I ordered a 5 Pak Sampler, got 6; review of first impressions fresh; unsteeped.

This is an example of the fact that juice makers have gotten better in the last few months. A year ago, even the better juice makers had some duds. Now, they've all gotten better, and the new makers are spot on IMO.
Velvet Vapors, if this sample pak is a reflection, may be a company that is 100% good, and the taste is unique imo....
They are good fresh, and can only get better with some steeping.
(All the samples were pleasing; no weird taste) all 12mg blend of pg/vg -"velvet blend".

Snickerdoodle: Very pleasant example... a little lighter feel than MrsT or VB snicker, but definitely good.
Peanut Butter: I love a good Peanut Butter vape... this is a nutty, kind of darker brown roast nut vape.
Butterscotch: This is the most surprising flavor of the bunch: light, bright, almost fruity flavor - butterscotch? yep... with a delightful twist. maybe it's the freshness, the juice is almost clear... butterscotch wow... kinda like a Werther's candy drop. Maybe the best of all VelvetVapors. I'm lovin this.
Waffle: Hmmm, good; light golden waffle flavor... as all the vv vapes are nice, and no weirdness... this is a good waffle.

FrenchVanilla Latte: Light, sweet creamy coffee vape...
Caramel Latte: Rich caramel and creamy coffee...
Both coffee dessert vapes are great! Light, rich and creamy, with enough punch to taste the coffee too. the caramel is especially good... I have a feeling though, that most of my coffee type vapes, being darker in color, tend to pose a possibility of burnt "clog" on the coils of the atty... i may be wrong, and if so, someone please correct me ... i go through a lot of flavors and try to conserve the vape life of my attys.

Overall, VELVET VAPORS is a winner. Great taste, lots of vapor (velvet blend)... and just tons of kudos to the chef!
What i am impressed with is a lightness to the flavors, yet rich bright taste at the same time... I would next go from ordering the flavors that i am used to, as i did here, to ones that i've been afraid to order in some other vendors... like fruit....

My favorite vapes are still VB snicker, Peanut butter, and Arctic Ice... but i won't vouch for all of VB's long list of vapes...
I have a feeling with Velvet Vapors I could just keep going down their list and not find one i didn't like... rare.

Velvet Vapors is probably my favorite juice thus far. The Velvet Vanilla and butterscotch are my faves. Another great one, that you mentioned, is French Vanilla Latte. I have tried butterscotch from 4 other vendors and hers is bar none the best. When I place a juice order, I'm lucky if I like half of what I ordered. That typically doesn't happen with VV. The only juices I haven't cared for from VV are fruit flavors (with the exception of banana, peach and grape). While I still have the fruit flavors mentioned, I rarely vape them. I don't think it is VV fruit juices, as I haven't found a fruit juice that I really like. All of hers get so much better with age (since they are fresh) - yet they are great the day they arrive! The Caramel Latte was a little too bold for my taste - tasted almost burnt. But, I think that is just me and coffee juices, as I have felt this way about every coffee juice. Even her Fr. Vanilla Latte, I diluted with additional vanilla. But if coffee juices are your thing, I don't think hers will disappoint!

I also love her sample packs. Vendors either don't offer samples at all and if they do, they only offer 1 or 2 different nic levels. If they offer sample packs, many times the flavors and nic levels are chosen for you. I love that VV allows you to build your own sample pack from any flavor in her huge catalog, along with being able to choose a different nic level and PG/VG blend for every bottle in the pack if that is what you feel like.

Combine all the above with excellent customer service and VV is the best juice vendor I have tried thus far.

+1 for Velvet Vapors!!!

I had to chime in and show support for Velvet Vapors. She was my very first juice vendor and I continue to order from her, along with a couple other vendors. As with any juice vendor, there are some flavors I don't care for, but the ones I like have become staples that I've got to have on hand and keep going back to. The packaging is fantastic: bottles are well labeled, double bagged in zip-lock bags, a note with info/directions and expiration date is included, and all of it is packed in biodegradable peanuts in a sturdy recyclable box. She has some of the most flexible sampler options that I've seen. I recommend giving it a try.

Just throwing in my two cents. I recently ordered from VV for the first time, also got a sampler pack (two actually) of the Organic VG. The order process was simple and free of problems. I ordered it on Friday and received it on Monday.

So far I have tried the Apple and Honey Hookah. DELICIOUS! I gave the Orange Spice Tobacco a quick try but uh...tasted weird to me, going to let that steep and try again next week. Also tried the Black Cherry, very nice. Have about 8 more flavors to try (I ordered 10 and she threw in 2 samples) and really looking forward to it!

She is fast, isn't she? +1 for the black cherry. My friend has it and its the first cherry I have liked (and tried a lot). Don't care for her regular cherry, though. I have wanted to try the orange spice tobacco, so I'm curious to hear if it pans out after steeping. May have to try the honey hookah. I ordered honey from FSUSA and didn't like it. Didn't taste ANYTHING like honey, IMHO.

I'll let you know more next week about the Orange Spice and any other flavors I've tried by then.

I recently ordered a sample pack of hers as well and have been really pleased. All of the flavors were ordered in the 12mg / velvet blend and are being vaped in a CigEasy Go-Go
Orange Spice Tobacco - I for one am a big fan of this. Absolutely getting a nice big bottle of this for the regular rotation
Apple Hookah Tobacco - Like this one as well - did seem a bit more on the mellow side - but good
Indonesian Clove - Not bad and I'll certainly use the 10ml bottle - but still on the look-out to best replicate a clove cigarette
Ginger - Good with spice undertone. Didn't really consider it to be *that* spicy given the description's warning
Watermelon Menthol - Sounded interesting - and it is. Somewhat candy-ish in flavor, but a nice change of pace
The included extra was a White Chocolate Hazelnut - it's not 'bad' by any stretch, but since I'm not a fan of white chocolate to begin with it's not a shock that this wasn't my favorite.
Overall - as others have mentioned - great service and turnaround time with some really nice juice. Will certainly be a repeat customer of Kat's!

I have the orange spice tobacco. It has a strong spicy bite to it..... I think it's mostly clove, among other spices. Steeping doesn't mellow it a whole lot, maybe a little. The orange is not overpowering at all. It's not bad, just not at the top of my list. If you're looking for a great flavored tobacco, try her Vanilla Almond Tobacco. That is one of the early flavors I tried that I keep going back to. I also recently got a sample of the Vanilla Caramel Tobacco but haven't tried it yet..... I'll post when I do.

i got a big sample from VV and LOVE them... but i have the same feeling about their coffee types, dark type juices... seem to get that burnt taste.

what's up with no Snickerdoodle on the site? are they having problems like VB? no ingredients?

Oh God, please tell me they didn't get rid of Snickerdoodle. On the darker juices, I can say that I've tried a couple of the chocolate ones (dark in color) and I didn't get any burnt taste. I have some vanilla latte but haven't tried it yet. Of the chocolates, I think the chocolate almond is fabulous and I get cranky if I've run out.

+2 on Raspberry Gingerale (they also have plain Gingerale)

One other fave of mine is the Vanilla Almond tobacco which is mostly a rich vanilla with a bit of almond
Dormouse, you are the one who clued me in on the raspberry gingerale and I love the stuff. It is one of my 2 all day vapes. The other one is strawberry champagne. Velvet vapors is my favorite vendor.

Just want to show my support and love for Velvet Vapors juices!!!! This is my favorite juice vendor so far. My all day vape is her Candy Cane. I order it in the PG, and also in VG-0 Nic, and combine the two to my liking. She always includes a sample, and it's always in a flavor and nic level to complement your order. I also love the sample packs you can build yourself, with bases and nic levels. I just got a sample of the Butterscotch, in a 6ml bottle (!), and can't wait to try that one. I have also found that most juices I order are a 50/50 shot as to whether I will like it or not, and hers I always enjoy. There have been a few I just didn't like at all, but someone else will love it.

Of course, I've ordered way too many, and will have to sell them before they go bad from sitting here too long. I'm guilty of buying too much stuff this first year of vaping, but it's all good. Better than too many packs of cigarettes. Recently, I had a death in the family, and went back to cigarettes immediately, and just as quickly hated them again. Now I'm just craving my Candy Cane cartos and freshly charged batteries. Thumbs up for Velvet Vapors. Hope they have a discount coupon code soon too!!!
