Not a fan of Port LB. Might just be me, or because I haven't let it steep at all, but it has no flavor to it.

If I recall, I had the same first impression right out of the box. After a week, it was an ADV. After 2-3, it was VERY berry-ish so I didn't vape as much but it was still very good (I'm not a huge fruit-dominant vaper).
So far, my favorite out of my box this month is Beverly Hills Vapor 90210. Blueberry crisp over cake topped with whipped cream. Really really good.
Unfortunately I was not a fan of the Port LB either. I got it in I believe in my very first box 5 month ago and still have 12 mls left. I haven't tried it lately maybe I should revisit it. Hopefully it gets better if I revisit it and it gets better I will let you know.
I wasn't too into Port LB when I first tried it, but I didn't hate it. Decided to "use it up" and got pretty into it after vaping on it a bit. Probably not a re-order for me, but I ended up liking more than I thought on first impression. I think I'm possibly just not to into "berry" vapes aside from Stawberry, which I love.
Thanks for giving an update. I was a menthol smoker but I'm not that into mint flavored menthols. My favorite menthol is Quack juice Factory;s Frozen Pond which is like a bakery flavor with menthol, sounds kinda gross but it's really delicious and gets the menthol just right. I am always on the lookout for a good menthol. I ordered some of the Ruby this morning from eJuices.com I The Top eJuices plus Free Shipping. If you guys don't know about them, they are great. Top juices, free shipping and frequent coupon codes. There is one atm for 25% off code is AUGUST. I think it ends today though. Anyhow, this is why it's so great when we all post and share our thoughts.
Final rating this month was easy: Frisco Vapor Ashbury, CRFT Strawberry Blonde, and Black Label Melo Vibes (which I will probably dump or trade).
I use Davide Minis. The new models take both Protank Mini 2 style coils and Aspire dual coils. I have come to the conclusion I don't like the Aspire heads - they make the vapor too hot, and it affects the flavor. So I switched the Strawberry Blonde to the single-coil, and that helped. But it still doesn't taste quite right on the inhale. It has a great aftertaste, but I'd rather have a great inhale.
Frisco Ashbury is fantastic~!

Going to 2 bottles for a bit, got way too much juice in cupboard and since starting some diy...only CV flavors that didn't "wow" me enough to even finish was VV Bonnie and Clyde, and the HV CRA, I'm starting to think I'm actually not that picky after all, only got 2 flavor families in my profile now, and really enjoy Meriweather as my curator, been having worse luck on my own buying bad juices from online reviews, just need to clear out my stock a bit....ny cheesecake is ok, not as good as Belgian breakfast, could probably be a bit bolder/stronger for my tastes, but not shabby....it will be nice to compare a diy recipe to it when I mix one up. Haven't tried Piggies or Beez Kneez yet
Belgian Breakfast was by far my favorite out of my box... but now I'm excited for my 2nd box but have a month to wait
Snarfies, should have put this in my last post, I prefer single coils too, I feel flavor is better and don't burn through as quickly either, and prefer tanks to drippers....hence my love of the kfl+ clones
My first box has arrived! I was kind of shocked, because I never even got a notice it was shipped. That said, it was a very pleasant surprise when I got back to my desk and found it sitting in front of my keyboard. On to the contents!
Beard Vape Co. - No. 88 - Chocolate menthol. Apparently, a Thin Mint vape. I adore thin mints, so if this is on target, it could be epic.
The Standard - Slow Mo - Citrus cream - I'm a little leery of this one since I'm not a huge creamsicle fan, but I'm going to give it a fair shake.
DNA - Dragonthol - Menthol dragon fruit - I've been liking fruits and menthol separately, so this could work out very well.
Since I'm working, I'm not going to be refilling my tanks on hand, but I will start in on them tomorrow. Will keep you all informed!

My box arrived today! I haven't tried anything yet, but I've smelled and there could be a couple winners here.
Got..
Test Lab 9 Ritual
Lost Art Liquids The Beez Kneeze (lol!)

All in all, these flavors are very up my alley profile-wise. So I am pleased!

I was pleasantly surprised today to find my replacement juice in the mailbox today. Roxy is amazing!! She sent me a fresh box, and wrote me a nice note (including her pateneted Catmomma address/artwork). There were fresh M&Ms, and a card for the replacement. She thought of EVERYTHING!! Thank you Roxy! Since I have no self-discipline, I ran to rewick a couple of TOBH attys with my beauty supply rayon that baseballmom turned me on to. (Works great btw, love it) I'm about to get wordy but I got things to say, LOL. I consider myself a coffee aficionado. I like a good medium to dark roast from Central America, preferably Costa Rica or Nicaragua, and yes, I can tell the difference. When I first started vaping I was thrilled to see coffee flavored vapes, yummy!! That is until I started trying said vapes, um, no, not yummy. They just couldn't get it right. Some were near misses, some were so far out of the ballpark...one of the worst vapes EVER for me was a purported coffee vape from a good and well respected juice company that was so chemical tasting I don't know how anyone tastes anything that resembles coffee. Recently, Clark at NT came up with a tobacco, caramel, coffee vape which is darned good, the coffee is in the background but it's smooth and balanced and goes great with my morning coffee. When I read Chris' description of his coffee juice I knew I had to try it. When I called about my broken bottle, I broke down and asked Roxy if I could please have some. This was hard to do, I'm usually a oh well, I get what I get kind of person, but how could I not try this vape??? I am so very glad I did. This is by far, without any question the most incredible accurate and delicious coffee vape ever!! I know all you CV people read our posts. Someone go tell Chris what I wrote. I am vaping this in a TOBH RDA with a 1.0 ohm mocrocoil at 9 watts on a DNA 30 clone. The flavor is rich, full bodied roasty coffee. No bitterness, just a hint of sweetness, but nothing absolutely nothing to interfere with the full, deep, rich coffee. This is so good, I want to drink coffee that tastes like this. Bravo, Chris, this is a masterpiece of a juice. I wouldn't change a thing. I feel privileged to have tried it. Thank you so much, Roxy, for sending me some. You guys are the best!!!! I may never get around to some of my other juices after this, LOL
I'm not - maybe that's why I barely taste anything in mine...it's a better coffee than most I've had, it's just barely there for me.
So I get the notion that the coffee juice more than made up for the leaking PUDC? I love reading your reviews...glad you got to try it and enjoyed it so much....awaiting your opinion on Hollyweird when you get around to it
Robin-yay!!!! Glad to hear about your box this month fitting your flavor profile, that's great news!

I'm so sorry to hear this. There is probably a difference. What are you using? Maybe try upping your wattage? I get tons of flavor and vapor.
Yes!! I'm So Tired more than made up for the broken UPDC. Re: Hollyweird. I did try some before I hit the coffee vape. It is quite the tasty vape. I'm not sure that I would call it a traditional custard. That being said, I has the spot on flavor of warm custard. The amaretto part doesn't really taste like amaretto to me but it is a nice addition to the custard. I wouldn't even know how to describe the flavor, it just tastes good.The custard part is very accurate. I can taste the milk in it. It's like real custard, not custard flavor. It is far less sweet than CLS. More delicate. I think to me they are apples and oranges. I don't know that I would prefer one over the other as my definitve custard vape. It's really delicious in its own way. Have you tried Dillinger by Villain Vapors? I have heard it said that it is the best Vanilla Custard out there... I would need to try that to compare to CLS.
Haven't tried Dillinger yet, maybe just maybe once get juice levels down...think that was one of Cranky's favorites....haven't seen her around ECF either lately. After Bonnie and Clyde, I wasn' t really eager to try another VV juice, but I may eventually, just didn't impress me enough to pursue their other flavors. Bionic' s Custard Assault was pretty good and I have a DIY recipe aging...problem is I love custard vapes, but they wipe out my tastebuds so quickly. Still want to try Quack' s too, someday I suppose.
I have Quack's, it's really good too. My problem(??) with Quack's is that I ordered all three juices and ended up loving the Frozen Pond so much that I kind of ignored the Goose Juice and the Gizzard Juice. Have to revisit the Goose Juice. Frozen Pond will always be in my rotation. They have a new one now called Duck's Breath, might have to try it too. Quack's makes some really good juices.
Just discovered that Nectar is a dripper only flavor. Became muted to the point of flavorless in my PT2.
Funny you should mention that.
I was really digging the Ballistic Vape Butter Caramel, so I filled up an iClear 30S tank with it and was completely underwhelmed.
In the dripper, it has an incredible creamy caramel taste on the inhale, and the exhale is a spot-on butterscotch hard candy. In the tank it still has a caramel taste, but the butterscotch hardly comes through at all.
