After tasting and reviewing some of the other samples I ordered from Diesel, I have to say they are quickly becoming my go to vendor.. at least for now. I tend to buy from different vendors fairly often but I see some re-ordering from here. Well, I did actually order a big bottle of Heaven's Kiss and Momma's Milk but really wanted to try more flavors before ordering additional bigger bottles. There haven't been any samples that I've tried where I just thought "Yuck! ... is this?" Although there are only a few I'd consider re-ordering or getting large bottles of, I find that all of their flavors for the most part are really solid.
Oddly enough, the only one that I thought was somewhat 'gross' was the Lemon Cheesecake. It's odd because for a while back then, I was on a lemon dessert/bakery kick and tried every lemon bakery flavor I could get my hands on. I didn't order this sample until my second order and it was the only one I didn't like. Maybe it needs a nice long steep... I'll give it another try once I run out of my other samples. It just had kind of a pungent funky taste.. I did not like.
I find that the cake batter flavors, for me personally, need a bit of a steep. Bubba's berry cake batter kinda taste like berry yogurt to me right now and not so much cake batter but I think it will change with time. The milk as well. The Strawberry Milk was my least favorite strawberry + cream flavor because the milk in it tasted kinda weird and funky but now that it's had some time to steep, it's a lot better. I still have to try strawberry spread axel and then I think I would have tried all of their strawberry flavors. All of their "custards" have a similar base... kinda hard to describe, but I guess it's kind of like this thick vanilla base, but it's not just vanilla... it kinda has this flavor to it that I can't quite put my finger on, but I'd describe it has a slight dark chocolate smell to it? I know that sounds weird but I don't know how else to describe it. I kind of wish it didn't have this 'note' in it but maybe it will mellow out with a steep.
I've tried all the cereal flavors now (I know I said this in my last post) and I think I like the Crunch Berries and Happy Jacks the most. The CTC (cinnamon toast crunch) isn't cinnamony enough and mostly just taste like the cereal base. The cinnamon is slightly more prominent in Happy Jacks but the apple flavor added to it makes it nice. Of course, these are still fairly fresh so they could all taste different with a longer steep.
Creme Brulee is okay... not too big of a fan of the banana flavor in it. It's not bad at all and I don't dislike it but not quite what I'm looking for in a creme brulee. The Red velvet cake is weird too... not bad weird but I couldn't vape on it all day. It's a good flavor but just not something I see myself craving. The cream cheese frosting flavor is pretty strong, almost has a slight tangyness or tart note, but mixed with the flavor of the cake, it's just sorta weird for me.
But out of everything I've tried, you guys do yourself a favor and get a sample of Lot Lizard in your next order. That one was a surprise for me. I brought one of the sample bottles out with me the other night and thought I brought Lucifer's Fall but got Lot Lizard instead. I was telling my friend it was suppose to be blackberry brandy but it didn't really taste anything like that... until I realized it wasn't that flavor. Lot Lizard is suppose to be cinnamon danish, rice krispy treats and tobacco I think... maybe their version of a RY4? I don't really vape tobacco often but this was delicious! The tobacco is very mild and just gives it this nice warm, earthy and herby flavor and it mixes very well with the cream and butteryness in the rest of the vape... and its sweet. Reminds me of butter and caramel mixed with dates and tobacco. So good. I will retry the stuff that was 'weird' again after a steep to see if it changes, but so far my favorites and like to be re-orders are:
Momma's Milk, Heaven's Kiss, Lot Lizard, Crunch Berries, Happy Jacks, Blueberry Lychee Cream, Momma B Cheesecake, Gypsy Juice, and Nektar.
