I noticed a difference right away with the premiums. They taste like an old 555 cart that's about kicked. I tried the premium carts and the premium juice in both regular and premium carts. It's certainly vapable, but it's not the same, and not in a good way.

The old 555 rocks.
The stock china 555 is good.
The premium 555 doesn't suck.
DIYFlavorShack 555 sucks.


The problem isn't so much the flavor. It's getting used to a flavor, expecting it, and then having it change.

Imagine if they just changed the Marlboro red blend and called it premium. People would go crazy. A new blend should be just that. 555 (burnt cart blend)

well, i believe it's been confirmed that the kant juice formula in the prefilled prems actually changed--i don't know if that's the case with the 555 since it [seems form posts here] to be a more subtle difference.

It did BUT maxx was taking the old Kant juice that he liked which is also in the old Kant cartos and putting it into empty Kant Premiums and loving it.

I guess it's safe to say the premiums are going to work really well for some flavors and not as much for others.

I know I LOVE LOVE LOVE Coconut Creme Pie at 3.7v but not as much at 5v so temps really can make a difference when it comes to flavors.
 
I just got the Premium Tobacco sampler today. When I read in the description that it had 555 in it, I was really happy. I loved them in regular 0mg and was hoping for the same if not a better experience now with the Premiums at 4mg. But when I tasted it, I had the same reaction as you. I didn't know where to go with it. Gone was the wonderful nutty flavour, and in it's place was a burnt taste that I just couldn't get passed under the same name. To top it off, several of the carts in the sampler tasted similar. I haven't tried any of the others in regulars so couldn't compare them. But I love samplers because they let me try something without buying a whole pack and then finding that I don't like them. I like the RY4. I'm not sure if it's regular equivalent tastes the same but this one is nice.

Darn ... sorry to hear that! I decided to take the plunge and ordered a couple of packages of it just to see. Hmm ... well it should be arriving any day now so guess I'll find out for myself what it's all about. I just thought that it is so much easier to refill the premium carts (I do not have ANY success with the condom fill on regular carts) that I would get some prems just so I could at least refill them easier.
Thanks for another 'heads up' on on them.

I "repatriated" a 5ml bottle of the old 555 to Leaford in hopes the flavor can be reproduced. I am down to about 2ml of the good stuff before running out entirely. 8-o

Fortunately I still have a whole whack of juice that I bought last October to refill with! Doubly fortunate that I live far, far away ...;)

What!!!!!8-o

Yes you are very very lucky! I've been looking everywhere for someone with the reg stashed away... who could bear to part with it of course ;)

I have one bottle of reg. left that's been sitting here for a couple of weeks now. I can't bear to open it. It would be gone in a matter of hours .. then be gone forever :cry:

Actually I threw that 'lots of juice' comment out there because I didn't think the problem was with the juice, just with the prem cartos themselves. So ... do I take it this means that the prem juice also doesn't live up to the old regular juice? If that is the case ... man ... I'll have to come up with another daily vape alternative. I've both 555 cartos from other suppliers over the months to compare and no one does (did?) it better than V4L.
Hopefully my order will be here today and I'll find out what my tastebuds tell me they think of the prem cartos and take it from there, I guess.
And, yeah, Mozin ... we are family here but you know sometimes family can be ... well ... kinda funny about some things ... ;)
