I ordered the three flavors in 24, 18, and 24mg nic strengths respectively. I was getting tired of hearing about people rave about backwoodsbrew.net so I figured I should give it a shot and see what all the "hype" is about. The order did take a couple days longer than another liquid supplier I ordered from the same day, but it was well worth the wait! I've really enjoyed all 3 flavors. They have a complexity I haven't found with other juices. I would have to say their juices taste like food. Not just candy or something sweet, but well prepared food. I vape a 510 Riva with IkenVape.com cartos and SLB LR atties atm.

Peach 18mg - This is my all-day-vape. It's not too sweet so I immediately loaded a carto after tasting this and have been vaping it for almost a week now. The peach comes across almost immediately with the vape, but you really start to get it when you smell the vape. It's dead on peaches. It does have a candy characteristic which is quite similar to gummi peach-o's.jpg This flavor is great right out of the bottle. The flavor is there, but it doesn't know your teeth out. Subtle and delicious! Also lots of vapor with this flavor.

Vanilla Bean 24mg - I vape this as my bedtime snack. I love this liquid in the evenings when I'm having a drip session. It has a great vanilla flavor AND avoids having a perfumey taste, which I've been tasting in a lot of flavors after it was brought to my attention (thanks a lot guys!) It smells just as delicious as it tastes. My gf is always stealing my pv when she enters the room after I've been vaping Vanilla Bean!

Casablanca 24mg - I was genuinely excited to have a chance to taste this juice. People on the forums talk about it like it's the new RY4 and from what I've tasted thus far it is! Believe the hype! This is by far the most full bodied and delicious liquid I've vaped. There are so many flavor notes that come through cleanly and crisply when this is vaped. This flavor has a creaminess that subdues all your senses and forces them to focus on the experience. I've been vaping this at night back and forth with the Vanilla Bean. They're both great flavors, but this blows the other right out of the park. I taste caramel, vanilla, baker's cocoa and a smokiness that really ties the other flavors together. I'm vaping this slowly as to savor it and I've also heard steeping BWB's juices intensifies the subtle flavors and makes them even better!

I would really only drip the Vanilla and Casablanca. I feel their subtle notes would be lost on most cartos and substantially decrease the enjoyment you'll get from these juices!

Thank you for reading! I'll be doing a review on TopVapor flavors from madvapes.com later today. My first impressions are not so good. Check back to hear the full scoop!

Very nice review!!!
Your descriptions of Vanilla & Casablanca are excellent!
I gotta try the Peach still.

Get some Malty Toffee next time...it will blow you away.

Thanks for taking the time to write.
The BWB products are top notch...not just hype.
I've said it before, there is love in those bottles!

I am also a member of "the crew" and just want to say that I placed an order last night and one of the flavors was vanilla bean. Now I cant wait til it arrives. I do agree that it seems it does take a couple extra days for BWB's juices to arrive but IMO it's worth it, the labels are dated so you know they werent just sitting around and thrown in an envelope and mailed quickly. I would rather the little extra wait to guarantee freshness and quality. It was a toss-up for me to order the peach or the blueberry and am happy to hear an opinion of the peach. It's now officially on the list (matter of fact I'm not sure there isnt one of Don's juices that isn't)

The only thing that differs for me is that phorbin stated a 10 day steep for malty toffee but mine was extraordinary right out of the bottle. I guess it depends on the mix or weather or even vaper, but I do agree that malty toffee ranks right up there with Honey Flue nut for best juice I've ever Vaped!!!!

Malty Toffee is good right away, just better after 10 days...as is most everything I've tried from BWB...the steep time just allows the flavors to mature...my malty toffee born on 12/10/10 was good the day I got it...today freaking fantastic...showed my e-cig to a guy at the bank on friday & blew some MT into the teller area...the girls were like wow...that smells great...

I highly recommend the Blueberry...which was better after about 10 days...

Thank you All for the feedback. It's great to see the views piling on! This really is some great juice and well worth the extra couple days.
I want to add Welcome to IkenVape will be coming out with their juice line soon and from what I've heard the results should be spectacular. Basic flavors to start, but I heard their RY4 is really gonna make some heads turn! Expect it soon!

Also; Thank You for the suggestions on other BWB flavors. I have about 20 flavors from different suppliers in rotation right now, but will definitely be patronizing Don's business! I'm very new to vaping and though the pv threads are still over my head I felt I could do my part to serve the community with juice reviews while on my quest for the perfect vape. I realize that's like searching for the holy grail or maybe even snipe hunting, but it's one I've really been enjoying thus far. Today marks 2 weeks analog free after smoking for 14 years. I've become very passionate about these products and most importantly this forum; because it is you all that led me to a good pv after trying 711 e-hookahs and the likes. After receiving my Riva in the mail it has really opened my eyes to the W I D E world of vaping. I'm no longer chained to my specific brand and strength. I can choose from whatever I desire at that moment and I'm consuming about 2/3 of the nicotine I was on analogs. Needless to say I love these products and this forum. Thank You!

Congrats on your 2 weeks! Yes this forum has definitely helped many people, myself included, stay off of analogs. Lots of helpful members! Keep on vaping!
Oh, and great review. I totally agree with your BWB opinions. My husband loves the Casablanca and I love the Vanilla Bean among many others. I will have to try the Peach now. I'm not a Peach lover, but my sister who has recently converted over to PV's loves Peach. So I will be the guinea pig for her!

Congrats on converting your sis! Like I said it's more of a Peach Rings candy flavor, but not sickeningly sweet. I've literally vaped this everyday since I got it and will order a bigger bottle when I get around to trying everything that has come in since I started! You won't be disappointed with that one.

I've got 30ml of Vanilla Bean enroute now with about 7 other of Don's special liquids. :thumb:

I usually steep BWB for a week or so...just shake the bottle really well every couple of days...not the vanilla bean...three days in it's over half gone!!! Guess I will have to steep the next bottle!

I got my vanilla bean 4 days ago and I am not getting any flav hardly at all. Even when I taste it with my finger I just get a little taste of sweetness.

I recently purchased an LR306 & BWB doesn't fare well with it.
On my Riva, it does best with a 2.5 atty or the ce2 2.4-2.6...
