RAWR does great work

[Biziou]

Gonna steep my samples a few days and try them again. Initial tasting wasn't what I had hoped. I believe it's all the coconut that I'm not liking initially. The green peach tea's flavor is practically zero. I can see why they have a big following but I sense that they might not be for me.

The last few times I ordered the 10mL bottle, and right out of the mail box they were strong and popping and delicious. This time I ordered 30mL bottles and they are not strong or popping, at least not yet.

That's disheartening. The samples I got earlier in the week were quite strong. I'd equate them to the level of flavor that I get as "extra" from other vendors. How strong does your liquid smell? My samples were so aromatic that I'm still getting a faint whiff of banana when I open my mailbox.

They smell strong and good. Something about the taste/after taste is not to my liking. I'll let them steep as sometimes that clears up from my experience.

Just placed my first Rawr order...a 20ml of Peach Serum and 20ml of Green Peach Tea with the Bigbottles code. Excited to try them out after hearing so many good things!

You made a great choice with those selections. Remember that those 2 definitely need at least a day or 2,possibly in upwards of a week,before reaching their full potential,so be patient if you don't care much for them at first. It is totally worth the wait though,Mike's green tea base is by far the most realistic tea flavor I've ever had. The Peach Serum is awesome after just 2 days of steeping,at least in my opinion. If you like Peach Serum may I suggest trying the Truth Serum as well,it's even better

I've got a sampler pack (Hawaii) and some truth serum, dawn of truth and black cherry coming. Do I steep the sampler bottles? Or is mail time enough for such small sizes? The rest I can let steep for a few days if need be.

I'm going to second Jeff's advice...2 awesome flavor selections right there. (2 of my favorites actually). Peach Serum definitely changes quite a bit...so I'd definitely give it some time to come together. A few days to a week, like JG said, should be good, and it will probably even continue to get better after that too, it does IMO anyway. I typically don't even vape the "Serums" for the first few days anymore, as I think the change is rather dramatic.

Green Peach Tea is truly amazing...crazy realistic. I like that one out of the mail, but it gets MUCH better with a few days, and that's when I absolutely LOVE the stuff!

Enjoy your new juices! I've got a few on the way as well!

They may all,or mostly at least,need a few days at least to steep,but every one of those are awesome juices,enjoy

Just a quick update on my earlier post. My order came in today! A little late but the guys are easy to work with and I got a free sample... Those make everything better!

Anyone know how long I should steep the truth serum? or the Lazarus?

Truth Serum- first impression... 30pg/70vp Born on 9/7/12 12mg

Out of the mail and into my tank... OK, OK, I know I did not wait! Shhh'You! At this point(not steeped). It's good... On the inhale I get a light fruity flavor with just a hit of sweetness. I can not tell (Yet) what fruit it is. On the exhale it is a nicely blended coconut cream. It is well balanced between the fruit and the coconut. Neither one overpowers the the other. It is not perfumey in anyway. It does not burn my throat. My mouth is not dry. The sweetness does not taste like it is from artificial sweeteners. There is no cough syrup taste. And I am having fun with the vapor!... With that said, it is not blended yet, the flavors are not fully developed and you can tell. The Throat Hit is not so great, but I am using 12nic Vg....Can you tell yet how picky I am?... I will not rate this great at this point. I will however say that if it come together as well as I believe it will, I can see this becoming a top 5 for me.

I'd let Truth Serum steep for at lest 4-5 days. You may even see the color change from that yellowish color to a darker orangeish-brown. (I use a different PG/VG ratio, but I'd guess the color is somewhat similar). I never tried Lazerus before it had a few weeks to steep, as a friend sent me a sample...so I can't say for sure on that one.

Sounds like you are liking Truth Serum so far though...so I have a feeling in a few days you will be in love with the stuff!

 

[Figgy]

I got my order this morning, too. I'm trying to make myself wait a few days to break it open, but I'm so tempted.

Truth Serum is Pear & Coconut

I got my Dawn of Truth and JY4 on Saturday which was great considering I ordered Labor Day late night. Definitely need some steeping so I got them tucked away until Friday or so to give them a fresh vape. I did try the JY4 and first impressions are, unfortunately, not for me. Ordered a 30ml bottle too as I found that after order 10mls of Mike's juices (granted, they were Truth Serum, Green Peach Tea and Razmatazz - cant really go wrong) that I vaped it in day's and wished I had more. The JY4 is just too spot on sweet tobacco if that makes sense. I just lost the taste for tobacco altogether which makes me sad cause I'm sure a month into vaping I would've practically drank the bottle. Waiting to see if steeping it for a week or so will bring out some of the sweetness to balance out the tobacco. If not, I know a few folks who love Poison and mike's juices in general who would have a great day if I gave it to them. 50ml bottle of Truth Serum next time

... But, I can't wait to vape that dawn of truth!

 

[Dominicanto]

Follow up: Dawn of Truth = deeeeeeelicious. And it's probably not as good now as it's gonna be in a week or two.

Mike - let's make things easy. I'll be PM'ing you my credit card in a few. Just setup a recurring order for 55mls of your finest on a monthly basis and we should be set. Be so kind as to apply any appropriate discounts you may have. Thanks! ;-) lol

I'm giving the 3 I tried another few days before I post my reviews. Wanna make sure they've steeped at least a week. Been trying them at least daily for the last 4/5 days. But ya I'm not digging these. Have truth serum, nutty tobacco, and sweet dreams. 0 for 3 so far.

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

First time vaping anything with coconut for me. Coconut is a no go for me according to these juices. The one I like best is the baked apple sample they sent. The peach green tea has steeped into something I like in small doses and I dunno if the Hawaiian Sunrise has coconut in it but I think not because I find it pretty good. Lot's of flavor which is good for me since I'm a flavor ...... They are quality juices without doubt, I just don't think they are for me. It's cool, some folks don't like the juicers I like and vice versa. I don't feel like it was totally wasted money like I've felt several other times. I'm sure I could find several on their menu that I really liked.

 

[DantesInferno]

Ya these are potent. No doubt. I have to clean out my phoenix with alcohol to get the taste out. Lol. The only other coconut I had was from AiV. Liked it though. The nutty tobacco has the same kind of base as MOV that comes across as pine to me. Hoping that goes away.

 

[daniele25]

Just a reminder with a lot of these juices....try steeping for the first 48 hours with the cap OFF, which allows any of that alcohol/chemical taste to fully evaporate..then you can finish steeping cap on. I've seen so many of the same exact comments on a lot of these juices....but then have seen the same folks who have gone back to them after truly steeping and now they are loving them. The more complex flavors are especially in need of some good steeping time....which most of these juices are, since they are blends of various flavors.

Here is the more detailed info that I learned from other members on steeping with the cap off:

Since these juices are mixed upon ordering and shipped right away, steeping does not start until you open the bottle and expose it to normal air/elements. Approx 48 hrs cap off should work, and anymore time after that the the cap can be on. From there the flavors are given the opportunity to come together and taste the way they are intended to.

I am loving Dawn of Truth. I accidentally ordered it in 50/50 pg/vg and that's not really a problem, but a couple of days after I got it I noticed that it looked like there were un-integrated globules floating around in it. I shook the bejeesus out of it and let it sit overnight, and the next day it's completely homogenous. Is that common when ordering higher vg liquids? I've never seen it before but I am rawther noobish.

I got the tea sampler without menthol, just to give it a whirl. Pear green tea is shaping up to be really tasty, (better than the peach IMO) but I actually think it'd be better with menthol. I'll probably throw some Angel Tears in my next order.

Rawr has quickly become one of my favorite vendors! But I gotta say, the labels drive me nuts! I open my juice box at night and half of them have come unstuck at both ends. My OCD demanded that I wrap a piece of tape around every single bottle.

I got the green pear tea with menthol tossed in as a sample recently...and it was REALLY great with the menthol. So definitely suggest getting the Angel Tears...I like being able to pick & choose if/when I want the menthol in them.

That is SO funny you mention that about the labels! I have noticed the same thing in my last few orders....and this never used to happen, even though the bottles and the labels look the same to me. I was thinking it had something to do with the heat? (I am in Phoenix, so those bottles are pretty warm when I get them out of the mail). I just never had that happen before up until my orders this summer. Hoping it goes back to normal when the weather cools off...because it's been annoying me as well! LOL
