I didn't see the 5 pack of 30mls. Link? If they're not sold out, that's the way to go. Still, I'm happy that I ordered from WV. Their 240ish miles from me so I get it much more quickly.

buy 5- 30 ml. bottles of any flavor (you can customize, heck, 2 Gambit, 2 Grandmasters, and 1 Bowden's for example) for 27.50 ea.=137.50 and no shipping. There is no savings when you buy the whole set from Wild Valley - $137.50 divided by 5 is 27.50. If you buy the set of 5, you better like all 5 flavors and want to pay for shipping.
What am I missing here - fivepawns.com is a better deal, no??

240 miles or not, free priority shipping would get it there soon as well.
I mean, hey, it's all about the love right?

Well, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things where the order was placed--as long as it was placed and you get the dern juice!
Mscomp, you've got to know something about Shatner--he doesn't play around too much with pulling the trigger! LOL. When he aims, he fires. 5 juices available? Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

No, no, I know, I've been been ogling the bottles and expressing my skepticism in here for months. Such beautiful packaging. Rodney seems a classy guy from the video.
I was counting on Mann, who spends his entire disposable income on juice, to confirm that I'd not feel compelled to blow what is it?- $30 per?- on some reckless new fling just when I'm settling into post-coital bliss with Ahlusion. Dammit.
I was wondering about the source of the purportedly natural extracts.
I have TEA to buy, I'm TRYING to be on a TEA kick. Sigh.

I prefer to double-tap, heh heh
Have you have Queenside? I got a sample pack coming and if it is as good as Gambit, I will pull the trigger on that one as well.
I just want to say that for anyone reading this, I, once again, DO NOT BELIEVE that Five Pawns will register to everyone as being good as they are to me. And, I have only vaped Gambit (though I have a sample of Absolute Pin).

chicken.
chicken.
Here's my take on all (keep in mind, I am not good at detecting specific flavors sometimes):
- Queenside - orangy - in a natural sense - not Tang. I do sense the vanilla. I am not a fan of chocolate and orange, so I thought I wouldn't like this combo, but I like it. It's not like a dreamsicle (sort of pedestrian at this point.) A sophisticated flavor.
- Absolute Pin - more "harsh" (if that's the right word) - has more spice, subtle licorice (the absinthe thing) and def. some Irish Cream there. I'm not catching the cinnamon as much. There is some cream to it. I've ordered some MBV Irish Cream to cut it.
- Grandmaster - delicious balance of peanut butter and banana, but subtle, so I cut it with MBV Whipped Cream and Graham Cracker, YMMV.
- Gambit - Apple-tang but with a cookie-taste. I cut this the same as Grandmaster (MBV), but I have some Caramel Candy to try cutting it with.
- Bowden's Mate- lots of mint with a chocolate exhale - kind of powdery (like cocoa.)
I'm not noticing a lot of th on these, BUT, I don't like th, so I don't care. That and I am at 12 mg. of nic, so that might affect it. All the tastes are smooth, clean-burning and subtle and it depends on your delivery system, too. But personally, I don't want a "pow" in your face juice. I use Fuzion for those times when I need a change.
EDIT: Vapor is great - it's a 50/50 blend on these juices.
Sorry to add to your review, Mr. Mann. I don't think I am ready for primetime reviews, myself

Because THEN we have to try Jamaison's, and Ben Johnson, and Midas, and Juice by Numbers, and all, and prices are creeping up out there...
Do I listen to the tea forum or the ecig forum? Aaagggh.
I need to retire to a cave in Nepal and chant the heart sutra about 20 million times.

I haven't written a review, though Gambit was good enough for one. I will. You do just fine. Just fine!
That was a perfectly respectable and sober review MsComp. And you've piqued my curiosity - that orange chocolate flavor that you describe as sophisticated and not like a creamsicle orange or Tang (and yet not like orange juice either, right?) - do you get a sort of almost spicy sort of dried-orange flavor?
That would indicate natural extraction (which simply means that the initial oil was actually extracted from the ingredient - with orange, it's orange rind.) You can't get a candy-orange flavor from an orange rind - that's always artificial flavoring.
If you've ever tried Ahlusion's Orange Nocturne you get that very directly. It's disconcerting with the cocoa-like chocolate, and yeah, sophisticated. Which means I like it but not all day, and my little grandaughter, who is not allowed to vape, would say 'EW' if she were.

Def. dried orange spice flavor w/creamy vanilla - you hit it! I am a big fan of fresh orange zest and this is not it. Not OJ either. I do not really like candy flavored fruit stuff, so this works better for me.
I haven't tried that one, but the flavors of Gambit are very much natural, very much!
As far as "Jamaison's, and Ben Johnson, and Midas, and Juice by Numbers," as far as I know, they have not said they are using natural flavors. As a matter of fact, they have't said much of anything. I talked with RPad and TCP about 5P and I could just tell in their voices that this was super solid juice. See, it's not just that it is good, it is an incredibly refined mix of tasty natural ingredients that, together, is cunningly complex. I am serious, I have not had any juice do that type of dance save for, well, you know who's liquids. Speaking of W, he has a new juice called Lemon Cream that is so good it's stupid. Oh yeah, it dances quite well. It's not available yet, but if you threw it up on 5P's website, I bet people would pay $27.50 for it and say it was well worth the money.

Oh, it is? Oh well, that juice is freakin' OUTSTANDING! LOL. And now back to our regulaly shceduled Five Pawns discussion.
p.s. Jerms, if you can get a bottle of LC, get it quickly!

I want to clarify that Queenside has no chocolate. I was just comparing how I normally feel about combining orange with bakery-type ingredients. This is def. an orange spice with vanilla cream. No dreamsicle though.
That sums up the whole operation and I'm so glad to see that someone else "gets" it. This is an acquired taste, IMO. As you said, Mr. Mann, not everybody will appreciate the complexity and subtlety. And some will think we're just downright snobs for paying what we pay. They just don't GET it, lol. That's ok, more for us
On my end, I just don't "get" why people want to vape gummy worms. But that's ok, there are so many juice companies, we can all get along.And I am happy-dancing to say that I have snagged some real Boba's; another sensation I just didn't "get" (but I will, haha!), coming soon!! I will actually have something to compare my other clones to

So Gummi Worms aren't complex?
