FWIW, here are my thoughts :

Crushed Caramel Apple: 17mg (typically vapping in a Grande on my Tox Cannon at 4.2. The Cannon is dying, so the last two days have been on an Ego) This has become my go-to vape. All day, every day. This is the one I can't go without. Excellent TH, very good vapor production. Full flavor, although 'caramel apple' is a little misleading. I get more of a buttery maple sort of flavor. People around me while I'm vaping have said it smells of everything from waffle to butterscotch pudding. Whatever you think it smells/tastes like, it is a pleasant mix of sweet fruit and buttery candy. It is sweet, but not uncomfortably sweet. The flavors mix together so well, none of them are overpowering. This is a solid, comfort- style vape, with a good punch.

Just Pear: 12 mg. Very well named. It's just pear. TH is a little less than I'm used to with Crushed Caramel Apple, but still decent. Being what it is, pear is not an overpowering flavor by nature, and Just Pear is true to that natural calmness of flavor. I would like to see a slightly stronger pear flavor, but you can't fault for accuracy. Overall good juice, I will buy more.

Hush: 12 mg. Wow. it's been a few days since I vaped this one and Strawberry Peach Smash, so I dont want to review it in full until I get some more. SPS was good, and I will buy more, but Hush is amazing. As soon as its back in stock, I will be purchasing a full size bottle, and I will throw up my full take on it after a few tankfuls. (Hopefully the new flavors will show up in testers the same time Hush shows back up in full size.... ;) )

That was quick, thanks, Danno. Do you have an ETA on the new flavors in tester size? I'm thinking Dreamscape, butterscotch and caramel bacco sound excellent!

Couldn't wait for the samples. Ordered a bottle of Caramel Bacco tonight. Hoping it tastes as good as it sounds.

I'm giving a close personal look at butterscotch and dreamscape as well.

Yeah, I found a butterscotch from another vendor which was without a doubt the absolute best vape I've ever had. Creamy, buttery almost like a Werther's. I ran through 10 mils of that, and ordered another 10. With the exception of a couple of home brews, the second batch was without a doubt the absolute worst vape I've ever had; acrid, chemical-tasting horror. I am afraid to order it again. I would rather order here anyway, and with my personal experience of consistency in Flux nectar, I am supremely confident this will be excellent.

Butterscotch is just so danged tricky like. Even my own diy recipe, using the same one, I've had batches run the gamut.

At GotVapes one thing we are striving for is consistency and that means using the same base, not switching up manufacturer on PG and VG. We have found what we feel is the best of the BEST and we stick with them, same for Nicotine base.

With that said I'll tell you when I first started vaping I tried a Caramel juice (all VG) from a vendor who will remain unamed and it was the most amazing vape and to this day it still may be my all time favorite (besides our own) but when I reordered the juice it was quite honestly, um, horrible...I was helping the guy do some graphics for his site and we chatted all the time and I told him and he sent out another bottle for me to check...didn't fix it. So I think its consistency and being meticulous in what you are doing and keeping everything as fresh as possible. But consistency with your base is key. I imagine he had ordered his VG from another source or the source he was using was not itself very consistent or maybe even where he got his flavoring from but my impression was it was a problem with his base.

I'll tell you, I've spent ALOT of time vaping unflavored. And "unflavored" is REALLY a misnomer. VG, especially, to me, can taste wildly different depending on manufacture. And the flavor of the bases dramatically impacts the flavor of any mix. Just my two cents, but if anyone wants to try a cheap experiment, just pick up some vg from a pharmacy or natural foods store and see what I mean. You dont have to try "unflavored" nic liquid to get an idea of the variables involved with flavoring.

This may help with my own tribulations in diy. I have a consistent....ummm...unfriendly....flavor in a lot of my mixes. I have tried a few different flavors, some help, some don't, but none of them have goten rid of it completely. I didn't think about flavor from the base. I will need to order some different configurations. lots of trial and error here.....

And I must say, Danno, you have been very succesful in this respect. FluxNectar is the most consistent juice I have tried.

Like I say, try vaping the unflavored first in a fresh carto/clearo. It gives you a whole new perspective in DIY.

disclaimer: this is my opinion and my opinion only.
OMG. Got my bottle of Collosal Caramel Bacco today with my elips kit. Loaded up the elips cart with the Carm Bacco, took a hit and ......... yuuuuuuuuuuuuuck :nah:. Blamed it on the elips. Loaded up a fresh Phoenix BC and ........ yuuuuuuuuuck:nah:. I was really looking forward to this flavor but unfortunately it'll probably end up going down the sink. Tastes to me like a mix of some bad perfume and sewer water. And I know my sewer water having worked in a sewage treatment plant for 31 years.
Now I know juice taste is very subjective and the first person that reads this may love this juice. And that's great. I would love to hear from you. I have tons of different juices that I am not fond of but I can still vape them. This I can not.
I always cut as much slack as I can and hate to put anything down but I can not help myself with this flavor. I'll let this sit for a week or 2 and give it one more try before dumping it but I honestly can not see this improving the way it's starting out.:2c:

Lol!! Taste is pretty subjective. The colossal caramel tobacco is the first juice from GV I have tried. Though it doesnt taste like caramel or Tabacco which is weird. I kind of like it. I can't really describe the flavor but it is smooth and produces good vapor. I received the bottle Monday and it has grown on me already. Hopefully they can fine tune the flavor to taste more like caramel candy with some tobacco. The flavor however does not fit the name though.

Has anyone else tried any of the new juices? If so what do you think?
