I have a small complaint. I think that e-liquid suppliers should indicate their sources for flavors. They don't need to get specific about their recipes, but it would be nice if I'd known before I bought $24 worth of juice that I was basically just getting FlavourArt.

Both the Camel and the Cowboy Killers are basically FlavourArt's Maxboro Ultimate (though more likely it's their "Cowboy" flavor) and Camtel Ultimate. Now, I can't prove this, because I've not found any information pointing me to this, but the flavors are completely unmistakable. Neither of these flavors did I find wholly displeasing, but I've already reviewed them here:

A sampling of Vapor Bomb's Smoke Shop


That's right. Vapor Bomb uses the same supplier. But I didn't learn that from Vapor Bomb's site. I learned that by going to FlavourArt and searching for US suppliers (of which FlavourArt, itself, is now one).

The only difference is I smell a little Dekang in these juices. It's an undertone that can hardly compete with the dominant floral scents, but it's there. I kind of like the blend, since that's what I used to do, myself, when I had a Dekang Camel and a Camtel on hand. I wouldn't ever buy these again, though.

I should note that I've never attempted to contact either of these vendors for more information, so I don't want this review to sound as though I feel either are behaving deceptively. Instead, this is more just a reaction to how bummed I am that these "new" juices are really just "old hat"...made of incense.

The menthol is nice and mentholy. Cool and mild, but no tobacco flavor to speak of. It's just menthol. It's like smoking the floor clippings of a "Koalas only" barbershop (or so I would imagine).

I was also a little displeased that DFW didn't have a 12mg option. I knew that 8 would be no good (see linked review) so my only option was to go upwards to 18. That means I'm now increasing my nicotine intake. That's the wrong direction. I love to chain vape, but with 18mg, I now fear that the night-time vertigo and bizarre, lucid dreams are close at hand. Damn you, nicotine. Why must you make my throat and lungs feel so awesome while making my brain do such spooky things at night?

Conclusion: Does anyone want to trade for some Boba's Bounty?

I'll keep you in mind, Shannon. I may end up just giving them away. PM me if you think you might have something you think I'd like, and we can trade. I've never tried non-tobaccos (except the Caramel Kicker from AVE...which I'd also be willing to trade...a little too much "kick"). To be sure, I don't necessarily dislike these flavors. They're just, "meh". Though the menthol is actually quite nice...if I were a menthol person. I just got it for a friend who I'm helping get off cigs for good.

In comparison, though, I just dripped a little Boba's after vaping these DFW flavors for a couple days, and I closed my eyes and exhaled with a sigh of delicious relief. That's what I look for in a vape, and I've only gotten this from Boba's Bounty.

As far as vendors go, I put in an order after business hours on Friday. On Monday, I had a package in my mailbox. This vendor is clearly on top of his orders, and I'd highly recommend him.

Well as the saying goes if it aint broke don't fix it. I mainly try other vendors for lower prices or occasionally for flavors I can't get from DFW but after trying a few others I think they are my goto vendor and I'm not going to wear myself out trying to find better. I will still try other vendors occasionally and I have 3 other vendors I will order from again.

I unfortunately do not have a very big supply of juice just yet. I mainly have small bottles except my two fav flavors so far. Did you at least getthe 10ml bottles rather than the 30?

You can put them up for trade in the classys section or on the PIF forum. If you need links to those let me know.
