I have four favs- others were not for me. Worst case wd be that you cd swap some out. V V is my main vendor- I get my marlboro-like from another vendor and thats it. I spent months testing/wasting from other sites and none were as good as V V. She even includes her customers in some decisions. So its her fault that her juice is so good that now I have another addiction, ha- but at least its not the nasties!

I will even buy your Kona Velvet from you if you do not love it like I do.

So whats the best way to vape this kona velvet milkshake?? Carto tanks, vivi novas, or genesis type atomizers like the zap????? Does the flavor come thru best using lower res, or standard res?


I only like Orange Creamsicle in Genisis attys @ 3.7 - Only like KCM dripping @ 6 V. - Other juices from VV vary - some I only like in genisis, some in Odysseus, some in a dripping atty.

So is orange creamsicle pretty good?? Ive tried other vendors version of the "50/50bar" and they taste like cough syrup.. How is this one from avl??

RedHen, everyone's taste buds are different but I can't really distinguish the rum in the flavoring. It's not overpowering.

Kona coffee cream is definitely distinguishable but all the other flavors blend into a creamy smooth concoction of heaven.

Not sure how to describe it better than that. If for some reason you don't like it, you'll be able to trade it with any vape buddy for something you like. Like I said earlier, I've turned it on to at least a dozen friends and everyone has bought it for themselves. I've even lied to a couple that I didn't have anymore when they ran out and Annette didn't have any in stock to order.

I like KCM in anything that doesn't burn it. I have a half bottle that's probably at 6 weeks of age by now. KCM is not sweet out of the gate, but as you start hitting it, it has a backdoor sweetness to it that builds into something rather pleasant. Lately, my favorite usage of KCM has been with a CE3 on an EGO, which IIRC, is about 3.3v. I try to think of myself as more complicated than I really am, but as it turns out, it's the basics that work for me more often than not. With that said, standard res cartos and the CE3 bottom coils at lower voltages have been working for me as of late with KCM.

ETA: I see you said KVM. . .I got crossed up while reading. Either way, I have been enjoying my KCM. :)

The rave reviews of VV flavors & customer service have made me decide to do the full plunge and order 1oz bottles of 8 flavors... I already know what kind of flavors I like to vape and there is a pretty hardcore consensus that her flavors are true and amazing, so I have no doubt. :)

The flavors are awesome. Better yet, is her ability to have 100%VG thinned perfectly, so it works well with everything. The good thing about VG, is that we don't have to taste that god awful sucralose sweetener aftertaste that is in so many pg dominant blends. I have never liked diet soft drinks for that reason. When I found that aftertaste in other vendors flavors I had tried, I was immediately turned off, regardless of how good their target flavor actually was.

I just received my KCM today, and when i vape it, all i can taste is like creamy caramel + tobacco, but not the coffee, is this the taste of KCM or something wrong with my taste bud? I am using Ego C


I wd say its taste buds- all I cd get from it was the dark coffee- if I cd have gotten the flavors you mentioned, I wd still vape it. Funny how that works? Try it again in a little while and it will generally taste differently.

I got a funny taste from the KCM too, but you really need to steep it to enjoy it. I find that's the case with most Virgin juices, they need to be steeped to be fully appreciated. The KVM tastes great out of the mailbox but it gets soooo yummy after a couple of weeks of steeping <3 I've had non-smokers grab my PV out of my hand after smelling me vape KVM. It's a hit and I use it to convert smokers. I'm sneaky.

I've been a fan of the Kona Velvet for several months, actually my all time favorite flavor. I use cartomizer tanks exclusively. I use single coil Ikenvape with the two laser drilled holes on a variable voltage mod. Depending upon my mood taste, I vape it anywhere between 4.0v to 4.8v.

I'd always wanted to try the Kona Coffee Milkshake because of its award-winning reputation, but it was out of stock all summer. I got two bottles of it when it became available again; 50/50 pg/vg and 100%vg. I have not been able to determine an appreciable difference in the characteristics between these: flavor, vapor, ease of wicking, throat hit, etc. It's a great flavor, but I still prefer the Kona Velvet Milkshake more. I'm ordering more today.

So after trying all three konas my favorite is definitely the Kona Caramel. My KVM has steeped for almost ten weeks and I'm not a huge fan of it. I still get an odd beer-like flavor from it (beer + coffee = my grandpa, this has been dubbed the Grandpa Juice). Kona Caramel knocks my socks off though.

Also... I think that the original Kona + Bella Amaretto would be pretty spectacular. Has anyone tried this combo?

If you want to sell your Kona Velvet- what is the nic level/what btl size/what price? You can pm if you prefer.
