Virgin Vapors...some good, some bad like everyone elses!

[~Sue~Feb2012]

Hi! I'm into VG juices and have tried a dozen vendors. In general, I have very sensitive tastebuds, i.e. coke and pepsi are so sweet I have to dilute half & half with club soda or seltzer water, and foods that have mild spicyness to some people taste way too burny/ spicey for me LOL.
Back to Virgin Vapors: I like a lot of their flavors (which MUST steep for a few weeks to get a good flavor going IMO) but I have to say that I was/am disappointed that I don't get the same taste according to her descriptions! Death by Chocholate is so bitter it's not vapable unless adding sweetener and other flavors to mute the bitterness! There is no "...balance of sweetness and dark bitter..." ! Maybe she means the bitterness can kill ya LOL . Also, the chocolate cake is kinda bland and not at all like a "chocolate cake baking in the oven" according to her description. Butter cream mint is nice. Creme carmel is also nice. Mint Tingle really does tingle and is great. I'm not liking original sin. Peppermint Chill is great. Spearmint Kiss is great too. Tropical Storm was nasty. Wintergreen is great. Hot buttered rum was yum. Naked vanilla not so much.
I know that tastes are subjective. Eventually I will have ordered each of her flavors just to see how my views compare to other's reviews.
Experimenting is fun no matter what right?

Death by Chocolate mixed with her mint chocolate makes it a killer chocolate mint- mixed with Blueberry Bliss is also good. I do not want the choc straight up so it works well for me as a base. My fav of hers is Kona Velvet Milkshake- a must have- and tho it gets better and better as it steeps, to me its vapable on arrival, imo.

organic vanilla latte is awesome right out of the mailbox!

Ok, I've seen/read so much about that Kona Milkshake, I simply must place an order for that one and a few more. I have been mixing the Death By Choc and Choc Cake with other stuff and have almost finished those huge bottles LOL
I do LOVE the fact that VV comes in glass bottles...as I have noticed that some of the plastic ejuice bottles from other vendors appear to have some serious degrading issues! As if the plastic is being eaten right thru...some bottles from some vendors arrive with cracks and splits and juice all over the .......king packaging! sheesh

The Kona Velvet Milkshake is one of my all day vapes. It is so smooth, creamy, and flavorful.

I love the glass bottles with the dropper top also. I bought a few empty ones to mix or dilute some of my juices.

i have very sensitive taste buds as well and i have found that her juices aren't as sweet as what i expected, ie not sweet at all. mmmm but other wise i enjoy them, i wish they had some more sweetness to them though.

yes I agree and have been adding EM sweetners to most of her flavs that I've tried

 

[bigoted]

only the organic flavor sweetness you can have from her juices !

I got the kona coffee milkshake from them, and i guess i have to let it steep more. To me it has kinda a alcohol taste to it... How long do u let urs steep?

 

[puff-a-saurus]

I have never found a milk chocolate flavor that didn't taste funny. Some flavors are harder to reproduce than others I guess.

I ordered the absolute virgin 4.3ml sampler and got Original Sin (apple); Perfect Peach; and Vanilla Latte ... this entire line I would say would be good right out of the packaging. The Peach with no extra flavor at all was almost too intense, I did have to mix it with something else to make it "slow down" a bit. HA! But to me, something that intense also isn't a bad thing. The apple was mixed with some JC Red Oak Tennessee Cured Tobacco flavor and WOW, that could easily become an all day vape. I currently have the Vanilla Latte mixed with some of my Red Oak TC as well and the flavor is amazing. I have to admit, I do need to try the Vanilla Latte by itself.

I'm with you though icucme2, I had a hard time with Kona right out the gate as well as the butterscotch. With the alcohol smell, I was told by kittypie over at Virgin Vapes, some people are sensitive to the alcohol used in the regular Virgin Vapor line of e-liquid ... but you can get rid of the alcohol by letting the bottle sit a couple days with the tops off and a tissue or paper towel over them in a dark, cool place. Then what I did was cap them, shake them, store them. They will sit for the next couple weeks to steep and I will try them again.

I love the kona velvet milkshake, it absolutely rocks out of the gate. I am about to try kona carmel milkshake which has good reviews. Will let you know.

I like Virgin Vapors! Almost any one of their juices will satisfy! The only exception I think is their tobacco blend. I'm not one to knock juice vendors, but that tobacco flavor reminds me of just smoking liquid (the kind you add to barbeque).

I have sensitive tastebuds as well. And VV is one of few vendors I CAN use.

My feeling is most of the juice vendors have all this sweet bakery and candy stuff....I don't want that.

The Absolute line has no alcohol, so it works for me. The organic fruits are just like the fruit itself, jiuicy watermelon or wild watermelon tastes like I took them right out of the garden.! I've tried many other watermelons from many other mixers, not even close.

As for the chocolate, chocolate in general seems to be a tough flavor to reproduce, I haven't found any vendors who do it welll yet......but I mix Death by Chocolate w/other stuff, never alone, so it works great for me. ! It's that true dark high cacao chocolate that I love so much, like what the finer chocolateers make....not cheap hersheys.

Lime tastes just like you licked a lime. The fruits are pretty much perfect to me so far, esp. the Absolute line.

The problem with sweetners is that most of the vendors use artifical sweetner, splenda, etc. and to me that is just another chemical.....not interested.

Alcohol can be steeped out. What can't be steeped out is the chemical and perfumey taste I get from many other vendors.....I just throw it out.

I haven't tried RAWR yet for fruit flavors, but if the stuff tastes like confectionary fruit, ugh.

I think when you go for a jiuce with NO artifical colorings, sweetners, flavors, additives, etc. that is what you get. I eat mostly health food and people think the breads and peanut butters and stuff I eat tastes awful......THAT is because they are used to all the sugar n' such in their food. to me, it all tastes..............wonderful.

i ordered a sampler pack from them and did not know about steeping until a few days later, i tried only their honey nectar guava fresh from the mailbox and i had no idea what that was it was just gross and messed up my sinuses, so im going to steep the rest of the samplers for a while and give them a go later.

for now im vaping their crazy plum as a daily 100%vg extra low nic 5mg and it hits the spot for me.

Hot buttered rum is still too nasty for me,,looks like its going in the trash if it is no better the next time i try it,,

not lookin too good either after 6 months

I tried VV strawberry limeade, but all I tasted was chemical. No flavor at all. I left the cap off for 2 days, and let steep for over a month. Tried it again and exactly the same. I had to dump it as I couldnt even mix it with anything.

Yes, I've tried Kona now and love it. As with all the others, they need steeping for a few weeks for the flavors to shine. I like the choc chip cookie dough too. I revisited original sin after steeping for a LONG time and it's was good too. In the begining it didn't taste like anything lol.

I've tried several several of her flavors as I'm new to vaping and decided to order juices from VV for the fact that it's 100% VG and it all comes in glass bottles (have heard some bad things about plastic bottles). It's a lot of hit and miss with some of the flavors, but I think you must try the Bella Amaretto. Something about that just completes me. I mean really really completes me. Another one of my favs are the French Vanilla. Some not so favs were the Peach, Menthol Moon drops, Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich. The Kona Milkshake coffee.. that was another interesting flavor, not bad, but not my favorite. Try the Amaretto, though!
