Vape Wild. Yay or Nay?

[Bikenstein]

vape Wild is very good for the value in my opinion. I ordered a sample pack with: Vanilla Clouds, Chocolate Snockers, Tigers Blood, Tiramisu, Rice Krisps, and Strawberry Cheesecake. I also ordered a 30 ml of I'm on a Roll, and they included 10ml samples of Sweet Complexity, and Ol Time Taffy. All the flavors are pretty good, except I do not like the Strawberry Cheesecake. I'm not tasting any strawberry, and it kind has a very weird taste in general, although I can see how it kinda tastes like cheesecake. A strawberry cheesecake by beard vape Co was is one of my favorites, so that came as a suprise. I'll try it again in a couple of weeks I guess. Over all, you have to hedge your expectations, you can't expect premium quality for economy prices, but Vape Wild is a very solid economic product. I'll continue to buy from them, as well as higher end liquids.

I expect "premium quality" if I go to any B&M, online vendor, or my buddy's lab. I don't expect anybody to use inferior products or methods to "cut costs". There are methods of mixing juice that everybody follows and they all have access to the same flavor vendors, nicotine and PG/VG vendors. Therefore, the only difference, other than price, between an economy juice and a "premium" juice is the recipe. A certain recipe will produce certain flavors. If you like the flavors of a certain recipe over another vendor's recipe, fine. But it doesn't mean it's better or "premium" cause somebody is gonna prefer the other vendor's over yours. Neither can be designated as premium or economy unless you mean Premium as in price as Economy is in price. If you want to call pre-steeped juices premium,fine. I call them pre-steeped juices.
I understand the grading and cost difference of beef cuts and agree with them. I have vaped a lot of juice, good and bad, but never thought one good juice was a premium juice over another good juice. Just priced higher.

You can ask them in the chat window if the package made it to the post office, if it's anything like my order from them the previous weekend which was stuck on pre shipment info until Tuesday when it updated to accepted that evening and quickly went to Coppell from there.

Thanks it was shipped. That local post office sucks. I had a package come from New York on priority mail in 2 days last week.

You're welcome. No argument there.

I'm interested in knowing if there are any known "tank crackers" in VW's line.

I like plastic tanks and I've been vaping almost 2 years. They're lightweight, easy to carry.
That said a general rule of thumb is any juice with fruits, cinnamon, or soda (including root beer)
have the ability to crack a tank. I do use some of these juices in plastic tanks from time to time
with no issues (probably just jinxed myself though), however keep it in mind if you do this
to keep a careful eye on the tank and have something handy in case it does crack to clean
it up. And it's always wise to get some glass or pyrex tanks just for vaping tank crackers.
Any vendor should have a warning up on their site about tank cracking juices, I don't
know if this vendor does or not. I know MBV does and many of their flavors are the same
offered as VW. E-Juice Flavors That May Break a Plastic Tank | Mt Baker Vapor
Hope this helps!

A day or two might be excessive, I'd start with 6-8 hours of breathing first. You cannot "un-breathe", so go with a shorter time period IMHO!



Rich, complex, and creamy flavors often take longer to steep.

Darryl, I've had to leave bottles open for 2 weeks and more to get rid of chemical tastes in some vendor's juice mixes and my own. I experimented with breathing or evaporating times and found that there was no loss of flavor from 12 hrs to 2 weeks. But I did find that the bad tastes evaporated quicker by breathing than not. When shaking up a bottle you are continuously remixing the alcohol and whatever else is in the flavors to the vg and these things don't float to the top. So it may take longer for them to evaporate from one juice to another. It was hard to determine if a breathing benefits after 24 hrs or if the juice just required steepin time alone, except for the first 2 juices I mentioned which were RY4's from different vendors and had exceptionally strong chemical tastes.. I believe from my experiments that a 24 hour breathing with the caps off is sufficient time for evaporation and will not result in a loss of flavor..

Yes well. I may have forgotten to mention the fact I'm always dropping them and plastic works out
better on the wallet.

Just received my first order from VW this morning. Got Freckled Lemonade, Root Beer Float, Smurf Cake, and Froot Hoops all 30ml,3mg and 80VG all with the extra flavor shots. Also got 2 free samples... Yummy Bear and Sweet Complexity. Going to try them out through the day

I expect the same "premium quality" online or via B&M. Don't have a buddy with a lab!

One of the things I've tried to do is latch onto a flavor profile for a while; like say vanilla/custard/ice cream/milk types. Then I sample so premiums and economical options within that same flavor type. I am finding tons of difference from vendor to vendor. Also, finding that one huge reason imho is that "premium" and "gourmet" are steeped. Steep most VW flavors 2-3 weeks and BAM! Many of the VW flavs can match the best gourmet flavs out there. They usually have the same ingredients as the economy juice.

True, there are a few rare companies actually extracting their own flavors using steam extraction and others. Those that I've tried are impressive!

*************************************************************************************************************************************
I started my VW tasting with 80%VG +Flav Shot on every order, that's why the 30ml of those, and the Carnival Apple and Ras Cheesecake. My thinking was that high VG tends to mute flavs a bit and so do tanks, so to bump the flav up. This experiment will show me if I was right or wrong there; and at what ratio I get the best performance and flavor.

The Smurf and OCC will go head to head on PG/VG and shot/no shot; to determine the optimal flavor. I have 50/50, 65/35, and 80/20 coming in each flavor both with and without a shot. I'll steep all for a target of 14-18 days before my initial taste. Then again at 21-24 days. and again at 30 days.

I just finished the steeping period for Vape Wild and am very happy with the flavors I've tried so far from my order. BUT as a newer vaper I didn't know that some flavors can crack plastic tanks. I got a free bottle of Sweet Complexity from them and it shattered my brand new Vivi Nova tank. Apparently citrus and banana flavors can do that. Hopefully some newer vapers read this before ordering these type of flavors since plastic tanks are common with beginners.

The Aspire ETS is a good, inexpensive glass tank. I have three and use them all the time even though I moved on to bigger tanks for my ADV. They're less than $10 and produce good flavor. I've never had one leak or break.

[Hatecraft]

Just got my first order from VW out of the mail. Just had time to smell them all. They all smell exactly like what they are supposed to replicate. I'll do some dripping later tonight. On Cloud Custard smells the best.

 

[DannyThunders]

Everybody has different tastes and devices. Some people have problems with PG. Hope you find what you are lookin for. Have you tried ITC Vapes?

I haven't, for now i'll be sticking with Xpotios. A little more expensive than Vape wild but totally worth it when comparing the quality

This isn't directed at VW, but I do want to mention that there is a difference in cheap bases and Nic. Some pg, vg and nic have off tastes and others are cleaner tasting. Also not all flavors are good. Some are cheaper and some more concentrated. I find it better when recipes don't discriminate based on the price and use what taste best. MBV pretty much only uses FW. Not that it's bad because some FW flavors are good but to use which ever flavor is best and not just use one brand is optimal. This is how I judge juices. I base it on quality of bases and the artistry of the flavor profile. I might not like the juice, but I can still tell its quality. On my thread I have had to deal with the same argument. Some perceive quality as presteeped expensive packaging and I have bought some really great juices from GVs and some others that definitely shouldn't be sold with the price tag they are listed by. Cost doesn't always mean quality, just that it might be better. I base on quality of bases and flavors. Taste is so subjective but some things are less subjective IMHO. Such as bases.

I've done a lot of diy with different vendors including FW. I agree and personally prefer other vendor's flavorings over some of them. But I do like theirs too. Also I agree there is artistry to come up with complex recipes. Flavor enhancers can make a great juice also. I don't get any off tastes in the pg or vg that VW uses. If I had anything to say it would be that I think their nicotine is a little harsh or maybe it's something else. I know there are some nice juices out there, I've had several but I don't like the high price. I will eat choice beef all day before I buy prime. And be happy with it. VW and comparative juice is good enough for me. To me it tastes clean and has good flavor and I think they use quality ingredients. Maybe my palate is not as refined as yours

I totally agree and that is why I said it wasn't aimed at VW. The nic can be a bit harsh but I don't really notice harshness in most of the flavors--- but VW never tastes peppery which that is really the worst turnoff and I have never had a VW juice that is peppery. It is a pet-peeve when people base juices on mirely packaging, price tag, branding, yada yada yada. Maybe I just take the road less traveled and beat to my own drum but I hate going along with the mainstream hype. I base my evaluations on juices if I think they are quality. I buy juices based on if I can't put the bottle down after I try them. I like finding reasonable priced juices that I consider quality, or premium. I only buy "high priced" juices occasionally and very few are re-orders. Some are but very rarely.

And I like buying a variety of good food, instead of buying overpriced organic when I will get less food and less variety for the price with the exception of my grass fed yuppie butter because it tastes better (I bake and cook with regular butter though).

I can understand your butter preference based on the cow's diet. I believe it does make a difference. We kept a cow for a man in our pasture for a while. She made real good milk until she started eatin onion grass and that was it! You couldn't drink it.

Drew @ VW didn't say anything about pre-steeped when we chatted pre-order. But at my request he said they'll be sending my 30ml in glass with droppers and he gave me $1 off each 6 bottles as a credit... since to get shot/no shot I had to order each 10ml as a single ! Hooray for VW!

Just got my first order from VW out of the mail. Just had time to smell them all. They all smell exactly like what they are supposed to replicate. I'll do some dripping later tonight. On Cloud Custard smells the best.

OCC is da best! IMHO!!!!

Let em steep, let em steep, let em steep! Use the force, stay away! LOL!
