I've tried them all and the only 1 really like a lot is Gambit. Castle Long is ok and I like Grand Master a little better than Castle Long. I've been vaping them on PapsX / KFL dual micro coil 28g 10 wraps around 1/16th guide with cotton. Gambit is definitely in my top 5.
I have only tried Castle Long, and I must be the only one who just doesn't like it. I have gone through almost half the bottle from trying it, letting it steep, then trying again. Not sure, there's just something in there that I don't like. I feel like I'm missing something though because it gets such high praise!
Hubby and I went to a new local B&M today, I tried all the Five Pawns juices. Hubby bought Castle Long, I bought Absolute Pin and Queenside. All three aren't bad but I'm not going to make a habit of $27 for 30mls ... It's nice every so often to treat yourself

Can't say that I'm a fan, myself. I bought the Signature Line sampler pack a few weeks ago and let it steep for a couple of weeks. Tried Absolute Pin a week and a half ago (Mini Protank 3 + Vision Spinner) and it made me a bit nauseous. Got around to trying Queenside the other day (V5 RDA + Vamo V5) - not bad, but not anything I felt like I could vape for a long period of time. I just started vaping about 6 weeks ago, so maybe my palate isn't developed enough? Don't know, but so far my favorite ADVs tend to be simpler fruity vapes, sometimes with a hint of mint. Almost afraid to try the other flavors in the sampler pack, though.

5 Pawns is absolutely fantastic. Last order I received a sample of Lucena and directly ordered a bottle... That is just the best juices creator out there IMHO...
I was lucky enough to have a full rack of Kayfuns loaded with every juice from 5P to try them, in my favourite local store.
For me it's Queenside, Gambit and Grandmaster, not necessarily in this order. Really amazing juices. Expensive, really expensive. Worth it? Probably yes. For me it's basically a "as long as I can afford them" situation...

Just received some CL in the mail today. Loaded it up and its still my favorite juice. I don't care about the cost if it keeps me from smoking. Ordered another bottle today for back up. I understand the expense factor for some here on the forum. However, most juices taste like perfume to me and I can't use them. I can get by with CL and Bobas Bounty as my go to juice. There are a couple of others I like but I need CL and BB to get by day to day.
absolutely dittos, I have Queenside with my coffee in the mornings...it makes me look forward to getting up every morning (again, kicking that first ciggie with coffee urge was a hard one but I'm there finally after almost six weeks)
my top three Suicide Bunny (and their offshoot, dig the heck out of that butterscotchy Claim Your Throne as we speak)
the and Standard, and Long Beach Juice Supply Port LB and some others, my daughter gave me are delish!
I'm a noob though..so I'm looking forward to trying a bunch y'all listed..thanks!!
and sorry OP but you can keep the Bourbon flavors..I like Five Pawns flavors but the boozy ones I'm not a fan...
I got to try all their mixology flavors yesterday @ a new local vape shop. Went there to buy another brand and left with Castle Long and Teleos Nightfall. Once I got the CL in my genisis setup @home, I could really taste all the flavors that are in it. I like it a lot
though the coconut pops a little to much. Not sure if it would be an ADV/EDV especially @ the price.
I recently received the Signature Line Sample Pack and loved all the flavors except for Bowdens Mate. I thought the mint was too strong for me, but if you like a strong mint flavor, you'll like it. Gambit was my favorite. I have Kayfuns, but I put it in the Nautilus because I wanted the 3 mls to last as long as possible. It was delicious right to the last drop! Grandmaster, Absolute Pin and Queenside were really good, too, but I just can't get enough of Gambit. I think I may pick up another bottle at the B&M store today. Just wish it wasn't so expensive, but can't deny that they make high quality e-liquids.

I tasted 9 of the 10 using my dripper at a local BM a couple days ago and walked out with Fifth Rank in hand. I did not try Sixty Four because I'm not a fan of dill and had no interest. This was my first time in the store/lounge and it was such a great experience (friendly, patient, & helpful). I can't seem to get Queenside outta my head so I'll be going back this afternoon to purchase. I liked it .. a lot. In fact, I'm not even sure why I didn't buy it 2 days ago. Other flavors seemed a bit to sweet for me but I'm sure to revist them again. Wonderful product.
So I've tried a few Five Pawns juices, and I gotta say, I'm a fan. I literally just cracked open my first Castle Long, which is easily the most complex flavor I've tasted out of the e-liquids I've tried, and an instant favorite of mine. I'm primarily a dripper, and even though these flavors are fairly rich, they aren't overwhelming.
I'd say Five Pawns are an "all week vape" for me, I haven't been tooting on them constantly all day (like I do with cloud science alpha), but they are definitely my go to change of pace, Castle Long is like a nice sweet bourbon after my "meal", if I vape it too much, it loses it's charm, and becomes too overwhelming, maybe because I usually vape 100% VG or something close to it.\
I really do dig this flavor though, the "Kentucky bourbon" is noticable, but it's not the dominant flavor by far, which is probably a good thing, because let's be honest, most don't drink bourbon for it's flavor
Maybe I got a little to "connoisseur-y" with that description, but if you try it, or ever have, then you'd probably have a good idea what I mean
(Although I have to admit, the first puff I took, I thought, "This tastes JUST like an almond joy, blended with a shot of decent bourbon."
I think it's really interesting, good fluid, what do you guys think?
In terms of overall presentation, marketing, development of complex flavors I think Five Pawns is in a league of its own. I won't be buying any anytime soon, and even if I had the money to blow I do not think I would. DIYing has just kind of made it impossible for me to justify buying ejuice at that price. I will stick to vaping it when my friends have it.
In terms of vapeability though, it does get a little overwhelming to the taste buds. You really said it best already so I will just leave it at that.
I'd like to know which juice companies people think might be rivaling Five Pawns in terms of the total "brand experience" if you will. I want to try Bombies.
I'm liking the Queenside and the Absolute Pin juices. My husband has Castle long and it's good as well. It's wonderful to taste the juices and it's great to have 3 B&M's that carry it locally. I would have never tried it if I could only buy it on the net. I actually was going to just drip them but I loaded Queenside in one of my Kayfuns and Absolute Pin in a Fogger just to see if it tasted different. They are a bit muted in both tanks and they be put back for dripping so I don't get to attached to them.

Anyone knows whether FP juices will still taste as good in a newbie equipment like a CE4 ego T?
Yep ......... too expensive for goo that only tastes as good as the person willing to dump the cash makes it; all subjective - as with all juices. Glad you enjoy it!
Someone gave me an almost full 30ml bottle of Grandmaster because they didnt like it. I gave it away because I didnt like it. It wasnt even mediocre
