Velvet Cloud Vapor

[Gato del Jugo]

Yeah....It is yummy.

I've been trying not to touch my 3mg Catherine (only bottle right now).. Been steeping for 3 weeks, smells so dern good

Been vaping up my all my other flavors at 6mg first to get them out of the way (yes, I know I could mix for nic level, LOL), except for the last hour or two before bed, when I usually hit 3mg Skittles these days


Plus I want to see just how strong & flavorful it can get.. My previous record for CtG was 3.5 weeks, and it just kept getting better & better

And yes, my mouth does water while smelling it...

 

[Gato del Jugo]

Hmmm.....actually, the more I thought about it the more I realized that if I could only have two VCV liquids it would be Night Shift and Catherine.

Night Shift has fallen down the list for me these days.. I like it in the morning the best.. Does make a pretty good breakfast...


Harvest is really good, but sometimes it can yo-yo back & forth for me... Cutting it with unflavored is tasty, too.. tones down the cherry, which seems to dominate the longer it steeps

But Catherine? Could never get sick of that, even for a minute...

 

[Gato del Jugo]

Their fruits are good.. I've done (multiple) re-orders for Catherine the Grape, Harvest Berry & Sour Skittles

I should mention, Sour Skittles is not candy!

I taste grape, cherry & probably blackberry.. all natural, of course


It's probably the most perfumey/florally of the VCV fruits that I've had, even after a month of steeping.. Some people don't care for that.. I can really only taste that aspect the first few vapes of a session

Still really good, though.. probably my 2nd (or tied for 2nd) favorite VCV fruit so far

When I finally break out my Catherine, I want to add some to Skittles..

So Gato you just made me go grab my Sour Skittles and I taste it exactly as you do, minus any floral notes. DELISH!

No floral? That's only because my highly-intuned iClear 16s whip the pants off any dripper...


For the 1st few vapes, I can get like a fruit flower.. Ever eat a white "pre-blueberry" off the bush before? Like that kind of floral I'm talking about

It might be partly the grape, but usually CtG's fades pretty quickly, like within a few days.. Wondering if it's the blackberry that's causing it.. Doesn't really bother me at all


Maybe I've just been lucky with mine, but steeping doesn't change it whole lot.. probably a little more flavorful, & less perfumey/florally as time goes on.. But mine has always been pretty good from early on


So do you think it tastes like grandma's perfume, as somebody described it?

Told you SS is good!

I hear that Julie has a pretty strong grip..


Weird, both my bottles of Sour Skittles are crystal clear.. the elder being a month old now...

Is your smaller bottle a strong nic level?

haha I think she must...

no they're both 24mg, seems to smell about the same though...now that I finally got it open

Wondering if maybe one of 2 things happened (or both!)...

- A little bit of juice got caught in the cap threads, and acted like a glue

- Something weird happened with the changes of air pressure during the flight

But yeah, I'd rather have it too tight than not tight enough.. 8-o


Anyway, I suppose now would be a good time to remind people who are thinking of getting a 120ml bottle that they don't have a squeeze tip at the top..

I use a tip-less plastic syringe to transfer from the 120 to a smaller empty VCV bottle...

First order from VCV should be here Monday. Campfile, Monkey Business, Maple Mountain Breakfast and Caramel Tobacco.

I would have never ordered night shift, hate coffee. Of course it was the sample in my first order so I gave it a shot. I thought it was great and went thru it in a few days. So I got a 30mL bottle with my last order, 2 weeks or so in and it is falling out of favor quick. Guess I truly don't like the coffee flavor coming out. If I order it again it will have to be a small bottle that I can vape before it steeps.

I'll have to order some harvest berry next time, I do like cherry.

Sour Skittles is quickly becoming my new favorite, been vaping it all day. Step away from the SS Jenna...step away. Vape tongue awaits you.

And yes I talk to myself

I'm quickly becoming a fan of the "bearded" flavors, and their colors continue to get darker as they steep, even with my low nic level (6mg and 3mg). Sour Skittles sounds pretty good.

And don't let anyone tell you that talking to yourself is crazy. It's quite the opposite. Talking to Yourself: A Sign of Sanity | World of Psychology

Yeah, Harvest Berry is cherry, raspberry & strawberry.. and can barely taste the blueberry

Seems to be a flavor enjoyed by many

Would love to vape a strong natural blueberry someday.. not sure it's possible, though

I have a bottle of Harvest Berry that I probably won't get to until at least a 2-month steep, so maybe the bluberry will be more pronounced by then?


As for Night Shift, I think you're right.. I think it changes too much the longer it steeps

Nutty Cookie is the same way.. Basically there's a window early on where it's like, "Whoa, this is really good!"... Then either something fades, or another component comes to the forefront, and it's just okay


Who knows, maybe I'm just losing interest in bakery-type flavors

Still want to eventually revisit the fudgy/chocolate overload of something like Monkey Business (i.e., Chocolate Pudding, Mewlew's)

Any favorites so far?

 

[Gato del Jugo]

Step away from the SS Jenna...step away.

How do you think I feel?

I still want to try a handful more flavors, but then look at the roughly half-liter of juice in my cupboard..

Step away from the VCV web-site...

But...but...when there's a sale?

 

[eLefAdEr]

Any favorites so far?

I have Bluebeard, Burley Beard and Ice Beard Menthol. While all have a very similar "base" flavor, they are distinct enough to tell the difference.

Ice Beard is probably the smoothest menthol flavor I've tried out of maybe 3 or 4 others from different vendors. I ran out of The Vapor Chef's Menthol Tobacco #42 a while back and had intended to buy more since I really liked it, but Ice Beard might bump that out of the "must buy again" category.

Burley Beard is a subtle blend. The site description says it starts with a grassy tobacco note and gets complex on the exhale; can't refute that. It's not overly sweet and I'm getting no bitterness at all. A solid choice if you like Virginia or Kentucky-style tobacco flavors.

Blue Beard replaces those cured tobacco notes with a hint of blueberry. I'm not really a berry flavor guy but this is really delicious.

They're all excellent, too difficult to say which I like the most out of those three right now, even after spending a couple weeks vaping them. A lot depends on what I'm drinking or eating at the time!

 

[Gato del Jugo]

But...but...when there's a sale?

I guess I'll have to take the chance that there will be at least 1 more sale between now & July..


I honestly don't know what nic strength I'll be vaping when I finally need more.. I have about a month's supply of 6mg left, with the rest in 3.. I want to vape up all my 6, and see how well I'll do 1st on full-time 3

If I had to buy something right now, it would be 120ml of unflavored in zero-nic.. Could cut everything down to 3 with it, but then it would also push out the 3 that much more


As much fun & enjoyable as vaping is, at the very least I want to be zero-nic by the end of the year

I'm a "slave" enough in too many areas as it is.. We all are, if you think about it.. And if I can get rid of the nicotine habit, that's one less thing..

Plus I'm not too optimistic about looming tax laws on all this vaping stuff.. One of the reasons why I quit smoking was to save money, and within a year or two, vaping might be a lot more expensive...

 

[Gato del Jugo]

Burley Beard is a subtle blend.

I'm finding mine to be the opposite.. that it's pretty bold

Simple enough, but rich, bold & flavorful

I need to try it in an iClear 30 one of these days to see how much it gets muted, but I'm thinking I'll have to cut it with either unflavored or some sort of flavored, like fruit or the remaining desserts I have left


Anyway, give White Beard a try if you're thinking about it..
I ran out like a week ago, and already miss it...

RuDawg7890 like this.


What are you down to these days, like 700ml?

I see a lot of nic-cutting in your future..

I would order it right away if I weren't tripping over juice bottles in my apartment and another 400ml on the way... give or take...
