Northern NJ native , Coastal NC now.
If owned a B&M shop, I would not turn away free stock. You could sell it if you wanted, give a bottle to the first 100 people to come in to the store for an event, free 30 ml with every purchase, etc...

The shop makes out either way as do VW.

I think they do some smart things to help their business. They are in business to make money. Giving away free liquid helps bring customers which make up for the freebies.

Se people love their juice, aome hate it, some like me are somewhere in the middle of that. The more people that try it, the better chances of repeat customers, pretty simple.

What boggles my mind and has from the beginning is why don't more vendors offer free samples to people for anyone that requests it , the overwhelming majority charge even for samples.

One company does offer free samples to anyone who wants one and they have tripled their customer base in a very short time . A vendor will never reach their potential for a customer base by charging for samples as they would giving them away .

These days with the competition , the vendor who gives away the most juice will usually end up with the most repeat customers . And giving away to vendors IS NOT as effective as giving direct to a customer who requests it.

I hope VW realizes this and tries that avenue , and no, i do not vape vendors commercial juices and haven't in a very long time so this isn't my request.

I run a small business. I try to make my product affordable for the average person but at the same time if I go too low there's no money left for me.

Perhaps handing out freebies Willy nilly is what VW would like to do but the reality of their budget prevents them from doing so.

I'm confused. VW gives away free juice to customers all the time. At least 30mls worth, in every order. It's not just being nice, it's good business. From personal expirience, I can tell you, I have made orders based on those samples. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Giving away these bottles to vendors, is the same thing, only on a much larger scale.VW has been looking to become a more widely known wholesaler, for a while now. What better way to get their foot in the door, then to give these vendors a risk free opportinity. Whether these vendors sale or give the bottles away themselves, the vendors will see first hand, the costumer reaction to these juices. Based on the popularity of the online sales, I have no doubt vendors will make reorders to sell in their shops. I only hope they pass the savings on to us, and not charge the same price as the "premium" brands they carry.

Yep, my first order from VW was 6 samples, 2 freebies, 1 Mystery Flavor for $21 shipped. so I got 90 ml of liquid for $21 seems pretty fair to me. The mystery flavor, and one of the freebies were actually the best of the bunch to me, lol.

I would love to see VW juices at my local shop personally. While it is not my favorite, I do like some of the juice. My B&M store lets you sample basically any liquid they sell, which would be very nice to try out some other flavors from VW without ordering random lists of samples, waiting for delivery and waiting for them to steep. If they sold VW juice around the same price, I would buy ones I liked from them. I found some juices I absolutely love locally and paid the exact same price I would have if I went online to order, and the nice thing is, most of them have been in store for a bit, so they are good to go without additional steeping.

From my personal experience, I have enjoyed the free 10ml samples that VW throws in the box. And I have reordered a couple of those in larger bottles. So, I would say that is a good business strategy for them. They have a ton of flavors and it is hard to try them all.

I have also requested specific samples, or mentioned that I was interested in something, in the comment box. They have been kind enough to send the samples that I request most of the time.

All in all.... It adds up to a regular monthly order from me. (twice in November) So they have my business for sure.

A few quick reviews.

Razzleberry - One of those juices that falls in the harsh category. I don't care for it. Heavy on the raspberry. It is tasty, but I don't care for raspberry flavoring. If you like raspberry flavoring, give it a shot.

Carnaval Apple - At first I wasn't sure I really liked it. More I vape it, the more I'm really enjoying it. It's a great combo of caramel and green apple. Almost perfect balance. I will be reordering this one and do recommend to at least try it.

Peach Tea - Well I've come to realize that I just really enjoy their peach flavoring. I really liked P&P Persuasion and really enjoy this one also. This one is much mellower than P&P. I was expecting it to be like a peach ice tea flavor, but it's actually kind of like what plain old tea would be like if it was peach flavored. I know it sounds weird but it's really good stuff. I like a mellower flavor so this one is a big hit for me. Will probably be replacing P&P in my rotation.

These are all 50 VG and 6MG nic.

  • Sweet Complexity - I purchased it pre-steeped when they were running the special, an extra $1 to get a glass bottle and dropper and already steeped swayed me. Initially I was not a fan, while I fully knew banana was part of it, I felt it was overwhelming and was more like a banana runt taste. It, or my tastes, have mellowed on the banana, but its still fairly dominant in my set up. Its a good vape for change of pace but not an ADV for me as I feel the banana is overpowering.
  • S+C2 - Pre-steeped again, I fell in love with Mothers Milk so was/am trying to find the budget replacement. This isnt it but its still a good flavor. I prefer it in my Kanger setup compared to running it in my Crown tank.
  • Fruit Hoops - Yet another Pre-steeped purchase. I had high hopes for this but cant seem to get past the lemon taste. Thats all I seem to be able to get when I vape it. I was running it in my Kanger mini set up and also had to change the coils as that was all I could taste after switching out. I am going to revisit it but so far am struggling with this one.
  • Smurf Cake - This was the flavor that landed me on Vape Wilds page to begin with. I saw people raving about it, in my opinion, rightfully so. I purchased 60ml on my first order thinking I would be able to hold out but my will power was weak. Ordered it pre-steeped to try while the others aged. This is my current preferred Vape Wild flavor (although I still have plenty I need to try and think may overtake this), I dont get huge hints of blueberry but I still enjoy it. I am hoping baebae may be what I am looking for in this profile.
  • Batter Bombshell - this was their October mystery flavor. Once again I think this is my palette but all of these flavors that I would consider "complex" I end up just getting overtones of one dominant flavor with little to no hints of others. For me in BB that flavor is once again lemon. It isnt as strong as in Fruit Hoops but its the dominant flavor. I say that while also expecting that based off the description. Not upset in the slightest especially considering it was a freebie. Once again, a decent vape, by no stretch is it unvapeable but it wont be an ADV for me either.
Now for the flavors I have ordered but havent tried, not counting freebies which is obviously extremely appreciated.
  • Orange Dream - I am a sucker for orange things
  • King Cake - ordered based off of reviews and it sounded interesting
  • Bae Bae Cakes - have high hopes on this one being as the description and reviews saying a rendition of Smurf Cake but with more berry
  • Wrecking Ball - i am a sucker for a good banana pudding
  • Cinnamon Toast Cereal - favorite cereal growing up and even now so had to give it a whirl
  • Circus Bear - anxiously awaiting for this one to steep as well. hopeful that the banana wont be over powering similar to sweet complexity
  • Tiramisu - another I ordered based off of all of the reviews I was reading on various forums
Realistically, I look back now and see that I ordered to heavy on banana type flavors. I am optimistic that I will warm up to them as they continue to age. Overall, I am happy with Vape Wild so far. Price is great. Customer service has been top notch. Shipping is free over $30. I am just hopeful that I will be able to find a solid 4-6 flavors that I can rotate around with as to not wear myself out on any one flavor.

Going to close the circle on my initial post. And obviously taste is subjective but below are my thoughts. Also, I have/had ordered everything in 6mg nicotine. Its great on my Subox but on my EVIC Mini with Crown the throat hit is almost unbearable. That skews my thoughts on the juices but I still wanted to provide an update. Basically, I think considering I get so much more vape from the uwell crown its causing the harshness. I actually have started ordering in 3mg because I personally feel the flavor is better on the crown. Hoping that that solves my issues. As for my thoughts, and I have added a few as I have ordered more juice.

  • Sweet Complexity - So its an ADV for me only in my crown setup. Its name is spot on because its definitely sweet. I could see how some may not like it but I am a big fan. Actually the only juice I have reordered while I try others. It is one that doesnt have the throat hit for me like all of the others.
  • S+C2 - Yeah I just think it isnt for me regardless of set up. I thought I would love strawberry and cream flavors but have tried multiple vendors and cant seem to get over the artificial strawberry flavor.
  • Fruit Hoops - I still cant get onboard with this one but think it is more me than the actually juice. Yet another juice which I thought I would love but I have tried multiple vendors cereal flavors and just cant get on board.
  • Smurf Cake - Nothing to prove this but I almost wonder if my pre-steeped where I said I couldnt taste blueberry was mixed wrong. I tried one of the 30ml bottles I bought after I steemed through the pre-steeped bottle and taste berries now but its extremely harsh (see note above about thinking it may be the nicotine).
  • Batter Bombshell - Havent touched it since my initial review
  • Orange Dream - Only tried once and for probably only 15 minutes. I am going to try again but didnt hit the spot on my first attempt.
  • King Cakes - Use it as a change of pace juice. I find myself not being a huge fan of juice with cinnamon in it but this one is more vapeable for me considering the cake somewhat balances it out
  • Bae Bae Cakes - Same can be said for it as Smurf Cake. Finding it extremely harsh to the point I dont want to vape it
  • Wrecking Ball - Cant do it. Same can be said for almost all of the juices I have tried where banana is the dominant flavor
  • Cinnamon Toast Cereal - Not a huge fan but its vapeable. Not a go to but not throwing it away either
  • Circus Bear - I keep wanting to like it. I keep trying it. I keep vaping it but not loving it. Once again not throwing it away but not reordering either.
  • Tiramisu - I like it but I cant vape it too long without getting burnt out. Its a rich flavor.
  • Peach Guava (NEW) - I think someone else mentioned it but all of the fruit flavors seem more harsh and this isnt an exception. Vape it in my subox setup. I like it but dont love it and most likely wont reorder.
  • Pinkle Twinkle (NEW) - Another that I have been forced to use in my subox set up as its too harsh in my crown. At first I loved it, then it was too harsh. Im not giving up on it but going to let it steep awhile longer.
  • Flavors Steeping - Strawberry cheesecake, Raspberry Cheesecake, Green Apple Envy, Kiwi Berry, On Cloud Custard, Blackberries
I wanted to love Vape Wild because everything about them seems great. Great customer service, great shipping, great selections, etc. For me, while there may be some flavors I keep in the rotation such as Sweet Complexity, I dont think I am going to necessarily find multiple ADV like I initially hoped. Dont get me wrong same can be said about Mech Sauce. Lots of people love them and I can see why but I have started looking elsewhere placing orders with B-X Vapor and 63 Maui during Black Friday sales. As mentioned I could be to blame for the harshness with my nicotine selection but at the same time I dont want to reorder everything just to test out my theory. My current plan is as I need Sweet Complexity to try a 10ml of a flavor or two at 3mg just to see if that suits me better.

Good thoughts. I think you will find the 3mg much more bearable, I know I do. Bae bae cakes for example I take huge hits on sub ohm and its a smooth throat hit. I only tootle puff 6 as it is too harsh for sub ohm. The fruit flavors still have a hearty throat hit in 3mg as well.

Good to know. I wrote this in another thread but will here as well. I understand they are mixing everything to order but the one flavor I have tried twice in steeped and un-steeped has been Smurf Cake. The pre-steeped had almost no berry to it. I was disappointed but it was still very vapeable. The two 30ml I got of un-steeped, I let sit for 5 weeks, and the berry is definitely there with it but I am put off by the throat hit. As mentioned this could be due to switching my setup around. At this point I am cautiously optimistic.

Does anyone have any experience with "ZEBRA STRIPE GUM"? Does it ever stop tasting like straight lime?

I was wondering if it was just me when it came to Zebra Stripe Gum. I was thinking it just had a strong lemon flavor...but maybe lime is more on the mark. I kept wanting to taste zebra stripe gum but instead kept tasting "Lemon Pledge". I'm going to let mine steep for another few weeks (after the first three) to see if that helps.

Yeah, me too. I hope it gets better I'd like to taste all the flavors.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here that posted about Vape Wild. I just placed my first order for two sampler packs to get me started. I love how forums have a way of helping people spend money. I'll head over to the intro area and throw something up, but since this was the thread that brought me to this place I thought I'd thank all the contributers. More to follow.

I still don't understand why this thread was closed Vape Wild. Yay or Nay?

Quote from the final post :
"this forum is for the discussion of eliquids, not to turn threads into a fan club for specific companies. Once we get the social groups whipped into shape, feel free to request one for the company.

But as this thread has long departed from the discussion of eliquid and is more a social thread for the company, it is now closed."

I read that entire thread and did not think there was a fan club. As much people bashing it as praising it. Meh idk....

ETA : Also I did not notice it going very off topic at all. Not as much as some other threads I've seen anyway. Not that I've got anything against threads going off topic, just saying it adds to the confusion I have as to why the thread was closed...

Hehe I only quoted you because you said this thread is a good resource (which it is) so I linkied you to the other thread which is another great resource. It's the thread I read before I ordered.

Nice choices! Tiramisu and Pearadise are a couple of my ADV's.
