Kent, I've been toying with my settings a bit and got something new out of this. I just got an odd grapefruit flavor. Was quite enjoyable.

I get the grapefruit thing also, periodically - and I like it, also (even though I am not a pink grapefruit fan)

Steep time: FOOB
Nic Level: 6mg
tank/Atomizer and Mod: Genny and Semovar / 3D and Nemesis
Build Information: Genny - Dual coils = 1.4 Ohms / 3D 1.8 Ohms

Before reading the notes, I should warn you that I am a flavor chaser, not a cloud chaser. I am willing to wait months on a steep if it yields good flavor.

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: In the Genny, I taste the lychee and orange predominately. The flavors meld in a way that the only thing it reminds me of is Fresca. In the 3D, the orange is more in harmony and I get a taste of mango and a tart flavor that I attribute to the green apple. On the exhale, I believe I get a note of apricot but I cannot nail it down. It is almost creamy.

Other Notes: I like this a lot FOOB in the Genny. I am hesitant to steep this, but I shall consider putting aside a few ml's to see how much it changes each week.

Love the mango flavor but vaped so much the roof of my mouth is raw from the orange peel! So I thought to tame it down a bit and added some Frenilla to the F5 and WOW!!!!! Delicious. I'm getting a sweet ruby red grapefruit flavor. Another great juice from Clark and Katy! Can't wait for the root beer float! I'm so hooked on Nicoticket.

Mmmm.

Steep time: 1 day :) born on 5/1 usps took their sweet time going from Omaha to Chicago
Nic level: 6 mg
Tank/atomizer and Mod: some RDA 1.8 Ohm on Sigelei 20 watt.

Thoughts/tasting notes: I played around with the wattage settings. I found my ideal was right around 11 watts. Lower wattage didn't have that flavor pop for me. I went up to 20 watts and the lychee and mango over powered everything. The orange on the exhale is outstanding.

Other notes: I love this flavor. I wish you could do more.

Build Information: 28g .7 ohm (single coil, 19.5 watts)

Mod: mechanical (astro clone)

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Wow. Fresh out out box, I'm getting a delicious mango citrus blend and its absolutely delicious. Really really good. Its light and refreshing but still very flavorful. Sad that this is a short run. Its the best fruit flavor I've ever tasted. Superman strikes again!

Steep time: I've had it for 3 days

Nic Level: 12mg

Tank/Atomizer: Igo W and RM2

Build Information: Igo W 1.2 ohms 15 watts. RM2 0.8 and 0.4 ohms

Mod: (mechanical, VV) Igo W on the Provari - RM2 on 3.7 :)

Thoughts/Tasting Notes:

I first tried it on the Igo at 15 watts. It was good, but I got a lot of lychee, of which I am not the biggest fan, so I didn't immediately come back to it. Today while changing wicks on my Reo, I decided to throw some on there to taste it on sub-ohm. Knocked my damn socks off. Best fruit vape I've ever had. 0.4 ohms (40 watts) is definitely my sweet spot, and I am thinking about going down to 0.3 ohms (53 watts). I agree with the Fresca analogy, I think that was about spot on. On the inhale I'm getting an out of this world lychee/tangerine flavor that kind of blends into a dry grapefruit sort of thing. On the exhale a lot of apricot and some apple, it almost blends into a mango.

So, I'm tasting 3 fruits that aren't in the mix, grapefruit, tangerine and *mango. I guess the only factual thing I can say is that I adore this flavor, and I am dreading my last empty bottle of it. I can literally see myself being sad for a few hours, the only saving grace is that Clark has some more stuff in the pipeline. Nicoticket 2014, such a pleasure to be watching it happen, it really adds value to my life.

Edit: * missed that it does have mango in the flavor description. My bad. Anyway, tis one is changing around on me a little bit, like the Virus. My taste buds might be drying up, but I feel like I am almost getting a bit of orange juice on the inhale. Oh, and not too much coconut, if any for me yet, but that's kind of to be expected for me.

Oh man, now I WILL have to buy to try it on the Reo at low resistance. Do you do all NT fruit juices that low, and, if so, does it work for you?

No, I usually keep Gravity, BG, QOH and GA around 1 ohm. I am not too big on any fruit from any vendor though. This Refresh is my all time favorite. I would definitely get some before he runs out, as it is a one time offering. I AM so excited for Nicoticket 2014. This Refresh and PBC are amazing, for me they beat out the juices that won the Best of 2013 ECF.

Another thing about Refresh is I am getting so much mango and orange, but no citric acid taste. I think that's one reason why it's so good, I am just getting the body of the fruit. For me, Gravity has more citrus in it. Refresh is perfectly blended. (and perfectly named, good job Catmomma!)

I generally like the fruit at lower wattage, honestly - Betelgeuse and Gravity in particular really wash out at high wattage (for me, anyway)... that, and they are intense. It's one of those things you have to experiment with!!

Thank you. Just ordered Refresh. My poor credit card!

Been following this thread and resisting, but Kevin33 pushed me over the edge! Been doing Gravity and Betelgeuse in Aerotank mostly. Tried at 0.9 and 1.2 on the Reo, but not to good effect for me. Following Kevin33's post, trying Gravity on 0.6 and it is actually great for me.
But sounds like Refresh will be the ONE. You better start up with those orange peels right away, Sir.

You will not be disappointed. That's all I can say about that. This flavor has been getting some amazing reviews.

Hey, is there another fruit around the corner to replace this when I buy all of it up? Maybe mango, orange peel, guava, cranberry, apple coconut?

I have a box full of badash recipes man - you got nothing to worry about. hehe
