Alright, so I'm still pretty new to vaping, but I figured I would put up some reviews of the stuff that I received from my third order from Vapor4Life. I went a little overboard, but I was freaked out by that FDA - LAST CHANCE post. So I ordered like $140 worth of stuff in case it got banned this past Monday :p

First up: Manual Pass-through - I actually got this on my first order, and I LOVE IT. When I started out a few weeks ago with vaping, I ordered a Blu. Yes the Blu kinda sucks, but it got me into vaping. Now for the PT, I don't know what I would do without this. The higher voltage just plain rocks my ... off. Almost everything tastes better on this thing, produces a great throat hit, and I get a good amount of vapor(just so you know, I'm really not hardcore interested in vapor, just need enough to feel like I'm smoking) I love not having to wait for a battery to charge, and I got a car adapter so I can rock it in the car. I %100 recommend this to ANYONE thinking about getting one, just do it!

Automatic Pass-Through - Ok so on this 3rd order they threw one of these in for me, and I'm not digging it as much. Doesn't seem to work nearly as well, and I seem to have to put a lot of effort into taking a pull off of it to do anything. I'll give it some more shots later, but so far does not hold a candle to the manual PT.

Extra Long VK Manual Battery - I asked a question on this forum a few days before ordering one to see how they compared to the other batteries and I got quite a few responses on it. They said that it lasts forever on a full charge(of course I'm thinking anything would last longer than my Blu) and that it has almost the same performance as the PT on a full charge... And they were RIGHT! I LOVE THESE BATTS also. The only thing is being a dude, I get some .... from my buddies for "trying to be a grandma" I don't care, these are awesome and I will take the shots to be satisfied with my vaping.

Ok now on to flavor reviews. Unless noted they are all 11mg of Nicotine. I made a huge mistake ordering really high .... earlier, and 11mg seems to be a good spot for me atm. I'm not going to give them a score, I'm not going to delve to much into the "crisp nutty tone, very throaty, blah,blah,blah" I'm just gonna say if I like it or not. I'm also going to order them in terms of what I use the most top to bottom. I still have quite a few flavors I haven't had the chance to try yet, so I may update this as I do. Unless I get bored of reviewing, which is highly possible :D

#1 Smilin' Special Menthol - I'm really surprised on this. I smoked for about 13 years and couldn't stand menthol cigs. Tried the menthol in the Blu carts and was confused at how much I preferred them over the other flavors, so I figured I would give these a shot. WOW. They taste just like an Andes Mint to me. I ended up ordering 60 mL on this last order, because I didn't want to live without them:oops: Also goes to show order crap that you don't even think you would like, you will surprise yourself.

Addendum - I order the menthol sampler, and liked all of them, but the Smilin' really stood out to me as my go to. I would really suggest trying them all and pinpointing which one you LOVE.

#2 Coffee - They threw a cart in as a freebie on my second order. And I ordered 55 mL on my third order :p. I'm very much a fan of coffee in general, so this didn't surprise me that I liked it, it surprised me @ how much it tastes like coffee.

#3 Cappuccino - I can see this switching places with Coffee from time to time. Where Coffee is a bit bitter Cappuccino is sweet as can be. And all of these coffee flavors are MUCH better on a PT or long batt. Because of how warm the vape is in comparison to a small battery, it honestly gives me the feeling of drinking one of these through those small stirring straws:) I love to kick back a relax with these. I do have to say oddly enough, I can't stand the coffee flavors in the morning. I guess assmouth doesn't mix well with them.

#4 Caramel Mocha Frappachino - Yeah I love coffee :p

#5 Ice Cream Sundae - Awesome vape, and I can't wait to try it in one of my Coffee carts, I think it would be awesome with a hint of Coffee.

#6 RY4 - I kinda like this, but I'm not positive I'm getting the right flavor on this. I order a metric crap ton of 36mg that makes me sick to my stomach if I vape it, so I ended up cutting it with VG about 1:4. The taste is good, but it seems to fluctuate between really good and not really anything, no matter how much I shake the damn bottle. Ofcourse it could also have to do with the Blu's atty since I haven't got a cart for RY4 yet, I'm dripping into the Blu(and yes I know I will probably destroy the batts at some point, but honestly not really worried about that now that I have VK stuff:D)

#7 Pineapple - Loved it at first, tasted just like Pineapple, but ended up being the only thing I could vape for 5 days in a row... It is NOT a 5 day vape. I'm already sick of this, and I think I will come back to it later, but I will say definitely a once in a while vape for me.

Ok now onto the not so hot in order of best to worst

#9 Peach - Meh. Don't hate it, don't love it.

#8 Blueberry - It honestly just doesn't taste like much to me. I mean I get a bit of a hint of it, and it produces almost no vapor. Possibly the cart was a little messed up, because I have the same thing happening to one of my Smilin' Menthol carts, but I'm not sure. If someone can let me know if they had the same experience I would love to know. Not sure if I will order it, it was a freebie they threw in, so no loss there.

#9 ALL FORMS OF TOBACCO - This is what blows my mind. I can't stand tobacco tastes. Since I started vaping, literally from day one, I started hating the smell of analogs. I tried to smoke a couple of times and am just disgusted by it now. So more power to ya if you enjoy these, but they are not for me. I do take back one thing, the Virginia is vapable, but only because it seems to have a strong cherry-ish flavor to me. Not something I would be excited about vaping, but could stand it if need be.

Coming soon(maybe): Cola, Pina-Colada(gonna wait for the agony of the Week of Pineapple to subside) Cinnamon Roll, and Espresso.

tbh i haven't had the blueberry in carts and i haven't had it in a washed out cart--but when i've refilled a complementary flav with it, i've had kinda the same experience. again, though, i wouldn't judge it myself based on that, since i haven't tried it solo. i didn't get much vape, and not much flav. (i'm also not a huge blueberry fan, though, so.)

Very nice review :)

I may have to order a manual PT to try it out. I have thought my auto was cool but if the manual is even better I am all for MORE POWER!

The Coffee flavors, I do not drink coffee regularly, and when I do (once every 6 months or so) I take it black...no sugar no cream. So I am shocked that I really really really dig the coffee carts! I have a 5 pack of Mocha Frap and I am rationing them until I can place and receive another order of them :)

Nice review!

I'm not understanding your "friends" and the "trying to be a grandma" comments. Sounds like sour grapes to me. ;)

Grandma never had anything like the VK. It's easy to tell by looking at all of those old photographs... Her smile isn't NEARLY big enough! :D

They are talking about the length of the battery, it's like those huge cigs older ladies like to smoke. I don't care though, the performance is stronger than the razzing :p

wonderful review! i must be one of the few who, while not disliking the PT, am not a huge huge fan of it. i've watched (and read) descrips but i really don't get any huge difference in flavor or vape, beyond the first few pull or two i take.

i noticed the same thing about the blueberry, which is disappointing and i am currently pawning off my blueberry juice i got WAY too much of out of excitement.

like you, i LOVE the smilin' menthol and am curious if the menthol juice is smilin as well, or not! do you know?
