Order came today - small review.
(I am a total noob with an unrefined palate, btw)
I ordered:
SmokTech 510 Stainless Steel Dual Coil LR Atomizer
Pretty purple Driptip
JokeSmoke 2.0 VG - 30ml - 18 concentrate
Wild Honey Badger, Tobac - 30ml - 18 concentrate
Swedish Pastry Plus+ - 30ml - 18 concentrate
CocoaMint - 30ml - 18 concentrate
I also received samples of
Kettle Korn - 10mL, 18mg
Pure Canadian Maple - 7mL, 18mg
Dynominty - 10mL, 18mg
I ordered an atomizer and have decided that dripping is not for me. I have to draw so so so hard and I get almost no vapor and the flavour just tastes... nasty (not primer nasty, but too strong and unbalanced) with a harsh throat hit, almost a crackling sensation on my tongue. Not to mention is gets so hot after one or two draws I'm afraid of melting my driptip.
The
Wild Honey Badger is absolutely everything I wanted it to be. In the nasty atomizer it tasted overwhelmingly citrussy (and the only juice I've absolutely
hated was Mandarin Orange), almost like lemon/pineapple. In the stardust it's a really nice, mellow taste, with the tobacco playing really well with the (much sweeter and mellower) citrus/fruit notes.
ChocoMint is also exactly what I wanted. It's exactly what it says on the tin, folks. The mint doesn't overpower the chocolate flavour, which is great - I was worried a bit after hearing what people say about the JS3McCool that it would be too minty. My ADV for the last 2-3 weeks ha been the Gentlemen's Reserve Mojito, and I could easily see the ChocoMint as replacing it or going into a tank for my 12+ hour school days.
I'm not a huge fan of
Canadian Maple. The taste is there, definitely, it's just not a flavour I'm a huge fan of. It really does taste like true maple flavour, though, not the artificial "syrup" flavour that often gets labelled as "maple." I will probably PIF this one, not as a reflection on the juice, but knowing someone else will like it more than me. IT's a great flavour and throat hit, though.
The
Swedish Pasty Plus+ is... interesting. I think I will have to develop a relationship with it over time, as there's a lot going on in it and I'm finding it a little surprising right now. It was absolutely
awful in the atomizer, just pure cinnomony YUCK. It was much much better in an 808 carto, but I'm a little afraid of this one cracking a plastic tank, so I don't really know what to do with it atm (I've moved on from the 808s and don't want to have to buy more cartos after the ones I have are shot). The person earlier who said it was "special" was exactly right. I've never had anything like this before.
I only tried the
Jokesmoke 2.0 in the atomizer, since I'm out of stardusts and I need a syringe before I can try my firebirds (ooooooops). From what I can guess about it's "real" taste, I'm not sure it's much different than other mild tobaccos I've tried. I'll give it another go once I clean out a stardust, but I'm not overly impressed right now.
Juice: 10/10. Great flavour, the throat hit (in a stardust) is subtle but def. there. Vapor is ridiculous - this is my first 100% VG juice though, but I can't even see my screen after a medium hit. Smell is nice, bottles are good quality and nicely labelled (these things are important to me). I haven't tried them all yet but I've already decided this was a "hit" of a juice order (which is great, as I've had my share of "misses" ordering juice)
I haven't tried
Dynominty because (like above) I'm afraid of cracking a tank. I don't know what to do with the
Kettle Korn. Has anyone tried it? I actually really hate popcorn, and I've heard the artificial popcorn flavour is really dangerous, healthwise, so I don't know...
Hardware: 5/10. The driptip's beautiful. The atomizer's a POS. I don't know if that's the way they're supposed to work but I don't think so.
Customer Service: 25/10!! I got some little candies in the envelope. I received personalized messages both via email and handwritten on the order receipt. I was impatient and sent payment without waiting for a password (but Juggy figured out my security answer). The bottles were filled RIGHT to the top, and the shrink-wrap to prevent leaking was a nice touch. Absolutely over-the-top great.
Bottom Line: I don't know if it's ok to mention other vendors in this thread, but I've put Juggy's juice right up there (or above) Gentlemen's Reserve. Juggy's customer service blows GR's outta the park (nothing wrong with GR, they are just very businesslike, no freebies or small personal touches). If Juggy's NanaBread is on par with GR's, I'll switch from Mojito to ChocoMint and probably exclusively vape Juggy's.
