First off, I'm relatively new to the vaping world. This is my first review, so bear with me if it's not up to snuff.

I vape exclusively with a Riva 510 SE from Liberty-Flights.com

Waffle 12mg/ml, Brewed 3/25/11
This is magical. It's my first Waffle juice experience, and I couldn't be happier. It's not an all day every day vape, but it's so tasty and hits all the right sweet spots.

Flavor: 4.5/5
This juice tastes exactly as it sounds. Like fresh Sunday morning waffles doused in syrup. It has a bit of a maple taste, but that's to be expected. Not overbearing and overly sweet, but too succulent to vape all day. Still - if you haven't had Waffle yet, you should try this immediately.

Vaped on a Cisco 306 2.0ohm, and a 2.0ohm Boge cartomizer. Differences as expected. The carto had an airy sweeter maple flavor and the atty produced a tight hotter smokier flavor. Basic flavor on both though. I prefer the atty on this one for less sweetness.

Vapor Production: 3.5/5

Pretty good. It's not 100% VG, so it doesn't blow clouds - but it's plenty to satisfy most of the vapor hunters out there, especially on the Cisco 306 atty.

Throat Hit: 4/5

A definite 4 on the Cisco atty, and more like a 3.5 on the Boge carto. Plenty for me, I can't deal with the hit of 100% PG or even a 90/10, but this doesn't hit super hard. It's smooth, all around, without being weak though.

Consistency & Color: 5/5

I don't exactly know the PG/VG blend of this, but it isn't 100% of either. I imagine it's somewhere around 50/50. It's pretty much the perfect consistency, not too thick, not too thin. It doesn't gunk up my atty but it doesn't make it leak either, and it's thin enough to drip fill a Boge carto with ease. The color is quite dark, which was surprising to me. I always imagined Waffle juices to be a light brown artificial syrup color, but this is more like actual maple syrup in color.

Overall: 4.5/5

I'll be buying this again for sure. It will probably take me awhile to get through the mere 10ml I have, but only because I like to mix it up so often and I hate seeing a bottle get low. I'll be likely vaping this exclusively on a Cisco 306 atty (with an XL Delrin Drip tip - the regular 306 tip is too short!) as it's so dark and too sweet for a carto, but I won't toss my already filled carto either. I imagine this would mix well with some stronger tobacco flavors, but I haven't tried it.


Thanks for reading my review! Hopefully it's the first of many, and I have several more quality juices I'd like to cover soon. Juice Reviews have been so helpful to me in making some key decisions, and I want to return the favor.

Thanks for the review. I ordered a 30 ml "sample" bottle on 4/6, got it on 4/8 along with some other flavors. I tried it when I received it and wasn't crazy about it so I put it away to steep. You didn't mention how long you steeped yours for, you might want to include that info in your reviews in the future. BWB juices are all 70/30 blend by the way.

Sorry about not mentioning steeping time. As Judge mentioned, I don't think the taste will drastically change with steeping time - as it's a fairly full flavor and not one of his subtle blends. Since writing this review, I haven't been able to stop vaping it though, I absolutely love it.

I basically have a built-in steeping time because I live in Canada, and any shipments generally take 2 to 3 weeks to get here. So it steeps in the mail. :D But some of his other flavors, like Applewood and Cherry Tobacco, and Casablanca, have all gotten better with age regardless of the wait time. I wasn't crazy about the Cherry until about 2 weeks after a got it (order date +1 month).
