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 tried a 2.4 head and 2.8 (the 2.8 behaved better) in a stardust at 3.2 3.3 volts or so. I'm pretty strictly a lower watts vaper. But with this stuff, if I turn it even slightly up or chain vape at all it tastes burnt.

I need to ask what is dragoncon...

But on an adult bev vape try one of the classic bacco vapes, look into possibly Pyramid Fusion and then of course venture over to our Liqua line--the American (and Traditional).

I ordered a juice from Alien long tiem ago called Havana, very clean cigar, didn't like it by itself but it was much better when your whistle was wet with an adult bev...


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.

Got my contest juices and a sample today. I'm really liking the crushed carmel apple. Nice apple flavor, and just enough caramel. Sweet, but not too sweet.

I'm on the fence about Hush. It's OK, but there's something in there I'm not sure about. Could be pineapple, I haven't liked some pineapple juices I tried. But I do keep vaping it, so there's something to it :).

I'll probably get to the sample of Cinnamon Bun later tonight or tomorrow.

Bananas Foster-I just can't warm up to this juice. It's more like that banana candy (you know the kind you can get out of candy machines with all the fruit shaped and flavored pieces). It's not caramel flavored at all to me. It's not a bad vape just not what I was expecting.

Lol now i have to try it i used to love them lil candies

Frothachino-this, for me, was an unequivocable NO. It tastes remarkably like my own DIY coffee vapes and reminded me just why I quit trying to DIY this flavor. It's absolutely the first GV flavor I just couldn't even vape an entire carto of. If you like working with the flavor apprentice coffee clear flavorings you will probably enjoy this, but I just couldn't do it.

I still have a bottle of the cigar juice you mentioned that is made by someone other than GotVapes. I have to admit, it DID taste like it needed to be paired with an adult beverage, but since I don't drink anymore, everytime I used it, I had to imagine I was in a hammock somewhere stretched between 2 palm trees relaxing in an ocean breeze to fully enjoy it. lol

There is no way for us to make flavors that everyone will like, that is a impossible task as everyones taste buds differ so when we blend flavors before we have them sent out to be made we have many people taste them and we go by a middle number, if a flavor is disliked by a larger portion of hidden testers then the flavor is dropped, we try are best to make flavors with less additives, no sweeteners, no caffeine, nothing except base, nic and flavors.

to try to make more people happy we decided to switch up flavors every few months so that more options are available to more pallets

Yep, this I know, which is why I always try to say more precisely what I think something tastes like, rather than I like it or i don't. Because it just might be someone's next new best flavor. Even if it isn't something I like. I met people who loved that coffee clear flavor.

Overall I have been very pleased with the samplers I have tried.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do :)

One thing I have to say is that I have tried 9 flavors from here so far. None were either bad or unvapable for me right out of the bottle. There's only one other juice vendor I can say that about and I've gotten samples or small bottles from many different vendors.

Out of those 9, I can easily see 3 or 4 becoming part of my regular rotation. I generally don't make a final judgement on a juice until it's steeped at least 2 weeks, so after my initial try, all 9 flavors went to a cool dark place to sit with a daily shake.

The juices just have a clean, fresh taste for lack of better terms to describe them. I can't detect any common undertone the way I can with certain other vendors, which tells me that you're using a pretty neutral tasting base.

As with anyone, not every flavor particularly agrees with me so far, but I've seen flavors come together and even transform after some steeping, so I do keep an open mind.

My :2c:

Strawberry Peach Smash: Delicious, getting just a hint of the peach, but that's ok because the strawberry flavor is really good. Right now I'm mixing it 50/50 with a Peach Pie flavor I got from another vendor that had too much "crust" flavor for me. The SPS makes it taste like what I think a pie flavored vape should taste like.

City Lights: Um... not for me. I taste pine and I just can't vape it at all. I ended up giving the rest of my sampler to a buddy and he likes it a lot.

Pear: What can I say? I like pears and I like this. Nice pure flavor with a nice bite at the end.

Berry Blue Bacco: I'm starting to think I really like fruity juices because, once again, this is good. The blueberry flavor is mellow, very natural tasting. There is a hint of tobacco, which is nice because I feel if it were any stronger it would kill the blueberry. I could vape this all day.

Colossal Caramel Bacco: Getting the same pine flavor as I got from City Lights, just not as strong so I'm going to revisit it in a week or so. I want to like it.

Americano: The best tobacco flavor I've had in my 8 weeks of vaping. This is a nice, simple tobacco. Tastes like smoking, lol. This and a Watermelon Bubblegum (from another vendor) went to work with me today and, as much as I like the watermelon, I've gone through 2ml of the Americano so far while the watermelon is about .5ml down. I'm vaping it as I write this.

50 State Salute: Haven't tried it yet because I was sent this

I think it might be Star Fruit? I'll give it a try soon either way :p

Just got in another largeish sample order and will be putting up a longer review once I get around to vaping them all, I do have a question though.

Has anyone else gotten graham cracker or almonetto? I got a sample of both in this batch and they are perfectly clear with absolutely no smell. I filled a phoenix BC with the graham cracker and the only taste that I am getting is that of primer, then dripped some in an atty and got the same result.

I have yet to try the almonetto but also detect no smell at all from the bottle (and my vaping buddy gets the same smells/taste from them)

Is it possible I got an unflavored batch?

I got some grape in the mail this week. Seemed a little mild when I first tried it. Loaded it into a Stallion and the flavor seems to be building. I may ask for an extra shot of flavor on the next order.

If I remember correctly you can ask for it in the comments section. And if they can accommodate you they will. :)
