All my orders have made it to me here in California in the predicted amount of time. Weird.

Yeah sometimes I even get them before 3 days with Priority Mail. I think the longest I ever waited was 4 days. Strange.

I'm tellin ya, it's the Texas Triangle! Look on a map. I'm just thankful it didn't get lost permanently :laugh:

After enjoying several flavours from my first order I decided to pick up another three sample packs. No duplicates yet, still trying flavours so I can put together a list of favourites. My favourites so far are Freckled Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade, Razzleberry, Strawberries and Cream. I would probably also re order Pearadise, Fruit Bomb, Blue Lemon Squeezy and Pralines and Cream.

My new order is
Vape Wild eJuice Sample Pack (60 ml)
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 65% / PG 35% [ Higher VG ], Flavor #1: Smurf Cake, Flavor #2: Raspberry Cheesecake, Flavor #3: Strawberry Cheesecake, Flavor #4: Banchee, Flavor #5: Vanilla Clouds, Flavor #6: Apple of My Ice, Flavor Boost (applies to all 6 flavors): No)
Vape Wild eJuice Sample Pack (60 ml)
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 65% / PG 35% [ Higher VG ], Flavor #1: Sweet Complexity, Flavor #2: Cinnamon Roll, Flavor #3: Dutch Apple Pie, Flavor #4: Fruity Freeze, Flavor #5: Stars & Stripes, Flavor #6: Blueberries, Flavor Boost (applies to all 6 flavors): No)
Vape Wild eJuice Sample Pack (60 ml)
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 65% / PG 35% [ Higher VG ], Flavor #1: Spearmint, Flavor #2: Top of the Morning, Flavor #3: Double Dutch Twister, Flavor #4: Magma Currant, Flavor #5: Dragon juice, Flavor #6: Strawberry Mojo, Flavor Boost (applies to all 6 flavors): No)

Thought I'd try the 35/65 ratio this time, see if I get a bit more flavour with more pg. Excited to try the mystery flavour as well. Next order will probably be bigger bottles of my favourites - I love that they offer so many different bottle sizes. Wish VW would do a rhubarb juice if they did they would probably be my sole juice supplier.

Sorry for such a long post.

P.s. should we start a VW frankenjuice thread, I'd be interested to see everyone favourite blends.

Ok so after some quality time with my sample pack order, here are my opinions so far:

Circus Bear - this is in my tank now. Tastes like Runts candies to me. Like if you put the banana and strawberry candy together in your mouth, that's what this tastes like. It's not bad. I must say that after my Swedish Candy order from Vape Wild as well, I'm tending to not like candy vapes as much as beverage or dessert type vapes.

Toffee Coffee - Tastes more like just straight toffee. I'm not tasting the coffee so much. I've had worse...just wish it were more balanced.

Jamaican Me Crazy - This doesn't taste bad...enjoyable even. But to me, it does not taste like coconut rum! It's more like some sort of generic light fruit flavor...like in a Capri Sun or Juicy Fruit gum. Then it's all wrapped up in a sort of floral or perfumey flavor. I've never had a rum-flavored e-liquid before, but regardless, I don't think this tastes like rum. I have had coconut flavored e-juices from other vendors though, and this is just way off base from their coconut. It's just not even close to me. But like I said, the end result is not bad tasting...just not accurate.

Tiramisu - Of all the flavors in the sample pack, this one really stood out! I mean it's great! Tastes just like the real thing, flavors are nice a balanced. Little bit of coffee, little bit of spice, nice cake flavor. This may be my favorite flavor from Vape Wild that I've had! :)

Strawberries & Cream - Not bad. Nice strawberry flavor that isn't too tart or too sweet. It approximates strawberry ice cream ok. Not spot on...but close enough. I do feel that the nicotine detracts from this flavor though. I only got 6mg, and the peppery flavor is detracting a bit on this one. I mean it's there on all of them (I find VW's nicotine to be pretty strong), but it's quite noticeable on this one.

Strawberry Cheesecake - This tastes a lot like Smurf Cake to me; except it's is not quite as good. I dunno, maybe it needs more steep time for the strawberry to come out? I've had it for 3 weeks already though....

Like I mentioned earlier, the nicotine that VW uses tends to be on the strong side I feel. All flavors were 6 mg, 50/50, with a flavor boost. The only flavor that really didn't have that nicotine bite was Jamaican Me Crazy. I did see VW's email about them switching over to a VG-based nicotine. My order was placed before this, so I'm curious to see how (or if) that effects their flavors somehow.

Having order from other premium e-juice makers, I do not feel that VW's juices are quite on the premium level (from what I've tried). But they are much, much better than other budget e-liquids.

Thanks for your juice review, MsShona. Tiramisu is my favorite. I was so glad to get my order in today. As far as premium juices go, I have to say Tiramisu is a premium juice. A very well mixed complex full flavored vape that satisfies me fresh as well as steeped, if you can call 2 weeks steeping. :) That's as long as I've been able to keep a 30ml bottle. I'd really like to see what it's like after a month or two. I have been vaping some Nicoticket Wakonda for a few days and it too is a smooth delicious full bodied vape. A premium juice for sure but no more so than VW Tiramisu. I'm with you on the VW nic. It's not that the nicotine content is stronger, it's the strong flavor that is the problem and I'm glad to see them changing that.

Just to chime in, I'm going to vote Nay. Their support, prices, and shipping were are good, but the juice is just not for me.

I've only tried about half of my samples, but I haven't liked one even a little yet. I have a feeling some of the sweeter or more candy-like flavors might be better from them, much like Mount Baker. But I think I would just stick with them if I was looking for something like that. To me, it just tastes a bit cheap. Just my two cents. But they get props for the other things.

Hey, you gave it a chance at least. Hope you find something that hits all the right notes!

Yep in general I agree. Tiramisu is very good; on par with premium liquids. But on average, I just think that VW's flavors are perhaps a bit above average....but not in the premium range. ;)

Is it possible that larger bottles need more time to steep? Last month I fell in love with two of my samples, I'm on a Roll and Freckled Lemonade. I re-ordered them in the biggest bottles I personally have ever bought, 60 ml of each. They've already had 5 days more steep time than their 10 ml predecessors but they just don't taste right. I'm beyond bummed. They're harsh and they make my throat feel dry and scratchy. IOAR more so than the Freckled Lemonade. I didn't get that at all with the previous bottles. Same blends were ordered, 3 mg nicotine 65/35 vg/pg.

Yeah they do, my 240ml bottles are still sitting. Don't forget to shake them. To be honest the only time I've felt that anything from VW was too harsh it was usually a sign that it was time to step down in nic. So far, so good. Doing some 3mg, some 1.5mg and some 0 nic juices lately and feeling alright.

Also, Strawberries & Cream is far and away my favorite VW juice and I'm very interested in this 'reformulation' they're doing, especially with the VG nic...not that I buy anything over 3mg.

It's weird, there are a few VW juices that I can vape literally all day if my batteries lasted that long. I bought some Five Pawns Grandmaster and some SB Mother's Milk and I can't stand either one. I'm like a vaping bum, or something. But seriously that FP Grandmaster, I can't taste anything that they say is in it, it just tastes like a mouthful of bad rum.

I guess Vape Wild just works for me. It really proved to me that Taste is Subjective.

I have been vaping Vape Wild e-juice for about 8 months in my rotation and have found several to be my favorites.

Peanut Butter Bananza, Tiramisu, Jamaican Me Crazy, Dutch Apple Pie, Chocolate Snockers, Maple Pecan, Raspberry Cheesecake, Candy Cane, and Nuttin' Better.
When they release the Mystery Juice I will also get that one. I think it might be Ginger something.

I am on my 9ty or 10th order and never a problem. I am not opposed to changes as long as the result is favorable.

Everyone's taste is different but this is what works for me and I will stick with it.

I received my first order last night.

So far they have gotten the smell test and a good shaking, but I haven't tried any yet. (I can't wait to though!)

On the smell test alone I can say these juices smell better fresh than the other "budget" juices I have tried. No weird chemical smell at all. Some do smell a tad sharp/raw so those will be the ones I let age a bit.

The smell of Fruit Hoops is spot on, really looking forward to trying that one!

Will let you all know what I think when I finally taste them, but initial impressions are positive so far. :)

I actually just tried 3 more bottles/flavors from the same order and they're all harsh. The 3mg nicotine isn't affecting me like that from any other orders. I even cleaned my tank and changed the head. Twice. ....

Well, you got me. It's like the Crimmy's thread. Some people complain about harsh nic, and others don't. I wonder if it's a person-by-person thing.
