I find it very interesting how every one can have a difference in opinion on some brands of juice. I don't think it will stop me in sampling MBV or KillerJuice but it has given me some ideas for others I might want to try also, in the future.
Today I picked up Halo's Turkish, bit stronger than I would have liked in the nic level but its only a 7ml bottle so not out a lot of money if I don't like it.
Also picked up Helios's Meteor, interesting aftertaste, I haven't hit it in about 2 hrs now but I still feel like I smoked an analog recently. Yet Friday I was vaping a local store blend (I think) called Vapor-Luscious's Vanilla Tobacco& no aftertaste.

As for anything I don't like, well, so far I haven't tried very many (only the 3 I admit it) but I'm gonna try to make time to go back to the 2 local vape shops & sample their juice bar I think. I think I want to try some of the fruiter/drink types for times I don't want a baco taste. :p

I agree. I had to try Castle Long, Mother's Milk, and Boba's Bounty.
I like Castle Long, but its just overpowering coconut in my opinion.
Mother's Milk has so little flavor that I don't care for it.
Boba's Bounty tastes like a raisin muffin to me. Did not like. Gorilla Juice just tastes like a banana raisin muffin.

None of them live up to the hype as far as I'm concerned.
Still had to try them!

Bobas Bounty today is nothing like it use to be. I feel fortunate to have ran across the old version. I agree, the current stuff is more of a watery raisin muffin mess.

Agree.
Boba's bounty is so overrated, if my dog wanted to start vaping I would not even let him vape this junk.

While opinions vary on juice because taste preference is so subjective i have found that some juices taste different with different coil builds, in different tanks, with different wattage, with different nic levels, and even at different times of the day (and what you have just eaten).

For example... have you ever gone to a B&M and tried a juice in their little sample carto, buy a bottle, and when you get home and try it find it tastes slightly (or sometimes drastically) different?

Taking smoking a nice cigar for instance. I authored a cigar book that has a journal portion of the 2nd half to record your cigar enjoyment. In addition to the "idiots guide reading as the end you can record date, cost, even paste the wrapper and then there is a 5 part objective scoring system for construction, taste, etc, etc. What i found is that the same cigar (in a blind taste) study will score very different from person to person because taste is such an individual thing.

I DO agree however that some juices that are sold all over the world and have familiar names are sometimes overrated because of price and availability. IF it costs so much and so many folks are selling it then it must be good, right? (sarcasm) NOT always the case. AM I right?

The vaping rabbit: I was given (from two different people) two different bottles from their line and they tasted very similar. A mixture of meh and .... Not horrid but not for me.

5 Pawns: Since my taste buds are returning I gave 5 pawns a second try. First impression was OMG WHO LIKES THIS! New impression is who likes this? I did find lucena to be an interesting heavily alcoholic flavor. I even purchased a bottle. The more I vaped it the less I liked it. It did mix really really well with vapewell creme however. It produced a Maple/vanilla/bourbon flavor that was pleasant but not enough to pay $1 per ml.

Nicoticket: First impressions of the few I ordered was this is sharp but has potential. They are steeping now, I am hoping the potential shows up.

Speaking of sharp, every vanilla custard I have ever tried had a sharp note that just turned me off. I want to like vanilla custard so bad...

This is just wrong. 5P CL saved me, it's only juice that kept me from smoking cigarettes. It seems that bashing will always be here because it's expensive, yet half the price for a carton of smokes.

I'm not bashing. It's MY opinion and MY experience. I don't care for 5 Pawns and for ME it was over hyped. It has zero to do with the price and everything to do with the flavor for ME. It doesn't make MY experience wrong for ME.

For YOU its not over hyped. And that's OK. Don't take it so personally.

MBV, Five Pawns and Suicide Bunny's Mother's Milk.
You've got one of my favorites on your overrated list, MBV, but I certainly didn't think you were bashing them. If you were, that's your prerogative, I'll continue to buy their juice regardless. [emoji5]
I'll probably try SB, and even though I've got a couple of 5P juices on my wishlist, I doubt I'll ever get them, since I can't see myself paying almost $30 for a single bottle of juice. If I do, I better have a happy ending every time I vape it. [emoji1]

It's all good, Clark, just sharing opinions and ideas here. We're all after the same goal, a good vape. [emoji4] No offense intended.
