Very nice. Do you DIY for you, or is it available elsewhere? I like strawberries and cream
I've actually had a hankering for it lately, we have a local supplier around here who makes a flavor called Shorty, it's a Strawberry Cheesecake. I tried a bit, and I've been meaning to pick up a bottle ever since LOLThis is awesome!
My hubby @Bad Ninja and I used to do reviews online before you tube became so popular lol
Thanks for the opportunity
I'll keep an eye out for reviews from you guys. Don't get me wrong, I love video reviews, but as anyone who really chuffs clouds knows, it's hard to talk and vape at the same time... I've seen some really good ones, but a short and sweet "This is what I think and this is why" is really all most people need if they trust the source. The problem is that too many people think trusting the source means high end production and fancy this and that. I love that stuff as much as anyone, but all that tells me is that you've got lots of money, not that you've got good taste in juice
Honestly, it's the way I'd want to be treated as a customer. When you buy your supplies in quantity, eliquid isn't ridiculously expensive to produce, I mean, some ingredients are more expensive than others, but that's a fixed cost across the board. I'd rather spend money creating happy customers with lots of juice to vape than just about anything else (donations to CASAA notwithstanding
)
We might have to work out a trade! I DIY for me and the hubby, but I can send ya some of mine to try outVery nice. Do you DIY for you, or is it available elsewhere? I like strawberries and cream
Now that's something I can definitely be onboard forWe might have to work out a trade! I DIY for me and the hubby, but I can send ya some of mine to try out
I'm going to try this in such a way that readers will know better as to who/what/how the tests were done. This first post will apply to all the reviews here by this poster.
Tester: Rich Amber, a retired engineering manager who is currently playing at being a hobby farmer on the prairie of NW South Dakota. I am fairly new to the vaping scene after 50 years of smoking cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. It is entirely possible that my senses of smell and taste are not yet fully recovered from smoking, which could be capable of skewing the results of the test slightly.
Equipment: For the testing of the following 10 e-liquids, the equipment being used consists of an iStick30 with Aspire glass tank with 1.9-ohm vertical coil (as measured by the iStick’s internal VOM, though specs claim it is 1.8 ohms).
Conditions: The voltage setting of the iStick30 will be maintained at 3.9 V for a calculated 8.0 Watts of heating power. This puts the liquid heating at the high end of the “normal” scale, but is not considered “hot.” One would therefore consider the tests to be done as a “tootle puffer,” not a “cloud chaser.” I found that some of the e-liquids would probably do better "right out of the box" at a higher power setting, but my goal here is what the average beginner is likely to experience, and they are not likely to have started with sub-ohm equipment.
Each time a tested e-liquid is changed, the tank and wick will be cleaned thoroughly in order to not introduce contaminants or left-over flavor from the previous test. The personal vaporizer tank holds approximately 2 ml of fluid and each test will consume one tank full.
Samples to be Tested: A sample pack of 10 e-liquids provided only by this particular vendor. These include, by manufacturer’s nomenclature: Prince Pucker, Mellow Gold, Cool Customer, Cool Green, Café Cream, Summer Sweetie, Baker’s Bean, Tropical Torte, Fru Fruity, and Berry Bomb. Each of these was tested, in the order just listed, “right out of the box.” That is, none of them were given any additional “steeping” time other than the time they sat on the shelf awaiting their turn to be tested.
Review #1
Prince Pucker – the flavor here is that of green apples. While the first few puffs did not give much taste, that gradually came on the more I sucked. The subtle smell, throughout the day, was of fresh Granny Smith apples (my favorite). This tasted best in the afternoon and evening (didn’t go too well with the Highlander Grog coffee in the early morning). This could be psychological because I have never eaten apples at breakfast; they have always been an afternoon/evening treat. I would suggest this also might not be at its best if the vaper is drinking some flavored soda pop (e.g., orange, strawberry, black cherry, lemon-lime, etc.) which could subvert your taste buds and overwhelm the subtle apple flavor of the vapor. All in all, I liked the flavor and smell and it was definitely stronger and more satisfying with deep long draws as opposed to short puffs.

We middle kids have to look out or each other!!,I just ordered the Super Sampler! Thanks for the tag, sistah!!
I should have my strawberry in by the weekend. I can send it out the first of next week what nic level? I do 3mg for dripping
what nic level? I do 3mg for dripping Now, see, that's relevant to my interests, I'm a Peach vaper all day. My problem is that unique peach vapes are sooooo hard to come by, it's a difficult flavor to blend well...
Not just that I think @Fuzzy Thunderbear is a hell of a guy....but this is the kind of review that would make me want to try a juice...not just " I love apples"
Awesome points on the complimentary foods. Apple is always an afternoon vape for me, by evening I'll be on to something more desserty usually. This is outstanding and detailed, you've set the bar pretty high ; )

I only vape 4 mg and lower at this point. Transitioned down from 6 about 6 months ago and haven't bounced back up, so I think it's permanant
That's why I explained "who I am" to start with. People might expect an old engineer to analyze is such fashion, whereas a Burger King server might not do so (no offense intended to any servers who are reading this). When reading reviews that are posted on any company's website, I often wonder, "What kind of person did this review?" This way, I figure the reader can make his/her assessment based on more fully available data. While I think a person claiming a product is good or bad is their own personal opinion, if the product is highly technical (e.g., the latest computer), and two people say "It's the best thing I ever used," trusting the review of a ditch digger would be different than one by a computer geek. This is the reason for my admission that I am really new to vaping. Some of your reviewers will have a lot more experience than me at sucking the binkie with a hundred flavors.
The beauty is that some of our prospective customers are really new too. They don't know fancy terminology or won't know about Sigeleis, voltage, wattage, or any of the other stuff. It takes all kinds, believe me, the personality is more important than the expertise
