I was just curious if anyone has tasted this newest addition to The Standard line called F.U.E.S.? I like a couple of their juices, so I'm wondering what the flavor profile for this one is.

so far everywhere I've seen this for sales just states it as a dessert under description. :vapor:

I like the standard juice but im getting sick of their vague and stupid descriptions of their juice that they release to everbody to put on their website. The last time they did this it was with the Tater flavor, which i also couldnt find any information on until i vaped it only to find out that it was a neopolitan ice cream flavor, which i hate.

i have 7 of their flavors now including Tater but don`t have the new one. the names and pictures on the labels are in no way descriptive of whats in the bottle. why would they name Neapolitan ice cream "Tater"? some of them are very good. i still have one i have not tried yet...Curious Jorge.

curious jorge is in fact true to the name

monkeys like bananas ;)

I'm a big fan of CB4. Frankenvape is the only other one I've tried and I hated it (I'm aware I am in the minority here). Given a 50/50 track record, I'm not spending money on something with no description. This is a pet peeve I have with vendors. I know of no other industry where "mystery flavor" is a good business model for a product costing more than $.025.

Most people have things they like and things they dislike. I'm pretty adamant about my dislikes. Maybe I'm in the minority there as well.

I don't mind them using pop art and cutsie names to brand with and create an image, but I at least want a description of what the flavor profile is before I drop $22 bucks a bottle. I know what flavors I like and which I do not.

Exactly. I am less likely to buy something with a plain name and boring label.

it's like going to a restaurant and ordering the mystery dinner, accept no restaurant does that for obvious reasons.

I just think it's insulting to the consumer, like saying, "look we have this cool packaging and it's expensive so it must be good, you will buy it for no good reason, because you're a dumb ......."

By the way, I bought a bottle and it arrived last night. I can see why they didn't want to describe it.... Because it's nothing special.

First off its a super high VG, maybe 100%! In the time it took me to fill my syringe to load up my Kayfun I could have ate dinner.

It reminds me a lot of Witchers Brew, but way less complex. Basically yet another creme brûlée / custard type flavor. I get primarily vanilla and butterscotch. There might be something else there but the high VG mutes the undertone flavors from standing out on their own, which are already very mild to start with.

It's an easy miss.

I think Thumper is delicious. It's a very good blueberry flavor but has a bunny rabbit with carrots on the label.

I agree about Frankenvape. Yuck. I have a whole bottle with only about 1 ml gone. I think it tastes and smells like after shave. Cell Block 4 is ok but not worth the price. Tater is good. To me, Thumper is the best. I still wonder what's in the new one. I'm afraid to buy it because I don't need another bottle I won't use.

Not really, Curious George would indicate a monkey. and monkeys love bananas. Curious Jorge would be a curious Mexican, whether or not a curious Mexican likes bananas is indeterminate.

I hate to be picky but Jorge is George in Spanish. Doesn't necessarily make it a curious Mexican. Could be a curious Spaniard, Argentinian, Bolivian, Costa Rican, and so on. Sorry if I sound preachy but I am latina, and it hits a sore spot when one equates Spanish with Mexico. News flash, Mexico isn't the only country where they speak Spanish, after all, Spanish comes from Spain.
