This is my first review, and I'm fairly "fresh" to the vape scene (2 months). However, I have ordered quite a bit of different e-liquids through different companies, and this one has been where I've entered my credit card info the most. I don't plan on many reading this, but if it helps someone decide on a flavor in the future great. Plus having a few drinks and typing this has been fun.

With that said, I am kind of mixed about their flavors and juices. Keep in mind that flavors are totally "subjective" and my taste buds won't always match yours. Also I used a Go-Go to try all these flavors, both dripping and filled cartos. So lets get started:

VaporRenew.com - Great company overall! I have ordered twice from them, both times only three 30mL bottles, both on a Monday, and have gotten the order by Thursday. Quick shipping, so fast in fact that USPS had it estimated me receiving an order on May 21, 2011, but received it May 20, 2011. I'm in Littleton, CO, and I believe they ship from Cali, so this may not always be the case. The best feature about this company in my opinion is their options; they allow you to choose from: flavor intensity (3 different levels), nicotine level (standard), caffeine level, throat hit (from smooth to ultra aggressive), PG/VG blend (including a special blend of electrolytes and papaya leaf extract), and a vitamin boost. Another cool feature is they put the nutritional value on each bottle. Although it's always the same, it is still pretty cool and original. When it comes to price and offerings, I give them and 8/10!

Now to the flavors:

Martini: Lemon Drop - Very delicious flavor. Ordered it with the "special blend" containing a 55% PG / 38% VG / 7%* Electrolytes/Papaya Leaf Extract, 24mg Nic, and 20mg Caffeine. Also ordered it with an aggressive throat hit and 20mg of caffeine. This is great tasting, and really does remind me of the shot/alcoholic drink. It is something I personally could vape all day. Although I ordered the juice with aggressive throat hit, it feels like I'm just sucking down air. I'm not sure if the caffeine works or not, but I still like to vape this as soon as I wake-up for the extra energy. The vapor production in my opinion is certainly average at best, but this could be because of the special blend. The thickness of the liquid is almost a water consistency, and when filling the carto it never pools. Overall I give this flavor a 7/10 - I liked it so much though, I bought the flavor "lemonade" from them.

Lemonade - Again, a very delicious flavor! I alternate this one and another for my main vape. Tastes very similar to Martini: Lemon Drop with subtle differences. The mix I have on this one is a 60/40 PG to VG blend, 24mg Nic, and 80 mg Caffeine. The consistency is still the same, the throat hit still less than desirable, but the caffeine jolt is definitely there. This certainly makes a good morning vape to help wake-up! Overall 7.5/10

Honey Wood Tobacco
(24mg Nic, 00mg Caffeine, 80/20 Pg to VG Blend, TH - Aggressive) - At first I thought I hated this flavor, reminded me of hair spray that you would breath in after getting ready for school in the morning. Now however, after letting it sit for a while, I really do like it. The honey flavor is definitely more tasty and the perfume/hair spray taste has gone away. The TH is still like sucking air, and it is definitely not a all day vape, but certainly good in a pinch. Overall 5.5/10

Honey Nut Cheerios(24mg Nic, 00mg Caffeine, 60/40 PG to VG Blend, TH - Aggressive) - This one you can definitely taste both the honey and the nut flavors. However, it tastes nothing like honey nut cheerios, my favorite cereal as a kid. I do like it, and think there will be others who will too, it has a decent TH, but I don't feel I can vape it all day. Overall 6/10

Rich Coffee Tobacco (24mg Nic, 10 mg Caffeine, 80/20 PG to VG Blend, TH - Aggressive) - I will keep this short. If you enjoy licking an ashtray cleaned with instant coffee, you will love this flavor. All others steer clear. Again no throat hit, but good vapor production. I will try to sell this one on Clist as a paint remover. Overall 1.5/10

Blueberry Malt (24mg Nic, 00mg Caffeine, 80/20 PG to VG Blend, TH - Aggressive) - This one was very deceiving! When I opened the bottle the blueberry aroma was very nice, and I thought it would taste great. After taking the first inhale, I thought wow this is good, but on the exhale I nearly threw-up! I'm not sure what the hell they use for malt flavoring, but that flavor tastes like I've licked the rear end of a dead armadillo on an empty Texas highway (trust me I know). Again I will try to pass this off as toilet bowl cleaner on Clist in hopes of making some money back. Overall 2.5/10

As I stated, I don't expect everyone to read this, but jack and diet, and some free time made this all worth wild. Overall this company has been great! Pricing, shipping, and originality goes a long way with me, and they win in all three categories. However, the flavors weren't even close to what I expected, the consistency of liquid was thinner than the other companies I've used with the same blend, and the throat hit on all 6 bottles is like sucking air (even though I ordered aggressive). If you're looking for an affordable alternative to your standard vape, I would certainly recommend them. I personally wouldn't use them as my primary company/e-liquid dispenser though.

Here we go...let me punch holes through this quickly and easily.

Electrolytes = salts...yes, that means ionic solutions...which means mineral deposits on your atomizers (that's bad)

Caffeine...isn't vapable, regardless of what you hear in reviews...besides, vaping enough caffeine to feel it would result in an e-liquid that's mostly sludge. What you feel is the placebo effect.

My take on all this: EPIC FAIL. That is all

I don't know, I think this company is very under-rated. I love the cola, cinnamon, lemon-aid and ameretto flavors. They own and use flavor west flavors witch other juice makers use for their own products. I never order the special blend and haven't tried the caffine yet (I have a cola with caffine on the way). I don't know why caffine wouldn't be vapable, we vape nicotine why not caffine? They use the same ingredients as everyone else but don't charge anywhere near as much. They custom make each order and ship quick. As with any company you like some flavor and don't like others. I think if they were on ECF all the time like most juice vendors the opinion of them might be different. Jmho :)

Why can't we vape caffeine? For one, caffeine is a solid, not a liquid. Also, getting enough caffeine into a juice to make its effects noticeable would require supersaturating your juice with it(you'd have to keep it at near boiling temp), also, it doesn't turn to vapor at temperatures a PV would reach under atmospheric conditions. In other words, their caffeine juices are strictly a gimmick.

I'm not sure about it being a gimmick, but I will say that the liquids I ordered with caffeine seems to be creating some kind of burnt residue on my carto. If/when I order from them again, it will certainly be without all the extras.

With the flavors you have ordered, have they had any throat hit, or a thick consistency (not water)?

I'm a big vapor and flavor person, I need lots of vapor. I don't really care too much about throat hit as long as I get clouds of vapor. The vapor needs to feel big in my lungs. That being said, I do order extra flavor (so I can taste it in my ego t), aggressive, and 36 mg (I used to smoke black and milds, that I inhaled). It has to taste yummy too, I only vape sweet candy or cola flavors and usually add a little menthol to make them cool. I don't need huge TH with cola. If I need it I reach for cinnamon and am usually happy. The extra stuff in their special blend may thin the juice and mellow the TH but I've never ordered it. I just ordered some cola in all VG for the first time and I'm hoping that they thin it some. I hate when juice so thick you can't get it out of the dropper or use it in my ego t. When I DIY, I always add 10 to 15% distilled water to thin my VG mixes. If you want I'll add you to my friend list, P.M. you when I get the all VG and let you know how thick it is. :)

I must say, I really LOVE VaperRenu, take into account that I am new to vaping; filling cart's with an 808 and I have an order for the eGo Elegante I am stalking the USPS site for. Flavor is key with my style of vaping, then vapor and lastly TH. I have placed two orders with them totaling 8 bottles and I LOVE them. I order my flavors with the Renu blend, double shot of flavor, smooth TH, 0-24mg of nic and that's it. I am going to be trying other juice vendors with my next order and changing up the PG/VP blend with VaporRenu.

I don't know about the "gimic" of vaping caffeine, I am not a chemist, all I know is that I get all the caffeine from my coffee and soda that I need, so I don't need it in my vape, so I don't order it. :2c:

I have tried VR's swedish fish once with caffeine once without and can say with complete certainty (for me anyway) that the caffeine had zero effect. The juice was good, but I felt a bit stupid for paying for (not a lot but still paying) and expecting the caffeine fix and not getting it. Just my 2 cent.


Also the RE(4)NU was the absolute most taste bud offending, atty destroying mess I've ever touched...who puts licorice flavor in ry4?

It's not a matter of just expecting a caffeine fix and not getting it, it's that getting your caffeine fix from vaping is physically impossible.

Vapor renu has a lot of good flavors. I like them sweet so I have added sweetner to some. Pink lemonade was so good after i added some sweetener-like fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA 16mg renu blend i think it was double flavor.

Tobacco root beer-really good and i dont know why sounded weird but i bought it.

Carmel capp. very good dark coffee flavor

ry4- I thought it was peppery at first but now I love it and im using it as i type...ahhhh

mt dew, big red gum, heath bar,watermelon mint (very light flavor) are all really good.

I had one bad one and Jason is replacing it AND he said he was pulling the flavor and going to retest it. How about that for customer service? Taste is personal so take it with a grain of salt.

I am a chocoholic and since I have started vaping I've tried probably around 10 different chocolate juices and blends. Vapor Renu has always come up as my favorite. I order double flavor double chocolate; it's the one that tastes like chocolate to me and has become my all the time vape. I can't vouch for any other flavors. I tried the pistachio and it was ok. But I always come back to the double chocolate. Plenty of vapor for me. No added caffeine....I don't need it. The juice isn't watery like some others I have tried. The price is great and the shipping and customer service is terrific as well. To me this company offers a good product at a good price....not a rip at all. Far from a "epic fail". This is my go to juice. Like I said, I've tried alot of different juices and this is my favorite.

I will just add that VR is one of my favorites too. I am fairly new and have only really tried about 6-8 different sellers, but VR has always been near the top on everything I have tried. That being said, I have tried quite a few juices that are very highly regarded by some, that almost make me vomit, so maybe I have odd tastes.
