I just received my package from VaporBomb today and was pumped to try out Fire N Ice and a couple of the V Coolers. I have been a menthol smoker for a long time, so needless to say, I was really looking forward to tasting the Icy menthol mixed with these flavors. But, there was no ice to be found. :(

I started with a Grape Cooler, I got a subtle grape on the inhale, but the exhale was bland. I could taste the creamyness of the VG, but no flavor at all. I swapped batteries and even tried the PT, no luck. My 801 usually has great flavor. So I thought maybe the flavor is just weak, so I switched attys and tried the Fire n Ice. Same thing, the sweet tingly candy cinnamon at the beginning, but then nothing. I even tried it with a brand spanking new atty, no change.

I like the sweet flavor to start but the lack of any cooling Ice feels like a total let down.

I haven't tried your flavors but on my first order from VB all of my flavors were very weak when I tried them that first day. A week later they had all gained a much stronger great taste that I was looking for. Today I recieved another order and again all my flavors tasted very weak when I tried each of them so I know they need to steep for a week before their taste will really come through.

I ordered 3 V Coolers from VB a few weeks ago. They actually forgot to make mine Coolers. They were just the regular flavors. Of course VB corrected the issue as soon as I let me know. My corrected flavors came and I could smell and taste the ice right away...mine didnt need to steep at all.

I will tell you this...the fire n ice should not need steeping--at least it didnt for me. That is one excellent juice right out of the mailbox.

Maybe give VB a shout out and see what they have to say--they will let you know what flavors need steeping and what ones dont.

I will also note that I dont vape 100% vg. Mine are all mixed at 50/50 so that may make a difference.

GOOD LUCK.

I'm going to let them sit a couple more days and see how it goes, if after that there is still no Ice in them I'll contact VaporBomb. I'd think that the menthol would be a strong enough flavor it would be readily noticeable even without letting them steep.

As for the amount of VG, I don't vape 100% VG either. I'm used to pure PG, however I've been switching to an 80/20 mixture for the creamy softer texture to the vapor.

Thanks for all your feedback!

Wow.......haven't ever had a a bad juice from VB. They are the vendor of choice for me. I've tried many different juices and have built up a good stash for PIF. There are some of VB's juices that I just don't like but then again my personal taste comes into play, not the strength of the flavor. Guess I'm just to dang picky as I have only found a few flavors that I can honestly vape at all and they are all VB's.

I would definitely contact Harry. He is a stand-up guy and will not let you go disappointed. Not from personal experience, but from everything I've seen here.

Well, I used the contact form on their website explaining what I did above. I look forward to hearing back from them. I guess I pass the time and try the White Chocolate sample they included.

I will mention, I do have a bottle of menthol and added a drop when I dripped the Fire N Ice and it was really good, so I do see awesome potential :)

VB will replace them!! Honestly they are a stand up company. I think they get so crazy busy sometimes--People make mistakes. To me a company proves how excellent they are not only when they send you stellar juice all the time, but when on the off chance they make a mistake they go above and beyond to correct it. give em a day or two--you will hear from them.

I like it so much I've ordered an eGo USB PT battery so I can experience it at 5v. What ever it is that you do to create this amazingly magical elixir - "keep on keepin on" :vapor:

I just got my package from VaporBomb, and opened it up. I used a fresh atty and dripped about 4 drops, and I'm happy to say I found the Ice. I started with the Grape Cooler (wanted to avoid cinnamon mouth right off the bat) and I get a nice strong grape taste and the cooling at the back of the throat. This is what I was sooo looking forward to and Harry and the folks at Vb are the bomb! I will definitely be ordering again!
