V8P Juice contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in reviewing some of their e-liquids and after checking out their
website I was excited. Here's a little snippet from the "about our e-liquids" section of the site.
"All our V8P Juice is Manufactured on site right here in south Florida. We adhear to all current AEMSA, and GMP Standards and only use the best ingredients available when formulating our e-liquids. We use 100% Pure USDA Certified Organic Vegetable Glycerin, a Revolutionary new Bio-based (Plantbased) Propylene Glycol that is derived from Non GMO Corn, and our Specialized Vapor friendly flavors as produced by our Flavorist that do not contain any Diacetyl, Acetyl Propionyl, or other Questionable Flavor notes, Colorants or Additives."
The website is nicely designed, easy to navigate and has lots of good information available on it. V8P Juice sells both e-liquids and their own branded starter pens they call V8PORIZER. The e-liquids are available in 10, or 30ml glass, color coded dropper bottles. (120ml size says "coming soon") The dropper bulb is color coded to indicate the nicotine level.
The info is also on the sides of the bottles. I really like the color coded dropper bulbs. It makes it easy to tell what nic. strength you have at a glance. The bottles are childproof and tamper evident. They were almost Bella proof, I had a hard time breaking the tamper seal but I appreciate that the bottles have that. I also liked that the bottles had a born on date, that made it easy for me to tell that these liquids were already pre-steeped. Prices are $11/10ml and $22/30ml. The house pg/vg blend is 30/70, but the site says you can request a 50/50 ratio if you prefer.
I tried four flavors, two were 6mg nic, and two were 3mg nic. all were tried at the house blend of 30/70 pg/vg ratio.
Sweet Geisha
"Sweet Geisha is our signature Strawberry Milkshake blend."
Sweet Geisha is a creamy strawberry milkshake flavor. I really enjoyed this flavor. It's sweet, creamy and full of flavor. Even in a tank at 70vg. I could taste and enjoy it. On inhale I get a sweet vanilla milk flavor and the strawberry comes in as I inhale and on exhale the flavors blend into a delicious strawberry milkshake. Sweet Geisha quickly became my favorite out of the four flavors I was sent to try.
Latin Lover
"Latin Lover is our Signature Orange Mango Sweet Mint. A Surprisingly refreshing vape, Tastes a lot like an orange tic tac."
I primarily get orange and a little mint, with the mango coming through every once in a while. I usually don't care for orange flavors, but this one is lovely. I think that this is spot on with the orange tic tac description. That's exactly what it reminded me of. It is a light and refreshing vape, well blended and smooth with a clean finish. I could see this one being all day vapeable.
Last Samurai
"Last Samurai is our Signature Watermelon Candy Blend."
This one I didn't really care for. I get some watermelon flavor, but it's not really a watermelon candy flavor like I was expecting. I'm not sure how I'd describe it, it's not a watermelon jolly rancher, maybe like a light watermelon gummy flavor. It's not bad, but after vaping it for several hours I still didn't care for it. That said, even though the flavor wasn't for me, the quality of the e-liquid was the same as the others I tried. It was smooth, without any traces of harshness.
Kings Ransom
"King’s Ransom is our Signature Danish dipped in a Peanut Butter Custard."
Kings Ransom is delicious and complex. I get a light flaky danish with a creamy peanut butter on inhale and peanut butter with hints of coconut and caramel on exhale. Other flavor notes come into the mix as I vape it, but the flavor is so well blended it's hard to pick out what each note is. I really enjoyed this flavor, more so on a dripper than in a tank. On a dripper this flavor shines, I get more of the subtle flavor nuances that didn't come through in a tank. This is the only one that had a marked difference in flavor when I dripped it vs using it in a tank. I couldn't get enough of this flavor on the dripper, but the flavor is somewhat muted in a tank. I think that if you are going to use this in a tank, you should probably request the 50/50 blend for this one.
Overall, I was pretty impressed with the quality of these e-liquids. I found all of them to be pretty flavorful in a tank at 30/70 pg/vg ratio, which was kind of surprising to me as I usually have a hard time tasting e-liquids with that high of a vg level in my tanks. All four flavors were well crafted, smooth and without any harshness. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and time that was put into developing these e-liquids.
