Let me start by saying I am very new to vaping so my review may not be as in depth as some others here.

I order a low nic (6mg) Cherry Cola from Don at Backwoods Brew. He makes the juice himself and sells from ECF, no website or store front.
His communications are always very quick, withing an hour or two at the longest (my experience).
He will make the nic level to your request and, as I did, he will make extra flavoring in your juice.
one of my first juices was a Dekang Cola flavor. BW Brew's juice is definitely thicker. He informed me he uses a PG/VG blend. The flavor was more pronounced than the pure PG juice I already had. It appeared to me that there was a bit more vapor too.
With my PG juice you got that monetary very light tingle after inhaling that gave the "cola" sensation. With BW Brew it was more noticeable (to me). Not overwhelming, but you knew it was there.

Being so new to all this I also wonder if I require a very overbearing taste for it to really stand out to my amateur palate.

Thats why I ordered extra flavoring in my second order a week later. after the first class communications and service I found it that much more enticing to order again.
I wanted some 0 nic juice that would saturate me with flavor for when I chain vape during the night.
I asked him to make it so that I would see stems and pits shoot out of my nostrils when I exhale.
Well I got it. The taste reminds me of a Luden's cough drop. Definite after taste too.

And as always Mr. D. replied quickly to my emails, and I mean quickly, none of this wait till the morning stuff. I swear he must live with a laptop attached to him. You can reach him by PM thru ECF or his email. He says it's faster for him if you use his email. He takes PP which is a plus for me.
Each time he shipped it out the next morning with tracking.

I will very definitely be buying from him again

A really good review.

I also find that BWB stands out among a lot of other liquids out there. He's my favorite. It seems a lot of us have been touting it for the past couple of weeks.

I've been emphasizing the "presence" of the vape... the high quality of the chemistry employed by Don to make a well balanced liquid that give your throat a treat...

But the flavor is there too.

Don confessed to me that he gets his flavors all over the place... he isn't locked into a few distributors... that he orders flavorings from all over...

I appreciate that... because it shows that he is committed to being unique etc.
and we benefit from the great flavor.

I think this is why I alike AV juices so much too.

I think one criticism that BWB is bound to run into as it gets vaped by more people is on the strength of the flavor...

While the flavor is EXCELLENT, it may not be welcomed by those who love liquid loaded with flavor... Other awesome and reputable companies really LOAD flavor into their juices... for example, when I want powerful flavor, I pull out my Vaporbomb or Freedomsmokesusa liquids. They make great liquid and it's absolutely loaded with flavor.
It's like: "WOW!"

...and I would advise a person who loves a lot of flavor to request it that way from BWB when they order...

In part, what had made Don successful is that he doesn't overload flavor...
That's what got him into making his own liquids.

Taste buds are different on different people.

When I teach my Psychology class... we do this "supertaster" lab.

It basically amounts to me giving each student this little strip of paper with a flavor on it.

Some people say: I don't taste anything at all!" and others are spitting into napkins saying "YUCK!"

The ones saying "yuck" are supertasters... Something llike Broccoli is unbearable to them because all they taste is the bitter.

Look:
Taste Test - Are You a Supertaster?

In any case, glad you love the BWB. I do too.

...and if you are reading this and feeling compelled to try Don's awesome brews, consider your own needs... ask Don for more sweet or more flavor if you are accustomed to it.

Actually I love juice with a really strong flavor, and Dons Espresso does that for me fine.

I dont think it is lacking in flavor , what it is lacking is the heavy taste/feeling.
Very hard to describe, but it is a clean taste.

I love Tasty vapor juice, but it does have a heavy flavor , Dons is a cleaner flavor, not lacking in taste at all though.

I like the clean taste a lot. Sorry I cant seem to describe this better.

great review OP.....i am very happy with my first BWB order and it wont be my last, however.....like you and others said, the flavor is "not in your face" like VaporBomb or FSUSA. the quality is very good. i saw in one post that one of yall said that you can ask for extra flavoring. if that is true, i will definitely do that, and then it will be PERFECT.

Email Don through yahoo or whatever and tell him what you need, or ask questions, too. He usually replies fairly quickly. Don't know about tonight or Monday, but he should get back to you at some point.
He's also about finished with his website and if you look through the other reviews of Backwoods Brew flavors, you'll find more info.
Don is the best I've dealt with in my experience with suppliers.
