I think that needs to be evaluated with a "grain of salt" also.
I see some in this thread that talk about lack of flavor across a lot of eLiquid lines. Many that I find flavor friendly without requesting extra flavor shots.
Some people still have "fried" taste buds from years of smoking analogs, allergies, who knows what.
I opened a box of Space Jam samples this morning, fresh delivery. Dripped up some cotton with the first flavor "Andromeda" which is supposedly their "Flagship" blend. Took my first vape, and went, "Egads, where is the flavor"? .79 on fresh cotton should be as good as it get's for flavor. Plenty of vapor. But, I guess this 24 hour bug I've got, has really dampened my buds.

I did drip some Castle Long right on top of the Andromeda, and can taste it fine though!
Going to give SJ a 48 hour hiatus, before I crucify them for lack of flavor lol
