+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!

Spring Vapor has a new one called Black Label 555 that is 100% VG. Anyone else have any experience with their juices?

I've heard BWB 555 Exotic mentioned here and there. Sounds interesting.

Icepoet, the Black Label 555 was the one I tried, but it was 50/50 pg/vg.

Hmm, I'm looking at their web site right now, and it's listed as 100% VG, no other options. :confused:

EDIT: Never mind, I was looking at their new products page. They have a version of their 555 that's all VG. Otherwise, the same stuff. :)

When i first started ordering from Nik I asked which ratio he mixed at in order to get the best experience with his liquids. His reply was that he writes his recipes at 70/30 but he could mix it at just about any ratio you want. He also told me he vapes heavy vg mixes so I'm guessing that's how the vg line was brought to life. As someone else already said, his 70/30 mix does throw down with some great vapor production

I use a CE3 (for the SV 555) which lends itself to more vapor production but I also have the Black Label B&M in a cartomizer that also has a great volume of vapor. Both at 70/30 mix. I don't know how he does it.

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.

I could put that in a near 555 category. I like it because it's somewhat similar, but now I love it and I use it more than my 555. Sad, huh?

The very first flavor I ever tried was Smokeless Image 555...It's a little sweet for my taste (but almost all juices are). My wife, however, uses SI 555 as her daily vape...to each his/her own. I'm planning on trying some others both for her and me. Anyone want to recommend one that's a little (or a lot) less sweet?

I have not had SI 555, but that TVR 555 is not very sweet IMO. Just nutty, and very mild tobacco-wise.

I got both my orders in the mail today.
Backwoods Brew 555 Exotic - Nice aroma and about the same color as nice lager.
Kick Bass Vapor 555 - Very clear, looks like water. Hardly any aroma at all.

I shook 'em up and popped off the tops and will let them sit like that overnight. Then at least a few days steep.
Looking forward to trying them and I'll let you know .
In the meantime I still have my Spring Vapor Black Label 555 and a couple RY4's to keep me sated.

I will put in another good word: Pink Spot's "Outlaw" 555. Great if you like rich and sweet 555s.

I also like AVE's 555 although it took me a while to appreciate it.

Honestly though? My fave 555 is good old DeKang concentrate. Either by itself, or doctored up with unmentionable things like rum and coffee:ohmy:

I got my BWB 555 Exotic in a couple of days ago. Pulled the drip top off and steeped it for two days while I was out of town. Got back today and put the drip top back on, screwed the lid on and shook it well. It smells great!! I can hardly wait another week or so to try it. I may have to drip at least a few drops this weekend.

I am really enjoying the BWB 555 Exotic right now. The flavor is not traditional but they have created a real nice mix. You can taste the nuttiness but there is something else that I can't put my finger on. Very pleasant indeed.

The KBV 555 is also very good. They claim to have found the lost original DK 555 flavor and it is very good. The juice is as clear as water so it's a real clean vape.

Of the 10+ 555's I have tried these two are both at the top of that list even though they are very different.
