After seeing you talk about the butterscotch cookie and how much you like it, I ordered some of it yesterday. Hope I like it as much as you do!

I don't review or recommend many juices because it is all very subjective, but I can't imagine anyone not liking NikHil's Butterscotch Cookie juice - the stuff is just plain good.

Hi guys, thanks for all the feedback and posts! I've been a little stressed lately with a couple of inventory issues and other things.

The Butterscotch Cookie will be out of stock shortly with the influx of orders for it and FlavourArt's factory move delaying my restocking order, so if you really need it, pick it up soon. I'm placing an order with FlavourArt tonight, but they are probably backed up on orders from the move and there's no telling how long it will take to get here from Italy. I'll let you know when I have it back in stock, but I shouldn't run out of any of the other flavors. I plan to design a Caramel Cookie flavor in the mean time, which won't be the same, but might help tide you over if you're craving the BC.

The Carrot Cake has been very difficult as you know, so I thought I'd give you some insight on why the process is taking a while for this flavor. The main carrot spice flavoring is very strong and needs a tiny amount (<0.5ml) to flavor an entire 30ml bottle. It also seems to cover up the other flavors to a certain extent, but it changes depending on what other flavors are in it. This means tweaking at the 0.1ml level, using larger bottles, and varying the other flavors and their quantities. It should be ready by the New Year, and I hope to have Caramel Cookie ready by Christmas. I'm also planning a 7 berry blend and a pipe tobacco flavor, with preliminary testing set for January.

I have tweaked the Lemon Creme Puff to have a softer, more natural lemon taste and and enhanced pastry note for balance. I'm out of Eggnog samples but am sending free Apple Cider samples for now. I won't be stocking Eggnog permanently because I couldn't confirm the Diacetyl content, but I may keep the Apple Cider in the future depending on feedback.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all, and thanks for supporting me!

Merry Christmas, Nik! Don't stress, life is too short for it...that is my Christmas present to you. Take deep breaths, relax and enjoy what you are doing. I tell my own kids that all the time. They just roll their eyes...lol...but as I am getting on in years, I realize life is supposed to be fun. Everything works out in the end. My greatest piece of advice to my kids has been, if you don't know what to do, do nothing. Eventually the answer comes thru loud and clear.

Thanks everyone, the break really helped. I hope you all had a great weekend too! I'll be releasing the Caramel Cookie as soon as possible, it's pretty much ready. The Carrot Cake has made a lot of progress, but I think I'll start sending samples of it out next week to get some feedback before its release. I will resume shipping Tuesday (tomorrow) until Thursday, and then close until next Tuesday for the new year.

I also recently talked to Max and he is removing the slight diacetyl amounts from many of his flavorings, including Butterscotch, so once I have restocked, the Butterscotch Cookie will be diacetyl-free!

how many people have tried the Chocolate Malt? Looking for feedback. I ordered some already, just haven't received it yet. How close does it come to "Whoppers" or does it remind you of something else?

I have tried the Chocolate Malt. I was really looking forward to this flavor, as I have absolutely loved every other flavor I've tried from Nikhil(ie, Bourbon Cigar, Lemon Creme Puff, Spearmint, Pecan Liquior and Butterscotch Cookie). Unfortunately, I must be tastebud deficient or something like that because I couldn't taste the chocolate or the malt. What was really weird was that I could smell the flavor but all I tasted was strong perfume, like rose hips:( Totally unvapable, even after 2 weeks steeping. I hope it was just something wrong with me and that others have a better experience!

Well I think I owe it to the Pure Vapes fans and Nikhil to make this post. Being the web developer of Pure Vapes, I get a lot of Juice for free. Really, he gives me credit. But, everytime my credit runs out, he gives me more. So, pretty much, I get his juice for free. I'm going to list all the flavors I've tried and rate them 1 - 5. 1 being unvapable, 5 being a favorite.

Butterscotch Cookie - 5
Blackberry Brandy - 5
Irish Cream Danish - 5
Strawberry Shortcake - 4
Lemon Creme Puff - 5
Cookie Dough Ice Cream - 5
Cherries Jubilee - 3
Raspberry Custard - 4
Chocolate Caramel Truffle - 3 (but haven't tried the newest version)
Pecan Liquer - 5
Cappuccino - 5
Tiramisu - 5
Blackberry Danish (custom danish mix) - 5
Blackberry Ice Cream (custom ice cream mix) - 3 (the 'ice cream' flavor itself sits badly with me, hence the 3 for cherries jubilee, too.) - I've heard I'm alone on this, though.
Blackberry - He doesn't sell this, he made it for me because I love blackberry. He named it, "Just Blackberry" because he's so original. I give it a 555555.

My current favorite is Pecan Liquer, for me it's even better than his Butterscotch Cookie - which is freaking amazing. I love this stuff. Vaped 15ml of it in a week. So, highly recommend you guys try it.

about to place another order to try some of the new stuff I missed out on. Will give reports of how the Chocolate Malt is. I know Lynlee loves it :)

Sallana, I love the Butterscotch Cookie, too! Another bottle's on the way.

Just curious regarding your reviews on the Strawberry Shortcake and the Raspberry Custard, why the 4? What was it missing for you to give those 5s, instead?

I realize how subjective taste is regarding ejuice and have been eyeing those two flavors since my first order. Perhaps (I'm hoping) whatever made them a 4 for you will not be a big deal to me! But I am curious... :)

Thanks!

Thanks Sallana, nice compilation there. It's really a personal taste thing with some of them, as I have repeat customers for the Strawberry Shortcake as well as the Chocolate Caramel Truffle. Not a lot of people have tried the Raspberry Custard, so that's difficult to say, but I haven't heard anything bad about it. I'm going to be reworking the Cherries Jubilee after I get the Butterscotch Cookie restocked.

I know a lot of you have been asking about samples, so I've decided to do what I can and offer 0mg non-customizable 3ml samples for $2 each. Unfortunately, the measuring for the nicotine would require precision that I don't trust on such small bottles, and it's similarly difficult to do customization with such small sizes. Sallana is working on a site re-design that will enable use to add new features like user login and eventually credit card processing, so until then the samples won't be added on the site, but you can ask for them in the additional comments. I'll still be sending free samples with orders whenever I have new flavors in development.

Also, I won't be able to process orders on the 31st or 1st, so don't be alarmed if you place an order but don't get an invoice during this time.
