I received 4 samples of High Octane 10 mg liquid. OMG!!! This has to be the FIRST time since vaping for the past 6 months that vaping satisfies me the way I would expect - like smoking had done: taste, throat hit, vapor, AND delivery of nicotine so I can vape (to use analog language - a cigarettes worth), be satisfied, and put it down. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE vaping. I have, since quitting cigarettes, become a chain vaper. Constant, constant, constant. I have even been able to satisfy myself somewhat with taste and flavor, but wondered if my chain vaping was a sign of not satisfying the nic delivery. With high octane, I believe that this is now settled. I vape to satisfaction, put it down, and can do other things without a device in my hands for a while. Now I have the BEST of what I needed from smoking without smoking. This is what vaping was supposed to be for me in the first place. Thanks, thanks, thanks, DREW!!! My hats off to you (only my hat, nothing more...I'm a good girl - LOL). On to the review:
All high octane samples Deliver the Nic, throat hit, and VAPOR! I was taken by surprise when it hit within the first sampling. I wasn't use to feeling the actual nicotine buzz. Wow. I had to put it down and wait to vape more. That never happened before I can tell you. When I used to vape a higher nic, I didn't use to notice that I over-vaped or needed a drop in nic until I felt subtle reactions at the end of the day or something. Never felt the buzz and satisfaction within the vaping session. Great!
Plain Tobacco: nothing plain about it. This is a great, premium quality tobacco flavor (Marlboro-like). Richness is there, etc. Don't be fooled by the name "plain". It doesn't taste plain or light. It's full and rich. Aroma is also true tobacco as it exhales. I believe it's called plain because you get just that - tobacco. This is my personal favorite of the tobacco flavors! I was surprised to get more throat hit from this 10 mg than the 12mg and sometimes 18mg of other liquids. Throat hit is definitely there. Great, great amount of vapor. I love it. I was vaping this while my husband was on the porch smoking. His smoke did not compare to my vapor at all. He says he went back to smoking (from vaping) because he missed smoking. Well, I had him try this and he said it tasted better than his cigarette. And it tasted like a really good tobacco. Drew, you captured a great tobacco flavor here! It's not an imitation or a "close to" tobacco, but you captured tobacco to a tee!
Signature Tobacco: Tobacco with sweetness added to it. this is slightly more complex and sweeter. It is also somehow slightly drier in my opinion. It has good flavor, and again throat hit is definitely there and tons of vapor. I prefer the plain tobacco over this only for the reason that I prefer just tobacco without the sweet added. I'm sure that if someone likes the sweeter tobaccos, they will fall in love with this and be just as excited with it as i am about the Plain Tobacco. It delivers all with tons of vapor. It is also a true tobacco taste - just with sweetness added. And yes, as said by others, it is close to Drewbacco (Drewbacco 3 would be fitting).
Are you excited yet!
Cigarillo: This sample was completely clear. Plain tobacco is light and see-thru with a slight, slight color to it. Signature and CigarBacco also have a slight, slight color. Cigarillo is about a notch up in tobacco taste bordering on a cigar/tobacco. This one also has a little something added that is hard to place. A little complex, yet light and refreshing. It's hard to describe the taste that is complimenting the tobacco but it may be a light nutty or subtle vanilla-ish. (This one reminds me of Halo's Freedom without the smokiness or what some have described as the cedar-i-ness. I think Halo Freedom has a slight vanilla undertone upon exhale). Cigarillo, although it is a cigaretto type flavor, has a lightness to it. This is refreshing and good. Remember, all octane liquids have throat hit and tons of vapor. This one's no exception. After several days of sampling, loving this one more and more. Vaping side-by-side with Halo Freedom and quite close. Very close in fact Anyone who likes Halo Freedom will like this one.
CigarBacco: Second favorite here (yes, I can have 2 favorites). It wasn't until vaping that I realized I also love the flavor of cigar (weird being a girl), but I do love it. The name says it all here: perfect dead-on taste of cigar blended with tobacco. There really isn't a complexity here because it's not mixed with anything so no undertones or added sweetness. But great premium tobacco/cigar flavor. Plain does not mean not rich. this is rich tobacco! Dead-on and perfection. I love both Plain Tobacco and CigarBacco for this reason. I don't need added flavors if the true flavor is here and it is. Again throat hit is present and tons of vapor.
I can't get over the fact that the nic delivery is present upon vaping and satisfies so well. Try these. You'll love them and see for yourself. Kudos, Drew! Bravo, and thank you. I guess you're now my supplier because I get my fix at nhaler.
