So, I received my order from Juggy today. Shipped Thursday afternoon, here Monday. Not bad for Alberta to Ontario.
He'd upgraded my 7ml bottles to 10ml, which was a very pleasant surprise. Also, the bottles were absolutely stuffed full. I'm not sure how far up the bottle is actually its nominal capacity (I've a feeling it's to the shoulder) but these things were full to the neck and only had a very small air bubble in each. Even better.
So: First impressions. All of the juices are 24mg (I've bumped myself back up in an attempt to cut down on consumption rates) and selected from the VG Extreme line, dripped on my LT using a 2.5 ohm atty at 4.5 volts:
Jokesmoke 2.0
I see why a lot of people like this one so much. It's got a nice clean flavour, slightly sweet, with that certain je-ne-sais-quoi. I definitely get the cotton candy out of it, plus something else I can't nail down yet. Very subtle. This is definitely an ADV for me. Throat hit is great. Vapour production is spectacular. I filled a Vision Extreme with this and the bottle's still full to the shoulder.
Karamellow Bacco
This one surprised me. This is a very rich, full-flavoured tobacco, with hints of carmel floating around in it. If this juice were a movie, the tobacco would be the protagonist, and the caramel would be listed in the credits under "Tall Man #2". Perhaps with some steeping, the caramel will gain a little prominence, but for now I mostly get a very dark, rich, complex tobacco that's somewhat spicy. Kind of reminds me of Amphora pipe tobacco, actually, which I believe is a blend of Burley, Oriental and Virginia tobaccos, if I remember correctly. Very nice. Throat hit is quite strong, as well, and the vapour is excellent.
Ch-Cherry Bacco
This was the first one I tried, because I was a little worried about the posts above stating that some people get a very soapy flavour from Cherry and VG. Happily, this is not the case for me. It's got the same tobacco base as the Karamellow Bacco, which I quite enjoy, with a very strong black cherry mixed in. This one is a dead-ringer for Amphora Black Cherry pipe tobacco, or at least how it smells in the pouch. (I had about three puffs of a pipeful of the stuff and my tongue hurt for two days afterward. That stuff bites the tongue hard when you smoke it.) Given that I absolutely loved how that particular tobacco smelled in the pouch, this one is really nice. A little strong for an ADV, but it's quite good here and there. Throat hit and vapour are pretty much in line with the Karamellow Bacco.
VG RY4
I tried this one last, and I don't think I had fully cleaned out my atty. I was getting a mishmash of flavours, including something fruity. Got that same spicy finish as I had from the other two 'Baccos. Gonna have to revisit this one with a clean carto or atty.
Anyway, A-1 service, great juices, spectacular shipping, awesome prices, and A-1 service. (So nice I said it twice.) I am now officially a member of the Jugheads fan club. (A Juggy-lo? Sorry.)
