This is one of the several juices that I haven't had a chance to try ~yet~ but plan to add some of this in with my next order...

Just curious...for those of you who are a fan of the Vanilla Bean flavor...do you use it as a straight-up vape or as more of a "mixer" with other BWB juices? I've seen various posts mentioning that it mixes great but am wondering how it ranks as a straight vape as well.

Thanks :)

Both. Like Ejoker I think it stands on its own very nicely. For quality I think it compares favorably to any other vanilla out there. This one is truly Vanilla bean flavor as opposed to an extract like flavor. Think Bryer's Vanilla Bean Ice cream and you're on the right page.

That said, it plays very nicely with others. I've mixed it with rootbeer, cola, RY4, Maple Tobacco, (not all in one mix of course, that might be kinda nasty) and a few others. Its a staple in my stash because you can do so much with it. Or not, your choice. Either way is a win :vapor::vapor:

My vb is a great change-of-pace flavor. I rarely vape it for more than a day before it goes back on the shelf, and that's not a negative comment. I just find that it makes me want other flavors. Kind of like an appetizer if that makes any sense. I've mixed it with root beer, nutty, and espresso-all were yummy. However, it stands alone even better imo.

Now THAT is something I must try! Brilliant idea.

let me know what you think when you do. Its one of my favorite mixes (and I do a LOT of mixing!!)...don't sell the cola and rootbeer idea short either. If you have either (or both) in your stash, you should try that mix too.....think rootbeer float!

Man, I wouldnt dare mix anything with RY4... that stuff is perfect!!

I will, however, try the maple tobacco/vanilla bean... sounds pretty amazing : D

I like it enough to vape it by itself in my reo grand... not terribly sweet... it's not an artificial or candle wax vanilla... I really haven't had another vanilla quite like it.

I also use it as a mixer... it does compliment don's ry4... blueberry... dulce and a host of other juices.

Like ejoker said, it does steep nicely... I am one of the few that prefers it unsteeped...

My joye 510 atties clog up when using vanilla bean, also with maple, and sometimes with hazelnut. Any suggestions on an atty for my 1000mAH ego that doesnt clog as easy for these darker liquids. Or do i just have to deal with the constant cleaning to enjoy these great flavors.

i have been using 306 attys almost exclusively for months now and I never seem to have clogging issues with them regardless of the thickness of the juice. You might want to check them out.

Me too. My 901's seem to have a hard time handling the dark ones....the Capps, Waffle, Vanilla....I'm going to try the 306's when they come into stock, because the BWB's are too good to give up for something stupid like a clogged atty :)

By the way, Virginia and Vanilla is a heavenly combo. Not exactly like the Springwaters I used to smoke, but every bit good enough to make me forget them!

Me three! I have 3 flavors that don't seem to work well with my LR510's - Vanilla, Malty Toffee, and Maple. Occasionally I get a good hit, but mostly little vapor and TH. So I've put them aside until I get some new equipment.

I've tried the Cisco 306's, but for some reason I cant get them to work right. I switched recently to Ikenvape 510's from the Cisco because I got a metallic taste from the Ciscos. So maybe I'll try out the Ikenvape 306's.

I always remove the driptip before drippping with 510's. When dripping on a 306, do you do this? Also, how do you prime them? With the 510's, I fill it with PG up to the bridge and let sit for 15 minutes to soak. Then I blow out and drip. Works really well. I used to have a lot of trouble getting new atties broken in and would typically burn the wick early on because it wasn't primed properly. Anyway, any suggestions for using 306's would be good.
