I don't understand the rage myself. I have had 5 flavors from Nicoticket, 3 (GCD, Root Beer Float & Wakonda) were good (I gave them 4 stars), 1 (Gravity) was awful (2 stars) and 1 (CLS) was so weakly flavored it got 3 stars. I still have 2 (Apricot Ambition & H1N1) I've yet to try. The problem I have is all this talk about buy some try it and let it steep for 6 months then it's amazing! Personally I don't want to wait 6 months for anything to become amazing. I think that alot of the buzz is because Kent is a nice guy and runs his company well. People always mention "Kent's a great guy" "Kent's the man" etc etc. This is my opinion and I know that it is unpopular.

How have you NOT hit Apricot Ambition and H1N1? They are both delicious FOOB.
Obviously a person running a company well with very good customer service and good to great flavor profiles is going to develop a following.
So out of 5 flavors you have tasted and assuming your working on a 1-5 scale having 3 of them hit 4 and another at 3 and 1 that didn't hit for you....you don't think that's a outstanding?
You realize that's like hitting 3 triples, a single and a strikeout? To use a baseball analogy I'd take that all day every day from any vendor. Even if you just work off the 3 out of 5 that's a 60% highly favorable rating from you.

I don't know about you but I can't say that about another vendor, although five pawns comes very close. The other vendors are lucky if I've found 1 or 2 that were good out of 10-20 different flavors.

Have you guys had any experience cutting Nicoticket flavors with pg/vg. Ordered Wakonda, GCD, Creme Brulee and Doodle, and found all 4 to be good, just a little sweet and too much flavor for my taste, and was thinking of mixing them with pg/vg base at a 70/30 ratio.
The GCD, Wakonda and Doodle will all mellow in a short time. I would not mess with them until you have allowed that to happen first -- how fresh are they? Personally, I have not found Creme Brûlée to have "too much flavor" as you say. It's probably the least flavorful of your order. You can leave the cap off overnight there and probably make the change you wish for. Hope that helps, but definitely consider giving it the proper time. You got some great flavors there!

I received them about 15 days ago, but haven't tried them since the third day i received them. GCD and Wakonda, i vaped a whole tank, but the other two just a few drops.

How any of you have the willpower to let your Wakonda sit and age is beyond my capabilities! I can't keep myself out of my bottle. It's the first juice I've gotten that I vape straight without mixing with something else.

Now I'm just waiting patiently t see if they come up with something tobacco, chocolate and coffee............mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I don't really have the budget to buy from Nicoticket but i was given a bottle of creme brulee. The taste and smell is so amazing. Overall it is really authentic and you can tell they put a lot of work into what they create. I am not a desert person but it is something i would order. The prices are just really high at over $20 for 30ml including shipping. With people doing DIY juices for around $1 per 30ml you have to wonder if the $20 price is reasonable. I really want to try out virus one of these days but i would hate to get hooked on it with the price.

I think you're being quite unfair in regards to their pricing. For a juice that has so much work put into it this is a very reasonable price especially if you compare it to others such as Halo. I have spent much more money on other juices and gotten an inferior juice. Consider wages, development and so forth and we are getting a bargain. If you want to spend $1 for 30ml it will probably taste like a $1 bottle. I will happily pay $20 for 30ml to get something that is fantastic first tank to last.

$27.99 for a 50ml bottle works out to about $.56 a ml. or 18.99 for a 30ml($.63 per ml). Not exactly unreasonable or expensive.

I guess everyone looks at things in a different way....

I smoked a pack a day, which cost me between $5-7 a pack or $150-210 per month.

If I purchase a 30 ml bottle of juice for $18 (I just ordered a bottle from Nicoticket, and with shipping it came out to less then $18), and 5 ml of juice will last me a full day, I'm basically spending approx. $3/day on juice.

I know I had to purchase a tank or two, and a device to hold a battery, but these are non-consumable items which you only really need to purchase once. (let's, for the time being, ignore the journey I had to take and it's cost, trying various sorts of clearomizers, RBA's, box mods, cartridges etc. etc. to get here. Please. Let me forget it....)

I now use either a Kayfun tank or an Expromizer, and either a Vapor Shark or one of my tube modes. Building my own coils, the cost of cotton and kanthal wire is really minimal.

Bottom line, IF cost were a major contributing factor in why I vape, (and it's not), I'm sure I'm saving substantially from the $150-210 per month that I was spending on cigs previously. I'm now spending about $90 on juice per month, compared to $150+ on cigs....

If getting high quality juice helps keep me off of cigs, it's money well spent!

I say let him sit with them for awhile as he tries other flavors from other vendors. Heck, I've sat on CLS for over two months which I haven't liked and I'm just starting to like it. Sometimes steeping and experiencing other vendors can bring someone around. I think it's hard for someone not to have at least one go to from NT.

I have tried both H1N1 and Apricot Ambition now. H1N1 is very good. I'd give it 5 out of 5. Apricot Ambition is just about flavorless. All I get is a very slight Apricot flavor and some sourness. I'd give it a 1 out of 5. In conclussion I'd order H1N1, Wakonda, GCD & RBF again if available. 3 out of those 4 are premium priced or short runs. No way I'd ever order Gravity, CLS or Apricot Ambition again. 4 out of 7 is not bad but it won't cause me to sing praises and say "you can't go wrong" ordering from Nicoticket.
