Steep time: fresh out of the mailbox

Nic Level: 6mg

tank/Atomizer: Spirit RDA at .5 ohms; 2 X 27 gauage 7 wraps

Mod: (mechanical, VV): mechanical Nemesis

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Sweet Lychee on the inhale and a mildly tart Cranberry on the exhale. Very light throat hit which may develop after some steep time. Very sweet and obviously at the ratio it's mixed, I keep blowing weather storms.

I'm too anxious because I know this is going to make major clouds for me since it's heavy VG so I will post now and edit tomorrow when it comes lol.


Steep time: Zero lol

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: Authentic Patriot RDA @ .4 ohms, 2 X 28g 5 wraps, 44 watts because you know my Sony will be 4.2 LOL!

Mod: (mechanical, VV) TacMods AR MOD #964

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Right out of the mail.. It has such a light cranberry taste to it. The high VG produces a lot of clouds for me since how my setup is. I get the hint of lychee on the exhale. It's actually a very light and sweet vape to me but really good. I'm going to let it steep to see if the flavor bursts but right out of the mail it's good and hits my taste buds nicely. This tastes really good. Well done again Clark.

As for the H1N1... Wow man... Such a light tobacco taste.. I don't even like those flavors.. But this is different.. right out of the mail I get light tobacco, caramel and peanut flavor. This is really really good. To me, right out of the mail... It's mostly caramel and peanuts with such a light tobacco flavor. I see why this is ADV for you guys.

Wow Hummingbird is SOOOO good!!!!!

Steep Time: I vaped it the second I got it!

Nic Level:18mg

Mod: ProVari

Tank: IBTanked carto tank with a Smok 2.0 cartomizer

Thoughts: It has a tart cranberry taste balanced with a sweet lychee. So very good!! The tartness almost reminds me of pink grapefruit. Whatever it is it is so very tasty!! Then I tried it with a little bit of Frenilla (I admit I add Frenilla to just about everything!) and OMG I think it's one of the best things I have ever tasted!!! Wow it just added a creaminess to it that makes it out of this world!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!

I just wanted to add something: After Hummingbird sat in my tank overnight, the cranberry mellowed and sweetened a bit. For me it just doesn't get any better!!!! I LOVE THIS JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Steep time: Postman just delivered it to my door

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: Igo-W4 RDA, dual coil 28ga, 0.50ohm, 34w, boiled organic cotton

Mod: Mech (Tree of Life)

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: I was shocked at how spot on the lychee aroma is. There is also a hint of cranberry. I was a little skeptical at the thought of a lychee vape because it is a very unique flavor that you have to get just right or it won't pass as lychee at all, unlike other fruit or bakery flavors where there might be a little more wiggle room. Very smooth vape and just the right amount of throat hit for me -- I'm not a big TH person. The lychee flavor is definitely done right, and the cranberry gives it just the most subtle amount of tartness. It's not a "pucker you lips" or "smack your tongue" tartness, but more of a tartness that rounds out the flavor. The only thing I am hoping for is that steeping it will intensify the sweet lychee flavor over time. Lychee is a very strong, sweet, juicy fruit and I'm hoping to get more of that in a week or two. Overall, I think this is right up there between BG and Gravity. I favor BG only slightly (for now) because it has a more prevalent sweetness. If the VG doesn't hold back the flavor from coming out even more, I think Hummingbird will become my favorite fruit vape. Awesome job with this juice, team!

Steep time: None LOL

Nic Level: 6

Tank/Atomizer: Cartel Stillare twisted duels @ 0.36ohms

Mod: PB Stingray

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: As a lychee junkie I was super excited to try this. It's a good lite vape that is not over powering in either the lychee or cranberry side. It's in between the straight lychee (bamskilicious) and the heavier cranberry tartness of CranChi. Definitely delicious and might prompt me to get another Reo

Steep Time: Oh, about five minutes.

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: Trident V2 with a 1.5 ohm micro

Mod: Vamo V3

I am not a lychee expert by any means, and I rarely deal with anything cranberry. I have to say the first thing that hit me was how clean the flavor was. Well balanced and very subtle. The inhale was a nice sweet fruity flavor (assuming that is the lychee). On exhale was a little bit of tartness which i'm guessing is the cranberry. I'm hoping with some more steep time the flavor gets a little stronger. However I could easily throw this in the kayfun as it is and vape it all day.

The more I vape Hummingbird the more I feel like "wow - I never thought I'd have another permanent fruit vape on the lineup... but... this might play." It's different enough that it doesn't cross the other two fruit offerings, yet similar enough that you could make a plausible argument that if you like Betelgeuse or Gravity - you'll probably enjoy Hummingbird. I'm honestly considering making it a permanent flavor... OR, at least keeping it around for the summer.

I was curious about what you would think... you've my resident Lychee junkie. If it meets your approval, it'll definitely pass.

Adding Frenilla for a hint of vanilla/creamy sounds really good! *eyes his bottle of Frenilla*

Glad you are enjoying it Amberina!~

I wouldn't consider myself a Lychee expert either, by any means, but I have tried three other Lychee vapes - Hummingbird (I hope) sufficiently differentiates itself from those other players as an interesting alternative!

Steep Time: I made it almost a full day!

Nic Level: 6

Tank/Atomizer: Taifun GT with a 2.3ohm coil, Prontank II Mini v2

Mod: Smok Magneto, Smok VV Winder 1000mah

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: I hate cranberry. And I have never tasted Lychee. BUT, I love this juice. It's sweet and tangy in perfect balance. It leaves this lovely aftertaste as well. For me to enjoy something with cranberry in it is a miracle in and of itself, this juice is the one thing that I enjoy that flavor in. On a standard ego style with a protank mini the flavor is slightly muted as expected, but still really good, and even a tad sweeter.

Love the new AVI - miss your old one though

Definitely a winner in my book. If you hadn't obliterated my vape budget recently I would already be buying more lol. BTW it goes very well with kim chee fried rice

I will second Amberina's suggestion! They work very well together!

I'm using the old one in the party room Also about to edit my post to add the protank mini

 

[catmomma]

Okay gonna do 2 of 'em since I started just dripping then I had to fill a tank. Thing is, I didn't have a "good" tank open, so I used a very basic PT2 mini and a Spinner, still good tho. Here goes:

Steep Time: 0

Nic Level" 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: IGO W4 single coil 28 guage 1.2 ohms

Mod: Nemesis clone w/fresh Sony VTC4 battery

Tasting notes: Wow, packs a fruity punch. Aromatic almost perfumy with the lychee. I can't quite get the cranberry specifically but I definitely get tartness maybe more of a brightness cause it is definitely not sour. The vapor production is excellent. Throat hit moderate. For me, it's a little too much in a dripper, but that's just me. I'm not so familiar with lychee straight up, but I get a definite "exotic" type fruit flavor with an almost creamy richness that the cranberry magically keeps from getting overpowering. Nice blending.


Steep Time: 0

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: Mini ProTank II Stock 1.8 ohm stock coil

Mod: Vision Spinner 1300 MAH @ 3.7v

Tasting Notes: I get a much more muted vape in this set-up. The creamy/meatiness of the lychee really stands out now. Its smooth and the cranberry is less pronounced, but the lightness/brightness is still there. It's just not so much "in your face". What I like about this juice a great deal is that it isn't "thin" like a lot of fruit vapes are. It has a roundness and a creamy mouthfeel without any creamy stuff added. The fruit flavor is not in the realm of familiar, but it doesn't get weird or cloying. Nice job with this juice.

I love your descriptors - I haven't tested in the Mini PT2 yet so I really appreciate you kicking in some tasting notes on it. Lots of people have that tank (and love it). I'm with you on the creamy mouthfeel, knowing what's in the liquid - it's a pleasant surprise for me, also!

 

[emily n portland]

Steep Time: fresh out of the mail

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: Helios clone, single coil, 1.5 ohms, cotton wick

Mod: itaste vv, played around then stayed at 8w

Tasting notes: I love this. I have never had real lychee. To me, it tastes floral w/ a little exotic fruity sweetness w/a light sweet cranberry with just a touch of the tartness cranberry can bring coming in behind it. I like what catmomma said about the creamy aspect of the flavor. Bright, Fresh, Clean are also great adjectives for hummingbird - which I think is a great name btw. I imagine a humming bird would be all about this flavor. Great vapor and throat hit - with the disclaimer that I just got my first RDAs a few days ago.

This will be going in a mini protank as soon as I have accomplished a little more of my to do list and have some time to wrap a coil.
I will be watching for stock updates, to make sure I don't miss out on a reorder. Excited to see how she develops over time.

Amberina's frenilla recommendation ....oh my, that's delightful
