Review of different 555 flavors?

I received my Strictly e-juice version of 555 yesterday, and let me tell you, I was ONCE AGAIN in vaping heaven...it is terrific! I immediately ordered more. It is exactly what I remember my first vape of V4L tasting like.

So how do Strictly e-juice (and V4L classic) compare to V4L premium? Are they much stronger? More peanutty? I like the V4L premium flavor, and the 555 I got from Vapor9 was a bit too aggressive...too salty, smokey...

Well, being that I was a new vaper when I got my 555, I think it was a regular carto. I ordered the premium cartos next and they were much the same. Since then I got premium juice, which differed slightly with the different nic levels. The new premium cartos I got only hold flavor for a short time, not quite the same as that first carto I fell for. The strictly e-juice is exactly the flavor I remember from the first carto. But, for 2.10/3ml, it is definitely worth trying, and they ship free. I did find other flavors there I liked as well, and ordered more with my new order.

Thank you, Msroulette. I've been waiting for V4L to bring back 5 ml sample bottles with their premium flavors but it looks like it might be a longer wait than I had anticipated. I may have to try your source, especially if the shipping is free. I really liked the V4L subtle flavor. Thanks.

What other flavors did you like there?

I got samplers of cantaloupe, lava flow and watermelom menthol...LOVED the cantaloupe as it tastes JUST LIKE fresh cantaloupe, not overly sweet and candy-like...the lava flow was also delicious, pineapple and coconut with strawberry, and the flavors are clean, not perfumy. The watermelon menthol was just too menthol for me, it tasted like a cough drop...I gave it to my neighbor that vapes menthol.

Thanks, Msroulette!

555 fans should know that there are only two vendors who currently sell their own (i.e. non-Boge/Dekang based) 555 juice: DIY Flavorshack and Alien Visions. Everyone else, including Cignot, V4L, Nhaler, SEJ etc sell either straight-up Dekang 555 (eg. SEJ or V4L) or dilute Boge/Dekang 555 with VG and/or PG (eg. Nhaler, Awesome Vapor).

V4L has direct laboratory access/oversight, so they are apparently working with the Dekang techs on bringing back the popular "original recipe" 555 flavor they were selling a few months ago. Many of us 555 freaks have our fingers crossed for that as it was truly a distinct, epic 555 flavor. Until that happens, the choices are DIYFS (which I did not like very much), Alien Visions (better IMHO), and good ole' Dekang...whatever bottle/wrapper vendors are selling it in.

I just ordered some from AVEJuice (AKA??) Alien Visions
I cant wait..
Ill post back my findings...

If your ordering form StricklyE..
Get the Cohiba

It is really good....... I cant explain it but its in the 555 group and I loved it..I liked it better than there 555 or RY4..
My 2 cents...

I was afraid to try the cohiba, I was told it is cigar flavor...it's good though? mild, not harsh like a cigar?

OH MY lol I dont do Cigars.. never have never will... LOL that said.. To ME it was just like the 555 in the way the first few time I took a hit I was not sure.. then it was like Oh yeah... seemed strong to me the first time.. (could of had something to do with the fact it was a higher Nic level than I was used to not sure..) but now Like it more than the 555 from there...

Hope that helps.. try it.. if you dont like it I will trade ya something for it!!

 

[msroulette]

I will have to try cohiba the next time I order...I have a good stock now, though

I tried VS Frisco which is a 555 variant from Vapor Station, and found it to be quite excellent. I wrote a short review of it here:

I'll second that for VS Frisco from Vapor Station! My review:
Best kept Secret...Juice Jackpot at Vapor Station

VS Frisco is the BEST 555 variant around.

So...I took TheBat's advice and ordered the Strictly e-juice cohiba (sample size). I have gone through the entire sample in a single 24 hour period! It is fantastic. A smooth tobacco flavor, very satisfying. I now have two favorite tobacco flavors, 555 and cohiba. Too bad I have to wait a month for my next allowance (self-imposed) to order more
