Just a quick update for everyone who requested I solicit a particular vendor(s) for juice submissions:

Emails, or if email addresses were unavailable, msgs via the vendor websites, were submitted to the following vendors, per the requests made earlier in the thread:

Vape-A-Licious
KBV
Highbrow vapor
Backwoods Brew
The Vapor Room
Ms. Ts
E-Pipe Mods
Tasty Vapor

So far, the only response has been from The Vapor Room. They sent an email, very quickly I might add, saying they would be very happy to send some samples over. I will be sure to post if/when I hear from the other vendors that have been contacted.

Thanks again for the suggestions folks, and please feel free to keep 'em comin'.

Another quick update for the requested reviews from Sunday:

I received an email this morning from Highbrow Vapor and they indicated they would be happy to send along some samples for review. With that being said, I appreciate the input and I'd be happy to continue to hear more suggestions and requests for vendors (and even specific flavors) that you would like to see reviewed on the website.

As a side note, this morning I received my first set of samples from a UK vendor, which will serve to make the website a bit more useful to the EU readers. I plan to begin reviewing those juices immediately following a suitable steeping time.

I don't know if The Plume Room is on your list.... but if not, it needs to be. I ordered a bottle of peanut butter cream pie and got a few samples sent along with it..... the peanut butter cream pie is good, but I'm addicted to this honey fig tobacco. I'm gonna be shaky waiting for more to arrive.

Hmmm...Honey fig tobacco sounds very interesting. I am a big fig fan. They're in season right now too. I'll add them to the list, but with everything that I already have waiting for review, I'm taking a little time to catch up before getting my hands on any new juice. Tell me about the honey fig tobacco. Strong fig, or more of a background note? Natural tasting, or candied, like in a fig newton? Sounds like a very nice complimentary flavor to a honey/flue cured tobacco.

Another update on the Gandalf review...To make a very long story short, I got the new Serendipity flavor from HHV, rather than Gandalf. While the two flavors are similar, they are not the same and will require separate reviews. A replacement bottle of Gandalf is on the way from HHV but will require steeping (3 weeks or so) before it can be reviewed. In the meantime, I will continue to work on what I now know is Serendipity, and post that review when it is complete.

Wow thanks...i cant wait to check out your website. I'm pretty new at this and i've only tried about 15 or so juices so far. I have a whole bunch more on their way to me, but maybe your website will help me decide ones to go for and ones to skip in the future.

Thanks Robin and splifYphus...Take a look at the site, and as I've mentioned before, if you have any questions, feel free to ask away. Feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.

Hmmmm..... I'm not a fig eater, although I did like fig newtons. I don't even know how to begin to describe it. Starts more figgy and ends on a very smooth sweet honey.... it's slightly sweet, but very natural. The tobacco is there, but it's not in your face. I don't like tobacco in general but I do like this. I vape a LOT of bakery flavors, and this is a very very nice change. It's a strong sweet flavor but not overwhelming, and not sugary... the honey is distinct and much more earthy than my usual sweet stuff. I probably should have let it steep a bit being a tobacco, but I vaped a 6 ml sample in about 24 hours. I couldn't stop myself.

I also had some creamy mint which I never would have ordered or thought to vape cause mint tends to be strong. This is a sweet, refreshing, light mint. It's actually a perfect "don't know what the hell I feel like vaping" juice. It's like a couple mint leaves in a nice glass of water on a warm day.

When I get samples with my juice I'm usually thinking "no, really, you shouldn't have".... in this case, just based on the 3 juices I've tasted, I'm going to have to work my way through the entire line up.

PS... if you're looking for TH, definitely not a whole lot there.... I tend to shy away from TH and vape 6MG most of the time.

mmmm....I love me a good fig. I like to cut it in half, dip the exposed side in a little sugar, and carefully burn the top with a torch, a la creme brulee. Then I drop 'em in a salad with some good quality goat cheese, and...what were we talking about again? Oh right, juice.

I've got The Plume Room on my list, but even with a bunch of my last emails unanswered, I did receive a ton of juice and have, once again found myself buried under another mountain of juice that's awaiting my attention.

Throat hit is something that, in my personal vaping time, I like, but I don't think of as a requirement. So long as the flavor is there, I'm pretty happy. I think it's an important category to score since I know that without a good solid throat hit, some folks would end up back with the analogs, particularly new vapers, so I will always score it so those who need it, know where to go.

I've been working hard on the Pharmboy juice...Poached Pear has been written, edited and finalized. It will be in the next update. I have completed the rough draft of Sweet Mystery as well, but the chances of that being in the next update (which I hope to get to at some point tomorrow) are very, very slim. I'm currently vaping the CeeB but haven't even sat down to begin writing that one yet.

I'm also getting a bit concerned about the Provari...it's been having a few different issues and while I do have a Lambo v4 for back-up, I'm not particularly comfortable with the Ω meter on that, so I'd prefer not to use it for reviews unless absolutely necessary. As a result, I'm doing my best to get a few reviews in the bag, so to speak, in case the Provari is out for service...I'd rather not have the content on the website go stale while I'm waiting for Provape to get it back up to par. The thing is a total beast, but when it gets the kind of use I throw at it on a daily basis, it's not a shock to see it requiring service after less than 6 months of reviews.

Now I actually want a salad..... don't do salads much, but that sounds delicious.

I've never had the Sweet Mystery or the CeeB from Pharmboy. I've gone hrough quite a bit of the Poached Pear though.

I think my taste changed again because in the past month I'm leaning more and more towards fruits and light refreshing flavors. I was very heavy in bakery juices for quite a while.... interesting switch.
