I've been thinking back on when I first found NLV. I don't remember where I heard about it but at the time it was almost never in stock. I had been burned by rave reviews of other liquids and really just wanted small samples of Gold and Bounty Hunter. I hooked up with this group but took everything with a grain of salt. Obviously I ended up liking them, but honestly there are a few NLV flavors that don't suit me. But, I am still very supportive of the brand and will continue to at least try anything they come out with.
Maybe I have simple, unsophisticated taste but there's plenty of market for us.
I remember trying all of Mad Murdock's stuff and wondering how anyone could like some of those, but plenty of people did (and do) and I respect that - and Murdock is a great guy and great member of the community.
AVE is a favorite of mine too, not just because of the product but because Ben and Christie are great people... I watched them get flamed and fried when Ben had personal issues arise and supported them throughout.
Backwoods Brew is another one that, although I don't buy much from anymore, I would defend because Don is another one I have a ton of respect for.
There are several others I could pledge some sort of allegiance to, but as I'm sure is obvious by my "1 of 5" status, Gene and NLV is one vendor who has my respect and support.
So, here's an honest rundown of my NLV experience.
Gold is my favorite, tying sometimes with Bounty Hunter.
Harbor Nite comes in next.
Tappulles would have to squeeze in just below HN I think, and honestly those are the only ones in my "gotta have it" roundup from NLV.
I didn't much care for Twilite and Waffles, either together or separately.
Red Apple was kind of a sleeper for me, I'm not a big fruity vape fan but it smelled so good I had to give it a fair shake. I ended up liking it OK, a bit more than I thought I would since it (to me) has a sort of dry flavor that I like.
Cold Creek.. well it's menthol... I don't get much difference between pure menthols from different vendors so... it's menthol.
Fruit3 and Tropikeyta... Not much to compare them to (see above disclaimer re: not a fruity vape fan). I like them as much as I'd expect. Same goes for Bluberry Beach. not exactly my cup of tea but I haven't given it much of a chance.
As far as Line Rider, Renegade, and NLV4ya I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't dislike them... usually if someone mentions any similarities with a 555 or a RY4 I run the other way. I probably wouldn't have these as an ADV, but they're good for a change for me.
I can't really comment yet on Tobanna or Butterscotch because I haven't given them much attention.
So there it is, my honest experience with NLV. As always, YMMV. I hope the "other 4" don't run me out of here now
