Just got twelve bottles of juice from Vape Wild, and only one (McDelicious) tastes good right now. Obviously, they need to steep, but I just wondered if it's normal that the couple others I tried taste like a dead fish was marinating in the VG they used to make my juice. WTH? Did I get a bad batch? Did they go fishing and forget to wash their hands before mixing? Holy heck, it's awful, and now I have to rewick, because the flavor won't go away even after cleaning my tank and filling it with straight clove juice. The rotten fish is still coming out loud and clear... I think I'm gonna horf!

A friend tried it and was disgusted, too, so it's not just my taste buds. I have more than 80 bottles of juice, and I know many taste bad before steeped. But it's always been a chemical flavor, not this...

Nothing worse than being happy when your new juice arrives and it stinks. You get everything ready, you load it up, and you try it. It's funny but it's not funny when the first words that comes out of your mouth is "That's Disgusting" lol I usually try to convince myself nooooo it's not that bad while my son is choking on it while he tries it telling me that it stinks. So I try to cover it up so it doesn't look like I wasted my money on bum juice. I'm the parent and supposed to be the smart one !

What flavors? To me, the cheesecake or creamy flavors taste like soured milk until they are properly steepd and then they taste great.
Sometime two to three weeks steeping does wonders for their creamy flavors.

Yup, it was the creamy ones... "Sweet & Creamy" and "Sweet Complexity" were the worst. Sweet Salmon Entrails is what they should call 'em.

Nearly everything I got from them was absolutely horrific at every stage of steeping, even the ones everyone seemed to like such as sweet complexity. Vanilla Clouds and Rice Krispies were the only one that were even vapeable, and even so they were pretty bad. ITCVapes and Casey Jones Mainline Reserve have been my go to for good liquid on the cheap side for awhile, not a single bad flavor from them yet. I'm with you I'm not sure how the hype over vape wild is even possible honestly, but I took the bait, maybe it's like cilantro where some people love it and some people hate it?

Add me to the list of those who say this company is not for me.
I am seasoned on cheaper juices too - a MBV fan, I know to air
and steep everything. I just don't get the hype from the select
few who rave on and on, then the rest don't like any of them.
I noticed straight off the reviews on the website are a little too
detailed and good too. Like the same person wrote them.
If nothing else there is a huge quality control issue on their juice,
lots of mistakes being made in mixing. Maybe they will take
notice and get that taken care of.
If anyone enjoys the juice, congrats. As for me, I'll stick
with what I know. :vapor:

Well Hanny, pretty clearly the liquid shouldn't smell or taste of fish at any stage of its life. At this point, I've tried 36 of their flavors (and re-ordered two, with more to come), and thankfully that never happened to me. I don't think I'd even have given them a chance to fix it if it happened on order #1, though at this point in my good dealings with them I'd sure raise some heck to find out what went wrong. Though I haven't liked all my tryouts, I've never had any sort of QC issue...been lucky I guess.

You liked the McDelicious! I couldn't quite handle it at first...bacon bits, maple and biscuit flavor. I let the bottle sit for more than two months, and it changed a bit so I could finish it off. I actually enjoyed it at the end, but I had to be in a certain mood.

Yea baby!

Fresh fish squeezins. Mmmm mmmmm

Which flavor did you have this experience with?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one. A person feels safe buying flavors they enjoy. Things that taste good in real life. Low and behold, some .....hole marinates a rotten fish corpse in your VG. You seem like a nice person. Why would they do that to you?!:laugh:

Which flavor did you have this experience with?

Rotten fish. I suppose it's better than straight poo. Or perfum ala skunk, lol

Would you like to share more info regarding the flavors that you have tried.

All I hear is a lot of bashing and no substance

I guess you are a fan i take it.
The first two comments you quoted were not aimed at any company at all They were just humor and empathy

Im glad we have so many post police around here to tell us what we should and shouldn't say. With out them the place would be in shambles in no time!

I've never had any their juices. I got a sample pack coming in soon though. Does that make me a fan?
If you're going to bash a company, you can at least have a decency of sharing your experience

It's my opinion from trying Vanilla Cloud, On Cloud Custard, Sweet Complexity or
whatever the name is, Banana something, and Fruit Hoops. Problem with that?
Look everyone's tastes are different, and that's okay. If it works for you that's
all that matters, enjoy. As for me I threw most of it in the trash.
Edit: And Tiramisu, forgot I tried that one too. I really wanted to like that one.

I wanted to like them too, but ew.
I'm not sure why all the excuses and bashing from people who have a
difference of opinion. Aren't we all on the same side here? Get a
grip everyone.
