Five Pawns - Good and Not so Good

[ScubaBebe]

I can't stand absinthe. Am I going to hate that one? Will they switch that one or stuck with the five?

Jophish, What does new castle long reserve taste like?

 

[MsComptrtchr]

I heard that the new flavor is a lemon blueberry crumble (I think) or something similar - basically something fruity with bakery undertones. Sound good? Um, yeah!

five pawns will be a favorite vendor of mine for a very long time to come. I love all the flavors and am currently ordering a large bottle of Grandmaster as an all day vape. I'll be taking some small sample bottles to vape-A-Palooza here in Atlanta just for people to try if they want.

If you like blood oranges and Cuties, PLEASE don't pass on the Queenside!

Hey bro, ill be hunting you down ASAP Really looking forward to trying these out before I splurge and spends hundreds.

 

[MsComptrtchr]

OK, I am a HUGE Cutie fan. IMO, I would not necessarily compare Queenside to a Cutie. Cuties are sweet and bright. Queenside is definitely an authentic (vs. artificial) orange, but not as much sweet tartness as a Cutie. I think of it as a deeper orange, maybe zestier. Does that make sense? But as usual, YMMV.

Okay...my Cuties reference comes from the fact that the only carbonated beverage I would ever drink is Izze's Clementine and it reminds me of Cuties. Queenside gives me that little tingle in the back of my throat that one gets from a carbonated drink. Fuzzy logic? I admit it is.

 

[MsComptrtchr]

Wouldn't that be "fizzy logic" Glad to see you are in the trenches with me spreading the Five Pawns love

 

[BennyBlanco]

wow, these prices are absurd

if they offered it without the superfluous packaging for an easier to stomach price i'd give them a shot

Yeah, when something's really good you just want to share it!

 

[MsComptrtchr]

I'd rather pay a lot for juice I know I love and will use happily to the last drop in the bottle than blow money on mods and equipment that I will end up trading later. Five Pawns isn't for everyone, but there are those of us who find it worth it.

more power to ya, i'm sure it's good juice.

$30 for a bottle? fools. your a fool if you pay it as well sorry. they are trying to put crap in peoples heads. they are trying to convince people there juice is like a fine wine. hence the price point. well, i dont buy crystal so i wont be buying there "fine wine".

really bothers me when people try to profit off hard working people, especially when the product is no better then a good juice vendor. have tried a lot of juice vendors, have tried five pawns at a gathering. tasted no better then good juice from said vendors. wasnt bad at all, but trying to influence me its worth $1 a ml is not going to happen.

hopefully these guys will be the cause of there own demise.

some people like cristal and it's worth what the market dictates

i wouldn't pay this much for juice but i wouldn't call people fools for buying it. it's none of my business how people choose to spend their money.

its worth what the market dictates? i am sorry which eliquid market are you shopping in? pretty sure we all shop in the ONE and only market out there. hes trying to dictate it to you not vice versa. hes hoping people jump on his bandwagon.

don't feel like making him rich when other juice vendors offer the same quality liquid. he talks like a new car salesmen. go look at his interviews. we all know what car salesmen are full of when they are trying to make a sale. he praises his own juice. every great juice vendor i know, take praises doesn't give them to themselves.

i guess i dont like his snotty attitude like his juice can do no wrong.

not going to go on. dont want turn this into a rant.

if you like it, enjoy.

i was talking about cristal. fine wines are a completely different story.

i don't know anything about 5 pawns other than they're charging $1/ml, which to me is absurd considering what it costs to make and the low overhead of selling through a website.

 

[MsComptrtchr]

So, it's not for you. Your tastes aren't there. Whatever, move on dude. Let us rave in our own thread. You go to the Dekang thread and have at it, k?

This is my wine, since I don't drink, however it takes me 2-3 weeks to get through a bottle, not a couple of glasses. Still cheaper than cigs for 2 weeks. I have blown a lot of money on "said vendors" and was rarely impressed. That cost me a lot more than this $27.50 bottle I got here (which, if you do the math is less than a dollar a ml, but hey it's just math, right?) Oh yeah and that includes priority shipping and if you live outside CA, no tax, but whatever.

I can't change your mind, but calling us fools won't change ours either, so move on.

They also have a storefront and B&M stores sell it around the country. He charges the same price as the B&Ms so as not to undercut his vendors. Ever bought premium juice in a B&M?

Don't knock what you don't know. The guys at Five Pawns have never come off snotty to me - have you actually talked to Rodney or Jay?

 

[JJOOHHNN]

Those knocking the juice, have you tried it? I have not so I cannot comment. In other markets there are premium products that are indeed better but out of the price range that some want to pay.

Some people are willing to pay double the price for a 20% improvement, others are not. I cannot say that it is better than other juices or not because I have not tried it. I would like to give it a shot and see if it is better, I may or many not like it and if I do think it is the best I may or may not think it is worth the difference. I will not know until I try.

Why do so many people out here judge something until they have given it a try? If you don't want to spend that kind of money then don't.

 

[Train2]

Actually I read a little story on them somewhere, and the logic was that they are not trying to compete with online vendors, rather, they are a boutique STORE, and they have high rent and other overhead costs. They therefore built a business model charging a premium for what seems to be well-regarded juice. Are their ingredients extravagantly expensive? Not so much - but it's good, and they're not tricking anyone, they're just a high-priced boutique vape shop, who's juice you CAN get online if you're willing to spend that much.
