Nope. All my other juices taste awesome. I set all my gennys up like this. Well... the ohms'll vary from 1.4 to 1.8 depending on the size of the wick & number of wraps - 3/4 on a fatty vs 4/5 on a skinny wick.

As soon as I finish this tank, I'll flush it & refill with one of the other vision juices.

I'll admit when I first tried these it was on a 510 dripping atty, so that could be the difference. Or it could be additional steep time. :confused:

Vision Fruit Punch e-liquid revist:

Time to revise my earlier comments. The flavor is more pronounced after steeping. I can taste berries and a hint of apple now. Still kind of weak compared to other juices I vape. I'd give the flavor a 6/10, the vapor an 7/10, the throat hit is still weak - but again, it may be due to the 18mg strength.

Tested on a 1.4Ω coil @ 3.7V (~9.8W) in a fat wick Chi-genny (#500SS & 30ga Kanthal) on my ProVari.

I'll be retasting the Cherry tomorrow & post an update.

It may be time for us to revisit the juice since it's now had time to steep. Most of the reviews were straight from the mailbox.

This is usually a good idea that I typically wouldn't have any qualms with... IF we were talking about an e-liquid that is freshly mixed before being shipped to us. Factory made e-liquids usually steep on the shelf before we purchase them and the main advantage you'd get to open bottle steeping is to let any alcohol's used to help mix with to be evaporated out better. Add to that, GotVapes received all of these back in January ( I ordered my batch on 1-13 )...

The expiration date on these are for 05-Dec-2013... If they are based typically on a year expiration, that means they were actually made in Dec of 2012.

Still... it isn't a bad idea to revisit them for another reason... sometimes after we've tasted a juice once, our next tasting done later will have a different impression on us, I typically see this referred to as taste acquisition, I think of it as simply getting accustom to a flavor/taste. So in that spirit...

All of these are vaped at 5w in 2 ohm shorty carto's this time around...

Vision Menthol My previous impression hasn't changed... It is still a doublemint flavor as apposed to a menthol of any type. I did forget about these being 18mg ( I'm used to around 6mg ) and that caught me off-guard :D. I will say one additional thing I didn't mention in the previous post/review... there isn't any indication of a tobacco flavor present in this one that I can detect. Of course, considering how light flavored 2 of the other 3 tobaccos I tested were... it's possible that some tobacco flavoring exists but is covered up by the mint flavor but I doubt it at this time. I don't think I'm seeing as much vapor as I remembered... perhaps that is just me because the PG/VG ratio shouldn't have been affected no matter how long this has steeped.

Vision E juice - Tobacco USA Mix The previous report/review stands... a light flavored, sweetish pipe like flavor. cough, cough, cough... that 18mg is still getting to me :D

Vision E juice - Tobacco GOLDEN VIRGINIA ... Again pretty much the same as my first post/review. Very light flavor that makes it hard to distinguish what type of tobacco this one is... similar in taste like a ciggy but it's hard to tell since the flavor isn't very saturated.

Vision E juice - Tobacco STATES EXPRESS... Of the tobacco flavors I've tested and reviewed before... This was one that I liked more in that it tasted more like an analog than any of the previous ones.

My own preferences are to think about carrying the States Express and USA mix. The Menthol may be worth considering if looking for another mint flavor but not for any other reason. The Virginia Golden just had too little flavor going for except if someone was looking for a really light indistinct flavor.

Did anyone find a way to get the E2s to stop leaking?

I don't think I ever updated my review of the chocolate and cherry. I mixed them in a bcc, and they were just as bad together.. but after a week I decided I couldn't bring myself to dump it so I vaped it down. It wasn't quite so bad after half a day, although it was still super arid.

I think part of the initial problems I had with it might have been the 18mg. (I still max out at about 16, and usually use 6-12..) Once I got used to that, and to the dryness, it was ok. No big flavors, and the cherry pretty much disappeared when the chocolate was on top of it. I still wouldn't buy it if it was sampled to me, so I'd still say no-go but it is a little better than I initially thought..

New PHOENiX Raven in ALPHA for Limited Time

I've filled and vaped and working well out of the box. Be careful when you remove the tank from your PV. Press DOWN then screw off with downward pressure or the tube itself will slip up the carto and may cause leaking.

We'd appreciate feedback but it looks like they got this right as intended originally but we promised an ALPHA launch for this but this will have to be limited to two weeks or 75 items whichever comes first!

That looks like a more reasonable varient on .. dang. 10 mins of googling and I can't find it. There is a $125 tank system that uses cisco (or other) dripping attys and feeds the juice up through the airholes.. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Can't wait to try them!! Order is in. (And it was my excuse to finally jump on the stubby tube for the evic.)

You're probably thinking of the AMP Tank.
