Loving this juice so far. Can't wait to put it in a tank. So far I've just had it on my dripper.

Steep time: about 6 hours
Atty: Nimbus V5 clone at 0.14 ohms
Mod: Nemesis clone
Nic level: NZ

Fresh apple takes the forefront, with a nice creamy cinnamon background. This is great since most apple pie liquids have the cinnamon in the forefront. Not quite getting crust, I'll have to tweak with the wattage once I get it in a tank on my MVP. All in all a very well rounded and tasty juice.

Steep time: 2 days

Nic Level: NZMVG

Tank/Atomizer: KP Long Barrel 2ohm

Mod: (mechanical, VV): MVP2 8.5 Watts

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: I taste fresh juicy apple. She tastes more cinnamon and crust. I dig it. Tried adding in some Frenilla 18mg and I did get a little more crust. I mixed together 30ml Band Camp NZMVG with 15ml of Frenilla 18mg then put it to sleep in the drawer.

Steep time: 2 days

Nic Level: 12mg

Tank/Atomizer: Aspire Vivi Nova BDC

Mod: (mechanical, VV): MVP2 8.0 Watts

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Apple pie filling all the way. You can definitely taste the fresh apple. This stuff is amazing, it taste just like real apples, no candy apple taste at all. And the cinnamon is there and balances perfectly to give you a true apple pie flavor. The crust seems to peek out every one in a while, but then disappears again. Hopefully with a little steeping it will emerge a little more. Another winner with this one. Awesome job NT!! :thumbs:

So I feel kinda guilty... but honestly I don't think the Band Camp is for me. It reminds me of another apple pie juice I bought (supposedly very spot on apple pie) that has been sitting in my drawer for months and months, and will never be vaped (I don't like naming names, but it's Slevin from Carpe Diem Vapor, lol). I was also entirely underwhelmed with Gambit, although I love real apple pie... maybe my taste buds are slowly breaking :confused:. There are parts that I REALLY like about Band camp like the fresh apple flavor, don't get me wrong. But I don't think this one's gonna be vapeable for me either :/ If anyone wants ~30ml of 6mg for trade or something PM me :) No disrespect to Nicoticket! I will continue to order and vape pretty much ONLY Nicoticket juice, however this one doesn't do it for me.

Vape On!

Different strokes my friend - can't win em all!

I am so bummed out at this point. My package was due to be delivered today, having hit my post office at 5 a.m. this morning. When I checked to see if it had been delivered, it had a big orange notice that it was undeliverable due to address!!?? The postal Service in its infinite wisdon is now sending it back! I can't believe it. I e-mailed NT to let them know, and I know I will eventually get it but what a let down. I was so ready to try this today. Now who knows when it will get here, hopefully it wont go missing going back and forth. No pie for me. :(

Liked because I read it, dislike dislike dislike. ARGH!

Band Camp came today! 18mg - I put in in a kayfun, 1.4ohm on my new MVP2 and played with the voltage.
I did not get apple pie. I liked it and vaped it for a long time, but I was getting "sour apple jolly rancher".

I handed it to my BF to try - he got "omg this is awesome apple pie, crust and all, I need ice cream now".

:confused: I kept vaping thinking it would change for me... and filled a tank of it for him in my old Triton with a fresh battery. I asked him what he was tasting. "Warm fresh apple pie, even a bit of cinnamon and vanilla". I took a few hits off of the tank I filled for him. I still got sour apple jolly rancher... I'm so confused :?:

The smell of his vapor is yummy - it smells like apple pie!

I vaped almost the entire tank and gave myself a stomach ache trying to taste fresh baked apple pie :lol:

Maybe my taste buds are wonky and it needs a bit of steep before I can taste the entire flavor profile...

Good news - he's still happily vaping Band Camp and hasn't gone outside for a cig. Band Camp may be the game changer for him - yes!

I ran back to my comfort vape - strawnilla :vapor: :p :)

More proof that taste is subjective. Switch it up with devices, play with wattage and voltage, change the resistance of the coil (down down down!). Try .9 on that Kayfun, works for me.

Mine just arrived :)

Just checking, although I'm pretty sure of the answer ..this isn't one that cracks tanks is it - I put some in a new Unitank mini, took a couple of draws of it and set it aside to do something else: ..bang ..it had flown off the collar that screws to the battery: sheared off all the way around! Never had that before. It wasn't over tightened so I think it may be a faulty tank section?
It was on an MVP2 and had been used for a couple of draws at 8W.

Anyway, Getting pretty much what Remie is for now ..a bit 'sour pear drop' but can taste a little bit of well baked pie crust.
I'll put some in a new PT2 and see how that goes :laugh:

Have you all been using glass tanks with it so far?
The rest of the tank looks OK, but I only had it half filled. It's sheared right above the threaded part that the collar screws onto.
I'll try a PT2 later.

Yes, only glass so can't help you with answering that. I'd PM Clark to see if he's tested it in a plastic tank yet...

I have been using it in an Aspire Vivi Nova, that has a plastic tank and have not had a problem. I have run four tankfulls through it and it still looks fine. Of course I have also been running banana pudding through these same tanks with no problems, so it could be a different kind of plastic from other tanks.

I had it in a plastic kayfun nano tank and it's still in a kanger-style plastic tank now - no problems. It doesn't seem that acidic - like I think of a typical "tank cracker" juice. I'm going to give it another try tonight and see if it was just my taste buds yesterday.

It hasn't even turned dark in that tank yet - and typically juice darkens so much in that triton tank. :)

Thanks all of you :)

For all it's typical of a certain type of liquid cracking the tank, I don't think Band Camp is likely to have caused it. I've had apple, cinnamon and pie type liquids before with no problems.
I suspect a faulty tank - been looking to see if I can get spares, but it would seem not. Never mind, just found some sale price at £8 each. ...I do like to have a few spares to hand!
