Sorry if his has been posted b/4, but we all know the search here:laugh:

Just wanted to say the FSUSA Desert Ship Reg & Menthol is absolutely divine! Even without steeping!
Kind of a lighter version of AV'S Havana Gold.
Wonderful on a Reo Woodie with a LR 901. Relaxing, tasteful, wonderful!
Very good on a Reo Grand with a LR510, but not quite as good.
I can't wait to try on an LR 801!
If you haven't tried it, do.

Everything from FSUSA needs to steep! I could argue this all day. Some people say you dont but everything I have tried needs to steep. Ive tried all of the tobacco's from FSUSA and I dont like any of them. Thats just me. 2 weeks should be good. Oh one more thing I absoultely hate Wyatt Earp. A lot of people like it. To me it tastes like you just puked. Bloody aweful!!!! Sorry for being so gross but thats the only way I can describe it. I have let it steep and tried it 3 different times with the same flavor. Yuck!!!!! I can say Hopscotch is great! Along with Hypnotic Mist.

I have some decent juice from them, but also a few that taste like nothing. For example Arctic Menthol and Menthol Ultra have zero flavor. One of them got a faint flavor after steeping for 2 weeks. Some of the sweet flavors also improved with steeping like Hopscotch. The CoffeeX and Espresso both taste like a coffee bean and always will, adding sugar doesn't soften it. Cappuccino Smooth is VERY sweet, but ok. Vanilla is bland and vague, same for chocolate.

Thin Mint Cookie was good. French Toast is decent but you'll need your own syrup, they only provide the toast and butter. Biscotti isn't my taste but it's well done. Free sample of Smores was meh. Free sample of Cumbermelon was the best, very light and refreshing while retaining good TH and not very sweet, perfect. This makes sense as I've read to stay away from anything but fruit and tobacco from FSUSA..

Gil what mg did you get it? I've been getting some cravings lately, and an ashtray might be just what I need.

I see no smiley face so I assuming your serious. They had a 30% sale and with all the good reviews saying its the closest to a real cigarette (which is what I was needing) I got 24mg 2X flavor 30ml. Great deal but maybe it was the 2X flavoring but I gagged after 1 hit. Like I said maybe my fault but I couldnt get it out of the atty it was so strong. I PIF it with a warning it tasted like an ashtray....someone jumped right on it.....

mlinky..I do have Ry4 & 555 24mg from fsusa if you want some..PM me if you do. :)

I hated my first order from FSUSA, perfume taste and weak flavor. Gave them 1 more shot and let the liquids steep for a week and its a huge difference. I usually catch then when they have a good sale on (30-40% off coupon codes are pretty normal for fsusa) and order Wyatt Earp and ry5. They also make a great pink lemonade juice.

I just got a bottle of Voodoo from FSUSA. It tastes like they dumped tobasco sauce in it. If it doesn't get better with steeping, it's definitely finding a new home.

Everything from FSUSA needs to steep! I could argue this all day. Some people say you dont but everything I have tried needs to steep.

I ordered three big bottles one day before they announced the President's Day sale. Bad timing. Then my order got delayed for a week due to a FlavourArt shipment being held up somewhere. I was hoping they'd somehow compensate me for ordering right before the sale AND having to wait to get my juice. A few bucks store credit, an extra sample bottle or two, something. I got what I paid for and one 3 mL sample bottle of Mellow Sunset. I have no idea what a Mellow Sunset is supposed to taste like. LOL

It would have been NICE if they comped me in some fashion for missing out on the discount and a few extra days wait for my order as well as not giving them grief and stress as some of their other customers did, but at the end of the day, it was a simple business transaction and I have no beef with them.

Wyatt Earp, RY5, and Applewood are in the cupboard with the caps off. I've read that air is important when steeping. Can anyone offer me any further guidance on this? They've been uncapped for approximately 30 hours now. Should I cap them and give them a couple more weeks or what?

Sure glad taste is subjective cuz I might not ever want any juice after reading this thread.
Didn't know what you'd end up hearing, did you Greg? No sweat, you are joined by a big crowd who agree with ya.

It's not personal. I don't read many juice reviews because I realize that what I love, some people will hate, and vice versa. What's frustrating to me, is what I loved a few weeks ago I don't care for so much now. So off I go to try more vendors and flavors. LOL

FSUSA has done okay by me.

It better work miracles because it sucks right now.
Applewood
RY4
RY5
Those were the three I thought I would really enjoy from them .... don't think so but we will see.

There better be some POWERFUL steeping fairies ready to work wonders.

Its apples and oranges I suppose.

Their Applewood, RY4, and Hypnotic Mist are three of my favorite flavors ever. Usually I order them in 60ml, 18mg, 50/50 with a double shot of flavor. They do need to steep a little, but it takes me awhile to go through 60ml when I'm switching it up all the time. Ive also tried their Wyatt Earp and think its fantastic.

This is why we are so blessed to have so many juice manufactures.

This whole steeping thing bothers me. YES I understand the process but I dont have to like it. When I order juice its because I need it now. I dont have the luxury of buying ahead of time so it can just sit around to get better. The only reason why I PIF once in a while is I know Im not getting anything that hasn't already been hanging around for a while. When I get it...I want to be able to vape it. Maybe just maybe its the suppliers that should be steeping their juices if needed. When I buy a bottle of wine I want pop that badboy open and drink now not store it in the celler or open it and let it breathe. <rant over> lol
