Here is my review of a few (three) Highbrow liquids. Before I start, I want to let you all know that I tried every liquid straight from the mailbox, and than let them all steep for a week. I'm impatient, and when I ordered I didn't have a lot of other juice to fall back on :D. This review is based off results from both a Vector Variable Volt (LT 3.0) and an Ego Twist, both at 4.2 volts on 2.8ohm clearos (Stardusts) and both fully charged.


Highbrowbacco RY4: I did/didn't like this straight from the mailbox. The tobacco was pure but heavy and the vanilla and caramel accents did not seem to complement the flavor as much as stifle it..I almost wanted them gone just to enjoy the tobacco taste. I vaped it all day, and just didn't change my mind. I put it away in my special closet for a week and came back to it tonight (this morning). It's wonderful. All of the flavors mingle on my tongue and make me want to backflip with joy. The throat hit and vapor on this one are plentiful..provided the next thing I'm going to type: this one DEFINITELY needs to steep for at least a week, at least in my opinion.


Orange de Sangre: This juice out of the mailbox was okay, just okay. I was definitely with Phil Busardo on this one. He talked about tasting a 'plasticky' element to the juice and I felt I knew what he was tasting: really sour rind, because that's what I got when I first vaped this. I liked it, because it really did taste (out of the mailbox) like biting into a fresh blood orange but the aftertaste left a LOT to be desired. Into my special closet it went for a week. It came out, and I am still impressed as I'm typing, and I'm halfway through my Stardust already (just filled it thirty minutes ago). It's juicy, it's tangy, it's got all the citrus and sweet you could want, it tastes like you just plucked it from the tree and there is a slightly tart rindy taste. It's a wonderful, wonderful juice....provided that you let it sit, again in my opinion.


Cappucino Diablo: This juice was awesome out of the mailbox, and I vaped a couple of clearos through without even really noticing. It's creamy and a mite sweet, but not overpowering. It's an AWESOME morning vape. If you let it sit for a week, it's literally like drinking a cup of cappucino. I mean, I was sitting around trying to swallow the vapor. It's super de duper awesome. Steeping isn't needed, but when my next bottle comes in I'm going to let it sit.


Conclusion: Highbrow Vapor's juices are really great. The flavors are complex without being heavy-handed, the bottles are nice, the service is great, the shipping is quick and they are just an overall pretty great company. If you have some other juices you like right now and want to try Highbrow, you can't go wrong in my opinion. But if you want to order juice and vape it RIGHT NOW, you may be disappointed. From the admittedly limited number of juices I've tried, steeping has either made the flavor what it was created to be or enhanced it greatly from the time they were pulled out of the mailbox. You have to play a waiting game with Highbrow's juices, and for some that have 300+ mls of juice that's okay, but for someone new..not so much. All in all I give all of these juices an A and Highbrow Vapor in general an A for being great.

Good, honest review! :thumb:

I happen to love Highbrow's juices, but I am also a "steep nazi": I take an initial sniff, but would never even consider vaping any juices straight out of the mailbox! (I know, I know, YMMV yada yada . . . :D)

Highbrow's fruit juices (Blueberry, Orange de Sangre, Limoncello, etc.) definitely need to steep a week or more. The Tobaccos all need even longer steeping. (I steep everything 3-4 weeks, but I'm weird that way. :laugh:)
