I've been running GCD in a Russian 91 with a plastic tank for months now and have had no cracking issues what so ever.

Band Camp should be good to go!
Yes, I've been using the GCD with CB in the same Unitank mini and had no problems ...definitely thinking it's been a faulty one now! :)

USPS got their shizz together and actually delivered my juice!! Got it yesterday, so here are first impressions.

Steep Time: None
tank/Build: Magma RDA clone
1.8 ohms single coil.
Mod: Hana DNA30 Clone
6mg.
Tasting Notes: First impression is of ripe juicy yummy apple. That part of it is spot on and delicious. For some reason the pastry kind of doesn't quite do it for me. It has a little too much of a butter taste that I personally don't like. I may be that the pastry part will improve with some steeping. It totally isn't NT, it's me. I have tried 3 other apple pie juices in the past couple of months and it is the same with all of them. I was really hoping that BC would be different, but it is not quite as bad as some others.. I'm gonna steep it for a while and see what happens. It's not unvapeable, don't get me wrong.

First couple of toots tasted like fresh juicy apples. Now I am really getting the full apple pie flavor delight. I mixed in a little Frenilla and a dash of GCD. I'm not really getting much cinnamon but I am getting fresh from the oven juicy apple pie with a silky buttery crust. I don't even like apple pie and I love this vape! If apple pie tasted this good my waistline would be in trouble.

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:

We tested it in a Kanger T3 (wicked with cotton) and didn't see any issues... also put it in the Kayfun with the plastic tank section without issue... should be okay. Typically a "tank cracker" takes time to "work into the plastic" - it's not the kind of thing where you fill a tank and bang, crack.

I hope it steeps out for you - the bakery part has a tendency to come forward over time!~

Thanks :) Pretty much as I thought ...It had only been in the tank for a couple of minutes. I think it's been a faulty one!
I haven't got around to trying it in another tank yet, but will do!

Lol...never had any desire to taste a "toot". :blink:

Vaping needs it own word but that is definitely not it! :lol:

Steep: about 6 days (I think)
Nic level: 6mg
Tank: Stillaire RDA, .27 ohms
Mod: Chi-you clone

I decided to give this another try, since it has been almost a week. Still delicious. I can taste the apple flavor, but it is more of a fresh apple flavor. There is a hint of crust on the exhale, perfectly hidden in the background. However, the best thing about this is that my wife tried it. She just doesn't have a taste for the "better" flavors. She likes the simple flavors, such as what our local vape shop carries0. A Apple menthol, blueberry, etc. She took one vape from my mod, looked at me for a moment, then took another hit. Her eyes widened, and she simply said "This is....very...pleasant." as she handed my mod back to me. I am slowly converting her to NT!! She sounded interested in cool cucumber mint, so that is next on my list!

I wanted to wait awhile before I said hit it! For me it is good on its own, but mixed with GCD and Frenilla it is great! I am not sure I will use this straight up, but in the blend, it will always have a spot on my rotation. I have never had any other apple pie so I can't compare but although it won't make my top 5 from NT, I still like it!

Steep Time: Straight out of the limited edition black envelope.

Nic level: 6 mg

Atty; Various

Firing device: Various


Thoughts/ Tasting notes: Various


This one has been an enigma for me! I tend to build to the juice. With that being said, I loaded my tasting device ( iTaste V3 topped with a non AFC Cyclone) and took it for a spin. This device has been a great measuring unit to determine my builds. Its built with a single coil to 1.2 ohms and the vv/vw feature is great for this purpose.

O.K, First pull. Oh yeah, fresh apple with a little crust lying in the back ground. I cranked up the heat and found a little more crust.
So I decided to load my Stillare built to with duals @ 0.5 ohms and CC and let it rip. Wait! What? The apple was there but I got this really strange kind of plastic like after taste. Wait again, that couldn't of been right so I loaded it a few more times and bleh! Where did that first pull flavor go? At this point, I started to chase the flavor that I knew was in there. I tossed various builds at this one, Higher ohm's, lower ohms, a Pro tank, loaded it in my DID, different rda's, but didn't go to a Kayfun or Russian as I wanted to figure this one out before committing a tank to this. I started thinking "could it be the wick?", so I changed out to Koh Gen Do and then the flavor started to come around. So then I got another idea and loaded the MicroStick/ Aiolos using wool filler and wicking with ecowool built to 1.2 ohms. Wow, there it was! Fresh Apple Pie with the crust in all of its glory. I was so happy, I kept pulling on it until the battery almost died! So after this, I decided to build a KFL+ and give it a go. Built it to 1.1 ohms with 26g and a 3.0 mm coil. Wicked it up with KGD and placed the KF on Gus22. BAM! there it was in all of its glory! Oh yeah, sweet success! However, I am in no way done with this one yet as I know she is a little immature and will benefit well from a good steep. This is another amazing juice when it is hit just right and I can not wait to see where she lands.

When Clark says "Taste is subjective" the man is just not whistling Dixie. He knows what he is talking about!

On another note, I just placed an order for a Hanna / Magma and this is going to be the first juice loaded during the shake down cruise.

This story will undoubtedly continue! Vape on! "Big John"
