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...

You should find plenty you like from that group! On the bright side, they're steeping in transit, and should be ready to vape when they arrive! :D :facepalm:

A little breathing might help too

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?

Ya I'm going to have to go pick up a bottle today since I'm down to probably a tank and a half left of my two juices from mt.baker. I just don't want to pick up locally cause for the price of one bottle here I can order 2 online but looks like I have to. The tracking says it departed Dallas, TX and the expected delivery said it would arrive yesterday but it's been showing this same thing for a couple of days now and nothing get's updated.

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 usually tank up a new flavor on a fresh wick. Then when that tank is dry, I check to see how to see how gunked the coil is. Some flavors seem to cause more gunk than others. If it's not a new flavor, I just go ahead and try to refill with similar or complementing flavors if I'm changing flavors. I usually re-wick every 3 tanks or at least once a day. I also test on a freshly wicked freakshow rda and sometimes the tugboat.

I do the same but I know their is a carry over of flavor. I've even boiled coils before and some flavors were still retained. I'm just thinking that some folks doing this may not be following a tank with such a complimentary flavor and are getting some not so good tastin juice from it thinkin it's the VW 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!

I've got Kanger coil heads over a year old that I just clean and re-use. My wife has 1 that is the original head that came with her first 650 kit and has never been cleaned. It still vapes like a new one but she has always used the same flavor in it. I noticed that the fruits can add a bad carry over taste to juices like SC and Tiramisu. When I test new juices for flavor I do it in 510 attys but when regular vaping, I'm a little lazy or impatient and don't always re-wick an rba or change a head out in a BCC when I go to another flavor. Sometimes I have to suffer through a half a tank or more of funky juice because of it. :)

That's why i dont put it into a tank at first.I try it in the rda first,if i get any off taste,then i will rewick and try it again.Then if it seems like it may be good,i'll throw it in a tank with fresh wicks.I wont take a chance on possibly missing a good flavor because it got tainted without me realizing it haha.

I use the same - Joyetech 510. They can last for months. I clean in between flavors using 100% VG until the flavor is gone. its much more efficient than filling up a tank since I can use 2 drops to test. It tells me instantly if additional steeping is needed or if i absolutely hate the flavor. No more needing to dump a tank!

I give them a big Nay

My order was as follows


1 x Rice Krisps e-Juice
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 80%+ [ Max VG ], Bottle Size: 30 ml + $4, Flavor Boost: Yes)

1 x Vape Wild eJuice Sample Pack (60 ml)
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 80%+ [ Max VG ], Flavor #1: Strawberries & Cream, Flavor #2: Butterscotch, Flavor #3: Fruit Hoops, Flavor #4: Yummy Bear, Flavor #5: Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Flavor #6: Birthday Cake, Flavor Boost (applies to all 6 flavors): Yes)


They also threw in a sample of Fruit bomb and a sample of licorice rope in the same VG / Nic content as my order.


I vaped a few drips of each out of the box with fresh cotton on each and they all tasted very weak and sort of chemically. After two weeks steep time i tried them again and the flavors were stronger but so was the chemically aftertaste. Gave them another couple weeks and we're still in the same ballpark.


The way i would explain the flavors is this : Where most companies flavors taste like either the actual item, or a candy version of it (Strawberries / strawberry candy) , VapeWild flavoring seems to taste more like the what the Air freshener / Candle flavoring version of it would.

For those who may be interested, I wrote about Vape Wild over on my blog. I did a mild comparison between them and my current favorite e-liquid vendor, Mister E-Liquid. :)

This part here about the boosts,

They also offer a free flavor boost if you request it.

The boosts actually do cost a little more when selecting them the price will increase slightly.

You're a good writer and it was a good read, thanks for sharing that. :)

I enjoyed readin your blog, did a good job. VW doesn't give free flavor boosts to my knowledge and there are also a couple of other statements in there that I believe you are mistaken on but don't want to start those issues up again. The only problem I have with steepin 2 weeks plus is my juice usually doesn't last that long :)
Everybody mixes juice with different per centages so what 1 vendor recommends for their juice may not be best for another vendor's juice, such as addin a boost to 50/50 juice for tanks. You're a good writer

Tomorrow, I should be getting:

Fruit Hoops
Root Beer Float
Birthday Cake
Tiramisu
Circuis Bear
On Cloud Custard
Just Peachy
Strawberries and Cream
Peanut Butter Cup

All have been steeping for a week in Texas. Any of these good right out of the mail?

I like Tiramisu, OCC, Circus Bear, and PBC fresh but I seem to be in the minority on PBC. A good airing out may be needed before vaping.
