Five Pawns might just be the most expensive juice vendor in existence

[Rin13]

Sorry I wasn't exact enough for you. $27.50... I have no store near me that sells it so I'd have to order from their site... There it's $27.50, which to be is pretty much $30. Not complaining, I'm just saying that if I were to find a juice I love, I'd rather it be cheaper.

It's not $30. It is $22.50. Subtract the $5.50 for the priority shipping.

Well, from what I read, it seems that even though the liquid was made and bottled almost 3 months ago, it may not be fully steeped... So I'm going to give it a bit before a final verdict. I've just seen many reviews where they claim it's great right away so I guess I got my hopes too far up.

I really enjoy Absolute Pin. Besides Castle Long Reserve, it's the only Five Pawns I truly enjoy. Now, with that said, I use Absolute Pin as a palate cleanser. My every day vape is normally something along the lines of a Vanilla Custard. As we all know, when all day vaping something, the flavor tends to get muted after a while. When this happens, I grab my Absolute Pin and hit it for a few hours. Once I do that, I can go back to Vanilla...and all is good again. Try it! You'll see what I mean!

Such math.

Much good.

If it was bottled 3 months ago it should be fully steeped. It's not to everyone's taste, though - and if you're not an absinthe fan you likely won't care for it!

I've pretty much been vaping solely since yesterday. But it might need some more steep time as mine has a born on date of Jan 1st. I think it may have some more goodness to give out. Look at the bod on the bottle. To each their own. I can't get enough of any of them but I feel there is more to get out of them.

And if I were to find a BMW I love, I'd rather it be cheaper like a Toyota, but it ain't gonna happen. Five Pawns prices are pretty much on par with most other big vendors out there and cheaper than quite a few. Not every vendor is going to sell at MBV prices, especially when they extract their own flavors, put more effort in the packaging, marketing, storefronts, etc.

I vape 90-100mls a week, and even at Five Pawns prices, it is still far cheaper than the 2 pack a day habit I had. Look on the bright side, you could always order juice from these guys:

For that price it better come with a supermodel who recharges my batteries, fills my clearo's, and wraps coils while naked.

You're too kind. Much too kind!

I'm still on the fence with 5p. I've put the bottles away for a good week, maybe longer to steep. They are definitely very good quality e-liguids but they are coming through a little subdued. So far, I really like Gambit and Absolute Pin.

GM is not performing as advertised at the moment. Queenside is all orange and Bowdens Mate is all peppermint-they both have some minimal undertones. GM is barely peanuty but has potential if steeping brings more bang out of it.

As a comparison, I pulled some of Ahlusions Pear black tea blend and the difference was very noticeable. Ahlusion is banging out more flavor. More vape too but its a 70vg mix. It also has a good month and a half steep.

I really like the potential is about the best I can say at this point but will be disappointed if steeping doesn't improve the whole lot especially GM.

Hopefully the Gambit and the Grandmaster would be better, I'll try them some time this week.

Funny you should say that. I have had 3 Five Pawns flavors so far, LCR, Gambit and Grandmaster. LCR is very good, but Gambit and Grandmaster are pretty blah. Grandmaster to my tastes has an artificial PB taste and nothing else going on. Gambit is a very muddled flavor, I cannot pick out any particular flavor and the muddled taste isn't very pleasant. Everyone's tastes are different though, you might like them. I'm just glad I got these as part of a package deal and didn't pay what they ask for them.

Thankfully you're right, everybodys taste is different
I tried both of them today and I kinda like them, much better than the other 3 anyway.
I can't see myself ordering the full version, but I can at least finish using these 2 samples

For comparisons sake:

And the ultimate big winner goes to -Smoke Start. 10ml bottle is $49.99, on sale from $79.99

Tobacco Flavor E-liquid 10ml Bottle

Geez did you check out their ego kit roflmao. You can buy a provari for less

8-o 8-o Surely their website has been hacked?



I mean, they cannot be serious??!!

 

[Rin13]

I don't know. So far I'm not impressed. As far as packaging, I could barely get the bottles open on half of them. The rubber squeezy thing was stuck to the the bottle. I'm wondering if I got a defective batch? Has anyone else experienced this?

And if I were to find a BMW I love, I'd rather it be cheaper like a Toyota, but it ain't gonna happen.

I seem to remember on the sample pack I had trouble getting one of them open. But the flavors made up for that

I guessing their currency conversion algorithms are screwed up. Either that or their website reflects B&M prices in a high-rent district. (if they have one).

Sad thing is... somebody will buy this stuff.

Mine have been sent to steeping school. It's been a day or two since I put them away and I'm thinking about them quite a lot. There is certainly quite a lot of quality in those juices as I vape others. I'm hoping they come around by the time my first Bobas order comes in so I can let Bobas steep without touching and have 5P to play with. I'm pretty certain I'll be ordering at least Gambit and Pin in 30 mil and we'll see what happens to the others. I need five juices as all day vapes and I think in a week or two this will narrow down quite a bit.

Interesting discussion here. Found this trying to google a clone recipe for some of the FP flavors. I did splurge around christmas time and got all 5 flavors plus the uber pricey castle long.

That being said, have all of you been spoiled by ONLY buying juice online?! The standard pricing is $1/ml at any B&M. Usually it's just shy of that. I've paid $16/15ml of Ruthless juices, and this stuff is $27.50 for 30ml. Is it as cheap as bobas? No, but I've run across several discussions complaining about boba's outrageous pricing. And yes, I still buy a select few flavors that I find difficult to find flavoring, or at least quality flavoring for and usually comes out to about $40ish/100ml.

All that being said, the actual products arent what you're buying - you're paying for research and development, packaging, labor to make, package, and ship, and helping someone else out by putting money in their pockets for their time, effort, and work. When I make liquid, I have it down to about $3.50/30ml bottle, however, I had to purchase the ingredients to make some 10 bottles at a time, so $50+ in investment to get that price.

Even at this price for juice, it's still cheaper than smoking, and they do have one hell of a lineup of flavors. All but queenside is just too rich for me to vape all day. I tried that with the gambit, by the end of it, it was almost (*almost*) sickening to vape and was glad the tank was empty. However, all of them are quite tasty for outings and as a desert vape. If your only gripe is cost, you could look into going back to paying over $7-$15/day for the ol' analogs. At least this $30 lasts me 10 days or more.

Or better yet, to make the analogy more clear. This is the ejuice equiv of finding that fine cigar that you spend $20 for one. That's a few packs of smokes right there, all for one sitting, one special event. All of my FP I still have from christmas time. Because, after all, they're rich and hard to vape all day, so I'll fill half a tank here, half a tank there, maybe fill a full tank on a backup if I'm going out and want to share.

I personally like five pawns. Queenside is my ADV. I get more of a creamy custard than orange though so that may be why I like it so much.
