When I saw Virgin Vapor’s offering of organic juices, I felt I needed to try some. The first problem we ran into was Annette had never shipped to the Philippines before. So after placing my order, she emailed me saying she didn’t know how much shipping would be. I replied cautiously that it was no problem if it wasn’t too much. After a couple of days, she got back to me saying the difference was only $.50 and she would take care of it instead of billing me. That was the first indication that I had chosen a good vendor. After Annette shipped it out, I got an email a few days later saying that she caught a mistake in the way she had addressed the envelope. So she had gone ahead and re-sent me the order to the correct address. Let me stop here and say this is exemplary customer service!

The package I received was correctly addressed and, because you need to present ID to collect any international mail here, I must assume the first order is being consumed by some mailman right now. I hope he or she is an ECF member, sees this and sends Annette a thank you note!

When I opened the package, I found the bottles neatly individually swathed in bubble wrap. The bottles themselves are glass amber bottles with glass dropper top. These are the best bottles I have ever received liquid in!

These “reviews” are more like impressions because I have only had 2 days to sample them. I would rather spend a week or two with the flavors before writing about them, but I will be out of the country towards the end of this week for a while and I promised Annette I would write this up, so I am rushing a bit.

My overall conclusion is that I really like Virgin Vapor and they have my enthusiastic recommendation. I will be placing my next order when I get back in September for sure.

I am dripping on a bridgeless, dewicked 510 regular atty with an Ego Booster set at around 4.2v. I ordered extra flavor at 24mg nic. All Virgin Vapor juices are 100% VG.

Now to the juices I ordered:

Organic Caramel Kettle Corn
This flavor is my favorites of this order. It tastes almost exactly like caramel kettle corn! The one downside, and its not really a downside, is the taste “sticks” to my atty. I have to vape some pure PG to clear out the taste. Fact is though, if I wasn’t trying to taste so many different flavors in a short time period, I would really enjoy the lingering taste and never try to clear it out!

Organic Chocolate Cake
This is the one flavor I just didn’t like. It tastes to me like a super dry mocha. This one sticks to my atty and I do want to remove it. However that has allowed me to drip in some Flavourart peach whipped cream juice I DIY’d and it seems to go well with this. So I will mix this with that at some point and see if that improves it.

Organic Wild Watermelon
I really like watermelon IRL, but every watermelon flavor I’ve tried so far I found lacking; even my DIY efforts have failed. I can’t put my finger on it but all those juices don’t taste like watermelon, they taste more like a bad melon drink. Virgin Vapor’s watermelon is, unfortunately, no exception. It comes close, and maybe without the extra flavoring, the sweetness will diminish and taste better, but still the watermelon is lacking. I will say it is not bad, I can vape it and I will finish the bottle, but it won’t be on my reorder list.

Organic Banana Nut Muffin
This flavor is good but I think it might be trying to be too much. The ‘nut’ and ‘muffin’ flavors seem to overpower everything else in the vape. I can’t really find the banana in there. I do really like the muffin taste but I am not sure I like the strong nut flavor. I would rather this one have less nut and more banana. Its possible this flavor suffers from the extra strength and I will try it without next time.

Organic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
This one is interesting. The taste is very “doughy” with a slight flavor of chocolate. I am not sure yet how I feel about it. I do like it, but I am not sure if I really like it or if I only kind of like it. It has a kind of dry, dark taste. I do feel that this will be more of what I like to call a ‘mood vape’. Meaning, its not going to be an everyday vape, but more of an ‘in the mood for that’ vape. Like the Kettle Corn, this flavor sticks to my atty and its not a negative.

Organic Blueberry Bliss
I really like blueberry, and this is one of the best blueberries I have vaped so far. Next time I will order it without extra flavor. I find its a bit too sweet, so I think if its not extra this could easily become an all day vape. I add in a drop of FA Vape Wizard to smooth out the bitterness a bit.

Organic Blueberry Cheesecake
Another favorite, the blueberry taste is strong and I really like blueberry. The cheesecake flavor is light and pleasant. Sometimes cheesecake can be overpowering, in this mix it is well balanced. O fall the flavors in this order, in this one the VG taste comes out and it is a very nice compliment to the overall vape.

I LOVE Virgin Vapor, specifically the Kona Coffee Milkshake, and Butter Rum. She will mix your juice to your desired pg/vg ratio if you will note it in the comments.

Virgin Vapor and Annette get 5 big fat shooting stars from me!

Bonus: Orders under $35, only $2.50 shipping; to NC from California in TWO DAYS.

Butter Rum will be added to my next order, thanks! I did not know there was an option to do a different PG/VG ratio. Interesting. I am a little afraid it would change the taste though. Do you know if Annette recommends against changing her mix? Like the Blueberry Cheesecake I found the VG taste was really important compliment to the flavor. However, I do prefer some PG in my juices.

On my first order of Kona Coffee Milkshake (plus a sampler I ordered which included Butter Rum) they were all VG because I didn't realize there was a 50/50 option, or that she would mix according to preference upon request (BTW, I notice on the Kona there is now an 80/20 option on the drop-down menu). I had no clue, and they vaped wonderfully, and were NOT too thick for my 808 cartos, in fact if I hadn't stumbled on the fact they were 100% VG I would have never known. On subsequent orders I asked for 80/20 and notice no effect on the flavor. My two cents. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! My sisters both love it too so now I've resorted to hiding mine....paws off, get your own! :)
