After reading some recommendations in this forum about Awesome Vapors Hawaiian Punch the wife and I hauled our mouse-clicks over to the page and took a good hard look at the sampler pack. The flavor choices are interesting and the quick shipment was a boon so we figured it was best if we gave a review.
Now, to give everyone an idea, these were tried on a Joye Ego using cartomizers and dripping, a Joye 501 with cartomizers, and DSE901 using standard carts. The nicotine content was 18mg and we did not try these at higher voltage or lower resistance. These will be scored on a ten points out of ten scale paying close attention to Vapor Production, Throat Hit, and of course Taste.
So without further adieu, our reviews.
1. Hawaiian Punch - Now, this is the one I was incredible excited to try but unfortunately we both found that this was not the juice for us. In fact, the only time we achieved quality in all three areas was with direct dripping. The flavor itself when dripping is rather good, sort of a spicy cherry-lemon flavor that bears significant resemblance to the real McCoy. However, the throat hit and vapor production of this is marginal at best.

2.) French Pipe - This one was a last second decision but turned out to be one I will purchase again. There are very interesting forces at work in this liquid and while it does not carry a significant throat hit due to its smoothness, the vapor production and the taste itself carry it through. Its not something either of us could smoke everyday but it will be the occasional joy. Its taste, well, is like a French Pipe. Its smooth, smoky, carrying fond hints of beech, vanilla, and a touch of cherry that lingers on the palate.

3.) Chocolate - Ok, in all fairness to this particular flavor, I think it could be better marketed as Cocoa as opposed to chocolate. It like opening a box of powdered Hershey's cocoa and inhaling the scents within. It seems to carry that nutty almost slightly crisp brownie taste but without the sugary appeal. The throat hit and vapor production were a little below average.

4.) Melon - This particular flavor was rated entirely by me. The wife got all of one drip off of this bottle and I hoarded it. Yes yes, selfish me, but wow, this flavor is incredible. Not only does it combine the fresh appeal of a ripe melon it also seems to give your mouth that refreshed feeling that you get from cool fruit, or even a cucumber. This is probably MY favorite out of the bunch, an all around incredible juice.

5.) Clove - I hoarded the Melon? She hoarded the Clove. Don't get me wrong, its a good flavor but getting between my wife and cloves is like getting between a Dalek and Doctor Who. If you want a clove? This HAS to be the one for you. Its taste clove, its throat hit WHAM clove, its vapor production is like setting off a clove grenade. Its accurate, but boy, you better like clove.
