OK. My taste buds are back on a sweet kick. I have never tried the Swedish Fish or the Gummy Bears. I have tried all the new flavors and none of them are what I am seeking at the moment so I thought I would look at their original offers that I have not tried. Any opinions on these two? Sweet enough at normal mix level or do they require a flavor bump?

swedish double it or just ask for a little extra splash, its sweet, but do not double gummy unless you want more gunk, i cant control it in the formula

Yeah, I'll second not doubling the gummy bears. I like it but it is a caramelizing gunking flavor.

Got some Berry Blue Bacco in my last tester pack. I like it alot. It's definitely for lovers of tobacco flavors, much heavier on tobacco than berry. It has a nice TH, the tobacco flavor is consistent, but not too powerful. The berry flavor is there, but far in the background. I might like a little more berry in there, but overall, another excellent nectar.

The root beer float is one of my own personal faves...

Rootbeer Float- nice sharp bite of rootbeer nicely balanced with that smooth creamy flavor. It's very realistic, which is kind of my problem with most soda flavors, I keep expecting them to be cold instead of warm. All in all, if you like cola type vapes then this one is a winner.

Why are most all tobacco juices on the yellow to tan spectrum. And butterscotch is in the yellow to orange range. But my Butterscotch Blast Bacco is clear as water. And the taste is very very nothing. Did danno forget to put flavoring in my sample?

OK. It's gotta be me. Besides the Butterscotch Blast Bacco I also just got the Blueberry Blast Bacco and 50 States Salute. The Blueberry Bacco has a hint of Blueberry to me but other than that all three taste like unflavored juce to me. All three crystal clear. None ringing my chimes.
Also got samples of Cake Supreme and Peach Cobbler. Both show signs of promise but I think they need to sit a week or two.
Also got a 36ml Swedish Fish and that too seems like it needs to be steeped.
It's gotta be me. Seven different flavors and thay all taste like duds to me today.
On the other hand the Pyramid Fusion is as awesome as always.
I'll revisit them all in a week or so and see what changes.

OK. My taste buds seem to be returning. Time to refresh my opinions.
50 State Salute - Very light flavor. Not sure if I would say it's tobacco. OK vape but not on my restock list.
Blueberry Bacco Blast - Kinda growing on me. Get a lot of Blueberry but not much tobacco. But I kind like it like this. Possibly a restock.
Butterscotch Blast Bacco - Still not getting any BS or Bacco. Still tastes like unflavored juice to me.
Swedish Fish - I suppose if you really like Swedish Fish it would be great. I was just looking for something sweet, but it has not hit my spot. It is sweet but I guess the story is I never really liked Swedish Fish. Ordering some Gummy Bear to give that a shot.
Cake Supreme and Peach Cobbler - Both are appealing to me on their own but I am mixing a batch half and half with a little sweet cream in it to see what that does. Cake Supreme at the moment seems like something I want to have around as a base to add other flavors too.
Pyramid Fusion - Still my absolute favorite. BUT ... I had to open the car windows again yesterday because my wife still thinks it smells like pee. :laugh: I'm always switching flavors and she has no idea what I have at the time, but she always catches this one. I'll just have to keep this my privacy vape.

I just got in some samples today. All regular flavor, 11mg nic.

These are just my initial impressions, I'll post further impressions once I let them steep a while.

Butterscotch tastes basically like butterscotch hard candies. Nice flavor, could go into the rotation.

Vanilla Scream. I'm getting some kind of odd flavor to it. Maybe a too much vanillin flavor, maybe something else. I'm not too fond of it right now, but I'll have to let it steep a while to be sure.

Creamy Sicle - Ok so far, creamy and sweet, not alot of orange flavor yet. Shows promise.

Frothaccino - Strong coffee flavor with hints of cinnamon and hints of sweet on the exhale. I like it so far but have a feeling it needs some more steeping time.

Dreamscape - Ok, this stuff is nice. Right now, I'm getting a very fruity blend. I'm think I can taste pear, maybe the predominant flavor, but it's complex and hard to pin down for sure. Smooth and enjoyable. Definately a rotation candidate so far.

Another thing I noticed is that there's no decernable flavor signature like some other vendors have. I'm guessing that this is due to a very clean tasting nic base.

I have 3 more flavors coming in a couple of days. I'll post my impressions of those too.

Chris and I did alot of testing on nic base and what we use now is the best of the best...certainly not the cheapest but the best...

It shows.

Individual flavors are a personal thing, but if the base has a distinct flavor that doesn't agree with the customer, pretty much all of that vendor's flavors won't work for that person.

Dreamscape-This is a relatively nice fruity flavor, it is in a category with Hush in my opinion. However, while it does not seem to have that perfume note, I find it burns and darkens too easily. This is not a flavor for me.

Out of curiosity, what are you vaping it with and at what voltage? I used a mini nova with a 2.4 ohm head (measured 2.6) on a chrome YJ lavatube and I didn't have any burning at up to 4.8 volts.

I've come across a few juice vendors that have a underlaying flavor I dislike and ended up wasting too much money. And they were all well know vendors. It just goes to show how taste is so subjective.

I ordered more Hush. Should be in tomorrow. I ended up really liking it. I kinda wanted to try a couple more and get another 6ml of dreamscape because I remember liking it but couldn't put my finger on it. I decided to save the money for the time being……mostly because dragoncon is coming up and that weekend always winds up expensive. I'll probably try some more at some point, especially since it seems like some of the taste I wasn't liking was actually from the redundant coil/body insulation piece in my vivi nova scorching. I took them out and everything tastes better. I'll probably wait until I try my hand at rebuilding with SS mesh + kanthal before I go on another tasting binge……but some of these will be in it.

One question……does anyone have a recommendation for something that goes along well with drinking (liquor; classic drinks, not fruity "hide the alcohol" garbage)?

I've been using my all-day vapes (a redbull and a key lime…hush was okay) but they get to me after a while, depending on what I'm drinking. Dessert is definitely a no-go; fruit is kinda……a maybe thing, I guess. And I generally seem not to like tobacco vapes. It's the one thing missing, and I don't crave cigarettes anymore. But the tastes tend to get stuck in my mouth/head and sometimes get on my nerves. I'm honestly considering just using unflavored nic base (diluted down to 12mg/ml) for those times.

Have you tried coffee or tea flavored vapes? I'm not big on tea, but there are a couple of coffee type vapes in their lineup.
