When is Castle Reserve going to be released? I just went to their site to try to order a bottle, but no go. What's it taste like?

I believe the official release is next week. I haven't tried this bottle yet, but I vaped a bunch of an earlier version. The official description lists coconut, toasting almond, French vanilla, vanilla bean, and bourbon as the flavors. What I tasted the most in the early version I had was the toasted almond, vanilla, and bourbon. I wasn't really getting the coconut. However, that version was definitely delicious and I'm looking forward to this one.

My message to Nick at GoodeJuice:
Nick, a couple of us noticed that our latest bottles of Patriot arrived darker in color and slightly stronger in flavor than the ones we had already steeped. Don't know if the change was intentional or batch related but we love it! Whatever changed, keep it that way if possible! Will let you know how this steeps out.

His reply:
Hey john. It is quite possible that the latest batch was macerated with a fresher batch of tobacco. Usually, my tobacconist will hype up a fresher batch of tobacco when i order, but he hasnt mentioned it. I havent noticed myself, but I will do my best to stay consistent on the current batch results. Thanks again for the update.

So, no intentional changes to Patriot.

I didn't know you dig the super aggressive/authentic bacco vapes Bronze. I haven't had Habana Daydream yet so I can't compare, but will definately order it.

Have you had Devil Dog from Ahlusion yet? Extremely similar vapes, there are differences but they're fairly subtle. If you like one you'll probably like the other, but may have a slight preference to one. Same with London from Want2Vape.

I didn't think Apache was aggressive to be honest. Vita Bella was aggressive (when it is fresh). Never tried DD. Had 14 other A+ but not DD.

You can definately handle the aggressive baccos then. I haven't had a vape with more tobacco impact than Apache/Devil Dog/London.

You and your Hangsen obsession! Just give DK-Tab a chance, and like Mann you'll never look back.

I also like watching car crashes on TV. I'm pretty sure those Hangsen juices are the vaping equivalent.

On a NET note, I started vaping Sahara today. The bottle was uncapped on May 31. All I shall say for now is...WOW!!! It's a delightful mild tobacco with some nice complexity. It's sweet, dry, and tiny bit spicy at the same time. I have a feeling that this will be one of my favorite new (to me) juices of the year. I have a 60ml bottle, so I'll probably hold off on really reviewing it for at least another month.

I dunno, I didn't find Apache overbearing at all. It wasn't wimpy. But I could more than handle it. Maybe I'm weird. :) It's 18mg...my standard.

Like I say, it was pretty good and near-identical to QnJ's Habana Daydream.

I spent the weekend with my new EPM cigar mod and Alcazar. The thing about Donley's juices is if I am away from them for a while I am amazes and delighted with them all the more when I come back to them. Alcazar is a legit cigar vape, period. The EPM stogie jut completes the whole experience. This juice has that manure, leather, oily, maduro thing going from start to finish complete with the lingering oil sweetness left on the lips like any good cigar leaves. It really amazes me.

Tonight I cleaned everything up and rebooted Paris. Now with all the great juices out there I was for some reason looking more forward to this juice than anything in a long, long time. Another in a long line of contenders for my car vape. This juice has a sordid rep and people on both sides of the aisle. Well, I absolutely LOVE it. Everything W2V advertises about it and much more. An instant top 5-10 favorite juice for me right away. Finally, the car / commute vape has been found...and it is damn good for workday mornings I might add. I LOVE this juice.

The ADV title has been cleanly and indisputably won for me by A+ Maple Burley. It gets better every day and every day becomes more my master. The BGB is truly exquisite and the Dog is impressive and grows on me more every day, while Louisville is probably #2 on my list right now, but the maple burley and my good pal Treebeard is perfection.

I don't think it's weird, a lot of us dig those authentic, bold tobacco flavors. For most vapers though, ones like that kick way to hard. I vaped Apache about 3 days straight, which I almost never do, because with something like that the flavor never fades. Not always in the mood for it though, that's for sure. Devil Dog is more of the same with some subtly different flavor notes to pick out and a little more oomph. London from W2V is the same type of English pipe blend that's a little more muddy and murky tasting, maybe making it more authentic to smoking that type of pipe blend but I prefer the Dog and Apache. Looking forward to trying QnJ's version.

I live in Shatners neck of the woods. I love shooting guns, from a red rider bb gun to my old WW2 M1 carbine. Mostly these days I just shoot at skeet cause I'm not that mad at ducks, geese and doves anymore. And for the record I am a hard core Leftist, Liberal, Pinko, Communist, pro gun control to the fullest. Beer is fun but when too many ( of too few abused it), it's time to make serious laws. Same with guns, a few nut jobs took it too far, it's time to crack down on guns. However, what your recommending Bronze, is a freedom of speech. Anyone can be banned from any moderated forum for any reason (and just make up another email vis VPN and re-join). Just my 2 cents...Are we going to set a standard for free speech here on ECF or not? Is this website on viewed by one country?

My Sc is about 100 days old. The caramel is just knocking me down. I've got it mixed in a tank w/ 80% BGB and it's very vapeable, but only decent. I think HHV Vanilla Dream (since I like vanilla and the clone of the vape Vanilla Dream Soy Ice Cream), but that stuff (HHV Vanilla Dream) gave me a literal toothache. It's too hardcore this ole boi. Still waiting on my next 3 A+ tobacco's to cure. Vecchio, Sarah Blend, Apple Wild Wood. I am hoping i have enough quality juice to let these set for about 2 months. About 1700 mils of fav's...nah I'll peek into them fro time t tie I'm sure. Holding off for 3 weeks min.

I' will say. This is a forum for ecigs and all things related, so if you could get people to quit talking about how cute their cat or dogs are when I am trying to plow through 1,000 posts to find a decent RBA, I'm with ya on the gun control thing. I'm here at the EFC to talk about that and that only. I'll go to anther forum if i want to know how great https://www.marlboro.com/gconnect/login_input.action Marlboro cigarettes taste in China

Johni this actually made me belch out a laugh :) My wallet is sufficiently extracted lol. I hit up all of the liquids in their cold mac and heat extracted forms. Luckily for samplers or I may have 'extracted' some credit from my credit card.

I've got a feeling that Clay's tobacco extractions will lead to a good bit of extraction from our wallets! Great to see a vendor set up and run like this!:thumb:

Holy crap, the gym was crowded. Lots of hotties 'mirin, though. Anthony, don't really have time to hit up Tapatalk between sets. I go from machine, to wieghts, to another machine, then another. Rinse/repeat. I get a full body workout in less than an hour that way and I work my ... off for it. I think Talpatalk would throw me off. Oh, didn't that meal I posted on FB look fantastic?

Has anyone else's Dulce Cubabnito NOT change a whole lot with age? I thought it was, but I just opened my fresh bottle and it's not much different than my old bottle. Which I transfered ~12ml to a soft plastic bottle to speed steep. I'm puzzled.

Finished my reviews over at the HHV Army sub-forum. Only took 2 months.

I'm going to start dripping soon. Won a mech, dripper (RBA) and Protank last night. Just need batteries and a charger. Needless to say, I'm excited.

Waking up to GeJ's Organic #1. Just love it.


Link, please?

I'm currently enjoying wee....patriot. Yeah. Patriot. :)
