All juice 30 mg, 75/25. Vaped on both an eGo (dripping and cartridges) and a Modern Vapor Sidesho. (on cartomizers)

Sun Kissed - This was my favorite. Awesome flavor and strong throat hit. Can't explain how good this is. It's what orange soda should really taste like. Love it.
Celtic Coffee - Really enjoying this one. Massive vapor production dripping on an eGo. Good, smooth TH. Accurate Irish Cream and coffee flavor. Very nice.
TVR RY4 - my first impression was... that's different. But the more I vaped it the more I liked it. Became my second favorite behind Sun Kissed. Can't describe the flavor.
Espresso - I love real espresso, but this one isn't doing it for me. Don't like the flavor.
Graham Cracker - Not the flavor I expected. Made my stomach queasy.
Ginger Bread - A freeby - Definitely not for me. Also made my stomach queasy. I'm assuming that none of the bakery flavors are for me.
555 Menthol - I like a good menthol flavor, but my first impression of this one wasn't good. I ended up giving it away after only trying it once. Wishing I would have given it another try though.

There ya go. If anyone has tried Dragon Fruit, I posted a request for a review right before this post. If you've had it, let me know what it's like.

Interesting about the 555 Menthol ... I've been sampling menthols ever since I started vaping 6 months ago. Quickly realized that the pure menthols don't do it for me as an all-the-time flavor. I've tried more than a dozen methol/tobacco blends from several different vendors and TVR's 555 Menthol has finally emerged as my top choice. I like the balance of tobacco and menthol, and the lack of that sort of raw, green undertaste some of the tobaccos have.

Here's the interesting part. I had Smooth menthol, Port Menthol, EC Menthol and 555 Menthol in the same sampler pack, and on my first round with them I liked Port best, EC second and 555 third. (Smooth menthol is my favorite of all the pure menthols I've tried, and I have some for topping off other flavors when the mood strikes.) Another round about a week later, EC was tops, Port second and 555 still third. A week later, though, 555 was very balanced and smooth while Port and EC tasted noticeably green in comparison. Now, more than a month later 555 is still perfect for me.

I think even if you let the juices steep for a week, they will still keep changing subtly for awhile (maybe throughout their life? I don't know). You might want to give it another try, either let it steep for a good two weeks or if you use it sooner, keep trying it every once in awhile for another couple of weeks before you make up your mind. Probably good to do with any juice, actually. I also found graham cracker an unpleasant surprise -- all I tasted was cinnamon -- but I came back to it a couple of weeks later and the graham cracker taste had emerged. I quite liked it. It's not one of my favorites, but good.

Yeah, I noticed that the longer I had the juices, the more flavor came out of them. Like I said, wish I could have given the 555 Menthol another shot.

To elaborate on a couple of my opinions, the Espresso tasted more like a Tootsie Roll than espresso to me. The TVR RY4 is the only RY4 I've ever had. So when I said "that's different" it wasn't in comparison to any other maker's RY4.

I just got another order from TVR yesterday. I got Dragon Fruit, Lemon Lime, and Orange Creamsicle. All three are really good. After some steeping, they will probably be amazing. The orange creamsicle tastes very similar to the Sun Kissed, but maybe I'll taste more of the "cream" after it ages a little. I was hoping the Lemon Lime would taste similar to Sprite or 7UP. It doesn't really taste like that (yet?), but it's still really good. The Dragon Fruit is... fruity tasting. I'm liking it. Don't know how to describe the flavor.

i've tried 5 flavors.. dragon fruit is one of them, and although the flavor was decent, i was barely getting any vapor or throat hit.

also tried graham cracker, which was not a very good juice. same goes for waffle. strawberry kiwi and apple pie were the only 2 juices i would repeat buying, and they were definitely good juices.

I get 12 mg for their juices, and I wouldn't say th is the best, tho I get 12 mg so that is to be expected. But vapor is usually very good for their juices. I got Sun Kissed recently and couldn't help but try it a little early before steeping. 1st day tasted more like tangerine, but still a good juice. A few days later it is tasting more like Sunkist. A few more days of steeping and it should be ready to go, but I already like it right out of the mailbox. This juice is a keeper.
