IVapus i respect your review and everyone elses on here. Im glad yall had a great experience with VV and your "doctoring" of their liquid. But again there are a lot of Electronic Cig Websites out there trying to make a $. I wasnt asking for a refund or a new batch just giving a review. Im not here to establish a REP just looking to give my opinion since VV wont let me post one on their website and to hear everyone elses.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend, only to offer suggestions on how to go about getting what you want. For the record, what I said was that I used the menthol flavor from VV to doctor a flavor I didn't like from another vendor. I have not yet doctored any of the VV flavors. On the other hand, I was not keen at all on 2 of the 5 flavors I ordered from VV, the coffee, and the cohiba cigar. The coffee was a disappointment, I was really looking forward to enjoying that one and it's just okay at best. I may try to mix it one of these days. The cohiba cigar I got on a whim after reading a positive review about it somewhere. Don't know what I was thinking since I never even liked cigars. I think it's awful, and I expect beyond doctoring.

I would suggest you steer clear of Dekang or Chinese juices as I think your odds of being satisfied are much less, regardless of what vendor you order them from. I would also suggest you go with a vendor with a good e-liquid reputation who offers sample sizes. Some, but not all of these are pricey. There are resources here and elsewhere that facilitate e-liquid price comparisons between vendors, and also flavor reviews.

Again, best of luck to you.

well when dripping or refilling a cart with the vv e liquid i would tilt the bottle and without pressure to the bottle the liquid would start to spew out instead of a slight drop forming out of the tip of the bottle. should i expect that from pg e juice?

I just tried this with my VV bottles. Do you have more than one bottle doing this or is it just one? I wonder if you got a bad drip bottle tip or something?

The juices I got from VV were all 80/20 PG/VG and they don't just run out without squeezing the bottle. PG is generally supposed to be thinner from what I read, but even the 100%PG stuff I got from another vendor before doesn't just spew out without squeezing. I mean if I held it upside down it would all eventually drip out even without squeezing the bottle, but it would take a very long time.

Both bottles i ordered do this. Ive been reading some other posts and i hear you can add water to eliquid mixes. Do you think they might have been running low on a certain flavor and added some water to it and thats why it does this?

Beware their LR atomizers too. I ordered three, none of them come close to even a decent regular atomizer. We'll see how they deal with the return process.....

Edit: My mistake, they're HV, not LR; anyhow, on an eGo they're bleh
what would you expect? a HV atty is made to be used on a HV device

I have no idea, but that would not be my first suspicion. From what I've observed most of the vendors with a history on ecf have nothing to gain and everything to lose if customers aren't satisfied with their products, and as a result, they tend to be very focused on customer service.

I think it's more likely that they screwed up your mix inadvertently, or the flavors you ordered are normally relatively weak, runny, and low in TH by comparison to some other flavors, and as a result not to your liking. In the sample orders I've done recently from other vendors I've noticed that some flavors are much thicker than others, some much stronger than others, some have more TH, and some more vapor production, even given the same PG/VG ratio and no double flavor selection or anything like that.

With all due respect to VV, if you do your research on here for e-liquid vendor recommendations, you won't find them, or anyone specializing in Dekang or other Chinese liquids on many short lists. Having said that, I've seen several veterans on here who admit to buying and even vouch for certain preferred(to them) Dekang flavors. This seems to be the exception rather than the rule however.

I was in such a hurry to get started vaping that I neglected to properly research e-liquids. I'd spent two solid weeks researching what PV and accessories to start with, but the whole e-liquid area was so murky I just said "#@$% it" and ordered a couple 100% PG juices from the same vendor I bought my PV kit from. They tasted okay but were so harsh I couldn't take the vapor into my throat much less my lungs. My next purchase(from VV) was equally hasty. I needed some better options quickly or I would go back to analogs, so I piggy-backed a handful of additional flavors on an accessory purchase I had already planned to place with VV. I did know enough to get a PG/VG mix this time, and overall it worked out much better. Since then I've taken my time to read up on various vendors, flavors, pricing, etc. and have begun trying samples from several places. I doubt that I'll have occasion to buy Dekang again, but I wouldn't rule it out. Although a few of the flavors have turned out okay, it seems there should be better alternatives out there for the same price or not much more at least. If it turns out Dekang juices are just not to your tastes I doubt you'll find yourself in the minority here.

If you have not yet, I would still try emailing the vendor to see if there is a chance you could work something out.

WOW I am shocked that you did not like Value Vapor. I only order my 901 attys from them because it is the only place I have found to where I can take the 901 atty out of the package put it on my battery put in some liquid and vape without that horrible (they call it primer) taste. Dont know what they do different but there is no bad taste at all and I ordered from 4 different vendors before finding them.

The HV atty worked great on my box mod not on my ego or 510 but someone told me after I was like huh?? that it is not supposed to work on them only HV devices. I have also ordered their regular 510 attys and no probs there. At one time they were the only ones to carry the 901 round tip carts which I LOVE but they have been OOS. I love VV and their prices/ Have not tried the liquid

Everything Ive ordered from Value Vapor has been great !

My first order happened after emailing James about an out of stock item, he emailed me back with an ETA, I emailed him back saying I'll order that item when it comes in, but will make an order for the things I need now, he wrote me back saying he was on his way to the post office but would wait for my order to show up and ship it out today, 20 mins later I got an email, shipped !

Thats what I call great customer service !!

I dont want to beat this to death but like its been said, when a problem arises whether with a vendor here or amazon, ebay..I always go the email/phone route for a resolution b4 a negative review.

It's caca LOL

We spell it kaka over here...unless I'm thinking it's something you folks are not talking about? lol

I believe Noobie has learned some things here, and that's why ecf is so great. Approved ecf vendors will respond and resolve problems amicably if approached in that fashion. Only if that doesn't work (it should), then by all means pull out your big guns and go public.
