Virgin vapor........really? who vapes this.

[catmomma]

I ordered the Kona Velvet Milkshake after hearing so many good things about VV and that particular juice. Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype for me. Even after weeks and weeks of steeping, it has an odd taste that tastes nothing like coffee. Taste is totally subjective I for one, am not a fan.

I agree, taste is subjective. I love Virgin Vapor, I order from them almost elusively now. I find that everything from them taste just as they describe, no weird surprises so far.

However, a lot of people love mount baker Vapor and I found that I really didn't care for any of their juices. They were all "okay", ended up giving most of them away though.

You love it or you hate it, what more can I say

the wife loves VV kona and the vanilla but she does nuke them for about 30-40 seconds to drive off the alcohol...

Out of 12 flavors I tried, peanut butter & banana was the only one I could think to order again (but honestly I'm not planning to).
Black cherry & marshmallow was ok also.

All their liquids though require a long (long... llooonnngggg) steeping time.

I got banana fosters with one order I had around valentine's day.. I didn't give it time to steep. I don't want liquid that's precut with water...just give me the pure vg liquid...and I'll add 50% water if I want the "pure vg" liquid virgin vapor is selling.. I was literally exhaling water vapor accented by banana. I didn't give it time to steep..went straight to my PIF section of juices.

I recently received my Virgin Vapors sample pack and I can now say I'm not a 100% VG person. Tasted like cooking oil. My GF liked the Black Cherry Marshmallow though. Caramel Kettle Corn is a no go for me. I did not see any increased vapor production as well. When I order from them again I'll try 50/50.

^virgin vapor isn't 100% vg.. it may not contain pg, but there's a ton of water in it. Don't base vg liquids on it.

I am glad I am only into vaping for a couple days now. I placed an order with VV tonight for two samplers and am working my way through 6 sample sizes from a local store. I do not know all the lingo and chemistry yet but do know what taste good to me. I have been a cigar smoker for 40 years so am very aware of nasty tasting smokes that marketers heap praise on and are nothing more than dog rockets. I will live and learn on this forum. Lots of good input.

I gave up on Virgin Vapors. Even after steeping, I just can't get past something they use. It's incredibly perfumey and makes my head hurt, and I'm definitely not one who's sensitive to most perfume (I even have a friend with a perfume oil company and have around 75 bottles and hundreds of sample vials). I suspect it's some kind of alcohol. Dark Side of the Moon was so bad that even after weeks of leaving it with the cap off and days (literally) in an ultrasonic cleaner it went down the sink and the dropper top found a new home on a different bottle.

My boyfriend got a bottle of White Cherry Crush when we first started vaping and liked it enough to buy two more on sale. The second bottle he opened he didn't like at all and thought it might be contaminated, there was a musty smell (he said). The third bottle is sitting in the vape box with the seal still on it and I doubt it will ever get vaped now.

Thanks, that explains why it was so thin and watery. I'll stick with MBV.

If you've only been vaping a couple of days, be aware that your taste buds are probably still all buggered. Your tastes will probably change. And you'll probably go through a "dead zone" where you can't taste much of anything. But fear not, your taste buds will come back to life soon enough.

Keep sampling juices and you'll soon find something you like. And just because some of us don't care for Virgin Vapor's juices, that doesn't mean that you won't like them. They obviously have a lot of fans who enjoy their juices.

 

[vapdivrr]

I have posted on this thread a couple of times and im in the majority here on the really funky taste of VV liquids. I know a lot of other juice vendors will have some who like it and some that do not but if you calculate the percentage of those who find this juice overly perfumed, overly alcohol and just down right nasty, you will find that there is something going on here and its just not a few people. I just don't see how some do like this juice, are they receiving different stuff? I honestly think that VV is making nasty juice on purpose and laughing about it saying" some people will buy anything"

 

[RT88]

i found the same and agree with you except

I honestly think that VV is making nasty juice on purpose and laughing about it saying" some people will buy anything"

My theory is they are in that niche of 100% organic 100% VG.... It's just really difficult to produce 100% organic flavor (no artificial flavors) that taste good. Dripeez is the only one i've tried that i reordered, and that's only simple Banana and Red apple. i dont even like their other fruits.

Then if you try Velvet Cloud Vapor its 100% VG but i doubt it is 100% organic in flavoring. And it tastes gooood. So the problem that i find with every sample i got in the VV sample is either their VG, alcohol or something else as is always said on here. I found VCV tobaccos muy terrrriblllehh but love their Night Shift and some others.

My conclusion is to stop balking at some artificial flavoring. its in so many candy and foods we eat anyway. i dont worry if the vendor is USA and otherwise seemingly committed to top quality ingredients.

 

[erazzz]

I don't think the issue with the artificial flavors is necessarily that they are unhealthy. I personally rarely vape artificially flavored juice because I find most of it tastes really funky (berry that taste like cough syrup, cream that taste like cleaner, etc).

I do order from Dark City Vapor occasionally and he uses artificial flavors, but for whatever reason I really like what he's using. Didn't care for a lot of the bigger brands who use the artificial flavors though.

When it comes to berry and fruit flavors, I really want it to taste like the real deal. I find that VV's berry flavors have been close to it.

VV does have a large following, just like many of the other popular companies. However, no matter which brand you pick (Mt. Baker Vapor, Ahlusion, Alice in Vapeland) if you start a thread asking for bad reviews, you will get just that.

There simply isn't one brand that everyone loves (if only, that would make shopping for juice 100 times easier!!!!)

To all those that didn't like VV, I hope you did find something you enjoy!! I'm always happy when I find a brand I truly like.

I used to order flavors from their Absolute line since they claim that there is zero alcohol. However, straight on the label of an order of "Going Bananas" e-liquid it states that there is alcohol in the ingredients. I was paying more for a product that still had alcohol in it. I switched to HHV since HHV clearly states that there purity line contains a little alcohol. VV does have some good flavors like Turkish Coffee naked Vanilla and Forbidden Fig(takes a while to grown on you) but I can get pretty well order just as good tasting liquid from HHV for a much more reasonable price.
PS. All of the VV flavors which have lots of alcohol like the Kona Milkshake are raunchy and did not get better with steeping........

 

[vapdivrr]

I have tried about 10 flavors from VV and no matter how hard I try to tell myself that everyone has different tastes and maybe its just me, I still cant believe that someone would actually vape this juice. it has to be that just some of the juice they send out is bad, but some is actually good and I just received the bad stuff because I really doubt that the particular juices that I received someone would find appealing for it literally tastes like plastic, period. sorry, I wont post bad anymore about vv.

 

[lewn5]

This is true. Some of their vapes like blueberry, I ordered with an extra shot, were still weak and perfume-like. Guava was also weak and perfume-like......"Going Bananas" was good till my wife couldn't stand the nail polish smell from the bottle as I juiced up on the couch. Still have to say that Turkish Coffee and Naked Vanilla were really good, but stopped since vaping them was staining my teeth. The rest are all thumbs down: buttered popcorn........yuck.......maple syrup french toast(I think that was the name).........barf...........Kona Milkshake.......yuck............Menthol......weak............there was another mint candy one.........sweet...rave reviews......tolerable, but alcohol would not go away even after steeping............caramel same deal.......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[GaG8tor]

Thank God I have a couple of good B&M's around. Couldn't imagine having to order juice of all things. Never knowing what you're going to get.

That's how you know it's quality VG, being a bio-chemist I know that the thicker the vg, the more "extra substances" their are. We isolated pure VG juice from organic vegetables in a lab a while back (99.999% pure) and it was fairly thin, almost akin to PG. However using that lab stuff was the BEST vapor production of my life.

Wow this is interesting! I didn't know that my "thicker" 100% VG e-liquids are full of "extra substances" which seems to imply some type of filler? dirt? impurities of some other nature?

 

[aikanae1]

From my understanding, flavorings are made by mixing specific/various molecules together. When someone is working at the molecular level there is very little difference between natural, organic and synthetic. Even in house extractions require filtering that is programmed using molecules to filter out. It's not like someone boiling a vat of blueberries on the stove. It's all chemicals. It's impossible to apply the label of "organic" (as in certified) to any flavoring/eliquid anyway. This subject has been covered in the DIY section.
