it was all the atty's fault... I couldn't get the metallic taste out of the atty no matter how many time I washed it. After putting this in a carto, I realize it was the juice I was dripping into the atty and not the atty itself. All I can taste in this juice (even after a cap-off steep) is pennies. It tastes like a mouthful of spare change. Other reviewers comment on it's amazing creaminess, fresh blueberry taste, and even a graham cracker crust finish, but I can't find any of those things anywhere. Tested all the way from 3.2-4.4 volts and nothing but metallic vapor. I definitely won't be re-ordering this one. Sorry, Annette!

Organic Fresh Thai Mango 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a V4L CoolCart on a Vapor Titan Battery)

Juice color- I don't remember. Pinesol.

I might as well get my only other negative review out of the way so we can move on to the good stuff. Again, I blame this on my taste buds because I know there are big fans of this juice out here. Pinesol. This juice tasted like a Christmas Tree. I couldn't get any mango whatsoever, try as I might because I LOVE mangos. If I get any mango taste at all it might be the acrid taste of mango skin. Other people have said they get a faint basil on the exhale- maybe they are slightly picking up on the Pinesol taste that I get (or just taking a hint from the photos, as it is pictured with basil), because Annette confirmed there is in fact no basil flavoring in the liquid. I wanted to love this, but couldn't find a sweet spot anywhere. Again, don't take my word for it or let this scare you off- to the best of my knowledge I'm the only one who thought this tasted like pine needles.

Keep them coming....i enioy reading these and want to branch out a little on my next regular order.

 

[RedHen]

Organic Juicy Watermelon & Organic Wild Watermelon 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a V4L CoolCart on a Vapor Titan Manual Battery)

I tried these a few weeks back so forgive me if I'm wrong- but to the best of my recollection the Juicy Watermelon is a clear liquid and the Wild Watermelon is a clear, pale brown.

I'm reviewing these together for comparison. I filled two carts, one of each flavor, and tried them side by side numerous times. It was tough to determine a winner but I think that the Wild Watermelon came out slightly ahead. For fruit flavors the watermelons had surprisingly big throat hits, maybe a six or seven out of ten with the Wild Watermelon having a slightly stronger throat hit. The Juicy Watermelon is sweet and similar (in feel and vapor production) to the Hawaiian White Guava. Huge clouds of vapor. The Wild Watermelon had a slight sour flavor, kind of like the watermelon Sour Patch Kids candy which really grew on me and won me over but produced slightly less vapor. They both have a very true natural watermelon taste. I didn't have a variable voltage batt yet, but they both tasted great at the Vapor Titan's 3.8 voltage. Because I am not a fan of throat hit, in spite of really enjoying these flavors, they didn't make my "must have" list for the fruity flavors.

Organic Forbidden Fig 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Boge Standard Resistance carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a very clear pale yellow/amber color.

I'm somewhat indifferent when it comes to figs- I don't especially like them but I don't necessarily dislike them. Likewise, I could take or leave this juice. It is not as sweet as I expected, it's actually on the dry side. The smell out of the bottle strangely reminds me of acetone.. but there is no chemical taste in the vape whatsoever. Flavorwise I would say it is more of a dry fig than a fresh fig, but lacking the sweetness of dried figs. Throat hit is minor but it's somewhat drying on the throat. My husband, who has never been a smoker and has no interest in vaping (but fully supports my habit!) said that this flavor irritated his lungs and made them feel tight when I vaped it while he was in the room. Vapor production is quite good. My personal sweet spot was at 4.0 volts... any higher and the dryness appeared more and the flavor was less tasty and noticeably less sweet. If you love figs, you'll probably enjoy this, but if you're not a huge fig fan, look elsewhere.

 

[RedHen]

Organic Drunken Pirate Pudding 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Boge Standard Resistance carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a clear light-medium amber color.

This flavor taste strangely similar to the Darjeeling Sweet Tea to me for some reason. The smell out of the bottle is a nice spiced rum. The flavor is a sweet but not too sweet rum raisin. I think there is supposed to be some chocolate flavor (?) but I'm not getting any of that. The inhale is a subtle spice and the exhale is a nice sweet raisiny rum. I can taste the rum in this more than I can in the other rum flavors I've tried (Pineapple Party Animal & Kona Velvet). Throat hit is mild and in my acceptable range. Vapor production is pretty high but not the thick clouds like I get from the Hawaiian White Guava. My personal sweet spot for this liquid was 4.2 volts.

Edited to add: Wait! I've got it! Fruitcake. The good kind. Other reviewers call this a bread pudding flavor, but I definitely taste a nice homemake Christmas fruitcake brushed with massive amounts of liquor.

 

[kittypie]

I LOVE a well-steeped Drunken Pirate Pudding. I'm one of the ones who liken it to bread pudding...studded with raisins and soaked in a yummy, buttery sweet rum sauce!

ETA: Red, your last paragraph there...I think that's exactly what Annette was going for when she created DPP! Your reviews are really good!

 

[cherrycakes]

thanks for these a lot of these flavors I wanted to try

 

[RedHen]

woo-hoo, I just put in an order for another 11 samplers and a bunch of cartos, so I'll have fuel to keep going. I will have a complete set of all of the cherry, vanilla, and coffee e-liquids so I can try them all side by side. I also got some florals and *gulp* the coffee monkey (to complete the coffees and attempt the dreaded bananas).

 

[RedHen]

Organic Peach Perfect and Organic Peach Vanilla Swirl 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a V4L CoolCart on a Vapor Titan Manual Battery)

I tried these a few weeks back so forgive me if I'm wrong- but to the best of my recollection the Peach Perfect is a clear liquid and the Peach Vanilla Swirl is a clear, pale brown.

Again, I'm reviewing these together for comparison. I filled two carts, one of each flavor, and tried them side by side numerous times. I never decided which I liked better. Originally it was the Peach Vanilla Swirl, but when the Peach Perfect ran out I found myself missing it. If I had to choose I'd probably choose the Peach Vanilla Swirl because I tend to enjoy the more complex flavors more. As far as fruit flavors go, these were pretty good on the throat hit (if you like that sort of thing) but not nearly as high as the watermelons. These juices also tended to dry out my throat a bit. The Peach Perfect is a very crisp and clean but not too sweet peach flavor... almost like a peach Jolly Rancher but with slightly less sweetness. The Peach Vanilla was delicious with a rich darkness from the vanilla. I didn't have a variable voltage batt when I tried these, but they both tasted great at the Vapor Titan's 3.8 voltage.

 

[RedHen]

Organic Plum Crazy 5mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a smoktech 2.0 ohm tank carto on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a clear yellow, and gets significantly darker as the juice matures.

VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS DANCE IN MY HEAD. It would be hard for me to choose my very favorite Virgin Vapor flavor, even at gunpoint, but this flavor definitely makes the top five (with a bullet!). After first sampling this juice I immediately ordered two one ounce bottles. If you do not like sweet juices, this is not the juice for you. Plum Crazy is super sweet. The smell out of the bottle is a strong perfumey plum. While vaping, I don't find this juice to be purfumey or floral at all (compared to another vendor's plum that I used to like). Throat hit is virtually non-existent at 5mg, only slightly higher in the 12mg strength sampler bottle. The inhale is a subtle plum flavor and the exhale is a massive vapor cloud of sweetness. My personal sweet spot for this (and most fruity juices) is 4.2 volts. I think this would be a fantastic candidate to mix with something spicy-- maybe the chai latte? I don't know, but I definitely want to figure out a Spiced Sugar Plum recipe.
