They are definitely easy to taste/not faint. I am also getting mine in 6mg of nic now and have found that with some vendors that makes the flavors more weak. They are for sure more bold than Alice in Vapeland and Backwoods Brew..but then those guys are known for being more subtle. They beat Virgin Vapors hands down in that department as well.

I think the thing I like the most about them so far though is that straight out of the mailbox, I have yet to find anything with a funny, chemical, perfumey or otherwise suspect odd taste. I can no longer do MBV, though they are top notch with customer service because of that. Vapor Chef is another that I find icky in most cases..and also much fainter flavor btw. I have liked nearly all I have tried right away and they have gotten even better with a week or so steep. Deadly Sin is what most cinnamon roll flavors wish they were.

Their sample packs are very affordable and that was how I started out with them as well. I now own 3 big bottles and after tonight will be adding at least four more to my collection. These guys are truly top notch.

Oh..one more thing. If you like absinthe/black licorice and want a good strong in your face flavor, you really need to try their Fairy flavors, especially the black fairy. I absolutely HATE black licorice so they are not for me, but my mom loves it and vapes 0 nic. They are her absolute favorites ever, and she is ALWAYS complaining about juice being too weak in flavor, even on stuff I think is great.

McSpicy,

The flavors are among some of the best, most dead on and strong I've come across yet. I ordered 2 sampler packs, so far I've tried El Kamino which I talked about a few posts ago in this thread, Melon Boba, Zombie Blood, and Panty Dropper. All with the exception of panty dropper impressed me. They all had great flavor and throat hit, but with Melon Boba it's such an authentic and strong cantaloupe flavor you really have to like like cantaloupe to appreciate it, otherwise it can come off as cloying. I was not impressed with Panty Dropper, weak throat hit and the flavor was just meh. But overall I'm impressed with everything I've tried thus far.

Most of the glv flavors I have tried are pretty strong on the flavor, in a good way.

Keep in mind, these have only steeped for about 1 week. My El Kamino just arrived yesterday.

I currently have.......

Deadly Sin,
love it. Very nice strong flavor.

Zombie Blood,
with and without menthol.
Both great strong flavor...I only asked for a little menthol in 1 of the bottles and they nailed it.

Atom Bomb,
Another good strong flavor. Asked for same level of menthol. Seems a hair stronger, but perfect for the flavor.

925,
This one is perfect.

Cosmic Crunch,
This one blows me away. It so closely replicates Capn Chunch Berries.
Even down to the cereal notes.
Kinda heavy on the throat hit, but I like flavors with very light TH.

Melon Boba,
Great tasting flavor, but seems kinda weak compared to the previous ones I mentioned.

El Kamino,
Great flavor, but kinda weak compared to the rest. Im hoping steeping brings it out a bit.
Weird thing...........Regarding the El Kamino.
Tonight I was shopping at whole foods.
Asked if they had any vegetable glycerin.
They did. 100% pure VG.
500ml for 9 bux.
Kinda spendy, but I figured I'd pick it up and try it out for mixing some diy juice.
When I got home I popped the seal and figured Id give a dab a taste.
Dripped some on my finger and tasted it.
It was super sweet.
So wanting to see how it vapes, I decided to pull the wick and coil on my IgoL.
Wrapped up a new coil with 29ga kanthal measuring at 1.1ohm.
Popped a fresh piece of cotton in and loaded it up with my new vg.
It vaped great.
Huge clouds and a nice subtle sweet taste.
Vaped most of and decided to revisit the El Kamino.
The wick was still wet with vg and I put a few drops of el kamino in and vaped away........I was blown away.
It tasted so close to bobas bounty.
That little bit of sweet vg mixed with the EK was awesome.

I may mix up a small batch of the vg with some ek in a 5ml bottle and see what it does.

I just opened up my Deadly Sin sample and put it in my carto tank.... Whoa momma!

I'm not a sweets guy at all. Usually if we have dessert I take a single bite if anything, I just don't have a sweet tooth at all. I certainly don't have any kind of love for dessert or confectionary vapes but this stuff is on another level!

I put it in my sample pack just because of all the rage and I get it. This stuff is delicious. I've had deserts at resturaunts that aren't this good. Lol

Throat hit is a little on the mild side but enough to satisfy. Great stuff.

Thanks for the replies, folks. Yeah, I'm a flavor ...... My DIY I've worked up is in the 25-30% flavor area I've found; depending on the actual flavor strength. Get above 30% and your in danger-land, that seems to be the place where maybe even 2 extra drops can turn it from pretty good into battery acid.

Haven't dropped the hammer on an order yet, but I'll be patrolling the thread scratching my chin.

El Kamino is decent, but lacks body--it's all top notes.

After a few more days out of the mailbox, the El Kamino is getting better.
The banana flavor is much more faint, and the tobacco seems to be a little more in the background. I think it's due to the fact that the sweeter notes are starting to come through.
It's starting to grow on me.
But since everyone compares it to bobas, it has some pretty large boots to fill.
 
Bringing this thread back from the dead! Ordered Deadly Sin, El Kamino, Bangkok Dangerous, and Nanas Nuts. I let all steep for one week. Deadly sin was glorious! El Camino was amazing but gunked the coil after 2-3ml. After the coil was gunked all I tasted was straight banana.... clean the coil and new wick, back to awesome. Bangkok Dangerous has a strong spice or incense flavor to me but decent. Nanas nuts, banana was so heavy I didn't get any other flavors.
