Did I possibly get too many flavor boosts to my banana cream pie? I got 3 as recommended, and it was great, but now about a week later it seemed to have lost it's prominent banana taste and become a muted version of itself. It isn't vaper's tongue as my other juices still normal (actually peanut butter gotten better).
Mine is 24 mg, 65/35 pg/vg with no flavor shots and it's absolutely delicious. It was great straight out of the mail and has only gotten better in the ensuing two weeks - my favorite MBV flavor so far by a longshot. I've had my 15ml bottle for two weeks and it's almost completely gone - the only reason there's any left is that I haven't been able to put Nicoticket's Custard's Last Stand down since I got it (that and Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse both).

Maybe the flavor shots were too much for the Banana Cream Pie - mine is very flavorful without any.

It seems that since I've started vaping thug juice that once I stop and start vaping another flavor, for instance cinnamon bun, that flavor has been more pronounced. It's almost as if the thug juice cleans my palate? Or am I imagining this? Or maybe I just shouldn't stop vaping thug juice.

That's pretty much exactly what I use it for.

All these reviews that talk about menthol in the Hawk Sauce are making me wonder if the 15ml bottle I have (which is almost gone and planning to order more once back in stock) was a fluke. I love me the Hawk Sauce for sure, but honesty, I don't taste any menthol in the bottle I have (65/35 +1 shot 6mg nic, bottled 6/1/13). I know that some have successfully used mint so subtly so that you don't even really taste it, and instead it comes across as just an iced flavor to the fruit. Though I wouldn't have picked that note out, I can possibly see that in my own bottle of H/S. But all this talk of menthol has got me wondering if maybe I should just get another 15ml of H/S first instead of jumping up to the 50ml in case the formula has changed and it's now a lot more minty or menthol than what I have. *shrug* :?:

I got a *hint* of menthol when I first started vaping Hawk Sauce but it was so slight and complimented the fruity flavors in it... I swear I don't even notice any more... I love it!

I found this true too!! :) To me, seems like the Thug Juice cleanses my palate, and the "warmer flavors" (cinammon roll, sticky bun, almond delight, etc.) are more prominent afterwards....but I do LOVES me my Thug Juice.....:laugh:

So two weeks ago I requested coconut cream pie as my sample at 6 mg strength. It came as 12 so on my next order I requested it at 0 mg strength. I cannot believe the color change in two short weeks.
View attachment 238838.

Obviously the one on the left is the older one the one in the middle is new and the one on the right is surprise grape. I was going to mix the two together just to have 6 mg but I am hesitant as to the fact that the first batch might be all jacked up.

Whipped cream is the same way.. at no nic.. fairly clear.. at 12mg.. brown juice - even new and unsteeped.

I'm several hundred dollars in the hole (easier to do when you were a sub-PAD smoker), but I'm pretty well covered. Not quite til doomsday, but a few DIY supplies and I might just be.

right there with ya buddy.. haven't saved a dime - hubby on the other hand is probably way ahead - he's a one tobacco flavor guy and barely vapes 30ml a month - but he does vape fairly expensive juice (HHV dark horse)

Just tried Caramel Candy for the first time tonight after a 2 week steep. Love it....better than Butterscotch to my taste buds!!

arghghghghgh.. now I need another flavor in my arsenal

Finally got around to trying the cantaloupe sample i recieved last month. The smell had been putting me off, and i wasn't expecting to like it....but its actually pretty good :thumb: It smells harsh, almost like acetone (even after 3 weeks of steeping), but the taste taste is nice, mild and somewhat cantaloupe-y. I'm kinda surprised to say this might be a re-order for me.

I get +1 flavor shots on all my juice except Banana Cream Pie. It's real flavorful on its own as soon as I get it and stays that way as it steeps.

so, I'm sitting here with this freebie of banana juice..just plain banana, and it's not bad on it's own - esp to someone that's not into fruity vapes but ya know.. it could be better with something - the choices are ENDLESS so I'm in a quandry - being libra and a redhead.. and menopausal.. decisions are not my best event.

here's what I'm considering
banana + whipped cream + maple
or
banana + sweet cream + pie crust
or
banana + white chocolate + clove (or ginger)
or
banana + pumpkin cookie - which still hasn't found it's way into a dripper to taste - kinda waiting for fall, or an empty T3 or clearo
or
banana + double dutch + bacon

if I had a 30 ml bottle I'd try a bunch of them - banana is pretty flavorful so I'm sure it won't be the dominant juice in any creation

also in the running as a mixer are brown sugar, honey, candy corn, bavarian cream, menthol? (I keep reading how a touch of menthol is nifty in juice)

so.. thoughts? votes? anyone try any of those?

I'm actually trying to reduce the chances of tank cracking by mixing it with a juice that doesn't mess with T3s or clearos.

What does Tres Leches taste like? Anyone had it?


I've had it, it's very sour. (To me) and I've tried mixing it with other things and it sours the mix. It's not to my taste, but I'm sure others may like it. I think I was expecting creamy... and it wasn't imo

My vote is for anything bacon.
