So I've read all these posts about freedomsmokeusa and how great they are. I used to smoke Marlboro reds. Quit with the patch, gum, plastic "inhaler", and cancer scare (negative btw). Anyway I bought a "Safe Cig" (RN4081 compatible) and have been smoking Classic 11mg past couple weeks (pre filled). Tastes just like a camel light or even more so a turkish gold. I love the flavor but would like to try more flavors that are similar. I ordered Pure Cig from FSUSA and it is NAAAAASSSSSTY! Tastes like cigarette ASHES not a cigarette at all, just the ash. I also tried French Toast which is a little syrupy but nothing I would rave about. I tried the NewPort and it tastes minty fresh like mouthwash but not tobacco. Is it the flavors I ordered or is FSUSA not all it's cracked up to be??? Oh plus they sent me a FREE trial of blueberry pancake.... THANKS A LOT, IT'S TWICE THE NICOTINE I USE! I ordered everything 12mg and they send me a free 24mg WTF???
FSUSA not that good?

i personaly like most of their juices that ive tried however i have yet to find a cig flavor that tast like a real cig, when i want tobacco flavor i generaly go with 555 or comercial, alot of vendors carry one or the other, sorry that youve had a bad experiance. oh have you let them steep at all, sometimes you need to lewt em steep for a few days or so, have a good day!-)
I just got my first order from there today. I've only tried one of the flavors, but so far I love it.
Taste is different for everyone though. You might find something you totally love that I would think tastes horrible.

In my opinion, you are correct, their flavors are not as good as a number of other places.
But that is just my opinion, and clearly it isn't shared by their fan club.
I haven't tried FSUSA's PureCig because I found out pretty early on that I was not really looking for an analog replacement flavor (used to smoke Parliaments, got V4L's Parliament juice, tastes like ash). I've tried a handful of FSUSA's juices. Some were good, some were not so good, but a couple really stood out for me*. I am now alternating between Wyatt Earp, Rocking Chair, and RY4 as my all-day vape, with Cocoa in my travel PV for the drive to/from work.
As for the samplers, all FSUSA samplers are 24mg. They have a bunch of little 3ml bottles pre-loaded and ready to be tossed into an order as a sampler. Personally, I'm not one to complain about getting free stuff and it was through a sampler that I found their Wyatt Earp flavor so I'm extremely thankful for them. I'm vaping at 18mg now, but I still try the samplers when I get a FSUSA order. If you're ordering flavors to "sample", I'd really recommend getting their 5ml bottles rather than 3ml, as you can customize nic strength, add extra flavor, and change the PG/VG ratio on some juices.
* Everybody's taste is different, and your own individual tastes will change as your taste buds recover from years of analog abuse. For example, the first week of vaping I was using V2's Parliament flavor, but I can't stand it now. Then I switched to V4L's 555 and again I can no longer really stand it. Hopefully WE, RC, and RY4 will last me for a while, but since I'm only 4 weeks analog free as of tomorrow I fully expect my taste buds to keep changing and at some point I will decide I no longer like these flavors.

Taste is subjective and many e-liquids, some of FSUSAs included, need to steep for awhile for the flavor to mature. No matter what supplier you choose, it's unlikely you'll ever find any e-liquid that tastes like a cigarette.
As for the 24mg samples, they're exactly that: samples, pre-filled with 24mg liquid. Too strong for me as well, but it's a good way to get a taste of a flavor I may want to order in a lower nic level. It's the thought that counts, right?
If you ever order from them again, you could always put "no samples" in the comments.
...better yet, put "please give my samples to Scottitude" in the comments.

I use them a lot, but as I do with most vendors, I let the premixes age before use. Taste, as you will hear a lot, is very subjective. Also, it is not uncommon for your tastes to change over a period of time. I use the Purecig for a quick vape and, you are right, it has an ashy taste-- just like they describe it to have. Each vendor is differnet, though many actually have the same sources so it is only the packaging that changes-- though people will swear one is better than another. Flavors can also be very differnt form vendors with some having "better" Virginia but "awful" Cola whereas another will have "great" cola but the Virginia is better left in that state. There is actually only one vendor that I dont care for any of the flavors they have- so I dont use them. But, I know a lot of people who do.
The closest I have found to an analog taste is to extract Camel Mellow Snus or Copenhagen Snuff. But, you must let it age. Makes all the difference in many flavors. Welcome to the forums and good luck on you quest - the ride can be a lot of fun (but you may have to vape a few toads on the way).

I've tried a few of their flavors in the sample pack. The cig flavored juices seemed fair to me, but the fruity type flavors didn't really taste anything like advertised.
#1, flavors are never going to be spot on as we are vaping them (not eating them).
#2, complaining about a FREE sample is just wacked out dude.
#3, you are one of those customers that will not be satisfied period. Anybody who complains when they receive something for free has an alternate agenda (as can be easily surmised from the tone of your post). You could probably try every flavor they have and still have something negative to say about every one of 'em.
Go back to your prefilled carto's and move on.

I really like the safe cig's classic, dont know if you have tried it. It truly has a nice smooth fresh cig flavor with a kind of sweet nutty undertone. Do you have a recomendation for supplier or flavor that i could try?
you do not know me so you only make ignorant accusations. If you wanted a glass of wine before driving home and someone put extra alcohol in it I'm sure you wouldnt be happy either. People like you are exactly the type of consumer a business wants. You follow trend and never question it or form your own opinion. The pre filled cart I get from a different company is great. Are you saying pre filled are better all together? So far it has been better than the 4 I've tried from FSUSA. So no I am not unsatisfied with everything just the 4 flavors from freedom smoke usa.

I'm just going by what you stated. You are complaining about a FREE sample. If you don't like or appreciate something for free, then throw it away or don't use it. But to complain about it is just a bit off in my opinion, especially since its for free.
And if I wanted a glass of wine before driving home (not only would I be driving drunk, not so bright) but I would also be PAYING for it, so yeah, I would complain if it wasn't something I ordered. But the sample they sent along with your order was a FREEBIE.
I never said pre-filled are better, quite the opposite, but it seems like that's all you will be happy with. Some customers, there will be nothing you can do that pleases them, which I assumed after seeing you complain about something you received for free. i've come across customers like that myself and they're not at all worth the hassle to do business with in the first place.

If that was directed at me, I'm hardly in any fan club. And if that kind of trash talk is going to be the "norm" here, I'll soon be gone. I don't have time to deal with 12 year olds.
I don't think it was directed at you, but rather anybody who says they like their flavors. Somehow, those people are in some sort of a 'fan' club in some people's minds.
Do I like all their flavors, heck no, but there are several that are really really good which I vape consistently.

Let me step in before the fists start flying....
I agree that not all the FSUSA flavors are my cup of tea, however the best flavors I have are from FSUSA. You just have to find the right ones. Recommendations are sometimes not what suits your taste buds so I won't recommend any (Hypnotic Mist, Hopscotch).

I know you probably aren't here anymore to read my answer to your question, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
What's up with what, the fan club thing?
Just the truth, that's all.
There are all kinds of fan clubs around here.
I'm even in a couple of them.
