Verde Valley Vapes - My search for the best budget juice has ended
- Thread starter Jeffro2700

Im not sure if everyone does what I do with new juice....
I open them and try them out. Then even if I dont think they need steeping I give the bottle a warm bath, shake the shit out of each of them. Then I open the caps and let them sit open in a cool place for 6 hours, usually over night time then I close them up and shake them again....Then when I remember to I open them to reciprocate the air and then shake them one last time.....this is a good way to speed up the process and have them steeped faster.

V³'s Blueberry Custard gets more custardy after a while.I prefer it fresh out of the mailbox.My wife likes more steeped.
Not a custard fan really.But the Best I've ever had is probably (Swag by Nick's Blissful Brews) or (Table Dancer by Insane Eliquid).Both are linked below.

EDIT: OOPS FORGOT TO MENTION VAZILLA BY G2.
http://www.giantvapes.com/vazilla/
I've been putting this off for a while. I've been vaping Casey Jones Mainline Reserve for a couple years straight; love alot of their flavors. Very affordable at ~$25 for 120mls. However, after buying the Boreas, I knew I would need to find something less expensive. I placed my first order a couple months ago, and another one a couple weeks after that. Both orders were 7 100ml bottles.
V3 has kind of been a mixed bag for me. I had the weirdest experience with Krunchy Berries and Tricky Rabbit. When I first tried them I was stoked, very yummy. Since then, they've gone from "meh" to "eww". I even tried in my second order (I made my first order before I had received my Boreas, and bought too much 6mg) to get some more Krunchy Berries, in 3mg this time, unfortunately I still don't like it. I can't even describe the flavor. Plasticy? Idk. I gave them away, and my friend didn't enjoy them either.
The Bananas: I've tried Banana Fosters and Banana Creme Pie. BF has more of a Runts flavor, while BCP is more ripe bananas. Never really got any of the "background" flavors from BF, sadly. BCP was good enough to reorder in 3mg, but a bit light on flavor. Maybe next time a flavor shot?
Cinnamon Creme: sweet, light cinnamon, very tastey. Doesn't knock my socks off, but probably worth a reorder. I prefer John Henry from CJMR, but JH is a much stronger flavor, and I love to mix just a bit of it with other flavors. For vaping straight, I probably prefer Cinnamon Creme.
Key Lime Pie: this one seemed to fall off a bit for me too... still enjoyable, tho. I'm getting the graham crust and the creamyness. I can't vape it for very long; I really enjoy it at first, then it gets annoying? One of the wife's favorites, will probably reorder at some point.
Strawberry Milkshake: I don't really feel like this one got a very fair shake, as I only have it in 6mg. I enjoyed it a lot at first. Like many of V3's juices, a bit light on flavor.
Raspberry Custard: another one I can't vape too long. A long steep has helped, tho. Liking it more as timr goes by. May reorder at some point.
Vanilla Custard Creme: Needs a couple weeks, but after that, it's GREAT! A little bit light on flavor, but it's fine, really. Mixes well with other things. One of the best things ive ever tasted is a mix of about 90% this, and 10% Rhapsody from De-Ja Juice. Phenomenal! Just reordered a 240 of this.
Piña Colada: if you can get over the "warm Piña Colada" weirdness, this is amazing! Love this sooo much, sweet and creamy, and nails the flavor perfectly. 240 on the way!
Blueberry Custard: OMG, I love this stuff!!! Best blueberry I've had from anyone. I get amazing blueberry pannycakes; great fresh out the box, and gets even better. Ive been rationing this, but with a 240 on the way, no need for that anymore. Vaping it right now and I can't get enough!
Just placed an order for 2200mls that I'm splitting with a friend, with a bunch of the new flavors, including Glazed Donut, Peanut Butter Custard, Grape Geeks, Lemon Cheesecake, PBC, Nootella, and Apple Jerks. Looking forward to it!

Im pretty excited for the new flavors also....I think Krunch Berries has definitely changed in the last few orders and I dont like the direction its going...Ilike the first 6 orders I had of it and since then there much less berry and I loved the berry in it...Raspberry Custard is still one of my favorites and same with Strawberry Milkshake
Great writeup, lol, warm pina colada... yeah now you mention it due to heating your jucie to 500° it's like a pina colada that you left out in the sun for 30 min.
That one is pretty good, getting better with time. Key lime pie too.
I got a flavor shot this time but flavor still seems a bit lite at least for how I like a mix. Better than no shot though.

Raspberry Custard is the bomb. Waiting for juice as I'm at the end of 600ml of it.

Just got my order in today and am stoked. I have two new flavors to try out. Pebblez and Strawberry doughnut. I was going to let the doughnut steep for a bit but I might go ahead and try it later tonight after I get at least a few tanks of Tricky Rabbit in.
I really am excited to try their custard stuff and cereal flavors. I usually dont like fruity stuff but ordered some anyway and was dissapointed so now I have to wait for my juice to come in lol. I really hope the tricks rabbits and krunchy berries is delicious. I like cereal juice as long as its creamy and kind of desserty.
Froopers tastes exactly like (Cereal Number by D²).Lots of milky goodness with a cereal kick.
The "light on flavor" is kind of V3's MO, and it's why I like it so much. I vape primarily these higher powered setups where I get a dense thick vapor production, so with a stronger flavor it's just too much. That's always something I mention when recommending this company, it's a more subtle flavor than many other companies. That said there are flavor shots for a handful of the flavors which might be worth trying if that's what you like (as always B-boy listening to his customers and added that to a handful a while back).
Just got my sampler in today, I don't like giving feedback without seeing what steeping does to it but so far all of the ones I have tried are either great or have potential. I think the Watermelon Geeks will replace my Wubbabubba for satisfying that sugar craving, and the Chocolate Donut while not great right now I have a feeling it'll develop like the Peanut Butter Cup and I'll end up vaping it regularly. Finally got the Pina Colada though, and ohh my. Half through my initial testing (had to set up my new Tres Equis + Petri clones with a nice flavor testing naked FC first) and things are tasting good, then it'll be packing them away for a week or two and test again.
Anyways, quoted to say that I know they changed the recipes on a bunch of stuff a while back to get all the Dasgageaws (I can't remember how to spell it) chemical out, last I saw only the Honey Milk has it and they were working on a new recipe for it. Personally I'm not concerned with that chemical at all, but the flavors that I've noticed have changed I still very much enjoy.
I don't comment much on this thread since it isn't in a vendor section, but I just won't talk business/shipping:
All juices appreciate steeping. Fruits without any creams are shake & vapes and get a little better and feel blended at 4 days. Creams aren't going to shine until 2 weeks. Custards desire a 4 week steep. There are many ways to steep, but a cool and dark space tends to be best. Heat steeping can affect nicotine and rigorous shaking can cause air bubbles that oxidizes the nic. We keep large batches at our shop that are steeping ahead of time, for you. Sometimes they sit for a few weeks, but sometimes we run thru 20 gallons a day, so they don't get the time to steep.
Krunchy Berries has been talked about lately. That was one of our first recipes we created and it hasn't changed. What we DID do 2 weeks ago was lower the % of the recipe to allow for a higher vg content. Why? Because we never were able to keep it around long enough to see a 2 month steep, with nic mixed, and after that time it didn't steep correctly. Flavors blended weird so it tasted like a bowl of 2 day old cereal. Tasted great for 3 weeks but was always finished up and I would grab a new bottle. Using less flavor is typically better. But nothing has changed as far as anything we have shipped out prior to 2 weeks ago.
Diketones: We have never and will never use diacetyl. When we cleaned up some recipes, it was because some people freak out at these kind of things and we want our customers to feel safe. Acetoin and AP are used to replace diacetyl and then butyric acid is used to replace acetoin and AP. No real tests have been done that prove negative or positive effects of any, but if a juice has some flavors with acetoin and/or AP and also uses a flavor with butyric acid, the acid makes the acetoin and AP stuff stick around longer. So we have made every attempt to keep our flavors free of anything considered negative. Our Vanilla Custard Cream doesn't even have a vanilla custard flavoring in it. It did at first, but between all of the flavor companies we use, we were able to create a unique Vanilla flavor that uses the butyric acid only. If there are any diketones, they would be at .003. That's like having a granule of salt on a 20oz steak.
Donut Line: We don't try to mimic or copy other juices. Yes, some of our flavors mimic a cereal, or drink or candy, but we didn't order a flavor from another company and try to recreate that. We bought an Almond Joy candy bar and ate it... then made an E-Liquid that resembles that taste. So with our Donut line, we have no clue if they taste anything like the big name brand Donut E-Liquids do, since we have never tried them. These are our own versions of what we feel a donut tastes like. (Different setups, coils, heat, power, airflow, etc WILL affect flavor.) They also feel like sitting for 3 weeks or so before really coming together.
I didn't talk business or deals or anything so hopefully I don't get in trouble like i did on a different forum for ecigs, but I wanted to chime in on these few things.

B-boy is the reason I hate this new FDA shit. If I can't buy mods/atomizers anymore, I'm not worried, I have plenty to last a LONG time, but don't take my juice from me!
I really like the three I bought a couple weeks ago, 240 of Pina Colada....really nice FOB.
Mandarin Cream, great FOB too. Tastes like an orange creamsicle......
I'll be ordering again, plus trying other flavors.

Hey Sych, how is the New York Cheesecake and Glazed donut? Mine just got shipped today, so it's gonna be a day or 2 before they arrive.
Rewicking now to try them out , both smell amazing , been enjoying the apple jerks and the almond for a little bit so far . Will post back shortly to let you know .

Taste good to me, but I just ordered a small sampler so I tasted then put away, not enough to give a full review of my thoughts. They seemed pretty spot on from the few hits I got.
Ok, so I have tried some of them and here is my two cents. Apple Jerks - all I can say is damn! Almost kicked peaches and cream as my favorite but did replace Krunchy Berries as number two. This stuff tastes like Apple Cider and the Cinnamon he has was too strong for me but this stuff is on point. Peanut Butter Custard is good, little better than Peanut Butter Cup and is always a good change of pace. I will say that these two and the Noutella need time to steep. Skittlez and Pebbelz are right behind Krunchy Berries right next to Fuzzy Tatas and Froopers. Both of these very good as well. Ok to the three that I tried and just doesn't hit me. Don't get me wrong, they are NOT horrible OR bad, just not my thing. Lemon Cheesecake, New York Cheesecake, and Glazed Doughnut are just not my thing. I guess my taste buds were expecting something a little different. Will post more once I hit them all up.
So tried the new York cheesecake and the glazed , cheesecake is smooth and creamy sweet exhale and nice flavor throughout , definitely like this one. The glazed is a good doughnut , you get the sugary taste on exhale , the flavor is definitely doughnut but is has some undertones I cant.place yet .good flavor and will be a lot better after a steep , the strawberry and blueberry needed a couple weeks to come out and. This one will most likely be the same .overall I am happy with both of them..

It loads a little slow for me, which has it seem like it's glitching when I rush. Wait until the titles in the selections to show before you start making choices is what I've found works for me. I have crappy internet though so that may be the issue moreover.
The page times out before the menu loads for me...werid.
I get mine tomorrow! Do you taste the graham cracker and creaminess?Holy crap is that Tricky Rabbit wicked good! Im not a fruity flavor vaper, I prefer dessert flavors, but this stuff is fing amazing!!
It tastes just like Trixx Cereal...no odd flavors just trixx and millk!
F'n FDA is the reason I missed this sale! I ended up going DIY with great info from the people on this sight but dumped over $200 with stocking up on nic and can only make two flavors for now..... was very happy just buying from B-boy and loving it
I'm not going back to the sticks ever F. Them!
Quite a late response, but it's good to know it's not normal at least. I may order some again to see if there's a difference between the batches. That said, as my first cereal vapes I am still loving Froopers and Krunchy Berries, and will certainly have to check out the fruity pebbles flavor along with their new cheesecake and donut flavors.
Both the krunchy berries and tricky rabbit are delicious but I give the TR a slight edge. It tastes like the cereal thats been sitting at the bottom of your bowl and you really taste the graham cracker upon exhale. Will review the other flavors later.
JUST GOT HOME AND GOT MY JUICE!! First off, wow. Second, I've been vaping for 3 years now. I never really was too into it, but I did it occasionally with friends, I wanted to be, but I never found good ejuice so it ruined it for me. For 3 years, I used tanks and RDA's and I only knew to buy juice from my local shop for $22 for a 30 ml bottle of "premium" ejuice. Also, for three years I always thought my vape tasted weird, like nothing, or bad. I have not ONCE found a flavor I liked. After looking online for a new RDA I somehow come across this thread and saw all the positive reviews of verde valley vapes and saw the great pricing! I'm now going to be a full time vapor because I got 680 ml for $60!!! Wow great deal. Now, when I got home a little bit ago, I just tried piña colada.. WOW it is incredible!! I got the 60/40 w/ no flavor shots and it is full of flavor and produces thick clouds! This is the first ejuice that I absolutely love! It taste just like a piña colada! Spot on! I'm super excited about vaping now and will never be disappointed with my vape. Plus, now I have a ridiculous about of ejuice for a great price and I'm sure the rest taste fantastic.
Thank you verde valley vapes for saving vaping for me!!! I'll post my review of the other flavors when I try them later on.
Btw even if this juice was $22 for 30 ml, it blows away any juice I've tried (I've tried tons of company's from my local vape shop sampling) the price is just a big bonus!

I ordered the 10 flavor sampler and received today. So far I'm pretty bummed. None of the flavors taste like what they're supposed to taste like. I imagine if you vaped a liquid with no added flavors, this is what it would taste like. I haven't been vaping long, but most of the juices i've bought either online or at b&ms taste like what they describe. I'm going to let them sit a few days. I hope the flavors get better.
Which flavors did you try?
Ordered the following
Ratio vg/pg : Tank (60/40)
Flavor 1 : Cinnamon Squares
Flavor 2 : Glazed Donut
Flavor 3 : Key Lime Pie
Flavor 4 : Ry4 Blend
Flavor 5 : Raspberry
Flavor 6 : Fuji Apple
Flavor 7 : Watermelon
Flavor 8 : Strawberry Donut
Flavor 9 : Wubba Bubba
Flavor 10 : Krunchy Berries
So far I've tried the Cinnamon Squares, Donut, Strawberry Donut, Krunchy Berries, Key lime pie and watermelon. The watermelon one is decent. All the others taste artificial and not like what they're supposed to be.
You need to let them steep. I recently got mitten vapors cookies juice that was unvapable and in one week it turned into a delicious blueberry sugary oatmeal cookie.
I'll do that, thanks. Seems like the fruit flavors are ok out of the box. The others I'll sit on.
Sometimes steeping wont help but after my last incident I always wait. Yes, their flavors are very muted but I think the krunchy berries and tricky rabbit after a week were so will come alive
A bit. Everything I have steeping now is muted actually from a few places so I am vaping the stuff that is already steeped.
Just starting to get around to trying the new V3 flavors. Just loaded up some Razzled and man is it nice. Awesome summer vape. A nice balance of peach and raspberry. The peach and raspberry blend perfectly on the inhale and the exhale. If you like peaches and raspberries then this is a must order on the upcoming sale tomorrow
Just received my 10 pack and am pretty happy with the flavors.
I was wondering what the proper steeping time is for these ?
Favorites: Pre steeping
#1 Tricky Rabbit
#2 Pina Colada
#3 Peanut butter custard
#4 Mandarin cream
#5 Straw'nana Cream
Raspberry cream (This one needs to steep more) the raspberry seems chemical. If the cream comes out more this will be great.

I'm letting my Pina Colada and Peanut butter custard steep for a couple more days before trying again. Raspberry Custard I've ordered a lot and when you have that chemically taste yeah give it a week, but more often than not it's been good right out of the package for me. I haven't tried tricky rabbit, but with the other mixed fruit flavors I've gotten steeping an extra week or two has seemed to help. Mandarin cream and straw'nana were good from the get go for me. Straw'nana getting sweeter with time for me.
