I don't know what it is, maybe I'm because I don't normally go to wattage under 10,but I'm not getting any icing type flavor from the Knights Blood. I get strictly cake. I really wish it wasn't red tbh, the thickness is fine, I primarily use rdas and kayfuns. I'm just really turned off by the red color at this point. It's more of a hassle than it is cool. I am having to turn it down each time I reach for juice, just because it's a PITA to clean up. I change flavors too often to HAVE to change out wicks. Right now for example, I really want a nice bakery vape, but which rda do I want to clean tomorrow?!

OK I tried Knights Rum again and this time with a fresh single 1.5 in a protank 3 mini. I must have used an old coil before because it is really good now! I discovered the other coil was bad when I tried to clean it and put in some juice I know I like and it too was hard to taste and not as good as I remembered it. I am stoked because I now have another flavor to vape on. I actually have too many to choose from, Cadillac problems again ;)

Again, thanks for the continued feedback my Knights. I too have been a little MIA with the new puppy (I use that work lightly).

I have decided to retire Knight's Blood Oath. There are many factors, the most important one is that it is not the best of the best. Within this brand, if I cannot create a flavor that is the best...it won't make the cut. I know some are doing ok with it/don't mind the clean up...but it is becoming a problem child for many and that makes it a candidate to be shown the door in my eyes.

I will be testing flavors and blends to add a third Knight back to the lineup. I have some ideas about directions I want to go, but am also open to suggestions. So, my Knights....what would like to see us tackle next?

You guys really are the best and this is what this Beta test was all about...not letting the weak inherit the Earth!


Blood Oath, you are the weakest link..buh-bye.

After anxiously awaiting their arrival ALL week, I spent the entire weekend with all three Knights. ;)

I used a Vision Spinner and started with new tanks and coils. :D
After loading each tank, I let them sit for 15 mins each. I tested all weekend and at various voltages.

Knight’s Cross - New Kanger T3D with a New 1.5 Coil
As a custard lover, I was expecting to enjoy this. I am sad to report, I didn’t. :(
I didn’t get any “custard” flavor at all. Overall vapor was best at 3.8.

Knight’ Blood Oath – New Evod with a New 2.5 Coil
Wow, the blood red was kinda creepy and the viscosity seemed like real blood. :shock:
This tasted like weak strawberries and cream to me. Overall vapor was best at 3.8.

Knight’s Rum – New Evod with a New 2.5 Coil
This fell flat for me. I could barely taste the rum. Overall vapor was best at 3.8.

I know people have different tastes, but damn. After reading all your reviews, perhaps I was doing something wrong?

Robin, I fear that you may have had the misfortune of having read many other reviews before you got a chance to test them objectively. I avoided the Knight threads from the time that I saw the first posts about Knights receiving their samples until I had tested them myself to avoid any bias (conscious or subconscious). Hopefully, you'll re-visit some of these and find that you like them after all. Many times, my first impression on juices differs from my final one...maybe steeping, maybe my tastes change, maybe external factors like what I'm drinking or how recently I ate or brushed my teeth. For many of us, as I'm sure you've seen, Knight's Cross and Knight's Rum have been ranked between good and ADV. Of course, taste is purely subjective and they may not appeal to you now or later. I can't help but to try to give these due diligence to honor King Dave's gracious sipping of 30ml each rather than the 10-15ml that most would've. I really hope you find pleasure in some of this awesome juice....I sure have!! Knight's Rum (run a bit hot) really cleans my taste buds when vaping my usual several at a time! ;)....and tastes really good at the same time! :D :thumbs:

PS For me, EVODs tend to really mute flavors. If you have anything like a T2, T3S or T3D....I'd highly recommend trying Rum and Cross in those.

I managed to successfully avoid reading the reviews here, until AFTER taste testing for myself, for the reason you mentioned. I did try the Knight’s Cross in a new T3D with a new coil. I don't want to give up, so I'll try the others in clean T3Ds with new coils. :D Thanks for your suggestions.

It's sad to see Blood Oath go. I agree with the reasons--the hassle of the color and the burning problems--but the flavor, when it was right, was very good. It's that love/hate relationship that is so infuriating and intriguing at the same time. As I've been vaping Blood Oath yesterday afternoon and again this afternoon, I will say that it seems to fare better at lower temperatures. In my Aerotank with a 2.4 ohm stock coil, I am finally having decent success at 3.3-3.4 volts. Higher than that, I get the burn. Vapor production is not as good at this level, but the flavor is consistent (it's better at higher voltages--until it burns).

As far as replacement suggestions--what would fit well would be some sort of Knight's Ale... but I don't think that is possible. Another suggestion might be a marzipan-type flavor (it sort of fits the European mold of candies).

I can't say I'm sorry to see Blood Oath go. Knights Cross has become my ADV. And Knights Rum satisfies my need when I want something less sweet. I like Counts idea of a Marzipan. I would like to see a fruity flavor. Maybe a pineapple/caramel? Just a thought. RIP Blood Oath.
You and that pineapple caramel idea...! :)

Hey guys! I'm kinda very happy to see the blood oath go... after having the other 2 which were soooo very amazing, I just thought it would be such a shame for someone to have ordered just that one and never come back again! I probably would have! It sounded so good! The coolness factor was way up there being it looked like real blood and red velvet yumm! I really thought I was going to LOVE it. I just really didn't. It almost had a bitter taste to me??? And not a pleasant aftertaste!

I can not give praise enough to the other two and I am absolutely floored by how great they are! Really!! Just amazed! :)

I was just looking over your site to see if you have a strawberry flavor yet and wow! Strawberry cucumber (sea siren) sounds soooo good! I've got to try some of that for sure! I will definatly be trying more of your lines!

As for suggestions for a new flavor I will have to think a lil more. First thing that comes to mind is I have not had a good chocolate which is apparently very hard to get right. Looking over your site now to see if you have anything like that and ohhh nutella (earth), (venus)chai tea sound really good! Defiantly placing me an order Really Really soon! WOW! Lol

RIP Blood Oath, I agree that it is too much hassle for the average vapor and might turn them away from your other fine juices.

As for a replacement, I would also like to see a chocolate of some sort. Maybe just a simple chocolate cake or chocolate mocha? Chocolate and caramel also go good together in my opinion.
