I keep reading how people feel these are too expensive, fair enough they cost more then other juices but nothing compares...
And it's still cheaper then analogue's...

if you think " nothing compares" , and you are saving money compared to your analogue days, then by all means continue. I have tried all their juices, and liked one ( castle long ) a lot, but there are plenty of juices at half 5p prices, that I think compare favorably.

I got the Signature Edition sample pack a few days ago. I haven't tried Grandmaster yet, because I didn't have a tank free. My personal ranking so far: Bowden's Mate > Queenside > Gambit > Absolute Pin.
Absolute Pin is such an odd flavor that I can't quite get into it. I don't DISlike it, but...
Gambit is good, but I wouldn't describe it as "pie." But maybe that's just my brain rejecting the idea because I don't SEE the pie.
I was afraid Queenside would be just a creamsicle, but its totally better than that.
Bowden's Mate... ah, nice and minty. I don't detect any of the promised chocolate though.
The only thing is: I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay what they're asking for a full bottle of ANY of these.
As to Grandmaster, the one I was most looking forward to: I was going to put it in a new tank I had just ordered, only to find I had gotten the wrong tank. HURR. I just finished another tank up though, so I'll probably try it tonight if I have time.

I fell in love with Gambit the other day when I sampled it for the first time. I totally get the apple pie with cinnamon..
Happy to take Gambit off your hands one way or another!
I love Gambit! If I only vaped it and nothing else, it would cost me $6+ per day. Which is way more than I was spending on analogs, so I vape cheaper juice too.
Hmmm, a local B&M has their juices for sale, I sampled all of them and I was completely underwhelmed, none of the flavors grabbed me at all, glad I got a chance to try them out and figure out they just aren't for me. I guess I'm lucky, it would be devastating if I fell in love with $1 per mL juice
dude I'm all about Grandmaster. Wowie! After trying these at BEYOND VAPE in NYC, I was sold at their pricetag. It's an expensive e-liquid, but it's definitely of topshelf quality. More impressed with them than Alice in Vapeland mainly because the complex flavors aren't as subtle as Alice's.
One question though about Five Pawns.... does it come pre-steeped?

Yes, it does. I've purchased from Five Pawns four times (I think) and each time the bottles were a little more than 30 days old when I received them.
It's a funny thing how we all can taste different flavors in the same juice. Personally, I don't get an apple pie flavor from Gambit. I like Gambit but I just don't get the apple pie effect. When I received my first sample of Gambit I handed my set up to my wife and asked her to take a few hits and then tell me what she tasted. She had no idea what it was supposed to taste like. The only clue I gave her was that it should taste like a common flavor. She took one puff and said "Apple Pie"?
Go figure.
It IS funny. Also, I do not like apple pie to eat, nor apple flavored ejuice, but I love Gambit! Go figure.
I was out of town on business a couple weeks ago, and to kill time one evening, I wandered into a local B&M. My B&M mixes its own juice (which I love), but this place was a FP reseller. I tasted just about everything on the menu. REALLY liked Castle Long. Bought one bottle. (If I could have figured out how to get it on my expense report..... )
)
Okay, finally tried the Grandmaster sample I got... what a letdown! It smells great, but I can barely taste anything. That's the flavor I was most looking forward to, too.
So, my updated ranking of the Signature sample pack:
Bowden's Mate > Queenside > Gambit > Grandmaster > Absolute Pin
