I placed an order with Viking Vapor on 3/14. I've been getting my juice from V4L, and I love their stuff, but I couldn't keep ordering 5ml bottles waiting for them to restock the bigger bottles. So I decided to branch out. After reading the positive reviews of Viking, I decided to give them a shot. The website mentioned that due to the high volume of orders they've been getting, it may have been a day or two before the order shipped. So I waited a day or two, but still no shipping email.

When I went to check out the site, this is what I found Viking Vapor(or, when the site's back up, they're be a handy link in my review!). Rut roh. Here's the Viking Vapor ECF Post that explains things a little further.

I was a little concerned, but the next day I received an email from Larry explaining that several orders shipped, several orders were canceled, and a small batch that included mine were in limbo. He assured me that once my funds were released he would get my order out ASAP. Sure enough, my order shipped the next day.

I ordered Chocolate, Fudge Brownie, S'mores, Chocolate Banana (I like chocolate, can you tell?) for myself, and Blackberry Cola, Cola, Apricot for my wife. We also got a bottle of Hawaiian Mesquite, because it sounded too interesting to pass up. All are 18mg, and an 80/20 PG/ VG mix.


This juice is fantastic. Tons of vapor, and a really satisfying TH. The flavors are strong, and overall are pretty accurate.


Chocolate-I fell in love with V4L's Dark Chocolate, which I never would have guessed that chocolate would be my favorite flavor. Viking's chocolate is different. It's got a strong chocolate flavor, definitely along the lines of a Tootsie Roll. It's a little sweeter than I'd like (V4L's Dark Chocolate taste more like hot cocoa), but overall pretty good, and excellent when mixed with a few drops of Spearmint.

Chocolate Banana
-I was really excited to try this. As far as food goes, I love chocolate & bananas. As far as vape goes...not so much. It has a very good blend of chocolate & bananas, but the flavor is much too sweet for me. I can't really say I'm disappointed, the flavor is strong, and it truly tastes like chocolate & bananas. It's just not my thing.

S'mores-This is another one that fits the Chocolate Banana category. Flavor is strong, and pretty accurate. The graham cracker flavor kind of overwhelms everything else, and again it's a very sweet flavor. I love S'mores the food much more than the vape.

Fudge Brownie-This has a distinctly different flavor than the regular chocolate. I haven't vaped it enough to say whether I like it or not, but I'll get back to you all on this one.

Blackberry Cola-Tried a puff or two of this flavor. It has a very strong fruit flavor to it, with a hint of cola. To me, it almost tastes like a grape otter pop. The fruity flavors are too much sweet for me. I like them for a few puffs, but no way I could vape on that all day. That said, my wife loves the Blackberry Cola.

Still need to give the last 3 flavors a shot, I'm very interested in the Hawaiian Mesquite, which was described as a smokey mesquite flavor mixed with pineapple on the website.

*Update*Hawaiian Mesquite-Okay, so after posting this, I decided to give the Hawaiian Mesquite a go. Definitely an interesting flavor combination. It comes in with a strong, sweet pineapple flavor, and finishes with the mesquite. I can't think of any other way to describe the mesquite flavor than...beef jerky. Mesquite smoked beef jerky of course, but it tastes exactly like beef jerky to me. Not my favorite.

Despite the fact that the flavors aren't exactly hitting the mark because of my tastes, Viking's juice is still excellent quality. I'm still just finding my way in terms of flavors.

The verdict for me...Viking Vapor is going to be my other go to juice supplier along with V4L. The juice is very good. The selection of flavors is insane. And the customer service I received during their recent difficulties was top notch. Once they're back up & running, I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot.

I was happy with my order also and at those prices it's a no brainer to find a few you like and get stocked up.

Hopefully Larry will get the site back up and running soon.

I loved their Banana creme, watermelon, cotton candy and cola and when I reorder I will get the big bottles this time.

If he can manage to keep the amazing prices I will be a longtime customer.
 
I just recieved my first order from Viking Vapor, and all I can say is Wow. Selection, great prices, tasty liquids, quality (they vape wonderfully) also, not off or weird flavored as I have had with some suppliers. Made exactly how you ask. Shipping took only a couple of days. I ordered, coconut, cotton candy, marshmallow, Cinn. bun, menthol/tobacco, coke..all wonderful, can't wait to order more flavors. This will be my new e-liquid supplier for sure! Ladyhawk55 ego/tornado

How was that cinn bun? I placed an order over the weekend with Viking Vapor and I'm hoping their cinn bun is spot on.

I got 10 different flavors from them last week and I'm pretty impressed myself. The juice is excellent quality. Not all the flavors are my cup of tea, but for only $3 a pop, it's really cheap to experiment. I will definitely be buying some big bottles of the Black Licorice, Mocha and Vanilla Cola the next time I place an order, along with another big batch of samples.

Just got my second order from Viking. Good stuff.

What I found from my first order was that I liked the regular chocolate, but the fudge brownie was too sweet for me. I also like the chocolate banana, and the s'mores will do in a pinch. It was the fudge brownie flavor that really overpowered everything.

Got bigger bottle of the chocolate, some chocolate mint, and some mint.

Chocolate mint is tasty. Haven't broken into the regular mint yet. I was a little disappointed with my last V4L order, and Viking has definitely become my go to juice source.

I will def be making a juice order with them around the 10th when I have some money.. So far mostly what I have had is the Dekang juice from China and my own DIY stuff.

I have like 300ml of Dekang lying around and I do feel something is lacking and I alsmost just want to chuck it all out. it does help a little if I add some candy flavorings to each one to match... Is there a BIG difference between this juice and the Dekang? I really want more flavor and less chemical taste and these prices are incredible compared to other US makers and I like that I could get little samples to try first.. With Dekang you have to buy in bulk.

Also.. has anyone tried the Graham Cracker by itself? Does it taste good? That would be a great one to have to mix with if it's true to flavor. Is it good all by itself?

Oh! Also.. the doubler flavor with VV.. is it like the doublers I have read about with no nic. or is this doubler option mean double the flavor? That sounds fantastic if it's just double the flavor.. it what do they do for the throat hit options. I wish there was a FAQ on the site explaining this stuff.

The flavor is strong, and there isn't much "chemical" taste.

I've got several good sized bottles from some other vendors, and I still just made another Viking order. Flavor is much better.

Haven't tried straight Graham Cracker, but the S'mores has a pretty strong Graham Cracker flavor. Good, a little sweet, but not to bad.

Incidentally, looking back on my original review, it was the fudge brownie that I didn't like. Once I went back, love the chocolate, really like the chocolate banana, and s'mores is okay, but not an all day vape for me.

Love the chocolate mint that I got with my last order, and I've got some other interesting things on the way.

I REALLY want a good chocolate flavor. I will have to try the chocolate mint. I LOVE chocolate mint candies. I am also a big fan of banana.. I vape the dekang banana on a semi-regular basis, but I know it can be better.

I'm making my first order to Viking on the 10th and when I get them I'll write a review.

So far I want:
Graham Cracker (maybe it will help as a mix for some of the Dekang flavors I need to get through)
Chocolate Mint
And Looks like I need to try the cinn. bun too:)

I plan on getting about 10 sample bottles. Does the doubler option mean double flavor?

Here's what's so awesome to me about VV. I was looking into doing some DIY and started calculating the costs.

I found a 30 ml bottle of 100mg nic I liked and assumed was pretty good quality for $30.

For me that is 4 oz (or 120ml) of 25mg juice for $7.50 plus the flavor and some extra pg or vg so lets call it $8.00.

$8.00 to DIY or $10 to just order it from VV and let somebody that knows what they are doing to make my liquid for me.

I guess you can prolly find cheaper 100mg base liquid for cheaper but still it's a crazy good deal to order from VV.

My favs so far are banana creme, cola, blueberry, cotton candy and red bully.

To me being able to order a 7.5 ml sample bottle in which I can customize the flavor, TH, thickness and pg/vg mix is raising the bar.

I do wish he would look into getting a proper tobacco type flavor because I really don't like the hickory flavor at all but so far from looking at peoples reactions to it it's pretty popular.

Just to let you guys know, Larry is using This thread as a Viking Vapor subforum of sorts.


From his update this morning River...

Tobacco Flavors should arrive in approximately one week!!!! (Finally found a flavor supplier I like). Look forward to Mar-Boh, Mar-Boh Light, Virginia Fire Cured and Menthol Tobacco to come immediately thereafter. 555 and RY4 to follow in the near future. Incidentally once these arrive I will add a comment to the Signature Smoke line stating that you can have these new tobacco's added since it will have a much more distinct taste than the previously used.
