I ordered the signature sample pack from 5P on Thursday and came today. So the no price for 2 day shipping is clutch. So far I've only had grandmaster and queenside. Both are great. Is it worth $28 for 30ml? Well the fact that it's free 2 day shipping definitely softens the blow. The 2 juices I tried aren't better quality than other premium juice I've had, that said there's no denying these 2 are amazing vapes and I will be reordering. It's worth it.

Ok so I've tried all of them. Grandmaster is the best by a LONG shot. Queenside is my second favorite. Gambit is the best apple pie flavor I've ever had but it's not amazing. Bowmens is way too minty, I can't even taste the chocolate. Absolute pin is interesting, it's spot on to the description which is cool since it's pretty complex but I don't like it.

Sooner or later you will discover the "5 Pawns background flavor" its hard to pin down, something like a dusty attic. Ive found it just about all their juices. My Castle long has been steeping witha 3 times a week good shake for 5 months now, and is just now coming around.

I started a thread yesterday about my five pawns experience. I received 30 ml, 18 mg nic, Gamit and Castle Long (it was bottled about three months ago). Both leave me with a flavour that turns my stomach. I'll let it steep for another month a try it again. One thing that I've learned in my vaping journey is that taste is so subjective that it's almost impossible to base a personal juice purchase decision on other peoples experience and recommendations. The only way that you're going to know whether a juice is good or bad, according to your own palate, is to vape it.

I've heard all kinds of differences in tastes from people. Its just the person's taste buds. Oh, btw, I love liver as a meat.

Lol. So do I! There's nothing like a fresh pan fried calf liver, lightly breaded; I also like spinach and I drink Scotch :p
I think that the only way that e-juice reviewers opinions become valid and appropriate to you is to try what they say appeals to them and if the same holds true for yourself, that reviewers recommendations become more appropriate to your own palate.

Hmmmmm.... perhaps I enjoy their juices because it brings back happy memories from going up into my grandmothers attic??? ;-)

I find it so funny how varied our taste buds can be. I love 5 pawns, I know a lot of folks that don't. There are some folks at work who SWEAR by MVB Blueberry; Try as I might, I can't stand the stuff. Also odd how one flavor can be AMAZING today, but horrible the next. Set it aside for for three days and it AMAZING again!

I hear ya Kenbu. I sometimes find that my taste will change throughout the day! What tasted good in the AM becomes bland or has a more disagreeable flavour in the afternoon. That's why I normally have three or four glassomizers loaded with different juices, at any one time. First thing in the morning I WANT TOBACCO FLAVOUR and in the evening I might go with something a little lighter, something dessert-like. Also, I need to be careful not to jump to conclusions or formulate an opinion too quickly. Occasionally, I'll vape a new juice and think "this is awful," but the next day it seems more pleasant. Of course, the opposite reaction holds true as well. Lol. At least we can't claim that vaping is dull or boring :laugh:

One thing I learned early on, BEWARE of juices that you LOVE on the first drag. I've found so many that were IMMEDIATELY likable, only to find they were absolutely awful after a few ML I suspect the ones that I immediately enjoy are probably over flavored for the long haul.

I tried to convert a smoker buddy a few months back and gave him the advice to avoid juices he immediately liked and pick out ones that were "just ok" AND pick out a few very different flavors. Of course he completely ignored me and bought ONE bottle of the first juice he liked. Three weeks later he handed me the mostly unused bottle and 6 months later it still sits under my sink. I've heard this is one of that brands biggest sellers, but tastes more like moldy wall paper paste to me.
