I ordered these months ago, but I haven't had time to write out my reviews until just now.

Background info: I'm a former 1/2 pack-a-day clove smoker. I use a 510 and I drip. I'm about 8 months into vaping exclusively, and my taste buds are still pretty dead, so something that is subtle to me may blatantly obvious to you. In other words, YMMV.

Vanilla Cola double strength: I don't really taste the vanilla in this one but, this is the best cola I've ever tasted. To me, it tastes just like the Haribo cola gummies. The vanilla is very subtle, but the cola is right on the mark. Honestly, it's exactly what I would expect from something labeled "cola". Nice vapor, I would say about average as far as DIYFlavorShack juices go or above average compared to a generic juice. The throat hit is mild but noticeable, so you could chain-vape it all day without a problem. I would order this flavor again.

Caramel RY4: I don't like tobacco and I don't like (generic) RY4. That said, I *love* this blend. I've never tried Dawn's RY4, but the others I've tried have been sickly sweet to me and I can't stand them for more than a drag or two. Dawn's Caramel RY4 is subtly sweet and earthy. It's really hard to describe accurately but I would say that it's sweet on the inhale, and silky caramel on the exhale with very subtle tobacco notes. The vapor and throat hit are both great. I like to vape this one when I am tempted to track down an analog. It really curbs my cravings.

Berry Jubilie: Fruit flavors are especially difficult for me to taste. This blend is sweet and, to me, tastes like a blend of fruits that I can't identify. When I was a kid, my Grams used to buy an assorted bag of ribbon candy and other hard candies for Christmas. Berry Jubilie reminds me of the berry shaped candies I used to snag from her candy dish. The throat hit on this one is mild and the vapor production is average by DIYFlavorShack standards.

Doublemint double strength: Now that's what I'm talking about! This tastes like a blend of spearmint and wintergreen, just like the gum. It tingles a little bit when you take a drag, kind of like popping a fresh piece of gum into your mouth. If you've been searching for a mint vape that isn't menthol, I believe your search is over. Honestly, I think that this blend tastes almost exactly like Doublemint gum. I think that this juice has an average throat hit with above average vapor production (by DIYFlavorShack standards).

Hope this helps if you are on the fence about ordering any of these flavors. :)
 
My Hubby loves RY4 and I have purchased from so many vendors but He has finally made his choice I can only purchase RY4 from DIYFlavorShack. We purchased a sample pack and so far I have stuck with the Caramel Macchiato...YUM better than going to the cooffe house and calorie FREE, Love the 555 but still have to try the french Vanilla, Bavarian cream, Caramel popcorn and cinnamon roll but I can not seem to get the Caramel Macchiato unstuck from my lips to try the rest!! LOL

I just tried the Caramel RY4 today which i got last week (lol been stuck vaping the blueberry cheesecake, and finally gave myself a break before I can't taste it any more) and I love it!
I wanted the extra caramelly taste as Ive had a lot of RY4 (and tbh Ive pretty much liked them all) and I wanted something 'extra special'. Well this is it! I can taste all the flavors - the tobacco is there, and the caramel is definitely there. Its actually less sweet than I imagined - not a bad thing now I taste the juice because no one thing over powers the others.
+1 from me for the RY4!
