Menthol. Who's on board with that? Anyone have menthol in the rotation because I don't offer a mentholated liquid?

Oh god no. Menthol would ruin any juice that's listed here. People who like it have learned to add it where they see fit and I propose we keep it that way. Menthol and/or coolada are absolute deal breakers for this guy.

I would like to see someone do a spreadsheet and a % of likes.

I am not real good with it, but it would need to be something like this.

You would list all the flavors you have tried, and then rate them 1-10. Then we would have real numbers that represent the rating based on those who have tried it.

Just listing your favorite juice isn't a true representation.

Lets say 100 people tried GCD and 80 of those rated it a 10. Then you have 1000 people that tried CLS and 700 people rating it a 10.
Just looking at the likes above, one would think that CLS has 700 likes so, it most be better then GCD since it only had 80 likes.

However, of those who tried the two flavors in the hypothetical scenario, GCD would win by 10%.

Point is, there could be some sleepers out there.

Now that the cloud has cleared in my head:

1. Frenilla (doesn't matter if this disappears once in a while; it's worth the wait for it to come back).
2. The Virus (I just love how the flavor profile changes when it's steeping).
3. Root Beer Float (for now, this has become my ADV)
4. CB (hard to choose between this and CLS, but IMHO, this is the better between the two after a really long steep).

Hard for me to pick after these; I haven't come close to trying all the SRs I've bought (I have this thing about giving my juices a really long steep, and I have a Prometheus clone I still need to try--wonder how different everything will taste once I get that going?)

I hope this means that the SRs won't disappear in the future; I'm seeing juices mentioned here that I definitely want to try if they're created (that Cheesecake is haunting me..:p ).

This is my picks along with the The Chosen Six. Im having a tough time keeping myself together with this thread.. Just the thought of never being able to get Radioactive in my tank is killing me.. Clark is there still chances of SR if Radioactive dont make the list?

I could live on those three alone and be happy. I also wish Refresh was more than a one hit wonder. Not a huge fan of the GCD, delicious but the cinnamon kills my throat the next day. The bakery stuff is good but not my favorite. I will continue to have bottles on hand and re-order them but I just don't go through them like I do the fruit flavors. I'd love to see a menthol added to the menu. Don't have my Coolcumber yet but prior to finding NT menthol flavors were mostly all I vaped.

I honestly think Frenilla is un-cuttable - the only real concern is "can I make extract fast enough." I think I can, but...

Is it too close to CLS?

Is CLS too close to CB?

Do Frenilla, CLS, and CB sufficiently differentiate themselves so that, awards or no awards, it would be apparent to someone who knew nothing about Nicoticket that "they are three very distinct vapes." They are all in the same vein is the hard part.
For me, out of the 3 I would regularly buy CLS and Frenilla. CB is good but like the other 2 better. To throw another option in there, is BSP in consideration? Great by itself but blends well with CLS and Frenilla.

Now, here's the quandary - despite not having won an award, I personally think Frenilla is better than CLS and CB both. We could just keep Frenilla and ditch both CLS and CB (to make room for PBC, Raz Cup). *waiting for the panic* LMAO

Just my 2c - taste is subjective.

I haven't had a long enough steep on the Raz Cup for it to really shine yet but personally as long as GCD is there I'll be fine with cutting CLS but CB is so very original it's hard to let it go. Frenila however is such a wonderful fix all that it is hard to say CLS instead of it. CLS is a wonderful juice but with the possibility of that one ingredient I do question if it will pass the tests subjected to it...which unfortunately lands a couple others in the same boat (vapes fervently on GCD and contemplates ordering more...:cry: )

Raz Cup never got *there* for me either -- at least not yet so it is still steeping. I know it must be good - lots of people love it. Perhaps my taste buds are immune to it somehow :unsure:

The cupcake has to steep FOREVER to come out. I have some Very Vanilla Cupcake from 8/13 and it didn't hit for me till Feburary so I just give my Raz Cup a friendly shake every now and again and am patient. :)

As for Doodle I wasn't a fan of it fresh but after a few months it became GingerDoodle and was much better but still doesn't trump GCD for reliability of flavor...Of course I vape 50mls a week of GCD so am more familiar of that one...

I'm leaving off the 5 * since they are non negotiable.
Frenilla
Banana Pudding
Wakonda
Butterscotch Pudding
Raz Cup

I expect this to change when you release the Strawberry Custard, then I would have to choose between Raz Cup and Butterscotch Pudding, for me Frenilla, Banana Pudding, and CB are non negotiable. After Wakonda has a chance to steep fully it may be on my non negotiable list as well. Honestly the straight fruit vapes are just not my thing I seem to require something else with them like cake, cream, pudding or custard.

I agree Caudia, I have to have something else going on with my fruit as well which is when CLS becomes very important.

I've got that issue with Vey Vanilla Cupcake (2/1). Been vaping it off and on this month. It does take like it's coming around now, though. I haven't tried my Raz Cup yet (I'm doing the same thing and being patient with it).
