Def second @kuritaro9 with v4l's WOW 555. Make sure it is the WOW version. The other version is kinda nasty. Smokeless Image 555 is also identical, so look for whoever has the better sale.

I've moved on from the smokey nuttiness b/c my tongue has changed so much that I find it too sweet now. BWB's 555 - exotic is quite good, but nothing like what you'd expect 555 to be. There standard 555 is a bit too citrus-y for me.

Hi kuritaro9, can I ask when you said smokey, do you mean it's closed to or similar to smoking the 555 real cigarette or you were talking in the vaping area only? I am smoking 555 brand for a long time. The first several flavors I bought were 555. They are all horrible to the point I have to throw them away. If there is anything closed to the real 555, I would love it.
Thanks.

i have been using the WOW 555 from V4l. its pretty great. i messed up and orderd the premium 555 from them. and while its good, its not quite as nutty and smokey as the WOW stuff. so now i have 4 bottles of premium 555 sitting here looking to be mixed or traded..haha

I'm nearing the bottom of a 30 ml. bottle of Whitehorse from ProVape I really love this stuff. Sweet nutty and very smooth. Another good one from ProVape is Kens Tobacco Pro. That one is very potent but in a good way. I just finished 30 ml. of it, actually more like 40 ml. since I diluted it with unflavored e-liquid. The next day after diluting the KTP the flavor had recuperated and it was as robust as ever.
So I tried a 555 for the first time from nextsmoke and it was peanuty and delicious but the juice would go dark after half a tank and taste off. Then I tried MBV 555 and I thought it was horrid. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice peanuty 555 that is of good quality?

by smokey, i mean it has kind of a dry, toasted taste to it. to me, its similar to the japanese lucky strikes i would get on occasion. its kind of hard to explain, but imagine a nice toasted light tobacco coupled with some fresh almonds or some other nuts being stone roasted. the tobacco flavor is there, but it blends so well with the other tastes, that its almost like you dont think of it. that is for the WOW version. the premium version is a little more straight tobbaco'y. slightly more chemical taste i suppose. almost tastes like taking a drag off of an un-lit marlboro red. its not bad, its just not as good as the WOW version IMO. my description probably sounds goofy, but to me, those are the tastes i get out of the 2 V4l 555's i have had. the WOW is fantastic. i did notice though, that i can get away with a much lower nic level on the WOW 555 since its a dryer tasting vape, and the dryness makes a nice TH. plus, as good as it tastes, the lower nic level means i can vape more of it and not get the "terminator eyes"...haha and by terminatoer eyes, i mean the super nic buzz where you hear the servo motors behind ur eyeballs moving ...haha, ok, not literally, butim pretty sure everyone has some type of reaction when they get a real good nic hit, mine happens to be terminator eyes...:blink::D

while i have never had a real 555 analog(not sold in japan), i can only go by others description. people say that there is a definite nutty tone to the tobacco of the real thing and a slight sweetness to the tobacco itself. to me, that describes the WOW 555 taste perfectly, but again, without having tasted the real ones, i can only make an assumption. with that said, the other companies version of 555 i have tasted were just ok. like Iam7 said, almost citrus'y tasteing tobacco, but not much nutty flavor.

Actually liked MBV 555 with a flavor shot! Some people love it, some hate it.

This. It's my (only) all day vape. Their 236mL just came back into stock last night and i was all over the 555. Instead of an extra flavor shot, i moved from 50/50 to 65/35. Plus, i have a bottle of their flavor if i feel the need.

My favs: Frisco, vapor station... torque: halo... bwb and the vapor room....

Here is question for you(specifically): While Torque is most def a 555, would you consider P15 a 555? I like to think of it as a 555 variant, but still more like a 555 than anything else. As much as I love 555e, I almost have a hard time getting any 555-ness from it. That said, irrespective of its 555-ness, I do love that juice. I have never had BWB's standard 555.

I absolutely love MBV's 555. If you still have it around, try it again -- it changes profoundly after about a month of steeping. Seriously.

I just tried the hazel nut one this morning and they've had about a month to steep and I liked it a lot so il give the 555 another go

got some of the smokless image 555, and its damned near identical to the V4l. maybe the V4l stuff is a tad sweeter, hard to tell, but taste is almost exact( to me anyway) and the smell is spot on. thanks for that lil tidbit of info. in case one is cheaper or out of stock, i now have a 2nd place to get it from. im wondering if its the same as the hangsen 555.

just placed an order for some of the BWB stuff. the 555 and exotic were in there. i have found my tastes changing a lil bit recently, an have been looking for a slightly more robust tobacco flavor.
