I found that their Blueberry Waffle with Whipped cream was really tasty out of the box as is their Strawberry Cream Soda (which is just pure heaven).

I was and still am disappointed in their peach flavor. This is really hyped up...I can smell it in the bottle, and it smells like it's going to be delicious but when I vape it I taste nothing. I can usually at least taste something. I haven't tried it in a few weeks so maybe I will to see if the flavor gets stronger. I also was disappointed in their cappucino flavor. This one seems to do nothing but burn onto my atty and tastes like burnt coffee to me.

Other than those two flavors everything else I have tried has been really good.

i know exactly how you feel, the first few weeks of vaping i tried 2 companies, fsusa and pinkspot. both were really good for me so i didn't understand why everyone was having such problems with other companies. in the last few weeks i have ordered 12 different flavors from 4 other companies, wow what a shock to find that there can be such a dramatic difference from one vendor to another, lol. also, i have only liked 2 of the 12 flavors. i have let the others sit, most have gone from that chemical undertone to very bland, almost no flavor at all. i'm really disappointed and will stick with what i know works for me. maybe try some samples now and again.

btw, would someone tell me what that little zip locked material is that they send out in each order?

i guess it's cart filler?

Oh btw, to CLEAR your atty of unwanted juice... i mean really bad tasting, drip some Arctic Ice... does the trick every time.

Yup...it's cart filler. One of the things I love about Vaporbomb. That is really cool of them to add that touch to their orders.

If you have time to let juice steep for a while VaporBomb is really good. I just don't expect to vape it right away. I order knowing that I won't be vaping it for at least a week so I plan accordingly. I do sample them when I get them though but then just put them away and pull them out each week and try them all again. The ones that have aged then get put into circulation, the ones that need more time go back for another week. This system works for me, but I've always got at least 500ml of various juices on hand anyway so I don't need to vape them as soon as I get them.

Wow, I love their peach! I'm really surprised because I accidently ordered 100% PG - was going to try 100% VG. It's also 30 mg nic. I was randomly trying different ratios of VG/PG and nic on some sample sizes. Maybe that's why? Don't know but it's one of the only fruit flavors i do like. Also excellent with a splash of artic ice.

exception: Fire & Ice and Cinnabomb require no steeping. They are excellent right out of the box.

hey TTW; you are right! same same as we say, about Arctic Ice, and Snickerdoodle, and Cinamon Bun Swirl, and Jamaican Rum....

all those above, in my experience NEED NO STEEPING... they may get a little better, but they are full of flavor right away.

btw, VB"s Snickerdoodle tastes better than KBV's version... (which isn't bad) for sure. The flavor is soo rich rich rich.

Thanks for all the advice. I thought steeping might be the answer. Won't know for awile. Gonna leave them alone for a week or so then sample once per week. Virtually all the V4L stuff I got was really good right out of the bottle...getting better too. Same with the BackWoodsBrew. So apparently, the VP requires a good steep.

iceman - I tied dripping them to...same problems. THe cartos I was filling were new blanks. So, I doubt that is the problem. Checked my taste buds too with the V4L & BWB juices I have filled in cartos...they taste fine. Taste buds are working. It's the VP juices that are off.

This is one reason I got into DIY. If you buy some juice and it is not quite right, you can dilute it down with some unflavored and then boost it back up with a flavor concentrate.

I've saved many juices this way that I would have thrown out if I didn't have DIY supplies.

I ordered from VB and then regretted it almost immediately, fearing I would get another batch of very artificial, perfumy crap like I have received from some other vendors who had similar lineups of flavors. I have to say, however, that I am fairly pleased overall with what I received. Their Snickerdoodle is quite good right out of the mailbox. I don't think they have KBV beat in terms of taste accuracy but I will gladly polish this off. The Peanut Butter Cookie doesn't taste much like a cookie but it does taste like peanut butter and is very vapable. It is quite similar to Mister-E-Liquid's peanut butter cup but without the cocoa flavoring. The Cinnabomb and Fire n Ice are both pretty powerful and tasty. I would say neither is to my tastes but I could totally see many people loving either or both. The Chocolate Mint is also pretty decent.

The Mountain Mist is a pretty big miss for me, tasting more like a lemon air freshener than Mountain Dew, although it is hardly unvapable. I also agree with the Black Cherry (which I also received as a free sample). It isn't very good.

Overall though, I am pretty pleased with VB's quality. They seem to put a lot more care into their juices than some other vendors who appear to use similar flavor bases to make their products.

funny how people's tastes are subjective....
i have yet to taste Mrs T's famous Snickerdoodle, and i haven't eaten enough real snickerdoodles to know, but to me the VB version is richer (more robust) than the KBV; sweeter too.

Oh Black Cherry has got to be the worst,,, but thanks for your reviews; i want to know what else they have that is "good" according to my tastes, and your review of Peanut Butter tips me off as something that at least is not offensive... that's a good sign. lol.

Cinabomb and FIre n Ice are two VB favorites that really deliver... I'm through that phase and have settled on their Arctic Ice for when I need a head-clearer... it also is neutral enough to go with just about anything and it doesn't ruin your atty for another juice.

I'm glad to read from some that steeping may help.
I ordered 8 different flavors, and so far have only tried two, waffle and fire & ice, but hated them both.
They were both 80VG\20PG which may be the issue, I screwed up and thought I ordered the opposite.

The waffle was just chemical tasting and the fire & ice tasted awesome on the draw and inhale, but had a chemical exhale with a slight burnt popcorn thing that stuck with me for almost a full day even after switching to a new cartridge and atty with BWB cola and root beer. (My current favorites.)

I'll be interested to see what a week will do.

To anyone who likes the strawberry waffle from vb, has anybody tried the strawberry waffle from any other vendor that tastes very similar or better.

I am not talking about the dark maple like waffle flavor. I tried tasty vapor and hated it. Not unvapeable, but not the light colored strong flavor from vaporbomb.
