...if you prefer no throat hit...why didn't you just order 0mg?

Why did you order "a bunch" of juice if you haven't tried them before?

Do a search on the forum for Five Pawns. You'll find the answers that way.

I've had a lot of 3 with no throat hit... I ordered it because I got an insanely low price and came at the highest recommendation. I was asking more specifically for personal experience, and if I had ease finding it in other forums I wouldn't have directly posted here.

Five Pawns is pretty mellow on their throat hit. Queenside is about the only flavor of theirs I would consider to buy regularly as my only favorite of theirs and buy a bottle about once a year as a birthday present to myself. Personally my opinion of them is mid-par juice for a++ super premium price, their quality, not full honesty of what is in their liquids, and their price drives me away. I'm not paying anyone's prestige price for a juice of the same quality of companies like Space Jam or others, nor an extra 10bones just because the juice was steeped in a barrel like we are buying Kentucky ....**n. These are just my opinions and my opinions only, however I will say they have been around a few years and have a good track record fulfilling customer orders and customer service, they are a good juice company just not good to enough to be asking what they do IMO.

It's nice juice for a Flavor Chaser in General, but they have come out with their new line that is High VG for the Cloud Chasing Sub Ohm Folks. I used it for years the 50/50 Blends that is and like several. Consistent quality at a premium

Thanks for the help! I got like 120 mls total with some of the high vg variety i'm more exited than I can even express as a true enthusiast.

I worked at a vape shop a couple of years ago, and our shop carried the Five Pawns line. Being an employee, I got to drip whatever flavors I wanted all day.

My personal favorite of the Five Pawns line is Castle Long, but you didn't mention that one in your list. Most people either love it or hate it. It's a Kentucky Bourbon flavor with coconut, vanilla, almond, and brown sugar notes.

Five Pawns was considered our top-of-the-line premium flavor. Many customers balked at the premium price, but we also had several customers who would purchase six bottles of their favorite flavor with each visit. I don't believe Five Pawns advertised what the Pg/Vg ratio was, but I assume it was 50/50. A higher Pg content would result in a higher throat hit, lower Pg content would have less throat hit. However, nicotine concentration has more effect on throat hit than Pg content.

I ordered a bunch of juice from 5 pawns. I got the grandmaster, symmetry, gambit and queenside all in 3mg. Anyone have experience with this ejuice? And I'm a big recklessly low subohm hybrid mech kinda guy what can you say about the throat hit? I prefer none and this is my only worry.

5 Pawns. Some of their eliquids are among the best I've ever had. One of these days (SOON) I'll reorder some of my faves. I've tried the "Insignia Series Sample Pack" and individual bottles. Here are my vape notes...I did not write everything down. Keeping a list became somewhat of a burden.

- Bowden's Mate, "inspired by after dinner mint, flavorful chocolate, crisp mint, vanilla finish" Great after dinner vape! It is all there depending on how you vape. Mint seems like it is going to be overpowering on inhale, but recedes rapidly. There is no fault with this liquid but I question how many mints would you eat prior to or after dinner. (GRADE: B)

- Castle Long, Really great, rich and full body. BUY AGAIN. Flavor as advertised, "KY Bourbon flavor note, coconut, almond" BUY AGAIN! (GRADE: A)

- Gambit, "mellow apple pie, flaky crust, caramel, french vanilla ice cream" The apple is pretty light, but it seems to be close. (GRADE: C)

- Grandmaster, "smooth, rich peanut butter and banana cream drizzeled with caramel," nice vape, subtle flavors, (GRADE: B-)

- Queenside, Pleasant citrusy...orange smooth start on front of tongue, taste gets stronger, more bitter on prolonged drag, has a bite, will try rest of sample later. (GRADE: C-)

Well, I used to be a big Five Pawns guy. Loved Queenside and Bowden's Mate was pretty good too. I tanked and dripped both in 3mg, and throat hit was pretty minimal. I also got some Symmetry Six, but found that it lost most of its flavor within 3 months. Then along came the Diacetyl thing and then questionable business practices, so I just moved on

Can you explain to me the questionable buisness practices aspect? And I may be stupid but since diacetyl only led to the popcorn lung in a single isolated case I'm not very worried on that aspect.

As far as I know, there are no reports of anybody coming to any harm vaping products with diacetyl, yet.

Calling a 'single isolated case' needs clarification @Jack Sullivan - you can't just 'put that out there'...

As we know, there a levels of diacetyl considered below vs. above the acceptable boundaries by various agencies (some pro-vaping, others not).
I personally intend to stick below that level. Rumours suggest certain companies exceed these levels.
The idea of exceeding the recommend maximum dose would scare me off...

I was referring specifically to the popcorn factory where people contracted "pop corn lung" that has been used as the example of why diacetyl is dangerous
