Loving butter rum, cinnamon bun and chocolate orange. Have a few set aside to steep before trying again.
Yay juggy!

How's the chocolate orange? I have one that's great, but on the VERY bittersweet side. Here's my problem though..... I want flavors to reach out of the drip tip in a big hand-shaped vapor cloud, slap me around few times, then dissipate in a tasty fog... lol. Maybe it's because my tastebuds are still trying to come back from the dead, but I need strong flavors to be satisified.

My taste buds are messed too, been analogue free a whole 27 hours lol
So far the orange is stronger than the chocolate but I'm going to steep a bit and come back to it. Seems like a hit though.

Thanks for your opinion.... and congratulations! Soon enough you'll be saying 27 days, then 27 weeks.... and 27 months!

The tastebud thing takes patience. I still have days when I hate *everything* I loved just the day before.... one veteran told me it was 4 months before her sense of taste came back fully and "normalized"..... but at least we're moving in the right direction :)

tyger - stop changing your avatar! :)

From my former life as a chef, a wise mentor told me once that if you ever tasted something that made you say 'hmmm, this is different..' - try to analyse and describe it right there and then. This way, you make a stronger association from your senses to your brain. Otherwise, you will get used to it fast and not notice it at all eventually. I think this applies especially to us ex-somokers as we get off analogs.

just my 2 cents...

Thanks for that advice..... sometimes I'm bad at figuring out what I'm tasting. And sometimes I think I'm crazy, because I don't notice what others do and think it tastes like something completely different lol. But I'll keep this in mind.... and not delay thinking about it until "later" or "next time".

And yes, gmypc, I'll stick with Ms. Deittrich at least for a few days now ;)

I'm very happy with the Kettle Corn and Black Licorice as of my recent sampling. I wish the Kettle Corn made it long enough to steep. :D

Another thing: Our tastebuds constantly change, they die out and return. When this happens when vaping one juice, switch it up completely with a citrus, menthol or cinnamon and go back to the old vape. It took about a month after smoking for my tastebuds
to regulate.

Took me longer than that. I actually went through two stages of "tastebud death." One after about a week or so of switching, and then a second one about two months later. Each time when my taste came back everything tasted much better. I even had to seriously cut back on the spicy stuff after the second phase because my normally pleasantly hot green Tabasco suddenly became molten green lava.

What does the black honey taste like? Have you tried the natural premium? Are they similar?

I really liked the Black Honey Tobacco, only bought a 10ml but next order it will be 30ml for sure. Just the right sweetness and still has the tobacco flavour... I have a hard time explaining flavours, but it is good!

Edit... I didn't notice the second part of your question about natural premium... I have tried it as well, and it was more potent than what my taste buds enjoy (at this time anyways, lol), hard to explain but if memory serves me it tasted kind of woody... black honey tobacco ranks MUCH higher on my list than natural premium.

So here's my take on the Juggy Juice's that I've tried to date:

JokeSmoke : This juice really lived up to the hype, it's a great earthy
smooth tobacco vape. It's great for mixing too since it's a clear liquid
without any strong flavours. I like to mix mountain dew with it to give it a
little pop (no pun intended). Throw a couple of drops of Yum Yum Gum in on
top of that and you're vaping a grape slushy :).

Organic Banana : This one is pretty decent, it tastes like ripe bananas mb a
little too ripe for my taste. This is another juice that mixes well.

Organic Cookies and Cream : I really like this juice, nice dessert vape. IIRC the throat hit wasn't very strong on this one.

JS McKool : I found this one unvapeable. It tastes like an overpowering mint
drop. Unless you use it to mix just a couple of drops into say JokeSmoke or
something it's just way too powerful.

CocoaMint: Even after steeping for a few weeks this juice is too strong. It
seems juggys needs to work on their mint vapes. Do not recommend.

Karamello Bacco : I was really impressed with this juice, it's a nice spicy,
slightly sweet tobacco. Great stuff.

Karamel Apple : Didn't like this juice. Didn't taste like apple to me. FYI
this is not a tobacco vape like the vastly superior Karamello Bacco

H20 Melonz : I know that a lot of people like this juice. I found it pretty good but I wasn't blown away or anything. Tastes like canteloupe more than honeydew.

Mountain Do! : This is an enjoyable authentic vape. Just like the real thing.

7-Burp : Don't expect 7-Up from this juice, it's basically lemonade. That said, it's a pretty decent sweet honeyish lemonade vape.

Organic Watermelon : Pretty good vape, definitely tastes like watermelon. I would't tank it but it's a nice change on occasion. This one didn't require steeping.

Organic Orange Cream: Again, good vape. However, I've tried an orange creamsicle juice that blows this away.

Torque 56 : Nutty tobacco with no sweetness. Part of the Halo line of e-juices. I couldn't vape this one, only for real tobacco heads :).

FogStar : I had read a positive review of this juice but I was disappointed. It's a cinnamony type vape with minimal sweetness. Not particularly enjoyable.

Blueberry Thrill : This juice requires plenty of steeping time. Definitely does not taste authentic. It's sweet, very strong (perfumy) and tastes somewhat like blueberry drink I suppose.

So as you can see Juggy's juices are a mixed bag, don't expect to love every juice you order. There are certainly some standouts if you can be bothered to read reviews or go through some trial and error. I think it's worthwhile though and that it's impossible not to find at least a few juices from Juggys that you will like. I haven't tried all their juices and will probably keep experimenting. Juggy is nice enough to throw in a free juice on occasion which helps. For me the real standouts so far have been the JokeSmoke, the cookies and cream (though minimal throat hit) and Karamello Baco. I'll be trying their Chai, licorice, Cola and possibly some more dessert vapes next.

This just proves how subjective taste is..... I really enjoy the CocoaMint, and don't find it at all too strong. In fact, I find many of the others to be too weak. It completely reminds me of ski trips from ages ago, and the hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps we used to make up in our room when we got back to the hotel after a day on the slopes!

But we agree on the Blueberry Thrill..... too perfumey.... but then I say that about pretty much anything fruity, regardless of whose mix it is.

I highly recommend trying the Swedish Pastry Plus. Let it steep for best flavor; it seems to darken with time.... that's when it gets good. If the name appeals to you, then the juice probably will too.... 'cos it seems to be dead on to the description. Tastes just like a golden browned flaky pastry with a hint of butter and sticky cinnamon sugar.... but not too sweet.

The black licorice is pretty yummy too, though I wouldn't have minded if it was a smidgen stronger. I like flavors that slap me hard lol.... Guessing from your review, you might find it flavorful enough.

With juice, it seems there's absolutely no "right and wrong".... one vaper's "ICKY", is another's ambrosia ;)

Yup there's no accounting for subjectivity it seems ;). I'll give the Swedish Pasty and the licorice a go ty sir.

where did you get the creamsicle? I have the organic orange and find it pretty good..

It was Orange-sicle from CapitalNicFit, it tastes just like an orange ice-creamcicle, it's a tiny bit soapy but man it is incredibly flavourful. CNF bought Juicy Clear and they rebranded their juices as their house brand. They're expensive though and I had a problem with them shipping me the wrong juice once.
