I should be getting some Gamel from AVE tomorrow, according to usps.com. Is it a good flavor? Are there any Gamel vapers out there that can help me out and let me know what to expect? I was curious about it since the first pack of smokes I bought were Camel Wides. Being young (and dumb) I thought, "I get more per cigarette, since they're wider, for the same price. Heck ya!" Lol!

lol, that was my reasoning for buying the Wides for a while, too. I was a die-hard Camel smoker for most of my 15 years smoking, so I tried the Gamel a while back. The flavor on it I found to be very mellow, definitely not an in-your-face-tastebud-assaulting kinda juice, but the taste was reminiscent of the butts I remembered and the TH was pretty decent.

Yup, we were all young and dumb at some point. Lol. Some just choose to stay...dumb. Haha. Taste was reminiscent of the butts?? That doesn't sound too good. Could u explain further, please? Would u consider it an ADV? Thanks for the reply, btw.

For me it would not be an ADV, but taste is subjective and all that ;-) It was definitely worth trying and I pretty much vaped the whole 15ml I'd ordered for a whole weekend with nothing else in between (just loaded up my UFS with an LR Joye atty and kept refilling until it was gone) so when I say it's not an ADV for me I don't mean that as a bad thing, I can and did vape it all day, just not all day every day. I did like it and will likely order some again at some point, sometimes I just crave a dry "tobacco" juice and this one fits the bill very well

As for the taste, it's hard to explain. It had that distinctly "Camel" taste, but not like a burning cig, just a subtle suggestion of the flavors present in a regular Camel cigarette. The same flavor qualities, in fact, that made me prefer that brand back when I smoked, if that makes any more sense

BTW I love the avatar. I wasted countless hours of my childhood with the early Megaman games :)

Sounds good. Thanks Killjoy. I received it today and will load it up within the next couple days. Been vaping the crap out of my GJ.

Thanks! Mega Man is the shiznit. I played it MANY, MANY times while growing up. I actually bought, I believe, Mega Man X for my Nintendo Wii a couple yrs ago cuz I like it so much in the past. My name came from Ice Cube. If you listened to any of his music, you would definitely have heard him call himself The Don Mega. So, I figured my name had Mega in it and I love Mega Man, why not make that my avatar. Thanks for noticing :) I'll let you know what I think about the Gamel once I tried it. Should be very soon. Take care!

Man....we mussnt be that far apart generational wise.

Camel wides early on, numerous wasted hours on megaman for the NES, and Cube.

Ahhhhh how I missed those years.....

Grew up in central PA to boot.

The gamel is ok i think, im kinda thinking Mr Mann is right with what he says about this stuff from the sample i hit up yesterday. Not an adv but pure tobacco for a switch up.

I also got a sample of C&D which i sucked down half the bottle already. Im gonna re-order some more of that. Has a nice tobacco and sweetness (honey?).

Wasn't really fond of the blend 4 or Bees Knees. Im kinda hoping bees knees was messed up because there is nothing sweet about it at all, was hoping for some of the honey. Almost makes me wonder if C&D and Bees Knees were mislabled and actually are reversed.

Crap... I ordered some hype, BB, GJ and Gamel a few weeks back and Gamel is my favorite. Simply because it seems lighter on the tobacco flavor to me w/ an underlying honey taste. I like the honey flavor so I ordered several new flavors to try out. Bees Knees being one. 555, blend 4, flue cured and a few others. I really like the tobacco flavors but the first time I ordered.I ordered 18mg. I went down a little on the next order. I will try C & D soon enough and maybe Havana Gold.
I am hoping with a little more steep time that the tobacco will start to mellow out a bit in my first order. But I believe I was able to order a wide variety of flavors. So I will give them a whirl. I prefer smooth tobacco flavors. And Gamel has been satisfying for me.

Ya... Just went and took a few more pulls of Gamel and I'm definitely getting a nice tobacco flavor with a little honey taste but not real sweet though. If at all. It's been a few months since I smoked a real cigarette but this is the closest flavor I have found that does it for me. 18mg, good amount of vapor and the throat hit is there in spades.

Im gonna hit up some gamel later tonight once i clean up my drippers. It wasn't bad at all when i sampled the other day but i was in a rush to get to the club for a reunion party:). Seemed close to the underlying tobacco in BB.

Let me know how your bees knees tastes. I had high hopes for that one. Maybe like you said, time will mellow out the bacco. Fingers crossed. I bought a 30 of that because i figured "you cant go wrong with tobacco and honey" .... oh well.

If you ever had CC's Truly TB, i think C&D is pretty similar base but with honey\sweetner. For some reason these two tobacco's make me think of rice krispys when i taste. ??

I sure will. Should be here Monday, I think. Ordered Bees Knees, Dream Berries, Root Beer, Irish Cream, Banana Slurry, Watermelon Overload, 555, Blend4 and Flue Cured.

Hype has a really good peach flavor and I'm starting to make out more of the banana flavor in Gorilla juice now. To me, BB and GJ have a strong tobacco flavor in them. I like the flavor, just a little strong for me. Same as Gamel but Gamel doesn't seem as strong to me. They are all starting to mellow out a bit now for my liking though.

I bought a brand new 510 atty for each of them and dedicate them for each individual flavor. Will be doing the same with this next order.

Im soooo hooked on the Rootbeer:drool: I was blowin clouds at the club the other night and people were looking at me funny... WT F is that?

Guess ill have to try the hype on next order too since that seems to get rave reviews. When i found a description before it didn't seem to appealing to me....but may just have to sample it any ways :)

Hype is pretty much peach schnapps with a honey dew or some kind of melon taste to it. Mostly peach though. It's good but if you like the darker richer vapes you may not love it.

ah yea, it was the peach schnapps that turned me off. I like peach.....just not the schnapps :0

Can you taste "alcohol" in it? I cant stand alcohol anymore, i think i drank too much when younger :)

I have a few un-named 'premium' vendor's juices that i cant even stand to open the bottle let alone vape em. They are supposed to be top-notch.....lets just say the 1 person who wrote a review on their about window cleaner wasn't far off.

I can't taste any of the alcohol taste but it does have a slight fizzy feel to it. I've had some juices too that had way too much alcohol taste and I can't stand it either. But hype just has the smell of schnapps but not really the alcohol taste

It's been about 7 years since I've had a drop of alcohol. And I don't get any alcohol taste with Hype. I get a nice smooth peach flavor. I really enjoy it. I see your point about the schnapps though but it's been awhile for me.

That's awesome, man!!! I REALLY want to try C&D. Willing to trade other AVE juices, sorry if this is the wrong spot, but figured I'd throw it in there. I want that HONEY taste SOOOOO BADLY! That's one of the reasons I started to like Boba's (and GJ).

I grew up in NE Ohio, but now am NW PA. Weird getting used to the western and eastern part of PA. I'm used to saying NE, but NE PA is VERY far from me.

We're probably the same age, if not a couple yrs apart. 80's baby! haha!!! We had some great stuff growing up. Not a PS3, or 4, but man, kids today are too damn lazy! They'd rather watch TV all darn day than go out, get a group of friends, and just play and have fun. Travesty, man! It really, really is!! Boils my blood when I see a 13 y/o not move from sitting in front of a TV. The only time I was watching TV, at that age, was for sports, playing video games WITH FRIENDS, and going to bed. Other than that, I was outside and having a BLAST!

just got some Gamel today. nothing special

after 4 decades of smoking cigs at 2-3 PAD, i now realize that cigarettes actually had no taste, other than the smell or taste of that very first cig after a month or two of quitting. that first one smelled and tasted like something from heaven. but after that it was just sucking crap to keep the cravings away.

i think we tend to romanticize cigarette flavor, based on that one elusive smell or taste that we rarely actually experienced. YMMV...

Gamel was about like my third pack of any given day
