If you enjoy the Green Peach Tea now you will definitely enjoy it more in the next few days. I personally didn't care for it much the first 2 days,but by the 3rd day I loved it. I haven't tried a 0 mg nicotine yet but got one as a sample myself in the last few days of Blapple. I want to try it but am afraid to waste a Resurrector if it doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I'll just wait and order a cheap carto next time I reup on them

The samples I've always recieved from Rawr are 6mg Nic...did he just start doing 0mg in the last few weeks or something? (My last order was about 3 weeks ago)

I ordered 6 juices from rawr but only one stands out to my taste buds (not a banana fan). Hawaii Sunset. I got 18mg in 100VG, and this juice needed a week of steeping. Now this juice is great so yummy and refreshiing with fog machine vapor and a nice throat hit. Highly recommend it.

!

I got the Hawaii Sunset the other day as a sample. Says on the label they put menthol in it. While I do like tropical stuff, I am scared to waste a carto on tropical + menthol.

I think so because that is the first time I've ever received 0 mg. I was kind of hoping he was going to go up,not down,with the nic in the samples but oh well.Just wish I had a cheaper carto to try it out

Sorry if I missed it, but does anyone have a recommendation for a Rawr flavor that would suit a ex-menthol smoker? I have tried Poison + my own menthol drops, but there is something in that flavor that gives me a headache. I am searching for an all day vape. Thanks! :headbang:

You can add menthol to any of the Rawr flavors. I haven't had his tobacco flavors, but some there are a few of his flavors that I personally think go really nice with the menthol. I always go with the lowest level of menthol, but thats personal preference. These are the ones I like with menthol, in this order: Antidote, Razmataz, Truth Serum, Beachin, and Love Potion

Now I order all of them without, and I have a bottle of the Angel Tears (his menthol drops), so I just add when I'm feeling like it.

Hope that helps!

I just got around to trying some other flavors, because they have been steeping (Every juice IMO needs to be steeped a week, only a few don't). I'm digging the tropical delight, it started out not-so-good, then it changed colors and VOILA! Clean, mellow taste, hard to describe... The berry lemonade is a winner also in my book, even though i want to try antidote now because of Daniele =)... I have wasted so much juice with these damn carto's, I'm seriously considering switching to atty's full-time...This is off topic, but has anyone else had quality control problems with the smoktech carto's recently (1.7's and 2.0's, both tank and regular...). (i use 70pg/30vg, so the damn thing should wick right!), anyways sorry, but does anyone have any suggestions for carto's that are not smoktech or boge?? (PS I'm filling them right,letting them soak, and get an insta-burnt taste that is killing my juice supply...1 out of 10 worked... i know, i know, i shudda stopped filling them, but i figured SOME had to work...guess not.lol))

Funny you say that about Antidote...because I want tro try the Berry Lemonade because of it! LOL! As for the cartos.... I really hope that isn't the case. I know Boge has been having some quality issues, and I just ordered 15 of the SmokeTech 1.7s, or "resurrectors." Its been a while since I ordered any SmokeTech cartos...I used to just get the 2.0 regulars and don't recall having any issues except the occasional dud here & there (but same would happen with the Boges). Like i said, it has been a while though, so I'm probably not the best person to comment on those. I have been using the Stardusts and tried to get my level of patience up with the Phoenix CE3s...but it just seems far to easy to screw those up and I was pulling my hair out. I can honestly say they provided the best vape I have had to date.....IF they work and don't leak all of your juice out the bottom in about 2 seconds, wasting a good 1.5mls or so. (Very frustrated with those as you can see!) The Stardusts are also a sore subject with me....same deal pretty much, inconsistent, constantly having to tinker with them, etc.

Would love to hear comments on the SmokeTech's though....as mine should arrive tomorrow I would assume. I've finally found the perfect juices with Rawr...would love to find a perfect set up to actually enjoy them!!

So far loving the juices I received last week, though I'm sure extra time to steep is needed to really get the most out of them. Haven't filled any sort of tank with them as I'm really just trying to get a sense of the flavors with an atty, first, and go for 30ml bottles on the standouts. Without going into a full out review, a few things I can say about RAWR juices so far.

They need to steep. Minimum 4 days before I really tasted what Mike must've intended for them to taste like. At first I was a little disappointed that the flavor I was expecting was hardly there, but that's changed drastically since day 1...
But, once they've been allowed to sit (Truth Serum, Green Peach Tea, in particular), they're so spot on! A pig plus is that none of the juices, even the Razmatazz, is overly or artificially sweet, just accurate. There's a smoothness (almost creaminess) to the vape which is great and refreshing and something I'm not used to in other juices I've tried.
They vape well when you kick up the voltage a big though not too high. Past 5V it starts to taste off even with 3.2ohm attys. Not burnt, just not right.
Vapor is pretty good for a 50/50 blend which is great and unexpected.
Can't speak to throat hit on any of them as I vape at such low nic levels that I'm hardly the best judge of TH. But it is satisfying for me.
Not as much of a fan of Screaming Mammaries as I hoped to be. It's missing just a bit more espresso to match the milkiness so that it's more like a cappuccino flavor. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the smoothest and more realistic coffee vapes I've had to date, but it's like the barista made a latté by mistake, a good one, just not what I asked for.
And still the biggest surprise was how good the Chocolate Dipped Nana freebie tastes. I would eat the vape if that were possible! :) I might even kick this up to 12mg nic and definitely will be ordering a 30ml of this. I asked Mike if he could throw in a desert flavored juice as the freebie (never had one before) and man did he get it right!

Overall, a fan and a returning customer. Looking forward to the fact that these things will only vape better with time. Glad I switched to dripping lately. Only bought 10ml bottles so trying to stretch them out for as long as possible :)

That said, I'm worried about what a stardust/nova will do to the flavor (not into cartos), so this is pushing me towards rebuildable atties like the Penelope/Oddy/Phoenix that can hold more than a few drops at a time and promise the best flavor. This is not good for my wallet...

I can speak to the Rawr flavors and the Stardusts and the Phoenix clearos. I also order them at 50/50 PG/VG. The taste is been great with the Stardusts when they are brand new. The taste seems to very quickly decline, as does the performance. This has been my experience with the Stardust and all of my juices...except for one juice that was clear and higher PG...the same thing still happened, just not as fast. I will clean them, and get a few hours of good performance again, and then its back to muted taste, reduced vapor, etc. The taste & performance on the Phoenix is definitely the best I have had to date....however, they were very frustrating to me. In the 2 boxes I ordered, I had a couple duds. In addition to that, they are VERY easy to screw up, which is not good for me. If you don't fill them just right, they will dump all of your juice out of the bottom in about 2 seconds, (and losing 1.5mls of my favorite Rawr juice does not go over well with me!). Other times I have had them just not vape at all. The few that did work for me, started to get a nasty burnt taste after some time. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect gadget...thinking about the Vivi Nova....but wanting to get more input on how they compare to the Stardust.

I havent tried the rebuildable Stardust, that might be a good solution for me. Will let you know if I go that route.

Wow,just saw there are 4 new flavors on-site right now! Sweet Dreams,Morning Glory,Old Man Juice & Honey Glazed Melons. Sounds like a good time to place another order:)

Oooh....those sound tasty too! I don't have any kiwi juices yet....might have to give Sweet Dreams a try. Looks like he added a few sample packs too, which I don't believe he had previously. There are 7 different sample packs to choose from too...all really nice selections IMO.

Help, Daniele - they're all making me want to order even MORE Rawr juices!! Hide me!! :laugh:

Today I got my banana cream pie, hawaii sunset, peach serum, and black cherry. I want to try them, but a little voice in my head keeps saying "steep.....steep.....steep!" It's killing me! Crud, now I have to go look @ Rawr's site to see the new flavors. Sample packs?!?! Whoo hooo!!
:party:
BTW, I also got Hawaii Sunset (0mg) as my samples lately. I put a little in w/my Serenity & it was a nice touch.

This Thread has a life of it's own ! Over the weekend I ordered from four different vendors, including Rawr. The other three are here, but still waiting for my Truth Syrum, Dawn of Truth and Banana Cream Pie ! Anyone ever noticed a slight delay receiving orders from Rawr or am I just too impatient ? I hear so many good things about this vendor, maybe that's why- they're just so busy !

Yup, there was a slight delay receiving the confirmation, but then it got here 2 days later. He makes them fresh so the fact that I got them 3 days from placing my order was faster than I could ask for considering its standard USPS shipping.

I ended up buying a Penelope from Bruce of Clouds of Vapor last night at a vape meet (couldn't help it - it was right there!), but still haven't gotten a chance to build the atty and test out Truth Serum and the rest with it. But I am wearing out my atties with all of Mike's juices and am running low on everything ... time to re-up!

I got the Absinthe, Screaming Mammaries (coffee) and Berry Lemonade.

The Absinthe is quite potent anise/licorice flavor. Fairly smooth and vapable but I generally only use it for about 30 minutes before looking for something else.

The SM is...odd. I guess the flavors hadn't blended yet so it just tasted weird, nothing like coffee. A week later and the juice has turned almost black, so I'll try again soon as my Stardusts come in.

The lemonade smells great, but it burns my throat bad enough I simply can't use it. Actually hurts.

Ironically the best flavor was sent as a free sample...raspberry. Verrrrry smooth, tasty and all-day good. I ordered a 30ml bottle.

Nice selection! I can speak to all juices except hawaii sunset. I'd say peach serum and banana cream pie definitely need some steeping. I LOVE black cherry(i've hated every cherry juice I have every tried except for this and Lazerus). I can;t say for sure about steeping though, because I ordered it with several other juices, so I never tasted it in the first few days...therefore don't know if it changed. All i know is its amazing after about a week...tastes just like cherry kool-aid.

Shipping is typically crazy fast....he must have something going on if its taking a while. I usually get a confirmation within a day, and it typically ships shortly thereafter.

The new sample packs on the site look great btw

I have to say Green peach tea is really good. For me about a 5 day steep and it was good. I wound up mixing in some white peach juice to it and its one of my all time favorite vapes now. I like a heavy peach sided green tea, like Arizona iced tea.

The truth serum has calmed down a bit , but I can't vape for too long. I have found its really good with mixing in other juices though. I'm going to branch out with Rawr and try some others. They just came out with 4 new Flavors so if you haven't been by in a while go check 'em out . They also have a bad ... little tank filler tool on page 3 of hardware for $3.50 that nicer and more functional then any I have seen out there.

I have to say I wastotally wrong on this. To me it sounded weird, but tonight I tried it. This flavor with the menthol works. I might even order it again some day.
