Have recently fallen in love with Red, White and Blue. This will be a keeper, and will be vaped on the 4th of July :)

How long did you let that steep? When I went to order RWB on Monday it was out of stock so I requested it as my sample and got it as my free sample so I'm steeping it right now. Looking forward to trying it ASAP.

Is there any menthol/mint to this? I don't do the menthol type stuff but luvs me some berries.
No mint/menthol in Red, White, & Blue :)

I let it steep for about a week before the flavors really mingled together. I did vape it out of the mailbox, but it wasn't a cohesive flavor right away.

placed another order yesterday for Candy Cane, Double Apple (or something cant remember exactly what it was caled), Jamaican Rum, and Pineapple Upside Down Cake. =) =) =)

I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on Jamaican Rum. Don't think it's really been discussed out here at all. I'm a huge fan of all kinds of rum, the darker the better IMO. I'm loving the 2 Bananas Foster flavors I have because of the slight rum flavor to them (I think the Ahlusion one has more rum flavor than the MBV one however) so man, if I had a Jamaican rum juice, I could see me adding it to all my fruity flavors and pretend I'm sitting on the beach on some tropical island somewhere! :)

Good to hear a positive review for the caramel coffee, just ordered that one for my wife, so sounds promising she will like it :D

I liked it a lot first time I tried it, posted a review earlier, but when I tried it again over my sister's, using her equipment, we both were getting a burnt coffee taste. :\ Since she's still fairly new to vaping, she only has 2 clearos (both which were already full) and a fixed voltage eGo battery, so we were vaping it from a Boge carto attached to her eGo battery. Not sure why it tasted burnt in that setup but not mine (dripping atty). I'm going to have to try it again from my end, perhaps in a carto as well, and see what I get. At least I should be able to adjust the voltage and see if the burnt flavor is only prominent at a certain voltage.

Do others who like it find it has to be vaped at a particular temperature, or only in certain devices?

In any case, we plan to use the Whipped Cream I just ordered to mellow it out for her and see if it gets rid of the burnt taste for her.

I now have 20+ in my wishlist...just need to figure out what ones and what will make them a little smoother...thinking 50/50 and 12mg?

Both the nic level and the PG to VG ratio make a difference when it comes to throat hit so I'm sure the 50/50 and lower nic will definitely smooth that out for you. I get my butterscotch in 65/35 +1 at 6mg and it's nothing but smooooooth baby!

Ugggh - my longstanding cart was empty today - I gotta start allover again, lol. Oh well, more perusing.

If you were logged in at the time you were building your order, check your email as their system will send you an email inviting you to come back and complete your order (and automatically apply the save10 coupon code to your cart too). Just make sure to click the right link in that email and it'll repopulate your cart for you. I rely on that feature quite a bit as I do the same thing, kinda building up a buy list over a couple days before I pull the trigger.

That has happened to me before too. What I do is just make a wish list and add my stuff there. Then when I finally get some money they are all in one place.

Tucson, it's a dry heat
I know, they had it in queue for a week, but they must have cleared the cache. It's my fault, I do need to make a wish list.

While we're on this subject, I found that Red, White, & Blue was best vaped at low voltages. Higher voltages tended to caramelize the juice and it would taste burnt. :2c: YMMV
I am eagerly awaiting equipment that will give me better control. The other day, I took a compulsive vape of Cookies and Cream and choked on the burnt taste. Requires a long draw and short application of electricity.

Out of curiosity, what do you consider "high" and "low" voltages? I'm sure some devices give WAY more range that my Ego-C, but I'm not sure I understand HOW MUCH the difference between 3.2 (the low end) and 4.8 (the high end) really is.

High voltage will heat up your coil at a higher temp. Low voltage will heat up your coil at lower temp. Dempending on the ohm's of your coil you need to adjust the voltage to get your preffered wattage of vape,

Well, it depends on the resistance of the atomizer device...but I can tell you I was using a 1.7Ω device and I had to turn my eGo twist all the way down to 3.2volts when I vaped Red, White, & Blue. It is my experience that there is a lot of difference between the low end and high end, I rarely turn my eGo above 4.5volts for anything. But I am also not using any devices with the eGo that are really high resistance, either (nothing above 2.3Ω). Like 0mg Meniere said, you can sometimes get around a testy juice with short bursts of the fire button so that you don't fry the juice (it's tedious, but possible).

See, I haven't felt the need to turn up ANYTHING past 3.6 yet. But I guess the iClear 16s are fairly low resistance out of the box? Ugh. I was never good at any of this science-y stuff. The clearos we have on order are 2.4 ohms. So if I get this, I may very well need to turn it up some to get a similar feel?

You might. I actually try to not give into the "science" of it and find the sweet spot for the juice according to the clearo. Some will tell you that a general rule is to add 2 to the resistance to find the optimal voltage...for example, add 2 to 2.4Ω and you would try vaping on 4.4volts. I personally seem to burn many of my juices at 4.4volts, so I don't use the "rule" like many others do. My personal rule of thumb is to start low and turn it up to find the sweet spot.

Oooh, intriguing! I will definitely have to pick some up! When I vaped before I didn't like any of the fruity flavors I tried. It all tasted like chemically, too sweet, headache inducing candy. But I always thought if I could find a good quality fruity vape I would love it and it would be great for summer. Does that one taste candyish or more like real fruit? I would imagine that, just like eCig technology, juices have probably gotten a lot more sophisticated as well.

Have you ever had one of those Life Savers Duos (I think it's Life Savers, might be another brand) that are fruity on one side and minty on the other? It reminds me of that only more subtle, especially the mint part. It's mainly fruity/berryish on the inhale and then cooling on the exhale. I don't like menthol - usually it's overbearing - but with this it's just a nice whisper of a kiss of menthol. For me it's perfect!
