First FSUSA Order..Input appreciated

[Stifle]

Hey guys and gals,

I am new to the world of vaping (this is actually my first post out of the newbie area ), and I have found quickly that what I really want from my vape is a good strong flavor. With my Riva on a couple of different juices I seem to get a decent TH and vapor production on everything so my focus really has come down to flavors.

I tend to gravitate towards the sweet/rich flavors in my juice as I was never one that particularly cared for the taste of tobacco anyway. Now that I can get my nicotine and smoking fix while vaping away on something healthier and tastier I am infinitely happy and haven't smoked an analog since the first time I loaded up my Riva.

That being said, my quest for the ultimate flavor has lead me to FSUSA..what it appears may be the pinnacle of flavor producing juices on the market right now. I hear great things about Dave and his juice and I'm anxious to try.

I'm planning on putting in an order on Friday and I wanted to ask a couple of questions and get any input on the order I think I'll be making. If I've read reviews I'll put a little one line synopsis of what I've read next to it... please let me know of anything else you see to be added.


***I know everything is subjective in juice preference, but please feel free to share your's with me anyway!!!*****


My Questions:

1. For +flavor...given that I want as much flavor as possible, should I add these to my mixes or does it have a tendency to turn flavors away from their original taste (i.e. - a fruit sweetness w/out added flavoring becomes a candy sweetness w/ added flavorings.) If it is worthwhile to add, +1 or +2?

2. PG/VG my first batch of e-juice was varying bottles of either 100% PG or 100% VG. I didn't truly notice a huge difference in either type in my Riva so I was planning on going 50/50 for all my juices in this order. Is that adviseable? Or should I be playing with those mixes to see what I prefer?

3. I want to get a few base liquids that I can add to and supplement with my more eclectic vapes. I was thinking...Vanilla Classic, Hypnotic Mist, CoffeeX and Banana (more on why banana later)

4. BANANA'S! I love bananas, but hate artificial banana (i.e. Banana Now n Laters for you mid 80's kids). If this is a strong banana flavor it will become my new favorite I'm sure..any specific trials with this? I couldn't find a review for some reason...



OK.. so here's the order..please comment where you can! (1x = 1 xtra flavor, 2x =...)

Hopscotch 1x - 5ml (Lots of people use as everyday vape, sweet but rich caramel.
Mango 2x -5ml
Banana 2x - 10ml
Lemon Drop 2x -5ml
Hypnotic Mist 1x - 10ml (Citrus mix, lots of people's favorite)
CoffeeX 1x - 10ml (Straight coffee, no cream or extras)
Pineapple 1x - 10ml
Blueberry Pancakes 1x - 5ml
Cocoa Raspberry 1x - 5ml
French Toast 1x - 5ml ( Just like the real thing, smells that way too )
Vanilla 2x - 10ml (No almond undertone like Tahiti, smooth, not too sweet vanilla)

Thanks for all of the input in advance! You guys are great!

Hopscotch 1x - 5ml
Mango 2x -5ml
Banana 2x - 10ml
Lemon Drop 2x -5ml
Hypnotic Mist 1x - 10ml
CoffeeX 1x - 10ml
Pineapple 1x - 10ml
Blueberry Pancakes 1x - 5ml
Cocoa Raspberry 1x - 5ml
French Toast 1x - 5ml
Vanilla 2x - 10ml

These all look like great choices. All of the specialties come in a 50/50 blend and I have found that is what I like to vape. Great TH and Vapor. They are announcing a sale in the morning so hopefully you will be able to take advantage of that. Their Banana is real and not artificial tasting. I like 1 x flavor but have found that 2 x is too much for me. There are many here that like the 2 x flavor so that is just personal preference.

PS- Do yourself a favor and get more then 5 ml of that Hopscotch. That will be just enough to make you mad that you did not get more.

How funny salem, I was just about to say that about hopscoth and french toast....very yummy, get bigger sizes. My 5ml disappeared really fast. But I like the 2x flavor right now, works for me thru this phase I'm going thru. I haven't gotten to the mango yet and some other flavors you listed, so I can't say. But to tell the truth, haven't had one juice yet that I didn't like. The samples get ya...you are forwarned...lol

 

[Stifle]

Gotcha,

on 2x/1x stuff I figured I'd try some with a heavy flavor and some with less and just see where they take me.

Very excited to hear about the sale tomorrow..hope to get in on it for sure!

Thanks for the info folks!

 

[salemgold]

Sure. Make sure that you come back and tell us what you think when you get it.

 

[salemgold]

They are also releasing a bunch of new flavors with the sale. Your list may change. lol

Stifle,
First, the CoffeeX is one of my all-time fav.s, and I get it in 1X flavor. To me, it is a rich, strong flavor, and I love coffee (to drink and vape). The Hypnotic Mist I have is in 2X flavor and it is very good at that. I think it is a more mellow flavor in its original form, I need strong flavors to be able to taste them - so that's why I ordered it at 2X flavor. I also have the hopscotch in 1X strength, and it is yummy! I don't lean toward the fruity flavors, so can't give an opinion on several on your list. The only one on your list that I have, that I've not found to have much flavor, is the Vanilla. And like I say, I need strong flavors to be able to taste them. I just don't get much flavor from the Vanilla. It looks like you have picked out some great ones to try, and please let us know what you think when you get them!

That sounds great! It appears we are similar in our flavor tastes..I know some of this is due to the work that analogs did on my taste buds but at the moment I can't taste too much of anything apart from the first pull on a drip.

I was hoping vanilla would be a hit, but if it is a mellow flavor maybe I'll try a 5ml and go from there!

Only real sticking point was witch coffee to get, CoffeeX, Coffee Espresso or Cappuccino. Not sure which would fit..but I guess we'll see!


I'll be sure to review them when I get them in to share with others!

 

[salemgold]

Stifle, you may want to try at least a small bottle of Tiramisu. It is a strong, rich, sweet coffee flavor that has plenty of flavor.

Sounds right up my alley! Added to my order

 

[tgcrna]

Stifle, you better watch out for Salemgold . . . she has got me hooked on more flavors than I care to admit ;-}

Edit: Oh, and she's right. I've been vaping some tiramisu tonight, and it is delicious!

 

[TxMagic]

Might consider trying the Banana Moon Pie. It's tasty! Possibly a tad lighter than a Now 'n Later with a touch of graham cracker at the back of the tongue touch. If it's not quite the banana you seek, many of the others in your list - coffeeX, cocoa raspberry - would be good on top of it . . . even the tiramisu. Suggest extra flavor on everything - especially if you're just kickin the cigs. You'll probably lose your taste buds about the time your juice is ready to vape! Enjoy!

 

[Misha707]

Your list looks great to me! You might consider the chocolate banana as well, since you like banana. Tastes real, and very yummy. It's one I intend to keep buying really, really big bottles of! Cappuccino Smooth is the best coffee flavor, IMHO.

 

[salemgold]

stifle, in other words just order 1 of each. lol

 

[vaporgalinfla]

Stifle - Your list looks good. I've not tried many of the plain fruit flavors though. I agree with Salem - you might want to order than 5 ml. of hopscotch. If you like chocolate/mint, order Thin Mint Cookie. It's a very good strong flavor. You might also want to try orange creamsicle and fuzzy navel.

 

[Stifle]

So..if I'm reading this all correctly..I should just start at "A" and order them all...then vape away until I'm foaming at the mouth from sheer vapor euphoria.

Ok.. now I'm ready to order

Thanks for all the input guys, although it seems that everyone has their favorite and I have a lot to try in the coming months. At the very least I am pretty confident I have found the place I want to go to to get some killer flavors.

UPDATE**
In regards to the 1x/2x flavor question... I decided to get some 40/60 VG unflavored juice to have one the side to mellow out any flavors that are too strong. That way, if it has too much I know I can throttle it down a bit with the blank juice and still enjoy my yummy flavors. That being said, we are going for 2x across the board.

I've heard a lot about Dave's expertise and I'm really excited to try it.

Thanks to everyone for the input, I'll post the reviews of each of them when I get everything in...

 

[div]

If someone would have told me to start with 'A' and go from there, it would have saved me time for sure, much less trying to decide what to try next, lol. There's alot of sales going on, and you could pick up your next batch to try...have your wish list ready.
I feel like the old Mervyns commercial...open,open, open.

From what I've read the 1x/2x flavoring is all personal preference. But, my newbie order had juices from LF and while occasionally I could get hints of the strong flavors, for the most part I had no taste at all to speak of. That being said, in my next order I am going with lots of 50/50 12-18mg all with 2x flavoring along with a 30ml 50/50 18mg unflavored base juice to cut it down if need be.

For coupon code...apparently "freedomsmokeusa" in the coupon code box will give you 10% off of any order. But according to some reputable sources (as I understand it) there should be a sale in the next day or two that I'm assuming will beat the 10% off. So watch this forum!

 

[div]

Their regular coupon code is on their website, but waiting for the posting of the sale and what coupon to use with the new 35 flavors coming...1x or 2x flavor is going to be hit or miss with everyone. I am liking the strong flavors right now 2x (going thru funky phase) and have had regular flavor as well, nothing wrong with either.
