So I bit the bullet and ordered almost two weeks ago. Got a sampler containing: Ol' time taffy, Peanut Butter Cup, Smurf Cake, Blue Lemon Squeezy, Strawberries and Cream, and Vanilla Clouds. Also ordered Zebra Stripe Gum, Mango Tea, Double Dutch Twister, and Luck of the Irish. (Freebies were Caramel Dandy Candy I think it is. And some Mystery flavor)
65/35
6mg, with a couple of 3mg, and 0mg-Zebra Gum

I use an mvp 3 and 2 sometimes, usually on an Evod 2 tank. I drip on one of those old school non-rebuildable attys from time to time. I only tried two FOOB which was Vanilla Clouds and Zebra Stripe Gum.

This is also where one of my issues come in, so the gum was light in flavor and kind of inconsistent in terms of one toot would be decent, the second would be watery and blah. Much better now days later. Might be a repurchase already.

Now, the Vanilla Clouds...um since I heard people say this was good even FOOB I filled up a tank with it, mind you I always sniff and taste a lil bit of my juice and noticed this one had almost no smell and not much flavor when tasted. So in the tank I noticed it was almost flavorless but in a weird way, decided before giving a final judgment I would just wait and so last night (like 12-13 days in) I shook my bottle and tasted it...and the flavor was disgusting. It literally tasted like warm cinnamon water, YUCK! Almost like they forgot my vanilla and anything else. So tomorrow I'm going to give them a call...

If you used a fresh coil then something is wrong there. I'd tell em about it too :)

Guys any tips on this I really want to like it but all 3 of the flavors I've tried so far have had either a dull or a chemical taste to them smurf cake and goblin have been chemical and P&P persuasion was dull any tips? They've been steeping almost 2 months now.

Did you let them breathe at all, Logan? That will usually help cure any chemical/perfume taste, and some fresh air can help develop flavorings too. I normally burp out the old air and shake well every day or two during steeping.

The other factor could be your selected nicotine level. I choose 12mg, and VW's nicotine seems a bit stronger to me than I've had with other vendors. If you've picked a higher nic level, the taste of it may be pronounced. If there's any cure for that, again it would be with breathing and shaking, maybe even warming them up then removing the spouts and letting them sit open-necked for some hours (or even overnight, maybe longer). Then re-cap, shake, wait, burp, shake, wait...hopefully better results after some days. Good luck and hope it works for you.

It's a 50/50 blend and I did in the goblin but not the rest

Manoover is right about the breathin and "burpin" :)The chemical taste will not evaporate as long as they are sealed. I wouldn't recommend the flavor boost in a 50/50 and personally I don't like the flavor nicotine adds to juice. That's one reason I vape 3mg. I'm not fond of VW's nicotine either but I have had worse like the kind that has the pepper taste. Shake and burp :)

Well I'm still trying to completely get off of the nicotine. Is the reason so high, and I guess I just had my hope ups for what I've experienced so far and have been disappointed so far.

Manoover had a point about the nic from VW being stronger than normal. I think so too. You can cut your nicotine and just vape more to get a "fix" if you have to.. Maybe you should try their Turkish tobacco flavor or the Reds. I hope it works out for you.

Well I haven't really used any tobacco flavors

They may be more satisfying if you are still smoking. Also VW has a pretty good variety of "flavored" tobaccos. You might want to consider getting a better flavor producing tank, too. The protanks I have mute the flavors of my juice compared to the GS Airs and my RBA Tanks.

Oh I have a wide variety of tanks lol and am satisfied with most of my flavors from other companies

Well, good. If you can't get these to work, let em know at VW and chances are they will replace them. At least you still have those other companies to buy from.

I haven't let them breathe yet but I am now overnight.

That's the first thing I do within 24 hours after I receive... open em up and let them breathe. I set them open on top of my cable modem and gigabit switch. Both get pretty warm... gets them juice molecules moving.

Has everyone else had good experience with their flavors though? If breathing doesn't work could it have been all of the batches of the flavors I got?

I have gotten all good juices from VW. All very flavorful but several have needed to go thru evaporation of the alcohol based flavorings. I had to let a couple of chocolates and the Dr. Freezil breathe for 3 days. Dr. Freezil is the only not very good flavor I've tried. I got some USA Blend that was a bit harsh and still is. But other than that, all great juice :)

Anybody else want to weigh in on Marshmallow Choco Chunk?

I'm in the mood for something new - and chocolatey. Is it really a coil buster?

Like most darker juices it does seem to be rougher on coils than some other flavors, but it's pretty enjoyable. I mix it with other juices, usually a custard or something light. Chocolate flavor is notoriously difficult to pull off in an e-juice. I've tried a dozen or so chocolate flavor ejuices and none of them taste remotely like chocolate, this included. I'd say it tastes like a tootsie roll style chocolate. I've found the tootsie roll style "chocolate" flavor is easy to pull off, presumably because there's likely not a single bit of natural chocolate in a tootsie roll so they can probably just port over the artificial flavor and have it taste pretty much the same. That said, it's a damn good "chocolate"... for ejuice.

On another note I checked back to see how long the Sweet Complexity had been steeping and it's been over two months. So I filled up a tank and am vaping it right now. It's very good, tastes exactly like banana bread, the bread itself, the bananas, a touch of cinammon and vanilla, and even some walnuts. Out of the box I thought the bready scent/taste was not my cup of tea, but after steeping for two months and coming back to it, I think the reviews praising it are justified.

I think you've just sold these two to me, I thought they would be very cheese cakey but your description with a nice strong crust taste makes them sound amazing. Hmm I have Razzleberry which is really good - I'm thinking Razzleberry + Cheesecake would be a great mix...

*starts writing new order list*

I'd like to try some menthols as well as I do enjoy minty flavours, nothing too strong though. Anyone have some good recommendations? Apple of my Ice seems to get mentioned a lot, any others?

I just tried Apple of my Ice. I was hesitant because I haven't really been into menthol since I quit smoking it 18 months ago but all the reviews were enticing me. I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered max vg 0 nic. I've only just sampled it in the rda as it's not quite met its 2 week steep period but so far I like it!
