3 samples from VV- all organic- Banana Coconut Colada, Not So Virgin Eggnog & Strawberry Shortcake.
5 samples from AiV- B&W Cookie, Cherry Blossom, Twas Brillig, White Rabbit & Zombie Apocalypse.

VV juices I could barely taste any flavor....let me repeat....BARELY!
Not to feel like I wasted my money I ended up putting all 3 together in a bottle of Apple Pie I got from a local B&M.
Gave the Apple Pie a LOT of vapor & I still only taste apple pie.

AiV juices tasted so so. Nothing that I'd break my neck to buy again.
I expected the flavor to just explode in my mouth based on all the hype I've read about their juices.

Truth be told, juices from both places were bland.
Going to try Ahlusion next.

i think thatVV's flavors were spot on for the few i could get a hint of. For me, it was the plum, the butter mint, orange creamcicle and root beer float. i could tell with my samples that there was promise. then i spent my next two orders chasing it and never catching it. it actually got weaker with each order. she definitely has good base flavors to work with.

I've tried about 15 of their juices. It's always either love it or hate it. Honeydew is great, maple french toast is good in a carto, In vino Veritas is totally unique and amazing, plum is really good. But then There's everything else. Most of them need to steep for at least a week with the top off.

I think it matters if you order their 100% VG stuff as opposed to stuff with some PG in it. My first order from them was 100% VG because it was a sample pack and I paid all of it forward. No taste at all, unless you count the chemically perfumey aftertaste. My mom ended up liking the kona milkshake but said "It's so ALMOST there" so we took another chance and ordered regular sized bottles so we could adjust the PG/VG. So many people seemed to love this vendor so it was worth another shot.

After a good 2 week steep the kona milkshake was pretty decent, but not something I would order again for the price, and in our case on that shipment, the extremely slow service. So yeah, you aren't the only one. Happy for those who have found their go-to though..each to his own!

Some I like and there were some I did not care for.
But Dark Turkish Coffee I just can't get enough of.

Question for you...what/how are you vaping it? I've got it in a spinner w/evod (2.2 ohm) and it either has a fruity undertone or it tastes burnt depending on how low/high my volts are.

I really want to taste the amazing deep coffee taste...any input would be appreciated!

I am with the "one's man's ADV is another man's YUK juice" camp - I ordered once from VV - never again. There was some weird taste/aftertaste that didn't work for me.

But if it works for you, keep on vaping ;)

There is SOME chemical in this Kona Coffee Milkshake that is flat out horrible! It's been steeping for over a week now, with MANY runs in the Ultrasonic, and that damn smell will NOT evaporate out. I can't believe people love this stuff...

All organic, certified. If you don't like the stuff fine...I personally can't stand Halo tobaccos, but I know there's nothing wrong with their juice and I don't troll the Halo threads claiming there's something wrong with them.

Oh, and some VV juices need 3 weeks or more to steep. You know, all natural, organic stuff needs time to mellow.

Sharing your opinion, and noticing other people feel the same way, is not trolling. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal, or if I somehow got a bad batch.

...Tastes like peanuts and .....

Too funny! I say that cilantro tastes like plant-...! My husband is a middle school science teacher (whom I am getting primed for DIY) and he told me once that with cilantro it is a chemical thing. No one "likes" cilantro. You either love it or hate it. I wonder if certain ingredients in e liquids are like that as well?

Yeah, I think it comes down to the "bases" that different companies use. For example I get a weird aftertaste on the exhale with any MBV flavors. Think its the same with VV... I can taste an aftertaste that I guess some are immune to. Mine has been steeping for well over a month now and it still tastes bad to me.

Well I'm anxious to try the two flavors I received two days ago (they're sitting now with the caps off). I ordered the Kona Velvet Milkshake and Hazelnut. I debated on whether or not to order all VG but thought I'd play it safer with 50/50. I admit the initial smell was a bit undesirable but I've learned to not let that deter me.
