This is really interesting. Tastes are different, sure. But I think there are some flavors/foods that most people can agree on (vanilla, strawberries etc). Not so, it appears, with e-liquid. I received my first shipment from VV and I was blown away. I got Vino Veritas, Coconut Breeze and Persephone (Pomegranate) - absolute virgin line. I could not detect any alcohol, just subtle and highly realistic flavors. After trying several flavors from Mt Baker, V4L, MadVapes, VaporZone, I have to say that all those flavors were harsh, highly artificial and perfumey. You order banana - you get laffy taffy, you order peach or blueberry - you get some non-descirpt sweet juice, you order melon - you get jolly rancher's flavor. But maybe that's what most people want. The only one that came close it it was Elevated vaping's Pencil.

I just got 5 from VV and they all smell like straight alcohol. I haven't vaped any yet, but I'm a bit concerned by the smell...

Leave the bottles open with the cap off for a day, and shake (with the top on, of course) occasionally to mix it up. Usually the majority of alcohol evaporates off. There's still some residual after that, but then it will begin to blend in with the flavors.

VV juices need a pretty long steep to be at their best, so if you try it and don't like it for the first couple of weeks, don't get rid of it...try it again in another couple of weeks.

I just got a banana colada and I can taste the alcohol. Is there ANY way I can save my $14 and make it go away?

I've actually never tried their PG blend juices, I've only ever had 100% VG from them, and I absolutely love the ones I had. Razzmatazz, Hunger of Persephone, Death By Chocolate, and Cotton Candy Carnival. Someone else mentioned they need a long steep time; for me, the fruit flavors were the best out of the bunch straight out of the box, but they all improved drastically even with just a week of steeping. I have never had to get in touch with the owners for any reason, but if you feel like the juice is not aging/steeping well, perhaps you should contact Annette and see if she has any suggestions (she's the chef over there at VV). I'm tempted now to try some blended juices, just to see if it's different. Supposedly the higher the VG ratio, the better the taste, and as I said, my 100% VG juices blew me away flavor-wise after a bit of a steep. Side note: Did not breathe them at all, just 1-2 weeks steeping in a dark place and even with minimal shaking they steeped splendidly.

maybe some flavors are different to others, but every vv juice I have tried all taste like plastic and alcohol. I have tried steeping and still the same, and not to long ago I found one that I didn't throw away, it was a year old and still tasted like crap. no one can tell me this is because it is all natural or organic, that's bull! its just nasty.

Yes, I've seen you express that, numerous times. :laugh: Somebody likes them, they're still in business which is pretty good, considering they were one of the first vendors that used all natural ingredients and 100% VG. I guess it's just not for you.

O.K. everythings subjective I get that, everybody likes a different kinda vape,yeah sure.

I've tried all kinds of juices, I've vaped juices that were a minute old and juices that were weeks ...months old, but Virgin Vapor ....really folks. please tell me I missed some snippet of information,like this juice has to steep for 3 weeks, or must be vaped on pure gold coils only......but this...I have tasted some nasty stuff but, I haven't tasted anything this bad since the bad old days of Chinese juices. I ordered a sampler of 100%vg juices,is there some kind of special steeping time for pure vg juice is that it. Please for you fans of this juice , what's up wid it.

I think their buisness practices are poor. I received juice from them that was not usable it was that bad. I let it steep for 4 MONTHS!!! Was still the same after that, everyone I know hates VV. Stay clear of them in the future.

Found this guy on YT, same experience I had

And I will continue to express my opinions every time I see a thread pertaining to this subject. It is my opinion, yes, and everyone is different but at least in the juices I have purchased from them, I can tell you with certainty that there was something wrong with them.

As much as I detest VV juice I'm not going to announce it every chance I get. Being that taste is highly subjective, what works for some doesn't work for others.

I see each vendor as the chance I take when I place an order. I've gotten juice from a lot of different companies ~ some I'm a returning customer; others *Ohhhhh hell no never again!*

Well, no one is stopping you from being an ....... You're more than welcome to post your continued dissatisfaction on their vendor page, where there are lots of satisfied customers you can argue with.

(Geez, I'm not even a huge fan and you've got me defending them.) :facepalm:

Do you know what the thread title is? Or do you just troll and call people names? Check out the thread title and tell me why you would say what you did. I do not or would not go out of my way to give my opinions, but when the thread is asking or telling their dealings with the product then my response is warranted. So do yourself a favor and quit while your ahead.
