Thought I would put together a mini review of what I have been finding with some of the juices that I have been vaping the last few weeks.

Mrs T's Bakery
I kept seeing little reviews pop up for Mrs Ts and knew that I just had to try them eventually. Well I did and the patient wait started....My juice finally arrived and I immediately got to vaping.

Banana Split - So far I have tried all a little bit, and in love with the Banana Split since it is in my cart. Absolutely PERFECT. I have even been mixing in a drop of Marshmallow from time to time and it adds a nice creaminess to it. The dessert is spot on with hints of cherry, vanilla, banana and an overall creaminess and the slightest hint of chocolate at the end. Truly exceptional.

Butterscotch Caramel Cheesecake - Think after dinner delight that you want to vape all day long. Incredible flavors that mimic the real thing and make you crave for sweets. The caramel flavor is exceptional throughout and a light cheesecake flavor coats your mouth. Truly exceptional.

Marshmallow - Mentioned above this is one of my go to "topping juices" already. Each dessert flavor that I have been vaping is getting topped off with this and it is awesome. If you have any chocolate flavors that you dont love, this will change that in a hurry.

Rootbeer Float - More of a rootbeer mixed with vanilla to me, but exceptional nonetheless. Light and soothing that makes you crave to not put it down.

Smores - My least favorite of the batch is still one that is quite tasty. Moreso because of the wonderful hints of the marshmallow and when I add a couple of extra drops of the marshmallow juice it becomes excellent.

As mentioned, I have tried 6-7 other juice vendors out there and most have been very good in their own way, but NOTHING has been able to hold a candle to this stuff so far. Not only does it have a solid throat hit and really good vapor, but the flavor is out of this world. Strong enough to actually make you taste the stuff on inhale, during throat time and on exhale, while at the same time not killing you with a perfume like scent that comes off as artificial.

Pure Vapes
Placed an order for them a few weeks back and picked up 3 flavors (2 purchased & a sample).

Butterscotch Cookie - If you are a fan of desserts, this is a must try. Sweet and sticky tasting juice that lingers on the palette for 3-4 seconds. Get hints of vanilla, butterscoth, caramel and bread all in this sweet and tasty juice.

Tiramisu - Not a dead ringer, but a good juice nonetheless. Stronger in chocolate than coffee or brandy flavors and a little plain for me. But good for an after dinner vape with powerful vapor and a solid throat hit.

Gummi Frog - Not a huge fan, but if you are a fan of the candy, you will really like this. Dead on accurate.

Want2Vape
Lots of fans here and I am quickly becoming one. Have picked up 11 of their flavors now through samples and sales and here are some thoughts on those that I have tried.

RY4 - One of my favorite RY4's out there, however I should say that I prefer my RY4s to be rather sweet and this delivers. More caramel and sugary than tobacco and a solid all day vape.

Belgium Breakfast - Awesome flavors of dough, syrup, caramel and more that just is a sweet and sticky juice that begs you to keep dripping. Still would like to see a little bit stronger overall flavor, but very good.

Creamy Espresso - A great espresso juice, but dont let the word creamy fool you. This is dark, strong, and an accurate depiction of a morning espresso shot. Bitterness throughout the vape with strong notes of cocoa and coffee.

Mountain Brew - Great soda vape, that smells exactly like the drink. A little light on flavor for my taste, but for those dew fans, this is a must try.

Blondie - Liked the cigar, dont care for the juice. I wanted to, and thought I would, but just is not something I care for.

Orange Dreamsicle - Orange and cream are present, but like the mountain brew, I thought this one lacked a little flavor for me.

Pink Spot Vapors
Tons of really good reviews of this brand led me to pick up a sampler. I have been delighted so far with what I have tried and will be ordering more from them asap. More coming from this one soon as I have 3 more flavors to try out.

Pink Spot - The signature blend is a mix of fruit that features a nice crisp lime finish. Think Fresca mixed with more sweetness. A solid juice that offers great vape and TH and would be a great all day vape of not too sweet, but just sweet enough.

Pineapple Upsidedown Cake - A must try to anybody that likes the desserts. Dont think of this as the cake, but as the popular bar drink. Incredible hints of sugar, pineapple, and an overall thorough sweetness that coats the throat and leaves you wanting more!

Vixen Vapors
Something new I wanted to try and picked up a couple of things. This is tasty juice that really wants you to keep vaping it.

Buttered Rum - Dripped it and it really needs to sit for a second, but once it does, it is heavenly. Lovely warm butter flavors mixed with a sweetness of rum that makes you crave to keep vaping it. Lovely sticky vapor that is quite a cloud and an awesome TH on this 70/30 PG/VG ratio.

Dulce De Leche - Light, airy, and incredibly tasty. Caramel, creamy, sugary, and cake flavors all come through and coat your mouth for what seems like ever.

Bloog Carts
Thought I would include these since they are the flavored version.

RY4 - Not good. Burnt sugar flavor far more prevalent than any caramel or tobacco. After trying about 4 carts and getting the same flavor I ended up boiling them and sticking with the boutique juices above.

Cherry - Think robitussen meets dimeatap with a side of awfulness. Quickly boiled the flavor out as this was the worst juice I had tried to date.

Overall
All in all there are some great juices here and I will keep updating as I try the rest out. Thanks for reading this rather long winded post. :p

I really appreciate your reviews... They are descriptive and helpful. Thanks for not putting number ratings on everything... Question, would you say Pink Spot was worth the extra coin? It is just a little pricey, but it looks interesting enough for me to take the risk...

I like want2vape's flavor strength. Much like BWB and AV to me...

One company you might want to try if you like strong flavor is Digitialcigzz. Their prices are in line with pink spot I believe.
The flavor is too strong for me, yet some of their liquids taste so good, I will buy them and vape them anyway.
I love The Vanillazz! and I mix it with my Janty RY4.

To me the couple of extra bucks for the mixing skills is worth it really to even try the stuff. Remember what we spent on analogs? hehe. I think Pink Spot is worth the extra coin of you like bar type drinks in your vaping. I really do apparently and the ones you see such as Pineapple Upside Cake, Green Apple, etc...are not the fruit or cake, but actually the drinks and are spot on. They are slightly stronger in flavor than the W2V stuff, but in a pleasant way.

That's cool.
I just hate paying a premium for juice only to find out they used flavourart... not that FA is bad... It's just easy to find suppliers who charge $12-$15 for 30mls and do a great job with it...

I hear ya and cannot comment on their ingredients, because I really have no idea. But I also think there is an art to the recipes that people are creating. I have not tasted any juice that tastes quite like these, so I think the premium for me is there. However I understand tastes are different for everybody.

I really like your reviews and I might have similar tastes to you sooo...
Do you have a top 3 yet or are you still in beta mode?

I think I have a top 2 from everything I have tried. There are lots of good ones in my bin, but these are the two I reach for over and over again and will be reordering immediately.

Mrs Ts - Butterscotch Caramel Cheesecake
Pink Spot Vapors - Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Excellent review! It sounds like we may have similar tastes. Thus far, my two favorite juices come from Velvet Vapors and FSUSA. I have heard so many good things about Ms. Ts, I will be trying them next, along with the two others I want to try: KBV and Southern Ambrosia.

I can't wait to read your future reviews! :thumb:

I just tried some of KBV's flavors. be oh Be's OMG, WTF (the joose), Caramel Cappuccino, Strawberry Pie, and Jolly Ranger Green Apple. All were at 8mg, 40% PG / 60% VG, with extra flavoring (2x). I normally vape 12 to 18 mg.
I only tried them at 6 volts in my Prodigy V3.1, with freshly cleaned (not new) BE112 SR atty's. They're a bit thick for cartos, so I'm just dripping them through a drip tip while at home.

All five of these juices are what I call "subtle blends". I have vaped several of the AVE juices like Boba's Bounty, Gorilla Juice, and Strawberry Cooler that I would put into this category. If anyone is looking for a frame of reference. The flavor mixture simply does not jump out and bite you on these. I am finding that this type of juice makes a perfect late night "all night vape" and/or early morning vape. I get incredible taste combinations from all of them. But, always find myself wishing there was "just a tad more" flavor coming out of them. I find this ironic, as I nervously ordered them with extra flavoring. They do a really good of getting a mixture that still whispers the individual tastes to you. That said, make sure to order all of these with extra flavoring. You don't need to worry about it being too much. I can't even imagine going with only single flavor on this set of juices. If you're looking for something that jumps all over your tastebuds, you might need to look somewhere else for your juices. However, if you like a laid back, complicated, subtle "all day vape" (in my case "all nite vape"), you're going to love their line of juices.

I also want to comment briefly on service. I was amazed at how quickly they got my juices to me. By far the most courteous, customer friendly vendor that I have bought from. They even write you a personalized "Thank You" by hand on decorative paper to enclose with your order. You can trust this vendor to get you what you ordered in a very fast and genuinely friendly manner.

OK... on to the tastes:

1) be oh Be's OMG
This is my new nightly "late nite vape". I get this "OMG... what the hell is in here" every time I start vaping it. Then about 10 toots into the session, I can start naming the individual tastes in the blend. Well, more like guessing at them. They hang out there on the perimeter. Never quite landing full force on your tastebuds. I could see how five people could vape this one together, on the same hardware, at the same voltage, and describe a different set of flavors. Rather than give you my list. I'm going to encourage you to try this one yourself. If you want what I've described as the main characteristics of this juice line (subtle, complicated, synergistic, etc.), I guarantee you will not end up with buyer's remorse on this one. It is simply impossible to get tired of it. Never too strong and will have you doubting your own descriptions, pretty much every time you take another toot. Very nice job on this one. It goes into my vape kit for sure and will be tough for me not to reorder, even before it is completely gone.

2) Jolly Ranger Green Apple
This is the only one of the five that I could say I really didn't like much. When I ordered it, I envisioned sour apple like a real Jolly Rancher. This is subdued like the others. But, what is there is not sour apple for me. It's more like what always seems to happen with the cherry flavors for me. It tastes like what an apple coughdrop would probably taste like to me. I order one "sourish" flavor from every new vendor that I try, in search of one that has one that tastes like a real sour fruit to me. Maybe my taste buds just aren't capable of getting that from a juice? But, I'm going to keep trying until I find one. This one, was not "the one" for me. I'm going to let it steep a while and see if anything changes and will give it a shot at 3.7v and 5v later too.

3)Strawberry Pie
Again, subdued flavors. I find this one to be very well blended. You get decent strawberry and way out there on the fringe, I pick-up the crust. I'm not kidding, it's like a wisp of grandma's flaky, buttery pie crust. Weird for me the way it just sits out there at the edge of the main strawberry flavor. I vaped this quite a bit while I was trying to put my finger on the crust component. I have put it away to try the others and don't find myself in a big hurry to get back to it. But, I would have to say it is the best "fruit" flavored juice I have tried so far and among my top 10 finishers in the "dessert" class.

4)Caramel Cappuccino
Again, not a bold juice. But it delivers what is advertised. I'm vaping this as I write this. The caramel is there. So is the cappuccino. The cappuccino sits behind the caramel, instead of the other way around. This is another brilliant balancing act. But, again, I have 2x flavor on these and it is such a light airy taste. Still, this is something I am going to vape in the mornings with my coffee and at my desk well into the morning. Maybe it's time to put away the PS Curtis' Coffee? Yes, I think it is. I hereby pronounce this my new "All Morning Vape"!

5)WTF (the joose)
Haven't tried this one yet. I'm going to work the Caramel Cappuccino a while longer and get back to you all on the WTF. I'm expecting it to be something that I will want to explore a while before I yap on it anyway. Kind of like the Strawberry Pie and the OMG.

I have already decided that I am going to give several more of the KBV flavors a try. Of the four I have tried, three were definitely worthy and one is steeping as a no-go, so far. I have to say that I can't name another vendor that I have had a 75% GO to NO-GO with yet. Not to mention that I just put away a morning staple for one of them. Keep up the great work KBV!
