RedHen's Virgin Vapor Flavor Reviews

[LouP]

I'm curious about the Strawberry Granita and the Strawberry Shortcake. I've had the first and really enjoyed my sample. It was a light and relaxing flavour to me that I enjoyed more and more as I vaped it. I can't decide whether to order more of it or try the Strawberry Shortcake. Any thoughts?

The Plum Crazy is quite good after only 2 days, I'll see if it gets any better over time. The White Cherry Crush was indeed tart with nice Cherry flavor. Mixed it with a bit of Naked Vanilla (about 5:1 Cherry:Vanilla) and I'm liking it a lot. More like a creamy cherry and not tart at all.

LouP... I think the Strawberry Shortcake has one of the Vanillas in it and a little Pillow Dreams too, possibly something else, but the flavors are similar in that you get a nice fresh Strawberry taste! I decided to get the lg bottles of the Strawberry Granita because it will go a little further since I always have Pillow Dreams to mix to my taste! The Shortcake has other and more complex flavors already mixed in by Annette! They're both soooo good and both play well with others! Oh... they also make great vape clouds too! Go for the Shortcake if you want it already mixed for you and a little bit of a creamy taste added, Granita for that fresh ripe Strawberry taste that you can add your own cream to (ex Pillow Dreams)

I've mixed both Strawberries with the Mango Caipirinha, Pineapple Party Animal, Pillow Dreams, Amaretto, Blk Cherry Marsh, and the White Choc Raspberry Souffle! Just recently found out it's also really good with the Original Sin... surprise! I'm really wanting to do a Chocolate covered Strawberry though and not sure which chocolate would be good and not too overpowering.

I was recently given a sample of Going Bananas and will mix the Strawberry with that soon. Think it'll be sooo good! I was afraid the bananas would be too synthetic tasting and...wow... I was wrong! It's like a semi sweet, perfectly ripe banana... spot on! I don't know how the VV team and Annette do it, but they're amazing! True mixologists with true, fresh flavors!

I have tried Kona Coffee Milkshake, Pineapple Party Animal, Bed of Roses, White Cherry Crush, and Naked Vanilla. Looking forward to hear what you think of them. Your review of Snake Bite is very similar to my experience with it.

Organic Kona Coffee Milkshake 8mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Mini Vivi Nova with 2.4 ohm head on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a clear medium brown.

The smell out of the bottle does not match the flavor of this juice, which is amazing. To my nose, I barely detect coffee, but when vaping- HELLO! It is not a dark, robust coffee. The name "milkshake" makes me think of the overly-sweet Starbucks fraps and it's not like that either. It is a nice, mellow, rich coffee flavor, like you'd get from a medium roast with lots of cream. It is subtly sweet, not obnoxiously. If you take your coffee with cream, this is the one for you. The inhale is a very very very very very smooth, creamy coffee and the exhale leaves with a very faint coffee bitterness. Throat hit is moderate, a four out of ten I would say. For the coffee flavors, so far my sweet spot is 3.8 or 4.0 volts- any higher and it starts to taste like bad diner coffee left on the burner too long. This flavor is a MUST TRY.

I liked the Kona Coffee Milkshake a lot but at a slightly higher voltage ~4.2v. I have a bunch of 2.4ohm heads that are off by quite a bit, some of them up to 2.9 ohms. At exactly 2.4ohm I think I would find my sweet spot at around 3.9v too. I thought vapor production is excellent/high. The first thing I thought of was the Starbucks Frappuccino but with a lighter coffee.

I'm lowbrow...when I first tasted Kona Coffee Milkshake (the memory will live on forever...everybody remembers the moment they fell in love, no?) I thought it tasted just like an Arby's Jamoca Shake.

White Chocolate Raspberry definitely needs a good long steeping (IMO) but the reward is worth it.

Organic ECO Caramel Kona Milkshake 8mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Mini Vivi Nova with 2.4 ohm head on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

*note* My konas are well-steeped- about three months. Jealous? I know.

This juice is a clear dark brown, probably the darkest I've seen of the VV juices.

The smell out of the bottle is a rich coffee, stronger smelling then the regular Kona Milkshake. The caramel flavor compliments the Kona perfectly, somehow it makes the coffee seem more robust (or maybe there is more coffee in this one?) It reminds me pretty much identically of those Nips caramel candies. Sweet, creamy, caramelly coffee. Of the three Konas, this is definitely my favorite. The inhale is a very smooth, rich coffee and the exhale is a perfectly sweet caramel explosion with faint coffee bitterness. Throat hit is lower with the ECO, a three out of ten. Sweet spot is 3.8 volts.

I really wanted to love the Kona Caramel.. I kept mine for months and kept retrying it- just did not ever work for me. I was not VG only at the time, tho, so I may try it again. I was on a mission at one point to find a caramel juice but many vendors/bottles/much $$ later I finally stopped. Frustrating.

 

[RedHen]

There must be something wrong with you, but everyone will probably say that to me after I review the KVM.

 

[kittypie]

I am not personally a fan of either the KVM or the Caramel KVM but I can see why others love it so much. MPage, try the Creme Caramel if you haven't already. It's been such a nice surprise how much I love it all on its own!

 

[MPage]

There must be something wrong with you, but everyone will probably say that to me after I review the KVM.

No and no- we are all winners if we can love any of Annette's creations. I am thankful that I found V V early on!!

Organic ECO Kona Velvet Milkshake 8mg, 100% VG
(sampled in a Mini Vivi Nova with 2.4 ohm head on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

*note* My KVM is well-steeped- about 3.5 months.

This juice is a clear medium-dark brown. When it first arrived it had lots of little white flecks that seem to have disappeared with some good shaking.

First of all, if you are an impatient person, this is not the liquid for you. I have sampled this juice a few times over the last three months (and had waited two weeks before trying it) and it's barely starting to grow on me. The smell out of the bottle is strongly rum, not much coffee to sniff. The first time I tried my KVM I got a very strange (and sort of gross) beer-like flavor. Not a good beer, like an Old Milwaukee or PBR or something. Subtle coffee + beer = my grandpa, thus this was dubbed the Grandpa Juice. Over the last three months this has gone from a pale amber to a much darker brown and the beer flavor has finally disappeared. The rum is tasty but definitely overpowers the coffee, in my opinion. The ECOpure nicotine is unbelievably smooth, but I just saw that it is being phased out unfortunately. It's a tasty vape (finally, after almost four months) but not really worth the wait, at least to me. There are legions of fans that will tell you otherwise, so try it and decide for yourself. Throat hit is lower with the ECO, a three out of ten. Sweet spot is 3.8 volts, any higher and it tastes burnt. Vapor production is outstanding.

Grandpa Juice!

 

[cherrycakes]

oh man I don't have the patience for that lol

oh man I don't have the patience for that lol

As Redhen prefaced on an earlier post, not all of us need the same steep time- I vape KVM right away, lol. And its one of my top two must haves.

 

[RedHen]

Organic Vanilla Latte 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in standard resistance Boge cartomizer on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a clear very pale amber.

When I first opened the bottle the paleness of this liquid surprised me- rich coffee from a clear liquid? One sniff and I was smitten. Hello, lovely. It is like a nice, dark, muddy cup of coffee (or espresso) with a buttery vanilla. The only criticism I have is that I'm not getting any of the "latte" part- I can't find the creaminess. This (to me) is dark roast coffee with no milk- maybe a vanilla Americano. The inhale is a rich, dark coffee and the exhale is slightly bitter with a hint of vanilla. Compared to the Konas, this is ten times the coffee flavor. It's definitely in your face, where I feel like the Konas are more subtle. Throat hit is also significantly more substantial than the Konas- upwards of a 7/10. Vapor production is lower than the Konas. Sweet spot is 3.8.

The only thing that could make this liquid any better would be if it were caffeinated.

 

[RedHen]

Organic Dark Roast Turkish Coffee 12mg, 100% VG
(sampled in standard resistance Boge cartomizer on a Joyetech Ego C-twist)

This juice is a very clear extra pale amber.

Review: see above. I could pretty much just copy & paste the review for the Vanilla Latte. Dark coffee flavor with subtle sweetness minus the vanilla on the exhale. I prefer the vanilla version, it gave the coffee some complexity. Throat hit is high- 7/10, vapor production is good but not outstanding, sweet spot 3.8. I think this flavor + creme caramel would be OUTSTANDING.

Next is the coffee monkey... bananas... I'm scared!

 

[cherrycakes]

my next order is definitely gonna have vanilla latte in it <3
