Not loving the Burley and Candy so far. May need a steep, but the tobacco flavor is not good to me. I just can't get over the hump with that the specific smell and taste. The candy part is mostly non-descript, maybe a bit of pixie stix going on there?, nonetheless..it's the only saving grace for this 'tobacco'. A funky overpowering taste and aroma that reminds me nothing of tobacco. Ug. I had high hopes for this one.

B&C does better with a longer steep. I love tobaccos but prefer a pinch of sweet and this one has a little too much sweet, but I still like it. I thought Candied Cavendish was better but both are good to me.

The one I got that I totally messed up my order somehow was Honey Fig. I love fig, don't care for honey at all but thought I'd try a sample. I accidentally bought a sample size of Candied Cavendish and a bigger bottle of Honey Fig :facepalm:

I have yet to try Honey Fig cuz the smell of the honey is so strong I just can't get myself to try it. Has anyone else tried Honey Fig and if so, does a long steep tone down the honey?

I haven't even slept yet... Having a bad sleep day.. as usual. All attempts to rebuild a dual coiled Protank head have failed. It wicks but tastes like crap... barely any vapor. I may need to stick with the prepackaged heads

I rebuild all of mine. Tried the dual coil once and couldn't get it right so I'm gonna try again soon.

I jumped off the Keurig wagon about a year ago, and broke down and spent the money on a Nespresso.
Yeah, it was $250, and double yeah the Nespresso pods are $.50 each. But, the espresso quality (5 star), and I can make a better latte' than Starbucks now. There are some independent places that still make a mean Latte', but for ease of use, I've been really happy with the Nespresso. So, if you are an Espresso/Latte' type person, I approve of this machine 150%.
I bought one but my wife won't use it...dunno why. So I'm stuck with the expensive stuff...Caribou is awesome BTW

Vaping TPR Iced Gingersnap. It's sort of meh. It has a weird end exhale taste, I can't pin it but it's not a good one. I doctored it up with a little TPR Banana Pudding, which helps. I think this one would be better in the fall and winter..it reminds me of Christmas holiday season, so it's not hitting my 'vspot' (haha, loved that one) for spring. Not a reorder, but vapable.

I think I have narrowed down my #1 favorite juices to Highbrow. I have had the most consistent likes with my orders there, and FOOB. I did enjoy Ahlusion Fijian Nights and Smooth Criminal quite a bit, but the other Ahlusions I got were just OK. I wouldn't reorder the Wildwoods. I'm not a fan of extensive steeping and if that is what it takes to get the WW's to prime, it's just not for me. They get very thick and I didn't notice a great difference in flavor after a few weeks. I got the peach and apple WW's.. they are just average, imo.

Was soo disappointed with Highbrows watermelon Pip. I just knew they could nail it if anyone could. But Peach Thymbra is great! I sent some to a couple friends and they also love that one. Black Cherry Dulcet and Highbrowbacco - tabac de Perique are the next ones to try!

I thought the Watermelon was pretty spot on real.. I go back and forth on vaping watermelon at all tho. I like it with menthol added.

Anyone seeking Throat hit....whew....just tried some 2 week old VCV Vanilla Tobacco and it's got a thump to it. My lungs are a little on the weak side ATM but it sent me into a heck of a coughing fit but it's a really great simple NET, the tobacco is the star. I typically like a sweeter tobacco but there's something about this one that I like. Would be awesome in winter but I'm afraid it will turn into what happened to my White Beard after a long steep it's got this taste to the tobacco I can't get past. This one smelled the same so I was skeered but it doesn't taste like the same tobacco. I emailed VCV a while back before I bought this about their tobaccos and never got a response. So I guess I will find out the hard way

I thought Peachy Criminal was really good

Lav -- if you have never tried Smoothe Criminal that one really rocks! Outside of AVs Gorilla it's about the best. May even be a bit better. I'm still on the fence with that atm. lol
