Those of you waiting to place your first order with Stash, without reservation, go on ahead and do it! I made it into the local B&M that stocks Stash E liquids this afternoon. I was able to sample Cinnamon Girl, Dark Star, BP &Jam, and Valhalla. Here are my quick thoughts.
Cinnamon Girl: Very mild cinnamon flavored pastry. The cinnamon flavor is the bakery type (not candy) and is blended in very well with the pastry. I couldn't really capture any fruit taste but none the less, a very good
vape. I am not a fan of cinnamon vapes, (bakery, candy, mild or strong) so I decided not to purchase a bottle. My son loves cinnamon pastry vapes and loved this flavor.
Dark Star: Wow, IMO, this is one very delicious vape. It has a taste like no other custard that I have ever tried. It is a very smooth, well blended custard with light vanilla and a hint of caramel on the exhale. The chocolate is extremely light and barely noticeable fresh. I suspect that the chocolate will become more forward after a few weeks in the steep drawer. The owner of the B&M said that the flavors do evolve after just a few weeks but the chocolate remains light, and not overpowering. I am currently
vaping Dark Star in the Sub Ox Mini at 19.5W with a 0.5 OCC. It is really delicious. I purchased 2 - 30ml bottles. I'm pretty sure I found my new favorite custard.
PB & Jam: The sample bottle at the B&M was steeped for about 1.5 months according to the owner. With that said, I found PB & Jam to be very jam forward with only a light hint of creamy PB. The strawberry preserve flavor was very authentic and tasty. The owner stated that many enjoy this flavor fresh as the creamy PB is more forward. The B&M only had stock of the PB & Jam at a nic level of 3mg. I just dropped from 12mg to 6mg so I decided not to purchase. It was an interesting enough flavor that I plan to order a bottle of the 6mg nic level directly from the Stash website.
Valhalla: If you love key lime pie then this one is a no brainer. The best way for me to describe Valhalla is to say it is exactly like the best piece of Florida Key Lime Pie packed into a vape bottle. Tart, sweet, but not too sweat, creamy, all on top of a graham cracker crust. IMO, it's all there. Go for it, I brought home 2 - 30ml bottles.
So a quick recap according to my taste buds. Of the 4 flavors that I sampled, they were all "purchase worthy," and I rank them as follows:
(1) Dark Star
(2) Valhalla (A very, very close runner up.)
(3) PB & Jam
(4) Cinnamon Girl (Ranked 4 only because of my lack of love for cinnamon pastry vape flavors.)
