All I want to say is that Backwoods Brew and Alien Visions both have ULTRA hyped 555 juices and I thought they were terrible. I personally like Liberty Flights American Red and Highway(555), I don't get the sweet/vomit/chemical taste like I do with the other two. I also like Bloog's 555. You will literally just have to shop for different 555s until you find the kind that you like since the taste varies so much. I just know that I basically have no faith in hyped up juice flavors, it is so incredibly subjective.

I would not recommend getting very much of any one juice while experimenting. Get a bunch of 5ml samples at a time until you find what YOU like.

Oh and another fact, while I'm ranting... If you want a real cigarette experience, you are NEVER going to get it with vaping, you will have to smoke a real cigarette, but I hope you do not.

555 Exotic from BWB. Most would rightly say that it isn't a traditional 555, but that is neither here nor there. It is the best 555 I have had. Now as to others on this page that speak to 555 tasting juices, well, those are all good too. But, a juice that actually has 555 in the name, for me, would have to go to 555 Exotic as being the best.


p.s. 555 like juices abound by all types of names, so if that is the flavor profile you are interested in, then by all means look to this page for more options.

I have to agree. I tried BWB a while ago due to so many people raving about his 555. I bought his Nutty and the 555. Both of them were as thick as honey. Literally. It took about 5 minutes to fill an 808 cart with the stuff. And both tasted like cotton candy.

"Let it steep!" they said.

It steeped for a month. Same taste. After a year it finally went into the garbage.

I have tried dozens of 555-juices and none tastes like a State Express ("555") cigarette....

If by "555 like" you mean Dekang (or other Chinese)555, then ok. Juices attempting to duplicate either a Chinese 555 juice or a State Express analog do not impress me. I'd still group BWB 555 Exotic in your "555 like" category. It's not bad though, IMO.

Well, if I was using an 808 cart I think I would probably feel the same way, maybe. 808 carts, are probably better for thinner juices or any heavy pg base. I don't know, all these differing opinions drive me a little batty, because at the end of the night, you are still left with a 50/50 decision. There will always be those that disagree, and those that hype. Neither is wrong or right, but if you find some members whose taste you respect, you could just specifically ask them, or just search their posts for their likes. That helped me above all thread suggestions because you never really know why some people like what. There are some people that may think Taco Bell is the ultimate in Mexican cuisine, and who am I to tell them that is absolutely freakin' ridiculous? ;)

VS Frisco and NLV Line Rider.

When I first tasted Line Rider, I had the "WOW" reaction, it was that good. I'm buying the next bottle in lower nic for an evening vape.

Frisco has been in my rotation for a while. Very consistent quality, great taste and it mixes well with other juices.

With what do you mix it?

Wanted to add this: considering the op asked specifically about 555 e juices, I wrote "555 like", or maybe I should have written "555 by another name", because some of these juices that are in the 555 family do not explicitly say so on websites. Which is why I said, "if that is the flavor profile you are interested in, then by all means look to this page for more options."

So, if the op is looking for 555 juices, look at the descriptions of the juices, because the name might not always say 555.

This is what Vaporstation describes Frisco as: A very intense, rich, nutty base. A mature, graceful tobacco flavor. A hazelnut base really completes this astounding blend. This vape comes highly recommended from the most exclusive inner circles of the highest echelons of tobacco-derived vape elitists.

There are key words that suggest 555 that do not always include any mention of 555. Interestingly, I don't generally like 555, and that is probably why I didn't order Frisco. I do love Halo Prime 15, but never thought it was a 555 juice at all? Maybe it is, but whatever it is, it is awesome!

Woah dude that's going too far. I like Taco Bell as much as the next drunk guy but a person that would think Taco Bell is the greatest Mexican cuisine is flat out WRONG Sir. :D

If you can believe it, I have actually been at a Mexican restaurant (Southwest Detroit) and heard someone say they thought the tacos weren't as good as Taco Bell. I would like to say that person wasn't with me...but, I'd be lying.:facepalm::D

Okay, back to 555...:laugh:

I think I may try Frisco now, based on Dream's words. I do like Vapor Stations other tobaccos...so, why not?

What exactly does 555 mean to you?

What I love about Prime 15 isn't its nod to 555 (5+5+5=15), but rather its performance as a cigarette replacement. Same with Frisco, but does anybody really think that Frisco tastes like any other 555?
