Is VCV really that desperate to get some free national exposure with their latest graphics (in the recent email), via some e-cig-hating Senator holding it up during one of those hearings with the subject of how the industry is trying to hook kids??


In this day & age? Wrong direction, VCV..

Wrong direction...


It shouldn't be posted here, either..

Anyway, per their Facebook, they're keeping Chocolate Pudding around by popular demand...

That's good to hear...sort of...after the stockpiling and all :facepalm: Curiously my review stating this was favorite flavor from the entire line got deep sixed or eaten by an office intern. I agree on the new ad.

Not sure how long CP lasts, or how much you stockpiled, but you better get vaping! :D


The only flavored VCV I have left is about 70-80ml of VT.. About 2 months old, and still going fine (though a bit weaker)..

I'm sure it will be okay for a while longer yet, but at this point it does make me a little nervous.. Going to be focusing on finishing that..


After that, I'm done (save for perhaps trying a new flavor here & there)..

Will still be buying unflavored -- for now...

BTW, anybody take the poll at their website yet?

Smart move.. and I think we have a clear winner or two.. :D


Though all the ideas are pretty good.. But considering most VCV flavors only last a couple months, are glass bottles really needed? I could see that if they were sitting around for 6-12 months, like artificial can do..

If they go ahead with that, they should just offer the option, instead of switching everything over...

Ohhhhh. Mt. Shasta Frost. Wow. Yeah, gitcha sum. I don't even like menthol!

Menthol in an e-liquid by itself is really good.. It's been one of my favorites since I started DIY -- and I wasn't a menthol smoker!

This is the closest I've come to an ADV, if I were forced to pick one..


The Shasta also has some mint flavors added to it, which I'm sure makes it more interesting...

Got my first 500ml today! :banana:


VCV did a great packing job.. double-bagged (with both sealed on both ends), and I'm not sure how many square miles of bubble wrap were used.. :D

Not a drop had spilled, and arrived in perfect condition...


Those of you who have gotten one already know, but this thing is a beast!

And it's not so much the height -- but the circumference..


120ml bottle for comparison...

Kinda OT, but how long can someone reuse a bottle?

Good question..


Glass ones? Probably indefinitely..

Plastic ones like VCV's? Not sure.. I use the same ones they do (but buy brand-new for each DIY flavor), and then use them for refills..

At some point, I'm sure the plastic starts breaking down a little, which would begin getting absorbed a little by the e-liquid.. Guessing there's some individual variance, partly depending on the environment (temperature / humidity / light levels, how much you rinse it with warm water, etc...

I haven't gotten there yet, but obviously one day I'll start to replace my refill bottles..

Maybe this is more of a question for the DIY sub-forum or something...


BTW, the plastic these are made from is called LDPE, if that helps..

OK cool. I'm not diy yet but have been exclusively vaping the unflavored and diluting other flavors as well so my refill bottles don't get any strong liquid in them.
I haven't noticed any difference since I started refilling them.

Yeah, I think it would take a while (like, months).. And even then, not be much of a noticeable difference (if any)...


I would also wager that any harm done once it gets to that stage is tiny, that you're probably doing more damage to your body by sitting in traffic or something..

Of course, that's not to say it's perfectly fine, either, as I'm a believer in trying to reduce various exposures of any sort whenever possible & realistic...

Pure menthol? Yeah, it's called Ice Beard.. :D

What bums me out is how awesome Ice Beard used to be 6+ months ago. Nowadays I couldn't agree more.... pure menthol. It used to taste, to me, like a genuine menthol cig aside from the taste of burning organic matter in the mix. It was easily my favorite juice from VCV.

Got a bottle now that I hardly touch except to add a drop of menthol when I'm craving it and even that's a little too much.

Been rockin' the Burley and White Beards, mostly Burley. Epic stuff. MUST have some on hand at all times. That being said, I'm trying to find some new flavors to add to my repertoire as I occasionally burn out on the usual suspects. Think I'll be getting some unflavored next as I'm at my wits end. Velvet Cloud is THE juice that keeps me happy but when it's literally all you can vape you can't help but want something different.

I loved Dragon's Fire and Huntsman from HHV but they must lie about being 100% VG (Purity*) because I get serious reactions when vaping it over a week... which is exactly what happens to me when I vape PG in any amount for over a week. I've tried Free State as well and they've got some good stuff but it's just not the sort of spicy TH goodness + undertones of whatever flavor that I crave. At least none of the ones I've tried yet. They have a weird base. Pretty good, just... weird.

Their Honey Tobacco tastes pretty dang spot on like you're puffing on a mild cigar. Unfortunately it also has ~5% PG because the flavoring is suspended in PG.

Here's to hoping Velvet Cloud eventually gets around to making some new tobaccos, possibly sans the absolute, though I love it dearly. Would be interesting to see another take on it by them.

For now I'll just have to keep being satisfied with Burley Beard, White Beard, and Nutty Cookie. Which I am :p

Not too sure there's nuts in Mewlew's..

"An amazing and enigmatic blend of chocolates, cream, butterscotch, doughnuts, and fudge."


I like it a lot.. Though there's one component in there that I'm not a huge fan of.. I think it's the butterscotch...

I]"

No nuts in Mewlew's, huh. It seems like all I taste is nuts. I'll have to reassess, but there's SOMETHING in Mewlew's, and only Mewlew's, that gives me a headache. Vanilla Custard plus Campfire ot Caramel or Nightshift is one of my staples.
