My first review. Ordered these juices on Saturday during their 50% off sale, rec'd Wednesday in Oregon - pretty quick turnaround for as buried as they must be!
All vaped using a freshly charged Riva, each flavor dripped on a clean de-bridged 510 atty. All 40PG/60VG (Still trying to find that perfect mix).
Reviewed the day of receipt.

Honey Lemon Tea, Double Flavor 6mg nic
· Initial taste: 3/5 This is just what I expected - light, with a wee hint of sweetness. Smelled and tasted like a fresh-brewed cup of herb tea with honey and lemon - spot on. Balanced, none of the flavors overwhelming the other - has a very slight floral taste. Should be a 4/5 after it steeps a week or so.
· Throat hit: 1/5 This is down to the way I ordered - 60% VG and 6mg nic. Not much of a throat hit at all. As I bought this flavor to vape when my throat is scritchy That's going to work out fine.
· Vapor production: 4/5 Very nice
Do I want a bigger bottle? Maybe - we'll have to try it at 2 weeks. It may have been a mistake to double flavor - It's pretty strong on receipt. Never seen another review on this flavor so I was taking a chance but I'm glad I did.
Coconut, Regular Flavor 12mg nic
· Initial taste: 1/5 Again, just what I expected. But what was I thinking? Tastes like coconut, straight up. Smells like tanning oil. Very heavy flavor - glad I didn't double this one! I should've gotten a coconut cream. Maybe try it with another flavor? Any suggestions?
· Throat hit: 3/5 Average. Nuff said.
· Vapor production: 3/5 Good enough (hard to tell since I didn't want to hit it fully).
Do I want a bigger bottle? No - yuck. It was hard to continue vaping to get the full review. Just not for me - but that's my taste. I'm sure somebody out there likes vaping body oil.
Got to take a break, eat dinner, and get that coconut taste out of my mouth.
...Okay, back at it...
Bananas Foster, Regular Flavor, 12mg nic
· Initial taste: 3/5 Lots of banana - I was hoping for a bit more rum & spice. That may come with age. Going to have to let this one steep to get the full nuance I'll bet. I do like it though, and I wasn't sure I would even like banana.
· Throat hit: 4.5/5 Surprising! Never expected a nice kick out of a banana flavor, but there ya go. Definite bite but not hacking in pain. Just about perfect.
· Vapor production: 4/5 Nice thick cloud
Do I want a bigger bottle? 85% yes - I do like it, but I want more spice. I'll let you know when it's had time to steep.

Plain Vanilla, Regular Flavor, 6mg nic
· Initial taste: 4.5/5 Best vanilla I've tried so far. Smooth & creamy, tastes just like a vanilla milkshake. I've been looking for a go-to vanilla, and I may have found it. Not at all perfume-y or air freshener-y. Very nice straight-up creamy vanilla. Exactly what I was hoping for.
· Throat hit: 2/5 Again, the way I ordered it, but just right for me as I expect to be vaping this one a Lot. Did I say a lot? I meant it.
· Vapor production: 4/5 Pretty damn good
Do I want a bigger bottle? Yes. A big one. And soon.

Soon to come –
English Toffee Coffee, Regular Flavor, 12mg nic
Lemon-Lime, Double flavor, 12mg nic
(need to come down from this nic buzz and clean an atty)

Thank you for your reviews I didn't get any of those flavors, but still helps....

I do have a question though, I ordered on Saturday also, but I never received a confirmation email... Is that normal or should I email them just in case? ... I'm guessing\hoping my order will arrive by Friday, but I understand they are very busy.

I would definitely send an email - I rec'd confirmation of my order right away - might be they had a glitch in the system. You want to be sure your order went in correctly.

I have bought a LOT of trial size juices - this was the first time I did a review. Took me a while to *taste* the juices lol. Sure am glad I'm in the tasty zone :)

@The Fog: Howdy neighbor - I would recommend putting thier vanilla on your next order - I'm going to get a nice big bottle on mine - and that flavor alone guarantees me another Gourmet Vapor order. I could even send you a small sample (I only ordered 5ml to start) if you PM me your address.

atsirk that is incredibly nice of you. :) I think I will hold off for just a bit, since if I like the stuff I did order from GV (shipped today) I will probably be a repeat customer. I'm still vaping a little higher than 12 too. And who knows, maybe I hit the jackpot and they sent me a vanilla sample, lol.

Sure thing. I know you'll love it when you try it :) You should get it right quick if it shipped today.

I'm on their site now and don't see the selection for Honey Lemon Tea. Was this a custom creation? Can you post a link or pm me where you found it? I've really wanted to try a tea flavor and your review made it sound pretty good. Nevermind - I was only looking at the 'popular' flavors!! Doh...

Looking forward to your next review!

Thanks:)

Kudos go to the brewers of this stuff that keeps us vaping :) I hope to review more tomorrow - this was fun - and this was the first day when I had full use of my tastebuds (just over 5 weeks off analogs) and got a fresh batch today. 4 more shipments on the way - BWB, Vapor Renu, MadVapes & MS T's Bakery. I get home from work at the same time the mail is delivered. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm odd - all those little packages, almost daily (and almost broke) and me lurking about slavering and twitching to get to them. I may get the stink eye lol.

My mail carriers think I am up to something shady.

My credit card issuers also believe I am constantly being defrauded by charges to small web sites that no one ever heard of. Until I set them straight again of course.

After twice having to go to PO to p/u packages that didn't require signatures, I met the mail carrier at the box one day with a big smile to get my package. Explained how excited I was as I had quit smoking after 30 yrs., showed him my ecig, explained how it works, and that running out of juice would be bad. Haven't had to go to the PO since . . . everyone is really happy and supportive when I tell them I've stopped smoking. Such a different feeling from the scowls I received before . . .

Great juice reviews BTW. Waiting for the next one. Honey tea . . .hmmmmm . . .
