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 agree, it's a matter of what we're used to and what we perceive to be the real deal. I've had a truly delicious cake called Death by Chocolate at a restaurant once....I mean I thought I died and went to dessert heaven LOL because it was just the right amount of sweet and bitter chocolate (real and not cheap hershey's
) with perfect moistness..., omg I'm drooling just thinking of that dessert ...sigh. So I expected that taste when I vaped the flavor by the same name but it was bitter disappointment I had only tried this vape alone and not mixed with other flavors so I'll have to keep experiementing with it. In general, after steeping for many weeks, most of VV flavors are quite good. In fact, I'd love it if ALL vape flavors from every vendor did not have artificial ingredients! [As an aside, I have a BIG bottle of organic all natural ejuice called Zebra (and a few other flavors) from a different vendor which are only a few months old and they look like black tar now. They came in a plastic bottles and I'm wondering if something tainted the liquid or the plastic leached...so I'm throwing it all out LOL and won't be re-ordering from that vendor.] Most vendors have a few liquids that I like or love, then when I reorder other/new flavors I get disappointed, but that seems to be the way of it all the time, every vendor. They can't please everybody all the time right!
Now I'm curious about the Absolute fruits...maybe I'll have to order another couple sample packs. Watermelon from the garden! omg I love watermelon but have not tried that flavor from anywhere yet. How long do you steep the fruit flavors before they're "ready?" What's the best delivery device for acidic fruits? ...I've cracked a few clearos vaping some lemon-lime etc. that I DIY'd LOL
I'm especially curious about the new Tobacco line
