Nice review. I got my bottle of BlackJack Berry on Wednesday morning but have been too sick to give it a proper review. I tried it though and noted a distinct flavor of Turmeric or Ginger... that can't be right, can it? Even this newest bottle of Outlaw Apple, one of my faves, tastes a bit like Turmeric.

Of course I should mention that in addition to this cold/flu/sinus/whatever, I have an incredibly sore throat which I'm pretty sure is messing with my taste buds. Turmeric... seriously? Someone PLEASE tell me it doesn't really taste like that!

I got my Col. Caramel yesterday, made up a couple carto's and I gotta say I'm rather underwhelmed. I can't really describe it: it is not as caramelly as Wow Caramel, and it has a funk in the after taste. Smells pretty nice tho. This is my second ever bottle of (any) juice, the No.7 being awesome, and I've got Aces&8s on order. I'll let the Colonel steep, and expect greatness from him. Else he's facing a demotion to Lieutenant.

P.S. I wouldn't know turmeric if she bit me on the beeehind! Cumin on the other hand..... :)

Small piece of info to add on Jammin. Seems this flavor varies very differently lot number to lot number. Was talking to a very good friend who's name rhymes with JnowHragon and his last 3 digits on his lot number is 842, mine 442, & a great friend of both of ours has a completely different lot number as well. All 3 of us have had a different experiences from Jammin. Just wanted to get the info out there.... :)

I'm glad to hear this - interesting. I like the flavor of mine. It's definitely a milder tobacco taste than that of Gunslinger, but it's there. If it's the last three digits, mine is 242. but the whole number is V0151001242. Mine is 12mg. Which portion is the three digits you're looking at? The expiration date on mine is 11/9/2012. I need to put some tape on the labels because the print is wearing off...

Earlier today I was speaking with a mutual friend of Morandir's and I when the subject of Jammin came up. I had shared all the things I had attempted, to see if I could find something positive to add to my review. I had tried vaping at stepped voltages, 4 different ohm cartomizers, etc. etc. but I just couldn't get it to perform. Then she mentioned that she felt the flavors were pretty light too, but she was getting decent vapor production. This made no sense to me....unless...by chance....our juices were not from the same batch.

At which I point I asked her to check her lot number to see if perhaps the lots were different. Low and behold the numbers were different. However now it seem pretty obvious that the differeing digits are for the nic levels which tells me that the base (the juice prior to the nic being added) is the same. As for the difference in vapor production...perhaps that maybe simple a difference in personal interpretation than anything else.

Lisa................v0151001242
Roarandir.........v0151002442
Snowdragon.....v0151001842

Unfortunately I was holding out hope. But now after seeing the numbers in sequence it appears that these did indeed all did come from the same base batch. Sadly I don't believe that adding nic would have a significant impact on the base. I think these all came from Vat 15.

Lisa I think all of ours share the same expiration date of 11/19/2012...I thought it was 11/09/2012 too until I put my cheaters on. The info on the labels are the perfect size to remind me I am getting old. I can't read it from 12 inches or 24 inches.

Added: Batches or Vats it appears are noted by the "v_ _ _" as each flavor starts with it's own unique identifier. This leads me to another observation, what flavor was held back? The first release was 7 flavors, followed by 2, followed by 5...that's 14 batches.
