All over the place
Very very very different. The "nut" is much more pronounced on the E, whereas with standard 555, i get an almost "citrus-y" taste. I don't think BWB's 555 is very close to other 555's. I'd describe it more as a lemony tea. It is awesome tho. I've been completely hooked on it. I'm actually surprised i like it more than the exotic.

Wow....I re-read what you said and I feel the same way...but, about the E. HAHA


Yeah, I definitely am getting a citrus-y note. I am not getting "peanut" per se, but a nuttiness much in the way that green tea has a nuttiness. As a matter of fact, the 555e is starting to taste just like a perfectly and gently steeped green tea with a touch of honey anchored by a subtle tobacco. I hope this makes sense, but even if no one agrees, the point is: this is some delicately flavored, subtly charged, perfect for the spring, juice!

I received this 3 days ago and it's still steeping. Everyday I drip a few drops from it. While I'm more than pleased with the other juices, I can't seem to like this one.

It's got a rather unpleasant smell. Worse, there's something very chemical-y about this. It tastes like perfume to me, really. I thought it just needs more steeping time, but from what I've read so far it seems that this juices is good to go right from the start :/

I wonder if the flavor has been tweaked at all since its release...Last few times I ordered it it was less nutty and more citrus. Particularly this bottle I have now..its citrus with a hint of the nutty taste...never tasted like that to me before..was always nutty with a hint of citrus. Could be just my tastebuds I suppose..but from the first hit off this bottle it was straight citrus couldnt even taste the peanut..now after a bit of steep time I can taste the nut but its the subtle flavor instead of the dominant

I love everything that I've tried from BWB, but I've only tried Cherry tobacco, coconut, Joker, HFN, and RY4. I stepped out of my comfort zone this morning and just ordered 555, Malty Toffee, Casablanca, and Peach. Don is masterful at what he does and I can't wait to try these! The surprising pick our of the bunch for me is the Casa. I'm not a huge fan of cocoa, but based on what I've read, it's a "must vape".

I almost regret ordering the 555 instead of exotic... but, it seems that the 555 has a pretty strong following too, so I'll give it a try

I think this is a steeping issue. I'm a new convert to the BWB kool-aid, but when i first got it, i thought the stuff was god-awful. Being a 555 nut (stupid pun intended), i was so disappointed in exactly what you're describing. Very citrus-y, very floral ...no nut. Two weeks later, i tried it again and was very happy. I will say that the 555 is still very citrus-y but in a good way. I don't think BWB's 555 is anything like other 555's out there; and i don't care. Right now, standard 555 is pretty much my all day vape. I bought a 60ml bottle so that i will always have well steeped juice.

You won't regret it. I find they're both in the same family. Siblings, if you will. The exotic has a much nuttier taste. The 555 is more citrus. Let it steep for two weeks and it comes out tasting like a fine glass of lemon tea. Casa is kind of like a cousin to these two guys; but definitely from the other side of the tracks. Very good, and an awesome changeup, but not an all day vape IMO.

The thing about Don's juices are, they burn so nicely. I still prefer an 808 setup, but they work so well in the cartos. Great vapor, great throat hit. I've def become a fan.

I have to disagree..I've been vaping BWB for quite some time and tried most of the flavors..as soon as 555e was released I tried it and it has been my main vape ever since..so I know all about steeping and have tasted many a bottle of 555E...so either my tastebuds have changed or the recipe has changed slightly to make the citrus dominant over the nut..I'm hoping this bottle was just a weird one and the next order will be the way it used to be with the nut a bit more pronounced.
