Three numbers: 555

[icepoet]

Ok, I know this may be the start of a quick-dying, boring thread, but WTF, here goes.

I'm a fairly new vaper, a little over a month at it. To cut to the chase, early on I came across a special at The Vapor Room for their 555 for 10 bucks/ 30ml bottle. They have these weekly specials, as I'm sure y'all know. So I bit. I had been doing some Halo tobacco stuff, and some Dekang RY4, etc., when I got this. Instant AHH, this is nice. Not too strong, tasty nutty flavor. My GF and I vaped through that pretty quick.

So, in addition to a couple of flavors like HHV's Gandalf and AVE's flagship juice Bobas, I got 60mls of this stuff. These juices are terrific, really, but they are very distinctive and strong in their own respective ways. There are several other juices from other vendors (such as Halo) that I like too, but again, they are very distinctive and strong in character. Not a bad thing, but I can't handle any of them for too long. For instance, I liken Bobas Bounty to eating oatmeal raisin cookies all day. I love em, but I can't eat em all day. Those other juices all have a character that is very appealing, great vapes all at one time or another, but I can't do em for any extended period of time.

That said, I can fill a tnk of TVR 555 and happily vape it without getting burnt out on it for hours on end. Don't get me wrong, even this one has to get set aside for something else now and then (I even like a melon vape sometimes for a change). So I guess I'm saying that no flavor is that elusive "all day vape," and I doubt if anything will be in the future, BUT...

This TVR 555 comes close. Mild enough to not become cloying and intrusive, as even the best juice can do after intensive vaping. Tasty enough to enjoy for an extended period. I'm enjoying it at 18mg 50/50 on an ego 1000 mah with a Vivi Nova Mini 1.8 ohm, clouds of vapor, great flavor, a very easy pleasant vape.

My question is, does anyone else see the merits in this juice, or are there any other 555s out there that could be worthwhile to try? I'm obviously a 555 fan, which puts me in a minority possibly. Any others in this minority?

Thanks for costing me some more money. I tried some 555 from SpringVapor.com and loved it. I never thought I would like a nutty tobacco vape, but I really did. Now I've got to try TVR's 555. Sounds delish.

It is. Their TVR RY4 is also a pleasant vape, not too strong/sweet/cloying like some other vendors who think they need to clobber you with obnoxious vanilla. I have a big bottle of that too.

 

[Pappy]

Oh, and I have a small bottle of BWB's 555 Exotic on the way. I'll report back here after I try it, but it will have to steep for a week or more once I get it.

I've been looking at that one too. Let me know what you think.

I just noticed that you are in Houston. SpringVapor is in Spring (in the Rayford/Sawdust area near I-45). He doesn't have a storefront, but you can go to his house to pick up your order if you call him. His 555 was really good.

I am currently waiting on a bottle of that as well !

Really? I'll check them out, thank you.

I started a very similar thread a couple months ago. TVR 555 was my first all day vape and I loved it - still do, but never heard much about it. I find it to be just sweet and nutty enough and it always satisfies. After reading a lot of threads about 555's it seems that the flavor can be all over the place. I'm a big fan of AVE 555, but don't find it to have any of the typical 555 characteristics - sweeter and kind of spicy and floral. Lately I have been mixing my TVR with others - it mixes well, and today I have 75%/25% mix of 555/Vermillion River Kentucky Premium in a Vivi Nova. There is a good 555 thread out there somewhere. I've heard great things about Vapor Station Frisco.

I love 555 but it's been so long that I had a good one. Thanks for the heads up!

Panic, I remember that thread. I was hoping we could keep that one going but it fizzled after a while. Maybe this one will have some legs.

Hey, I'm not a heavily experienced 555 vaper, but this stuff is lovely; lots of vapor at 50/50, and the flavor is like cashews, close as I can tell. Really good, and I just lucked into it because of their special a month ago

 

[Got-Ta-Go]

I really like Frisco, but I would not put it in the 555 category. To me, it has a very definite toasted (almost charred) flavor with a slightly sweet edge.

But to repeat, I really like Frisco.

If anyone wants to find Icepoet for the next month, you know where to find him.

 

[CayCay]

I have not tried any 555 blends yet but I see AVE has a bunch of good reviews on their 555.

 

[AndyInOC]

+1 on spring vapor 555. Nik sent it to me as a sample with my 1st order and it quickly became a favorite of mine. So good that it was the first 555 I ever had, it blew my mind & I feel no urge to find another one. Now I need to go screw on my vivi full of it and enjoy it with my evening drink. Thanks fellas!

I have been on the hunt for the best 555 as well.

I REALLY like Spring Vapor 555 it has a fluffiness to it I just can't explain and tons of vapor for a 70/30 pg/vg. The flavor is like no other in the 555. Very pleasant...like a vacation for my mouth. Smooth and slightly sweeter than others.

My others:
Smokeless Image Liquid Volt 555 (China based)- I have to always keep a cart for my work pv. It was my first and really like it. Very nutty.

Dekang 555 - (China based, obviously) - I like it ok. I have it and DK Tab and DK RY4. They all seem to have real angular flavor....sort of sharp edges.

Elixir Liquid 555 - (China based) - Also ok. Sort of in between SI and Dekang

MOV Smoky Mountain 555 - a very different juice but I like it as well. Like all Mountain Oak the more you vape it the more you will understand the flavor. A complicated acquired taste involved.

Mister E Liquid 616 - Tastes too strange for my palate. I may try again at a later time.

AVE 555 - Meh..I just don't get the big deal. This and Boba's...whatever, not for me.

I also have BWB 555 Exotic and Kick Bass Vapor 555 on their way.
Now I guess I need to order TVR's 555 next.

Let's keep this thread alive. There are lots of us 555 lovers out here.

 

[kabonk]

I think Chinese 3&5 is my favorite 555 and health cabin sells the flavoring so I can DIY it
and I like backwards brew 555 it totally different I think it's base is TPA DK Tobacco Base Flavor I haven't quite got it right in DIY but it has potential

 

[Startle]

I have been on the hunt for the best 555 as well.

You should try V4L Wow 555. Not a huge fan of any of their other offerings really but having tried just about all 555s that one is the best IMO.

Vape On!

I love 555. Would not have tasted it had I not one a Smokeless Image contest and got Liquid Volt 555 as part of the voucher I had one. It hooked me. Sine then I've been mixing my own with Inawera's 3 5's concentrate. I vape 555 on its on and mixed with practically any other flavor. It's a keeper.
