After being unable to taste CLS from day 1 (originally got 15 ml bottle, ended up with 50ml bottle, neither had flavor that I could discern), just paste 2 month mark I pulled it out again and BAM THERE IT IS. Was beginning to wonder if all things sweet/creamy were just going to elude me completely. Guess with this I just have to be patient...

Have it in my Reo LP Mini 2.1 with RM2 at 1.55.

Truth be told, I don't get much from CLS fresh, either - that's why we pre-steep it... nothing but better with time and patience!!

I have the exact same problem : I don't get anything from CLS. And if I mix it, it just mutes the other juice(s). So this post gave me hope (I like CB a lot, and I love the custard in Wakonda so I know I would love CLS if I could taste anything), so I went ahead and filled up a tank with some CLS with a BOD of June 23rd.

Aaaaah, yes. Guys, it's coming along, it is. Now I can taste it. It's still muted, but there's something very good there. It's a freaking tease. Can't put it down because each puff has me hope the next one will be more potent.

So back to the steeping closet it went, and will be retested in a few weeks, and I did buy a new 50ml bottle. Will open it for Christmas :evil:

Clark, is it the same batch as the one from June ?

I would need order #'s so I can compare batch/lot numbers, but it 's doubtful. Our batches of CLS have been smaller and more frequent lately.

I too notice how decadent it is becoming. I dripped some recently and was like--wow, that's CUSTARD! To be honest I think I prefer it to Frenilla *hides from the incoming assault of rotten tomatoes*

There's LOTS of people who will agree CLS > Frenilla. CLS is our best seller for a very good reason - it *does* take some time to really get WOW though - it's custard, they're all like that.

Don't lie to peoples faces kent, it does not take time at all. The first time I had it, it blew me away. I have an average "hit" rate of 10% (meaning i only like about 10% of juices I BUY). This is the first bottle i've ever bought AGAIN. Maybe I should place a third order just to let it steep........so I can experience this so called "wow" :vapor:

I'm just shooting straight to my personal experience - it's a sleeper for me, I like it at about 8 weeks or so. Sure it's good sooner, but I don't get...

I've had a CLS revival in my rotation. The bottles had taken a back seat as I tried to rotate through the short runs and others (yes, I have too many blooming flavors). Then, I coiled up one of the Aquas with dual 2mm 11 turn 29g coils, wicked with Rayon and have vaped a tank of it nearly every day since, never went through a 50ml bottle of anything that quickly. It is delicious, better than ever in that setup, and today, I prefer it over Frenilla.

However, I've just about solved the wicking difficulties in the Russian Frenilla resides in, so . . .
