The chocolate is delicious--but it cracked my plastic tank! Looks like Lucky 7 chocolate is headed for my Protank.


That's weird, I don't think I've ever heard of a chocolate flavor damaging a tank .... it's usually citrus, cinnamon and maybe licorice, root beer, cola types of flavors.

Received the following flavors from LUCKY 7 VAPES

Banana Blast - nice runts candy banana flavor but not overly sweet

Chocolate Caramel - chocolate is a kind of nutty flavor w/ smooth caramel undertone

Strawberries and Cream - candy strawberry flavor not overly sweet plus gentle hit of the cream makes this a very smooth vape to me

Caramel Apple - faint green apple taste on inhale w/ mild and smooth caramel on exhale


prior order included

Tiger's Blood - nice mild fruity vape has become my ADV

Caramel Cappuccino - smooth caramel candy with a creamy coffee undertone

I am a 4 pot a day coffee drinker and find most coffee flavor vapes to be very weak in the flavor of coffee but not this one


HOPE this helps some one

VAPE ON !!!!!!!

I made an order on March 5th and it was delivered today. Whatever production problems they had before seems to be history. Took just under than 7 days from order to delivery (I ordered at 11 O'clock at night). I didn't get a sample flavor but all of the liquids were VERY well packaged in heat-sealed plastic bags palced in a styrofoam peanut filled box. No leakage.

Haven't tried any yet but so far the only one that smells bad is the Caribbean Breeze, but a little airing out and some steep time may take care of that. It may just be a flavor that tastes better than it smells. I'm hoping, because the flavors from Virgin Vapor that smell awful also taste awful. We'll see.

The Pina Colada smells so good I plan to vape it as soon as I finish the MBV Hawk Sauce in my dripper.

I straightened it out with soonerfan and told him that the chocolate tastes more like soda than chocolate.

I got my order #1878 today which was all 120ml bottles at 6mg nic. The flavors are Banana Blast, Sweet Watermelon, Bavarian Cream and Blackberry. So far I have tried the Banana Blast only using a Lambo 6 APV set at 15 watts with an IGO-W duel coil at 1.2 ohms and cotton wick. I am also using a 2 hole top cap with 3/32" holes. It has produced a good amount of vapor, very good taste, great smell when vaping and decent throat hit. I will buy more of this once I try the others later today. I will try a couple of the other flavors mentioned here as good as well.

Okay, so four 120ml bottles came in today, and here are my initial impressions:

First, the packaging was appropriate. Each 120ml was individually wrapped so that if any of them leaked the mess would be contained. There was no leaking, however, but I appreciate the precautionary measure.

Second, each of the 120ml bottles came with a regular cap and an additional cap with a drip spout and cover. The spout needed to be cut with scissors. I've received other similarly sized bottles from other vendors who did not provide such a cap. Nevertheless, this impressed me.

Third, smelling the open bottles, they ALL smelled really, really good. Most of us know that smell does not necessarily indicate that a juice will be good or bad, but I still appreciate it when the liquid smells good.

Okay...the details. I got the following 120ml bottles at 18 mg nic and 50/50:

1) Pomegranate
2) Banana Blast
3) Strawberries and Cream
4) Orange Cream

For testing purposes I used a Trident clone with a 1.3 Ohm micro coil with cotton on a Provari mini at 4.3 volts; I'm doing mouth to lung inhales.

Pomegranate: By far, this juice has the clearest color of the four juices. The taste is neither overpowering nor light. My favorite pomegranate juice is Pom Beach from Niquid, which has a slight strawberry undertone to it; this juice from Lucky 7 tastes like straight pomegranate flavoring. It's not bad, but I wish that it had some complexity to it; it's neither tart nor sweet. Nothing "pops" about it. It might need just a tad bit more flavoring, in my opinion, but it's still a pleasant vape. I'm doing mouth to lung hits on with the Trident clone, and I'm not getting much throat hit; however, I'm not a throat hit kind of guy, so that's perfect for me. The vapor production is not lacking. Bottom Line: Would I buy this again at $8.99/120ml? Yes.

Banana Blast: The color on this is about the same as the Orange Cream - a light orange color. The smell really "pops," though it has that candy type smell, which is fine since I enjoy both more natural banana flavors and more candy banana flavors. The flavor, however, seems to me to be a mix of natural and candy banana flavor. I like it. This has more throat hit than pomegranate, and the vapor production seems a bit better, too. Vaping on it some more, it's almost like it has a more natural taste on the inhale and a more candy taste on the exhale. Again, I'm digging this. By no means is this the best banana juice that I've had, but it's far from being the worst. I've had other banana juices that took a long time to steep before blooming, while this one is "ready to vape" straight from the mailbox. Bottom Line: Would I buy this again at $8.99/120ml? Yes.

Strawberries and Cream: Okay, so the color on this one is more of an amber, and the smell is nice, though there is a hint of that perfumey/alcohol scent that some of us have come to know all too well. This mixes well with the Banana Blast, for starters, since I had to try that. Neither the strawberries nor the cream stand out as being exceptional, but it's okay. So far, this is the one that I think might benefit most from steeping, but we'll see. The throat hit is solid, and the vapor production is adequate. I'd like to taste a bit more fresh strawberry and a richer, yet light, cream. Bottom Line: Would I buy this again at $8.99/120ml? Yes - if only to mix with Banana Blast. EDIT: This one might be a good candidate, for me, for extra flavoring or a so-called "flavor shot." Second Edit: I just tanked this up in a Kayfun 3.1 clone and, while the taste is better than in the Trident clone that I used for my initial review, I still think that the particular bottle that I received could benefit from a tad bit more flavoring - it's not bad whatsoever, just a bit on the subtle side - which someone else might like very much (this reminds me of how I find Alice in Vapeland juices to be on the subtle side, yet many people seem to prefer this).

Orange Cream: This has nearly an identical light orange color to Banana Blast. I've been DIY'ing my own Orange Cream for a while now, and the smell seems very familiar...so does the flavor. However, this is solid. I'd like to taste more citrusy goodness and some vanilla in the cream - more complexity over all, really, but again this is solid. It's a simple Orange Cream with a decent throat hit and very good vapor production. Bottom Line: Would I buy this again at $8.99/120ml? Yes.

Final Thoughts

Pomegranate was the least impressive, but Pom Beach by Nicquid has set a high bar for my standards. Even so, at these prices, the flavor is better than I've been able to DIY for myself, and it's not bad whatsoever. Stawberries and Cream comes in next as being decent, but nothing special - except for the price, which totally justifies getting it. Banana Blast and Orange Cream impressed me the most, but primarily because I didn't expect either to be very good. Banana Blast smells amazing and seems to be a nice balance of fresh, natural, and candy banana flavors, while Orange Cream is really nothing special except a solid orange cream at an incredible price. I can list numerous orange cream juices that are better, but none of them come close to the price that I paid for this offering by Lucky 7. The bottom line here, for me, is that Lukcy 7 has delivered decent juice at a very compelling price. Since I am trying to spend less on juice, but don't want to sacrifice quality, Lucky 7 seems like a good fit for me at this point, the saving that I get from DIY and great deals like this from Lucky 7 will afford me the luxury of buying more premium juices. I have already ordered a number of other flavors at the current $1.99/12ml price for me to try. At these prices do I expect totally amazing complex flavors? No, but Lucky 7 has not marketed itself as such. Did I expect decent flavors? Yes, and - for me - Lucky 7 delivered on that; these four flavors, at least in my opinion, are better tasting that Mt. Baker and are far less expensive.

Well, it has been a week, so I figure that it's time for a followup to my initial impressions.

At this point, I have - by far - vaped Strawberries & Cream the most of the four...more than the other three combined, actually. Banana Blast has lost any hint of natural fruit and has become all candy (I like all sorts of banana flavors, so that's fine with me). Orange Cream hasn't changed much - it's not bad, but this flavor has been one of those that I've had an extremely difficult time finding the absolutely perfect mix for me; I would still probably order this one again for the sake of convenience and price, but I'm also going to continue to try to DIY with the hopes of finding the perfect recipe for me. Pomegranate...okay, so of the four, this is the one that I like the flavor of the least, but interestingly, this is the one among the four that my wife likes the smell of the most; to me, this flavor just isn't quite doing it - it's not bad, but I've had pomegranate juices that are so much better that I would not buy this one again except at a crazy inexpensive price - and even then, it's not a juice that I would vape very often.

A bunch of 12ml bottles of juice from Lucky 7 are supposed to ship out tomorrow, so I'm hoping to be writing initial impressions on those very soon, and when flavor shots and glass bottles become an option on the website, I'll be placing an order for some more 120ml bottles...and I will be reordering Strawberries & Cream, but with a flavor shot.

I might also note that, though I was one of the people who pushed for 120ml glass bottles, the 120ml plastic bottles with spout caps that Lucky 7 sent in the first order are - by far - the best 120ml plastic bottles and caps that I've ever gotten from an e-juice company. I can easily imagine myself wanting flavors that I don't vape as often in the glass bottles (I'll transfer juice into smaller 15ml bottles if I need to), but I think that I'll want at least one of these 120ml plastic bottles and caps for each of the flavors that I vape a lot.

Final Thoughts: I have to admit that, after all the talk about Lucky 7 being better about shipping after last month, I am just a tad bit disappointed that my second order is still awaiting shipping over a week after placing the order; however, it seems that Lucky 7 is continuing to improve in that regard. It's not like I'm going to run out of juice anytime soon or anything, either, so it's really not a big deal. However, I really would prefer for Lucky 7 to take their time and get things right rather than try to rush. It's not the ship times that are prompting me to place these orders with Lucky 7 - it's the prices, and for someone who doesn't mind waiting a bit for a decent product with great prices, it's hard not to recommend Lucky 7 at this point. Further, it is an unreasonable expectation to think that every offering from Lucky 7 is going to be a good fit for my taste buds, but having looked at other reviews, it certainly appears that most people will be able to find a number of juices that they do like, and that is a very good thing at these prices. Lastly, the communication here on ECF has been very good, and I appreciate the ability to pop on here and get updates directly from the man himself, as well as being able to ask questions, make suggestions, and so on. Overall, my experience has been very positive with Lucky 7, and my confidence has not been shaken at all - it has been strengthened.

Suggestions: Two things...

1) Based on the name of the company, I'd like to see some sort of "Lucky 7" sample pack and/or "Lucky 7" 120ml combo pack special deal. 7 12ml bottles for the sample pack and 7 120ml bottles at a special price.

2) With the "gambling" motif, I'd like to see a monthly winner - every order that month being a ticket (so that someone who orders more gets a better chance to win). The prize could be anything, but I'd suggest either a "Lucky 7" sample pack or a single 120ml bottle.

The idea with both of these is to play on the name and create more of an identity for the brand beyond crazy inexpensive juice...

Ok to finish up my previous post on the rest of my flavors here are my thoughts and all using the same setup with fresh wicks.

Bavarian Cream was very similar to the filling in a Krispy Kream Bavarian Cream donut minus the dough to the donut or icing. I would class this as a good Bavarian Cream and again would consider it again.

Sweet Watermelon was pretty much what the name implies a sweet tasting watermelon flavor but needed something more to it like a salt taste if it was possible. But then I like my watermelon salted, go figure. It was good though and really came across as watermelon to me. Not sure if I would get it again due to it was pretty bland compared to the others.

Blackberry really surprised me in that it tasted like some blackberry jam I got in Blowing Rock North Carolina a year ago while visiting there. I got 6 large bottles of the stuff as I happen to love blackberries in jam or cobbler form. It sure beat the other 2 brands of blackberry I've tried and will buy more of it fore sure.

My conclusion is I will buy more from Lucky 7 as so far what I ordered has been very good. Now not up to say a Five Pawns however for the price and would consider them an all day vape, matching pretty close to their descriptions.

My initial order (still in transit) of;
Coconut, Almond, chocolate ... peanut butter cup ... caramel .... and cola

pretty much covered the sweet side, so I just ordered;

Blueberry Lemonade ... Blueberry Menthol ... Butterscotch ... Grape Candy ... Grape Juice ... Green Apple ... Lemonade ... Orange Cream ... Raspberry Lemonade ... Strawberry Lemonade ... Tigers Blood ... Sour Apple

I figure that should cover the sour side of the tracks (except for the butter scotch which is my favorite flavor)

Hey Mac, how is the peanut butter cup? I have a peanut butter cup from ecblends that is ok but was wondering how this one would be.

I haven't tried it yet, my Lucky 7 juices have me a bit confused at the moment. I've probably ordered from 5 or 6 different "custom blend" companies since I've started vaping .... nothing "high end" .... Mt. Baker, Vape Dudes, Good Life, Vape Dojo kind of stuff. They have pretty much all arrived smelling of chemicals or perfume and needed at LEAST a couple of weeks to "steep" and let the nastiness settle down or out gas or whatever before they were even remotely vapable.

The Lucky 7 juice all smells pretty much how they should taste out of the mailbox, but that still isn't enough to make me break with tradition and immediately vape them. .... but I must admit the peanut butter cup smells good enough that I'm going to break into it this weekend .... if it tastes half as good as it smells, I'm buying a 55 gallon drum of it and vaping it out of my bathtub.

LOL! Vaping it out of your bathtub! That was hilarious! I think I will just go for it and buy it. I have only ordered from ecblends and myfreedomsmoke. Everything I have tried so far I have liked.

I tried Peanut Butter Cup the day after I got it in the mail. The smell forced me to put some in a mini tank. It's still a little early but it's already one of my favorite flavors from any vendor. It's the only peanut butter liquid I've ever tried and I already regret not getting the large bottle. I wasn't expecting much from it. Also tried the Orange Cream and Pina Colada which are both very meh. Maybe a proper steep will help em out. I usually can't vape anything fresh out of the mail so take this with a grain of salt. Still, I'll definitely be getting a big bottle of Peanut Butter Cup.

Awesome! I already ordered a 12ml bottle. I have another peanut butter cup I got from another place and like it but wanted to try Lucky7's. I might have to order a big bottle myself! Thank you for letting me know :)

Broke into my Caramel juice today .....

Vaping from a VTR with an Aspire 2.2 ohm dual bottom coil in a Davide tank at 9.5 watts.

The flavor is sweet and a bit muted, but in a good way. This juice is not an over the top, hit you in the face, sickly sweet vape but a pleasant sweet whisper in the background, I can vape this all day juice. I enjoy juice on the sweet end of the flavor scale, but the problem I have found is that after an hour or so, they become too sweet and I need to switch to something else. I can envision me vaping this juice all day .... even a number of days in a row before I feel the need to switch it up. Throat hit is there ... not harsh ... just there and pleasantly satisfying. Vapor production is on par with just about anything I've tried from other vendors.

If you are looking for the "intense flavor" or the "kick me in the back of the throat hit" this juice may not be for you, it may change somewhat with more steeping time (but personally I hope it doesn't), but if you are looking for a good, mild, solid, everyday vape (and your taste profile tends toward the sweet side) this juice will be hard to beat. :2c:
