I LOVE fresh lychee but it's hard to get in the states. The only thing I've been able to get here is candy from Japan but the lychee Clark uses is just freakin amazing!! :thumb:

Yeah, I started reading up on it after she had mentioned it and it sounds really interesting. Might not be up sloth's ally since I keep reading about a 'floral' taste. I would love to find some fresh real fruit to check out also since I very much love fruit in real life and not just vape flavors! :D

I want to try lychee - never had it. only lychee tea and refresh both of which are great!

Well Hummingbird was Clark's lychee/cranberry mix but it was a short run (and I am rationing my remaining supply). I would recommend trying CranChi and DragonChi both by Halcyon Vapors, one of the few juices I buy in quantities I buy NT in.

CLS - it took one pull to know this is better on the REO IMM. I'm not shocked and I absolutely adore CLS anyway. But, I'm tasting custard like never before. This is vanilla CUSTARD guys and gals! CLS is amazing! Also must add it's steeped a couple weeks since I tried it solo last. So that plays part as well. Can't say which adds more to the taste, dripping or steeping, but all I know is i'm so happy with it right now. Tells me my Naki's run in the REO just wasn't my favorite percentage wise. gotta work on that - more CLS next time. btw I LOVE CB so don't take my mixing preference the wrong way :)

Bravo, Bravo!!! :vapor::vapor:

I've found it at asian groceries mostly. We have a chain of stores here called H-Mart that is mostly Korean (so SO much kimchee!!!) and once in a while I can find them there though they always pale in comparison to buying them from the open air markets in Tokyo when I was there. I'd buy a few hundred Yen worth (about $3) which would be a dozen or more and walk home eating the fruit with juice running down my arms. Oh man, I miss that!!! :drool:

CB - another total winner. Fan-tastic in the REO. Total proof I need to adjust my Naki's Blend ratio and I'll be floored. Having never had Creme Brulee the desert, I can't really speak much on the flavor notes but I can tell you I love it and it is very smooth and rounded tasting.

Ok three left to go. Frenilla. Strawnilla. PBC. The other flavors I've got--like Refresh, GCD, RTB--are all NZ so I will do another test like this with Chrissy one night (she's camping tonight, hence "men's night out" for me and doggy) for those flavors. Gravity I have in nic but not feeling it tonight...getting kinda tired of swapping wicks. Gonna land on PBC and likely fill that bottle. Have never tried Frenilla, except earlier today--a few drops on top of Virus squonks. So it'll just be my thoughts on Frenilla, period :)

If you have a central market in town they carry lychees. Asian grocery stores generally do as well but the one by my house is out!! Of I'm not mistaken we aren't quite in lychee season so that might be why.

Strawnilla - ok, in between each of the previous juices, I rinsed the RM2 in warm water, dry burned and re-wicked. I wanted to taste each fully on its own. Not so here - since I've actually tried SN in Gothics already and forgot to mention it earlier, plus Frenilla is a large part of Strawnilla so figured they'd mix without much overlap. I like SN infinitely better having tried Frenilla now, if that makes sense. I can taste the strawberry more, maybe because I'm familiar with what Frenilla tastes like on its own. Both of these are stellar. Strawnilla I do prefer in the REO for sure based on previous experience.

PBC time. Stay tuned.

The question of the night is will I actually land with a bottle of PBC as predicted this whole time? Or will Frenilla or Strawnilla be the winner?

I guarantee you that they mix fantastically...can't wait to try it. Wakonda + extra vanilla? oh man, sounds like a fairy tale goodness...

sorry I'm laggin on the PBC...i won't lie...don't repeat a marathon like I'm doing if all these flavors are 18mg. LOL. i've been mostly using 12 in the REO lately, since I have Wakonda in 12. Virus has been 18 but I don't marathon-it like this LOL

it's loaded though, here we go...then sloth's taking time out and REO's taking a bath.

PBC - I would be smashing things but my head is spinning LOL. This is every bit as good as in the KFL - no better or worse at least not that I notice offhand. I love this juice. Took me a while but it grew on me to a loving companion. I recommend it to anyone - it's not even an overpowering peanut butter. it's a good, wonderfully baked peanut butter cookie :)

Now, I hear Frenilla mixes great with PBC, no? Ratio recommendations? I may try a drip of Frenilla in there before i decide what to load up.

There is nothing like a fresh, ripe Asian pear bought off the street market in South Korea. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Very true!! When I left Tokyo I bought a few Asian pears to eat at the airport and I was so sad when I finished my last one...:unsure:

And I was sad that I missed persimmon season, LOVE persimmons!!!

Persimmons are one fruit I absolutely cannot do. I tried it once and it felt like I had taken a big bite of dirt. Apparently it wasn't quite ripe.
