Thanks for the info. I went through my last post and edited/updated some things. Anything I didn't care for that much will steep for a week before being tried again, and will also either be dripped or thrown in the MAP tank to give them one last chance. This way I can find out if they just needed to steep, or if they just weren't that great out of a carto.

You're welcome! To be honest, some of the flavors need to steep longer than a week. Try them next week and check. Some will be good to go and others will need more time. Good idea what you're doing though. Then you'll know what's good to vape right away, needs steeping, etc. By the way, I use cartos quite often and have never had an FSUSA juice that didn't taste (or should I say vape?) right in a carto.

I agree about not clogging atty's or cartos. WE is a dark juice and I have been using it in one 808 carto for so long that I have worn the color off of the end of the carto. I now have a copper carto that is also half white.

That's really funny! I've not used a carto that long, but I have used RY4 and RY5 in mega cartos and they still lasted at least 10 days (some longer).

I ordered a few flavors from Freedom Smoke USA a few weeks ago. I thought I'd review the flavors I received to give others an idea of my experience. It's always difficult for me to decide what flavors to try so maybe this will help others.

First of all, let me say that I received excellent customer service. All of the juices were pretty good. I would definitely recommend the company.

French Toast- Good flavor, excellent vapor production. Really tastes like French toast. The good thing about it is the lack of calories. The bad thing about it is it’s making me hungry for French toast and I’m out of eggs.

Applewood- I actually ordered this for my husband since he’s a fan of BWB’s Applewood. When I asked him to sample it, he said, “it’s ok” which translates into good. He is still an analog smoker and only vapes when he can’t smoke. He often gags on other flavors so the fact that this was “ok” to him is tantamount to a glowing review. I personally liked it, but I wouldn’t classify it as my all-time favorite. If you like applewood, you’ll like this.

Hazelnut- Very mild nutty flavor. This might be good for someone who still prefers tobacco flavors. When I asked my husband to try it, his response was, “fairly subtle” so I guess this puts it in the same category as the applewood. The flavor is not something that will knock your socks off, but it is a viable option for an all-day vape for folks who are not into fancy flavors.

Almond Turtle- This one is a bit more difficult to describe. It has a stronger flavor than the hazelnut, but still has that nutty flavor to it. It is definitely more on the sweet side though. I found the flavor really tends to grow on you.

Butterfinger- This is really good. It is a true Butterfinger taste. You get a smooth chocolate mixed with creamy peanut butter flavor. This is one of the better chocolate flavors I’ve tried.

SnickerZ- I may have just found the chocolate I’ve been looking for. This is a very rich chocolate flavor. It is much more intense than the Butterfinger. This is definitely worth trying if you are looking for chocolate.

Chocolate Strawberry- This was pretty good, but not as good as I expected. The chocolate was there, and the strawberry was almost there. I’m a big fan of BWB’s strawberry and this just didn’t compare. It didn’t really taste like fresh strawberries to me. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy this liquid but not as much as I had hoped.

Thin Mint Cookie- This was the biggest disappointment of the batch for me. If you like a very powerful mint flavor, then you will like this. Personally, I found the mint to be too overpowering. I really didn’t get the chocolate or the cookie that I expected. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I just received my first Freedom Smoke juice order. (YAY.) I was excited the most about receiving the Fireball. So far its the only one I have tried but decided to come and give my opinion of it. I like it. I ordered it with 2x the flavor since I'm using it in the tank and the tank tends to mute some of the flavors. It reminds me of cinnamon Trident gum, exactly but it's good.

I'll give my opinions of the other flavors as I try them. Thanks Freedom Smoke for a pleasant experience doing business with you!

OK. The fireball was nice but I cannot get the taste out of my tank and atomizer. I rinsed them both and did a halfway dry burn cleaning and its still there. Yikes

I bet it's because of the cinnamon taste. I don't use a tank, but I do have dedicated atomizers for some flavors. I use one atty for flavors like hopscotch, butterscotch, and butterfinger. I use another atty for RY4 and RY5, have another for fruit flavors, and still another for thin mint and chocolate flavors. Maybe I'm going overboard though; I'm a fairly new atomizer user (used to only use cartomizers).

That is probably a good idea with the different atomizers. I think you are also correct about the cinnamon taste. I have vaped this entire tank and I can still taste that fireball. How do you know the difference in the atomizers? I think I need little stickers to put on them. haha

I separate the bottles in groups (fruit flavors, RY4/RY5, thin mint, etc). Then I keep the atomizer that belongs to that group in front of it. Stickers are a better idea though. I bought a label maker to make labels for my cartomizers. I think I'll try this with the atomizers too.

I just received my order a few days ago...I love the 10ml bottles they gave me btw...the only flavor I've tried so far is the 555 menthol, I actually made this mix by accident before by mixing plain 555 in a menthol carto. I really like the mix it gives the juice a great throat hit and for me atleast really brings out the nutty flavor in the juice. The juice tastes best at 4.5 volts and up in my case, it's awesome on a virgin atty, but I've been vaping it happily all day on plaine boge cartos

Recently tried

French Toast: Lovely! Could vape it all day! Cinnamon dominates, and that's ok with me.

Lemon Tea: I didn't like this at 5v -- too much lemon, not enough tea. At 3.7ish it was much more balanced.

Black Pepper: This is very good indeed! Quite accurate and spicy. If you like savory vapes (or if you just like black pepper) I'd highly recommend this one! When I get some Roasted Chicken, I might add a touch of this to it.

Blueberry Pie: Pretty accurate flavor...not much crust though. This is similar to the Pancakes, but lacks the maplely overcooked edge of the pancake. I like it, but prefer the pancakes :)

Doublemint Gum - My main vape. Great flavor and vapor. Refreshing.

RY4 - Very flavorful. Lots of caramel to it. Good vapor.

Watermelon Strong flavor. Wicked throat hit. Great vapor. Flavor lingers in atomizer.

Cappuccino Smooth Great flavor, very satisfying. Good vapor.

Fat Tire Good flavor. All the taste of Fat Tire without the alcohol.

Lemon Drop Absolutely horrid imo. Doesn't taste like a lemon drop, tastes like a lemon peel. Also lingers in atomizer.

Wyatt Earp Good flavor. Complex. To me it's tobacco-ey with caramel and maybe whiskey undertones.

My son is stationed in Afghanistan and I got him a PV last month with lots of juice and this month I ordered some Bacon Fried and Peanut Butter Cup for him.
I've never tried the bacon so I dripped a bit in my atty before shipping it off,
Wow! I feel like I'm in that stupid dog commercial for BegginStrips,,,BACON,,,BACON,,,WHERE'S THE BACON,,,GOTTA HAVE BACON,,,MMMM,,,BACON! This stuff is excellent. I would NEVER had ordered it for myself but it is now going into my rotation.

The sample they sent with my order was Cumber Melon.
Now there is someplace I definitely don't want to go,
But you know what? Once again FSUSA has nailed it and the flavor is HONESTLY cucumber and honeydew mellon, Definitely!
And it's light and refreshing and full in the mouth and very good,
I don't know how it will be finishing the 3ml sample but this first drip in the ol' atty is wonderful

Very few juice flavors from various vendors have impressed me much. Some are blah and some are mediocre.

That said, if FSUSA ever stops selling RY5, I'm gonna grieve for a long while and probably need some therapy. For me, it's right up there with the famous juice named after a fictional Mandalorian.

Earp is good for a change of pace every now and then.

I have some RY5 that a friend gave me while I'm waiting on my FSUSA order. It's the only juice I've ever tried. I absolutely love it. It's kind a mix of coffee, and chocolate, and caramel and nuts. And a heap of other flavours. A great introduction to vaping. Even though I am now waiting on two orders from FSUSA (one due any day, one in a couple weeks) and don't know what I'll think of the other flavours I've ordered, my next order with DEFINITELY contain a big bottle of RY5.
