Vapor Craft

I won a Vapor Craft sample pack from Vapers.tv not too long ago. It was supposed to be five flavors from their Creamsicle sample pack, but there had been an error and I received two- Georgia Peach Cream, instead of one being a Blueberry Cream, a Bananarama Cream, Smashberry Cream, and Rah Rah Cream. 

I did email Vapor Craft, to let them know what had happened, and that I was not looking for anything out of it, (it was FREE, after-all. An added perk to watching my favorite Vapers.tv host(s)) but I just wanted to make them aware that an error had been made. They responded very quickly and thanked me for letting them know, and that they will be sure to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

When I received the sample pack, it was packaged very well, nice and tight inside of the bubble pack. The five- 3ml bottles were inside of a baggy that fit them perfectly, and there were no leaks.

Along with the sample pack, was an envelope, with my name on it, and a card inside:

Hand-written!

And now, the flavors!

Bananarama Cream:
I get a creamy banana taffy smell, not over-powering, but subtle. The flavor itself reminds me of a some-what muted banana creamsicle. The right banana was definitely used in this. And the creamy aspect gives it a decent mouthfeel.

Smashberry Cream:
A very nice and noticeable berry scent. (Red, Black, and Blueberry) This is a very smooth and refreshing vape. When heated up, the smell reminds me of a berry/fruity gum. It kind of has a mixed berry, cotton candy taste with a mildly creamy followthrough. I really like this one.

Georgia Peach Cream:
This has a very soft peach smell to it. The peach in this is reminiscent to a peach ring candy with less sugar. It is a soft, semi-sweet vape with a mildly-creamy followthrough.

Rah Rah Cream:
A very noticeable blueberry scent with pomegranate undertones. The taste is a smooth pomegranate with a creamy yet noticeable blueberry and cream finish. However the pomegranate does come back around and seems to overpower the blueberry a little. I'm not a fan of pomegranate, so this one isn't for me.

Oh! Did I mention that these guys are the ones with the FogFuel line as well as the Privatis line?

I personally will be placing an order soon to try them!

Blue Diamond Vapors

I got a 15ml bottle of my choosing from Blue Diamond Vapors on vapers.tv a few months ago, along with the rest of the viewers of that particular show. I ended up choosing Bavarian Cream, as I have never tried a simple Bavarian Cream juice before and figured that it was worth a shot.

The bottle itself is a 15ml squeeze bottle with a white child-proof cap, and a blunt nozzle.

The label has:
 Blue Diamond logo
 Blue Diamond Vapors below it
The Flavor name
Premium E-Liquid
Nicotine Warning
Ingredient listing
Nicotine mg
Bottle size
and what I am assuming to be the Batch Number.

With that said, I do not think that I am a Bavarian Cream kind of gal... But I will try it from a few other vendors before deciding whether or not I am a fan.

So here it goes:

Bavarian Cream - They describe it as a "whipped Swiss vanilla custard" on their site. A soft and sweet-creamy smell. There is a decent, creamy mouthfeel to this one, but very little flavor. While the creamy-ness has a pleasantly light warmth to it, there could be so much more flavor. In my opinion, it needs more of an "eggy" custard in it to bring out the true Bavarian Cream that it has the potential to be.

(And yes, I am aware that it is a "Cream" and most creams are weak as stand-alone flavors.)

Forgive the wrinkles, the mailman is never kind to any packages I receive.

Brewer's Vape Shop Reviews

 Brewer's Vape Shop is a family owned business developed to help out Vapers. Owned and operated by the Brewer's, they offer a wide variety of flavors and sample packs, as well as educational pages this site so that you can know what PG and VG is and you can also see where all of their ingredients come from.They also offer the ability to completely customize your own juice as well as a sample pack for every budget.

Link to:  Sampler Packs

I personally purchased the 10-10ml sample pack, and due to a system error that deleted my last flavor, they included a free 10ml to my order. Not to mention that they had notified me quickly of what had happened, and the shipping was very fast (and free with all sample packs!)

It was $28.00 with free shipping for the entire order. The 10ml plastic bottles are easy to squeeze, have childproof caps, and blunt tip nozzles. I had a small problem with some of the bottles. The nozzles would pop right off and stay in the cap, so I had to close the bottle up and press down really hard to get the nozzle to pop back into place.

The labels are white sticker labels with a myriad of information on them, such as:
Company name
Purchaser's name
Flavor name
PG/VG Blend
Nicotine strength
Nicotine Warning
Ingredients list (down to the ml amount)
Blended Date

Now bear in mind... Not everyone is going to enjoy every juice they order from a vendor. With that said, there were a few that I just did not like, and others that, with a little tweaking, hold a great amount of potential. With the customization menu, I can go in and try to tweak it to my liking.

Now for the Juice that I ordered... I requested 6mg, 25/75 PG/VG blends of the following flavors (their standard blends):

Nutella - I can smell dark chocolate straight from the bottle with a wisp of Hazelnut.It is a smooth vape, but the only flavor I get is the Hazelnut. I will have to order this with an extra flavor shot or two of the Dark Chocolate.

Dragonfruit - A very soft, fruity scent. This is a very mellow fruit flavor. I've never tried a dragonfruit vape before and it isn't bad, but it could use an extra shot or two of flavoring, as it is very light and delicate.

Belgian Waffle - This one has a very deliciously distinct smell. It literally smells like a warm plate of waffles, without fruit. It vapes very dry. It's flavor is a little perfume-y and while the scent is spot on (sans fruit), the flavor could use a revamp. I am not a fan of this one.

Hazelnut Praline - I get a semi-sweet Hazelnut smell, right off of the bat. Another dry vape with a hint of sweetness which is almost immediately lost in the hazelnut flavoring. It could definitely use a bit more sweetener. The hazelnut flavoring is pretty good in any case, but this is supposed to be Hazelnut Praline.

Butter Pecan - A nice, sweet, nutty scent. I can taste the dry, nuttiness of the Pecan flavoring with a faint hint of sweetness. I am not getting the "dessert" aspect of it at all, just slightly-sweetened pecans. There is also a little "buttery-ness" on the exhale.

Banana Nut Bread - I can only describe the scent as a warm banana nut bread. One that is cooled down "just enough" to dig in. The pecan nuttiness of it is the dominant flavor, overpowering the already light banana flavor and the semi-sweet "bread" aspect. I think that the pecan flavoring could be a tad less, with a flavor boost to the banana aspect.

Toasted Marshmallow - The scent is definitely a lightly-toasted marshmallow. It is a very mellow flavor...it could use a little touch of a "sweet cream" type of flavor, to give it a slightly sweeter, full bodied vape. It just kind of falls flat.

Coconut Cream Pie - The only scent I get from this is an almost "perfume-y" Coconut. I get a mild coconut flavor, accented by a light, sweet cream. I do not get a "crust" or toasted coconut aspect at all. I would have to describe this as a flaked coconut mixed with a soft and lightly sweetened cream.

Pumpkin Spice - This scent makes me want to start baking. I catch whiffs of individual spices that blend well. There is a slight "soapy" aftertaste that really turns me off from vaping any more of it. Sorry! If it didn't have that soapy aftertaste, this would be perfect!

Sugar Cookie - I smell a nice, sweet sugar cookie! The flavor seems to be a little muted. There is definitely a creamy finish. It has a very mellow taste, not enough to give very distinctive flavor notes, except for what I believe to be a light and creamy, buttery note. Additional flavor shots are needed to get an accurate flavor profile.

Tiramisu - There is a strong rum smell with a creamy background. On taste: The rum is a bit overpowering. Maybe a tiny bit of coffee and a bit of cream and vanilla. The rum aspect is more of a generic liquor. I was expecting a stronger coffee, cream, and a teeny-tiny bit more in sweetener.

Killer Juice Reviews

Killer Juice is a company that seems dedicated to making good, quality, natural juice as well as flavoring for those vapers who make their own ejuice. They also sell pg/vg bases, with or without nicotine, and empty bottles.

There are various sections on their website, such as:

Pre-Steeped EJuice Menu, which contains the following groups: Bakery, Cafe Killer, Candy Shop, Fruits, Soda Shop, and Tobacco.

Exclusive Flavors includes Anti-Venom, Blue Moon Ice Cream, Boblo's Vanilla Custard, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Shamrock Shake, Volt, and White Chocolate Tobacco Blend.

The last section offers all of their DIY (or Do-It-Yourself) supplies I mentioned earlier.

There bottle options are: 15ml Plastic Bottles*, 15ml Glass Bottles with Dropper, 30ml Plastic Bottles, 30ml Glass Bottles with Droppers, 120ml Bulk Plastic Bottles, and 240ml Plastic Bottles.

Their Nicotine strengths are: 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 mg.

PG/VG Ratio appears to be a 50/50 proprietary blend.

Prices vary per size of each bottle like: 15ml Plastic Bottle is generally $4.99, 15ml Glass Bottle with dropper is $5.99, 30ml plastic is $8.99, 30ml Glass bottle with dropper is $9.99, 120ml Bulk Plastic Bottle is $24.99, 240ml Bulk Plastic bottle is $39.99. The prices may differ on exclusive flavors, but all in all, their prices are very reasonable.

I happened to take advantage of a sale that they seem to have quite frequently, a .99 Cent sale on a few flavors each week or so. The flavors they had up on this sale at the time were five Milkshake flavors which included their Shamrock Shake. I ordered not only the Shamrock, but Strawberry, Peach, Vanilla, and Chocolate Milk Shake.

Shamrock Shake: Upon inhale, I get a delicious minty breeze over my tastebuds, and upon exhale, a full-bodied creaminess comes around and blends with the mintiness, completing the "Shamrock Shake" flavor. This is a very smooth vape and one I have really enjoyed. Be aware that this ejuice is also a lot like the milkshake in that it is only available for a limited time!

Strawberry Milkshake: Each Milkshake blend seems to have similar traits, such as; main flavor is light on inhale, on exhale, the same milkshake creaminess comes through with a stronger main flavor blended well for a full-bodied vape. I'll simply describe the actual main flavor notes, rather than seemingly typing out only slight variations. The main flavor in this is of course strawberry. It is not a "true" ripe strawberry, there's some sweetness, and no tartness to it. It makes a pretty good milkshake blend.

Peach Milkshake: The peach in this juice isn't very sweet, nor is it over-powering. If you were to take a candy peach ring, get rid of the sugar crystals and tone down the over-all flavor but a smidge, that is what this peach tastes like. It mixes well with the milkshake flavoring.

Vanilla Milkshake: This is a very nice, smooth vanilla that blends well with the milkshake flavoring as well. I hate to sound like a broken record, but as I stated previously, they aren't much different from each other except for the main flavor.

And last, but not least, Chocolate Milkshake: I saved this one for last, as it is a very strong, dark-esque chocolate flavoring. With the milkshake background, it is a very potent, yet delicious mix of flavor. It doesn't have that tartness that rich dark chocolate has, but it is close.

* The 15ml plastic bottles do not have childproof caps. I am not sure about the other sized bottles as I have only ordered the 15ml plastic bottles that you see below. Also, what you see in the pictures below, are what you get on the labels. A picture describing whichever flavor is in the bottle, Killer Juice and it's symbol (Venomous snake's head, fangs extended), and nicotine level. On the other side of the flavor's image, is a barcode, nothing more.
