I do not understand why there is so much hype about this company. Every one of the juices I got from them tastes like splenda. Ive tried 3 so far and been severely disappointed by all 3.

Virus tastes like a sloppy mishmash, like somebody took 6 or 7 Mt Baker juices and squirted them all together in a bottle at random and added a ton of sweet n low. Trash.

Radioactive just tastes like sweetener, so incredibly sweet I couldnt finish a tank.

Im vaping Custards last stand right now and its like jello custard and a mouthful of sweet n low with every pull.

Not holding much hope for the creme brulee. I havent been this angered by juice since MBV.

It really is simple.....taste is very subjective for every vaper. I have tried juices from various vendors that many people swore by, and I didn't like them. It doesn't mean that the vendor or flavor of juice was "trash", it simply meant that the flavor just didn't click with my tastebuds.

Perfect example....my wife and I have both vaped for a few years now. Her ADV for quite a while now is peppermint, and I personally think it is terrible. One of my ADVs is butterscotch, yet she can't stand it.

As far as "hype", all that is are people who really like a particular vendor, or flavor, and are vocal about it. But it still doesn't mean everyone who tries it will like it as much, if at all.

I'm not all jiggy with this "well, taste is subjective" line.

Hey, automobile taste is subjective too but everyone who didn't buy an original Edsel wasn't high either.

I think it's generally understood the NT is a quality juice mixer. That many fans can't be That high.

Me thinking a Crowd Favorite juice isn't for me is one thing, me thinking it's trash, well, I'd say that's more
ME and less the juice or the remaining multitudes.

To me a much better angle than "taste is subjective" is that most of us were smokers and many for a very
long time. Our taste buds are probably fried to at least some degree.

read the descriptions on the website for steeping suggestions!

now that the bottles have been opened, steeping has begun - put them away for a few days and try again!
the only two it recommended to steep were the custard and creme brulee, and in my experience steeping has never turned a 2 to a 10...theyve steeped over 2 weeks, I doubt theyll get much better...but theyll get all the time they need to steep cuz I got some 5 pawns, AiV, Suicide Bunny and ripe vapes on the way!!! I never learn my lesson about only ordering from a new company when I dont have back ups lol

What eliquids do you like? What is your all day vape? Just curious to see what you like and why the Nicoticket disagrees with you so much. I am not a huge 50/50 fan but their blends are tolerable and not headachey to me, never got the splenda taste.

Mostly 5 pawns and AiV. They dont give me a headache, they just taste so incredibly sweet and they all taste the same, really artificial and sloppily done, for the price point its pretty ridiculous. To each his own but I feel like I got TOTALLY ripped off even at half price.

the longer I vape, the larger my selection becomes. OK i get the "subjective"argument too.
I find it absolutely fascinating that many tobacco smokers stay with their brand for years; whilst so many of we vaping change our tastes over the course of weeks, months, days and hours.
It'd be groovy to see some studies on this.
I'd love to use them as "ammo" against the ANTZ screaming the flavors vs. our children b.s.

So Bruce in Ocala- right now- my personal Favs are sweets. A pure coffee flav in the wee morning hours,
followed by interchanging sweet fruits (ex:Guava or Raspberry) throughout the day. Coffee cake or Tiramisu is nice after dinner

What are vaping them in? Goodness, you would have to kill me and pry it from my cold, dead hands to get my Virus. I would put up a good fight over my Radio and CLS, too.

CLS must steep. At 2 months it becomes divine. At 4 months its the song of the Gods. This is also true of Frenilla and Creme Brulee. Although I'm vaping fresh Frenilla right now because dumb me thought I still had an unopened 60ml bottle, but didn't.

I have a few other companies I like, but if Ohio should stop internet sales, I would move to Omaha to get my NT.

/me grabs his crowbar and pistol...oh and mod half filled with the Virus.:lol:

Seriously though Altaire. Give it a little time.. revisit it and come back and let us know if they improve. Since I got the Virus and Wakonda they have had a permanent home in their own tank.

I'm actually astonished to see that you didn't like them! I'm sorry. Mista Kent Brooks puts some serious time into formatting his recipes and the amount of liquid he has dumped down the drain would make any vaper cry.

I agree with everyone else, give all of them some time. NT does use a lot of sweetener and it needs time to blend.

Yeah I currently have GCD, PBC, Strawnilla, Frenilla, The Virus, Wakonda, Betelguese, and the Cure on hand of which half occupy tanks. And I tell ya...GCD is about to find its own permanent home in one of my tanks as well. That stuff is just...:danger:ously delicious!

Kent needs to stop releasing juices...I just cant keep placin' orders every week :blink:.

I had a similar reaction to Nicoticket when I received my first order. Well, maybe not quite as harsh but... anyway, I got CLS, The Virus and Wakonda. The Virus seemed to taste like a somewhat sweet peanut sauce and didn't seem to change much. Wakonda reminded me of coffee mixed with a lot of milk but it wasn't bad per se. CLS I liked but I didn't find it all that creamy like I was used to with custard juices. I let most of that bottle steep for a month or so more and found it much more enjoyable. I ended up giving away The Virus and Wakonda and eventually finished the CLS.

Then I tried Strawnilla and Absolut Creme Brulee and now I'm a believer. I didn't even let them steep. I also got Frenilla which was okay but I decided to let steep more because it didn't wow me like Strawnilla and ACB. I also got The Cure and really enjoy that as well. Really looking forward to the June 11th sale so I can load up on Strawnilla and ACB as well as giving The Virus another chance along with trying a few others like Passioncake, Radioactive and Gravity.

Now, I'm not saying you'll have the same experience but it might be worth at least giving them a second chance.

All y'all that didn't like your Nicoticket...I'll gladly take it off your hands :D
I was actually gonna sell them in the classifieds but everybodys saying let them steep more so Ill just let them sit for a couple months and drip them later. Ive never had bad juices tastes great after steeping though but Ill try.
