Clever vape Bean Me Up: Real strong coffee flavor, just what I asked for. Only problem is that if I vape it too much it seems to take on a "fishy" flavor, maybe from overheating? So it can't be an ADV, but otherwise it might be.

This was my experience as well...really good for a while, then burnt tasting. I think my 15ml bottle lasted almost 2 months because you can only drip or use it infrequently in a clearo.

Not sure about this particular one, but almost all of the coffee vapes I've had tend to gunk up the coils quickly. Sometimes leading to a, shall we say, less than fresh taste after a bit. I got to the point of mainly using them in cartos/cartotanks. As they gunked, the carto would clog letting me know it was getting close to tasting funky (usually 2-3 refills of the tank).

How does one go about this whole best of the box thing?

I dripped each of my juices last night... I am going to give them a proper go through before I rate them. But I am enjoying Hoops (not an ADV) a bit more than I thought I would. Irie... I think I will give it a fresh run on the dripper once it is cleaned out again. It seems to lose flavor pretty quickly, but the initial (i.e. fresh drip) is pretty good. Tastes just like advertised and was pleasantly surprised by it. But I did catch some flavor bleed (I think) from previous drips. So I will give it a fresh run. I will be loading some Tobacco Blend in my Heron in a bit... see what we see. Out of the dripper it tasted like the smell of fresh pack of cigarettes and that smell of a nice dark maduro cigar a bit on the finish. Very pleasant. Fresh clean tobacco with a slight hint of sweet.

#bestofthebox. You need to rate your juices. You should have a card in your box that has three circles numbered 1, 2, and 3. Take a pic of the bottles on the card in order of preference, then post on FB, Twitter, or Instagram with the tag #bestofthebox. Simple enough. This enters you in the constest, gives them feedback, and qualifies you to become or continue being a tester if they have openings. It's a win-win for everyone.

This one is literally by the 10th drag it tastes burnt. I loved it right out of the bottle, then kept changing out wicks and coils thinking they were gunking up. Possibly so, but way too fast for my liking. After the 1.5 month mark, it got good again and I could use it in my RBA without issue till it was gone.

Loaded up the Long and Winding Road....ok I'm a fan of NT's GCD, not as much as others who have gallons in stock, but it's one of my all time faves and sort of is my baseline to compare things to, and this one isn't cutting it for me-I'm getting all cream cheese and no cinnamon roll, I'm trying out different wattages on my mvp2, but think I'm gonna let it steep more to see if flavors come around more, and I will try out on CC(rayon) once it gets here, but this one today ....very, very meh :( my least liked out of Chris's creations so far yet oddly 100% in my flavor profile, so I won't rate it based on my first impressions today, guess I'll revisit in a week or 2 to give it a fair shot.

that rose vape sounds like something firephly would have enjoyed... I do know what candies you are talking about though....we used to get something similar in a cute little tin, but lemon, and yeah I think they did have raspberry ones too.

Yeah, baseballmom, Firephly would probablylove the Rose Candy. I remember the raspberry ones. They came in a tin and were small round and had bumps on the tops, lemon drops too. All those little candies that came in tins. LOL I wonder if they still have those candies, I'm getting all nostalgic.

I'm gonna have to seriously agree with you on the Long and Winding Road. I too, consider Nicoticket's GCD to be the "gold standard" of Cinnamon bun/danish vapes. It'a not an ADV for me, but for breakfast with my coffee, I love GCD or the less cinamonny Doodle. I was really excited when I smelled TLAWR, I could definitely smell cheese danish and couldn't wait to try it. I'm afraid it's not doing it for me either. The bakery part is not there, and it has an off-taste that I don't like. Maybe it's a steeper as so many bakery juices are. Gonna put this one on the shelf, maybe give it some cap-off time and see where it goes.

Oh and WHERE THE HELL IS COELLI????

:toast: to aging the long and winding road, if it doesn't come around to hold it's own, I'm mixing it with some GCD

Coelli, where ARE you? I used to always covet your boxes, pretty pleased lately with mine.

Robin, get things sorted out yet?

Hah! That is exactly the raspberry candy, baseballmom. This is the Rose Candy I was talking about:
Amazon.com: Abbaye de Flavigny Rose Pastilles 1.75oz tin: Health & Personal Care

As far as mixing TLAWR, some GCD, Doodle, or even a shot of my fix-all Frenilla. Oh, which btw, on the 8th Clark is dropping a new batch of Frenilla and a short run of Strawnilla, gotta try the Strawnilla, probably wont be as "milky" as Mothers Milk or the Unicorn Blood, Sweat, Tears... whatever the Cuttwood is called...but it could be a doozy!

Very good, full, rich flavor. Pecan and the strong but not overpowering sweetness (mixture of brown sugar and powdered sugar) give it almost a praline type of flavor. Underneath that is a dark, rich almost bourbon or dark rum essence. The pecan/praline is particulary evident on the exhale.

On an interesting note, the alcohol flavor (bourbon/dark rum) is much more noticeable when dripping it in a wide-open Trident than it is in an Igo-W with the stock airholes.

All in all, a very nice eliquid.

Thanks for asking baseball mom, in fact, it seems they may have. I just read an email from them (they emailed me before I could email them - bonus) and they have promised to more than make up for my disappointment. Keeping my fingers crossed, as I'd really like this service to be what I'm looking for. I gotta write them back and thank them for their offer.. just got in the door. Need to take my bra off and eat some cheese first. Priorities.

gah double post, sorry. But I'll take the opportunity to edit and add. I used to LOVE these as a kid. My dad sold them in his store.

This sounds amazing. I have an issue with nut flavored vapes, though. For some reason they taste bad to me. I would love to enjoy a vape like that but it's not in my stars. Enjoy it, it sounds so yummy.

You and me both. BSP is insanely good. I've got some backup but it wont last forever. I think it's gonna be hard to find something as good as BSP but if we're both looking out for something then maybe we'll get lucky. It has pride of place in my Kraken on my King mod and I vape a tiny bit daily to make it last. :D

Interestingly enough, I do NOT like the Draco Tobacco Blend in my Heron. It is running the exact same resistance as my dripper... However, the dripper is a dual coil. That is the only real difference in set up. Both running cotton wicks. However, the Draco is much much better in my dripper. The Irie nights is much better in the Heron... and the flavor doesn't dissipate like it does in the dripper. Next up in the Heron will be Hoops followed by Tanjello. Then I will be ready for my Best Of Box.

I am also already ready to see what I am getting this month. lol.
