I've never had any their juices. I got a sample pack coming in soon though. Does that make me a fan?
If you're going to bash a company, you can at least have a decency of sharing your experience

My point exactly the people who did share their displeasure with this company's juice did not do it according to you format or guide lines so you publicly ridiculed them. hence why I dubbed you a posting police member.

So why do you think (x brand juice sucks is not a valid opinion or description). Do you assume all who read are tarts and will shun brand X because Joe or Suzy dose not like it?

Why is it indecent to not be descriptive and just say you dont like it?

Finally I just cant help my self from poking at someone when they are irritated its in my nature ;-)

Yes I did come across irritated. Maybe because I ordered a sample pack after reading all the good reviews on the other thread and all of a sudden I see this thread popped out.
believe me I've had my share of dumping juice (bought on great reviews from ecf) down the drain.
My juice is coming in tomorrow, so I guess you'll hear from me again......:vapor:

I wanted to like them too, but ew.
I'm not sure why all the excuses and bashing from people who have a
difference of opinion. Aren't we all on the same side here? Get a
grip everyone.

Just got twelve bottles of juice from Vape Wild, and only one (McDelicious) tastes good right now. Obviously, they need to steep, but I just wondered if it's normal that the couple others I tried taste like a dead fish was marinating in the VG they used to make my juice. WTH? Did I get a bad batch? Did they go fishing and forget to wash their hands before mixing? Holy heck, it's awful, and now I have to rewick, because the flavor won't go away even after cleaning my tank and filling it with straight clove juice. The rotten fish is still coming out loud and clear... I think I'm gonna horf!

Add me to the list of those who say this company is not for me.
I am seasoned on cheaper juices too - a MBV fan, I know to air
and steep everything. I just don't get the hype from the select
few who rave on and on, then the rest don't like any of them.

I noticed straight off the reviews on the website are a little too
detailed and good too. Like the same person wrote them.
If nothing else there is a huge quality control issue on their juice,
lots of mistakes being made in mixing. Maybe they will take
notice and get that taken care of.
If anyone enjoys the juice, congrats. As for me, I'll stick
with what I know. :vapor:

If the juice wasn't good I certainly would say so. I'm seasoned as you are with cheap juices, expensive juices and diy. I don't "hype" anything but I will recommend a good juice company like VW and share what I like and what I don't like. As far as a "select few" goes, I only see a select few that aren't happy with the juice, so your statement seems bass akkerds to me :) I don't bash people and I respect your opinion, but it seems like you are bashin folks that like the juice and give reviews about it. That's not nice....... Hannypoo, if you like McDelicious but say your juice is bad then it must be bad! :). I would definitely let them know something is wrong. Talk to Steve Wild about it.

Not bashing anyone, if you enjoy it more power to ya. I stand by what I wrote though.
I've seen a lot of people complain about this or that and a lot of excuses - maybe it wasn't
steeped enough, maybe you got a flavor shot, maybe you're using the wrong equipment,
maybe fish fly........ . I see a lot more than a select few that have indicated unhappiness.
Again, I stand by what I wrote but if you enjoy it what else matters?

I hope you like it Juice reviews are really not a good way to judge a juice. Its really just a personnel opinion Its only good for the Juice company if someone like noted likes it then people will buy it at least once just because thats what we do.
Theres nothing factual or tangible to say why this is good and this is not. I do feel for ya and it is irritating we've all been there.

Let us know if it smells like fish! Seriously I'm sure it will be fine, you could
always zip it up with some vg or something. I ended up mixing one of their
flavors with another flavor from another company. There are all sorts of tricks.

I've been lookin for a good catfish flavor. Let me know if any taste like catfish...:)

Mixin juice is not that difficult if you have quality ingredients. I'm very picky about what I vape. That's the reason I have made my own for so long. But the price of Vape Wild is so low that I've basically stopped diy because of the convenience and the quality juice they make.. My favorite is Tiramisu. My wife's favorite juice is Apple of my Ice. Everyone that has tried my VW juices have complimented them on how good they are. I guess we all have a taste for crappy juice. :laugh: That would be a fish flavor too, huh?:facepalm::vapor:

Since these juices are made fresh, steeping 2 weeks is recommended. I like most of them fresh but some do need to air out for a day. Any ethanol based flavorings need to go thru evaporation time and most juice from any manufacturer benefits from steeping.:2c:

Yikes... Didn't mean to start a war. Haha!

I haven't written off VW, yet. Just wondering if the fish flavor was normal before steeped. Out of the 80+ flavors I own, I've never come across any that tasted like roly poly fish heads pre-steep. They usually just taste like poison. If it's normal, I'll continue to let them steep. If not, eeeeew.

I've read a lot of reviews and never have I read about any tastin like fish heads. I have sampled a lot of their flavors myself and never had any that remotely tasted that way. So I would say it isn't normal at all. :) Take the caps off and tips out and let them breath 24 hrs. If they still have a bad taste contact VW. BTW I like fish heads. I've eaten snapper head stew with a whole head in it. The cheek meat is very tasty. The eyeballs are crunchy and soft inside but lack flavor. :) I've never eaten roly poly fish heads though. They must taste bad, huh? :)

Naw...they're YUM!

In case you weren't aware, she's riffing off an old Dr. Demento favorite, documented below for the pop-culturally challenged (skip ahead 3 minutes to get to the music).

Eat them up yum.....:laugh: Yeah I heard that before, somewhere I can't recall, but don't know Dr. Demento or why he would be popular. They sure make fish heads sound nasty. I guess you can make anything sound nasty, but everybody likes HOG bellies :)

Haha! I wondered if anyone would recognize the roly poly fish heads line. It's an oldie but a goody... circa 1980? Gosh, I'm old. (Apparently, you are too, man00ver. ;))
