Hey again, ECFers! We've worked long and hard developing our Privileged line of premium flavors here at Central Vapors, and we want y'all to have the opportunity to taste the fruits of our labor.

We've done giveaways in the past, but this time there are many more prizes to offer, albeit smaller ones. :) Up for grabs are our three initial premium flavor installments from the Privileged lineup: Prestige, Honor, and Fortune. We have several bottles with nicotine concentrations in 0, 6, and 12mg. We'd love to know what you think of each of them based on their product descriptions on the site, including which one appeals to you most and why. Give us your thoughts and we'll select a generous handful of you guys to receive a sample. It's that easy!

We welcome any discussion about our other flavors as well, and I'll be here to address any questions you may have about our products. Thanks for stopping by, and happy vaping! :vapor:

HONOR - nice short description but maybe add what the fruit is for the "slight fruity exhale". Most people like to know the fruit flavor as they each have likes and dislikes for them. 7 out of 10

PRESTIGE - Again, what is the fruit for the "candied fruit flavor". 7 out of 10

FORTUNE - This one has a good description. Lists the flavors and even has a touch of humor with it. 10 out of 10

I like that the ingredients and 50/50 ratio is given on each page. Easy to find and don't have to search for them (or even be left wondering) like some sites.

Overall they're good descriptions except for the missing fruits on the two.

Thanks for the chance.

1. Prestige: This one interests me the most @50/50 0mg

This ejuice demands prestige with it's well rounded candied fruit flavor and just a smidgen of cream. You're welcome.

2. Honor:

Trust us, you'll be honoring the vape community every time you use this ejuice. Hearty cream flavor with a slight fruity exhale.

3. Fortune:

Purr was this flavors' original nickname, we thought it was fun to enunciate pear wrong until we decided it's name.

Fortunately for all of us, we got the name and flavor just right. Predominate pear flavor with a touch of coconut cream.

Fortune has the best description as to exactly what flavor. Descriptions of Honor and Prestige do no have the fruit listed, could result in overlook.Most people want to know what fruit, why take a chance on a fruit you may not like?

Hey vapesrus is back!!

Before I give you my input, I should say a couple of things about my own issue with descriptions. After more than a year of vaping, I have learned a bit about my personal proclivities regarding descriptions of juice, buying habits and eventual success and satisfactions. For a long time I bought whatever looked good in the description as far as what I thought my personal tastes for flavors were...this did not work out well. I wound up with lots of purchases that really were not that great for me and, only once in a great while, I got a decent one. In the long run, I found that reviews were the thing...the more the better...and that they trumped what "I thought" I should like. I have more success and satisfaction when I buy a flavor that has lots of great reviews and people describing it as "their favorite" or "amazing", even if it is not a flavor that really appeals to me as far as the description of the flavors and what the profile is. Long story short, I just wanted to let you know that, in my experience, descriptions have really become less and less important versus reviews and recommendations. That being said, a good description is still important to me from that standpoint that I want to know what the main ingredients are so I know which ones to focus on and which ones to exclude...for instance I don't like black licorice and no matter how great the reviews are, it would not be for me.


I agree with Mac and Sir2's comments about wanting to know what the fruits in the Honor and Prestige are. I enjoy certain fruits but really don't handle others very well, so this is important to know.

Prestige and Honor:

I love that you differentiated the candied fruit in Prestige versus the "slightly fruity exhale" of Honor, as well as the distinct difference in the cream levels between the two. For me (again, short of having reviews to rely on), I think I would prefer the Prestige as I tend to like candied fruit flavors and not too heavy on the cream. It is amazing to me how often juice sellers fail to mention if a fruit flavor is candied or more natural tasting...and this is a big thing, so I'm glad you do this!

Fortune:

Fortune sounds wonderful to me. Some of my favorite flavors have been those unusual ones that have a light coconut flavor going on underneath something bigger, and pear sounds interesting (don't think I've ever had a pear flavor). This has me curious and drooling:laugh: .


"Completely Diacetyl Free Flavoring Ingredients Made In The USA. 100% Kosher Certified,USP Grade Propylene Glycol and 100% Kosher Certified,USP Grade Vegetable Glycerin (All Made in the USA) Nicotine in our e Juice E-Liquid is derived from hand picked USA tobacco leaves."

I appreciate seeing this below each flavor. I don't have to go searching for answers about important things like this. Even though I vape 0mg nicotine, I also like to know that you use nic from the USA as well.

I think your "emulsificationists" :laugh: are on the right track, as these flavors sound very appealing. Tweaking the descriptions a bit to detail what fruits are included and doing your best to get lots of reviews on the website are what would make me a happy consumer.

Best of luck with this line!!

I agree with the others that not listing at least the predominant fruit might deter people from buying (me, for example). I don't do certain citrus flavored vapes and I would probably be disappointed if I purchased only to discover it was lime or orange. For that reason, Fortune appeals to me the most -- I dig pear and coconut.

Thanks for another giveaway! I am enjoying the istick mini and mini nautilus from the last one! :)

First of all, I want to say:

. . .
happy-easter-multi-animated-1.gif~original



And about the new Flavors:

I had a hard time finding them... they weren't under 'New Flavors', and the 'Privileged Premium Vapor Liquid' was on the Menu on the left-hand side of your page between 'Mod' and 'Ecig Batteries'! It might be better if you moved it up with the other Liquids... :?:

HONOR
"Hearty cream flavor with a slight fruity exhale."
Too vague... What kind of fruits?? There are certain fruits that I don't care for and would like to know just what's in it...


PRESTIGE
"This ejuice demands prestige with it's well rounded candied fruit flavor and just a smidgen of cream."
Again... What kind of fruit?? And just how 'sweet' is it for a 'candied fruit' flavor??


FORTUNE
"Purr was this flavors' original nickname, we thought it was fun to enunciate pear wrong until we decided it's name.
Fortunately for all of us, we got the name and flavor just right. Predominate pear flavor with a touch of coconut cream."
Much more descriptive... :) (and I'm glad you didn't keep the name 'Purr', unless it had a Cat on the label... lol)


Out of all the flavors, I would tend to go with the 'Fortune' because it sounds like a really interesting mix... something other than a spiced pear.
Although I love creamy vapes, especially mixed with berries, I would shy away from the 'mystery fruit' flavors, and don't care for juice that is too sweet...


Thanks for asking for our input, and the chance to try some of your new juice!! :thumb:

I would have to agree with the others.I like some fruit flavors and can't stand others,so without knowing or at least having a clue as to what fruits are in the Prestige and honor,so i would be very hesitant about spending money on a juice that could very possibly be in that list of flavors that i know i don't like.Overall the descriptions are pretty good,as long as a person likes all the fruit flavors,but for those of us that don't,it could definitely deter alot of potential buyers.
The Fortune has a very good description,and sounds like it should be a really good juice,this is more like the way the others should be detailed,as it clearly tells you what flavor to expect from it.

Here's my impression of these liquids:

Honor sounds like I might enjoy it, but the fruit flavor is a little too vague to make me want to buy it without trying it.

Prestige wouldn't likely suit me, as I don't care for most fruit dominant flavors. Which particular fruit might influence my decision though.

Fortune would be an absolute must try for me. I really like the idea of a creamy pear coconut. My initial reaction when I read the description was YES!

Overall, I like the thorough description of the liquids components and sources, as well as the pictures of the bottles. I strongly prefer clear liquids with minimal color and being able to see the bottles is much more useful than slick graphics.

One thing to consider for the future is offering larger bottle sizes in case one of the Prestige liquids becomes an all day vape!

Thanks for the fun!

FORTUNE, Has a good description and the Pear with coconut sounds like a good combo that I think people would like to try.

PRESTIGE The smidgen of cream sounds inviting with the sweetness of candied fruit but maybe a flavor for the candied fruit might bring more people to try it

HONOR Hearty cream flavor with a slight fruity exhale does not sound quite for me Real heavy cream just doesn't appeal as a personal taste for me lighter is better and again what fruit or fruits might we taste on the exhale if you really don't want to say a specif flavor you could hint to it like exotic tropical fruit or something similar..

I am a fruit flavor lover, they compose about 80% of my juice box and 50/50 is my preferred ratio so that was nice to see. :)

The descriptions are short and sweet without being generic/soul less. I do like the choice of fonts on the labels.

I agree with what was previously said about mentioning the type of fruit or at least the one that stands out the most in a particular flavor if there are multiple fruits. I also agree with remarks opinion about reviews being crucial in deciding whether or not to try a new flavor or a new vendor for that matter, even if it's only a couple reviews.

There are a couple typos my OCD is nagging me to point out. When you put the cursor over the orange question mark next to Size it says "10ml bottles are nice for trying a new flavors." and Flavor Level: "We will be happy to add a touch more".

As for which one appeals to me the most, that's a tough choice... I will say 1.Fortune 2.Prestige 3.Honor, so long as Prestige isn't too sweet it could go up or down a spot.

If I am Fortunate enough to try these Prestigious juices, it would be an Honor and a Privilege. :p

1. Prestige:

This ejuice demands prestige with it's well rounded candied fruit flavor and just a smidgen of cream. You're welcome.

I agree with the others, it would be nice to know which kind of candied fruit. Some I would like, but others I probably wouldn't, so I probably wouldn't order this without sampling it first

2. Honor:

Trust us, you'll be honoring the vape community every time you use this ejuice. Hearty cream flavor with a slight fruity exhale.

As the others have said, what kind of fruit, and is it authentic fruit, or candy tasting?

3. Fortune:

Purr was this flavors' original nickname, we thought it was fun to enunciate pear wrong until we decided it's name.Fortunately for all of us, we got the name and flavor just right. Predominate pear flavor with a touch of coconut cream.

Very nice description. I'm not much of a coconut fan, but I would probably try this anyway, because the pear sounds really good.

I like that you put Diacetyl Free clearly under the description. It shows that you care. :)

Hi There, Vapesrus, and congratulations on the launch of your new product line at Central Vapors! I bet you are very excited :)

My perceptions of descriptions:

Prestige - Mystery Juice. yeah. no
Thanks for saying it's a candy flavor, makes me think of lifesavers, but what kind of candied fruit? fruit cocktail? tropical fruit? citrus family? And is that cream a 'sweet' cream' ? or is it a light, milky cream ? what makes it different from the 'hearty cream' of Honor?


Honor - Mystery Juice - maybe next time? or, I'm only buying this to get to the free shipping limit
What is a "hearty" cream? sweet cream? a delicious vanilla cream? If it's a mixer, what fruit-family is in there so I know how to use it to mix with? Is it a candy fruit like Prestige or a true-fruit? Is it a stand-alone? What else can you add to the description that would make me want to put a strong cream in my cart after I've already passed up Prestige?

Fortune - Strong Buy.
I know exactly the flavor profile I'm purchasing. Pear plus a cream and that cream is coconut cream. But --- is it lightly sweet, or delightfully sweet? I like the "story" but tell me a tiny bit more.


Other flavors: Irish Cream - is there strong coffee and whiskey in there? or is it milkshakey/whipcreamy/bland as pictured?
Winterberry - Is it a spicy, tart or a sweet berry/fruit? true menthol or mint variety?


If I were selected to test-trial, I would prefer 0mg and 12mg of a single flavor to compare how your house nic affects flavor taste. My sample preference would be whatever is the least preferred by others. So far that seems to be trending towards Honor as the least favorite. Small samples work well for me so surprise me!


Thanks very much for the opportunity! And congratulations to those selected, I'm looking forward to the reviews of Honor and Prestige !!

Thank you for the contest and I really don't have much different to say but here goes!!

Honor. - sounds like a smoothie to me...I love creamy flavors combined with fruit but I really do like to know which fruit/fruits are being used if I am going to buy without tasting.

Prestige - this flavor also sounds good to me with the creamy exhale . But again I like to know which fruits.

Fortune - great description and would think that I would love it...pear with coconut cream. It's a very unusual flavor combination that I think will appeal to all the pear lovers plus all the coconut lovers....sounds great!!!

Thanks again for the fun contest!

Thanks for your responses, everyone. You all seem to be on the same page about the lack of fruit descriptions for Prestige and Honor, so I'll let you in on the details! :)

Prestige is a mix of kiwi and candied watermelon with what I would call a light, milky cream. The only candy flavor is watermelon, not the kiwi.

Honor is dragon fruit with a much more pronounced creamy complement. No candy flavor to this one.

You all know what's in Fortune, and now that I've read what you had to say about each one, I wish I had more samples of this one to give out! :( And to answer TaketheRedPill, the sweet is definitely delightful rather than light.

I should note that the vague descriptions for Prestige and Honor weren't oversights, but rather an attempt to entice by mystery. We thought perhaps some customers would enjoy the guesswork involved in identifying these flavors, but I do agree that it's nice to know just what you're getting sometimes. Whether we post more specific descriptions to the product pages for the general public is something we'll have to discuss between staff members here at Central Vapors, but your input is greatly appreciated, so thank you all very much!

Except for the Fortune, I can't imagine the flavor from the description. They are too vague to get the idea of exact flavor.

I am a big fan of fruity vaping, and tried several different fruit flavors such as strawberry, kiwi, pear, tangerine, dragonfruit, apple, melon, lemon with or without cream mix.
And I believe everyone has their own preference on fruit.
So, just liked others posted, you need to put exact name of the fruit with the idea of athentic or candy flavor.
For me, I never order anything which is mysterious without strong positive feedback from several users.

Honor:Trust us, you'll be honoring the vape community every time you use this ejuice. Hearty cream flavor with a slight fruity exhale (?).

Prestige: This ejuice demands prestige with it's well rounded candied fruit flavor (?) and just a smidgen of cream. You're welcome.

Fortune: Predominate pear flavor with a touch of coconut cream <-- sounds very yum!

Thank you for the chance & Good luck for the premium line! :)
