Received a sampler when I got home of Reign Drops e liquid-pleasantly surprised with these. Usually, the first thing is-
Do I like the base" then whats the flavor like. With these I really like the base still trying to sort out the flavors. The flavors are good but not at all like the descriptions. For example, the "Empress" description states: Savory French Pastry when to me, this almost tastes like Peoples vape Bubble tea flavor. I really like the flavor but get absolutely zero pasty out of it. And the "Festival" description: Sweet Toasted French Bread Hmmm I get the sweet and maybe a slight hint of maple syrup but don't see French toast here. I would probably describe it as ...ok maybe the closest thing to describe it WOULD be French toast Hmmmmm very nice base flavor. I will be interested in finding out if they add sweetener. I don't get the bad after taste like most e liquids that contain the added sweeteners but the e liquids are pretty sweet. Has anyone else tried this vendor?

I was going to hold off doing a review until I was sure my taste buds are not acting up. I am not crazy about it. Has a sort of chemical taste to it (soapy maybe) that I am not digging. I will wait until tomorrow when I am rested and hydrated to tell you for sure. Might end up on the classy's

not what you were expecting in what way?

pretty quiet in here

So my first DIY experiment, i loaded up a tank of FSV's shipwreck (the coconut one) and added a little of my flavourart lime Tahiti, it's a great lime flavor!
The other flavors i got are: oakwood, peppermint, grapefruit, and cardamom. I also got some capella-blueberry cinnamon crumble.

I need more flavorings, i have to figure out exactly what though. man, i'm starting to wonder why i ever bought ready mixed juice. I think that a lot of stuff could be just as easily made myself. I think there's others that I'd still have to buy though...

now i can take all this stuff that isn't flavorful enough and make it good, woohoo!

God, i should have done this long ago

I thought about trying it but I'm not sure I'm a good enough cook to take a chance.

Bored were we? lol

No, bright star, just clearing the decks for action. And now it's just frustration. Do you guys still use the Pony Express to move small parcels between States? It usually takes no more than 4 days to get a parcel from LA to my doorstep in the land of Oz and that includes passing through our Customs. How can it take 6 days or more to get from Florida to California? Yawn ...

added a drop of peppermint to my coconut/lime mix, pretty awesome!

ok, i'm gonna figure out exactly what i want to make and gather ingredients.... :)

good luck. i haven't had great success. i'm still sticking with it, since i invested a decent amount of money in it. but i'm just not creating juices that are like the ones i buy. i try to keep one reo full of my own diy each day though.

"Where did everyone go"
It's hot as hell here and I live in the attic. It's been a rather bleh day. Not bad... Just bleh. I hate hot weather and being up here makes the heat even worse. Not to mention there's poor air circulation up here. I guess it may finally be time to put the screens back down in my window. (it's hard to know here with our weather)
"DIY"
I actually tried DIY a long time ago. Never had much luck with it. It's very tedious. I don't know if making no nicotine makes it harder or if I'm just picky or what. The only person that ever enjoyed my juices was my grandma and it seems that she likes pretty much everything. It's a shame that I wasn't better at it as it would be cheap as heck for me to do. Maybe now that my dad has said that he wants to try vaping again, it'll rekindle that DIY fire. It's kinda lame just making juice for myself.
If you want to try any flavors, let me know. I have a ton of flavors sitting here.

Anyone around who can give me advice on buying batteries? I need 18350 (flat top if possible) and 18650 for my mechs. I can't find a reputable place that has them in stock. I'd prefer a place where I can also get battery boxes. Thanks

No luck at RTD? (I think that's the initials...I need sleep)
