I can see that.. When I'm in the mood for it, I love the stuff, too
Only issue is that I'm not always in the mood for it, LOL
I think my problem is that I'm not heavily into "overly" sweet/dessert-flavored tobaccos (relatively-speaking)
Plus, while I appreciate some noticeable throat-hit at 6 & even 3mg, my WB seems to be putting out a lot more of it for me
It is pretty tasty, though..
Would you say white beard is their sweetest tobacco flavor?
Sorry to hear that. Definitely let them steep for a week or 2. I kinda thought the same thing about ice beard but it just keeps getting better
I wish I could vape the 18mg but I this that nic level hurts my throat. I feel like I have to keep vaping and vaping to get that nic fix at 12mg. I may try a bottle iof 18mg from vcv just to see if it bugs me like the 18mg did from other brands. I smoke a pack a day + and I feel like the 12mg just doesn't cut it, or quite as fast as I'd like it too. I still am smoking but way less then I did before I got my ecig.
I am wondering if maybe the vcv nic level is diluted with the distilled water that's added? I wonder if it's at that certain ratio of nicotine then they add the distilled water or it's let's say 18mg with the distilled water included in the mixture?
I might be the only one who isn't totally enamored with VCV. I think I'm just generally not much of a fan of 100% VG juices. I like profound flavor.
Bought 'Nightshift' and let it steep for weeks. Vaped a couple tanks of it. It's...ok. Flavor is muted and so very light. It's a great combination though and left me wondering how great a 50/50 blend might've been.
They threw in a sample of peach ice tea (?) and it was awful. Told my wife to give it to a co-worker of hers.
So, all in all, my experience wasn't terrible or anything but I just don't think this vendor is gonna be in my rotation.

Of the 4 I've had so far (White Beard, Blue, Ice & Burley), White's the sweetest, to me..
The Blue was on the sweet side at 1st, but the honey part has been toning down
I would imagine the Caramel & even the Vanilla Tobaccos are on the sweeter side.. RuDawg would probably know better
As you cut back/quit cigs, you're probably going to find that your throat is going to be sore for a while.. Even happens to people who quit cigs without vaping...
I'd say I had a pretty constant sore throat for 4-6 weeks after my last cig.. don't recall exactly, been a while now... Cigs just ravage your throat
Distilled water is typically used pretty sparingly.. doesn't take much at all to thin out even 100% VG nic base
I've never had VCV's nic level tested, but I think a lot of juice brands can potentially be off by a mg or two at the higher levels, anyway
You might want to experiement with mixing 18 & 12... 50/50 would give you 15
Liked for a "non-fanboy" opinion!
Maybe about a month ago they mentioned they're going to be coming out a line with a VG/PG blend.. maybe try out a bottle of that when it does?
I've definitely had juice brands with stronger flavoring levels, even at max VG.. too heavy, actually.. Didn't like that aspect of those
Then again, this is also coming from somebody who enjoys VCV unflavored.. I've got two 120ml bottles to prove it..
I go either way with Peach Tea.. Sometimes it's pretty decent, other times it's just meh.. Wouldn't say awful, for my tastebuds.. Still on my 1st bottle, though.. No rush for a re-order, and not a huge tea fan to begin with.. I like it more for the peach (and apricot?)

White Beard is sweet for sure, but I would call it a "creamy" tobacco. I agree with GdJ on Blue, although sometimes, especially after vaping it a while, all I get is honey, not a bad thing, but sometimes ya just want the berries!!Caramel Tobacco....BLEH!! Never got it to taste good, I really wanted to like it, always had a burnt sugar taste to it for me.
Vanilla Tobacco...totally different story!! I currently have 150ml of it steeping away!!! It's a good vape FOOB. After a month of steeping my first bottle, the taste on the exhale nearly knocked me down! Yeah, it was that good.
Thanks for the advice, I heard a lot of people mention the sore throat after they quit smoking. Maybe that is some of it as I have cut back quite a bit.
Mixing it 50/50 has also crossed my mind to give me a 15ish nic level. I am also thinking about buying a 18mg just for vaping 1st thing in the morning because that is when I crave it the most and sort of struggle to get that fix.

Thanks a lot! I do enjoy sweet very much and especially with a tobacco flavor. Now I have a couple more flavors to add to my list lol
"Creamy" is probably a more accurate word for White Beard.. sweet & creamy...
Agreed with the honey in Blue.. haven't had it in a while (seeing how it does after a prolonged steep), but I noticed within a few days the honey toning down & the tobacco coming out more... Not sure how it will be for me during a long vape session at that point.. On the 1st day it was honey over-load for me (Honey Beard!
)Ice Beard is probably my favorite tobacco for longer vape sessions.. have yet to try Vanilla Tobacco, but on my list
Zero interest in Caramel Tobacco.. didn't care for the caramel in Candy Bar, even if I weren't allergic to it, LOL... It tasted real, but I just don't think caramel is a very vapeable flavor for many.. I had a non-VCV caramel apple vape before, and it was.. "okay"
Liked for a dissenting & descriptive opinion!
Guess every brand & flavor aren't for everybody..
Maybe let them steep another week or three, and revisit? Otherwise you could get Verified & toss them on the ECF Classifieds or something...
Yeah, Maple Mountain Breakfast is one I'm staying away from.. I had a maple waffle from another brand before.. had to mix it with berry juices & a bakery cinnamon -- too weird a flavor to vape by itself
Can only speak to Sour Skittles, but give it some more steep time & go from there.. I enjoy it, anyway
Good luck on your juice journey!
I am definitely going to give all of them at least a week more of steep.
after that, i am going to the vape shop with my maple mountain breakfast and seeing if it mixes with anything really sweet and bakery-ish. maybe vanilla cupcake or cinnamon roll from MIDAS.
Sour skittles definitely has something that seems like it is hiding in there... behind that perfume taste. my girlfriend tried it and she said it actually kind of tastes like sour skittles... but then again, she still smokes, so what can she taste anyway lol
I want to start accumulating 30ml glass bottles specifically for steeping. theres no air in the bottles they gave me, but in the 30ml I moved maple mountain breakfast to, theres quite a bit of air, so I can shake it and everything.
Placed my first order with VCV yesterday, Ice Beard and Burley Beard. If I wasn't at the cusp of getting into DIY I would have ordered more. Sounds like I should enjoy them, haven't really gotten into 100% VG stuff until just now.
Regarding steeping times for Vanilla Tobacco: I ordered a bottle, it was shipped out on January 31st. I filled my IBT with some just yesterday. It is not ready yet! This one REALLY needs a long steep for it to shine!! (unless the carto I'm using is a bad one!)
How to you all steep yours?
I bought some Ice Beard from a local B&M and it sat for about 5 days before I received tanks that I could use it in. So I don't know how long to store had it....
Yesterday I just placed an order for more + some other flavors including the Vanilla Tobacco but hadn't really thought about any of them needing steeping until I read this...

Ok...my typos/grammatical errors are a little embarrassing...
I meant, how doyou steep yours?
And...I don't know how long the store had the juice sitting around before I bought it and then it sat in my house for 5 days before I used it. I loved it, though.
P.S. - @jrenea4 - I'm from Baltimore and lived in OC for a few years (long before you were born from the looks of your picture...lol) On the west coast now...

I had a sore throat for the first week or so that I totally gave up analogs.
My bf and I both have a higher nic/stronger flavor juice to vape first thing in the morning or when a big craving for an analog comes along. It's not something that we would vape all day, but it works for those occasions. I usually vape 6mg all day long because I vape ALL DAY LONG...but save the 18 or 24mg for those short stints.
Still trying to figure it all out though...
Haha! I am way older than I look - but thank you! Gotta love instagram filters! Hopefully that carries with me as I get older
Can't imagine life anywhere other than the east coast - Charleston SC is my destination when I finish my degree. Anyway, I have some vanilla tobacco but I haven't touched it. White beard is my new favorite and really began to shine after a week. Same with their fruits.
