First off, I don't need to say how good FSUSA's service is...just read any other review of them and you'll see that. First, here's a link to their website.

I ordered these flavors a week ago, and have sampled them a bit, but have let them age a week to try and get a true feel for how they really taste. I vape on a Riva with a LR atty, and have just quit smoking two weeks ago, so bear that in mind as well as my taste buds are still dulled I'm sure.

Pina Colada 24mg 20%vg - Very nicely blended. Sweet, but not overly so in any way. Pineapple and coconut are the main taste with maybe something else there as well...like a fruit punch. Very flavorful.

Forest Fruit 12mg 20%vg - Hard to place this one. It doesn't taste like Hawaiian Punch at all. It's more like banana and pineapple and coconut, etc. Like the Pina Colada, sweet but not too much.

Banana Cream 24mg 20%vg - One of my favorites. Just like the name implies, it's a very creamy banana. This one had a lot of taste for me and is very smooth. I love banana flavor, but I hate bananas...the potassium in them upsets my stomach. Now I can finally enjoy that taste again.

Cherry, Black 24mg 20%vg - This has a nice, rich cherry flavor without being too much on the "candy" side. Doesn't taste like a cough drop or syrup, and again not overly sweet.

Zen Garden 24mg 20%vg - Floral accents throughout this one. Hard to place a flavor, because I don't eat flowers. Not overly thrilled with this one, but it's far from awful...just not my style. I'll put it away and maybe later down the road I'll try it again and see if that's changed.

Hypnotic Myst 24mg 20%vg - I know a lot of people like this, but I'm not one of them. Like Zen Garden, it's hard to place the flavor. It has some floral and some fruit to it, and it's very light. Will store it away also.

Spearmint 24mg 20%vg - A good mint flavor. Best way to describe it is that it's kind of a smooth mint. That's not to say it doesn't have some "zing" to it, but it's kind of mellowed a bit. Doesn't freeze the back of your throat like a menthol or strong mint does. A bit on the sweet side as well.

RY4 12mg No PG/VG ratio shown - This is the only RY4 that I've tried so far....but I might not need to try any more. This stuff is fantastic! Rich, smooth, mellow and sweet. Caramel and vanilla (or maybe butterscotch?) are there and it's like a little dessert party in my mouth every time I take a drag. I don't taste any tobacco...it might be there, but if so, it's a hint and not the main flavor. Highly recommended!

Grape Concord 12mg 20%vg - Not sure with this one. I don't get much, if any taste from it. Almost like it's pure mix that someone forgot to put the flavoring into. This is one reason I let these samples sit for a week...to see if this one changed any. But it hasn't. Maybe it's supposed to be a light grape flavor, but I don't taste it at all. Unusual because everything else has great flavor.

Every juice I tried has very good vapor production and flavor (with the exception of the Grape Concord...no idea what happened there). When you combine that with the excellent service, the ability to customize almost every juice to your strength and PG/VG mix, and the reasonable prices, FreedomSmokes USA is highly recommended. They were very quick in processing my order and I had it two days after placing it. These folks don't deserve your business, they earn it and should be considered a credit to the community of vapers out here.

Now....time to order a complete line of tobacco. I think I'm going to skip the normal stuff and go right to the Cuban, Shade, etc. Not a big USA flavor tobacco guy, but I'm definitely curious to see how well they do the more exotic flavors. Payday can't get here quick enough! :drool:

Thanks for the reviews. I was eyeballing the forest fruit last night and was hoping to find a review.

You picked up a lot of tropical flavors? That just sounds odd considering the name of the juice. While I love tropical flavors, the coconut would just blow that one for me. I like pina colada, oddly enough, but only if the coconut is not a premier flavor in it.

I'm with you on the Hypnotic Mist. I can't quite place the flavors and think I'll let this one sit awhile. Right now it tastes a bit like Trix cereal to me. It's not a bad taste but I just think my taste buds and sense of smell are still recovering.

Oh, it's not a 'don't like' for HP. It's more of a 'not sure'. I keep trying it so it's not 'that' bad. I've had a few juices that I never try again so keep that in mind.

I know I'm missing something and think it may just be on my end. So, I'll let it sit and see what I get when I come back to it later.

I may have to order the Pina Colada and see how it goes. I'm actually more interested in the fruit flavors so I'm hunting down reviews to see what I can find. If you have anything to add on pineapple or peach, let me know. Those two are favorites so far.

Aww, I'm sorry y'all don't like the HM - I hate to have helped to waste anyone's $$.

Satharra, the predominate flavor in their pina colada, to me, is pineapple. I have a bottle of vaporbomb's, and theirs is coconut. Just fyi.

I just love the HM, especially at night! In my last order, David and Pamela included a sample of pina colada. It's so good! I agree that the predominate flavor is pineapple.

:) The pineapple flavor in the pina colada is fresh and sweet more than sweet and syrupy flavor, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the straight pineapple as more of a food-flavored pineapple than candy flavored. It's a very gentle taste, you don't feel like you're inhaling "flavorings" so much.

In fact, most of the food flavors have come across that way to me - more like a natural food taste than candy.

Now that my tastebuds seem to be adjusting (again - grr) I'll have to re-try the strawberry-twist again later today and see if it holds up the same.

One thing I like a lot about the HM is that it makes other flavors pop - try adding a drop to anything fruit flavored (or vanilla) and see if it punches the other flavors up for you. I have a couple bottles from another vendor (vaporbomb) that are good enough, but they're almost great with one drop of HM to two drops of the other flavor.

This is true from all the stuff I've tried so far. Their sweet stuff isn't "candy" flavored, it tastes more like the real thing than a candied version of it.

Pina Colada is definitely more pineapple than coconut, but the coconut is there and is a nice undertone. I personally don't like coconut, but I love the flavor.

I'm pretty sure the RY4 is 50/50.

I like the Shade, Dark Vapure, Freedomsmoke, and Mellow Sunset. And the Perique and the Latakia. :D Going to get some Hypnotic Mist next time I order.

I'm pretty sure it's 50/50 also...just didn't want to put misinformation out there.

Care to share what those tobacco flavors are like?

i put up a review of the shade today. if you're looking for a good tobacco it should definitely be on the to try list.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-reviews/112756-freedomsmokeusa-tons-flavors.html

as an aside- on their banana cream is it like a natural banana or a candy banana?

I took advantage of their sale and got most of the tobacco flavors I wanted to try, so Shade is on the way among others :)

Natural Banana, nothing I've tried of theirs tastes like candy at all.

Bahnzo have you tried the Forest Fruit again? For me I get a strawberry flavor from it ( just like a big juicy tart tasting one) not really tasting much other than than. Not as much what I was looking for, wanted more a blueberry note one. Doubt that I will order that flavor again but will order from David and Pam again. Loved their RY4 and Hawaiian Tropic.

The flavor I keep getting from the Hypnotic Mist is Fruit Loops. I don't know why, but it tastes just like Fruit Loops to me. I don't really get a tobacco flavor from it so I have been mixing it a little with their Cuban Flavor.

Oh, and their RY4 is so far my favorite juice. I won't touch it right now because the entire bottle would be gone and I wouldn't try the other juices I got from them.

So funny about the HM - my husband says it tastes like cotton candy, which I don't get at all - not even a little bit.
