Five Pawns - a lot of people ordered recently . . . what are your thoughts?

[lasttango]

I need more information before I spend that kind of money... willing to spend it - but I haven't seen many reviews from vapers that have been around the block a few times... newbies can have sophisticated palates, but I need someone who vaped ripple effect to tell me that it's in that class of originality and uniqueness before I cough up $1 a ml...

I will probably get around to trying absolute pin at some point... but again...

what do you mean when you say it's so good and how is it different than other top juices...

also, most importantly, how does it perform?

As I said in my PM to you (thought I'd post it here in case others are in the same predicament) you can get some 20/80 or 100% VG MBV and cut the five pawns. I have been mixing Grandmaster and Gambit with MBV whipped cream and graham cracker - it enhances the flavor, does not dimish. You can also use some of the base flavors to supplement these flavors. Grandmaster seems to be mostly peanut butter, banana, caramel and cream. Gambit is more apple/caramel/vanilla. I would think any of the MBV flavor of the same ilk would blend great.

As a side effect, mixing it makes my 5P last longer too.

I'll be ordering some grandmaster soon my self. Haven't tried their juices but I'm just going to go right into it. My ONLY concern is the 50/50 mix. Has anyone with a PG allergy or sensitivity tried these juices and been ok?

I don't mind paying top dollar for wonderful juice. But if that wonderful juice causes my throat to swell to the point I can't vape it then it's money down the drain on my end.

a local B&M had some on hand to sample. I'm glad they did. I found most of the flavors pretty decent, but far to weak for me. That's not their fault, I have a hard time tasting most ejuice that isn't really intense.

for example, I order most of my MBV with 3-5 extra shots, and it's still relatively mild to me ><

I'm the same way sometimes. I need a hit your tongue flavor sometimes and a lot of juices don't cut it for me at times. Velvet Vapors has some really great natural flavoring juices that will hit your tongue and not in a bad way LOL

What makes it great to me is 1.) the complexity of flavor - such a unique blend of flavors into a cohesive juice. I have not seen these sorts of flavor blends in other juices 2.) Their juice is presteeped by a month or two when you get it. It's ready to vape out of the box, 3.) It is a clean taste (no aftertaste, no tongue coat) and leaves my coils pristine. 4) the flavors taste very natural (not artificial). I think this is the source of some complaints about 5P being mild or muted - there are no in-your-face artificial flavors to jump out at you.

All in all, the juice is hassle free, tastes clean, complex and rich, treats my coils good, and the packaging is functional, yet so attractive.

I PMd you Tango - I have some sample from the company for you to try. I'm really curious to know from a very experienced vaper what you think

 

[lasttango]

Thanks. Experienced in the sense that I have tried so many different juices and I have a large base for comparison... but... I don't have a super developed palate... I tend to like lighter complex flavors...
same with coffees... I like Kenyas and ethiopians more than sumatrans and columbians etc - medium roasts more than dark roasts...

As far as performance goes, the vapor production is great. I think you can see it pretty well in this video I did. I think what sets them apart from other vendors is their unique flavors. I think that is the thing with the super high end juice makers. All the great stuff has a high end base and then you just go with the maker who has the unique flavors that you enjoy the most. Personally I vape Pluid 70% of the time but I like to change it up a bit. Absolute Pin is unique for sure. I think Bowdens Mate is a fairly simple flavor but executed with perfection. Queenside is fantastic as well. I think the sampler is worth the money, then if you find something that really turns your gears you can go for the bigger bottle.
