This review will be annotated as necessary, but here's the gist:
Flavors reviewed:
I am sampling these as I go, not all at once. My thinking is that time between each tasting will give a more unbiased reaction, as one flavor will not be judged in contrast to the previous one, thus allowing a more objective assessment.
I'm not reading the ingredients from TVC's page, to avoid coloring my opinion to conform with what's used.
Scoring: Scale from 1 - 10.
The story thus far. . .
Unicorn Poop - Who knew equine fantasy scat would be so delectable? It's uncanny how well TVC is able to nail down flavor mixes with abstract names, and they work.

Scoring: Scale from 1 - 10.
- 4 and below, don't waste your time,
- 5 being average in every way,
- 7 being noteworthy, something one can be fairly sure will make an impression,
- 8.5 being exceptional, a vape I can recommend with total confidence,
- 9.5 being amongst the best e-juice ever tasted, very rarely come across, an absolute must-vape,
- 10 being legendary, and thus unlikely to ever be awarded.

Unicorn Poop - Who knew equine fantasy scat would be so delectable? It's uncanny how well TVC is able to nail down flavor mixes with abstract names, and they work.
- Taste: Watermelon à la pink Starburst. A bit of citrus. Keep vaping this one to pinpoint the taste, and one word stands out: Floral. As in, roses. This is not-unlike taking a nice whiff of a rose. It also has a small lime flavored citrus kick at the end. Just enough to be noticeable and top-off the flavor medley. So, as of now, I'm settling on Watermelon-rose-with a small Lime citrus kick at the end. None seems to outweigh the others, and I get the sense the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.
- Thoughts: The taste is restrained and subtle. One thing I've noticed about TVC is he doesn't bash one over the head with a flavor. It's more subtle and nuanced, but definitely there. I dig it.
- Conclusion: So, out of the mailbox, I really enjoy this vape. It's light, pleasant, and damned if it doesn't remind me of rainbows, butterflies, lollipops, bright sunshine, and such. For those who've played Diablo III, just think of 'the cow level.'
PB Nomnoms
- Taste: Do you like pecan sandies? Sure, there's no pecan, but this is the first impression I get from vaping. PB? Check. Vanilla? Check. Brown Sugar? Not so much. The PB is initially hinted at and smooth, but it is the after-taste which delivers a full essence of PB. Vanilla seems to be present throughout. Perhaps the smallest titch of brown sugar, but its something I have to concentrate on to taste, so again, not so much. However, this pre-steeping commentary seems premature as this one promises to deliver once it gets a couple of weeks under its belt.
UPDATE - Approx 2 weeks later - This one hasn't really come through at all with steeping. So, I'm kinda disappointed. - Thoughts: I really wish this one was better. I have a fetish for good vanilla and brown sugar. Can't wait for this one to steep. As for now, don't expect to be knocked over out-of-the-box. The flavor is there, but I just get the sense it's premature to review this one now.
- Conclusion: So, out of the box, it's nice, but a tease. After over 2 weeks, it hasn't improved any. This is one I just can't recommend.
