Juice Review Thread??

Not open for further replies.
Just placed my 4th order with FSUSA ... absolutely love their juices! After reading through the 200 posts on this thread, I saw someone mentioned the Garlic Bread, but didn't review it ... it will probably make my next order along with the Bacon (I want to watch our dogs go nuts when they get a sniff of it....HeHeHe).

Anyway, I love licorice flavors, and JaegerBomb right now is my favorite (1x flavor), but also just reordered Strawberry licorice since that was great too.

Tried the Peppered Jerky ... wasn't bad, but seemed to taste better initially than after sitting a week or so. Won't reorder.

Cherry Cola (1x flavor) is fantastic, very true to flavor you would expect.

Orange Crush was so-so, but the Fuzzy Navel was excellent ... just reordered it with 1x flavor.

Love the PinaColada (also ordered 1x flavor).

I'm trying to get my son into ecigs, and just loaded up an ego-t with the Cowboy juice ... he say's it's okay, but not spectacular ... just ordered him a couple other "regular tobacco flavors" to try, so we'll see.

Ok, so I got my dozen samples from FSUSA and I'm still riding a 24mg 50/50 nic buzz for the ages. I wanted to try them all so that I could find the one I wanted and order it. I've got to say that some of these flavors are badass, and some others not so much. They threw in a Wyatt earp for good measure and I can't believe how fast it shipped from AZ to OH.

Purecig reviews:

Sherbert: 1/5 - Not great, tastes like I drank a strawbery kiwi smoothie and then puked it back up.

Zebra: 5/5 - Wow, Tastes like the yellow banana fruit stripe gum. May mix it with something more cherry or strawbery to get a less banana-y flavor, but it feels like I should be blowing bubbles when I exhale.

PureCig: 3/5 - not bad, expected it to be much more smokey. There isn't a whole lot of flavor to it. You know that taste you get when you've smoked so many analogs that you can't really taste them anymore? Yeah, it's like that. Black Licorice aftertaste

Pall Mall: 2/5 - Can anyone say "licking an ashtray?" After the initial ashtray taste goes away it's not terrible, slightly smokey-sweet with only a hint of ashtray. It is a fresh atty so there's some primer in there, I will try it again later. I wouldn't vape it all day though. I have a strong stomach and it's making me a little sick

American Spirit: 4/5 - I like this, a lot. it's spicy. Hint of cinnamon, Touch of vanilla, hint of light nutty. It's a fantastic flavor.

CamTel: 5/5 - coffee? It's a very woodsy-sweet with a touch of coffee and a very faint trace of (leather)? Slightly perfume-y aftertaste. Very complex flavor. Also the thinnest of the bunch. (Note: I think this flavor imprinted on my atty after only 4 drops)

Burley Tobacco: 2/5 - not pleasant. Since Camtel took over my white tester atty I popped this into a ce2 and man I cant believe I have to clean out this Ce2 again. Tastes like sweet, sweaty ashtray. Imagine if you ate a whole birthday cake, smoked a pack of analogs, then ran a mile and bottled the sweat. Yeah. It's tolerable but not pleasant. It's also the thickest of the juices by far. Note: you do get used to the flavor after a while so I guess I can vape it out of the carto. Those first few pulls tho were kinda gross.

Wyatt Earp: 4/5 - I thought the camtel had taken over my atty. It just turns out that there are a lot of similarities between these two. Same spicy inhale, This one has a lot more leather. It's powerful, my throat is still a little scratchy a minute after the inhale. I highly recommend this to any "tough guy" looking for a tough guy flavor. I did not expect to like it but it's complexity in the spicy leather with a touch of bourbon makes it a really great vape. Its powerful and tasty with a great finish and enough sweetness to appeal to people that may not ordinarily like a flavor like this.

555: 2.5/5 meh. It's not good but its not bad. I expected this to be an odds-on favorite but it's just peanut butter thrown in with a usa mix type tobacco. I can see why people like it, but thats all it is. Diluted peanut butter. Also very very thick.

Butterscotch Almond: 2.5/5 - Very similar to 555 but a little carmely sweet. Definitely not butterscotch. It's more like an overly sweet caramel with a tiny bit of almond candy flavoring.

Butterfinger: 4/5 - Lives up to its name but it has a touch of cocoa in there. Chocolate, buttery flaky pastry, and a touch of cocoa. Now that I think about it, they should rename this to the Zagnut because thats what it tastes like. Zagnut bar to a T. This is a very strong flavor and like camtel and earp, it will take over your atty until you clean it or vinegar it.

Pistachio Wonder and hypnotic mist will have to be covered when I have a fresh atty.

All flavors vaped on a USB ego batt with LR bauway attys that have been de-bridged.

Camtel will be bought in a bigger bottle and experimented with as an all day vape. American spirit and Earp are both fantastic as well.

Edit 1: Fresh carto, Pistachio wonder: 3/5 Not pistachio at all. Kinda like an odd peanut. Sweet aftertaste. Overall not bad. Very vapable, but not My favorite of the bunch. I thought it was leftover Zagnut in the atty, but nope, that's just how it tastes.

I promised I'd come back and review my first FSUSA order. So here it is (also posted in the juice reviews in the general review section)

Just thought I'd do a quick review of the first lot of juices I've tried, all from FSUSA. (all are 24mg, 50/50 pg/vg)

RY5: This juice made me stick with vaping. After 3 days of vaping something a friend had given me, I was ready to give it all away. I thought "if this is vaping, give me cigarettes". I was still waiting on my first FSUSA order (am in Australia, so it takes about 2 weeks). My fabulous local supplier (Mitch from "Love to Vape") kindly gave me some FSUSA RY5 to try. Finally, I understood why people vaped. It's a beautiful smooth vape, with a nutty/caramel/coffee/toffee/tobacco flavour. Absolutely gorgeous. I think it will become a favourite. This kept me vaping until my first FSUSA order arrived.

Caramel: This is a really smooth yummy vape. I've only used a tiny bit of it, but I'm going to mix it with my Espresso to sweeten it up a bit. A couple of drops of espresso and a couple of caramel makes it like a caramel latte. It's probably saved my from tossing out 60 mls of juice I wouldn't have been able to vape otherwise. I'll be ordering more to add to the rest of the espresso.

Espresso: Not a huge success for me. Probably great if you like your coffee black and no sugar. To me it tasted a bit "dirty". Too bitter for me. But combined it a bit with caramel and it was really nice - sweeter and very vapable. I don't think I'll order more of it (of course i assumed I'd love it because I love coffee, so ordered 60mls - idiot!) but I'll get more caramel or butterscotch to add to it and will be able to vape it til it's all gone.

Butterscotch: Really nice. Tasted just like butterscotch lollies. Nice and sweet but not overpowering. Would order again, depending on whether I prefer hopscotch (which I've received today so not yet tried)

Tiramisu: I've saved the best for last. This is seriously F&*k off good. I will be ordering a 120ml bottle of this in my next order. It's smooth, and it's seriously delicious. It tastes just like tiramisu
(which is my favourite dessert). You can clearly taste the chocolate, cream, the coffee liquour and the peanuts. Seriously, if you haven't tried it, try it. It's amazing.

Overall, I don't think I'll ever try another supplier. I'm so in love with FSUSA it's almost adultery.

Gradually getting through the loads of juice I've ordered from FSUSA, and reviewing them as I go.

Wyatt Earp.
Sample, 50/50, 24 mg
I got this as a free sample in my first order. Because of the reviews, I wasn't sure whether to try it. It seems people either love it or hate it. It didn't sound like my sort of thing, so I hadn't touched it. Someone in the FSUSA thread suggested I'd try it, and I took that as a challenge. So I tried it. Absolutely love it. It's my "morning with coffee" vape. An amazing taste that's hard to describe. Definitely aniseed in there, and some other delicious tobacco-ey flavours. Seriously love it. I've just ordered 60 mls.
9/10

Pina Colada
10mls, 50/50, 18mg
Only just cracked this open tonight. Really really good. Very subtle pineapple, cream, coconut - honestly, I wanted to drink it.
9/10

Hopscotch
10mls, 50/50, 18mg
I really wanted to love this, but when I first opened it, I didn't. It was ok, but nothing spectacular. Didn't have much flavour to it at all. I put it away for a while, and tried it again after my tastebuds were starting to come back after getting rid of the cigarettes. Really great flavour. Finally understood what everyone was talking about. Awesome butterscotch on the inhale, and an amazing rich butter on the exhale. Really smooth, loads of vapor. Just ordered 60mls
9/10

Smoke
10mls, 50/50, 24 mg
WTF was I THINKING???????????????? This was in my first juice order. I hadn't learned how to read reviews, or know what vaping was really like. My theory was 'I love sitting round a campfire, smelling the wood smoke. This will be a great first initiation into vaping" Holy crap this stuff was BAD. Have since read a review that likened it to inhaling wood varnish. This was before I knew that FSUSA juices really did taste and vape exactly like they were named. And that this would be like sitting over a campfire fueled by treated pine inhaling the pure smoke from it until I passed out. Or vomited. Or passed out in my vomit. It really is true to its name, and it really is a horrible horrible vape. I tried it last week (after I knew how lovely vaping could be) I gave it about 4 puffs. Then I looked at the bottle and thought "hmm, I need an empty 10ml bottle to mix my espresso and butterscotch." I poured the juice down the sink. No way was anyone going to want that. And yes, the bottle was worth more than the juice. Not even if there was no e-juice left in the world would I ever vape this.
Not even 0/10. Sorry. Just, no.

Mmc... you could always try the Newport i always have a 30ml on hand for those Menthol days!

Newport is my main vape...there are mixed feelings from people on this,,,but i hate the scope menthols!! I use to smoke newports and this definately was a deal maker for me to get away from smokes :)
Some hate this i guess it is different and not sooooo mentholly (if thats a word lol)
But this a main vape and has worked for me for a long while...sooo much i got the 120ml and never looked back

Cracked open two of the samples I ordered a while ago.

Applewood
3ml sample, 50/50, 24mg
I ordered this because it sounded interesting. Why did I wait so long to open it? Has fantastic vapor, good throat it, and tastes amazing. Apple is not overwhelming, just mild, and on the exhale it leaves a kind of buttery aftertaste, which I just love. I'll definitely be getting a bigger bottle of this. I can see it being added to my list of regular vapes.

Awesome. Try it! 9/10

Purecig
3ml sample, 50/50, 24mg
Ok, I ordered this one in my ongoing attempt to knock off those last 3 analogues I'm still smoking a day. This was before I discovered Wyatt Earp. I thought today I'd give it a go. I knew it had received very mixed reviews, and many people hated it, but Wyatt Earp was the same, and I ended up loving that, so I went into it with an open mind.

First few puffs I couldn't taste anything at all. Nothing. Bit disappointed. By about the 5th puff I thought "Ah, here comes the flavour". 6th puff got full flavour. Wanted to turn back time to the first 4 puffs. GACK!!!! This was something I could only describe as a combination of bitter, sweet, sour and the contents of my 3 year old's nappy. Picked up the bottle and managed to simultaneously throw it in the rubbish bin while frantically dismantling my PV to screw back on my atty and cart with Wyatt Earp in it.

I'll be polite and say it is "not to my palate" 1/10

Posted this in the review forum and figured I would put it here for other FSUSA fans : )

All dripped using a standard 510 atomizer.

Gummy Bears 36 mg 50/50

Sniffed the bottle and got a definite spot-on gummy bear scent, like any generic bag of gummy bears. TH was very good with this as well. Taste was also exactly like gummy bears. Good vapor. This is something I will order again in a bigger bottle.

Bubble Gum 24mg 50/50

Sniffed, smelled exactly like Bazooka bubble gum. Moderate TH, great vapor, tastes just like Bazooka. Good flavor for when I want to switch things up.

Pineapple Express 24mg 50/50

Sniffed it, got a fizzy pineapple/banana scent. Moderate TH/vapor. This was one I had to taste several times. I couldn't pick out any one taste overpowering another. It was mild and fizzy. Not overly sweet or powerful. This is probably perfect for someone who doesn't want something overly sweet or fruity.

Pepsii 24 mg 50/50

Sniffed it, sweet fizzy cola smell. Good TH, mod vapor. Tasted like sweet, fizzy cola. Not exactly like Pepsi, but definitely had the sweet element of Pepsi. I was actually drinking Diet Pepsi at the same time I was vaping this : P My taste buds might have been a bit biased, lol.

Apple Pie 36mg 100% PG Extra Flavor

Sniffed it, smelled buttery pie crust more than anything else. This was a flavor I had tried before and not been crazy about at first, but over the course of a week it really grew on me. Very good TH, obviously not a ton of vapor at 100% PG, but enough for me. Strong buttery pie crust flavor with apples and cinnamon underneath. Not my all day vape, but nice. Glad I ordered it again. I ordered the extra flavor hoping more apple would come through, but the buttery pie crust is definitely the most powerful element.

Kiwi 24mg 50/50

This was my free sample. Sniffed it, had a mild kiwi smell. Mild, sweet kiwi taste. Not something I would have picked on my own, but definitely tastes like kiwi. Moderate TH, good vapor.

Voodoo 36mg 50/50

Ok, so this has been my all day vape for awhile : P But the TH is excellent and I find that this particular flavor definitely banishes any cig cravings if I happen to have one. It's sweet, but not overly sweet. Fruity and definitely tangy. Maybe a hint of menthol. I noticed I found it under their specialty tobacco flavors last time I ordered. This surprised me, because it doesn't taste like any other tobacco I've tried. Maybe the tobacco is the element of this that is so mysterious : P It's hard to say just what this tastes like.

Had a regular, long time Marlboro Red smoker try it without describing the taste to her first. It was in a cartridge at that time and she said "That's just like a cigarette. If I switch to ecigs, this is what I want." I was baffled by her response to it because to me it's not like a cigarette and yet it really takes care of any analog cravings.

Read the comments on the Purecig, Newport, and Espresso. Purecig was not so great to me at first, but a few weeks later I tried it again ( same bottle ) and I definitely got the "ashy" taste of a cigarette. It wasn't too terrible. Not something I will order for myself, but better than some other cig-a-likes I have tried. Newport does not taste like a newport to me, but it wasn't bad. More of a spearmint flavor. I have to agree with Espresso. Was not my cup of tea (coffee?). But then again, I suppose espresso is supposed to be strong. Adding something sweet to it definitely makes it more vapeable. Lol..Wyatt Earp. I ran out of juice and I vaped it one night because, well, I had to. It didn't make me want to vomit or grab a real cigarette, but I was happy when my juice order came in. To me, it tastes like soap. Others have said black licorice. I personally hate black licorice. That said, it was better than other juices I've tried and if it was the only ejuice left in the world...and there were no cigarettes..I could vape it.

American Spirit: 4/5 - I like this, a lot. it's spicy. Hint of cinnamon, Touch of vanilla, hint of light nutty. It's a fantastic flavor.

CamTel: 5/5 - coffee? It's a very woodsy-sweet with a touch of coffee and a very faint trace of (leather)? Slightly perfume-y aftertaste. Very complex flavor. Also the thinnest of the bunch. (Note: I think this flavor imprinted on my atty after only 4 drops)

Burley Tobacco: 2/5 - not pleasant. Since Camtel took over my white tester atty I popped this into a ce2 and man I cant believe I have to clean out this Ce2 again. Tastes like sweet, sweaty ashtray. Imagine if you ate a whole birthday cake, smoked a pack of analogs, then ran a mile and bottled the sweat. Yeah. It's tolerable but not pleasant. It's also the thickest of the juices by far. Note: you do get used to the flavor after a while so I guess I can vape it out of the carto. Those first few pulls tho were kinda gross.

I did not expect to like it but it's complexity in the spicy leather with a touch of bourbon makes it a really great vape. Its powerful and tasty with a great finish and enough sweetness to appeal to people that may not ordinarily like a flavor like this.

555: 2.5/5 meh. It's not good but its not bad. I expected this to be an odds-on favorite but it's just peanut butter thrown in with a usa mix type tobacco. I can see why people like it, but thats all it is. Diluted peanut butter. Also very very thick.

Butterscotch Almond: 2.5/5 - Very similar to 555 but a little carmely sweet. Definitely not butterscotch. It's more like an overly sweet caramel with a tiny bit of almond candy flavoring.

Butterfinger: 4/5 - Lives up to its name but it has a touch of cocoa in there. Chocolate, buttery flaky pastry, and a touch of cocoa. Now that I think about it, they should rename this to the Zagnut because thats what it tastes like. Zagnut bar to a T.

Supplemental reviews 5/15

Pink Lemonade: 4/5 Very good. Lemonade with a touch of raspberry, Tastes exactly like its supposed to, but a little too much lemon, could be sweeter.
Rose: 3/5, Exactly what I expected, tastes like a flower petal. The only reason it's not a 4 is because the TH is SO BRUTAL you really can't taste the flower. A little weaker, maybe 100%vg, would help big time.
Cream Soda: 2/5. Tastes like a super-flat combination of cream soda and root beer. I guess I wish they could replicate the carbonation somehow because flat cream soda just doesn't do it for me. It could be so much better, maybe a little less sweetener and some kind of carbonation.
Chocolate Banana: 2/5, If you like chocolate and bananas you'll like it. The banana flavor is natural and not a "runts candy" type, but the mix isn't appealing to me. It leads me to believe that I'd like a "banana bread" or cream pie type juice from FSUSA but I've never been a huge chocolate fan, and I'm not fond of this mix at all.

I just got VooDoo as a sample in my delivery this morning. Vaping it right now and it has the best TH of any of the juices I've tried so far! I would describe it as a balanced fruit with cinnamon or perhaps clove in it. There is a mild heat as well - perhaps a touch of a hot pepper but so light you only get a bit of heat but not the flavor. I normally have to bypass anything hot-peppery but this is so subtle that it is pleasant to me. Could possibly be the heat from cinnamon. I don't detect any menthol or mint. Even though I am a hardcore mint/menthol lover, as of right now, this just became my favorite vape!

Just got a sample of honey. By itself it's really really sweet. Perfect for a sweet tooth and it'll go great with whiskey or tea. It'll also make a fantastic mixer to sweeten up some juices. 9/10 out of the box. They also gave me a sample of Apricot, and while I'm not a huge fan of apricot or peach, I'll try it and review it.

New FSUSA Reviews:

Forest Fruit: 4/5 - Tasty. Sweet. Can't Place the particular fruit flavor. I expexted it to be like a generic fruit punch, but it isn't. It's very very very sugary, but worth trying to experience the sweetness for yourselves.

Fruity Paradise: 3/5 - Very tangy. Similar to the laffy taffy flavor but minus the hint of banana. Good if you like sour.

Watermelon: 4/5 - Legit watermelon flavor, not Jolly rancher. Not as powerful as the awesomevapor or Volcano watermelons, but good; and significantly cheaper.Stuck to my 306 atty for a while and took a couple drip sessions of unflavored PG to get it off.

Almond: 5/5 - Awesome. It tastes kinda like cracker jacks with less toffee. Very sweet, and I thought I'd want a little less sweetness this flavor pulls it off very well. It's like a combination of almond and some sugary candy. If someone were to name the candy that it tastes like, I'd remember it; but I can't quite place the sweeter flavor. It's very good tho.

Caramel Apple: 2.5/5 - Another flavor that's difficult to describe. It absolutely has a caramel apple vibe. More caramel than apple, but neither flavor is very distinct. It's like someone put a caramel apple into a blender and drank it like a milkshake. Significantly more candy like and less "real" than the other fruit flavors. Not one I'd buy for myself. Was a free sample

Caramel (regular): 3/5 - While I would rather vape this than caramel apple, it is definitely half of the flavor of caramel apple (The caramel half? Whooooooa!) It's a very weak flavor. Maybe it needs to steep? But it's a pre-mixed sample? Hmm. Not a bad flavor but I most likely won't get it again. Not much TH or kick even on the 1.5ohm LR atty. More like a caramel tobacco than just a caramel.

Wintergreen: 4/5 - Wow. Let me start by saying that this is a very potent mint, but it's not wintergreen. It's peppermint and speramint mixed together. It's an excellent cool/winter breathmint flavor and just pwned my atty, but if I wanted peppermint I would have just bought peppermint (which I may do after trying this).
