So, looks like I forgot to mention that CV sent me a different tester since I had already had the one that they put in my box. So I will review that here. I apologize for the tardiness of my final thoughts on the box, however, I set each bottle aside to steep a bit and then retry on fresh cotton (each... again). Sadly, this did not help. I'm afraid the whole box was a bust
. I would do my best of box, but I gave my bottles (minus CV testers) away to a coworker to see if he liked any of them.

1) CV Tester Hello, Goodbye - Frosted cupcake with orange zest. I honestly don't get a whole lot of "cake" to this, but it does have a nice frosting and and the orange zest is very nice and refreshing. It does have a certain "thickness" to the vape... So perhaps it would be more cake like on a different build? I don't know, but am not concerned as I like this one just the way it is.
2) CV Tester Good Day Sunshine - Watermelon Hardcandy. I reviewed it last time... I stand by that review. It was included in this month's box on accident and they sent me HG later. However, it still came in at the top of the box.
3) Beard Co 5 - This is a distant third for all of the aforementioned reasons. There is something just off about it and I find it offputting. While this is not an unvapable flavor for me... it isn't really one that I can say I would go to. This was also the best of the non-testers sent. The others were just unvapable for me
.
There ya have it. So far this is the only bad box that I have gotten, and hope it is an anomaly.
