Complexity in all my bottles is key, which is what I demand from a vendors ejuice!

I've tried virtually all the tobacco based liquids from them. However, I took a flyer on OurYChai and just believe it's their best! Crazy complex. Never thought tobacco and chai tea could work, but as a vape, it does!

Oh hate to say it but I have probably 8mls left of OurYChai and I can't even stand the smell! Maybe I've had it too long IDK! GLV was a fav of mine and still is. I just loaded one of my iclear's with Breathless Mahoney and I'm like uck...it's just a weak flavor I guess. The one's that are good are good and the one's I don't like -- I really don't like!

i do know something about the aspire heads. if they taste burnt from the new state they are bum attys,, i hear there is a lot of these floating around. I had one of mine do that and replaced it and all is good. They are good when they work.. Probably the build on them done so fast and not much qc.. you could probably salvage them if you wanted to tear them apart and see what was going on.

I may just try to rebuild them. I put High Five in one and it was just too heavy for the Aspire. I think they work best with a higher PG% juice.

Just got some of the new juices. Im liking High Five. Its not a replacement for Castle Long, but its quite good. Definitely good enough to keep around, and since Im just about out of Castle Long, this is a solid substitute.

Also go Kustard and Southern Shine.. yet to try them. Grabbed another bottle of Deadly Sin, of course. I havent had fresh mixed DS in a while.. its much more cinamon bun when its fresh. 2month old DS is much more sweet bread/buttery. Both are epic.

I bought a sample pack from them a while back and tried them yesterday after letting them steep about a week and a half. Out of the 4 juices I got I will buy all again as though different each was excellent. I got 10ml of each with 0 nicotine, Melon Boba, Spook Sause, Tahitian Pearl, Deadly Sin.

I wish I had given El Kamino another taste before I placed my order yesterday! I should have ordered a 30ml of that one too. I wasn't so sure I'd like it enough to reorder. When it arrived in the mail, but it's developed into a nice, clean, complex taste. Definitely tobacco, like a cigar tobacco. Smooth. Hints of chocolate and cinnamon? I added a few drops of Nana's Nuts and it's wonderful.

Maybe I can edit my last order real quick....

ETA: Unable to edit my order. I hope I like another one of samples I ordered to warrant another large bottle.

I gotta be honest regarding DS. On my first order with GL, I got the sample pack, steeped for a week or so and the only one which really stood out of those four was DS. It was really tasty. Wife loved it, the whole shebang. So, a few weeks ago, ordered a 30 ml of DS and let it steep for just about two weeks. Now, don't get me wrong, it was still pretty decent, just didn't have that "WOW!" factor like we experienced with that first sample bottle. This is one of the reasons I'm shying away from made-to-order companies. I like consistency in my life. I want the first experience I had with a vendor that I spend my hard earned money with to be just like all the rest. I don't want to worry about lazy employees who didn't properly formulate the fill.

How long, on average, do you guys let DS steep..caps off?

I just bought some new juices today too. Absolutely loved Nana's Nuts from my last sample order so ordered a 30ml. Plus another 10ml sample pack: Plain Jane, Corrosion, Southern Shine, and Lucky 7, and a single 10ml bottle of Blueberry Morning.

Let the Corrosion steep AWHILE -- I've actually had my bottle for a good 6 months. It actually has a bit of a creaminess the longer you have it. I just filled an iclear 16 with it yesterday for the first time in months. Great TH and I get the creamy after thought. I remember when I first got it thinking wow CITRUS explosion!

I haven't tried any of the others you mentioned...I actually haven't ordered from GLV in months I've been trying out other vendors. I actually got sick of GLV - they were all I ordered for a LONG time but I'm thinking of going back.

On the note of Deadly Sin - my 1st order ever I ordered this and was blown away! 2nd order I ordered 30mls and same here. It just wasn't the same. I'm not sure if it was because I had grown away from carto's or because the mix wasn't the same but it just didn't taste as good. Still good but not OMG good. But a definite choice in my next order!

Thanks for the tip! I am still steeping DS and Bangkok Dangerous. It's been about 1 week for DS and 3 weeks at least for BD. They taste ok, but not yet carto/tank worthy at this point! Magic Fairy is my absolute favorite. I should get it next time with 0 nic because I can and want to vape it all day.

Sorry about your bad experience, I'm a deadly sin supporter and Sucralose suspect. If i'm understanding you correctly you are using an RDA for it, and if you are it's my experience that it is god awful in an RDA all of the flavor is lost. It's only good for me in a carto and it really opens up to the full flavor, I used it exclusively for months but as I got into rebuildables I use it less and less as I don't use carto's as much anymore. Give that a shot and see if it opens up for you. I also don't get much of a change in steeping but GLV says a week.
Update. Yes. I generally is a RDA. I want to get a Russian 91 or an Aqua. But I can't do clearos. I have a MVP protank setup. But I'm a flavor junkie. So....I just drip. I vape on .3 ohm nano coils, cotton wick. After 2 weeks of steeping, the bad aftertaste and waxy mouth went away. I actually gave the juice away. Before I did I put about 5 ml in a bottle and was sorry I gave it away. I was wrong and jumped the gun. This is good stuff. You just gotta let it steep. I will order more. Like they say, never say never.

I love this Newminster No. 23! I've vaped through almost all of my sample bottle already in a few days, "Blackberry and a subtle Brandy infused with a delicious tobacco" I don't get much brandy but the blackberry and a pretty robust tobacco is just really hitting the spot!

The Orange Blossom is great too, such smooth full vapor and nice slightly tart orange with some bakery and vanilla

Thanks for the info! Newminster is one I wanted to try but was leery on the brandy description. I love a blackberry taste so will be trying this next.

Have been ordering glv for about a year now...

Conclusion - hands down the best eliquid vendor out there in my opinion. I've ordered about 15 different juices...only to dislike two (deadly sin and cozmic crunch)

There is nothing better than to have a consistent and predictable result with regards to eliquid. Takes the guess work out and just leads to happy vaping :)

I know you like el kamino so you'd probably like newminster i bet, it's kinda like el kamino only with blackberry instead of chocolate. I don't notice the brandy even. The high five has a more brandy flavor than newminster i'd say.
The English bulldog is pretty good too-more like a if you took el kamino and didn't add any other flavor to the tobacco.

That sounds so good and thanks! Newminster sounds like it will be right up my alley for sure!
