Krewlife~ I hope you like OurYChai like I do. I am always saying I think it's an unsung hero at GLV..I really enjoy it. I haven't yet tried Kustard but probably will. Considering my #1 favorite juice is nicoticket's Custard's Last Stand though, it has some big shoes to fill. At you and Mia both..if you haven't tried that one yet, you might want to. I don't get much eggy out of it at all. I'm also trying Frenilla from him for the first time and am absolutely in love..it's a richer sweet vanilla.

I didn't like nicotickets custard. I've been hesitant to try the frenilla because of the strong taste i got from the custard. don't mind me though, im super sensitive and picky lol

Mia~ It depends on what flavor note in the CLS you didn't like. If it was the custardy part, then I would say you should for sure give Frenilla a try. So far for me, it's a very sweet creamy vanilla and no other flavors I can detect. It is for sure not a weak flavor, and if you aren't into really sweet vapes you won't like it I don't think.

Sharon~ Your weather sounds about like mine these days, although we have had a minor heat wave..I think it got up to 40 today which was great because some of the two week old ice on the parking lots melted off. I have so many patients where I work that have broken hips due to falling on the ice right now! I had a nicoticket order in the other night and it wasn't frozen but it was pretty close. I think it was like 3 degrees above that night. I don't know if that affects juice or not. But I also feel your pain with all these new flavors being talked about. I haven't gone and gotten a prepaid card and my debit card is cancelled thanks to the recent card fraud going around. Sigh. Like I need more juice anyway.

Ambien~ I get cinnamon roll but I've never gotten rice crispy treat. I don't like most cinnamon roll vapes actually, though I did when I first quit smoking. Now that my airways have healed up a bit, the bakery cinnamon is really irritating if it's too strong and sometimes even makes me sneeze. DS is like the gooey, brown sugary, buttery bottom of a sweet roll to me..not overly heavy on the bakery cinnamon. It's on my constant reorder list :) Glad to hear you like it too!

I agree with the gooey, brown sugary, buttery bottom of a sweet roll description. That is what I mostly get. The rice crispy treat is only there for a second as an after taste for me.

I asked Clark once what the differences were in all the vanilla offerings.. (at that time, there were 4!) and he said the frenilla only uses a little bit of his homebrewed vanilla steep, which is the main flavor in CLS and Creme Brulee. So.. frenilla *might* be totally different tasting.. I wouldn't know tho, cuz I've never had it.

Just a thought about the harshness reports on the new juices.. are you guys maybe getting dry hits? I remember when I first tried Velvet Cloud over the summer.. they were 100% VG and soooper thick.. they were not wicking properly at all, until I added a bit of water. Could that maybe be what's happening? It's weird for 100% VG to have a harsh throat hit.

I vape a bit and then decide from there. Most are pretty much good to go right away, and the only one I've found so far that really really needs some time is Bangkok. For Deadly Sin and El Kamino, my faves..they are good right away but tend to morph and change a bit as they age. I wouldn't say I like either one only steeped..they just get a bit richer and some notes come out more with time? Does any of this make any sense at all? :D

That's really interesting to know. So far, I think the Frenilla is the richest of the bunch as far as sweet/vanilla goes. Maybe it's because it's more straight vanilla without other flavor notes? I dunno. Out of his vanillas, Crème brulee is my least favorite, though it's not bad either. Maybe that's why I'm digging the Frenilla so much. Might have to pick his brains.

Aw Firephly, that sucks. I just went through my version of it last week. I can taste..something..but everything tastes bitter/chemical/gross. It typically lasts 3-5 days for me and I hate it..has happened 3 times now in my 7 months of vaping. I've tried just about every remedy imaginable (with the distinct exception of one I saw on reddit that involved sucking on a clean tampon..for real) and nothing works but time. Not gallons of water, not pickles, not even rinsing my mouth with vodka (that was an interesting experience).

Hope your yucktongue passes quickly!

High Five came in the mail today! I'm not sure how far along it is steeping wise. I get a pretty similar tobacco note to El Kamino, but instead of the graham cracker/banana that a lot of people get, I get the vanilla first and foremost. It's not an overly strong vanilla though. It really blends very, very well with the tobacco flavor. As of yet, I'm not sure I get a lot of the oak barrel or bourbon though.

Overall, if you like El Kamino, I don't see how you couldn't like this one. It's similar and yet very different. I kind of view El Kamino as being the chocolate version and High Five being the vanilla version. I am very much enjoying it and even unsteeeped as mine most likely is, its a definite recommendation. I think you'll really enjoy this one. I'm not disappointed at all so far. I see a 50ml bottle in my future.

i vaped about 1.5 ml's of it... it's the first high vg juice i've put in my reo, but i could definitely tell there was juice getting to the wick.

omg. now im going to have to buy it.
I dont think i'd like a creme brulee due to the caramel like taste and egginess associated with them.


so back to GLV. I'm STILL vaping 5+ml's of yoplay a day. I've never come this close to an adv ( of course i'm vaping like 6 ml's of other juices during the day too), but always go back to yoplay!

Ugh, I just ordered CLS, CB and other NicoTickets and they should be here today. I've never vaped a custard flavor but do love to eat custard. I hope it isn't too eggy or weird.

Almost ordered it but wondered if a flavor of just plain, strong vanilla would be too boring. I LOVE vanilla but I find that most vendors either go too strong with it or it tastes fake/odd but I wish now I added that to my order.

I love ElKamino FOOB and finding I love it more and more. Def an ADV for me. I was going to try High Five but the bourbon description threw me off. I hate bourbon but love vanilla. Are you getting a strong bourbon taste?




Also, anyone who has tried GLVs key lime pie, is the lime over powering? I have AHLs lime cream and I can't take the super strong lime. I can't even get the taste to flush out of my brand new Stingray dripping atty! I love strong flavors but wow, this one is over board.

People Love them Angi. Rave reviews constantly. I think custard/caramel flavors just aren't my thing. They give me this strange taste. So far GLV's is light, and more like a creaminess. I liked the aftertaste of it though.

GLV's key lime is a tad different than ahlusions. I like ahlusions but it is VERY limey. Lol yeah I can't get it out of things either. I actually cut a lot of my ahlusions with unflavored base to make it more palatable to me. GLV's lime is a bit smoother, but in the juice you definitely get a graham cracker taste. I don't typically like bakery juices, but key lime is nice mix of lime, graham cracker crust, and creamy pie. Probably as true to the actual food as can get :)

Ok thx! I will def order Key lime in the next order because for some reason, I'm becoming addicted to bakery juices. But I crave that layered, complex type where you can taste all the elements and get a slight TH. It's hard to find! Five Pawns Grandmaster is very complex and good but I get zero TH on 12 mg.

BTW, that dog in ur avatar is the cutest little thing ever! What breed is it????????

I think glv's key lime is more complex than ahlusions lime cream, just because there is that added bakery accent.
LOL thanks. I have no idea whats with the strange face he was making. He's a pomeranian.

LoL, I love the reddit ecig forum, people on reddit crack me up. It's starting to go away now that I got some sleep and am drinking more water. I have a hard time drinking enough water when it isn't summer time. I have really gotten dehydrated some times from vaping and I notice that if I drink a lot of water the flavor comes back.

The High Five is awesome so far! My taste buds haven't fully come back yet but so far this is the only tobacco I've tried that really is good! It doesn't have that gross buttery flavor that I get from some tobacco's. And the vanilla and Bourbon and oak are great in this, and I hate to drink bourbon!

The Kustard is nice too, but I think that custards in general are just a bit over-rated. What I don't get is people saying they don't like eggyness in custard, i mean eggs are what differentiates a custard from a vanilla pudding isn't it? You can't make custard without eggs, without eggs it's just vanilla.

maybe that's what im looking for in a custard, a vanilla pudding. they don't really exist :/ im just seeking that creamy vanilla that doesn't exist :/

maybe like the taste of frozen custard!
