I wonder why GCD is so good. Since I have SB's Derailed - banana cinnamon (all I taste is cinnamon bakery type on that juice, but it's okay), I'm afraid that GCD is the same, all pure cinnamon. Anyone would love to describe the flavor?

GCD is magic in a bottle. We have cinnamon rolls called Cinnabon around here. It tastes like one. You get the cinnamon,bakery crust,icing. It's one I really hate to run low on. Love to vape it when I am drinking coffee. It's always in the top of my rotation. I love it fresh with the cinnamon forward. If you let it steep the cinnamon balances a little more with the other flavors. It's also good with a little CB,CLS,Frenilla,or cheesecake to make the flavors pop in different ways. It is always high in my rotation. I have another order coming to me right now with Wakonda and another 120mls of GCD.

It's arrived... 1 Betlegeuse and 1 got cookie, 15ml, 6 nic.... Cleaning my lemo, remove excess of Anna & Jane butterscotch... Making new coil at 0.7 ohm... Putting in Japanese cotton...

First try is the Betlegeuse cause I think it is fruity vape and fruity tends require no steeping.

Both bottle got strong aroma.

Breaking in at the moment but the Betlegeuse doesn't really shine in taste department on this first process... I got voodoovape which is a mix tropical fruit liquid that far better on the breaking in process as you can get full taste right away.

Vapor is a bit on the weak side... Need to check what is the vg pg ratio on this one. Will continue vaping in until I got something... At this point it is bland.

Oh and I am using 20 watts for the 0.7 ohm on a smok xpro m50 upgraded 65 watt

 

[SpaceCase]

that's unusual....

 

[Phassat]

So, spent chain vape the betelgeuse for let say 1-2ml.... Still quite bland compared to other fruity juices that I've tried. I can feel sourly type of fruits mostly on the exhale but it was rather muted in my opinion.

 

[SpaceCase]

Really odd, since betelguise is on of the ones I get tons of flavor from.
Hmm, lemme think.
Pictures of your coils?

 

[liwintjoa]

Win, that's probably the case... Have you steep the sb? I haven't tried sb but I have tried forbidden creme, baby kiss.. It was good but I can't describe the flavor... It is similar to sb sucker punch.

SB is on the steep process. Will try it on Monday. I hope your Betelgeuse do get better, maybe your coils or what, but regarding the hype, it's weird that it didn't taste as good as everyone's thought.

 

[Phassat]

Ya... The 3ml almost finished from last night... I will open the take photos of the coil.
This morning no different... Only hint of flavor that I got from this. TH also was not as good as other US liquid such as forbidden creme. Lots of popping out too at most wattage... Maybe wicking not enough

 

[Phassat]

Okay, here is the photos of the opening of the current build... I will rewick since I am going to change it with got cookie?

Just to show the current resistance

Filled with got cookie?

Material list that I've used:
- Japanese organic cotton
- khantal c wire 24awg
- 3mm coil with 9 wraps

If anyone can spot if I made a mistake, please let me know and will highly appreciate it.

So, how about got cookie? Throat hit was good... Vapor is better than betelgeuse and I can see it is thicker... Maybe more vg %. Taste? Quite bland to me.. I can feel some chocolate mostly on exhale but it wasn't as vivid as other US or Malaysian liquid. This is may need to break in first since it is a new wick but normally with other liquid it is good since the start

Not familiar with your particular tank, but I have an Erlkonigin and previously a svoemesto kayfun lite plus V2. With both of my tank systems I used KGD and similar ohms to what your meter was reading and preferred the flavor around 9 to 9.3 watts on 28 gauge at 2-2.5 mm coil. I assume you are starting low and working up to find the sweet spot on your juices. Usually if I was in the 20-30 watt range it was on RDAs as opposed to RTAs. Just an added thought is that a fresh coil you are using?

So, spent chain vape the betelgeuse for let say 1-2ml.... Still quite bland compared to other fruity juices that I've tried. I can feel sourly type of fruits mostly on the exhale but it was rather muted in my opinion.

Never thought of it as bland. Hope it was tampered with or watered down PG/VG or in some way before you got it. I got plenty of flavor with mine. Don't know if you can order direct from Nicoticket. That being said not my favorite flavor. Hope you try some Wakonda,GCD,strawnilla before making a final judgment on Nicoticket or you will really be selling yourself short on some amazing juice.

Hi Newport, thanks for the comment. The coil was built yesterday for betelgeuse but it was horrible vape. I didn't rebuild the coil, just put new wick on it.

I will try your suggestion though... Will start at 9 watt and up. On lemo sometimes I made 0.6 ohm and vape at 30 watts.

Just for an update, the taste start to come out. It isn't my fave but I have never tried chocolate flavor anyway. It isn't a creamy vape but I guess it has natural taste. Most flavor came on exhale

 

[Phassat]

Also I will still give NT another chance... I am thinking CLS and Virus. Although GCD, ACB, Wakonda seems interesting. I have never had good experience with strawberry flavor... Mostly so so and the best I had so far probably Otai Lejen

Phassat, your build looks good. The juice may just need some time? One question...how hot is it there and was your parcel left in it for any length of time?

A US person here got nothing for flavor from their juices from Nicoticket and brought it up here and through trying to figure it all out he admitted he had put them for an extended time in an ultrasonic cleaner with temperatures around 100 degrees F, heat kills flavor.

That being said we are still getting used to the glass bottles and it may need some time longer for steeping than we are used to with plastic bottles. Maybe set it aside and try it in a week or two to see if it has changed? Give it a shake every couple of days and open and close the top. Then again it is all personal taste, Nicoticket may not suit people used to other liquids. Regardless, happy to hear your impressions, an honest review is worth a lot more than a fake review!

Hi megan, thank you for your comment.

The package was arrived sometimes in the afternoon when I was out of town. At current season, temp should be around 28-30 Celsius. I arrived at 10pm and doing the trial straight away. It was already in my bedroom at 25 Celsius when I was arrived.

I was afraid that I am doing injustice to the liquid so I have set up my rda using new coil 1ohm and new wick and also doing side to side comparison to my favorite fruity liquid.
Sorry the result still night and day. The voodoovape gave me strong and intense flavor which is much different to the betelgeuse.

I will do your suggestion though to keep it in closed drawer for couple of weeks and see how it goes. Got cookie is much better though... Will not be my favorite test but now it is a good taste nevertheless.

I haven't give up on NT considering there are so many people likes it. Will try other flavor one more time before gave up on it.

This was similar situation with yaeliq... Many people recommend them but even after 50ml trying to like it, I can't... Too bland for me...

Best cream type to me still goes to forbidden creme babykiss... Made somewhere in the US but I don't think it is a well known brand.

 

[Phassat]

28 Celsius equal to 82 Fahrenheit
30 Celsius equal to 86

Thank you for giving it a good try even with poor results so far. Again, it may just not be to your liking. Regardless we are happy you are here!

Is it true that nic liquid taste slightly reduced compared to non nic one? I didn't felt it with voodoovape shown above but with the creamy type liquid I notice that the non nic one slightly have more intense taste... I am trying to think that the nic in the NT has not settled down so it need some time to reach it full potential
