I bought a few new flavors while re-ordering Tiramisu and Vanilla Clouds. Most are still steeping, but I thought I'd try out a couple of the simpler ones.

THE KIT: VaporShark rDNA30 @ 11.7W, Smoktech ADC II BDC tanks with 2.5 ohm factory coils
THE MIX: 50/50 12mg, steeped 16 days with regular burping and shaking

THE TASTING

Pearadise - I bought this in 30ml size. This is strongly-flavored pear, sharp, fresh and sweet. I wouldn't call it natural, but it's not exactly candy-like either. I find it very enjoyable all by itself, and I'm already planning to mix it with some Vanilla Clouds to check its dessert potential.

It's So Fluffy - This came as a freebie. It smells of cotton candy in the bottle and in the room, but the taste is merely ambiguous sweetness, though not as overpoweringly sugary as I expected. It's not hard to handle, but it sort of lacks character for me.

The throat-hit for both of these was pleasantly mild.

Steeping another week before tryout:
30ml - Banchee, Circus Bear, Havana Bourbon Tobacco, Peanut Butter Cup, and Smurfcake
10ml - Bavarian Cream, Blubacco, Butterscotch Tobacco, Cha-Cha-Chai, Double Dutch Twister, Peachy Keen, and freebie Sweet & Creamy

P.S. My VIF freebie was Fruit Hoops in 3mg nicotine strength. I already know I like this flavor, and it may come in handy when my Subtank Nano gear shows up in a few days. If I decide to try out the 0.5 ohm coil, I expect I'll need something less than my 12mg-strength stock. I bought a few packs of 1.2-ohm replacement coils since I don't expect to stick with sub-ohm vaping.

You have to try circus bear and smurf cake soon,i think's a crime to not try those asap haha.I think you will like that subtank.I got the mini,and i love that thing.I haven't tried the .5ohm coil in it,but i run most of my tanks between .5-.9ohms,so when i got the subtank i decided to try it at 1.2 and it is a really nice vape with that coil in there.I bought 1 pack of spare coils,as i will reuse the heads and rebuild them,but i think i'll keep them built around the 1.2ohm or so,as it vapes great like that.

First try of smurf cake. Good. Dripping 50/50 6mg. Does flavor shot bring more blueberry?

Just ordered with flavor shot. First juice out of a lot I tried that I said WOW. Good stuff

For me Smurf tasted much much better after a week to two week steep. YMMV.

So you tried Smurf then ordered more immediately but with the shot?

Vapewild continues to amaze, I placed an order Friday late pm and my order was prepared today (Sunday)
How many other companies work on Sunday's?

Same with me ordered late friday night/saturday morning and then today I got a notification that it's ready to be shipped. Can't beat service like that!

Is it me or does smurf cake and banchee kind of taste similar? Maybe it mixed a little in my tank but I swear they taste the same lol.
I think it got mixed in your tank. Always clean tank when swapping eliqs.

Smurf has no banana flav, just delicious blueberry cheesecake!

Banchee is a banana cheesecake.

How long did you steep after receiving your juice? 2 weeks is suggested for most flavors.

Neither Smurf Cake nor Banchee had any cheesecake or fruit flavor for me. I actually received both as a sample twice and both bottles have been the same. I also had a co-worker order Smurf Cake and I gave that one a sample as well and still no blueberry or cheesecake. More power to those of you who love it I just don't personally find that any of the described flavors come through in the juice. It's a sweet, baked crust flavor and that's about it. Pass.

For those of you who have tried their mixed drink flavors, do any of them actually taste like alcohol? How about Sweet Complexity? Can you really taste the rum flavor?

Pina Colada is one that I vape every day. I do not taste the rum. All I taste is coconut and pineapple. But then again I can't pick out flavors in juices like other people can.

Yep, I have two Smurf Cake samples, one is 4+ weeks old and one is 3 weeks old, both taste the same now, like something sweet might be in it and maybe rarely a baked taste. I haven't ever smelled or tasted blueberry :(

I feel like I'm the only one who is having issues with the quality of VW. So far many of the ones I tried in a tank are coil busters for me. I have not had a chance to vape all of them beyond a drip taste test so I dont have an accurate list of ALL the coil busters. The ones that I have had a chance to vape in a tank either burn out the Nautilus mini bvc coil to the point of a horrible burnt flavor (I'm on a roll, cinnamon roll) or make the coil completely flavor-less (like the OCC, smurf cake, Cha-Cha-Chai, Tofee Dream Cream, fruit hoops) after 2 tanks. 2 tanks is 4 mLs worth of juice.

I'm so disappointed. For the money I am saving on this e-liquid, I'm spending it on replacement coils. I know most will say that I should learn how to re-build. While that may help with the cost of the coils, its not a solution to the quality of juice or the reason for why this is happening.

I REALLY liked the Fruit Hoops. It was probably the one I liked best from all the samples I got. I'm saddened that I cant afford to vape it anymore because I'll have to go through about 3 coils just to vape a 10mL sample bottle. I wasnt completely satisfied with the liquid from my first order, but decided to get a second order of samples for 1 last shot. I dont think I'll be risking any more purchases from them in the future.

I REALLY liked the Fruit Hoops. It was probably the one I liked best from all the samples I got. I'm saddened that I cant afford to vape it anymore because I'll have to go through 5 coils just to vape a 10mL sample bottle. I wasnt completely satisfied with the liquid from my first order, but decided to get a second order of samples for 1 last shot.

What's your set up and what watts or voltage are you vaping at?

When I use an istick 20 its at around 6.5-7.0 watts since its set to Mean which means its actually firing higher. When I use my eVic I have it set to 8.0 - 8.8 watts depending on the juice.
