Vape Wild. Yay or Nay?

[b.m.]

You make it sound good BM, I like that the airflow works good, thanks

Yeah,airflow is very good on those.That was the one thing that kept me from getting one for a long while,because when i see the name kanger,the first thing that comes to mind is my protank 2's,those are great little tanks,but after using my orchids for so long the draw on the protanks is way too tight for me now,and i expected the subtank to be similar,but you can open these things up wide open and get crazy air flow,i like an airy draw and i dont need it all the way open,i have it at 2 holes open,and it's perfect for me.

Re: SC @ 30W in ST Nano 1.2ohm OCC coil -
It makes a rich warm hit that's full of good flavor, but after a couple of those I gotta set it down for 10-15 minutes. I get definite over-nic flags with my 12mg liquid if I just sit there huffing away at it.

Good to know,i'm at 18mg so i'd be on the floor haha,but yeah,i was out of sc,but got a sample bottle in my last order,so i'll be giving it a whirl in the subtank as soon as i finish the juice that's in it now.

My 12 samples and 2 freebies are 3 weeks old today, so I've been sampling them in an rda. Dry burn and new wick for each.
Gotta say, I'm not real impressed with any of them so far.

Tiramisu, Vanilla Cloud, Nuttin Better, Yumberry, Vanilla Butternut, and Gimme Toffee are either MEH, too sweet, or just not tasty to me. They are in the pif file.

Dragon juice, Buttery Nuts, Smurf cake, Creme Liqueur, OCC, Cinnamon Roll, Sweet Complexity, andSo Berry Good are returning to the steep box for another 2 weeks. I hope they improve.

None of the 14 impressed me much, as I was hoping to add some variety to my DIY Butter Pecan/Vanilla Butternut adv. I must have seriously degraded my taste buds over the years, but I find 99.99% of premade e-juice either tastes lousy, or tastes like nothing. I went through a nearly identical experiment recently with ITC juices.

Too bad, most of us love many of their flavors and we also love the incredible value.

I placed a small order for 8 flavors, Im hoping they live up to the hype.

I ordered some stuff a while back. Just started vaping on them this week. Still smoking a few analogs here and there. So my taste buds might still be a little messed up.
Started with the Smurf Cake. Not much Smurf, kind of bummed out. A little bland.
The Custard is good. But I think the nicotine is a little to high on this one. I ordered it in 12. A bit too much for my lungs I guess. The creamyness is there. Also kind of bland-ish.
Got some Sweet Complexity going now. I'm really digging this one. Not sure what I'm tasting but I like it. A bit nutty with some sweet? I like it. It's mixed with the Custard right now. As I had band practice and wanted to make sure I had some higher nic to not be tempted to light up. I cant wait to vape the tank to refill with just Sweet Complexity.
Still have Tiramisu and some samples left to try.
These have been sitting in a box for a couple months.
How is the peanut butter or PB Bananza? I'll sift through the thread. Never had a PB vape. I like PB. I like creamy vapes. I like some banana in a vape, but I don't want it as the dominant. I had some purple pie man from Fuzion and it was too much banana.

Banana is dominant in my PBB so far after 1 1/2 weeks. But goooood stuff. Tiramisu is my favorite and Peanut Butter cup. Don't now how you could wait 2 months

VW juice is some of the most flavorful juice I've vaped. I've done a lot of diy and know what a flavorful juice is. I think something is wrong like vapor's tongue or your equipment or it could possibly be psychosomatic since you seem already negative to other people's juices. Either that or you are one helluva juice maker and should be sellin your stuff if it is that much greater than Vape Wild!!!! If you can make something a lot better than TIRAMISU, I WANT IT, I"LL PAY WELL !!!!!!

Yup. it must be me. I have 3 kayfuns, a Rose v2, A russian V2.0, protanks, 2 drippers and a host of t3s,evod,aeros. Tried lots (LOTS!) of juice. Over 200 from many different vendors. Maybe I'm brain damaged.

No, probably not brain damaged. We all like different things, and once you learn to mix for your own taste I can see where it'd be hard to find things to measure up. Hopefully the steeping helps for the "almost" flavors.

Out of curiosity, did you add a flavor boost? I haven't done any of that yet, and have so far only found one WV that was too lightly flavored for my taste (Birthday Cake). I have read quite a few negative experiences with VW flavor boosted tryouts (though usually those are accompanied by insufficient steeping, which wouldn't apply to your case).

P.S. Still looking forward to Darryl's report on how boosting and mix differences affect the taste of his favorites!

P.P.S. I almost forgot my recent "It's So Fluffy" freebie. Not much flavor there either, just lightly sweet.

 

[graybeard]

Yes, I got a flavor boost for all of it. 65/35 VG/PG 12mg nic. I figured if it was a little strong I could cut it with more PG/VG. That is still an option for the ones I still have hope for. I usually mix my DIY at 50/50 12 mg with 20% or a little less flavoring. I found a nice mix of Spearmint, Wintergreen, a few drops of menthol and a few drops of sweetener makes a tasty part time vape and solves the vapor's tongue issues very well.

Brain damaged.......Nah. There has to be a reasonable explanation. What, I don't know. You cant please every single person, but I found out you can make all of em mad pretty quick.

50/50, 12mg, 20%flavor. Exactly my standard diy. I also mix a Tobacco Menthol (TFA) for cleanin my taste buds. Hope your juice gets better for ya.

 

[graybeard]

Interesting. After a few months off of cigarettes I lost my taste for tobacco flavors. Did DK tab ,555, and a bunch of others for a while. Mixed some menthol in once in a while. I smoked for 40 years and never really cared about "flavor". Just wanted the nic fix. It may be time to go flavorless and stop chasing flavors.

I still like a good rich tobacco like VW Turkish and Ry4s, 555 types. I have thought about flavorless. I was down to just a Tobacco Menthol and a Pb &banana until I came across this thread. Now Im hooked. Im a junky the stuff is too cheap and good

That's interesting. Here's some good info from the vendor's FAQ:

On the technical side of things, our flavoring equals 15% of the total volume. By adding 50% more flavoring (a flavor boost), you will increase the total volume of flavoring by 7.5%, from 15% up to 22.5% of the total volume.

My thought is that more flavor + higher VG requires more steep time, and that just maybe 22.5% is not as good as 15% concentration for the VW flavorings. Maybe, adding some PG (and nic to balance?) would be worthwhile for all your selections, especially those that SHOULD be in your flavor zone (and if added steeping doesn't improve the iffy ones).

 

[graybeard]

I agree with your thinking. In a couple weeks I will revisit them all and tinker with the pg/vg. I WANT to like these!

What hype? In case you don't know, that is a direct insult to every person that has posted how good they think this juice is. The definition of hype is a deception, a put on. Nobody here is tryin to deceive you by promoting VW juice as bein something greater than it is to them. I'm not personally offended by your choice of words but then again, I'm hard to offend anyway. I hope your juice lives up to our "hype".

I would suggest maybe runnin it on your calculator and convertin it to a 50/50 with possibly 18% flavor. Shouldn't be too hard. When mixin my own I've found that a little too much flavoring can mute flavors. I have tried flavor boosts with VW in 2 juices and I like it better without the boost plus I like the 50/50 mix better than 65 vg or max. Good flavor and cloud at 50/50 no boost for me.

Bad choice of words on my part and didnt mean it to come off that way and by hype I meant all the positives on this site as well as Youtube and the sites popularity.I meant it in a good way. I apologize to you and anyone else here that was offended by the way I wrote it.

No need to apologize but that is a nice gesture. I know you didn't mean it in a bad way. There are some folks that do come off kinda ugly but they are generally overlooked and have found the juice to be as good as they read it was. Not sayin you will but let's hope so. Either way feel free to express your thoughts as you want. If you don't like it say so. If I say something that might be offensive, I add a smiley face but sometimes that don't work.
