Virgin Vapor E-Liquid Review

Virgin Vapor is a little bit different than other e-juice providers, known for its organically flavored e-liquid. The company says its ingredients are U.S. sourced and contain no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.

Update: This review dates from 2014. We can’t confirm that Virgin Vapor or these flavors are still sold, and prices have likely changed. Only FDA-authorized e-cigarettes may be lawfully sold in the US, and no bottled e-liquid flavors like these are on that list. E-liquid is for adults 21 and older who already smoke or vape.

About Virgin Vapor E-Juice

If ingredient purity is your primary concern, Virgin Vapor was one of the few organic-focused options when we reviewed it. The company was small (based in Lower Lake, CA). It said its ingredients were U.S. sourced and certified organic, with no DEG, artificial flavorings, colorings or sweeteners. It sold its e-liquid in glass bottles.

Virgin Vapor offered two base options: 50/50 PG/VG or 100% vegetable glycerin. The company said its PG was USP grade and its VG was USP grade and certified organic, and that its 100% VG line was free of propylene glycol, including in the flavorings.

Our Opinion of Virgin Vapor E-Liquid

With nearly 100 flavors at the time, Virgin Vapor had a wide selection. Annette, the owner and “head chef”, clearly put a lot of effort into a distinctive line of e-juice. Although our experience with Virgin Vapor was limited prior to this review, we chose three appealing flavors for our initial testing and Annette was kind enough to send us three additional samples.

Especially popular with PG-sensitive vapers and 100% VG fans, we chose 50/50 PG/VG (at 8mg nicotine) since our team prefers PG/VG combos. We let it steep for a month and all three members of our team vaped each flavor for at least 24 hours, giving us plenty of time for an accurate evaluation. Virgin Vapor E-Juice As you’d expect from a 50/50 mix, most of the flavors produced an excellent combination of flavor and vapor. For the most part, the throat hit was mild, but still satisfying. Since we only sampled six of Virgin Vapor’s flavors, here’s a quick overview and our overall ratings for each:

Organic Black Cherry Marshmallow (4.5/5) – Described as “true black cherry” with “a light, powdery, marshmallow sweetness” – Virgin Vapor’s description is SPOT ON. An appealing flavor with just the right amount of cherry and hints of light, fluffy marshmallow; it lacked the strong cough syrupy taste that plagues many cherry flavors. Authentic black cherry with subtle, creamy undertones… a nice all day vape that everyone enjoyed.
Organic Kona Coffee Milkshake (4/5) – If you’ve been overwhelmed (or disappointed) by coffee flavors in the past, this one is definitely worth a shot. Although it had a subtle espresso aftertaste, it wasn’t overly powerful and was nicely complemented by sweet, creamy caramel and chocolate. A well balanced and enjoyable vape, even for those of us that avoid coffee-flavors.
Organic Maple French Toast (5/5) – Very sweet and flavorful! Lots of maple mixed with hints of cinnamon, vanilla and possibly some nutmeg. It has the buttery sweet smoothness of real french toast and we were thoroughly impressed with this tasty, rich and super delicious vape.
Organic Plum Crazy (2.5/5) – Plum Crazy was one of the freebies sent with our samples and it received the least fanfare from our team. The flavor itself was pretty accurate, but it was so subtle that it left us hanging and wishing for more. On inhale there was almost no flavor, and during exhale the subtle (but tasty) plum aftertaste was barely noticeable. Not a bad flavor, it just lacked the depth and richness that we typically prefer.
Organic Root Beer Float (3.5/5) – Just like the old-fashioned root beer barrel candies, Organic Root Beer Float was a nice mix of spicy, sugar sweetness. We definitely thought it was too light on the creamy, vanilla side for it to be considered an authentic root beer float, and it was probably too sweet to vape regularly, but overall it was still an enjoyable flavor.
Organic Wild Blue Punch (3.5/5) – A nice combination of watermelon, blueberry and other fruit flavors, Wild Blue Punch has a noticeably strong emphasis on blueberry and produced a subtly sweet and tangy aftertaste. A decent fruity, summer time vape, but we’ve definitely tried better.

Overall, we were pleased with our first Virgin Vapor experience. In every one of our reviews there are winners and losers in the bunch, and Virgin Vapor was no exception. Plum Crazy was definitely weak in the flavor department, and several of us felt like Wild Blue Punch was a bit too tangy. Otherwise, we enjoyed all the other flavors, with Maple French Toast and Cherry Marshmallow the clear standouts. Although the flavors didn’t knock our socks off, Virgin Vapor was a strong pick if organic ingredients are your priority.

Expert Product Feedback…

Vaping is likely far less harmful than smoking, though not risk-free, so cleaner ingredients appeal to me. “Organic” describes how ingredients are grown; it doesn’t make inhaling them safe. Virgin Vapor’s pricing was in line with most “premium” e-juice companies, and I enjoyed most of the flavors we tested. Personally, I thought Maple French Toast was the best, followed by Root Beer Float and Cherry Marshmallow. Not a fan of Plum Crazy or Wild Blue Punch, but more testing is definitely around the corner. – Vanessa Salias
