LT Ecigs (or others)

[Codz]

I know a few of you use LT quite a lot, and having tried a couple of flavours from them i am going to get a few more, and in particular wanted some nice fruity menthols so wondered if you can recommend any. I really dont like mixed berry type flavours, and cant stand banana so they are off the cards. I'm not keen on overly sweet syrupy type fruits either, so just a nice fresh tasting menthol with fruit would be ideal.

My previous favourite menthol was blackurrant choons from bumblebee, but doesnt seem to taste as nice these days. Anyhow, if you have any recommendations from LT or other vendors for the type of menthol described above that would be appreciated. I mention LT simply because of their prices and i know how popular they are with a lot of people here.

Depends if you want a sweet one or a tart one ....the LT Fresh (lime) or Lemon fresh ones are tart and have a taste of the zest, the ones like Peach Fresh or Silky Peach Fresh & Champus Fresh are sweeter: This is the 'fresh' range: Search - fresh

Then there's the menthol ones. (I've had the Ultra Menthol and it's good) :Search - menthol
and the 'cool' ones (I've had a few of these): Search - cool

Hmmmm.

You know I like LT?

There are a few I would not recommend. BLM was quite horrible, and so was another that might come back to me.

I would go with the Tropicana, the Fresh Peach and the Fresh Sex! (yes... I know)

The LT "Grapefruit" is one of the most realistic fruit flavours I have ever vaped. If they can't mix that with some menthol for a cracking vape, we may as well all go home.

At the moment, I am "smarting" from giving away 4 virtually unused bottles in one foul swoop at Vapefest. Don't know what went wrong...just took a chance on 4 Inawera Tobaccos and they were all quite revolting.

However, I have these in my basket and am not worried....

Caramel Deluxe 30ml
Caramel and Coconut flavour concentrates
Fluffy Lemon, Sunset Virginia, Basil's Custard, Caramel Custard 10ml.

The only risky one is the Sunset Virginia.

What's BLM? I've had a couple I didn't like a lot.

Apart from the Fresh Peach, I haven't had the others - what fruit taste do you get with them?

I've also had Fresh Mint and it's nice with the Ultra Menthol for a change now and then.

Is the Grapefruit one of the zest tasting citrus ones? I liked the Lime and the Lemon ones, but had a bit too much sharp/bitter zest after a while. A grapefruit/menthol does sound nice ..and perhaps a drop or two of Koolada!

I've had the Caramel Deluxe, Basils Custard and Caramel Custard - all nice! The Caramel Custard mixes well too (chocolate, tobacco, coffee, vanilla, custard etc.)

Sorry to jump in on this, but alongside the mentholly fruity flavours, what else would you definitely recommend from LT? Probably going to order some from there soonish as people here rate them. In generalm how "fresh" are the fresh flavours? i.e. how much of a menthol taste do they give? a hint? a smack? a bludgeon?

Thanks

If 1 is just a tiny hint, 2 is noticeable, 3 is quite menthol and 4 is bludgeon, I'd say somewhere between 2 and 3. About half way.

If BLM is blackcurrant licorice menthol then id be avoiding that one too - i really like blackurrant & licorice, or blackurrant menthol, but not all 3 combined!

Lime menthol and grapefruit sound like good options - I'll get a bottle of each of those with my next order. I used to really like straight menthol, but gone off that now and really need a bit of fruit in there to liven it up, nothing too sweet though I had some nicquid smoothol in a zamplebox, which i thought was going to be nice, but creamy & menthol didnt go too well together. Just had a look at the fresh sex and i'll have to try that too, no the best of names tho!

Ah! that could be the Cool King Black: Blackcurrant, menthol & Licquorice. I actually liked the sound of that one.

Edit - just found the BLM: LT BLM 10ml. Blackcurrant, Liquorice and Menthol Taste The other must be the tobacco type one.

I seem to be getting that way with menthol ...needs something like fruit in it. I did wonder about creamy menthols - suppose I could satisfy curiosity by adding a bit of cream or vanilla to some just to see ....
I'd like to know what fruit taste is in the FS. I'm assuming the Tropicana has either pineapple or banana in it ..neither my favourites

 

[djsvapour]

D'oh.

No wonder I never liked BLM. I thought I'd ordered a simple blackcurrant menthol.

...whoops...

This appears to be the one with just blackcurrant/menthol B Fresh 10ml

I'm with you on the anti-banana taste. the only liquid i have liked where banana has been involved was peoples vape: cosmonaut, but it does have quite a lot going on. I have about 15ml of blueprint A-Train left, which is predominantly pineapple - it's ok, not great but nowhere near the pure evil of a banana flavoured liquid.

As it seems i cant get any of the seduce juice snake oil i think i may have to go back to an old favourite: Grizwalds Gourmet Apple n Pear Torte that along with Gravity from Nicoticket are my favourite fruit based liquids at the moment

haha, are there any liquids you wouldnt add custard / vanilla too? (apart from custard or vanilla of course!)

I'll never know why, but a while ago, I got a 15ml bottle of Nicoticket Banana Pudding ...knowing I don't like banana ones, knowing it had too much PG in it! Must have been a moment of madness. I can say from the small amount I did try, the banana is very realistic not overly ripe bananas ..but I still wouldn't use it again!
Still, I know someone who does like it and has done me a favour or two! As for pineapple ..it's a sort of 'ack' taste to me after a few puffs.

I managed to get some Gravity VG from NT but still haven't tried it - I hear it's hard on coils ..how do you find it?

Well, adding a bit of custard or vanilla can be a game changer and give a two for the price of one sort of thing Nice to use up any less than fantastic fruit ones too I think. The Vanilla Ice Cream ones are good mixers too.

Hard on coils is exactly right - When i put it in my carto tank i get about half the life out of the carto that i normally would. Its bad on coils even compared to something like GVC which is quite thick and gloopy.

Gosh! even worse than I expected! Sort of puts me off trying it! - I probably will though!

Despite how it eats through coils it is worth it - lovely juice, very fresh tasting and not too sweet

I thought i had just had bad luck with the carto first time around, but it happened twice more and i've heard similar stories about it clogging various coil types. If my nautilus was working as it's supposed to that would be ideal for it - bottom coil clearos always seem to fair better with these kind of juices than other types.

I'll probably put it in a mini Unitank or Protank2 then If it's that nice, I must try it!

It says this on the NT website page for Gravity:

* Tastes great in well maintained clearomizers (Protank, Protank 2, Kanger T3S, CE4) - note - well maintained. This is a very SWEET liquid - sweetener translates into increased coil buildup that may be intolerable for newer vapers that want to maximize the life of stock coils. Regular (even daily) maintenence including an overnight soak in PGA/Vodka, a warm water rinse, and a dry burn may be required to get peak performance out of a clearomizer. Users are very much encouraged to visit us on either ECF or Nu-Vapor and inquire about rebuilding heads with cotton wicking for better performance.

* Very clear - more than clear enough for a carto w/ or without a tank

* Tested extensively on 500mesh (RSST). Flavor was exceptional after a short break-in period with a fresh unoxidized wick.

* Changes flavor profiles with changes in wattage - experiment with it.

I'm suprised they describe it as very sweet. Compared to several of the juices i got through zamplebox i wouldnt call it sweet at all. I just got too many super-sweet juices through zamplebox - to be honest there was very little difference between them, just a ridiculous sweetness that in most cases was just like vaping sugar, with a bit of artificial fruit flavouring added - in other words, horrible! Gravity isnt like that at all, the flavourings taste natural (even if they arent) and you actually can taste each of the fruits in there properly as there isnt the overpowering sickly sweetness of so many other juices i've tried.

 

[Pictor]

It sounds very good! I'll have to try it very soon

I've only been able to properly try the NT fruit ones that have a VG option, but the ones I have tried are very realistic. Can't say anything of theirs I've had are overly sweet either - perhaps they're comparing it to some of their other fruit ones ..perhaps it has more sugars in it yet doesn't actually taste too sugary - whatever, it's obviously a really good one!
I have the Band Camp apple pie one and the Humming Bird cranberry/lychee - both very good, and not at all overly sweet in my view.

I'll put some in a Kanger single coil one - the coils are cheaper, so I don't mind if it doesn't last too long!

Hey guys, just thought i would jump in here re: LT`s liquids. I have tried many over the months, too many to remember But 2 of them jump to mind, and they are the grapefruit and the capucinno. I would honestly put the cappucinno on par with vapology`s and as for the grapefruit, it tastes so lovely and fresh, just like drinking a glass of freshly squeezed.
