I'm not finishing the rest of my reviews out of respect for VB. At least for a few weeks. I am finding very mild taste on the single flavor juices and undefined tastes/lack of taste separation (I can taste one flavor but not the other(s) or the blended flavor) on alot of the premium or combo flavors. This is after a week or two steeping time which I found during summer and fall to be sufficient for most liquids.

I am assuming it is either due to the cold weather somehow or juices getting too cold or frozen in transit. So they shall sit a month at about 65-70 degrees so I can give them their proper due. It is to the point where I question whether I should order during the winter months, as it gets below 0 degrees F where I live and I don't know if they sit in semis, cargo holds, and carrier vehicles that are below 40 degrees while in transit. I also have stopped shaking them and will just let them sit for the whole time, in case that is the problem.

Is anyone else having the same problem...other than the tobacco flavors that are trying to emulate a real cigarette with that harsh, smokey touch or the menthol and the CB, which are strong no matter how much flavor you put in them, I would assume?

I am also going to increase my VG % in my next orders, as 20/80 and 30/70 seem thin and man you go through it fast, especially while dripping. Converse to the usual, 40/60 VG/PG seems tastier than the previously mentioned ratios as well for my latest batch of VB juices.

I'm not having a problem here and they come through the cold weather fine for me. My juices are always 50/50 and 18mg nic. The flavor is as it always is. I get a lot of one flavor juice too, i.e. blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, pear........ all have been very flavorful and I just got these within the last month.

Sorry to hear you're having a problem.

Personally, I think the bitter cold is killing the juices...I got my VB order today, and neither my Hypnotic or my Watermelon taste as they should. Way I see it, I'll just have to keep vaping inferior juice until my VB stash ripens up. My guess is that they're gonna need a few days at room temperature (as opposed to the few days they've had in some ice-coild delivery trucks) before they're ready for use.
