I have ordered from several vendors, and I have the experience that VR's juices have to steep much longer than others' for the flavors to come forward. I have been told to expect to wait 1-2 weeks for non-dairy flavors and 3-4 weeks for those with a dairy component. I haven't loved every juice I've gotten from them, but the ones I like, I like a whole lot more than the juices from other places I liked. If you still don't like your juice after a month-- head on over to the Pay It Forward group and trade!! Great and honest review, btw.

Thanks for the advice on "steeping"! I have honestly never had to do that with any of the juices I've ordered from any company, but will definately let my VR bourbon bottles sit for a good long time, before trying again. Maybe there's hope:) Hey, BTW, if anybody has a good suggestion for a realistic Bourbon or Whiskey flavored juice(without having to dump actual alcohol into my carto), please PM me with your suggestions...I'm totally desperate:)

Didn't think of this before... but I have never tasted anything good from any company that was 100% VG, double shot flavoring.

I prefer VG... but some flavors don't work as well with it... and when you double the flavor, it doesn't work.

Perhaps someone else who understand this better can elaborate...

I'm almost considering mixing the 555 with some of the Raspberry I got from Strictly E-Juice and see what that turns out like.

Mix the 555? Blasphemy, Blasphemy I tell you! Give it a good two weeks, and if you don't want it then, well, can't let it go to waste, right? I mean, you want it to go to a good home, right? You want it to be loved, you want it to light up the day of someone less fortunate than yourself. It would have a wonderful home with me, I would vape it every day, I'd always give it clean carts, it would want for nothing. LOL

I'll keep that not so subtle hint in mind. :laugh:

If that's the case, they won't be in business long. People won't order and have to wait up to a month to use their products. My experience with them is they sell cheap and you get cheap. Personally, I'd rather pay a bit more and get better quality.

Really? The best juice companies out there give you the same "warning". The best juice companies mix to order. When you mix to order you have to wait for the flavores to meld.

Do me a favor and go to any of the TOP juice vendors...look at their sites...see what they say about flavors seeping...then get back to me!

Agreed. Good things come to those who wait.

That said, there is some component in VR juices that I'm not quite sure about. I have four bottles from two different orders plus a 5th I got in a PIF. There's a strange flavor component in all of them and I just can't put my finger on what it is. For me, it is most prominent in the "Cotton Candy" but I can taste it in all of them.

I've said this before...but of the 120ml I ordered when they opened, only 30 was even tolerable. The rest was garbage.

VaporRenu just flat out sucks in my book. Save yourself the headache and heartbreak and order from a company that makes good stuff and charges for it, than VaporRenu who sells extremely sub-par juice at bargain-bin pricing.

WOW---I have to completely disagree. I have purchased probably 10-15 bottles. I love this company. I dont think they are the best company out there, but for the money I do think they are worth it. I do love there BIG RED GUM--and would probably spend 3 to 4 times as much for it. I also like several of the other flavors I have. I dont care for the tabacco flavors so much--but hoenstly I have only liked VS Frisco/Frost.

But like they say taste is very very subjective. For the price everyone should at least be able to give them a try--so thats a good thing.

I have to agree with you. The big red gum is amazing right out of the mailbox. I would say the same thing for the apple cinnamon. The swedish fish is yum too. I havent had to let anything steep. I usually can smell the juice before even opening the box.
With that being said, everyone has different tastes. For me, it meets my needs perfectly. I would honestly vape the big red gum for the rest of my life. LOL
I only wish vapor renu would have a supplier profile on this site.

It's entirely possible they've gotten their act together since they opened. But once bitten twice shy, as they say. I am doubting I will be spending money there anytime soon. Although, I would be MUCH more likely to order from them than, say, Tasty Vapor, who I have also stopped doing business with.

Has anyone ordered the Key Lime from Vapor Renu and enjoyed it?

I really like the SF, Welch's Grape and Apple Pie but the Cotton Candy isn't what I expected.

Does anyone know what the 'flavor enhancer' actually is? Maybe that is the odd component I taste.

I'll have to check out the big red gum some time.


I have never ordered there special blend...so it may be the flavor enhancer taste. I always order 60/40 pg to vg. Double shot on most things (never the Big Red Gum). PM me your addy I will send you a sample of the BRG.

I havent ordered that flavor at all...just dosent sounds like a good flavor to me. I will PM you the flavors I do have...if youd like you can pick one or two and give them another shot. I really do think they are a stand up company. I dont know them from adam--and they have never done a thing for me...but I think its great when I'm able to find good juice for good prices.

I have a 555 that I let sit for a week and it is great...not too nutty..just right but yes, throat hit was low but at 16mg, I guess that might be normal.

Blueberry Pie I ordered double shot, medium TH, flavor enhancer and 50/50. It was so strong it was unvapable, right out of the box. I cut it down in half.......and now it is really a great flavor after a couple weeks. I might go the 36mg next time, double shot, and cut it to 18mg.

My Blueberry pie was also double shot, but very weak flavor on arrival. After a week, it's quite nice!
I got the Apple Pancake in today, and it smelled wonderful. So good infact, that I loaded it up and gave it a try. It is VERY good already! I know in a week or two it's going to be incredible.
I also ordered the SF flavoring. I could smell it before i opened the box! I am trying it in some less than yummy juices, but I don't think I've put enough drops in so far. I was being cautious.

I love their Bourbon and Blackberry. The Blackberry has no artificial taste whatsoever. NEVER order their Pumpkin. It is by far the worst juice ever. It tastes of chemicals and was so bad that I had to throw the bottle away too.

Hey Pageplantzoso, do you remember if you liked their Bourbon "right out of the mailbox" or did you have to let it sit for a month before flavor appeared? Also, what configuration did you get?
