This is my first review everyone, just an FYI. If you like it cool, if not, I will stop... and sorry.
Indigo Vapor - Captain Ron
18 mg Nic Bottled on 10/28/2012 - steeped until 11/4/2012 (with one clearo stolen beforehand... review after steeping for 7 days)
So - based upon a review from vaporrater.com, I decided to purchase this juice. I like to follow his reviews because, well, come on, he's a chef, his recognition of flavors will be better than any of ours ever will. But, I digress and onto Captain Ron. When I heard the name, I immediately associated it with the beach, an island and Kurt Russell. Not Martin Short... never Martin Short.
I usually dwell in the sweet additives in my tobacco juices, and this juice didn't disappoint. It's not an RY4... it's refined. The flavors hit you almost one at a time. You get the tobacco first... then, you're hit with the banana. On my first vape, I didn't steep it and it was a bit bitter... but then I read the enclosed business card and let it steep (I'm impatient, sue me), and after 7 days, it was a totally different flavor profile. First vape? No coconut, and the banana tasted like I bit the top off to get to the fruit inside. Nobody likes that. But upon steeping (I do the top off for the first night, put the cap on, shake, top off for an hour, cap on, shake, then let it sit there until day 7 in my velvet drawer in my night stand. No, I'm a guy, I have a velvet drawer in my nightstand... seriously, don't let your mom pick out furniture as a "gift" for you.... that you pay for) the taste profile changed into tobacco... then... holy schnikes bananananananana... and finally, which I didn't think I would like, since I hate artificial coconut, coconut... very subtle, but there. Delicious.
The throat hit on the Captain? Nice. It doesn't feel cheap like I have found with a lot of juices in my 18mg range. Most I can feel the nic tingle me, but this felt different. Natural and real. I liked it.
Vapor production on this one? Good stuff. My girlfriend was watching me take a vape break with this in my T3 while I was fixing her brakes and didn't see my e-cig in my hand. She started yelling about the amount of "smoke" thinking I was stressed to the point of breaking out an analog. This was outside of my garage where vapor usually dissipates quickly.
Now, I know a lot of people judge based upon all facets of their juices... the only thing I would change is the labeling on the bottle. I know Indigo changes their mixes with PG/VG and it's not on there, but I think that could be a turn off for a lot of vapers, especially if they are allergic to PG. I'm not, so I don't care. I got a 4 bottle sampler with this, 4mg each with the same nic. The big bottle of Captain Ron? Had a "born on date" like my precious Budweiser, the samplers didn't, which isn't a big deal, but it's something a lot of people like. A plus? I ordered their Kaleidoscope flavor in my sampler and they threw in another 3mg bottle of it for free. Nice. SWAG.
Based on this, I give Captain Ron a review of 5 Kurt Russells - pick this one up, find a chair, put on some shades and you'll feel just like you're on the beach with your toes in the water and ... in the sand.
