It's here! :)

Ordered five bottles and received nine - free sample Nirvana lol View attachment 486736 View attachment 486737

Then, I fired up Word and got to vapin'!
Regulated mods – set at 19 watts
Mechs & RDA’s - running between .5 and .6 ohms
FOOB today – steeped for 3 days courtesy of USPS
All of these are 50/50 PG/VG with standard flavoring, 10mg nic

Vapor production on everything was good!

Unicorn Milk – IPV Mini 30w/Royal Hunter - Strawberry, Cheesecake, Bavarian Cream, Sweet Cream, Vanilla Custard, and Graham Cracker
Creamy strawberry goodness! This tastes just as complex as it sounds! Strawberry’s upfront, with a mild flavor of cheesecake right behind it. Graham cracker is juuust barely there on the back-end. The two creams and custard are what’s calming down the taste of the cheesecake – I couldn’t pick them out individually if I wasn’t reading it, but this is pretty tasty! Super-blonde juice – I don’t think this would gunk a coil even if I steeped this for a long while.

Pirates’ Treasure – Nemesis/Plume Veil - Rum, Brandy, Whipped Cream, Vanilla, and Cinnamon
Cinnamon’s upfront. If you’re not into spicy, stronger cinnamons, this one’s not for you. Rum’s coming in on the back end, slightly diluted by the brandy. Catching the vanilla in my nose when I exhale – nice! I can’t taste the whipped cream, but I think Slim may have added it just to calm the whole thing down. Predominantly cinnamon and booze – If you enjoy a cinnamon-spicy booze flavor, this is a good one! A light brown color to the juice – whether this steeps into a coil-killer remains to be seen. Solid throat hit.


Apple Cheesecake – SS Stingray/Derringer - Apple Pie, Sweet Cream, Cheesecake, and Graham Cracker
Exactly as described! This isn’t apple cheesecake – it’s an apple pie, with a complex spice profile to it – just a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, just delicious! I had to hunt this down on the site (it’s in Sweet Things) and I was a little worried that the cheesecake would get lost in the flavor of the apple pie. Oh, HECK NO, lol…the cheesecake stands proud on the inhale and blends beautifully with the taste of the apple pie. Vapor smells incredible! Mild, (but there!) throat hit. Medium/light tint to the juice – probably not a coil crusher.

Jack of Apples – Coolfire 4/Plume Veil - That delicious apple cinnamon flavored cereal we all love
A little disappointed with this one – an acceptable apple/cinnamon that won’t set your throat on fire, but there’s very little milk to it. Gonna let this one steep and see where it goes. Another very “blonde” juice - throat hit is 3 out of 5.

Okay, Man00ver! These are for you.

Dr. Whom? Copper Nemesis/Plume Veil - Cola, Cherry, and Toasted Almond
From reading Man00ver’s reviews of Vape Wild, I know he’s a fan of amaretto. This isn’t amaretto – it’s predominantly Cherry Coke, but I get a light taste of almond on the exhale. No throat hit – but not bad! 3.5 outta 5 stars, but that might go higher once the Doctor has a chance to steep.

Muddy Snowball – Coolfire 4/Little Boy - A sweet blend of Marshmallow, Dark Chocolate, and Coconut
Profoundly disappointing. I could swear this is ECBlend’s chocolate, and while I’m a regular customer of ECB, their chocolate’s not great. So, there’s that, with a whiff of coconut on the exhale. With an MTL hit, I get the marshmallow on the inhale. With a lung hit, the marshmallow zooms right past my taste buds and we’re back to that chocolate. Not optimistic that steeping is going to save this one, because IMHO, steeping has never improved ECBlend’s chocolate. Shoot….oh…zero throat hit.

Drunken Turtle – Stingray/Little Boy - An amazing mix of Fudge Brownies, Pralines and Cream, Salted Caramel, and Kahlua. One of the top sellers by far!!!!
Ruh-ro…more chocolate. But NO! First, this can easily double as a chocolaty room freshener! Another complex juice that manages to pop all of the flavors in the description. The brownies are up front, but this chocolate (I take it all back!) is delicious! I’ve got clueless, Midwest American (that was for Vapntime ;0) taste buds, so I’m not positive what Pralines and Cream are supposed to taste like, but there’s something mildly fig-style fruity in there, so that must be it. Keep inhaling and there’s the salted caramel, and just to show off, there’s just a whiff of coffee liqueur on the exhale which (sniffsniff!) is also what’s smelling up my living room. Very mild throat hit - Fantastic stuff. Definitely a re-order.

Okay! I don’t have any more mods that can run a sub-ohm coil! Gonna have to re-wick a few RDA’s here, before I can review the last two. This is a TON of juice for under $30 shipped!

Next up – Cereal Killa and Badger Grease. Don’t touch that dial!
I had the same reaction to Jack of Apples. One more disappointment, for that flavor. I stopped searching when I found Apples Jerks from Black Axis. The perfect blend of apple, cinnamon, and milk. At least, with the max vg.

I just received eight flavors from Slims: Godfather, Smurfed, Plum Apple Custard, Cereal Killer, Badger Grease, Vanilla Custard, The Greater Good and Belgian Blue. I have tried a tank of each one of these flavors in the last two days and must say I've been pleasantly surprised. All are very vapable with no steeping and I would imagine will only get better. I probably have 10,000 mls of juice on hand and am constantly ordering more and have to admit that this is probably the first time that half or more of my order haven't been flavors I set aside and never go back to. I'm pretty impressed with Slims.

I will probably get a sample pack, but I was hoping that somebody already did all the work and could point me in the right direction to Slim's 555 equivalent. :thumbs:

Edit: I even emailed them and asked them point blank, but no response yet.

They told me it's their Seven Leaves blend.

Thanks for posting! When you've spent a little more time with them, maybe you could offer some detailed impressions of the highlighted flavors? I'm very interested, in creamy stuff generally, and their waffles specifically....

I don't see "Seven Leaves" on the site. Did someone from Slim's tell you they were using "Seven Leaves" flavoring from FlavourArt? If so, did they say which mixes?

From what I've read, that tobacco flavoring is slightly sweet and woodsy, but I don't think it really falls in the 555 category. Does this sound like Halo's "Prime 15," @fogmust?

"Key elements from seven different blends combine to create a sublime flavour. The seven chosen were, fire cured, bright leaf, burley, shade, perique, latakia, oriental, which together offer a tobacco flavour which can still be used as a base for further developments. FlavourArt Seven Leaves exudes a nice dry and radiant note, with light undertones of dried leaves, woody nuances and a spicy edge. When vaped, it keeps its promises and delivers a delicate and light taste, making for a pleasant vaping experience."

Nice site! I'm gonna order the Apple Jerks and some Monkey Custard come payday...thanks, Dionysuskiss!
Your welcome :). Apple Jerks was the first juice I tried from them. The site was recommended from Treeburner, here. Between that, and the Milk Maid, they are my favorite cereal vapes.

Back on topic...I haven't seen anyone pick up any straight fruit blends. So far, the Electric Apricot is my favorite. I can taste every bit of the apricot, honeydew, strawberry and pear in this one. I let someone try it, so I can say it smells, just as good as it tastes...lol.

Yes, they did tell me. I'll try and find the email to verify.

@man00ver , to some extent, but not completely sure. Prime15 is a 555, definitely has tobacco and nuts type of taste.
I got a response from Slim's, and although they pointed out a few clones to 5P, it didn't sound like they had any Halo ones, at least not intentionally made.
They made a couple of suggestions and I have a few en route to me. I'll give them a try next week and report.

Bloody French, Deep Space, Orange Julio, and The Wizzard

I'm very interested in how you'll like all of these, especially Bloody French (Queenside clone) and Orange Julio (some killer reviews on that one). I enjoy Dr. Crimmy's Orange Crimmsicle, but I guess I'm still on the lookout for That One Orange Cream vape. The Wizard is loaded with reviews (though some recent ones complain about coil effects), and it's a profile that wouldn't normally jump out at me, so I'm curious about it. Please let us know!

@man00ver It has been a couple weeks now for your juices. Any changes with the steep on the flavors you have been using since day one? I'm hoping to see my shipment tomorrow. As much as I want to let them steep another week I just washed three tanks and set them aside this morning. I'm just not a steeper. I am not used to juices that require it, but I'll try. I have an ancient HH357 long barrel so that's probably the best way for me to sample them fresh.

I've been investigating Black Axis juice, and all my tester SMOK tanks are loaded with a second helping of it right now. But you're right, it's about time to revisit my Slim's order to check on any steeping changes, so that's up next in the coming week. Plus, I want to run them all through the Subtank as well.

The Pumpkin Pie is very good. I don't know how well the extra cream will translate. The regular amount is more then enough for me. A very nice sweet, creamy finish. I just wish I had noticed the Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake, first...lol

The Wizard is surprisingly good. I wouldn't have chosen it, either. But I got more than one sample of it(they seem to be proud of it). It's got quite a peachy flavor, to it.

Holy Crud! I was digging though my old samples, and discovered I had Unicorn Magic! It's been steeping for a few months now. This is going to be gooood.
