Hello! Thanks for checking out my small review thread.
To begin I just want to give you a little insight on my taste pallet and what I like (and what I look for.)
I'm a huge vanilla custard / custard fan; so I'm pretty much a High Roller Sweets fan boy, looking to expand my inventory. I also make my own juices, so I kind of get hints of flavors from specific manufactures, so what I look for is originality, not something I can replicate on my own.
Variables
tanks - Kanger Subtank (Medium) with a .5 ohm coil that comes with the tank (Japanese cotton is what's in it)
Nautilus Aspire with 1.6ohm coil (the Medium tank)
Mods- Cloupor Mini @ 15.6 watts (my sweet spot)
*also for the Leo juice, I did not use my setup, but my buddy's setup, it was an aspire atlantis v1, with .5ohm coils @ 16 watts on an eleaf mini 50W mod*
My cat loves attention he wouldn't budge, sorry for the distraction :x

Juices
1. Taurus- (@12mg NIC)
What can I say about Taurus.. I feel like I have discovered something recently, this juice is friggin' awesome.
My first impressions is that it the inhale reminds me of a very sweet pie crust or a sugary french tart, and the exhale has tones of a fantastic vanilla flavoring, almost like a vanilla. I also get an overall graham crackery taste overall (but not as strong as other juices, I will get in to that later)
Their description online of Taurus directly from their website is:
"Taurus by Twelve Vapor is a full-bodied buttery blend of baked crust, almonds, delicate caramel, Tahitian vanilla, fresh cream and a touch of peanut butter. Beautifully rounded out with two types of exotic custards."
I definitely taste the baked crust and the almonds upon the inhale. The cream and vanilla on the exhale, however my pallet isn't sensitive enough to pick up the peanut butter (which is fine, because I don't like it as much as most people)
So in my opinion the description is very accurate; the overall taste is very balanced, I love this juice.
This juice reminds me VERY MUCH of High Roller Sweet's Hold Em' juice. HRS describes their Hold Em' as a "yellow cake and praline" juice. Both at the highest level of juices you can get in my opinion.
2. Gemini (12mg)
First impression inhale, very clean, fresh, tastes of watermelon and regular sweet yellow melon. Exhale is pretty much identical as the inhale, just not as pronounced, kind of reminds me of juicy fruit gum. This is a very clean, refreshing, kind of light vape. Something I think females would prefer (I have noticed females like more of a fruity, light flavor) over the super sweet and thick flavors that males tend to prefer)
Their website states:
" a strong and juicy watermelon. On the inhale it gives way to a sugary and luscious bubble gum, finishing in a perfect balance of harmoniously layered perfection"
The statement is accurate, all of the flavors states are there. The flavors are high quality, it doesn't taste artificial by any means, that's why I am really liking this company so far.
This juice does remind me of another one.. However for the life of me I just can't think of it (I've tried so many high end juices..)
3. Leo (6mg NIC)
First impression: GRAHAM CRACKERS. The inhale is very graham crackeryish, slight taste of vanilla; this is honestly all I can make out. The exhale is much stronger than the inhale (compared to Taurus and Gemini) once again is say GRAHAM CRACKERS!! Very graham crackery, taste no vanilla. Now I am not trying to be biased against this juice, it's definitely a premium juice, no doubt about it, however all I seem to taste is graham crackers with a tad of vanilla. If that's your forte, you will love this juice.
Their website states:
" a perfect parfait, fresh raspberries, give way to a smooth vanilla yogurt encased in a cinnamon crumble finish. Hints of granola appear throughout the inhale resulting in an inventive flavor profile."
In my personal opinion that is not very accurate. I can kind of see where they are coming from when they say hints of granola and vanilla yogurt, however no raspberry taste in sight. The graham crackery taste definitely over powers this juice.
Overall this is still an excellent juice, just not 100% what I expected. This really remind me of Cuttwood's Sugar Bear. Sugar Bear was a little TOO MUCH for my pallet, talk about flavor.. Sugar Bear hits you hard.
Because they are so similar, what differentiates the two in my opinion is 1. Sugar Bear is much too overbearing for me (people LOVE that juice, and Leo is 12s' best seller as well, which is ironic) Leo is a little more subtle, even though the taste of Leo is overbearingly graham crackery, you can still kind of get other flavors from it. I hate to pick and choose but lets just say I gave the Sugar Bear bottle to my ex gf (no pun intended.)
Final thoughts:
My overall impression of the company is that for sure it's marketed as a high end juice, and no doubt about it the three juices I reviewed are well in to that category. As I mentioned previously I try and match flavors to other manufacturers so I can tell if they use the same suppliers (not always a turn off, but sometimes.)
I have definitely tasted all of the flavors I have vaped in these three juices from other high end e juice companies. So the flavor suppliers for most of the high end juices have to be coming from a certain few companies because so many of these juices taste like others (not necessarily a bad thing.)
The reason I mentioned I was a High Roller Sweets fanboy in the pretext is because for the life of me, I can not tell where they get their flavors from, so in my head they are original (as in literally make their own flavors, which I don't know for a fact, maybe some of you do and can correct me, but that is my impression.)
12 Vapor (another thing is I'm not even sure if this company is called 12 vapor, literally it says "twelve" for the brand name, which they should have thought about the logistical nightmare searching for "twelve e juice" on google, in my opinion that's a huge mistake by these guys to name their company "12"...
I got these juices for free (I has hookups) however you will be paying 16.99 for a 20ML. That's more expensive than High Roller Sweets. If you can afford to fork out the dough, by all means this is a premium juice line. However it is very expensive. The packaging is some of the best I have ever seen, they definitely did not skimp out on the art work or the bottles / container the bottle comes in. This is important because it will result in a fresher taste from the factory (I know first hand.) The artwork is very fancy, for sure the person who designed the art work is a very bright person, and should not be left unmentioned.
Final impressions:
I like. I will for sure go back and get their Taurus flavor, even if it is 16.99 (or I can probably just get it from my hookup again for free) I was not let down by this brand. What I have read so far online is people really like this stuff and I can see where they are coming from. Good job to "12" !!
I'm not the best at keeping up with online forums, however I will try and address any questions if any come up. Happy vaping!!
