A few days ago, I ordered a sample pack from Pink Spot Vapors: Gourmet & Signature E-Juice Flavors Here's the story of trying some new flavors, in all its glory.
I'd never heard of Pink Spot before, but their flavor, Pink Spot, was highly recommended. So I placed an order.
Now, some background to set the scene. I own a limousine service. This morning I was supposed to drive for a funeral. I picked up several folks at their home, took them to the church and waited outside for them to finish with the service. It was scheduled to take less than a half an hour. When we crossed the three hour mark, I started to get bored. I hadn't brought a book and my phone was about dead from watching YouTube videos, I had finished the bottle of water I brought with me. So I opened up my juice bag and decided to try some new juices.
I put a fresh battery in my trusty Chuck, vaped out the remains of my last drip of boba's and went for Pink Spot's flagship flavor, Pink Spot. It occurred to me as I was dripping it in that, given the name and the color of it, they had never really planned to sell this stuff to men. As the name suggests, it is pink. It smells like pink. It even tastes like pink. The flavor of it reminds me of strawberry kiwi Kool-Aid. The flavor is mild, slightly sweet and very pleasurable. Vapor production was fantastic, throat hit was a little on the weak side.
I'll probably order Pink Spot again, but I'll put it in an opaque bottle and write something on it like, "Deer Blood" or maybe "One night with a French ....." These have no basis on how it tastes, it just needs something a little more manly than Pink Spot...
When that was vaped out I opened up a flavor called Honey Cured Tobacco. I've never been a huge fan of most tobacco flavors. Very few of them actually taste like tobacco on my pallet. The best I've found so far is Halo's Bella Valente, reminds me of a good cigar. So I dripped this stuff in and took a puff. Then I quickly opened the front door of my limousine and very nearly vomited in the gutter.
You know that smell you get when you first turn on the heat in your house in the fall? The musty burning smell of dust burning off? It tastes like that. Its not exactly what I'd call delicious. I'd put it somewhere between ghastly and absolutely vile. I took a few more puffs to make sure it wasn't some kind of weird reaction with any leftovers in my atty. After a few minutes, I did get a hint of honey. Honey flavored burning dust. I will say that vapor production was very good, however the scent of the vapor itself was reminiscent of what I imagine a hobo's undergarments to smell like. The worst part of this experience was when this also incredibly thin juice got in my mouth. As I once again opened the car door and spat in the gutter, my empty water bottle seemed to smirk at me, as if it was saying, "Good luck buddy. Next time make the water last!" I sucked the last droplets from its thin plastic corpse and wiped the inside of my mouth with a paper towel to try and get the funk off my tongue.
Never again. NEVER AGAIN!
After a few minutes of recovery time, I steeled my loins and broke out a new atomizer and brand new bottle of Tahiti Breeze. As I looked at this, I was overcome with a sense of trepidation. My gag reflex triggered for something like the tenth time, at the memory of the awful that was Honey Cured. I considered for a moment that I should get another paper towel and re-wipe the inside of my mouth. This new liquid didn't look much better. It is the color of cheap beer and smells like sunscreen. I dripped in a few drops, let it settle and took a puff.
The head note is all banana. It is not overpowering, but sweet and light, then you notice the coconut, coming in behind it. Then it finishes off with a faint undertone of lime and the very slightest hint of menthol, which gives it a cool taste rather than to add a mint flavor. Its like a perfect frozen Daiquiri or Pina Colada. It honestly makes me think of the days I spent laying on the beach in Cozumel, drinking rum punch out of a coconut shell. It is refreshing and relaxing at the same time and the flavor is enough to transport you to a sandy beach and lay you on a blanket in the sun. It is wonderful, even if it's for only a moment.
The throat hit is very light, vapor production is moderate but what it lacks in those departments, it makes up for with flavor.
Tahiti Breeze is like a master class in liquid mixing. It is balanced perfectly to be sweet and fruity and cool at the same time. I couldn't vape it all day, but I can see myself breaking this open after a hard day at work or on a hot day in the summer. I generally don't go in for fruity flavors, but I will always have some of this juice on hand, it is that good.
Every juice vendor I've ever ordered from has some good flavors, and some not so good flavors. And what tastes horrid to me might be your favorite of all time. So take this with a grain of salt, and give Pink Spot a try. At least two of their liquids are top knotch in my mind.
I hope you found this story entertaining. -XDoctor
