Ordered my first juice from VapeWild last week. It took a lot longer than I figured it would (8 days) to get from TX to the east coast. Maybe due to weather conditions. It's basically been a week in transit so I'll call that the first week in steeping so only one more to go! The great thing is that it came in a non-descript box with the return address name of "Buck Wilderness." My wife asked wth I ordered from someone named Buck Wilderness.

I decided to start with the 6 x 10ml sample pack (50/50 at 9ml nic level). They even threw in an extra 10ml bottle of something like "Green Apple Ice" I think AND a "pay it forward" 10 ml bottle (3ml nic) of something with the name "Smurf" in it. I've been vaping the same flavor of juice, for the most part, for the last year from Ahlusion. I've been very happy with it but after reading great reviews here about VW I decided to give them a try. It also helps that they're about HALF the price of Ahlusion. Guess I'll see if one of these 8 different flavors can beat out my regular one!

Even though it's only been a week (in transit) I'm seriously thinking about cracking open the freebie Green Apple Ice flavor tonight and giving it a try. I know I'm supposed to steep it for two weeks but I can't stand the wait! :D

Hope you find one that will satisfy you. The Apple of My Ice is my wife's favorite and she's super particular about apple flavors. If those don't do it for you, order another sampler, cheap enough :)

I keep a google doc similar to that, but without the ranking column. Just a note as to wether I'd reorder or not.

Some of their juices are good right out of the box,so why wait,never know you may find them to be good now,and even better in another week.The one with smurf is smurf cake,it's a blueberry cheesecake,i dont know if it's good right away or not,as i let that one steep before i tried it,but i can say if you like blueberries and cheesecake,then that is a good one to try.I got a 10ml sample of it,and liked it enough that the same day i tried it,i ordered a 120ml of it.

I went ahead and cracked open the "Apple of My Ice" flavor after reading Bikenstein's comment. I rewicked and filled it with that one and so far tonight I like it! It has nice apple flavor up front with a minty (menthol-like) backend flavor.

Glad you like it. I've heard somebody say it was all menthol and little apple flavor. But if that was the case my wife wouldn't touch it. I think too that it has good apple flavor without bein overpowered with menthol and mint like most Apple Chills or Apple Menthols are.

Somethin I'd like to know is how you guys are testing out your juices before you decide to tank up one. I use Joyetech 510 atty's cause they are easy to clean and cheap and I can use 3 or 4 at a time to test 3 or 4 juices quickly. Or sometimes I'll just use one and clean it between juices. That keeps me from contaminating a tank or a wick in an RBA and having to change it out. I know some of you are probably putting a little juice in a tank and then tryin another right behind it without even cleanin the coil head. Or just drippin a different juice on the same wick that you just used another on. If you are doin that you're not gonna get the flavor right. :)

I've been testing in my magma,if i vape it until i get a dry hit then the rayon is pretty well clean,so unless i'm changing to a flavor that i think may be lite,i dont bother rewicking.Tonight i started out with banshee on fresh wicks,vaped until dry,then dripped some grape gatsby.I was hoping banshee would be better,seemed dry and not alot of taste,but i will run through a tank of it anyway to see if it gets better.Grape gatsby is pretty good,nice intense grape taste,not something i would use as an adv,but same deal,i'll run through a tank of it and see.Not like i really need more juice right now,but i'm itching to pick up a couple more 120's haha,so i have a few more samples to check out and see if i can find out what my next order will be.

No just mad cause I was excited to finally try the juices today but nope my hopes shattered lol. I guess it's cause I'm used to Mt. Baker's shipping but I understand the weather is bad.

I don't think it's Mt. Baker's shippin versus VapeWild's shippin so much as the weather and USPS services in Texas versus Washington. Monday will get here and it will be over. I'm waitin on vapemail myself so I sympathize.

Some flavors carry on in a wick for quite a while. I did Top of The Mornin earlier and ran it dry. Then I did about 3 mils of Tiramisu (yech) and ran that dry and just now put in a few ml of Cinammon Roll and the coffee is still flavorin the rayon. It's getting fainter as the cinnamon is takin over but it's still there.:)

Edit: I guess coffee goes with Cinammon Roll cause this is pretty good. But not with Tiramisu

Great question. Interested to see others replies too.

I don't have a true dripper - made one.
I took out the filler on a new carto, a Smokeless Image Bottom Horizontal carto.
This leaves just a small coil and a teeny tiny cotton pad at the bottom.
Then put 3-4 drops into to vape/taste it.
For the next flavor, I rinse it in hot water, dry and blow it clear, then carefully vape off the remaining water, careful not to burn it.
I think a bottom coil carto, rather than a traditional vertical coil carto, would be required for this method.

Then my K1 for 1/2 a tank.
The BVC coils change flavors well like 5-7 pulls.
That's been on hold until the cotton BVC though....

Occasionally I've been using a ViviNova lately and after 6 or 7 pulls the previous flavor diminishes but there's still a carry over in flavor. If the wick is half wet and I'm putting in half a tank of another flavor it changes the new flavor by mixin with the whole tank. This is sometimes good but most of the time it ain't. :) I have better results usin a Rose V2 most of the time and changing the rayon when I go to another flavor.

I have 6 heads I'm using between my 2 Atlantis tanks. I change the coil head every time I change juice flavors. 2 heads are in the attys, 2 are soaking or drying, and 2 are ready to install.at a juice change; or use if needed. I only use 3 for my one sub tank mini and use the same rotation scheme. I also have 3-5 new unopened heads for both the Atlantis and subtank in reserve now. I have discovered in the last few weeks since I implemented this scheme that I get much longer life out of all my coil heads now.

On my RDA, I change wicks often when I am sampling, or at a local B&M taste testing their latest offerings. I have also found that super sweet fruity cereal flavs such as fruit loop and crunchberry type flavs really taint for a long time. I always re-wick when sampling any flavs like that; whether at home or at the b&m. I only change my RDA coil(s) when I get bored of them, which is often, lately. Just put a 28AWG twisted single in: 7 wraps at .7 ohms on my MutX V3 RDA tonight and put the same in the RBA for the Subtank. Loving VW Strawberry Cheesecake in that right now!

Grab a bottle locally, your still going to need a week to steep for the best flavs on most juices, not all. Some benefit from even longer steep time. Thay had some bad weather in TX last week. You'll most likely have it Monday. USPS delivery and steeping service hard at work!

What does tracking show? Is it close?

Having seen so many great reviews in this thread I decided to make my first order. To make the most of shipping and Royal mails ridiculous fees I went for 3 sample packs.
I got in Max VG 3mg: Carnaval Apple, Pearadise, Razzleberry, So Berry Good, Peach Tea, Fruit Bomb, Circus Bear, Freckled Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade, Blue Lemon Squeezy, Maple Pecan, Pralines and Cream, Strawberrys and Cream, Green Apple Envy, Cha-Cha-Chi, Swedish Candy, Pina Colada and Bloody Good Oranges.

I'm not much of a dessert/custard fan and really dislike vanilla so that wiped out a lot of popular options. Only one I'm disappointed I didn't order was Sweet Complexity so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for a sample.

My parcel managed to make a quick escape from Coppell and is currently at Chicago awaiting a flight to the UK. Ordered on the 25th so not expecting it for at least a week still...
