Just a final note on the subject:

The 'same' juices I received where not the same juices.
They were mixed differently.
As in I ordered 'orange juice' but received 'apple juice'

If I were to go into a store and buy milk, only to open the carton
and see it was chocolate milk, I would be very annoyed.

If I were to be changing the oil in my car and ordered 10W-40,
but the containers actually contained WD-40, I would be angry.

When I receive multiple orders of chemicals and nicotine that I will inhale,
and they don't contain what I ordered, there is a serious QC issue.
For me it goes beyond annoyed and angry and enters scary.

In a way, I guess I should thank VW for getting me to go 'all in' with DIY.

I hope the best for VW customers, but you might keep an eye out for these issues.

Have you complained to VW (the most important to complain to?

If so, what was their response?

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.

Eigate Aspire ETS - EGO Clearomizer BVC


I have a few of these as well and they have worked great for me while on the go. I would recommend them.

I've had my bottle of OCC sitting in the box since the 24th. Took it out and removed the cap every now and then during that time. Shook it up , too. It still tastes like plain old cake to me. So does Smurf Cake. Not that it's bad, it tastes pretty good but I think I'm not able to get everything out of these more complex flavors. This is in Aspire ETS tanks with new heads, which are the best I've tried so far for flavor. Maybe I vape too much or my taste buds are still shot from decades of smoking. :facepalm:

Hopefully my big bottle of I'm On A Roll will be here tomorrow!


I've been struggling with getting the full flavor out of all juices I've tried too; from VW and other venders. Some days I'll barely taste anything at all and feel like I'm just vaping on air and other days I get hit with the flavor I believe they intended to impart. It's frustrating, but in the end I'm so happy to be away from cigs. I did some flavor shots on a few VW flavors and that seemed to help bring more flavor forward. I'm hoping time and clearing out my sinuses will aid me to my full flavor goal. Netipot seems to be helping me a lot too.

I understand your feelings. But to me getting apple instead of orange flavor eliquid is no more frightening than getting good apple juice when I ordered good orange juice at half price. Especially if the remedy is to keep the apple juice and we will deliver your orange juice free. I think VW is a relatively new company. Not knowing in advance how well your business is goin to do, it's impossible to predict the volume of your sales. I think they have done an excellent job in keeping orders goin out the door so quickly, but with that is a learning curve and I can understand some mistakes bein made. I'm glad they are just able to still deliver great juice on time. I'm sure that in the future they will be able to correct most of the errors they have now. That's just my opinion, but when I think about it, I would smile if I received a complete order that was wrong because I know I would get it replaced and receive double juice. :) But that's just wrong:facepalm:

After two weeks of steeping I tried out Tangy Tangerines today. I'm not sure if I like this one. It tastes more like tart candy then the fruit. It's a bold flavor for sure. Not bad but maybe not my kind of vape. I've had a few tart vapes and the throat hit is a little off putting for me.
This goes along with Carnavale Apple's tartness (steeped since 1/31). I Iove granny smith apples but the tart flavoring in the ejuices I've tried so far bothers my throat. Maybe I need to get use to it, who knows. I love the taste of the caramel with the apple so I'll try to get use to it. I think it's blended very well and would recommend it.
Grape Gatsby is another flavor I'm not sure of. The grape is there and something else that's suppose to be cranberry but I'm not getting it's flavor well. I eat dried cranberries all the time so I figured this would be an awesome blend. I'm wondering if fruit ejuices are not my thing but I have to have something other then dessert flavors or my tongue will go blank again on me. Trail and error...
I do not have a liking for Just Peachy or Peachy Keen. I've been searching for a fresh peach flavor and have yet to find one I enjoy. I ordered P&P Persuasion in my second sample pack and will be trying that tonight. Has anyone else found the tart flavors bother them, or am I just a crazy newbie? All are 50/50 blends, 6 nic ejuices.

You could be a crazy newbie, I don't know..:laugh: but I think you'll like the P&P. It's the only peach I have really liked. The pear in it is good too.

I like that one myself, I like the throat hit too but I get 80/20 PG/VG and 18mg for that as well.

I like to vape the Tangy Tangerine to break up the dessert, cake, custard types I'm usually vaping.

The taste reminds me of these Altoids Tangerine Sours,

They got me as a customer for sure broke open the packages 120ml fruit stripe gum, 120ml fruit hoops. I couldn't help myself I loaded up some fruit stripe and instantly knew I found the company that works for me. Amazing spot on FOOB. Fruit hoops smells amazing but will benefit from steeping the most so I'm going to try and hold off on it. 3 freebies, smurf cake, circus bear and banshee? Smurf cake smells good. Circus bear smells to banana? For me. And banshee idk what's in it at all smells interesting. I'll have to look up description. But I am sold. I replaced some buckshot hard candy for fruit stripe so it's for sure not cheap juice!

Thanks for the comments. It's frustrating not being able to taste some of these juices but still better than smoking!

I will give the Netipot a try since I'm stuffed up all the time. Sounds like a good remedy.

Congrats on being smoke free. How long has it been? I have over a month now and it's been pretty easy with vapor.

I'm On A Roll Tonight! :2cool:

On%20A%20Roll_zpskyuvty0x.jpg~original


Got my sample pack and this glorious, gigantic bottle of IOAR a day earlier than expected. Strawberry Mojo and Smurf Cake were the two freebies. I've never had Tiramisu before, real or vapor but I might have to try it tonight! I know I like the song. http://youtu.be/gNQDQoxtGg4

The Atlantis will be working overtime tonight, putting out cinnamon clouds. :vapor:

I quit cigs on 2/8/15. Vaping has turned into a hobbie for me and my bf; we're really enjoying the experience so far. I might try mixing the tangerine with some other fruit flavors to use it up. Or just let it hang out for when my tastes change. You never know [emoji6] Congratz to u too!

You were correct, I do find P&P quite tastey! Put it in the same tank I had the tangerine in and they actually didn't taste bad together. Now I have two non dessert vapes, P&P and Pina Colada whoo hooo! I also purchased strawberry but have yet to try it.
