TastyVapor: Blueberry Cheesecake

[miakauisan]

First: A little back story. Feel free to skip down to the actual review.

Ordered a few juices from Geoff during the October "buy 2 get 1 free" sale and I just violently ripped open the box in excitement gently opened the nicely sealed box. When I placed my order I made a request for a surprise flavor with a little back story on my taste preferences. I had no idea what I would receive and was wonderfully excited to find out .

My surprise flavor turned out to be Blueberry Cheesecake. I have to admit...upon seeing this I was...afraid...I don't really care for sweet flavors and my experience with fruit "flavors" is that they NEVER taste like the fruit. They always taste artificial and/or are overly sweet, lacking the natural sour that the real fruit has. Nevertheless, I frantically rinsed, blew out, alcohol-ed and re-blew out an atomizer for my taste test.

My opinion:

Blueberry Cheesecake 12mg.
Vaped with a manual 510.

Smell: Blueberry is the primary smell. There's a slight tartness to it that definitely got my hopes up. Also, there is an absolutely delicious graham cracker scent that sneaks in past the blueberry. "Cheesecake" is defintely a background scent. It's not incredibly discernible...but there is a creamy, cheesy smell in there. The scent reminds me of blueberry "window" cookies.

Taste: HOLY CRAP!!! Completely unlike the smell but still exactly the same. All of the flavors, in the scent, are there but mingled in a great harmony. No one flavor really comes out and screams at you for attention. It's got this creamy blueberry taste with a graham cracker background. The blueberry is not overpowering and not overly sweet. The cheesecake too, doesn't clamor over the other flavors. And yes, the cheesecake is there much more in flavor than in smell. Exhaling through your mouth brings out more of the brighter tartness and sweetness. Exhaling through your nose brings out more of the warmer flavors like the graham cracker and vanilla.

I. Like. This. I don't like sweets. I REALLY like this. It's not overly cloying. It is sweet, yes, but the flavors complement each other in such a way that its a pleasant sweetness.

Over all, as I said, I like it . If you are someone that likes plain cheesecake more than flavored or sauced cheesecake...you may have a different opinion. The cheese cake is there, yes, but not IN YO FACE! To me, this is what I would like a flavored/sauced cheesecake to taste like. If i order a blueberry cheesecake I want it to taste like blueberries AND cheesecake. Not cheesecake and SOME blueberries.

Score:

Flavor: 10. It's pleasing to my "prefers salty and savory" palate and I love how the flavors blend instead of screaming for attention.

Closeness to "the real thing": 10. As stated, it's a good approximation of what I would want in a "blueberry cheesecake".

Vapor: 10. The only thing I've seen create more cumulus clouds in my house would be straight up VG. Nice swirly, fluffy puffs.

Throat hit:5. I think TH is entirely dependent on too many factors...but I'll put up a score just so I don't get asked. This is a 12mg juice and there is a throat hit from my 510...its not razorblades and fishhooks but there is a definite "itch". ...I'm not huge on throat hit anyway...so 5 is a good score for me.

Once again, I am overly impressed with this juice. It has so much more depth to it than I expected. Thank you Geoff for the surprise!

I'll follow on this review since I also purchased Blueberry Cheesecake.

First, the transaction: Awesome. Extremely fast. Paid on a Saturday and got my liquids on a Tuesday(!!!!!).

Next, the juice: I ordered two, just to try TV out.

Blueberry Cheesecake
I'm getting many of the smell/flavor nuances described above, too. Lots of graham cracker, some creaminess, and an overlay of blueberry... true to label, though not tons of cheesecake flavor, I am really enjoying it anyway. Nice amount of vapor (that's always so subjective!) on a manual 510. Satisfying, and the flavor really lingers.
Overall I'd give this very high marks.

Chocolate Orange Buttercream (a custom flavor request of mine)
You could smell this one quite clearly when it was still in the bottle. (Not unpleasant, though.) Orange is definitely dominant. Tastes like orange marmalade with a bit of chocolate underneath, on first vape. Perhaps I should have gotten Orange Cream instead of Orange, as this has a marmalade-y bitterness I wasn't expecting and it masks the other flavors. But I'll keep vaping it, as one's opinion can change over time as the flavors become clearer.
(If I don't start warming to it, I think I may try adding a dab of flavoring to it and playing around with that a bit, because the orange marmalade flavor could be really wonderful if it were balanced out a bit.)
Even if this isn't a first-try hit, I have hope.

I also think very highly of TV overall for making such strong flavors. Really great value, too.

I'll definitely be ordering again soon.

I just got some 24mg Butter Rum, Strawberry Cheesecake and Cafe Machiato from them this week - they are all very flavorful and full-bodied. Probably too rich for me to vape all day, but they each make a great treat.
