Hello,

I started vaping about a month ago with a Joye Ego, and fell in love with it. My first juices were from Good Prophets (meh) iVape (awesome!) and High Brow Vapors (drool). High Brow is what really sold me, as their juices were .......ed excellent. I just want to post a review of them...I would have done this in the ejuice forum, but ya know, I'm a newbie and all that. If this is inappropriate for this forum, please delete it/let me know. I'm just a vapor, not a vendor, and I really love their juice.

Chai Tea (6mg nicotine, 80% PG 20% VG): 5/5 It’s very smooth, like milk, with a nice bite of spice. I really, really dig this vape. It tastes a lot like a chai tea latte from Starbucks, so if you’re into that, grab this. Delicious, lots of vapor, and smooth. The description says that it’s rough on the first hit, but I have to disagree. It’s smooth all the way, and it doesn’t seem to lose flavor after multiple vapes—I’m not sure if anyone else experiences this, but after a few hours of vaping, my tastebuds get all bungled up and I can’t discriminate flavors as well as I had during the initial session start. This is an all-day vape for me. I didn’t steep this at all. Medium vapor.
Espresso (18mg nicotine, 80%PG 20%VG): 4/5 I chose a higher concentration of nicotine for this one because I figured that would make sense for an espresso flavor. This one, well, tastes like espresso. It has a burnt coffee taste going in and comes out smooth with a bit of dryness on the tongue. Tastes like espresso. I would recommend flavoring this with raspberry or vanilla or something fruity before checking out. Alone, it’s a great vape and works with chocolate or even coffee, but something I wouldn’t use all day. Decent vapor.
Highbrow RY4 (12mg nicotine, 80%PG 20%VG): 4.5/5 This is a tobacco blend; It’s pretty smooth, with a velvety exhale, and a touch of spicy sweet on the finish. The nice thing about this juice is that it isn’t harsh. I would compare it to something between a cigarillo and a cigarette. It leaves a clean mouth feeling, too, which is nice (compared to some of the danker tobacco juices you’ll find). Very mellow. Perhaps just a hint of maple too. I used to be a Camel smoker, so perhaps that’s why I like this one. My opinion hasn’t really changed on this, and it’s been steeping for about a week, so I guess it’s good from the get-go. Pretty good vapor.

Dark Chocolate Mint (18mg, 80%PG 20% VG): 5/5 It tastes like dark chocolate mint. And it’s really good. There’s more of a dark chocolate taste and just a hint of mint, so sometimes I’ll drop a bit of some menthol-based juice on it, but really, this is a great flavor. You may want to ask them to add a little more mint if you really like minty chocolate, but you won’t be disappointed if you use don’t customize it, and this juice leaves a nice chocolaty aftertaste. Personally, I like it without the extra menthol. It’s like eating a cool chocolate mint cake—not an Andes, but more of a dark chocolate with a cool mint touch. The more I smoke it, the more I like it. Probably my next 30Ml investment. Medium vapor, but the pleasure here is in the taste.

Vanilla Bourbon Bean: (6mg nicotine, 80%PG 20%VG): 1.5/5: There’s hardly any taste to this. I don’t know why!. It’s a very smooth vape, but there’s really no taste. I’m baffled by it, given all the incredible flavors I’ve had from Highbrow. My instincts say it’s a bad batch, but I don’t know. It’s been a month since it’s born on date, I’ve shook it and tried it at different times, cleaned the atomizer, had it in comparison to other vapes and without any vapes to compare it to, and still nothing. I’m really surprised by this one. Medium vapor.

French Pipe: (12mg nicotine, 80% PG 20%VG): 4.5/5 I love this. It’s got a rich tobacco base with a really smooth cherry undertone. It smells like pipe tobacco and doesn’t have the throat bite. It leaves smooth, too, so you won’t get that tobacco aftertaste. It leaves a more dry moutfeel than sweet. Good vapor.

Cigar: (18mg nicotine 80% 20%VG): 3.5/5 This tastes like a cigar, and smells like a cigar; however, I must admit, I’m not much of a cigar smoker, so I might be the wrong person to review this…but regardless, I did buy it. It’s rough and manly with a touch of honey sweetness. Like honey on chest hair. I am drinking now. Not bad at all. The more I ‘smoke’ it, the more I like it. Good vapor.

Highbrow Exotic Blend with custom vanilla flavoring (18mg nicotine, 80%PG 20%VG): 5/5 This is my personal favorite. It’s really smooth, the vanilla compliments whatever the hell is going on with the tobacco. It’s ....ing delicious. I can’t comment on what the exotic blend is like alone, but I saw on E-cig forum someone recommending a vanilla hint to this flavor, and it compliments it so well. It’s great, highly recommend. I bought a 30 ML bottle after quickly running through the 15Ml. Medium vapor.

Also, they had great customer service when I drunkenly screwed up an order at night. And this is how it comes shipped--classy stuff: http://i.imgur.com/SXrIC.jpg

Please do. I really can't get any flavor out of it, and I don't know why.


OK, got the HBV Vanilla bourbon bean in. Vaped about 1ml of it over the course of the day. I would have to agree, the vanilla is very subtle. I was expecting more...I mean it was ok. I probably won't buy it again though. The only thing that did happen, and another reason I probably won't keep using it, was that it totally killed a cartomizer. I filled it once, yesterday, topped it off this morning and once more this afternoon. By this evening the carto was tough to draw, the taste started change, etc.

I should probably stop trying to find a perfect vanilla.
