Has anyone here tried the tobacco Express Captain? If so, is it good? what does it taste like? hehe.

Concentrate came a day early. Yesterday it was in and I did a quick mix last night, NOT doing the microwave instant steep deal. I had pre-mixed base and only a little time, so I went with that for now just to get an idea.

Don't have a lot of time now either, and I'm positive this taste will change a good bit, but as it stands, I'm getting basically a toned down version of VZ B&M for the underlying taste. (B&M comes across to me as primarily cream & cocoa with very little tobacco flavor). This seems to have more obvious tobacco undertones with a little sweet vanilla spice or something too in the background that I'm hoping comes out more as it goes. I only mixed 5mls w/6 drops - all VG (the B&M mixes I'd done were 40/60 PG/VG I believe - def. not all VG). I'll try to do another - with microwaving - tonight. I may also mix a B&M for more comparing/contrasting also in all VG.

Catch y'all later!

You got it bov! Now that you mention it I've been to the site more than once to check out a flavor mentioned here. But who can order just one right? So I look around at the others and without descriptions I end up not buying anything. (Of course I didn't really NEED anything :))

I hope they read this thread.

True on the email, but it would make it easier and quicker for customers if they put a short descrip :)

Oh so agree!! If enough people pestered them with the request, it might give them a push to list the ingredients.

I really wish they would put some better descriptions on the flavors on ecx. Some of them give you very little to no info on what to expect.

I wish someone would write to them and send them a link to this thread. I wrote them a while back asking them to clarify the mystery names under Fruit Express that are obviously not fruits that I thought were Chinese tobaccos but they had no description at all. When I wrote to them they said their source assured them they were not tobaccos. I posted here to see if anyone remembered the thread were the names were originally posted and sure enough, they were Chinese cigarettes. Well, they don't qualify as tobacco I guess? So they are fruit instead? Not too clear on that rationale! LOL! Anyway, I'm with you...if it weren't for the recommendations from here I never would have tried them. I don't like advertising hype either, but they have to realize since we cannot sample their wares they really have to do a little better in the description area to convince us we should purchase it and why. Even if it's a common flavor, tell us what makes theirs better! I go to some websites and know their staff vapes their wares and knows the product well. Here I get the feeling they are winging it on the say so of their supplier and don't have a clue themselves. That may not be true, but unfortunately that is how it comes across. Even if it were the case, offer a customer or a few, some freebies to help out with the descriptions, but do something! Doing nothing says you don't care, and that isn't good for business. I really hope they do read this sector of this thread, they have a good product but need to inject a little enthusiasm into their website.
We can help out too to a degree by posting our review and opinions of the flavors we tried, but because tastes are so different first and foremost I like to read a good description of what I am considering buying, and then what people think of it. Basically, short of being able to test it myself, I want all the info I can get first, before making a purchase. I don't want to be disappointed after spending money I rarely get!

Well finally found the base I been chasing for a RY4 that a number of other vendors use. I about crapped myself when I first vaped it and felt like Dr Frankenstein when he got the monster to life!

Only problem is I want to see if the flavor profile will change in the next couple of weeks to confirm my theory here. So I need to stop dripping this stuff now lol.
