Thoughts/Tasting Notes: This is my first lychee flavored eliquid but I love lychee candies. The first puff was cranberry, the second puff took me back to the days when I was turned on to those candies! It's a delight when a flavor/smell triggers a pleasant memory, especially a distant one so thanks for that! Aside from the first puff the lychee is the star of the show, cranberry just dances in the background for me. The high VG in this one gives it that velvety mouthfeel, I just want to be enveloped in it which is doable due to the huge thick lychee clouds that are produced. With Hummingbird, I keep the airflow almost shut on my Aqua for 2 reasons: The flavor is denser and to avoid dry hits (thick juice). Hummingbird does seem to be a coil gunker! A good amount of buildup after 3mls. I recognize it as a tradeoff to get this much flavor out of a high VG blend, but people using disposable heads be warned. I was truly wowed by this one, just on flavor I'd put it top 5 but overall vape I think it's the best I've had.

Great feedback Bob - and yes, the sweetener I use in the fruit liquids isn't the kindest to coils - tastes yummy though!

Steep time: Almost 1 month

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: Authentic Kayfun Lite + V2, 1.2Ohm, Kick 2 at 15W, 27 Guage on 5/64th drill bit with 10 wraps

Mod: V3tronix Flip

So we're a month in, I got my new Kayfun in, and I figured I might as well load up some Hummingbird in my test run. Despite the thickness of the juice, Hummingbird rocks it in the Kayfun. From my original Kayfun, the v2 + seems to have larger juice wells which is why I wanted to try this juice. I also reloaded it back in my Patriot at .5 ohms. The difference? Of course the Patriot rips out the vapor, but on the flavor side, the Kayfuns lack of just pure face melting wattage seems to make the flavors more melted together. I should clarify though, it's not "muted". When I go side by side, the Patriot seems to give Lychee, then a taste of Cranberry. On the Kayfun, the flavors almost seem to swirl together. This is another Nicoticket juice I think I prefer in the Kayfun. As a whole though, the juice seems more balance with age. I have to say that I like it fresh, but a month gives it ADV potential for me.

So far for me it's been

Dripper: Custard's Last Stand, Creme Brulee, The Virus, Betelgeuse, Grape Ape
Kayfun: Radioactive, Gravity, Hummingbird

Reason #101 why I shop for my gravy exclusively at Nicoticket... my Hummingbird showed up today (one day after it was shipped by the way... reason #47 why NT is my go-to). In my perfectly packed purple parcel was an extra bottle!

Of course the Hummingbird is delicious, like everything I've ordered from them (reason #1!), but it's those little touches that earn my loyalty. Thanks, Clark and Katy!

So the last time I posted a review of Hummingbird it was the only fruit vape that I had tried from Nicoticket. Since then I have tried them all. I have to say that Hummingbird is my absolute favorite of all the fruit vapes that they offer!!
This is saying a lot since I really liked all of them. I usually tend to like the really sweet vapes the best (which for me was BG) but for some reason the Hummingbird just hits the balance thing just perfectly for me. I really don't like tart or sour flavors at all but when it is delicate and balanced with a sweetness it is just so freaking good!!

I really do hope that Hummingbird stays around for a while or at least comes back as a seasonal offering (as Clark had mentioned before all of this FDA stuff came into play)

I love this stuff!!

I got mine today! Debating what I should try it in first! Im going on a two day road trip, starting tomorrow morning, so I almost wanna go for it in the Kayfun lite+V2! Thanks for all the reviews and feedback so far! I will probably test this out my Magma after I finish off this AA I just dripped (pooled) in it!

Steep time: FOOB
Nic level: 6mg
Tank: Stillaire, dual coils .27 ohms
Mod: Chi you clone

Before I even opened my purple package, I could smell the sweet smell of this stuff. I dripped some in my Stillaire and was more than pleased with the sweet cranberry taste. The cranberry was mixed with another sweet taste, which I assume is the lychee. I've never had lychee before, but this stuff is amazing. The NT team knocked this one out of the park. This is easily and ADV for me, and definitely in my top 5 most favorite juices. Neither flavor is overpowering the other, they blend together perfectly. The 80% vg is an added bonus, I'm producing massive clouds with this stuff. It is so smooth with little to no throat hit, which I love. Overall, 5 out of 5. Hummingbird did not disappoint!!

Steep time: FOB

Nic Level: 6

Tank/Atomizer: Tugboat with .4ohm single parallel coil

Mod: Panzer

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Plumes, plumes of vapor. Granted I'm using a low ohm coil but this juice puts out serious vapor. Similar to Gravity as I get cranberry, maybe pomegranate, predominately. I'm not ashamed to say I've never knowingly eaten a Lychee so I have nothing to go on for reference. I'm really glad I got a 50ml bottle because this is a wonderful juice. I'll try it on lower watts soon but I'm loving it on my fog machine.

Tank/Atomizer: Stillaire RDA : twisted 28g, dual coils @ .32 with rayon

Mod: Copper 4nine clone by infinite

Thoughts/Tasting Notes:

Strong cranberry on the inhale and what I imagine lychee tastes like on the exhale. Very smooth, crisp, and light. A lot of flavor though. Dense clouds of vapor. It doesn't mind the heat from sub ohm coils at all. Extremely fragrant, as everybody around me wants some. After the first couple of exhales my girlfriend asks "Mmmmmm WHAT IS THAT?!". She has now commandeered my copper stillaire/4nine clone setup. I had to wrestle it back from her to take a pic of the coils..lol.

*Notes to self: Must obtain and consume a lychee.
