Ok, I'm gonna put up a few reviews. First, I have discovered I'm not a huge fan of tobacco flavors. Not a huge shock, as I didn't ever smoke straight tobacco analogs. I'm- or rather, I *was*- exclusively a Djarum Black smoker (after they banned them in the US I ordered them from Indonesia). I tried a whole truckload of clove varieties at first. Only one or two were keepers and they're not favorites.
I do have a sweet tooth, and I really like sweet, vanilla-y flavors particularly. I like a mild throat hit, lots of vapor, and so I suppose it's no huge surprise that I prefer at *least* 30% VG.
Want2Vape RY4- The one and *only* tobacco blend I like. It's amazing. Dark and has the feel of a potent, bittersweet dark chocolate without any actual chocolate flavor, if you know what I mean. Velvety. The caramel and vanilla are definitely there but don't make it super sweet. I mean, yes, it's sweet but it's not incredibly so; the sweet is mostly noticeable on the exhale. Intense and delicious. Excellent vapor. For sure one of my favorites. (All W2V's blends are 30VG/70PG, my personal sweet spot.)
Want2Vape Smokey Clove- This is my favorite clove, not because it's particularly like a Djarum black (it isn't) but because it's an *amazing* flavor. Complex, not remotely like licking a bowl of potpourri, and just right on the blend of clove vs. tobacco. I don't use it as an all day vape, it's a little too... much... for that, but it's really good. Not remotely artificial tasting.
Want2Vape Rockstar- a lighter, brighter version of RY4 according to their site. Yep, it is. Not really to my taste- I loved the dark quality of their actual RY4, and this is also less sweet and heavier on the bright-tobacco flavor IMO. Nevertheless, I can tell this is a complex and well blended juice… just not for me.
Essence Clove from ELiquidPlanet- One of the potpourri-like clove flavors. Too sweet, too clovey. Pass.
Essence Dreamsicle from ELP- Smells awesome, like an orange tic-tac, but almost entirely flavorless when actually vaped.
Essence Vanilla from ELP- Awful, awful, awful. Nothing like vanilla, very floral/spicy but not in a good way.
TastyVapor Vanilla Cheesecake- a 30VG/70PG blend sweetened. My absolute favorite that I've tried hands down. So, so good! It's super flavorful, very sweet and intense. Killer vapor. Mild throat hit (which I prefer). My one and only all-day vape; I tend to be a bit schizo about switching flavors a lot, but this one... this one I can commit to, haha. Very, very good. I clearly do not have enough flavors from this place so I have another bunch coming (as well as a TON of the Vanilla Cheesecake... since I vape anywhere from 6-11mg nic, their flavored-but-0mg nic "doubler" is a great deal for me as it's at least a quadrupler if not more with the 48mg bottle. I don’t find this flavor cloying at all, and my husband (who doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth) loves it too. All around winner! (Their customizable blends are a great idea too- that's what this one was.)
TastyVapor Geoff's Blend- Interesting. I hate cinnamon flavoring in anything except food, so the mild cinnamon in this is a bit of a turn off to me personally, but it's mild and really only comes out on the exhale. complex and fruity otherwise. If you actually like cinnamon, try it- it is definitely good! Sweet and intensely flavored.
TastyVapor Kretek- I got it unsweetened. It’s ....-kicking intense. Somewhat sweet even without sweetener. It’s the closest to a Djarum Black I have run across- it’s not just straight clove, there’s some tobacco in there obviously and it’s got perhaps some anise and other flavors. Still, it’s not a favorite of mine, but that's a personal taste thing, not a crappy-juice thing. If you're hunting for a Djarum Black flavor, definitely try it. It's not an absolute dupe, but it is the closest I've found for sure.
KickBassVapors, I must say before I write any individual reviews, that many of their juices taste very similar. It’s hard to describe- it reminds me of some of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab’s (a perfume oil vendor) vanillas that are right on the edge of smelling plasticky to me… Snow White comes to mind in particular. I am kind of indifferent to the “base flavor”- it’s just meh to my tastebuds. I really, really wanted to like KBV’s flavors but just wasn’t wild about any of them. YMMV.
KBV Momma’s Angel Wings Rice Pudding- my least favorite. It’s just this odd barely sweet, slightly toasted ephemeral flavor. It’s inoffensive, I’ll give it that. It’s not like I tried it and gagged or anything. The sort of flavor that you try and then wonder what on earth it is supposed to be. Unsweetened rice krispies?
KBV V-Spot Vanilla- the one I was the most excited to try in this order from them as I have disliked a lot of the vanillas I've tried. It’s a hint of really amazing creamy vanilla overpowered by the weird KBV taste. Double flavor, and glad I did, because it’s still a slightly weak flavor. The vapor smells just amazing and I wish the flavor was as good as the scent. Pretty good, I’ll probably keep this one.
KBV Strawberry Pie- Strong KVB generic base flavor, slightly sweeter than some, and a hint of strawberry. Meh. Extra flavor. It’s okay.
KBV Hummingbird Nectar- Well, there’s no generic KVB taste anyway, although it does relate to the others in that it’s a fairly mild flavor that was alright. It does have this… exceedingly odd… flavor however. A bit perfumey, not very sweet. Not an intense flavor by any means. Again, not offensive, I didn’t hate it but I didn’t really like it either, it’s okay.
KBV Birthday Cake- slightly sweeter KBV generic flavor. The only way I could tell it and Momma’s Angel Wings apart would be that MAW is not as sweet. Extra flavor. Again, majorly indifferent to it. It’s okay.
KBV WTF- Chocolate nut KVB base flavor. Extra flavor. Not strong. It’s okay.
KBV Peppermint JC- Faintly minty KBV base flavor. Regular, sans extra flavor. Not strong and the peppermint doesn't smack you over the head or anything. It’s okay.
KBV Cranberry LOL Bait A Sample- Now this, I really like. It doesn't have the KBVness thwapping me over the head. It has a very faint mintyness- very faint- which is a lovely subtle touch. The cranberry is bright but not overpowering. I'm not a huge fruit girl but this one, I can enjoy. I think I'd especially like it with extra flavor. I'll be using this little sample up, for sure, and hope they release it soon. I usually like fairly strong flavors but I enjoyed the light subtlety of this one. Sweet, but not too sweet.
QuickNicJuice's Apple Pie- 20VG/80PG. Awesome! An intense but not cloying smooth sweet apple, no major cinnamon hit (yay!) and it’s just a killer vapor producer. Surprisingly thin for the VG content but that does make it wick nicely. Second favorite after the TastyVapor Vanilla Cheesecake.
EliquidPlanet- I’m not going to review all the ones I tried individually. I would say that I found them, one and all, to be not so awesome and kind of expensive for what they are (exceedingly mediocre). Very artificial-flavor-y. Especially the Blackberry, the Vanilla, and the Cotton Candy. The Cream was…. interesting, as it was very unsweet and tasted like heavy cream quite exactly; while by itself the result of that was weird it mixes well with others. Their packaging is also inconsistent- some bottles are really, really full, some are not. Not sure if it’s the amount of liquid that differs, or the amount of liquid the bottles themselves hold. It’s definitely apparent that the bottle shape differs. Also, overpriced considering the meh quality IMO.
Aroma eJuice may have quality juices, I just didn’t happen to love the three I tried (clove, vanilla and RY4). Good flavor, not artificial tasting. The clove is a potpourri-variety one, nothing like a clove cigarette.
So, to sum up: TastyVapor is gonna be my go-to vendor. The fact that they are dirt cheap due to the “doublers” (really, quadruplers or more considering I use mostly low nic blends) really doesn’t hurt. That, however, isn’t why I love them so much- it’s the flavor, and the blend of VG/PG that really got me. I think some people- my sister, for example- could find their flavors cloying, especially if you're not big on sweets, but ohmigod, their flavors worked well for me!
I’m looking forward to trying the QuickNicJuice flavors I ordered, since I liked the one freebie they sent so very much.
KickBassVapor I *really* wanted to like considering their rep for being the go-to vendor for all things sweet and bakery related. Unfortunately, not for me. I did like some of their flavors well enough, I'll definitely keep the V-Spot Vanilla as it's the best vanilla I've found so far. I do think that the "KBV" flavor is either something that works great for you, or not. Looks like it works well for most- wish I was one of them! Prices are very good.
Want2Vape, with their process of extracting tobacco flavors, is clearly a vendor I want to try more from. Their RY4 is amazing! And the prices seem great considering their process isn’t just uncorking a Lorann’s bottle.
