Works Great
I only buy the VapeCool version now. I’ve rebought it several times. There are a lot of negative comments about the taste, but to be honest I’m not taking cough syrup for the taste I’m taking it for the relief. There’s a cooling sensation that happens in your chest and throat when you drink it, which really helps with cough, like vapor rub. I choose this over the regular and honey versions.

DO NOT BUY
Tastes like mouthwash and made me throw up. Do not buy this one! What happened to regular DayQuil?

DONT!
I was feeling better before I took this. it hurts going down, made me super nauseated and I wanted to throw up. I don’t know how people take this or why it’s being sold. it is the most horrendous medication I’ve ever had. I know they won’t take it back open, but it’s expensive and I’m going to try

Cool Relief That Clears Congestion Fast
This Vicks DayQuil & NyQuil Severe VapoCOOL is a game changer! The cooling sensation is incredible — you can actually feel it opening up your congestion right away. DayQuil keeps me going during the day without feeling drowsy, and NyQuil helps me rest at night while still clearing my sinuses. The 24 fl oz size is perfect for the whole cold season. Highly recommend for anyone who wants fast relief and that refreshing VapoCOOL feeling!

I only buy this. The reviews are correct that it tastes bad. Very menthol-y. BUT this helps me recover quicker. Buy it. Eat something after because it makes your stomach hurt. But it truly works.

This stuff is the best. The vapor cool is my favorite. My only gripe is Target doesn’t sell them separately, and I use more NyQuil than day so I have an uneven bottle ratio.

Disgusting.
All I have to say is that the taste is so disgusting to the point where it causes stomachaches.

We're so sorry you didn't like the VapoCOOL taste and experienced a stomach ache, user2025. Some consumers are sensitive to the flavor ingredients in certain cold & flu products. Since you experienced gastrointestinal issues, you should stop use and consult your physician or pharmacist. For cold & flu symptom relief, we recommend you our regular Vicks SEVERE or Cold & Flu line of products which have a lower level of flavor ingredients vs. our VapoCOOL products. Your well-being is very important to us, and our Vicks Team would like to gather details of your experience to further help. Please give us a call at 1-800-873-8276 from 9AM – 6PM EST Monday – Friday, so we can assist you.

This is disgusting. Tastes like you’re drinking mouthwash and I almost threw up. Just buy the regular NyQuil.

Sensitive Tummies Steer Clear
It works but sensitive tummies steer clear! I took this for a bad cold and it helped but unless you want your stomach to hurt for the next 20 mins after and feel nauseous, I’d stay away. Honestly I thought I was being dramatic this morning when I had it so when I took it at night and felt the same way I then looked at the reviews and was at least comforted that I wasn’t the only one!

Terrible
This stuff is awful. Bought it when everything else was sold out and regretted it immediately after taking it. The taste is SO BAD. It’s truly awful and does not go away quickly. Definitely gave me a stomach ache immediately and barely did anything for my cold. Not worth it at all.

HORRIBLE STOMACH PAIN
Horrible stomach pain! I thought it was just me! Once I took it I immediately felt the stomach pain and nausea, when I was feeling this way I wanted to see if it was just me so I go and look at the reviews and after I read them I saw I wasn’t the only one. I felt nauseas, felt like my stomach is about to explode. However I might say I did feel a little better.

So not recommend!!!
I tried the DayQuil VapoCool and it immediately hurt my stomach so bad, I started feeling like I needed to throw up and just had the worst time ever until I threw up everything I had just had. It took like an hour or 2 to feel completely fine. Got this as my last resource and now I can’t even take it
