Last by not least, another review.
Renegade RY4 - 65pg/35vg - 16mg - According to the description on the website, I'm at a loss on this one. Website states, "a smooth flavor of toasted/roasted nuts with soft tones of caramel and vanilla blended in a sweet tobacco flavor." I'm going to break down the description. Smooth flavor: yes. Toasted/roasted nuts: can't taste it. Caramel: faint but there. Vanilla: yes but very, very mild. Sweet tobacco flavor: definitely sweet. Put all of this together and I get a very mild, almost bland, flavor.
Hmmm... I got a very heavy caramel flavor with Renegade RY-4. Almost sticky caramel that really lingered. Taste buds are funny things. Everyone's different!
I'm letting most of these steep a bit for now ('cept the Goldrush, can't put it down). Here's my initial impressions for comparison/confirmation. I'll do a proper review on some of them eventually:
Bounty Hunter - Nice, even tobacco flavor with an infusion of sweet vanilla. Tried it on the VGo and a VK 901 standard atomizer (I haven't checked its resistance lately, but should be about 2.8). Massive clouds of vapor. Solid and quite enjoyable TH. There's a complexity to the flavors that clearly needs a little steep time, so we'll be back to this one. Some folks have been trying to compare or draw correlations between Bounty Hunter and Bobba's Bounty from AVE, but I don't taste it. Two VERY different juices. And Bounty Hunter is better in my book. We'll give it some time, but I think this one is going to have a very wide appeal.
Goldrush - Since I started vaping I haven't had many (if any) moments where I really wanted a cigarette for the sake of having a cigarette. I do, however, miss the flavor sometimes. Well, this is the closest thing I've had yet. It's just sweet tobacco flavor, like you might find anywhere, but there's a blend to the tobacco flavorings that is completely reminiscent of smoking a good cig. This is NLV's "Camel Cigarette" flavor, and while it does come close, it's not exact. But it doesn't need to be. If you want a smoke, this is the juice. It's a fine tasting vape. This is one I can easily see becoming a regular on my juice shelf. Did this one on a Boge LR 510 carto on the VV box. It's great at 3.7V, but took off like a rocket as I went past 4V.
Renegade RY-4 - I love that this has the strong taste of caramel. Too many RY-4s lately have been backing off that sticky caramel taste that just belongs in this kind of juice. The tobacco flavor is very light fresh out of the mail, though. It's fairly obvious it's going to come up as it steeps, so we'll have to come back to this one. Even not fully cooked, though, this is one of the better RY-4's I've had in awhile. Trying this one on a 2.8 Ohm CE2 r4 carto and blasting off from the VGo at 4.0V on the nose (I've been using it all day).
U.S. Marshall - I'll pass on a true first impression on this one because the bottle I got has a really strong menthol taste too it. I wrote to NLV and got a nice email from Gene about the juice. It does have a touch of menthol in it to "mellow it out" but apparently not enough that I should have noticed it. So, we'll let this one steep before we give it a proper shot and see how it does in a couple of weeks. The flavor I can taste under the menthol is definitely something I'm looking forward to.
I haven't tried the Vanilla Strait yet because it smells like birthday cake and I don't care for those... but I'll probably be nicely surprised if these juices are any indication.
