yep. I will (and have a few times)
vape myself to nic dizziness just because I got new stuff that NEEDED to be tasted.
Sludge grew on me (which sounds like the after effect of a disturbing medical condition) and has grown to be one of my favorites... if the blasphemy is forgiven, its now potentially on par with Legend and Serendipity. (dont hit me... I'm fragile... I bruise)

We'll see if its the same the next time around - I try not to pass judgement until I get a good amount of time, and more than one batch if possible, with them.
As for Sludge and Patriot, for me the bottom notes are similar but only in the way that a chicken club sandwich and kung pow chicken both taste of chicken. Its faint and there enough that I recognize it but, not enough for them to be siblings (more like distant cousins).
I only call it out like that because I don't taste the same kind of relation between say Devil Dog and Legend despite how much I love them both.
I love all my favorite juices equally but, some are clearly adopted.
