Ordered three 10ml bottles of 18mg juice from FREEDOMSMOKEUSA after hearing great reviews on them at this site. It shipped on the 21st and should be recieved today, the 23rd, according to the USPS info. That is an awesome turnaround.

The juices:

RY4 (which i still have very little idea what it is but everybody seems to wanna have it's baby)

Wyatt Earp (I'm still trying to get that smokey sort of reminder)


and...

Anise w/ a splash of classic vanilla (I love black licorice and I think I might be forever alone because of it)


Like I said I ordered due to word of mouth, so I'm fairly sure I won't be dissappointed.
I'll get back and review them later on, probably this evening/afternoon. If anybody wants to add their two bits on this company or flavor preferences or whatever in the ilk, please do. Finding a good juice source is more important to me then the hardware.

My all day favorite is RY4 mixed equally with Apple -- both from FSUSA. It's sorta like vaping a caramel apple with hints of other smooth flavors, like exotic tobacco and vanilla. I know it's not good to say "never," but I'll never order from any other juice supplier. I have about 1,000mL of four flavors from FSUSA, enough to last for at least six months.

Just checked the mail. The eagle has landed!

Everybody signed the invoice. LOL! It's like a birthday card or something. Might as well be, because this is definately a present.

Everything smells beyond lovely. Cloying and subtle, each flavor has it's distinct characteristics. The anise is amazingly anise smelling. The RY5 they sent as free sample has a note of maple first. The RY4 has more of a sweet tobacco first note. The Wyatt has a much deeper and robust tobacco note to start. What to start with!?

I choose the anise w/ classic vanilla splash. Atty dripping in my eGo. This is the only one that is not a 50/50 pg/vg mix it's a 20/80 pg/vg. Good vapor production. The taste is as described. It is a deep anise flavor, that even seems to have the same mouth numbing attributes of the actual herb. It is the majority of the flavor through the whole vape, but on exhale the vanilla comes riding out on top of this licorice cloud. It has a very velvet like mouth feel and neglible but noticable throat hit. If you like a black licorice then definately try this out.

It'll be a while before I try the other stuff, but I am going to love the wait.

Did you ever get a solution on the your gums deback? Just curious as to whether your feeling better and found an answer to that problem?

I'm rather curious about that, too. I hope everything is okay!

I think so, but I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking it was too much VG...too much sweetness in my gums, similar to when I ate too many Sweet Tarts. In the last three days or so, I quit adding Glycerin and my gums haven't been nearly as sore. I also just received 4 bottles from FSUSA today, all at 12mg and 100PG (except for the pre-mixed RY4 at 50/50). I'm now mixing them with the 24mg and 60/40 PG/VG bottles I received a week or so ago, so I'll be vaping less VG and less nicotine (starting about two hours ago). I think the little bit of gum pain I still have should go away.

The gum pain started a week or so ago, when I started vaping the 60/40 PG/VG and was still adding about 20% Glycerin. During the month before that, I was vaping mostly 100% PG liquids and adding about 25% Glycerin (but I did have some intermittent gum pain during that first month, and I think that was when I was adding 33% to 40% of Glycerin).

I believe the other pain I had in my throat and roof of my mouth was due to vaping with the higher voltage passthrough (5V 510) from madvapes. I quit using that PT last Wednesday, and that pain went away within a day.

Guess my mouth is sensitive to VG and high voltage. :) Thanks for asking!

That kind of makes me glad I didn't go with a HV PT when I first started looking at them.

I have wondered if my gums bleeding has anything to do with what I'm vaping, but I think it might be caused by increased blood flow now that I don't smoke. It was kind of bad, but it's eased up in the last couple of days.

Mine eases up now and then, for a day or two, but it keeps coming back. It's been almost six weeks, but I might have to stop vaping, since I'm having the pain when using the eGo (but that's because it all hasn't healed completely yet). I know I said it's because of the HV PTs, but I really don't know for sure what's causing it at this point.

I think we should try to figure this out, WOH. It doesn't make sense that your gums are bleeding due to better blood flow (unless you're taking a bunch of blood thinners, which I am -- and my gums aren't bleeding, they're just sore). It seems like it has to be a sensitivity to either: PG, nicotine, VG, or high voltage heat.

I just added about 33% Glycerin to some of my liquid mixture and will be trying that for a while. That's the percentage I used when I started vaping, because that's how I learned to mix juices from watching some YouTube videos. Those guys were adding 50% Glycerin to their liquids, so I started out with 33% to 40%, then about every week, I reduced the percentage - down to 30%, then 25%, then 20%, and lately 0%. The more I reduced the amount of Glycerin I added, the more often my gums got sore (and the rest of the areas inside my mouth).

This (mouth pain) has gotten to the point where it's hard to vape and I just want to sleep, because that's the only time I don't vape. Heck, I can't quit vaping, cuz I have over 1,000mL of my favorite juice.

The flavor with 33% Glycerin is just a tiny bit less (not hardly enough to notice the difference), and if it helps with this mouth sensitivity problem, then I'll go back to adding 33% Glycerin.

bnjmn - Let us know how you like your juices from FSUSA! Sorry for getting a little bit off topic, but it's all kinda related.

It's actually common for people that stop smoking to have gum issues-mostly bleeding. I remember this issue from freaking out first time I tried the patch..........found it online. Knock on wood-no problem with vaping yet.

That actually makes me feel a little better. My gums were so sore after I'd been vaping for about a week or so and it kind of worried me, mostly because it's been a really, really, really long time since I've seen a dentist! I know...bad girl!
