A few more to review, obtained from VaporDNA! There are two different brands to discuss.
Service: Thumbs up. I ordered three different companies' liquids, for a total of 17 different bottles, and they got it all right. QC was evident on the invoice (hand-written checks for each bottle). Good communications and updates.
Packaging: Two thumbs up. Bottles were individually DOUBLE-wrapped in bubble-wrap mini-envelopes. They're some sort of pre-made envelope of bubble wrap with an adhesive flap, like a postal envelope only smaller and just bubble wrap. I saved them, as they'll be awesome for travel and any mailing.
CRFT e-liquids - $0.67/mL in a 30mL bottle. The bottles are dark glass, no dropper tip but at this point I have more than enough extras. The bottles are shorter and more 'squat,' which I like because they fit in my liquid drawer without laying them down. Labels are professional and unique to each flavor. Thumbs sideways on price, thumbs up on presentation.
Trail Mix: This tastes like trail mix. I get chocolate, peanut, raisins, and another 'nutty' flavor that I think might be almond. I also get a salty taste on the exhale, which would seem to me to be crazy-hard to pull off. It's seriously like grabbing a handful of gorp on a hike or field exercise and munching away; I even reached for my water bottle after every pull! This is a very unique flavor, and done extremely well. Two thumbs up on flavor, another two for doing something different!
Gravel Pit: Ignore the weird name - this is actually a southern peach and guava mix. I definitely get the guava on the inhale and peach on the exhale, much more subtly than many mixes I've tried that use peach. The flavor mix is very subtle and interesting, and again - different. This flavor is what the bartenders at supposed five star resorts in the Caribbean should be striving for instead of drowning everything in pineapple juice to cover up the cheap rum's bite. Two thumbs up.
CRFT's entire line (all four flavors) is excellent, I give them two thumbs up for flavor across the board.
Vape Craving - $0.73/mL for a 30mL bottle. Thumbs sideways on price; this is near the high end of pricing I've encountered. The bottles are glass with fancy-dancy translucent labels. They're so fancy I almost can't read the darn things when the liquid level is above the name. I get that they're going for a boutique feel, but it's a pain in the rear. The bottles themselves are glass, and thinner than most 15mL 'eyedropper-top' style bottles I'm used to. Overall, thumbs down on presentation.
Daydream: Advertised as "toasty nutty elements with a creamy nucleus." I get the nutty elements on the inhale, something that *might* be cream on the exhale. The word you're going to see popping up all over this and the next two flavors is 'subtle.' It's so subtle I almost can't taste it. I get the impression Vape Craving feels their liquids are to be enjoyed all on their own, with no food or drink to compete with. While it might work on a long drive, it's not remarkable enough to be an all day vape for me. Thumbs sideways.
Desire: A guava/mango/vanilla mix according to the website. I get the guava and mango, and once again I get something vaguely sweet and creamy on the exhale that I suppose could be vanilla. It's subtle. It's very subtle. It's so subtle I think it might be shy, or consider itself so whip-smart I just don't get the subtlety of its references. Thumbs sideways.
Pleasure: Banana and Strawberry. I get both flavors, subtly, on both the inhale and exhale. This is....wait for it.....subtle. It's more of a strawberry/banana infused 'health water' you'd pay $6.50 for at a health club staffed by Lazer, Blazer, and the fitness consiglieri Michele than it is a strawberry/banana juice or smoothie. Thumbs sideways.
Vape Craving is, in my opinion, not marketed toward me. I don't think I'm subtle enough in my flavor profile or literary preferences to be in their target demographic. While the flavors aren't bad, they're just so light as to almost be ethereal. I prefer a bit more 'oomph' in my liquids, so they get an initial overall thumbs sideways but leaning downward for taste.
