Some people like Brussels sprouts, some people can't stand them. We wouldn't have so many options if everyone had the same tastes. ;)

For those who can't stand brussel sprouts : remove the stem and the outer leaves, cut in half lengthwise and fry cut side down in a sauce pan ( good olive oil ) until lightly charred, flip over and sprinkle extra sharp cheddar cheese and cook for another two minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

hahaha I was just gonna post the same thing, though I do it without the cheese. I bet parmesan would be great too, though.

But seriously. Fry those sprouts. Or roast them in the oven. Prepare to have your mind blown. We're all tainted by having grown up with parents whose parents and grandparents thought everything needed to be boiled until it turned gray.

That actually sounds good! :)

So true ! It wasn't until i was seventeen and had veggies prepared properly at a good Chinese restaurant in NYC that i realized how delicious they could be.

In all honesty their juices aren't THAT bad, but all their juice is spoiled by using a cheap base that gives their juice a harshness and a specific taste, it's hard to describe if you've tried them you'll know what I mean. I've tried 18 of their flavors all have the same problem also tried different strengths of Nic, same deal.
Yea, it's called cheap juice flavor. I think many judge eliquid by cost more than anything lol.

looked exactly the same, smelled exactly the same and tasted exactly the same.

that was my experience as well, but if you *like* the ejuice, then it's okay if the profiles are so similar, right? :lol:

A friend sent me some Vista Vapor, also inexpensive, and I liked it .... better.

If you like really sweet rainbow sherbert then try the fruit explosion. The caramel coffee is a fav of my friend. I got the Shamrock which was similar to a McD's shamrock shake. :)

Lately I have been buying liquid from my local B&M. I pay right around the same price , usually within a dollar or two of what I would pay ordering the same stuff online and they let you sample all the stuff they carry.

Yeah, these days B&M-mixed ejuice, that you can try first, is really not expensive, compared to some of the *premium* juice that is online and quite expensive. I found that out now that most sites block me (in arkansas) and I resorted to B&Ms out of town when I do leave home (otherwise I just DIY)

One I like names a lot of their ejuices after race horses (being in a horse racing town) or names like Opening Day, which is a big deal in Hot Springs Arkansas. :) And it really was nice to be able to sample everything. In a way being "forced" to buy face to face has actually been very nice experience.

I have been steadily handing out my VW stuff to others because I just don't dig their juice. I tried it when I first started vaping almost a year ago and thought steeping would help...even went back to analogs for a while..came back and tried it again, still hate it. It is definitely something in their base that is super harsh to me and off tasting.

I've recently been on a cheapie juice adventure and have found some pretty decent ones. Side note: AiV is also starting to lose me a bit which was one of my faves, but something is definitely different in their juice that I do not care for.

I shall say this once again - out of 100 people - 25 would say it was all too strong ewwwwww, 50 would say it is ok, and another 25 would say it needs more flavoring.:lol: I say I am afraid to try any ready mades at their strength no matter who makes them - thus I make my own. :laugh: I do make 1 all day vape that I use 5% of the ready made juice. :p

Thanks for your opinion BMann! I've been on the fence about ordering from the for awhile. I see a lot of people hyping them on here, but I've never heard anything good about them from anywhere else, which bothers me. They have so many flavors and they're so cheap and in the past I've found that juice companies like this are too good to be true.

I really appreciate the forum members here as well as their opinions. But I don't understand how so many can like some of these mediocre juice companies. I got burned once with ITCVapes. I steeped the hell out of their juices but they were disgustingly artificial tasting and completely unvapable for me.

We've ordered from Vape Wild a few times. None of the eliquids that we ordered or got as samples from them were unvapeable for us. Some we enjoyed and reordered, some we did not care for as much as others, but none were thrown out. I never would have ordered a coffee vape for myself. I like to drink coffee, but did not care for the thought of vaping coffee eliquid. Our first order I got Tiramisu as a free sample. I changed my mind about coffee vapes. We recently got the Holiday Sampler packs (I order for myself and my daughter, and we vape at different nicotine levels). So far I have tried the Frapapow - a mocha coffee eliquid. I really enjoyed it. For me, the Sugar Cookie was a good one, too.

Everyone's perception of taste is different, and you have to factor in the equipment that you are using, the pg/vg levels, and nicotine strength. For us, Vape Wild is one of a few trusted budget-end vendors that we order from and enjoy.

I really wish that I was getting paid off in cash or eliquid at this time of year! The vape budget comes out of my Social Security check, after I pay my share of rent and other living expenses. We stick with budget vendors for a reason, and have found a few that we keep going back to because we really enjoy their eliquids. I am sorry for those of you that do not enjoy eliquids from Vape Wild, but, then again, if we all liked the same things this world would be a lot duller and less interesting.

that sounds delicious, can't wait to try it.

I put my cooked brussels in some home made italian dressing, then into refrigerator, and it becomes "snacks" for me. I just reach in and have 1 or 2 during the day. They are so good cold w/dressing.

Good morning. Glad I wondered across this thread. I'm putting a kit together for a girl at work. Seen their sample packs. But I put off buying one till I could see what flavors she might like. After reading this thread I think I'll pass. I don't want her to fail because of bad juice.

Well for her you can try MBV, Vista Vapors, ITC, and a few others that are reasonably priced?

After being a premium juice snob my entire vaping life, a friend sent me some Vista and I found 2 flavors I really like, and what a relief my friend can get 102ml bottle for $16.99, less with reward points and 30% off sales.

I mean, all you have to do is find 1 or 2 flavors you like and can vape to get off cigs......then take one's time testing out other stuff or learning some DIY.

I would recommend just having her try some flavors you have or have tried yourself to see if she likes one of them. If there is a B&M store near you that lets you sample, that is great too. Some stores in town here give you a taste, others do not. Getting something pre-steeped or that needs very little time to steep is good too, some really great stuff I have had really sucked to start with. Like Racehorse said too, 1 or 2 flavors you enjoy is enough to drop cigs and start vaping, as long as the equipment is decent and works correctly.

Just encourage her to stick with it, finding the right flavors & nic strength can be frustrating at times.

I've tried 18 of their flavors all have the same problem also tried different strengths of Nic, same deal.

Glad I read this. I jumped both feet in with Vape Wild and have been finding most all of their juice to be extremely harsh. I was chalking it up to the Nic levels and therefore started ordering from other vendors at 3mg instead of 6mg. This was all on a Evic Mini with a crown. I thought for sure it was the nic as I was producing more vape and therefore more throat hit/harshness. I have thoroughly enjoyed Sweet Complexity which I didnt get the same throat hit so was planning on just retrying some of the Vape Wild flavors at 3mg while I continue to reorder. Probably still will but at least I know not to be surprised if the harshness is still there.

My bigger issue so far has been consistency. I ordered a 30ml bottle of presteeped Smurf Cakes and could barely taste any berry. It was good but I was wanting more berry basically only had cake. At the same time I ordered 2 30ml that werent steeped. Let them sit for 5 weeks or so and with those the berry is definitely there but so is the harshness as well. I would have thought 5 weeks was plenty of time to steep. Didnt give up on it but it definitely went back in the cupboard. More surprised that there was such a discrepancy between the two, one with no harshness but no berry taste the other with a good amount of berry but painful to vape.
