I don't know if it's specific to jughead, specific to VG juices, the fact that they haven't steeped enough or a combination of all of the above but I found that most juices I've tried were very light in flavor.

I only do VG (at most 30% PG) . I find Jughead's juices to be much more flavorful than other juices I've tried. VG is known not to have as much flavor as PG.

I'm a big fan of Juggy's Gen. Grunt's Vanilla Custard and always 'steep' it for a minimum of 2 wks. By steeping I mean, shake it and put it in the pantry for 2 weeks and leave it be. It has a very rich sweet, creamy, vanilla taste when its ready so if you're finding it mild or weak, just wait a bit - it's worth it. That said, I don't find any of the one's I've tried from Juggy to be mild or lite in a genesis setup or a dripper, except the original Joke Smoke but I have no idea what they are like with attys or cartos.

The only one's I don't steep for 2 weeks or more are Joke Smoke Twizzter (my current fav and has always been great right out of the mailbox) and some of the fruits which only seem to need a few days to a week.

As with all e-juice, patience is your friend ;)

Here's my initial thoughts on Juggy's Juices.

Keep in mind a few things
- I've only been vaping for 3 weeks
- The first 2 weeks I vaped 70pg/30vg juices and the ones I ordered from Jughead are all vg
- These juices haven't really steeped since I got them on Monday so I only tried about 1ml of each.

I don't know if it's specific to jughead, specific to VG juices, the fact that they haven't steeped enough or a combination of all of the above but I found that most juices I've tried were very light in flavor.
As another member mentioned, some are to be expected like in the Jokesmoke but on others, I was expecting a strong flavor (for example with KaramelApple and Grunt Vanilla custard). The only 2 that I found having a full flavor so far are H20 Melonz and Oooh Cola.

Here's what I've tried so far
Jokesmoke 2.0: subtle and pretty good, light sweetness at the end, pretty sure that's the way it's supposed to taste.
Ry4x4: subtle and pretty good, didn't really taste caramel or vanilla
Yum Yum Ry4: subtle and pretty good, didn't really taste caramel or vanilla
Dynominty: subtle, not a very strong mint taste, pretty sure that's the way it's supposed to taste.
H20 Melonz: nice watermelon taste, pretty sure that's the way it's supposed to taste.
Oooh Cola-la: strong sour cola candy taste, pretty sure that's the way it's supposed to taste.
MMM Toffe: didn't taste toffee at all
Grunts vanilla custard: very, very faded taste of vanilla and custard
Karamel Apple: light apple taste, didn't taste caramel

Here's what I have left to try:
Rich KaraMello`Bacco Perfection
Karamel Kafe
Nor`Leans Banana Foster
Swedish Pastry Plus
Coquito creamy caramel Flan


The good news though is that since the flavor is very light, none of them taste awful and all are easy to vape :D
Now mind you, as I said, some probably need steeping and I'm also not used to VG juices (for example, I'm comparing them to Halo Malibu and coffee mocha which are 70/30 and both are really strong in flavor)

Anyway, I'll update in a week or so if any of those got much better.

Of the ones you got that I have tried, the karamel apple gets better with age, the karamel bacco does too and karamel Kafe as well. These are not weak flavours at all. Swedish Pastry seems to need a lot of age. I didn't like mine until 3 months in. It is a very acquired taste and tastes buttery for a while. You want a strong flavour-trust me, you have it with Swedish Pastry. Love the h20 melon right away and still don't like the cola. Too strong for me. My fav is the wild honey badger and am dying to try the black honey badger.

Would be interested in how you like the others I haven't tried

I must be doing something wrong, all my juice leave a harsh after taste in my throat, from those I've tried artic blueberry is the only one that doest leave the harsh after taste. All are 50/50 juice, Gunslinger, e-phluidz ltd, echo echo and Jokesmoke (this one is VG) all taste great but leave the harsh taste in the throat. I'm using an Innokin Itaste MVP 2.0, with Iclear30 and a Protank 2, I find it's worst with the protank used voltage from 3.7 to 4.5 to see if taste differs.

I got my first order from Juggie's a couple of weeks ago. Naturally, I had to try them right out of the mailbox. Was really disappointed - no taste. The Swedish Pastry that I was really looking forward to tasted a bit like sawdust. I let them all sit for a week and they all developed some flavour. I tried the Swedish Pastry yesterday and it has a definite flavour to it now. It's still only just over 2 weeks since I got it so probably still hasn't steeped long enough yet. I suspect in another couple of weeks it's going to be even better. I'll be ordering another bottle of it next week because I'm pretty sure that once this first bottle hits it's prime I'm going to want another, already steeped, one ready to go.

Agreed that it needs in the area of two months or more. One of my favourite vapes is 70% General Grunts Custard and 30% Swedish Pastry both steeped to about 10 weeks. OMFG is it fantastic. Right now I'm going through a mix of General Grunts and Butta Rum that is also amazing.

Swedish Pastry seems to go with a lot of different flavours. I will have to try the custard. It's also great with the karamel apple and razzleberry at about the same concentration

When I first started vaping I noticed that too, I find it has more to do with your setup than the actual juice. when I started I was using clearos with stock wicks and stuff, moved on to bamboo and still not much, then I tried genesis and I got a lot more flavour but the th was too much for me (I'm sure if I tried making one now it would be much better) and now I'm using cotton on a dripper atm and I feel like I almost get too much flavour (a bunch of my juices are months old when I got double shots of flavour when I could) Also the amount of water you drink plays a part, if you don't drink enough water it can mute the flavours, also not vaping for a few hours helps and along with that switching up juices helps as your tastebuds seem to get 'worn out' if using the same liquid for too long. Steeping also helps but less than these other things I've noticed (Swedish pastry still tastes like the same flouride to me as the day I got it and it's steeped for a year at this point)

The amount of power you're using also has a big impact, some juices perform better at lower or higher volts/wattage (Which is why I think VW is not much better than VV)


TLDR Your setup is a huge factor in how much flavour you get, drink tons of water, and don't chainvape the same juice for hours on end

Thanks for all the useful info. Yeah, for now I'm still using all the standard stuff and still don't feel comfortable with all the "still obscure" devices like drippers, RBAs, genesis, etc... I guess I'll get there eventually LOL!
By the way, on which device did you use the Genesis? It seems that most use them on mech mods but I'm still far away from that.

For me THE best experience was on Davide, Evod and GS-H2.

Not trying to derail this thread too much but of all of my setups this is by far the best. A Provari (mini) and an eBaron Dripper Pro. Superb flavour and perfect airflow, just such a fantastic atty that was literally made for one of the best regulated devices out there.

I only have a Mark Bugs Wand and a BliSS genesis, I don't really use either since switching to cotton/silica (I switched cause I always get really harsh vapes on the SS mesh it seems like, likely I just haven't gotten the builds right) but I use them on a sigelei zmax/vamo I have a DNA20 mod coming that I'll likely switch to permanently or I run it on my caravela if I'm feeling like a elitist
Probably going to sell the BliSS tbh I haven't used it in like 9+months lol

I've been using my hellfire dripper exclusively since I got it about 2 months ago on the same devices

You can also rebuild protanks and those ilk really easily, I have some of the older ones (kanger t4 maybe?) that were substantially less easy to build (i.e. no removable coil heads) and even still they were not too bad, cheaper than buying heads too
