The Kona Coffee Milkshake DEFINITELY gets a little 'smoother' with a few days of vaping. And I am a HUGE VV fan. Those are seriously the only juices I'll ever spend money on again. Might try another 100% Organic VG if they sound intriguing, just for comparisons sake, but i am well and truly over the moon with the VV flavors. And I think I'm understanding what you mean about the 'unusual' taste. For me, they definitely tasted unique just because the flavors are so COMPLEX, with differing taste notes on inhale and exhale. Really amazing! But yeah, for the first few days it took a little getting used to just because I'm used to stuff tasting so uniform and basic, so all those added pings of different flavors were wild. I officially could not do without em, though! BTW, I highly recommend the Blueberry Cheesecake and Sweet Summer Lemonade! Soooo delicious, and the flavors literally taste exactly like melted food product, not a simulated flavor.
Though new to VirginVapor, I'm definitely leaning in your direction, orachel.
You know how when you take your first drag on some juices, your brain says to you, "Oh crud, another juice that tastes like it was made by some enthusiastic but ignorant child with a cheap chemistry set." Or, to use another analogy, it's the taste/flavor equivalent of looking at a painting made by an amateur using one of those paint-by-number kits.
With VV, my brain said to my palate, "Wait a minute. I'm not sure we like this, but there's definitely something going on here worth considering. So hold off on that knee-jerk negative reaction and just wait awhile. Give it a chance."
After ten days, the Kona Coffee Milkshake has matured nicely (or I have---can't really tell which), and is now quite delicious. By contrast, the Chocolate Cake hasn't come around yet---I bought a 30ml bottle that I parse out a little bit at a time into a 3ml bottle, and I'm still adding a drop or two of Capellas Double Chocolate flavor concentrate when I refill the 3ml that I use to top off the dual-coil carto I'm using for the Chocolate Cake. That's working just fine, but I trust Hairball and believe her post about that particular juice needing a full month of steeping, so I'm looking forward to enjoying it unadulterated.
Like many of us, I have a list of "respected" vendors---meaning that I may not like every juice made and sold by a certain vendor, but I admire the art and craft that go into his/her product. That list is getting fairly substantial for me. It contains some old standbys---
BackwoodsBrew, AlienVisions, VaporStation, Want2Vape, VapeRite---from the early days of my year-long vaping journey, then also vendors who showed up along the way and are now standards for me---
NiteLiteVapor, PrimeVaping, VermillionRiver, CopperCreek, Vapealicious---and finally the most recent additions---
Sweet-Vapes, Moondrop.
Looks like I'll be inviting VirginVapor to join that club. Oh, my aching wallet! Even if I only need two or three juices from each vendor in my stash, when added to all the garbage juices I've tried over the past year, the result is numerous large cabinets of juice that sit like monoliths in my living room. Like having my own storefront. You know, I've gotten pretty darned good at DIY juice-making, but then along comes another wonderful, talented artisan juice-making alchemist vendor, and out comes the debit card. And eventually another big four-drawer cabinet. LOL.
