Two more reviews for today.

Geoff's Blend: Sweet & Spicy. Like many others I get a "juicy fruit gum" vibe from this one, but with a shot of "big red gum" too. Its an ok vape, but not something I'd rush to buy or use. I'll try it again in a couple of weeks.

Pralines -n- Cream: Sweet and warm. I know warms sounds odd for an ice-cream type flavor, but to me this is more like a melted caramel & vanilla treat. I don't tast the pecans right now. Would love to say that "maybe I'll taste them after it ages" but I honestly doubt that this little bottle is gonna get much more time to age. It also mixes well with Almond Horn.

I'll start my review with 6 flavors, the first 5 of which I had prior to the co-op, so keep in mind they've had time to age and also contain nic (amounts noted).

Atomic Cinnacide-(12mg/35pg):
I have to admit, I was not blown away by this when I first tried it (I know...BLASPHEMY here on TV's forum!) While it had a strong cinnamon taste, it also had a perfumy aftertaste, which may have been due to using a carto, according to some threads here.
I set it aside for a couple of weeks and tried it again on one of those days when nothing seemed to have any flavor and...WOW...zapped my taste buds right back to life! A drop or two can also really enhance other flavors.
Generally too potent for me to use all day, everyday, but it's a definite keeper.

Tastyfinger-(12mg/35vg):
I love Tastyfinger; loved it right out of the box. It’s a smooth, subtle blend of peanut butter and chocolate…sometimes a bit too subtle. I have a tendency to chain-vape in attempts to get stronger flavor from it and probably should have requested a flavor boost when I re-ordered it w/doubler, but I didn’t… and I still love it. Keeper.

Almond Horn-(24mg/35vg):
I liked this when I first tried it, even though I thought it was very mild. It has evolved into a rich almond…reminds me of Chinese Almond cookies. Just delicious.
A smooth, mellow vape. Keeper.

Butter Rum-(24mg/35vg)
I like this—smells and tastes like a butter rum life saver, strong on the rum. This is a flavor I find nice for a change, but can’t vape constantly.
Keeper, but one bottle will last me a long time and I most likely won't re-order it.

Cafe Mocha-(12mg/35vg):
I love coffee flavors. I poured over reviews about this and Macchiato and decided to buy this one first. The coffee flavor was strong, much stronger than the chocolate, which I could barely taste. I added some butter cream to it to mellow it out and the chocolate emerged some and I liked it enough to re-order. It’s very good and I’ll use up what I have left, no problem, but in the future I’ll order my new TV coffee favorite instead…

Cafe Macchiato-(0nic)
I love this! I should have known I’d like this one best by the ingredients (dairy, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, coffee) …it’s the flavor I’d been inching toward by blending Butter Cream/Cafe Mocha. It’s strong, but I find it smoother than the Mocha. I don’t actually taste all the different ingredients (yet?), but it’s still totally satisfying, even at 0nic. I’ll definitely be placing an order for this. Keeper.

With all do respect PLEASE leave your reviews for anything that is mixed with these doublers in their prospective sub-forum. This thread is for TV Doubler reviews only. Thank you

Don't forget about not saying what you added to the doublers.

Queen doesn't want to hear about that.

I'm not sure...was this directed at me?

When I mentioned adding TV's Butter Cream to Cafe Mocha to mellow it out, I was explaining how it enhanced the taste of Cafe Moche for me...that's all. It helped me to describe the flavor.

I believe VaporingQueen was referring to people mentioning products from other venders on TV's site, which we all understand is a big no-no. ;)

This is exactly what I meant

If you mix 2 doublers of TV flavors, yeah we want to hear about how that went. If you add another suppliers flavors to a doubler then no we don't want to hear about that in TV forum, that would belong in the e liquid review forum.

Now play nice!

Here's my erm, crappy review. I'm not too good with describing things lol and yes a couple are missing. Tastebud overload!!
1. Goeff's blend - Err...what the hell is this?? I taste banana I swear......cinnamon?.....Similiar to bananas foster, though my tastebuds could be playing tricks. Oh man I dunno

what it is but it tastes amazing! lol 10/10!!

2. Banana Foster - Amazing flavor, not like candy, like a real banana. Has a strongish Nutmeg? Flavor 8/10

3. Pralines and Cream

4. Cafe Macchiato - Choclatey coffee goodness, not very sweet though. definate like. 7/10

5. Mint Chocolate Chips - Amazing, stunning, strong on the chocolate and mint. 10/10

6. Carmel Popcorn - Strong flavor, definate popcorn with a caramel aftertaste. 10/10

7. Coconut Cream Pie - Very ummm..coconuty? Heh, I'm not much for coconut but if you are, then this ones for you ;)

8. Pistachio Ice Cream

9. Butter Rum - Not sure I really like this. Hmmm...taste too much rum for my liking. 4/10

10. Almond Horn - Meh, don't like it much, might have to mix it with something. Can't even explain the flavor...3/10

11. Strawberry Cheese Cake - I keep coming back and ordering this, it's amazing. Strong strawberry with a cheesecake undertone. 10/10

12. Cafe Mocha - lots of coffee, not much chocolate, might have to add some sweetener to it. Really like that coffee taste though, mmmm. 7/10

13. Tobacco - Trying this now it's subtle, not too strong. Haven't been able to vape tobacco in a long time but I can sit vaping this all day. Maybe it's just me but I swear there's

a very slight nutty tone. Love it. 10/10

14. Amaretto Stone Sour - Tastes just like the drink! 8/10

15. Keylime Pie - Mmmmm tastes just like it's name, strong flavor, really like it. 7/10

I am letting my goodies sit before I REALLY sample them. Did try 1 today though to see if I would like it enough to trade some AC for it.

Bananas Foster: I really wanted this to rock and I came away satisfied enough to make the trade. First hit is a mild cinnamon followed by some vanilla with a carmelized sugar/alcohol note. Didn't get as much Banana from it as I hoped but it is there as a very very mild support taste. Tasty but not as boomtastic as AC, TastyFinger or Mint Chocolate Chip. Beats Key Lime without the pie crust though.

I've had these for a bit and vape them at 24mg nic and ~20%VG:

AC: First time I hit it, I succumbed. Best ever. I really thought I had inhaled juice. I didn't. After vaping it for awhile, I found it didn't quite live up to the hype. It's a badass vape but it's not Conan.

At the beginning it was a little metallic which has mellowed. It has a very pronounced tip of the tongue taste that is both sweet and uber-cinnamony. At 24 mg, there is definitely throat hit. I find that it is the back of the tongue that seems to miss out on the party. I have ended up mixing AC with a Cinnamon from another supplier that has next to no tip of the tongue pop but is loaded with back of the tongue goodness. Between the 2 I have a fantastic and not overpowered all day cinnavape.

TastyFinger: What can I say? Butterfinger is my most favorite candybar. This juice tastes amazingly like it. No mistaking the chocolate and the (what is it?) buttery/toffee/peanutty pow. Awesome with the morning coffee. Rocks. Only potential downside is that the TF has kind of a dry finish. Not bad, just is what it is. I don't want it to have a drool finish but if I could change one thing about TF, that is it. Minor.

MCC: WTF?!? How am I vaping a Girl Scout cookie? I dunno but I keep doing it. Those first hits are stunning. Then it turns into a neverending battle between the mint and chocolate as to who is most dominant. Mint tends to win but if you count the chocolate out, yer a dumbass. Meanwhile, the lil' cookieness just hangs out and eats your snacks and laughs at the other 2 pinheads. :pop:

Key Lime sans Crust: Meh. I got it because it is TV and I hoped it would pwn the Lime I got from another supplier that is the most impressive juice I have vaped but needs more flavor. It's kind of Limey with a little sweet and an even smaller bit of tart to it. It is far from awful, just isn't close to what I know Lime can be.

TV. Very accurate flavors so far. It's like pizza, even when it is "bad" it is good. Beats the hell out of so many other juices...it's not fair. Toss in the price and it demands a Congressional investigation. :evil:

We should have ordered Licorice. :p

I have to agree with this review. The Macchiato is just incredible particularly with my morning latte. I believe this is one flavor that I will have to order in a larger bottle.

I have tried a few more now. In fact based on what I have tried, I just placed an order with Geoff for three (all I could afford right now)

Bananas Foster is still my fave and I ordered this along with caramel popcorn and cafe mocha. I maybe should have ordered macchiato, but I couldn't taste too much difference and I know I loved the mocha sample in 12 mg that I traded for last month.

Root beer float: The only flavor I have tried that I really didn't like. I don't know what it tastes like, but it doesn't taste like root beer to me and has a strong chemical taste.

Almond horn: This was ok. I was expecting more after reading others describe it. Maybe if I had extra flavor added it would be better. It was nice, just very understated in flavor.

Atomic Cinnicide: WOW! I was almost afraid to try this because I thought it would be too strong. It's not. It is sweeter and less cinnamon'y than I thought it was going to be, which is nice. It's not so red hot like the red hot candies but more of the flavor without the feeling of hotness. I definitely see me ordering some of this in the future.

I've got a few more sampled and omnomnom!

Apple Pie, was ok, but I tasted more Pie than Apple. I get the pie spices and the crust but didn't really taste the apple at all. Having had TV straight Apple, I do know that it is a light flavor. I'll give this one more time to blend and retest.


Cafe Macchiato, this one surprised me. I don't generally like coffee vapes of any type, despite being a coffee addict. This one was just barely "ok" on first vape, harsh and bitter. But as I continued to vape it, it became better and better. I don't think I'd order much of it, but it might be nice to have on hand for a change up from time to time. Might try to trade for another 5ml bottle later.


Coconut Cream Pie, OMG, I'm in LOVE! This tastes EXACTLY like Coconut Cream Pie! Not kinda, not similar, not almost.... EXACTLY! I'll be ordering a 2oz doubler of this one this week. Its a must have! And I've decided that its so good that Banana Cream Pie must be good by association. I'll be so happy when Geoff gets the doublers going in the new flavors. *shivers with excitement at the thought*

My first impression was Andes Mints. I can totally see thin mints though... I got a similar Andes Mint impression with the Mojito, but with lime substituted for chocolate. So you're right, the chocolate is an integral part.
