Posted this in the e-liquid Review section. I thought I'd drop it here too.

I recently purchased 7 juices from Viking Vapor. I purchased 3 different flavors previously and picked up several others through the classifieds.

One feature I appreciate with VV is you can purchase via money order. Simply order on the website, print the invoice, mail it with your money order, and upon receipt, your order is processed and shipped. I was notified both when the MO was received and when the order was shipped. Communication from VV is exceptional.

Here's my take on a few of these juices (all ordered were 24 mg, 70/30 pg/vg, "full flavor" throat hit option):

Cola-As River has mentioned elsewhere, this juice is excellent. It is sweet and tastes like cola, with a little citrusy flavor as well. It has become one of my favorites.

Tobacco Menthol-I requested strong tobacco, light menthol. Without question, this is the best tobacco menthol I've vaped. The menthol is barely present on the inhalation but definitely there in the aftertaste. I think Larry wrote that it's the closest thing to an analog that he's vaped. I agree. I was never a big fan of menthol cigarettes but I smoked them once in a while. Likewise, I will make this an all day vape about once a week.

Virginia Fire Cured-I have seen this juice take a beating in other reviews and I don't get it. I LOVE this stuff! It has a unique flavor with a predominant tobacco presence. I can't quite get my tastebuds around exactly what else is there but I'm guessing just a splash of black licorice, and maybe a couple of other things. This is one of my top three juices. Warning: It does create quite an odorous vapor. Personally, I think it smells good, but stealth-vaping is out of the question with VFC.

Chocolate Coconut-This tastes like chocolate and coconut...go figure. It is the perfect C/C blend in my opinion. Both flavors are distinct and I like it that way.

Blueberry Italian Soda-Uh....This one is not for me. I've never really been a fan of blueberry anything so I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I ordered it :->

The throat hit on all of them is 10/10. I really like the fact that all of the VV juices I've ordered with the "Full Flavor" TH option do indeed have an excellent TH. I'll give the vapor production on all of them an 8/10. It's very good but at 70/30, it's not going to be like a 100% vg juice.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase. I got 120 mls of juice mixed the way I wanted it with a killer throat hit shipped to my door for $53. And I didn't have to beg VV to take my cash rather than my credit. Swe-e-e-t!

Thanks for your excellent review. Very well done. Gives me insight about other flavors to try.

I like to stealth vape at work when I can manage it but I'm starting to get concerned that the aroma from my vapor is going to draw attention.

I've already heard that the Virginia Fire Cured is too strong to stealth vape (unfortunate because it sounds tasty) but are there any other Viking Vapor flavors I should avoid if I want to keep a low profile?

Again this is probably something best answered by others but I want to make sure you get an answer. I would avoid the tobacco's, signature "smoke" flavors and the RY4 (which contains a large percentage of tobacco flavoring). Aside from those I would think that most the other flavors would have a pleasing odor, if any, and would be less likely to draw any negative attention.

With that being said I hope others will pipe in regarding their opinions on the least 'attention getting' flavors. I spend my day's in an environment saturated with all these flavors (smells like a candy store) and smoked analogs for 24 years prior to becoming a vaper so am therefore probably not the best judge of odor.

On the 10th I will be making my 2nd order with them. This time a couple of the biggest bottles of the Kulhua and Cream (man that sample size went WAY too fast I am so in to this flavor!)

and at least one of the full sized bottles of the new RY4 (was very tasty) plus some new sample sizes to try.

Do you sell 555 or anything like it?

We do not currently have a 555 but it will be coming in the near future. 555 is one of those flavors I'm not personally all that familiar with and therefore need to determine which ones currently available people consider to be good versions and which ones are bad. Once that's established I'll work on a Viking Vapor version.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Yes. As soon as we get moved into the new facility (which is long overdue but coming soon) we will offer a 30mg and 36mg option.

    I have seen a few reviews of your liquids and am looking forward to trying the menthol tobacco when you get settled into your new place. I mix my own tobacco menthol right now at 30mg but it would be much easier if I could just buy it from you already mixed. I will wait patiently for the availability of the higher strengths. Tap, tap, tap. Just kidding.:)

    my boyfriend and i received our first order 5 days ago. we ordered 15 different flavors. we have had a lot of fun trying them out. we even invited a couple of our friends over for a taste testing party. lol. which afterwards, they went home and ordered some for themselves! while i admit i didn't like a few of the flavors i had previously used elsewhere. i have found some new flavors that i love :) and plan on trying more. speaking of....

    i am in the middle of making a list for my next order, i plan on trying some of the flavored cream sodas, and was curious to if a cream soda by itself was available?

    Hello Canute. I pm'd you a couple of weeks ago about your Virginia Fire cured Tobacco Juice. I wasn't crazy about at first. It was left off that I would let it sit a while to let the flavors mingle. Well, I think that did the trick! I am really liking the flavor now and have been vaping this all weekend. It still has a bit of a strong oder on exhale but not too obnoxious. Thanks for your input and looking forward to my next order

    Glad to hear everyone enjoyed!

    We can absolutely make you up a straight cream soda if you'd like. Just place something like Vanilla Cola (similar of course) into your shopping cart and under the "special mixing instructions" place a note stating that you'd like Cream Soda rather than the Vanilla Cola.

    Incidentally, I know I chimed in a little late on this so if you already have an order pending just send me a PM and I'll make sure we get a cream soda in with the order.

    I have to say that your experience with the Virginia Fire Cured is similar to many peoples, including my own. It's some pretty potent stuff at first vape but becomes a darn good analog replacement after one becomes accustomed to it.

    My personal experience has been that if I find a flavor to be perfect strength at first vape I can pretty much bet I won't be able to taste it at all after a day or two. For that reason I try to gear our liquids toward a strength that will be potent initially but maintain the desired flavor after prolonged vaping.

    I just made my 2nd purchase with you! #1162

    I have to say I am very pleased with the Kahlua&Cream. My heart broke when I ran out of the sample size. I ordered two 30ml bottles of it AND a 30ml double flavor I can mix down with some flavorless nic juice I already have.

    Also want to thank you again for letting me sample the RY4 when you first made it. I ordered 2 30ml bottles of that as well this time. WELL worth it to me:)

    Also got some more flavors to sample. I think I almost doubled what I spent the first time, but this time I have two flavors under my belt worth continuing with and the first order was mostly a bunch of sample sizes. I am so happy you offer sample sizes so we can pick out what we love and invest in more of it~_*

    I LOVE Viking Vapor and have no intention of getting my juice anywhere else. A bit worried about what will happen with the PACT act though.... do you have any thoughts on that? I am also in NY state.
