The e-cig cartridge flavours, my thoughts.

[MNZ]

Here are my thoughts on the flavours so far, I'll edit in my thoughts on the blank ones as I try them out.

I'm trying them in an e-cigarillo and a pen style, two carts each so there is no lingering left over flavour from the previous flavour carts by the time I get to cart two.
(I would have put this in the review forum, but I can't create a new thread there)

Light... clayton's flavour, the flavour you're having when you're not having a flavour
Regular... good body, a bit stronger and would be perfect for regular use
Flue-Cured... good definate flavour, perhaps a bit much for all day use, cigar or pipe only
Almond... hardly any flavour, definitely not almond
Apple... quite pleasant, not overpoweringly apple, slightly acidic taste
Cherry... not bad, more choc/cherry than cherry, bit like cherry liquor, cherry heering perhaps
Chocolate... cheap chocolate milk flavour rather than a real chocolate taste, disappointing
Coffee... no discernable coffee flavour, bland
Cream... nice flavour, bit like a cross between evaporated milk & sweetened condensed milk
Grape... grape ? No, but not unpleasant, quite strong flavour but a bit to sweet
Lemon... slightly sherbet lemon, bit insipid
Melon... lolly melon taste rather than a fruity melon flavour, midori ?
Orange... citrus, but not really orange, slightly bitter, like bitter marmalade
Peach... bit cloying and slightly nauseating, unpleasant
Pineapple... disappointing lack of flavour
Plum... unusual flavour, not fruity, more like slivovic
Menthol... not menthol like tobacco, a sweet mint flavour, sharper and stronger would be better
Strawberry... artificial, jammy flavour
Ginseng... horrible, couldn't even finish the first cart !
Green Tea... interesting flavour, tends to stick in the back of my throat a bit, not a favourite
Liquorice... bland and disappointing overall, shame really as I like licourice
Rose... pleasant light flavour with a slightly lemon background
Vanilla... light vanilla flavour, too light really
Marlboro... strength between regular and flue cured, tends to dry my mouth more than others, similar to marlboro
Hilton... hard to distinguish from the regular flavour

Nice contribution, I look forward to reading your updates. Maybe the mods can resolve the posting problem.

Please clarify, which flavors are you reviewing? Bickfords? Jane's juice? E-cig liquid? E-cig carts?


UPDT: okay I see, the e-cig.com cartridge flavors. thanks

 

[bishybob]

Yes it would be great to put this in the review section and have everyone post their opinions on the different flavors they got from different sites.

I'm still debating on what flavors to order and it would help me a lot.

Also... Anyone have an opinion on the Marlboro flavor? It seems weird to me to name a liquid flavor "Marlboro".

Anyone tried the cream or green tea flavored? I've had the green tea Pocky Sticks and they're are great! It's a common flavor in Japan...

Hi bishybob,

I've just evaluated the cream flavour from e-cig and it's not bad, it seems a bit smoother than some of the others I've tried so far. I'm thinking that once I can get liquid out of China again I might try mixing this with other flavours as a modifier, for example, flue cured I find a bit much for all day use, the addition of an amount of cream might change my opinion and make it my favourite.

Marlboro is on the list, I'll post my thoughts on it after I've given it a decent trial (two carts in two devices)

I just tried the "oriental" flavor from my kissbox.

All I have to say about this is...

GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh, patoooey! Taste like I'm smoking ramen noodles! I definitely don't like it.

Glad it was one of the freebies cuz I'd have to kick myself if I bought a boatload of them.

I tried the oriental flavor cartridge that was sent with my kissbox. Glad it was a freebie because I would have kicked myself if I bought a boatload.

Anybody notice that this one taste like you're smoking Ramen Noodles???? UGH. Gross! It gave me a nasty headache.

I do like the mint, though. But it's taking some time to get the ramen noodle residue out of the atomizer.

 

[jonnymagic]

anyone tried the ruyan rn4 (i think that's the name) hd carts from janty?

Finally, after a whole lot of serious sucking, my list of thoughts on the e-cig cartridge flavours is completed.

Where do you buy those flavors? It matters. I have tried tobacco taste from both Njoy and Janty and they taste very differently! They are both quite good but I think the Njoy taste is better.

 

[bishybob]

Does anyone have experience with Jane's 555 flavor? I heard it's similar to e-cig's flu-cured, like a sweet nutty tobacco flavor.

I probably should have asked this before I ordered it... I put in a small order for some to top off my carts.

 

[Klaue]

I have tried the mint, ry4 and ori of janty
first let me tell you that I still don't know if I have a broken device (i'm very disappointed until now and got back to only use the e-cig on the way to work and the way back home)

Mint - Very few taste, almost not detectable, but the very light flavor is not bad. Not much smoke. No hit in the throat at all, feels like breathing.
Ruyan nr4 - Good taste, but also almost not there. A little bit more taste than mint but still about 30% of what I would expect. Normal hit in the throat, not much smoke but more than with mint. Second catridge gets me less smoke than Mint though...
Original - Not much taste (about as much as the mint) and I can't really categorise it. Huge hit in the throat, almost painful, feeled a bit like inhaling razors (my real cigs are not that strong, that may be the reason). Less smoke than RY4

Well, I expected more. Maybe the e-liquid-flavors from freesmoke are better, I think those are the next I try if I can get myself to waste even more money on e-cigs :/

All carts, got some liquid but haven't got around to it yet.

Janty:

Mint. Good bite, actually quite minty, no real hit. Keeper
Normal Tobacco. Good all rounder. Bite, hit, vapour and flavour authentic. Best of Janty.
RY4. Pretty good all round but gets old quickly. Too sweet for constant use.
Apple. excellent taste for occasional use. (Might change, I'm still a tobacco taste fan)
Oriental. Awful. Good performer on bite and vapour but has horrible top note and aftertaste. My wife says she can smell it and it pongs of pee.
I have a box of Janty MLB carts as yet untried (don't like the fags, probably won't like the juice).

NJOY:

Regular Tobacco. Excellent flavour and vapour. No real bite, OK hit but I only had medium strength.
Apple. As above but tastier. NJOY's carts are exorbitant but at least they're good.

Sedansa:

Medium strength Tabac. Best flavour in my experience of e-smoking. My Sedansa's a supermini, so the excellence of flavour is spoiled somewhat by short cart life and fiddliness of exchange.

I've had one high strength Marlboro cart from Sedansa. It was like smoking a sweaty sock after a dog peed on it (so bullseye on the authentic Marlboro experience).

Super eCig

Regular tobacco flavour, various strengths. Bit of a weird taste to these, almost butterscotch, and definitely leaves a greasy residue. However, the vapour is incredible.

Electronic Cigarette Pen-Style.

Basic Tobacco flavour is pretty good, ticks all four of my boxes (flavour, bite, vapour, hit). I'm still working through the variants but so far vanilla and cherry are standout flavours.

That's as far as I've been.

Don't want to wander off topic but a quick question. Does anyone have a Sedansa Diva and if so do the carts fit on any other pen-styles?

Pongs of pee? That's funny! I didn't think that...but it DOES overwhelmingly reek of ramen noodles in my opinion. This is the only e-cig flavor (that I know of) that actually leaves an odor when you use it. My daughter said it made her gag.

 

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

I got sweet talked into four boxes of the damn stuff (3 x Yentl, 1 x Classic) because the boys were out of my first choice. Even worse they're HD carts.

I think these are destined to be the cartridges of last resort, and definitely for home-use only. That flavour has the potential to screw up my charm offensive in the local bars.

Yes, the Sedansa Diva is a Janty type, so its carts fit in the Janty Classic, and E-puffer. They'll also fit in the Njoy/Pillbox type, but not perfectly.

I've got to buy a box of those for my Thai friends to try before my next trip.

I put in a 30ml order for this with Jane, since I couldn't really afford cartridges this paycheck I figured this was the cheapest way to go.

I don't think it's too late to change my order. Could someone at least confirm that the 555 flavor isn't going to make me gag?

 

[karenwest1961]

I love Jane's 555 flavor. It kicks .... Good choice!

Leaford, don't order any oriental for your friends. If you could take this pack of ramen noodle crap off my hands, you'd be my best friend! ARRRRG!

 

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

I'm squeezing my oriental carts over the lawn. keeps the neighbour's cat away...

Now who's/what's going to show up?
