Hello everyone,
I received my first order from Virgin Vapor the other day and have had time to go through them all.
First, I ordered July 8th, received shipping notification on the 12th and it came via USPS on the 16th. So, overall a little over a week.
Second, Annette threw in a couple extra samples, which was very kind.
Next, they are all packaged in glass amber bottles, presumably to retain their maximum flavor and freshness. Logical, but a bit worrisome, as I tote my liquids in my purse, which gets the usual amount of female abuse, so there is the inherent concern with breakage. Only the French Vanilla Kiss and one of the sample bottles came with droppers. The sample sizes were 4.3 ml.
OK, on to the reviews. All of these were done on my mini Lambo with a drip tip and atomizer at 5.0 twice. With the exception of the French Vanilla Kiss, which was 50/50 PG/VG at 9 mg nicotine, all of these were 100% VG at 12 mg nicotine.
French Vanilla Kiss- I ordered this based on all the rave reviews on her site and here. I thought this one was very good. Strong vanilla flavor and aroma. Sweet but not too sweet. I am a bit of a vanilla-holic, and have tried several other versions. This one was good, but mild to my taste. Still it is one that would be good on its own when you don't want something overpowering or good mixed with other flavors. I have used it with some of my straight tobacco flavors to mellow them out a bit without adding sweetness.
Creme Caramel- Incredible! This is a nice sweet vape. Creamy, flavorful and fragrant. Definitely a keeper. I really enjoyed this one. I also have the Clouds of Vapor Creme Caramel coming, so am looking forward to seeing how they compare. Overall would highly recommend this to anyone who prefers dessert flavors. There were no negatives with this one for me, and it was great right out of the box.
Maple French Toast- Tasty and sweet with a pronounced maple aroma. I didn't detect a whole lot of cinnamon or butter undertones, which are key components in making French Toast, but thought it was very good overall. The maple itself had a strange chemical element to it on inhale, reminding me for some odd reason of walking into an indoor pool area! It dissipated quickly and was far less noticeable on exhale. Perhaps it is just a different kind of maple flavor from what I am used to or perhaps it will just disappear with more time to steep. Overall nice but not perfect out of the box.
Eggnog- Wonderful aroma right from the bottle. Excellent flavor and taste throughout. Creamy, not too egg-y, but distinctly eggnog-y. Slight undertone of brandy with balanced sweetness. Much better than the two Eggnogs I have from other vendors. Not a whole lot of nutmeg detectable. The best one I have tried yet. Would vape this when wanting mellow .
Fresh Thai Mango- Very strong mango flavor, fruity and taste 'fresh'. However, it was too perfume-y for my liking. Perhaps I buy too many hair and body soap products, but it really reminded me of something I would use as a body product, rather than eat or vape. Might use it in the future, but it may just go into storage until I really crave something fruity and super-fragrant. It would be good mixed into a lemonade or cocktail flavored liquid to tone down the aroma, but keep the sweet, fresh, fruitiness.
Naked Vanilla- Lots of vanilla flavor, but I got an odd undertone of 'fresh band-aid' when I vaped it at first. Later this disappeared altogether and it was a nice, light straight vanilla. A bit sweeter than French Vanilla according to my tastes. Haven't mixed it with anything else yet, but probably will.
I thought customer service was commendable without being intrusive, and will probably order more from Virgin Vapor in the near future.

So, I hope that helps anyone trying to make vendor and flavor choices.
Have a fruitful and blessed day!
