I'm also a Shipwreck lover! I had vaped it 2-3 years ago and then got away from it when I started exploring more fruits and desserts. I came back to it late last fall and now I don't want to be without it again. I haven't tried mixing it with Caramel Wild Wood-hmm, sounds interesting...
Oh it is really delicious mixed like that! I think the two compliment each other terrifically! I find that the caramel really pops with the addition of the toastiness of the Shipwreck.

I have had a Gun Metal Zencoat Mini for over a year now. It is the finest most durable metal finish that I have used.

Early this morning I used my coil building magnifiers to look for Blemishes on my newly received GMZ Mini and Standard Titanium (Did not pay $29.99 for this one).

Did not see a Blemish on either. The blemished Provari's are an absolute steal for the lower voltage/wattage performance and reliability.

Yup. I got a P3 GMZ blem and can't find a fault. It certainly wasn't quite the bargain basement price as the Mini, but still a nice deal, and for me a nicer looking mod.

Nicoticket - I see both sides of the argument re their marketing efforts. I understand their entire marketing strategy is based on ECF, and since they pay good money to be a vendor here, i understand they try to use their presence here to their advantage. There are other vendors who are completely Reddit based.

I did find some of their solicitation emails a little over the top though, especially the ones directing their customers to register on ECF and post five times on the newbie forum, before being eligible to vote ! Also the one encouraging fans of discontinued flavors to vote, and if they place in top three, they will put them back on the menu !

My main issue with Nicoticket ( completely subjective ) is their way too liberal ( imo ) use of butter flavoring and sweetener ( which reminds me, i tried the uber-popular muffin man a couple of weeks ago, also too much sweetener for me ) in their liquids. Just came across three bottles of their ( Nico ) juice in my stash, now completely black in color ! Never seen any juice change color as fast and as dramatically as theirs does.
I'll say again so there's no misunderstanding, that when I was new to vaping I really enjoyed the NT juices and they did their job keeping me from returning to cigs. But, after a while they just became very coarse and unpleasant. And, when pulling a bottle from my "storage" it was just plain not good.

All I know is Shipwreck is very good. Lime? Very doubtful. And Idk about Coconut either? Could be a tad. Well worth a try IMHO.
Agreed. I don't find a hint of lime. If there's coconut, it's so slight that it melts off into the sunset unnoticed.

And the flavor fades very quickly.
I have been dying to get this and the OREO one too from FRD

The Oreo one is super good too. I only sampled it in the vape store and like to vape about 30mls before I review a juice. There have been plenty of times something tasted good in a store so I bought it only to find out 2 days later that I dont really care for it

I believe it is spelled YUUGE !!
My mistake brotha. :lol:
It was YUUGE !!! It racked up YUUGE points as well. So I'm good for a bit on TPR.
Y'all need a sale from Ahl? I could fix that for ya..Just wait until my next order and it's a done deal as usual. :D

I really loved CN Pistachio RY4, too. It's the first tobacco vape I've ever fallen for. I sucked right through my first 30ml and haven't ordered more just because I have too damn much juice, but if anyone posts a 50% off sale for them again, I will be first in line for a couple of BIG bottles of it! Nothing else I got from Charlie really sang to me, but boy, that one really did! I think I will want to try the Stroopwafel, too.

So, I got my Pink Ribbon and Sangria Purple Provari minis, and I think I love them. They are so, so pretty, and I can't find a flaw on them. The purple one seems to have a short 510 well, as the 510 tanks I have won't screw down flush, but I'm pretty sure I can pick up a spacer somewhere, just for looks. Otherwise, they both look and perform flawlessly, so far!

I believe there are several peeps on this thread that like Shipwreck and it is on my to try list. I am a little confused though as a reviewer mentioned lime, coconut and tobacco — all three ingredients I like. However in the description it does not state lime and coconut. What is your take on Shipwreck? Thanks.
Just stumbled across this and thought I would give my take:
Toasty tobacco goodness with just a tiny twang that you really would not even know is lime unless you read the description.

Good seeing you here Lisa. I haven't been on the Ahl thread since my return. Maybe later I'll pop in and say hello.

Interesting - the 'description' on the AHL website did not mention lime unless my eye sight is going. I saw it mentioned by a reviewer.

When I first started vaping, I bought all my eliquids at my neighborhood B&M as I was not aware there were online vendors. I was really green and did not even know what “ECF” was. Same thing would happen to me — I would try something and like it so I would purchase. Get home and it didn’t taste as good. After about three or four months I discovered online vendors and haven’t purchased an eliquid in a B&M since then. I think you are smart to wait to review an eliquid until you have vaped 30mls.

First impressions are helpful for those of us that don't want to wait. Always good to know if juice is ready to go out of the mail than wait for weeks watching it steep away. I've found a few that are actually better without a long steep. I'm also guarded on giving a bad review until I felt I gave the juice enough time and effort with different tanks or builds and the like.

I do most of my shopping online but still go to my local b&d and buy a juice just to support a local business. I'm lucky that my shop has friendly and knowledgeable people for the most part. Nice to get a look at gear before pulling the trigger too. I would do more business with them if I could look around paying triple the price for stuff.

If anyone is interested in a blem ProVari, today is a good day to buy one. Normal blem price is @29.95 for the Minis (not the P3). Even at 29.95 it is still an awesome price.

Maybe somebody told me. Either way when I found out I was shocked but I paid attention after that and there it was..that little twang
