I placed an order Monday. This is the FIRST time I didn't get a shipping notification within two days. I am assuming they are backed up due to the 20% off sale. My GR is running low!!!

My fear is they don't get like 5P and can't keep up with demand. *wakes up screaming, NOOOOO!!!*

Got my latest order today and noticed the change in packaging. Each bottle individually wrapped in bubble wrap and box voids filled with packing peanuts. No runs, no drips, no errors. The only new juice today was the SCDP and as others have already said I taste the same apple as Orchards Reserve with a very nice bourbon/brandy on the exhale, smooth.

IDK. I must be vaping GR too much because the coconut is feint in this batch too. I'll have to try it on another device next.

Tried Merlyns Bow. Was alright but the peanut is way less pronounced, at least at 20 watts. Seemed like a bunch of vanilla, cream, and a phantom taste of peanut butter.

SCDP is chill but it seems like it's missing something. I'll let it sit for a while and revisit it later

Give that peanut butter a few days to show up. I'm on my second bottle and both took a bit of time for the flavors to pop. :)

ETA: Mine is 6mg.

Order arrived last night. I meant to put in Merlyn's Bow but went with the SCDP (Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Pryce). Apple is the in the orchard reserve. Bourbon is pretty smooth even though I'm not a bourbon drinker, at all

I need to shoot them an email. My SCDP was under filled and my 6mg of GR from my last order has like no coconut in it. It's all vanilla and barrel notes. Not the same


I had the same bottle as Steam Co uses but is translucent. So for visual purposes I used a syringe and put 10ml of water in the bottle to show how full the bottle is. The red mark on the label shows where it falls on the Steam Co bottle. As you can tell this particular bottle easily holds upwards of 13+ml of juice.

So of course I got my order right before I have to leave for work. But I had to quickly drip a bit. Tardis blueberry is...wow...blueberry! Tastes like fresh sweet ripe blueberries. I'm in.

Edit: I don't really taste any cream though. Born on date 2/11

I think a lot of times when you have multiple flavors mixed, the juices are even more sensitive to atomizer type/air flow/coil/power than "single flavors", because (and I'm not a chemist, so this is speculation) the different flavoring compounds have different points where the flavors peak.
In the case of Tardis Blueberry, I find that the blueberry is there at pretty much all settings, the cream "finish" (which is really never really very strong), tends to come out more at warmer temperature settings. -to me the best mix of flavor is just barely below the point where a caramel/burnt taste starts to come in.

I have been using this a lot in my dripper, and am coming to the bottom of my second attempt to use in my genesis, and noticing this stuff REALLY gunks up wicks coils. Even more in a tank style setup vs a dripper (since juice cooks more, and you really never get a dry burn), so I don't see it being good for my "out and about all day, fill the tank" juice, as it requires maintenance....however whenever I am somewhere that I would normally use my dripper, it will be awesome

Really finally coming to terms with the fact that some juices are not going to be good for the "tank" type set ups, and should be used dripping only, and only use lower maintenance juices in tank type setups. Being ok with this, frees me up from the constant search for the perfect setup for a particular juice...or the constant alternative version of a certain flavor that doesn't gum up. Time to just enjoy what I like as what is.

Ok I love these three...
Gentlemen's reserve is good - great for when you are out and about, car vape, goes well with beer, wine etc. it's strong enough to not get overpowered by much.

Old orchard reserve , great balance, excellent flavors. I use this for a good pick me up mood enhancer. The apples, Carmel's and oak finish makes me smile.

Tardis Blueberry, not too sweet, rich smooth creamy.

All three juices offer complex nuance to the nose and palate while offering excellent flavors on the inhale and finish with rich exhale.

Can you tell I love these juices?

Seeing as there are no reviews on the website or talk here about Spice Channel I had to try it. I love pumkin spice. I hope it's a good one as Darkest Day Vapors Pumpkin Head was pretty awful. I'll let you know when I get it how it tastes.

Well I said I'd let y'all know how Spice Channel tastes, so here it is, it doesn't taste anything like pumpkin or spice. It has a fruit taste I cannot put my finger on as to what fruit or fruit combination it is. I hope that some steeping will fix it, but I really doubt out of the flavor I get now that any spice or pumpkin or pumkin spice could possibly develop. I wonder if there was a mix up and I got a totally different flavor altogether.

On a positive note, I love GR and OEOR. The OEOR must need a little steeping as I mainly get apple, booze and some barrel notes, but no toffee at all.

I'm going to try Sean Lepreconnery in a few days. It smells great though!

Just placed my order for 2 bottles of GR. Going to rebuild a KFL+ for it. Anyone able to recommend resistance for best flavor? I usually run silica wick in my KFL+'s.
I built my kayfun twice the past two days. The first build was a 2.1 ohm micro, with cotton. The flavor was terrible.

Second build was a 1.3 ohm micro, with 3 - 1 mm silica strands. It took a day, and finally im loving the flavor. I thought about going back to the hh357, I was so frustrated. But after using the kayfun and letting it sit over night, the thing is hitting like a champ.

I found that I LOVE the GR in my dripper. (2.5 ohm micro coil 30awg, 10 wrap). Tried it in my genesis style, same coil, same wick (organic cotton), and the rich, warm,taste was gone... In the dripper the taste reminds me of an Almond Joy (sorta), rich, nutty warm taste...in the genesis, it was more alcoholic, almost perfumey taste, with none of the richer, toasted flavors I get from the dripper. No worries though, I still love this juice in the dripper, and will always have some on hand
