Man I must have had a bad batch from vape wild,..sweet complexity, buttery nuts, toffee, tiramisu, peanut butter cup, nearly all the flavors I got were straight up horrendous. Apple of my ice was ok and vanilla clouds was halfway decent. ITC stole the show for me on cheap juice.

Yeah, I've read a lot of good reviews about sweet complexity but for me, it tasted like a sweet tennis shoe.

It depends on what specific juices I use. Sweet Complexity is the worst offender, but the Subtank OCC coils go like a champ. These last two (I use two at a time in two tanks), lasted about 3 weeks. I'm not terribly picky about What Goes In Next, I just vape away the old flavor that's still in the cotton until the new one comes along. It doesn't seem to matter what I use, 2 and a half or 3 weeks seems to do it, be it VW juice, or old MBV or ITC. Fortunately, a quick dry burn and a re-wicking lets them go forth for another two weeks...I still have tons of new coils in unopened boxes.

Well I know I can't have them anymore. I've done too much damage, and I'm fine without them. I've even cut my vaping down to 0 nic already, and I feel pretty good. I am going to try my six new flavors though.

Best of luck to you staying off the smokes. Are you going to keep a tank ready to go if it gets rough? I'm going to vape for at least a year, probably more.

Thats awesome. Makes me wish i had a subtank. I have the nautilus mini and the bvc coils last 2 tanks with this juice. I havent attempted sub-ohming yet since I prefer a cooler vape.

Just shows you we're all different with respect to taste; I thought both the Smurf and Strawberry Cheesecake, as well as VW cheesecake were great CC flavs. I am a max VG guy too, but because VG tends to mute flavs a bit and I use mostly tanks - I ordered all my VW with the max vg + shot.

I will say that I thought my first Smurf was an 8.5/10 and the 2nd order didn't taste as good at a 6.5/10. Not sure how they mix there, I'd imagine its computer controlled, but some of the batches of the same flavs tasted different to me. I hope they aren't experiencing growing pains and cutting corners!

Yes, exactly, that's why I'm always careful with how I word my posts in regards to my opinion on things. I don't want to present them as if I'm right and everyone else is wrong I just like to give my opinion in that hopes that it might be helpful to someone looking to try a new flavor.

I really, really wanted to like VW's cheesecake flavors because the pricing is so good but unfortunately they just don't taste like cheesecake to me. I do really enjoy some of their other juices so I will continue to buy from VW although the last order of samplers I got is disappointing. Several overly harsh flavors and one (Razzleberry) which has a very off-putting plastic-y or rubbery taste even after two weeks of steeping.

Hittin the road tomorrow to go work some power plant outages. I just swapped over from Fruit Hoops (not a favorite) to Cinnamon Roll in a GS Air. I didn't change the coil goin by what others do here. I swapped flavors over an hour ago and I still am tastin Fruit. There is no such thing as takin 15 or 20 hits and the flavor swappin over. Some might like this taste but it has ruined this tank of CR to me. I'm vapin Cinnamon Roll thru a fruit flavored wick. I can imagine what concoctions some people come up with testing several flavors with the same coil. "EEWW This Cinammon Roll is weird!" "This don't taste like the first Cinnamon Roll I ordered!" "This stuff is clearly not Cinnamon Roll, they mixed it wrong!" "This Cinnamon Roll tastes more like Fruit Hoops. I'll let it steep!" :laugh:

I actually really like the fruit hoops. Its also a huge coil gunker for me and renders the coil flavorless after 2 tanks so I dont vape it anymore :( . But have the same experience as you. It never leaves the coil!! Sometimes thats ok if it goes well with the following juice so I tend to use a fruity flavor if I decide to switch after vaping the FH.

I received the same sample a few days ago. My thought is that whether I pay it forward, or vape it myself....if it is a great flavor/juice, how would someone be able to order it without knowing what it is?

That's why I usually try new flavors in a dripper that I've rinsed, dry burned and re-wicked. If I want to switch from one flavor I've already tried to another flavor I've already tried and I'm dripping, I'll drip the second flavor without messing with a re-wick. It does lead to some strange combos like last night when I went from Lenola Cream to VW's Swedish Candy. It wasn't bad (or good either) but after a few minutes it was all Swedish Candy.

I always use clean 510 attys to test juice. I use a dedicated tank for each of my ADV's. If I can't, I change the coil out. Sometimes, I will follow a flavor with a similar one but I can still taste it 3 tanks later. I just didn't follow my own advice today and paid for it. :laugh:

I've got to do some more testin before I can be sure, but it seems to me if I blend flavors in a wick like that, even though they are similar, they gunk the coil up quicker.
