good to know that organic usually means no sweetner!

crazy thing about flavor, most of us love bobas, i have heard a person call it gym sock gross...
i then asked if they wanted to sell it lol

I don't think it does mean that. I've tried their e-liquids and found them plenty sweet.

i got a sampler and just tried the Mango organic. it's ok but a lil chalky i thought. Mango and watermelon seem to be challenging flavors for organic, like it needs some artif flavor. One watermelon, i think it was dripeez, tasted like it had the watermelon rinds in it too. But their banana and esp Red Apple is beautiful.

i also had high hopes for the Best Damn tobacco but found it had the leather chem smell of RY4 that i can't stand. need to try some Nets

I can't vape PG, so I've been going through basically every vendor I can find that uses VG, and VV was one of my first. I've found that some of their juices suck (totally my opinion, there are also super popular juices that I think are gross), and some are very pleasant. Taste is subjective, and I can see why some people wouldn't like their juices. I personally hate the Kona whatever that seems to be so popular from VV, but I absolutely love Bed of Roses & Naked Vanilla. Island Coconut has grown on me and I like to mix it with other juices. I got a sampler pack about a month ago & I only liked two of the juices I tried, but I'll still order another sampler because the juices I did like are great, in my opinion. The ones I didn't like have a very strong sort of perfumey taste that will not go away.

I really dig Virgin Vapor, although so far I've only tried 4 flavors.

The Best Damn Tobacco chewed up my iClear, but the Hunger of Persephone (Pomegranate) works perfectly, and tastes wonderful.

The BDT juice works perfectly in my Volt mini, and I love the taste. It's just a thick juice, needs a tougher kit. Just got Thrilla in Vanilla today, awesome taste, another thick one though.

I think the stuffs top notch. For me it's more about what i DON'T get with VV: Aspartame, Sucralose, and a wide array of other synthetic flavors and sweeteners. Aspartame and Sucralose are terrible for you, and I haven't gotten a single other eliquid vendor to respond to my questions about whether they use them or not. I'm not too worried about the PG, but at least you can't de-ice a plane with VG...

I'd say as a young VV customer I'd rate them at 5 stars, especially considering they've gotten me my first two orders within 4 days of me clicking submit, from the other side of the country.

Edit: also, I liked the Best Damn Tobacco a lot more after letting it steep with the cap off for a couple days.

I have the exact same thoughts re: ingredients. I was astounded that people vape sucralose. I'm not judging at all, if that's what it takes to stay off analogs then more power to them. I started DIY for these reasons, and have some pretty decent 100%VG+organic flavoring recipes. But I can't come close to VV, I don't know how they do it.

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.


Totally agree. Absobloodylutely revolting. I bought 3 tobacco flavors and a sample pack of 3 more. First up I tried Best Damn Tobacco. The exhale was revolting but it reminded me of something - eventually I remembered - just like the smell of a polish which I used years ago to soften the leather on footy boots. OK, I tried another in a brand new carto, Georgia Gold I think. Exactly the same. So bad that I have never been able to bring myself to even try any of the others. If I still played football I might try it on some old boots but those days are over - so too VV for me.

I really liked the first few VV I tried (sample packs). Kona Coffee milkshake is great, Caramel Crème is very good, Black Cherry Marshmallow, Precious Pecan Pie, Coffee Monkey, Swiss Almond and Peanut butter Sandwich were all pretty good, although the flavor is a bit weak for me. (I subsequently purchase 30ml of Pecan Pie with XX flavor.) Then I started branching into some fruity flavors and don't like any of them.

I can't think of a more inappropriate name for Best Damned Tobacco. It is the foulest concoction I have tasted yet in my short experience vaping. One of the few that I have tossed in the garbage. (I guess I did get nice little empty dropper bottle though, albeit for $4.)

I use a different criteria with VV ... they better be a 9 or a 10. I won't pay their very premium price for just a decent flavor. I would have bought 5X the amount from them if they didn't price their product like it was liquid gold.

<snip>... and wound up throwing my drip tip away as well.....and for that price?

You threw your drip tip away? To second Skoot, I'd be happy to take any and all VV product off your hands. Seriously. PM me. I have reordered 3 times in 4 months; I can't get enough of the Chai and the Kona Milkshake.

Are you sure you don't have another issue with VV other than disliking their juice? ;)

I think it might help if we knew what flavors you found revolting in order to pinpoint the issue.

I made an order a few months back of 2 flavors, Organic Snake Bite and Organic Dark Side of the Moon.

Snake Bite was awesome right out of the box.

Dark Side of the Moon had a horrible aroma and vaped even worse. I ended up having to leave it sit cap off for 3 days for something in the mix, prolly PGA, to dissipate and make it vapable. After that it was a pretty tasty juice. The juice did stain the rubber gasket in the MT3 I had it in though.

I just went through 15 of VV flavors, and did not like a single one. I also did not like any of the dozen or so AiV I tried. I'm not a big fan of the HHV stuff. These are three very popular vendors, so this is very obviously a matter of palate.

I loved Ahlusion, VCV and Mom & Pop. I'm sure others find their products to be unvapable.

A few people can only vape unflavored.

We are fortunate to have such a variety of juice sources, where most, if not all of us can find products we like.

When reading a review, keep in mind that you don't know whether your tastes are similar to those of the author. And even that is no guarantee that you will agree on a different brand of juice.

I use the reviews and threads on vendors to make a list of juices that any people seem to like, when I want to try out a new vendor.

I'm a huge coffee vaper (and drinker) I've tried lots of coffees and have finally settled on a mix combination of two that I wasn't crazy about separate but make a good combination together (ECBlends create your own and HHV Java Smooth) BUT VV Dark Turkish Coffee is one of the two best coffee eliquids I've ever had (taste being subjective and all) definitely a strong flavor but man I loved that stuff!! Unfortunately it is too thick to use in the dual carts I use for vaping. Surprisingly also (never would have guessed it or looked) VV does have a great selection and prices on Ego type batteries. Some pretty neat designs not seen other places.

I think where VV might be going wrong with a lot of us is only offering their sample packs in 100% vg. I did learn that I don't like 100% VG because of it at least. I am curious to know if their flavors might be good in say, a 50/50 mix, but I disliked the sample packs I got so much that I wouldn't risk the cost (they're very spendy compared to others) of trying.

They got excellent reviews on spinfuel, but the stuff those guys sampled was not 100% VG.

I am almost relieved when I see that others were not impressed..they get great reviews from so many I thought maybe it was just me :D

I love the peanut butter banana sandwich and the root beer float. :vapor:

I love Virgin Vapor in general, but I HATE peanut butter sandwich. Literally makes me gag. Tastes like peanuts and ..... Root beer float, however, is one that I knew I'd be buying more of on the first taste. What one person loves, others hate.

To me, VV makes awesome sweet and floral juices, so I'll pay slightly outrageous prices to have really great coffee, jasmine, and vanilla flavors. It being too thick, that seems weird to me, because most local 100% VG juice I've found is much thicker, VV dilutes theirs to what I feel is perfect viscosity. I will say almost everything needs some steep time and there's several flavors I won't bother with for at least a couple of weeks. About half of what I've tried needs some time uncapped as well.
