Virgin Vapor is an ejuice company that has been around since at least 2011. They boasts numerous Spinfuel awards and flavors of organic juice.
They use purely organic ingredients with no DEG. No artificial flavorings, no artificial colorings, no
artificial sweeteners. And all of their flavors are USA made and third party
certified organic. (As per their site, for reference.) They use dark, glass bottles and even the 4.3ml sample bottles have tiny glass droppers attached.
Their juice comes in two blends; Virgin Vapor, which has ethyl alcohol
as a base (to give you a PG-free alternative), and Absolute Virgin,
which is an alcohol free, PG/VG base. From the long list of flavors available, like Organic Banana Coconut Colada to Organic Wintergreen (and many in between), and prices like $5.59 and up, it is easy to see why Virgin Vapor appeals to so many.
Sadly, I am not pleased with what I have tried so far, and fail to dive into the "hype" of any company, regardless of cost (or lack thereof) and claims. Personal taste is just that, personal. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone else, unless they are robots or hype-driven sheep.
Now on to the two flavors I have received (Please note that these are both from the ethyl alcohol base or "Virgin Vapor" line):
Organic Banana Coconut Colada:
There is a strong, raw coconut scent with a candied banana mingled in. The taste has a strong alcohol flavor with a coconut follow-through and barely any banana at all. The alcohol, is an ethyl alcohol, the same kind found in alcoholic beverages (which is also known as ethanol). I do not know how I feel about vaping any alcohol though, but to each their own. Once I got over the initial burn, I found the flavor of this juice to be muted and almost "crayon" tasting. (Don't lie, we've all tried a crayon at some point during childhood).
Organic Vanilla Blackberry Swirl:
I get a strong blackberry and cream smell. A true berry smell! Ugh, but that alcohol kills it. It mutes any potential enjoyment of actual flavor and leaves me asking "WHY!?!?". This is a huge let down in my book.
In my opinion, try the "Absolute Virgin" line before jumping into their Virgin Vapor line. Unless you enjoy the taste of alcohol over any real flavor.

Seduce Juice Reviews
I am pretty sure that most of you have heard of Seduce Juice, but for those of you who have not, or are curious about it, here is some information about the company and what they have to offer.
Seduce Juice was founded in 2012, in Charlotte, NC. They started their own line and welcomed other premium juice companies into their fold shortly afterwards.
The Juice Lines that are offered on their site include:
Seduce Juice's Signature Collection
Five Pawns
Five Pawns Mixology
People's Vape
Ruthless
Space Jam Robofuel
Suicide Bunny
High Roller Sweets
And King's Crown
The two flavors I received were:
Snake Oil:
I get a very prominent pear scent, followed by a sweetness that I cannot grasp at the moment. As for taste; I get a nice, sweet pear with a decent creaminess and a slight "ping" of coconut. I actually kind of like this one.
Jezebel:
There is a nice "melon" scent to this one. I get a lot of melon flavor from it. Not just a "melon", but a blend of them. This one is pretty good. I definitely get a honeydew and cantaloupe, plus an added sweetness aspect.
I am inclined to try more of Seduce Juice's line in the near future. Their prices aren't bad at all, ranging from a 10ml for $5.99 up to an 118ml size for $34.99. Their nice levels go from 0mg all the way up to 24mg and they offer the following PG/VG Ratios: 50/50, 30/70, and Max VG.

The Vapor Chef Reviews
The Vapor Chef is a Pennsylvania-based juice company that offers a variety of flavors and categories such as:
Starters - Lighter flavors, fruits
Main course - Tobaccos and rich flavors
Dessert - Sweet and pastry flavors
Frosty - Menthol and frosty vapes
The mixologist was once a chef, who turned to juice making once friends requested that they start selling to the vaping community. And they take pride in the fact that their vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol is USP certified and all their nicotine bases are American made.Their flavorings are also all diacetyl free. And their juices are all fresh when you order and shipped within 72 hours.
I received two-6ml samples; One of Nutty Caramel Apple, and PB Nomnoms. And I will say this... I really do not like the sample bottles. The nozzles gunk up real fast and the bottles are a hard plastic, so they are hard to squeeze.
Nutty Caramel Apple:
I get a nutty smell with light caramel and apple undertones. The most prevalent flavor is the nuttiness. It drowns out the other flavors until they are muted to the point of being barely noticeable. The nuttiness is also very noticeable on the exhale, and it is only slightly accented by a sweetness from the caramel.
PB Nomnoms:
This has a very strong peanut smell, nothing else is noticeable. I am getting a light, semi-sweet peanut taste. There is not much flavor at all. It is very dry and uneventful.
I do not get the "Hype" that The Vapor Chef has acquired. I would have preferred that they have stronger flavoring, personally, with a slight kick to the apple in NCA. But to each, their own.

Mount Baker Vapor Reviews
Mount Baker Vapor is a company known by most vapers. You either like their juice, or you do not. I personally, am not a fan. Not of their standard juice line anyways. I do plan on trying their GWAR line eventually.
However, I do like their customer service. Back when I first started vaping, I had contacted them about something to do with an order I was about to place and I was given a coupon code, just because I had contacted them. They responded quickly and appreciatively, and a month after I had received my order, they sent me another email with yet another coupon code.
Sadly, by that time, I had already began trying the juices I had received, and was not liking them, so I never used it.
Recently, I received two 15ml plastic bottles (with childproof caps) of Mt Baker; Watermelon and Dragonfruit.
(Neither of them have extra flavor shots, just to be clear and they are steeped)
Watermelon:
A very strong, candy watermelon smell. I get a very perfume-y tasting, generic candy watermelon. I really do not like this one. The smell/nasal exhale irritates my sinuses to the point of sneezing.
Dragonfruit:
I do not get much of a scent from this one, except for a faint hint of fruit. Again, I get a very strong chemical taste, with a faint, indiscernible fruit. Not a fan.
Feel free to check them out at: http://www.mtbakervapor.com/
They offer a variety of liquids, DIY stuff, and hardware. As well as free juice on purchases of $15 or more and Free shipping on orders over $50. (Not to mention, that if you are a fan of their juice, they sell 236ml's for $35!)
