Finally have a groove going with my LR 510 dripper. Yay!

Got my order from Gremlin in and I'm loving all of them. Chocolate Overload is the best chocolate flavor I've tried yet. White Gremlin is this nice sweet lightly berried cake flavor. Horchata is a creamy almost rice pudding flavor. Berry Custard needs a bit of steeping. The berry flavor tastes a little too cough medicine FOOB. In the box it goes...

Trying FSV's The Nillson. In your face sweet lime. I know this one needs a week or two of steeping but I couldn't help myself an try it. Then went to try the CoKonaNut but I couldn't taste it very well...I think my taste buds on strike from the lime from the Nillson

Yes, I'd say this is an immature and fairly racist way to try and advertise. I'm guessing that anyone of asian descent would immediately go elsewhere to buy. Everyone else will see it and assume that if there is that much ignorance involved in the label, equal ignorance must go into making the juice itself. I doubt they are doing much business if they cant even afford a website, if it makes everyone feel better...
Ok, so who else is mildly offended by this name and branding?

Sorry for those without FB. They don't have a traditional site.

Well, it's particularly ironic since I live in Orange County, CA (so cal) and the vast majority of vapers here are of an ethnic persuasion. The Vietnamese and Filipino's have the B&M market cornered here and it seems Oh Herro is manufactured (like most top shelf brands) here as well. Might just be an *wink wink* inside joke amongst the makers, but to anyone outside their inner circle, it's a bit jarring to say the least.

Or have we become too politically correct as a society? Dunno.

there are some good lines coming out of S. Cali no doubt, but to say (like most top shelf brands) is more than a bit of a stretch, sorry!
Though the S. Cali market has come on strong and hard (A lot of high end mech mods and boutique eLiquids), it's only a couple of years in the making.

Virgin Vapor has more history in the market than most of the S. Cali lines combined, just by herself.

It's actually used less often these days, in that same article down further in the read:

The average consumer likely isn't encountering much (if any) castoreum in common food products these days, however, in large part because collecting the substance is difficult:

Due to such unpleasantness for both parties, castoreum consumption is rather small.

This is odd because it assume they are keeping them and milking them....I know a few trppers that actually just sell the glands seperatly...
Though I'm sure industry demands vs supply have pushed them in a direction of using synthetic substitutes...

However, the very thought that natural and or organic could include "fresh pressed beaver anus" when it comes to vanilla and raspberry flavors has me avoiding those flavors coincidentally...unless I know the source...

Then again...I'm stupid picky with my fruit extracts when it comes to my homebrewing as well (it's why I paid $45 per plant for my strawberries)

I'll clarify. There are more boutique, pre-bottled juice manufacturers here in Orange County/Southern California than anywhere else in the U.S. It's just a simple fact. From Space Jam to The Standard to Long Beach Juice Supply etc. - the list goes on. And I firmly believe it IS because of the large contingent of Asian vapers. They're mostly the ones who own the aforementioned companies.

Is our society becoming too PC, lmfao, as if anyone has to ask. :) People are not encouraged to speak their minds anymore.
As far as that castoreum stuff goes, you have to wonder who came up with the idea to taste such a substance in the first place?
Third, I dont see what the big deal is w/ presteeped juice. I prefer to have mine fresh made so it has max shelf life, I certainly wouldnt pay more for presteeped when I know it will steep on its own anyway, under conditions known to me.

If you scroll down the FB page, you'll see that he has to use naked women to sell his juice! I guess he is marketing to men.

Didnt even bother to scroll down, lol. I dont buy off facebook. If they cant afford a website, maybe they cant afford good ingredients or good lab equipment. Or good help...

I know you will love them. I have Legendary and Caramela. Please let me know how the Watermalone is. That is a high VG juice isn't it. I have one high Vg Strawberry Brulee, its great.

I am NOT testing my highbrow again yet. Someone please restrain me! Chanel, please let me know if your maddcatt tastes like pepper?

That's so weird yours did :( I've ordered over 10 bottles and no pepper taste. Its only 6mg so maybe that made a difference? The one thing I have noticed is their TH is very strong. I do like how they have given a sample every order, in my mg and ratio :)

I PIFed them to someone who wanted them so I can't taste them now. Just think peppery custard. YUCK.

I really want my highbrow to taste dreamy! I'm so impatient. LOL

VapeRev probably market's more eLiquid out of S. Cali (P.O.E.T., Juice by Numbers, Mr Good Vape, Ben Johnson, Midas, Rehab, etc. etc), than the other entities combined, other than 5 pawns.
But, there are a ton of good eLiquid companies not based in S. Cali. N. Cali (Virgin Vapor), Halo is bigger than probably all the S. Cali's combined in sales. Many in Texas, Florida (FuZion), Alice in Vapeland (N.M.), Ms T's (Maine or Penn. or somewhere, lol)
I am a juice hound, and have been so for a long time.
Don't get me wrong, I love the low NIC trend coming from the S. Cali area. There are new players hitting the radar every month, and I want to try them all :)

I find it very offensive. I would never order from a company like that. They must be targeting a young crowd. It's people like them that are giving the government a reason to crack down on us all.
