I just ordered from BWB Caramel Cappuccino, Applewood and Peach. Who's had these? Any other opinions on flavors from them?

I am not a cappuccino or peach person but their applewood is good. It isn't a favorite of mine since it has more of a green apple than red apple flavor. I enjoy their rootbeer and have fallen in love with their cherry tobacco. I just took advantage of their sale and ordered 120ml's of the cherry tobacco
I have them. CC and Applewood were in my first BWB order in 2010. I still vape them as well as almost all of the BWB flavors I have ordered. I cannot think of one that I just "blecked" on.
I recommend letting the Applewood steep a week. Great vape especially on the exhale.
The CC was fantastic straight out of the bottle and the Peach was my first fruit flavor from any vendor.
I was hesitant because I had read reviews of other fruity flavors from other vendors but was assured this was the bomb of Peach and it was spot on. Not candy strawberry whatsoever. Simply 100% just bit into a peach peach.
Definitely try Green Apple = also no candy flavor at all.
I only vape from three vendors now 2 years after I began and BWB is one of them.
Check out the BWB forum for recommendations. You will not be disappointed.
Enjoy!

Cherry tobacco sounds great. I may consider if I end up liking the juice I've ordered from them.
Hey the3orpdeenyse! How's it Go-Going? I've done most of my juice shopping at BWB. I really liked the Applewood at first, but got kind of tired of it. If it turns out you like it, PM me and I'll send you the 20 or so mL's I have lying around. The only issue I have with Backwoods is that a lot of their juices require a while to steep -- at least a week or two, maybe more. I haven't tried Carmel Cappuccino, but I had Cappuccino and it wasn't so good at first, but after a couple of weeks it turned into a nice vape. But by all means, try them out when you get them and if you like them, great! If not, give them some time.
Their Orchard Frost, Malty Toffee, Malty, Mango, Watermelon, and Peach are good, but I mostly go for their tobacco flavors. Casablanca is awesome, but I usually steep it for a month or so before I like it. Their RY4 and eJoker were amazing, but I think they're discontinued now. Virginia is a good solid tobacco, as are Backo and Honey Flue. I personally don't like their fruity tobaccos as much because I think the fruit kind of drowns out the tobacco IMHO. I loved 555 Exotic, but I'm on the fence about it now. If you're into menthols, their Menthol Tobacco is the most accurate that I've tried.

Sounds promising!
As is mine.
That's what I was hoping for.
I had no clue that existed. Excellent advice Boom, thankyou.
Got me even more excited about my order!
Hey the3orpdeenyse! How's it Go-Going?
What's up, buddy!
I quite enjoy a good menthol vape, actually, see I was a menthol smoker, so I am definately interested now that you said that. Got some Premium Tobacco Menthol from Cigeasy on the way. I'll let you know how that one is when it arrives.
And I'll hit you up on that Applewood if I like it, very nice of you.
If you end up going for the Backwoods Menthol Tobacco at some point, I'd recommend bumping it up to "strong" flavoring. I was only an occasional menthol smoker, but with the BWB Menthol, I could have sworn I was smoking one. Most other menthols I've tried taste like they use peppermint or something like that and try to pass it off as menthol. Fail, in my opinion! I should have emphasized that Orchard Frost in my previous post too -- it's not an all-dayer for me, but it's a pretty interesting vape -- a touch of menthol and cinnamon, and apple, I think. It kind of tastes like vaping a Christmas store, which I know probably doesn't sound too appealing, but you'll just have to take my word on this one!
BWB 555 Exotic is fantastic. great tobacco vape with a very interesting nutty twist.
Kemosabe, in your experience, does that stuff go bad, or rather, lose flavor with time? I know that our tastes change, but I ordered a 10 mL last February and relished it down to the last drop, and felt slightly panicky when it was gone. I ordered a 30 mL at the beginning of March and now there's probably 7 mL or so left (I tend to keep a lot of flavors in rotation). I don't think I'm going through a flavorless period because the others I'm vaping taste normal, but the 555 Exotic is not as full and rich as I remember. I'm only getting a little hint of the nice bite that the 555 E I remember had, and the flavor seems totally muted.
Love your avatar, btw!
There could be 2 things happening. First is the juice is steeping, and is changing over time. Flavors that were in your face when it was fresh are becoming less pronounced. BWB tobacco juices are known to take up to 2 months to fully steep. Second is that you might have tired taste buds. Put the 555 Exotic down for a few days and vape your other flavors. Then, come back to it, and it should come back to life a little.

I've heard great things about that flavor, but I'm not sure about the nutty factor. Nutty as in peanut butter?
The eJoker was an instant smash for me. It's a strange one and I'll bet a lot of people don't like it, but I LOVE the stuff. Their RY4 is famous and in huge demand when you can get it. I love RY4's in general and I like BWB's, but to me it isn't as good as its press.
Oddly enough, I can tell that even the flavors I don't care for are very high quality, so I'm going to work my way through their selection a little at a time. I'm betting they have some others I'll love.

Yea I see that both E-joker and RY4 are limited to one a person. That REALLY got me curious. I thought dang, those must be incredible! I've seen descriptions and opinions on RY4, but how would you describe E-joker?
IMO there is a nutty back to it but not so much a peanut - maybe a hazelnut? It is not very obvious but sort of a twisty spice.
Sounds odd but tastes fantastic.
I'll take a stab at it -- eJoker has four main components that I detect -- cinnamon, menthol, vanilla, and a rich, dark tobacco. You detect the menthol on the inhale, and then the vanilla and tobacco (this tobacco reminds me of a maduro cigar, and I believe it's the same tobacco base they use in the RY4), and you get the cinnamon on the exhale. Basically it's cool, then it's warm (or is it the other way around? It's been a little while since I've had this one).
Someone who follows the Backwoods forum more regularly than I do would know better than me, but if I'm not mistaken, the RY4 and eJoker have been discontinued because the owner has had difficulties getting the tobacco base. That was the word as of last March or April, but things might have changed.
I think that Orchard Frost is very similar to eJoker, only minus the tobacco and (and possibly the vanilla), and plus apple and perhaps some other fruits.

Thanks the3orpdeenyse! How do I abbreviate your name so I don't have to type that out each time?
Thanks spaceballsrules, but I'm not convinced that that's the issue here. I've been buying Backwoods for almost two years now and am aware of the radical transformations that can take place with these juices. I've had the same bottle of Cherry Tobacco for quite a while now, and it's more or less the same now as it was when it was two weeks old. I know that some BWB customers store bottles away for extended periods of time, and I'm doing that myself with a bottle of RY4 and a bottle of eJoker.
My first 10 mL of 555 E changed dramatically within the first week or two, and then seemed to plateau. I took about a month to vape it all, and it was just as Kemosabe describes. My second (30 mL purchased at the beginning of March) bottle was great once it steeped a bit, for like a week maybe. I had some toward the end of April and it was still pretty good, but not quite as amazing, which made me think that I was just getting tired of it. I hadn't touched it since then.
I loaded up a tank last week on one of my devices and vaped it here and there (and am vaping it now) with the same result: the closest way I can describe it is that it tastes a little like watered down lemony Pledge, but otherwise almost flavorless. That interesting rich nutty component that's normally so prominent is gone, or so muted down that it's practically unrecognizable. I've been vaping other juices that are in my rotation in the interim, and they all taste the way I expect them to taste, so I don't think I've been going through a bad taste period or anything like that. I've got a bottle of Casablanca purchased at the same time that's better now than ever.
This issue with the 555 E just seemed a little strange to me because I haven't had this happen with other BWB juices. I was just wondering if this is normal (maybe this is just how it ends up after it's really fully steeped), or if the juice is actually breaking down and long-term storage might not be the best way to go with this one.
