I'm gonna eat an early dinner, then get on to tasting juices (and listening to the charger).

Darn... Almost dinner time already and I've not even gotten to testing out the second juice yet... not to mention, nothing in the house to eat besides sammywiches.... I guess I'll head out and hit a fast food something or other before I get on with it...

I love this bottle, the tip works well with just about anything. Seal is a pain and I did run a needle down the tip to speed the flow.....
Filled my stardust (reads 1.8) up with ease Seeing as I wanted something else to test with (that tip being just so cute). I also dug out a Sapphire (reads 2.3) so fun to fill with this.

Hovering around 6W I too find Cigar rather chocolatey with a tea or floral hint?. With Rampage on my mind I had hoped this would come close but perhaps less dense. Could be thicker in the vapor for me something is missing there?? (I vape 80/20 as is)
None the less rather present and exotic vape. Is not as dark and dank as most tobaccos I have had.
Steeping may bring this one to life. so I'll wait a bit and see.
I could see having larger bottles of this around. Even replacing my Rampage stash.

Could this need steeping? It's pre mixed juice and the expiration date on mine says it goes bad in May which leads me to believe that it's several months old already unless they're going by some other time line. I've always heard that juice is good for a year.

Hate to point this out... the date is in DD/MM/YYYY format ... not MM/DD/YYYY

First, I love the charger but the lady won't shut the heck up. I had to turn the sound off.

SHE comes with a mute button??? I've been trying to find the mute button on my wife for 15 yrs.

Could this need steeping?

My question exactly. I am in the habit of setting new juice aside for 2 weeks than giving it a go.

While I am no pro by far I was told that steeping with the lid off sometimes gets rid of the perfumey/piney tastes

OMG, what she said^

Vision E juice - Menthol

I tested this one with a GV Drippers Dream atty measured at 2.7 ohms as well as a Smoktech Shorty carto measured at 2.0 ohms. Having been a smoker for around 40 years, I can't take much TH which is why I normally vape a 6mg juice at around 8w. Since this is an 18mg juice, trying to vape it at more than 5w was a bit much for me... that would be 3.6v on the atty and 3.1v on the carto for those that can't do the math..


Overall this is a great tasting juice and my only real issue with it is... this is not menthol, it is mint and it is disappointing that they ( with their experience level they should have ) don't know this already. I don't go for the issue being a difference in culture at this point in time. Burns_erin is again on the money with her description of this tasting just like double-mint gum. I'm really enjoying the cool flavor of this one and I'm glad I ordered myself two bottles ( despite it not being an actual menthol flavor ).

Despite my pet peeve with the menthol/mint issue... if the description is corrected... I'd have no issue with recommending this flavor to anyone that likes double-mint flavors...

I'm glad I'm not the only one tasting double mint. And now I'm feeling positively heroic managing to push it up to 10 watts, by that point I thought I'd DIE. But I'm always getting asked about higher voltages so I figured I'd at least try. How n earth do people do that regularly?

My mother called just a bit ago... I kept trying the mute on the phone... it didn't help

My question exactly. I am in the habit of setting new juice aside for 2 weeks than giving it a go.

I use a quick steep for times like these ( as I described earlier )... Works well in all cases that I've used it on.

Vision E juice - Tobacco USA Mix

Having never bought a straight up tobacco since I always smoked methol cigs... I had imagined that one named like this one would be close to a Marlboro or other cig... it isn't... lol. I used my GV Dripping Dream atty to test it out with on my Vamo set at 5w.

I found this to a really nice light ( as in not heavy ), sweet pipe tobacco flavor. When I first started vaping it as the juice was starting to get into the coil, all I was getting was a fragrant sweet flavor that I was having a hard time putting my finger on. As the flavor finally started to develop, I was finally able to tell it was like a sweet pipe tobacco I had once tried many ( many ) years back.

I believe many folks will find this a very enjoyable vape all around.


I've got the atty drying now as I type this... as soon as it finishes up, I'll get onto the next one.

I"m so sorry about that... I just couldn't help myself...

I'll send paper towels and some monitor cleaner right away... I know how hard it is to read between the spots

 

[BonnyC]

Rd thanks for pointing out the date thing. I tend to forget that other countries write it differently. That means this juice is still pretty young, but it should have already steeped unless steeping it with the lid off makes a difference.

Oh yeah, the mute button is on the bottom, not sure if that applies to your wife, though...

Vision E juice - Tobacco USA Mix

Having never bought a straight up tobacco since I always smoked methol cigs... I had imagined that one named like this one would be close to a Marlboro or other cig... it isn't... lol. I used my GV Dripping Dream atty to test it out with on my Vamo set at 5w.

I've got the atty drying now as I type this... as soon as it finishes up, I'll get onto the next one.

Ok... moving on to the 3rd e-juice, I found there was an issue with strength/flavor using the GV Drippers Dream atty. Basically, I was getting almost no flavor or vapor on the 3rd juice. Basically I hadn't been letting the atty dry long enough resulting in, literally, a watered down strength and flavor....

So I grabbed a few more of my shorty carto's and filled them with all of the juices and started back with the USA before moving on.

There is actually little change to my original evaluation... I had mentioned that the flavor was a light one, in the carto it was a little bit heavier of a flavor but it is still what I'd classify on the lighter side of a pipe flavor. The TH was increased from what I experienced... flavor -wise it was still what I tried to describe.

Vision E juice - Tobacco GOLDEN VIRGINIA

After refilling this one in the shorty carto... I find I'm still getting a less saturated flavor than the USA mix but it the flavor itself is ... I'm not sure if I want to say heavier or darker flavored... It doesn't have the sweetness that the USA mix has and it is more of a cig tobacco flavor than a pipe tobacco as the USA mix is. The TH on this one is still good but slightly less than the USA.

I don't dislike this one as much as I don't find much to attract me flavor-wise. I almost wonder if my taste buds are just dead to whatever flavor this one has... but I'm still able to taste my main vape, Hush, the USA and Menthols just fine ... so I'm unsure if it's just me.. or it just isn't a saturated enough flavor to start with.

Vision E juice - Tobacco STATES EXPRESS

I'm vaping this one with the ST shorty carto just as with the others, on the Vamo set up to 5w.

This one tastes as the Virginia should have... It's flavor has a good satuation without overwelming along with a very light sweet note in it. It has a good cig tobacco flavor.

Again, this one has a nice flavor. I didn't get any off flavor notes on any of the juices I've tried.
