Just got some buttered rum & then some, & vanilla bourbon. Decided after smelling it to go straight to a tank each. This stuff is really good! Even right of the bat. Both very natural tasting & so smooth. It's obvious these a very straight forward, pure ingredients. No having to guess what it may be. When I first smelled the vanilla bourbon it has the distinct fragrance of pure vanilla extract. I know enough about vanilla to say it's not the cheap stuff either. By far the best vanilla e liquid I've found yet. Clouds are.... well huge clouds. Big 'ol plooms.

I'm diffidently going to try more. I've ordered from A LOT of vendors but this is one that could truly be my only vendor. I've got a few juice's that are really good, but haven't found anyone that tasted as pure.

I would love to hear some reviews & descriptions of their other juices... How are the fruits? I really prefer a fruit that actually taste like the fruit vs. candy & perfume. Also, please tell me something about their their menthol.

As far as their fruits go, I'd say they are very pure and taste like the fruit itself. The Orange de Sangre tastes great out of the box, whereas the Blueberry and Black Cherry Dulcet take about 2 weeks to steep, in my experience.

BTW, Bryan of Highbrow is working on a Strawberry. I'm sure he'll make sure it's terrific before it goes on sale on the website.
 
I just received their RY4 & Pure Pear.
The RY4 reminds me of Halo's Smooth which taste like barbershop barbasol.
The Pure Pear taste like the wifes makeup and is to perfumy. The wife likes the perfume taste, but I don't.
They may get better after steeping, but if I don't like them right out of the box, I don't revisit....junk draw they go.
Made on 3/19; vaped on 3/24. Vaped using a VVPV with both a new CE2 flux delux & Boge 3.0 ohm carto.

Hi Wyett,
Glad u are enjoying your Highbrow, I order from them too. I have never had any menthol so I can't help u there, but I do know the dark choc mint is very tasty! :)

If u are looking for authentic fruit, u cannot go wrong with the orange de Sangre, it's so real tasting right from the mailer. If u want more input as far as member reviews, ck out the highbrow thread or email Bryan, both would be very helpful.

Plus Bryan is a very hands on vendor, if u don't like something, contact him, he is always very willing to help or make adjustments so u have something u love. Yes some need steeping, but I have yet to have one that's unvapeable.

Come by the thread, we are a bunch of hat tipping crazies over there! :)

I am obsessed with the bavarian hazelnut cream coffee and the blackberry limoncello(I requested that some vanilla be added to that one)...VERY realistic and tasty. The dark chocolate mint is also very good, but a bit rich. More of an after dinner/dessert vape for me. The creme brulee is OK, but not a favorite(and of course it's the one I ordered a 30ml bottle of lol). I'm going to revisit it after a week of steeping. I've not experienced any sort of perfume/plastic element...they all taste very pure to me. I really appreciate the option to customize without any added cost. I will definitely be ordering more from him.

I had the creme brûlée in my first order too, and I will admit it had to grow on me. I ordered mine with extra flavor and I turned out it just needed some time to steep. I kept coming back to it every few days and eventually it really hooked me. Now it's one I keep on hand at all times, I just make sure it's well aged ;)

I am currently making the rounds through as many highbrow flavors as I can afford! :)

I am in love with the RY4, cappuccino diablo, and he custom made me a sweet lemon tea (which was mentioned to me in another thread). I swear the sweat lemon tea is like I poured a glass of freshly brewed iced tea and mixed in the perfect amount of sugar and freshly squeezed lemon. Not too sweet, not too tart. Just perfect!

I tried a couple - Vanilla Bourbon Bean and Blackberry Limoncello. The Vanilla I liked right out of the box, and it got better and better. Going to be one of my go-to's. The Blackberry Limoncello I just didn't like. I can see how others would, but it's not my thing. Just ordered some more flavors and can't wait to try them. I'm especially anxious to sample Bryan's RY4.

The Peach Thymbra is fantastic. The first time I ordered I got it mixed 18mg, 60/40, with extra flavor. I let all my juices steep at least a few days before trying, so I don't know how good this is right away, but after 4 days in my cupboard (and 3 days shipping) it was like heaven in a bottle. Very natural tasting, clear and nearly colorless, very very carto-friendly.

The Orange de Sangre is also really good and tastes just like fresh orange juice. The Vanilla Bourbon Bean is good too, but it is a dark juice and I know some people like to steer clear of those. I took advantage of the recent sale and my order just arrived today, so after a little steeping I have 7 more flavors to try and I'm sure they'll all be good.
 
I was having one of those days where none of my juices were hitting the spot.
I pulled out 30+ bottles and was just vaping each with a atomizer, nothing was "scratching that itch".
Then....BAM! There it was, I looked at the bottle and it was Highbrow's RY4.
I'm not a big RY4 type, but this juice was really working for me. Steeping changed this juice and I will definitely be ordering more.

I just wanted to recant my previous post and let everyone know that if it's not working for you out of the box, give it some steeping time.

Thanks Highbrowvapor :)

Orange de Sangre was awesome right out of the mailbox, as was the vanilla bean decadence. 2nd order included a big bottle of orange, and small bottles of cappucino diablo and ry4.

The cappucino ROCKS as my first morning vape. I haven't tried the RY4 yet - My tanks are filled now with Orange de Sangre, Cappucino Diablo, Lime Cola from a local shop, and Vermillion's fruit stripe.

I'll be turkey hunting the next 5 days and am anxiously awaiting the HB RY4 after a long day in the field

I ordered two juices from them a couple of weeks ago... Waffle and coconut. I heard many good things about their stuff, so I was hoping I'd love it. Unfortunately, all I got from the waffle on voltages ranging from 3.5 - 4.5 was sweetner.....stevia/sucralose. sooo sweet. didnt even taste the waffle at all. A week and a 1/2 later, same thing. The coconut tasted synthetic to me, didnt taste like coconut. kinda hard to describe, but not very good. I kept it tho, I'm hoping it'll change in taste in a couple more weeks. maybe I'll try butter rum next time and give that one a shot.

A lot of HBV's juices need to steep. I haven't tried either of the flavors you mentioned, but as a general rule I steep everything I get from HBV and they're worth the wait.

I'd recommend the Vanilla Bourbon Bean very highly (although it's very sweet). Also the Heavenly Macaroon, and the Tiramisu is excellent. A caveat: for me, the VBB is much better at low wattages - the flavor comes out better. It's fairly dark and sweet and doesn't behave well at higher wattage.
 
I'm a Highbrow believer as well. My favorite is the Bavarian Hazelnut Cream coffee flavor. I started with a 10ml bottle and when that was gone, I bought a 30ml of it. It's that good!

Eve's Delight is a yummy apple flavor. Orange de Sangre is good, but the flavor is a bit light, so I'm going to let it steep for a spell and see if it's any more potent than it was right out of the box. I also just got the browbacco clove flavor. I don't like it straight out of the box, but per Bryan's recommendation, I'm going to steep it for a few weeks and come back to it. I trust it'll be pretty great after steeping, just as everything else Highbrow makes tends to be.

Also, the customer service is efficient, and Bryan comes off as a very cool guy. He's responsive to your emails, quick to answer questions and give suggestions, and follows your customization requests faithfully. Also, the bottles are nicely wrapped in brown paper, bound in a brown paper ribbon. It's nice that care is put into every package.

Orange De Sangre was jawdroppingly good. Tastes like if you poured a scoop of tang into a glass of fresh orange juice. Its SO flavorful and sweet.

Lemoncello is equally amazing . . . sweet with a slight hint of sour (very slight). Tastes like a lemon sucker or a lemon wedge dipped in sugar. AWESOME.

Vanilla Bean Decadence is really good too, but I think I'm deciding that vanilla flavors have a tendency to bore me a bit. Nothing wrong with this juice (its the best vanilla I've ever tried) but I don't think I'm cut out for vaping a lot of vanilla.
