Smilin Menthol, Cinnamon Roll, Caramel Mocha Frap

[JohnnyVapor]

Sorry for making what is probably a duplicate thread, but I wanted to post a small review of these new flavors.

First up, Smilin Special Menthol. In a word, interesting. It has a much stronger menthol feel than the earlier menthol. There's also a good mint presence, but it doesn't overpower the menthol. Also, I know it has coffee in it, but I swear it tastes like mint menthol chocolate. Definitely a cool, refreshing flavor. Probably would be great in the morning or before bed.

Next on the PT is Cinnamon Roll. After having tried the old Cinnamon flavor and it not actually tasting like cinnamon, I've been really hoping for a good cinnamon carto. This certainly delivers it. I don't taste much roll, but certainly a lot of cinnamon. This one gives some throat burn and coughing, at least for me. It'll be a sometimes, lighter vape. I really like the flavor, but it does bite back.

Next I'll spin on the Caramel Mocha Frappachino. I was looking forward to this flavor, as I love coffee in all it's incarnations. Unfortunately, at first this one isn't jiving with me. I swear it tastes like Johnsonville smoked sausage to me. I'll have to come back to this one later.

Finally, thank you V4L team for continuing to keep cranking out the new flavors. While not everyone will like every flavor, you have so many that people are almost guaranteed to find the one for them. Keep up the great work!

That's the thing..everyone has different tastes! That's why reviews are great! And I have found what is not suited to me..my son adores, so he is always hoping I don't like something! LOL

My taste buds are different at different times of the day or affected by what I'm eating or drinking so I make sure to revisit a flavor several times before I decide. A couple I thought I hated I enjoyed later, only a couple have been total no way to me.

I just got some of the Smilin' Menthols today - I like them a lot. To me, they tasted a bit like the little Andes after-dinner chocolate mints. Well-done, V4L!!

Thanks for the honest review.

I've given coffee and cappucino (med juice) a fair shot, but I've discovered they aren't for me. Knowing that, would you say I should stay away from the Carmel Mocha Frapp and the SMILIN Menthol? I'm definitely a mint/menthol lover all the way, Cool, Nuport and regular Menthol are my favorites... just don't care for the coffee flavored vapes I've tried so far.

I'm getting the Frappuccino today! Can't wait to try it. I should be getting the cinnamon bun early next week!

Definitely try the Smilin Menthol. I would recommend it to anyone that has even a passing interest in menthol. Like I said, I didn't taste coffee anywhere in there.

As for the Caramel Mocha Frappachino, it's hard to say. If you don't like coffee, you probably wouldn't like it. If you like smoked sausage, maybe.

I got my frappuccino and it tastes like coffee with cream/cappuccino and caramel. I don't taste any sausages... was kinda looking forward to that. LOL

It's really good if you like the cappuccino, you'll like this one.

I used this carto on an xl 5 sec. cutoff battery, with a pretty good charge on it, carto was an 18mg one.

Also, just tried the cinnamon roll, 18mg on the same battery. 18mg also. It's really cinnamon, the kind from the bakery, I'm not tasting the roll, either, but this is a true blue cinnamon flavor and it tastes great. It's a pretty strong flavor, I don't have the nerve to put this one on the passthrough. LOL

Just got my order with the Smilin Special Menthol today, and wow, this is the best menthol I've tried yet, easily my favorite. It does strike me more of a mint/menthol and chocolate flavor than coffee, but it's really good. This is a flavor I hope they start carrying in 20ml bottles, cause I'm enjoying it a lot more than just standard menthol.

 

[Mary Kay]

I loved the cinnamon! But you are right..it does bite back..but then so do I!

...that is TOO funny that you said this... I tried it for the first time earlier this evening long before I saw your post, and thought... HAM!! So just tried it again real quick and did taste the other flavors more this time... So yes, Caramel Mocha Frappachino Ham! (Maybe oddest of all is, even given that I still have no firm idea what I think of it yet, and for all I know it could end up being a fav! )

Taste really is a very subjective and funny thing. I do taste the "roll" part, or maybe it's more of a smell; I'm not sure whether to say it's yeasty, or wheatey, but it is there. At least, to my funny and subjective tastebuds.

 

[Pugzley]

The more I puffed on the cinnamon roll carto, the better it tasted. You have to break that one in a little bit more than the cappuccino/frappucino types, I think.

 

[Mary Kay]

That carto lasted all evening! It was good down to the last vape. I need refill liquid!

 

[Pugzley]

I am so excited to see the new flavors when they come in! Can't wait to place that order. I hope customs doesn't act up anymore.

 

[Bullitt]

I love all the takes on the flavors.
Will I find myself saying in the future " No thanks honey, I'll pass on dinner. I just finished vaping my Bleu Cheese crusted fillet with sweet potato, green beans and garlic bread cart."?
LOL

I know, huh? LOL I already vape my desserts, now if we can just get some bread going, my low carb diet will be complete.

OK, it's official. My taste buds are truly screwed up.

I've been having a lot of trouble with flavors for the last couple of weeks. Even my 555 has started tasting strange.

I just got home from visiting my daughter and there were 2 orders waiting for me.

The Cinamon Roll tastes like cola & the Frapp tastes like burned coffee.

I know it's not the flavors, it's me. I keep hoping it will settle down, but so far it's not.

I've been through the taste buds change a couple of times before, but this time is the pits! I can't tell from day to day how things are going to taste.
