Well this noob finally got his first equipment from Smokeless Image. 8 day delivery which I think is really good from the U.S. Got the new X2 1300 batteries, together with their new clearos and XL cartos. Vaped for the first time on FC juices and I must say that experience last night was far from pleasant. Harsh hits and horrid tastes. Don't know what I did wrong or if simply adjusting but today it's surprisingly all good! Perhaps the equipment has somehow 'broken in' since first use. I've been through approx. 6 of the sample juices from FC thus far and even though I may not know the difference yet as much as some of the veterans out there, I must say that the Honey Cigar is also my favorite thus far. I got it in 24mg and using the new stardust-type clearo with it. I took a chance and ordered 30ml of the Honey Cigar on the strength of recommendations in this thread and in retrospect, this was a good idea. Love the stuff and I'll be buying it again.
Have not had a cigarette in 21 hours and although that may not be saying much, I have not been able to say this in decades. I will definitely order from FC again after I fine-tune my preferences and gain more experience. Their processing time and customer service follow-ups are really top notch.

Did you get a sample of the Maple Cured Tobacco? Very similar to Sweet Honey Cigar, a little less cigar flavour, yummy. This is my second favourite.

Yes, I did get the Maple Cured but oddly enough I can barely taste any maple in it. Perhaps it needs time to steep. Just received these juices 4 days ago. It was not unpleasant though.

I think one of my flavours got mixed up in the wrong bottle - I had ordered the black cherry tobacco one and when I tried it last night all I could taste was hazelnut :confused: no cherry or tobacco/cigar kind of taste either,

I was wondering what flavour made my holding container smell so darn nutty considering I had no nutty flavours in that container.. I found the culpurit :glare: when I tried the cherry tobacco one.. lol

I have already sent them an email about it, they have excellent cust service there I am not worried. and if that's the way this flavour is supose to taste like.. guess I won't be ordering it again :laugh:

I also had very little flavour from the maple tobacco, so I added six drops of maple and two drops of tobacco flavour from my PerfumersApprentice stash, to a 10ml bottle. Now it's one of my new favorites.

I hate to rain on this love parade, but I just visited their webpage and added a single bottle to the cart to check out what the price would be after shipping. After taxes and shipping the total came out to 32.97 for a 30ml bottle. Now, I'm just wondering here, isn't over a dollar per ML a little, what's the word I'm looking for here...INSANE?

It helps, but even after the discount it still comes to over a dollar per ml. They're still somewhere between 2 or 3 dollars more expensive per 30ml bottle than just about every vendor out there. And that's after applying the discount.

ya i hear you. I can't do without the strawberry so i do not mind paying a bit more for it, but if you are just trying them out and not sure if you will like them it is hard to justify the price. I will mention that he always (as far as i know) throws in a freebie as well. They do have variety packs in various configurations, but still the price is up there

Yeah, some think so. But it's up to the vendor to decide what they're product is worth and obviously they're doing quite well with it. I don't disagree with you, just saying it's doesn't seem to affect their sales in the least. Not only that but I get it much cheaper, my boyfriend loves their watermelon and I like juicy peach. If I had to pay $30/30ml we wouldn't buy it though, it's not that good.

They can charge whatever they want. Obviously they're doing well with these prices or no one would buy and they'd have to lower them. All I'm saying is that the people on this forum, and just about anyone who's ever taken 5 minutes to look into DIY, know that commercial juice is already marked up pretty heavily. I realize that not everyone can do the whole DIY. Some people don't have the patience, the time, or the will to mix their own stuff, so they get it from online vendors. Those vendors can charge whatever they want. Now, I dunno who runs Flavour Crafters, for all I know they're a big company with 10 full time employees mixing juices just to keep up with demand. What I do know is that with commercial juice already pretty heavily marked up, charging 3 or 4 dollars more per bottle than just about any other vendor comes off looking like straight up greed.

I don't know if it's my taste buds adjusting or that the juice has steeped a little longer, but I just tried the Maple Cured Tobacco again today and....it's fantastic. Pretty much what I've been looking for. I'll definitely be getting a big bottle of this one next time.

Also really enjoying their Export A and Coconut Rumball. I hated the Full Flavoured Tobacco (tasted like soap and bubblegum to me). Could not get into the Black Cherry either. Blackberry Brandy was 'ok' while Havanna Cigar was a bit too grassy tasting for me. Have yet to try the Mac Maurier.

I understand FC have 25% off sales from time to time. I wonder how we can be alerted to this when it happens again as I'd be buying a whole bunch with that discount.

How long has the Black Cherry Tobacco steeped? Took 2 weeks for me and it was heaps better. Funny I found the Havanna to be a bit on the sweet side.

Not long, only got them in the mail 6 days ago so including transit time...I'd say 9 days. Will give the ones I don't like another chance and just wait for them to steep a bit longer as suggested.

Just tried the Mac Maurier. This has got to be the closest thing to a real cigarette experience yet, if that's what you're after. Tons of vapour too. Slightly raspier throat hit than the Export A (also very nice), but I think it was formulated this way intentionally to mimick a real cigarette hit. Absolutely perfect balance between grassy, sweet and smokey undertones, at least for my taste buds. This one is a winner for me and I'll be reordering it. Terrific job on this one, FC!
