Best Gourmet Ejuice Vendors #3 - Juice Junkies Saga Continues

[empteeteacup]

I forget who expressed a concern over Ten Bucks Bilked Milk's blackberry element possibly being bitter, but I can assure said person that it is not bitter at all! Very smooth and tasty. Bilked Milk reminds me a lot of Jam Cake, but less sweet, which I like. I really wouldn't even call it blackberry, necessarily. It tastes more to me like a mixed berry, with a dark berry taste for sure, and a creamy element. It's really good!

I know this has been discussed before, but I have a friend I am helping switch to vaping. She has not been able to completely switch, but I have her on 24mg nic. It's getting harder and harder to find. What vendors still do high nic?

Thanks!

Aroma ejuice... they have great juices. My two every day vapes are vanilla splash and snickerdoodle. I vape 12mg nic and it vapes smooth. i won't do 12 nic with any other vendor.

Thanks Emptee! It was me.

I revisited the Cloud Ride Figtastic last night and I love it. It was good from the beginning, but it has really come into its own with some steeping. It's plenty flavorful and delicious. I have a tank of their Oooo Berry I am enjoying right now as well. Next Cloud Ride juice up will be Peaches & Cream. Their Apple Hooka is still as delicious as ever.

This is with the Cleito? I've seen complaints about this (don't have one myself). Some tips I've read: the airflow needs to be closed down quite a bit; the .02 ohm coils cause this more than the .04 coils; the coils that come *with* the Cleito are more likely to do this than replacements.

(and of course, as chanel says, longer drip tip, higher heat)

For the past several days I have been vaping Rhubarb and Custard. I have another ejuice that contains rhubarb where the rhubarb is subtle plus it has quite a few flavors in it that I get only a slight tart taste from the rhubarb. With Rhubarb and Custard I do taste the rhubarb however it is not tart IMO. The custard is adding the right amount of sweetness for my taste to manage the tangy taste. Rhubarb is used with strawberry and I was happy to learn of this flavor especially made with custard and not strawberry.

There is a distributor in the US of this brand and so far I have not found it on any online retail websites. I do hope someone starts carrying it soon as I like it. Nothing like knocking off one of my daily vegetables in vape form.

Credit for this ejuice goes to @tazzle — as always thanks for another great recommendation.

thank u

Not specific to the cleito, but in general I find drip tips with a shape help with a little bit of spit back. Things like mings and vases give the liquid curves and corners to get stuck on while the chimney basically aims it straight into your mouth.

You probably have a few in your box of old equipment that you can try.

Alright boys and girls, time for a full review of all the Ten Bucks stuff I received! I shall adopt GrimmGreen's rating system of thumbs up or down, and scratch and sniff banana sticker or no banana sticker.

They're Nuts

Profile: The nuttiness of pistachios, rounded off with the sweetness of brown sugar, and a delectable cream, blended together to form the perfect dessert.

• This is not a nutty pistachio. Sorry Ten Bucks, thou art lying. It's more of the pistachio flavor that you find in things like pistachio pudding and pistachio muffins, and edges a bit toward an almond flavor. It's definitely not pudding, though. Creamy pistachio. Period. I don't get any brown sugar. This one is also harsher the the other one's I'm reviewing below, but not super harsh by any means.
• Rating: thumbs up, no banana sticker

Bilked Milk

Profile: Blackberries with a smooth, sweet cream.

• I don't get blackberry specifically. It's more like a mixed berry with a dark berry being more prominent. The cream is there too. To me, this tastes a lot like Jam Cake (if you're not familiar with Jam Cake, check this out: Jam Cake) but less sweet, which I like. Very tasty.
• Rating: thumbs up + banana sticker

Meddling Pudding

Profile: Thick, creamy vanilla pudding with luscious swirls of caramel. Sure to satisfy that sweet tooth.

• I would not say that this is a pudding flavor. Vanilla, caramel, done. This isn't a sickly sweet, sticky caramel, and it balances nicely with the vanilla. I found this one to be more subtle than the other juices. It would be a good ADV for someone whose palette this really appeals to.
• Rating: thumbs up, no banana sticker

Fair Shake

Profile: Vanilla ice cream, sliced peaches and bananas blended to perfection to create this fresh, fruity milkshake.

• This was my favorite of the bunch. The peach and the banana are nicely balanced; the banana flavor does not overwhelm the peach or the creaminess at all. I don't get vanilla specifically, it's more like peach mixed with creamy banana. I found this one to be the most strongly flavored one of the bunch.
• Rating: thumbs up + two banana stickers

Flustered Custard

Profile: Slices of ripe nectarine gently layered on top of a thick, rich vanilla custard.

• I'm vaping this one as I type. The custard is forward in this one, with the nectarine (what is the difference between a nectarine and a peach anyway?) in the background, but definitely still present at the end of the exhale. It's not an eggy custard (if that's your thing, this may not be for you) but a nice, creamy, not overly sweet custard.
• Rating: thumbs up, no banana sticker

Overall, this line really surprised me. I did not expect to like it, but I should have anticipated more from the Charlie Noble makers. Like some of the Charlie Noble stuff, a couple of them (particularly They're Nuts, Meddling Pudding, and Flustered Custard) tend more toward the subtler side, but it could be a good thing for those on the lookout for ADVs. All of the Ten Bucks juices I got have a perfect level of sweetness to them. No nasty sucralose stuff here! I will be trying more from them to be sure, Prohibited Peach, Let Them Eat Cake, and Employ-mint in particular. I am so happy to have finally found a budget juice that is nicely flavored, and not nasty crap, like so many of them tend to be. Once again, mad props to @jrenae4 and her bestie for bringing this line to our attention!

great reviews. Now I need one of the cake one and the Adult tobacco one.
I already have Fair Shake in a cart

• Rating: thumbs up + banana sticker

but do you get cake?

If you're referring to Bliked Milk being like Jam Cake, no. But then again, I never really got cake from Jam Cake.

I'm so glad you like it! My husband and I both like it a lot, and this gets a little pricey for us, so I've come up with a suitable DIY alternative that I'll share for folks who might be interested. I mix up a lovely ELR recipe called Bloody Barb (by DarthVapor):

2% Bavarian Cream (TPA)
2% Blood Orange (MBV)
1% Brown Sugar (TPA)
2% Rhubarb (INAWERA)
5% Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA)
2% Sweet Strawberry (CAP)

which is quite good by itself, but I also like it mixed half and half with custard. In my version, I use Flavor West Blood Orange (and I really wouldn't use anything else), and I sub Chefs Flavours Strawberry Juice for the strawberry flavors (at about double the percentage, bc it calls for 20% as a single flavor mix versus 8 or 9 for the strawberry ripe and sweet strawberry), so when I say that the strawberry is not forward at all, and just really seems to add more juiciness than strawberry taste, it may reflect my changes.

Still, the original recipe can obviously be easily adjusted for less strawberry if it's too much. The custard I'm using is another Chefs winner: Welsh Custard, but just use any custard you like. I think a not-too-eggy or -heavy choice would be good.

I just mix the Bloody Barb and the Custard in my tank, because sometimes I like the Bloody Barb on its own. I may like this even a bit more than Perino's Rhubarb and Custard which is sort of miraculous.

Oh, and PS, as a bonus, Bloody Barb is shake and vape, yay!

I find Rhubarb and Custard to be very relaxing flavor where I can kick back and just enjoy the flavor.

Thank you for posting the DiY recipe. I am not quite there yet but hopefully soon so will keep this recipe with the few others I have collected thus far I became acquainted with ELR through a friend and really like this site. We have just a few of the Chef’s Flavors here. So happens one of them is the Welsh Custard which I had already put on my shopping list along with a few of their others flavors. Can't wait to try it!
