I was thinking of taking advantage of the sale today. So you wouldn't give me the green light on the House Blend and Smooth Criminal?

BTW, did you get any Candied Cavendish from the Plume Room?

Candied Cavendish is already going out to you. House Blend and Smooth Criminal is a yellow light, but Vecchio is green.

Okay Voltron, I am sampling Smooth Criminal again to see if the light has changed...after a 3 day cap-off steep...

p.s. Aside from the steeping protocol, the only reason I am giving these particular suggestions is because I know Voltron's tastes pretty well. These suggestions are not necessarily for anyone else to take to heart one way or another.

Which one is sweeter between the Smooth Criminal and House Blend?

SC is sweeter. It is still yellow, but I think it may turn green. If you do get Smooth Criminal, let it rest with the top off for a few days, but don't vape it for about a week.

Oh yeah, in my pm I said go with the stronger tobacco in Vecchio, but (specifically) you may want to go with mild. Vecchio and SC should go through the same steeping process.

To me, Smooth Criminal has a more honey-like undertone with a greater cinnamon hint. House Blend is more of a slight caramel-like undertone with less cinnamon. Both have an extra ingredient which basically sits along the sidelines until the first few vapes have been completed. I'm still at a loss for what it is.

Mr.Mann?

I haven't delved in with my thinking cap on, but I know for certain there is no cinnamon. Whatever it is you are tasting may just trigger cinnamon like messages to the brain, but it is not being signaled by cinnamon itself.

Possibly. It sure is cinnamon to me though. Interesting. Could very well be my damaged taste buds still trying to recover.

Fom you descripions, the House Blend seems like the better choice for me. I prefer caramel over honey.

Having read a number of glowing reviews for Prime Vaping eliquids, with their 30% off sale (currently in effect), I thought now was as good a time as any to place my first order. E-Cigarettes,E-Liquids,Atomizers,Drip Tips,Electronic Cigarettes| Woodstock, GA

There was a minor glitch on their web site, that I brought to the attention of Jon, the company proprietor.
You can imagine my surprise when (on Labor Day, and with their sale in full swing) the vendor replied immediately and jumped through hoops to rectify the matter to my complete satisfaction. Now THAT''S what I regard as exemplary cuslomer service - especially on behalf of someone who didn't even place their first order.

No doubt that I'll enjoy most (if not all) of the nine bottles that I purchased - but that isn't what matters to me most. It was Jon's eagerness to asisist and satisfy a customer, that has earned Prime Vaping my regard for them as a new favorite vendor.

Btw: in addition to 30% off on all eliquids, they're offering 10% off on everything else. The sale is in effect from now until September 7th.

1. Hot Vapes . . . I urge everybody here to try their Hazelnut Praline from their Shisha line, hands down one of the best juices I have EVER tried. . . . I suggest any 555, nutty liking tobacco lovers to try this stuff! The hazelnut flavor is strong but my favorite juice ever to date. . . .

Well, dang it. There's one more to add to my list to try. I never thought I would like a nutty tobacco flavor, but then I tried Spring Vapor's 555 and LOVED it.

The HV Hazelnut Praline sounds like it might be right down my alley. How sweet is it? The longer I vape, the more I move away from sweet juices.

I admit I'm a Highbrow fanboy, what do you mean by 'dry'?

I am really suprised there is only one mention of Copper Creek. Maybe because she's not the cheapest.
I only have 2 vendors
Copper Creek
Virgin Vapor

I have tried Highbrow and it was extremly dyr to me. I ordered 80/20 and then ordered 50/50 and it was just too dry. I love their flavors. Does ordering more like 30/70 or 100% vg make the dryness go away?

I have never tried LJS smokes juices but I go there to pick up cartos and such. Really nice folks there.

Well I have to be honest as I am some what new to vaping. I have only tried Freedomsmokeusa once and wasn't fond of the juice. The second, Virgin Vapor. They have good stuff and I have continued to purchase from them only. I am really liking the sweet styles of liquid however I am still searching for that one i can vape all day. I am currently still smoking (Marb Reds) and really want to quit entirely. Any advice on some juice shoot me a PM. I am also gonna try Ahlusion, although there site must be having problems as I can not create a account.

1. HHV
2. AVE
3. Pink Spot

Those are the ones that have multiple flavors I like. There are a few others that might have one juice I liked, although I wouldn't list any of those juices as "favorites", so I can't call them "top 5" based on that. There were some I couldn't find even one I liked. So I only have a top 3.

That said, there's still a bunch of highly hyped suppliers out there I haven't gotten around to sampling, so it's possible I'll revise this eventually. I want to try NLV very badly, but it takes an act of congress to get hold of their juice apparently.
