Micro-reviews of every flavor I've tried

[Aloysius]

I keep notes on everything I try, and thought I would share it with the internet!

Sweet-vapes.com flavors. My favorite supplier so far; I've tried many, and I have only really hated a couple of them.

• Red tobacco: 5/5 - very rich and sweet!
• Traditional tobacco: 4.5/5 - good tobacco flavor. a bit bitter.
• Boston Cream Pie: 6/5 - yea, that's a 6. This is awesome. Better than most real boston cream pies I've had.
• Desert Ship Tobacco: 5/5 - num, smooth light tobacco flavor. (Nothing like a camel cigarette, though, IMO.) MY NEW FAVE.
• Spanish Gold: 4/5 - a bit fruity, yet smokey and tobaccoey too. nice flavor.
• Lemon Meringue Pie: 4/5 - Another great bakery flavor! The lemon is tasty and not overpowering, and I swear I can taste meringue in there.
• Mapachio 4/5 - Smooth and rich. A nice, easygoing vape.
• Chai Tea 3.5/5 - Tastes like a cuppa chai tea to me!
• Mojito 3.5/5 - Yummy, nice nighttime vape. I really like it but it's not something I would want to vape on a regular basis.
• Japanese Plum 3/5 - Good flavor, I'm just not really into plums.
• Virginia Fire Cured 1/5 - Bletch, too perfumey.
• Chocolate Chip Cookie 5/5. Delicious, chocolatey, baked goodieness.
• Cinammon Roll 4/5. Not too bad. Nice and cinammon-y, without being overpowering. I think I can taste the bread, too.
• Fudge Brownie 4/5. Very cocoa-ey, not too sweet.
• Cake Batter 4/5. As promised, just like licking the beaters.
• Kona Cream 4/5. Definitely one of the better coffee flavors I've tried. Has a very complex aroma. I think I like it, but I will have to vape this whole sample bottle to be sure. Thick. Order thinner blend than 70/30 for cartomizers. Final word: yum.
• French Toast with Bacon 2/5. Can't say I like this one. Very eggy, a bit chemically, and I cannot really taste the bacon.
• Tangerine 5/5. Very tasty fruity tangerine flavor!
• RY4 - 4.5/5. We've got a complex but subtle flavor here. I like it and I'll order it again.
• Pomegranate - 3/5. Pomegranate-ey, but not overwhelming. Order extra flavor next time.
• Pineapple shake - 4/5. Yummy! Next time get a cold shot in this.

VaporKings.com flavors.

• Black Tea - 5/5. Mmmm. Just like my grandma used to make. That is, a teabag in hot water with saccharin. Perfect, in my case.
• Green Tea - 3/5. Not too terrible, but wouldn't order again -- stick with black tea.

HaloCigs.com flavors - I bought a sample pack after reading some rave reviews about this supplier on forums. I'd like to note that all of the Halo flavors I've tried so far have some kind of slight weird chemical undertone that just didn't agree with me. Hearing that Halo juices "change" a lot, after the first try, I let them steep for a month. It hasn't gotten any better. I'm not sure what that is (maybe the brand of base or sweetener they use?), but all of these had it to one degree or another. Favorite so far is Prime 15.

• Tribeca - 2/5. Not awful, but wouldn't buy again.
• Captain Jack - 2.5/5. Tolerable, but still wouldn't buy again.
• Smooth 8 - 3/5. Weird ginger blend. Iffy.
• Prime 15 - 4/5. Huh. Not bad, not bad at all.

Liberty-Flights.com flavors

• French Pipe - 1.5/5. Ordered along with some hardware just to try. Blech. (The hardware was great, though, and shipped quickly.)

Out of everything, my favorite go-to flavors that I keep on hand most of the time: Black Tea from VaporKings, and Red Tobacco and Desert Ship from Sweet-Vapes.

Wow. You've done a lot of evaluation from Sweet-Vapes, which until now I have never heard of (not surprising, since I'm a relative nube). But I love these kinds of reviews. Quick. Get in, get out, give us your impression. Love it, and thanks!

 

[Aloysius]

Sweet-Vapes is my favorite supplier. Their flavors are good, and you can customize your blend to such a degree that you could never try all their variations. For each flavor (and they have like 200 of them), you can pick your PG/VG from 100/0 to 0/100 in 10% increments, 6 nicotine levls, regular, extra, or double flavor, some of which offer choose-able levels of "cold shot" and other goodies as well. And they always throw in a free random sample when I order from them. Hence why I've tried so many -- still have about a dozen sample bottles I haven't gotten to yet, LOL.

(Not to be confused with sweetvapes, without the '-', whch I don't know much about.)

Just wondering here ... you don't seem to hold the Halo juices in very high regard, but you seem to like the tobacco liquids from sweet-vapes...what's the deal on that? The S-V stuff better, in your opinion, than Halo's stuff?

Not pickin' on you; I just wanna hear your opinion, as I am always looking for the next best thing, especially in regard to tobacco flavors. And I really like Halo, so if there's something I don't know...

 

[Aloysius]

Well... Personal tastes, you know?
A. The Halo juices have an odd flavor, to my palate, anyway. If they taste great to you, go for it.
B. Sweet-Vapes are, well, sweet. E.g., their Red Tobacco has a pretty strong honey accent. I like sweets.

Have to agree with u on the halo, tried 2 menthols I had heard many, many, many rave reviews on, tried repeatedly as they steeped, finally when they had steeped over a month and I still didn't like them, I sold them....
not EVERYONE likes Halo...

 

[Aloysius]

I've also tried Regular, Cowboy, Coffee, Almond, Cherry, and Menthol from SmokeTip (prefilled cartos -- this was mainly before I learned to refill). They're all kinda meh, except the Cowboy is decent.

 

[Aloysius]

It occured to me, if you like Halo, and want to try Sweet-Vapes, get SV Spanish Gold in your sample pack. It's pretty close to Prime 15, without the aftertaste that bothers me so much.

 

[Loveridden]

I really dug the smoketip menthol - it's a nice sweet menthol, unlike most other menthols I have tried since then...but it's just too expensive to get regularly...
(if u can't tell I was a menthol smoker...)

 

[DarthVper]

My Halo sample pack included their Mentol Ice, which is the best menthol I've ever had. So naturally I tried their several other menthols and, yuk. But I am very picky. You ought to give that one a chance, just sayin'.

 

[Aloysius]

A couple more sweet-vapes flavors I've tried:

Swedish Fish - 4/5. Very sweet and yummy, and the aftertaste is just like I ate too many swedish fish.
Virginia Tobacco - 4/5. Kind of nutty, smooth, and hard to describe, but I like it.

sweet-vapes.com:

Red Blend #2 - 3.5/5. Sorry, this isn't quite a micro review, but I have a lot to say about this flavor. Their description: "A little lighter than our original Red, but similarly dry with a touch of honey." My response: Yes, fairly dry, light tobacco-ish flavor with good TH and vapor production. I can’t really detect the hint of honey. It’s not sweet at all to my palate (the “original” Red Tobacco seems VERY sweet to me, and is one of my favorites). I didn’t much like this flavor right out of the envelope — BUT — it has grown on me. Unlike most of the other sweet-vapes flavors I’ve tried, seems like this one needs to steep for a while, rather than being used right away. Perhaps further aging will improve the flavor even more.


Liberty-Flights.com:

French Pipe (update) - I know I said I hated it. However, I gave this to a pipe-smoking friend who just got an e-cigarette and he loves it. "Tastes like Cavendish!" he said. Guess there's no accounting for taste.

pinkspotvapors.com (trying a new vendor here, yay!):
Pink Spot - 5/5. Sweet-tart fruity candyish flavor, prodigious vapor production, and lots of throat hit. I'm glad that Pink Spot's signature flavor is so good!
Washington Red Apple - 4/5. Tangy, sweet, and apple-y with lots of vapor production. I like it.
