I got hooked on 555 when I first started vaping and TW sent me a free 5ml sample of their State Express. It was like a light went on for me, so I ordered 5 30ml bottles. But the next time I ordered it around last Xmas I got it and it tasted like cigar that's been sitting in an ashtray after it was stubbed out. I sent it back thinking it was mislabeled but got the same thing back. I did that twice...so no more TW.

I have MFS 555 and its not bad...a kinda dry peanut flavor...but I use some of it in my own DIY mix. His Peanut Butter and English Toffee is great too.

I cant stand that strong solvent taste of Dekang anymore so I mainly DIY.

I'm with you, lotus. I ordered some DIYFlavorShack 555 today and even got one bottle with "double flavor" so I could improve the flavor of some rather flat 555 I currently have. For me, the nuttier the better. I did try some Nhaler juice just recently, and I LOVE the vapor and throat hit I get from it, but the taste is virtually non-existent for me. I had hoped to fall in love with it, especially since I so enjoy buying from Drew, but it's just not for me.

Hello SusanB! I found this here on the forums, but haven't tried it yet:

************************
Nicotime posted this recipe... so here's one.. lets keep them coming pls.

I love 555 also. The mix I make for a 30ml bottle is as follows;

3ml of Lorann Peanut Butter
1ml of FlavorArts Virginia/Burley mix 50/50, or your favorite tobacco flavor
.1ml of Lorann Chocolate
.3ml of Lorann Caramel
1 drop of FlavorArts Peanut...which is RAW peanut flavor very potent...not required though.

Then add your PG/VG/PGA and unflavored Nicotine base mix to the top.

Mine is approx;

12.5ml of 60mg/ml unflavored Nicotine
10ml PG
2.5ml VG
.5ml PGA

Makes a nic level of 25%

Also, you might want to look at this thread in its entirety, as their is a fair amount of DIY 555 discussion here:

I tried Drew's Nhale/Xhale 555 and found it to be okay. It lacked the vapor clouds that I get from the VG liquids but that is to be expected. Has a great flavour and is nice and smooth. Must say that I didnt get a great throat hit from it, vaping it on my 510.

Just a quick note. Mixed it with Nhales Vanilla Custard and it was awesome.

Have ordered some 555 from cignot and will post a quick review when it shows up.

Kappa..let me know what you think of cignot's 555...I love it so I want to compare to someone elses description of it. Thanks :cool:

Susan...I pretty much use PA flavors now and the tobacco mix has PA tobacco absolute added in now to...a 1/3 of each.

Best thing to do is find a tobacco mix you like...mix your unflavored to a little higher nic than you want to end up with...then mix the flavoring and test it in some PG...then combine everything and adjust.

Nice review. Thank you for posting it. I ordered some 555 from Dawn a couple of weeks ago, and I was extremely pleased with the service I received. In addition to the 555, my order had a couple of other items in it, and a question arose about how exactly I wanted one flavor prepared. Instead of emailing me and waiting for my response, Dawn called me up and we had a nice chat about the question and my order as a whole. She was terrific.

As far as the 555 goes, I really did like the flavor, but it wasn't quite as flavorful as I had hoped. I had read other folks talking about how they had felt like they were vaping "straight nuts" when they tried Dawn's 555, and I was a little disappointed that the flavors weren't stronger in the order I received. Like I said, the flavor was great, but there just wasn't enough of it. It just seemed a little flat to me. I've set it aside for a little while and I'm hoping it will mature into a fuller-flavored vape.

All that being said, I was so pleased with the overall experience at DIY Flavorshack, I fully plan to place another order very shortly. This is the type of business and service that I definitely want to support.
