I like the regular 555, and really like the exotic. Yep, it's strong, and won't be for everyone - but what flavor is? I think I'm not a steeper, I don't want anything to mellow out in any of the flavors I've tried so far lol to me they're good as they are. So unless steeping intensifies, I'm out.

OK just filled a REO bottle with exotic and loving it :banana:

Bluebacko is great... mostly Backo, which is what I was hoping... but definitely a blueberry kick on the exhale. Nice balance and great TH.

Before I talk about the Exotic 555, let me just say that I tried the old 555 and couldnt stand it. I gave it a fair chance (4-5 vaping sessions, 2 months of steeping) but the flavor was just not for me. Some people swear by that stuff... so these are just my opinions and tastes are relative.

The 555 exotic has a little bit of that same old 555 taste, although it is a completely different color. I do like this one better than the old 555 and has gotten better with time. The new 555 smells absolutely amazing... but, unfortunately, the taste and smell are two very different things. I'm really hoping that it starts to mellow out and taste more like it smells... but for now it's hanging out in the drawer waiting.

My new Darwin should be here tomorrow... maybe I'll have to try it at different wattages... like a boss... lol o_O

Hmm so steeping mellows some and strengthens others? I've never steeped anything on purpose, but did notice diminished flavor and performance with 2-3 month old juice from other vendors so I started keeping no more than 1-2 months supply at a time.

Guess I'll save a bit of each flavor to see how it changes and go from there. Regardless, bwb are the first tobaccos I don't have to add menthol drops to for decent TH. Reo+306+bwb=checkmate.

I'm on the Exotic today, the more I vape the more I like.

You just said confirmed everything I was hoping about Bluebacko. Mostly Backo + great TH = Win. It's in my next cart.

Glad to help : ) Don's blueberry is fantastic by itself... one of the only fruits I can vape all day. No surprise that the bluebacko is amazing, too...

The new 555 is a def strong one...as it steeps it may become a bit stronger...an adjustment to back down a bit on the amount of flavorings is no doubt in the works...

Stronger with time? Damn... thats pretty wild! I mean, it doesnt seem any stronger than any of the other flavors... as in flavor volume... I think it's more that the particular flavor itself is extremely bold...

Reo+306+bwb=checkmate.

Amen! Have you tried Grand + (2x) 3.2v AW LiFePO4 + Ikenvape HV 306 + BWB?

I have the batts and charger but have only tried it with SR atties so far. Definitely gonna try IKV's HR next time I shop there. Also have some 5v batts on the way for a 2Ω 306. Up to now I've been doing the 1.5 or 2 at 3.7 - but tbh when they dip below 4v I swap batts.

Then you'll love the lifepo batts with a 3.5ohm... it's about 10-15% hotter than 3.7v/1.5ohm... and lifepo's are naturally high-drain, so they stay consistent. I get a full day's vaping (moderate-heavy) on 1 set... ridiculous!

Never quite heard it described as that before Moon...ummm...okay then~
Might be a good thing, I don't know what to do with that other stuff now that I don't smoke tobacco ;)

Surprised that word slipped through the filter lol - I love the Exotic, but not cuz of that, I swear!

OT: Which tobacco is in the Cherry Tobacco?

Pretty sure it's a regular Backo base... thats what I taste, anyway.
