What I'm trying:
VG Camel and
VG 555
(using eGo/vGo's and ss 2.8-3.0 CE2 R4 ceramic cartos)
First of all, I REALLY liked the old stuff. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about these, and will admit I wasn't holding my breath. Just my gut initial reactions here (been
vaping on them only for a couple hours so far)... These are pretty darn good. The two flavors are definitely a different flavor formula from the current/old VG line, but still in the right ballpark.
Consistency: like Rob mentioned, it is thicker than the old line. Truth be told though, I've never seen a VG as unbelievalby thin as the old line. This is a bit thicker, but is also not as thick as other vendors' VG's I've tried. (recently tried one that was literally as thick as maple syrup - this is not that thick) Put them in clean ceramic cartos, which rely on good wicking btw, and thus far they're doing great. Only been a couple hours though, curious to see long term performance in the CE2's.
Vapor: crazy. just obscenely thick vapor. granted, most VG's do have good vapor - this is impressive even on vg scales. nuff said
TH: throat hit is definitely lighter than old vg line, but still present. Its a softer fuller vape than the old line. I actually prefer a lighter throat hit, especially if the vapor feels nice and thick, and this fits that bill very well.
Flavors (again, just 555 and camel): The flavors are great. Its definitely a sweeter vg base than the old line. Like most camel/555's, the camel is a bit sweeter with a touch more of a...something... kinda like a full-body quality to the flavor, while the 555 is more neutral with a nutty aftertone and a hint of a spice (but not too much). This 555 definitely has less of a bite to it than the last - which I liked at first with the old one, but then tired of it, returning to the sweet camel. This 555 is mellower, I like it - like both of em. Neither tastes like an analog imho, but thats a good thing.
I'm very pleasantly surprised here. With the old line, I definitely liked the Camel better than the 555 as an all day vape, but with these, I'm hopelessly on the fence. I'm not going to put in any official votes at this moment, because I need more time with both. Quite often my knee-jerk reaction gels after a couple days and I form stronger opinions. I'll chime back in with more long-term thoughts, but for right now, I'm pretty jazzed about both.
