Awesome I am glad to hear you're pleased with them! Don't be afraid to let them know how you heard about them and what you think. They also have a Facebook group you can join if you haven't already.

Yes, I'm already there. It was part of my research that I tend to do before buying from a vendor -- reading as many reviews as I can before investing in trying the liquids. I saw their postings there before any thread was started here, and they both coalesced into a unified whole :)

My birthday is upcoming, so I'm planning on a second order since I am really liking everything that I've sampled so far -- in fact, Chris's Custard, Strawberry Milk and Fruity Cereal are quite addicting :)

I'll probably try out a few of the strawberry desserts... Has anyone tried any of their caramel flavors? I haven't had much luck with those from other vendors.

Made an order finally on Friday (2/27). Shipping shows it's been delivered to my house already today. I got 30ml of Big Ant’s Custard, Momma B’s Cheesecake, Momma’s Milk, Rainbow Sherbet, Strawberry Custard, Strawberry Milk. Sampler of Fruity Cereal and Strawpeary Doo. Hopefully they are all good FOOB so I can do a review soon. Otherwise, to the steep box they go.

From my first order, most were ready/good FOOB with only 2 that might need a bit more time. Most folk on their FB page dive right in. Let us know what you think.

We found Diesel from multiple FB posts.....made a small sample order, 6-30ml bottles. At $8 per bottle...this is standard sample (10-15ml) price for other companies. Just rec'd them yesterday (Monday, 2-Mar) and had to give two a try. My wife tried the Crystal's Custard (snicker doodle custard) and I had the Plenty Good (black licorice). The custard was weak on flavor...maybe some steep time is req'd. The Plenty Good had really good flavor up front. Funny thing - both had an off-putting after taste, almost chemical. Wondering if it's their nic or just needs steep time for everything to meld. Last time we tried something with similar aftertaste...even after weeks it didn't improve. Suspect it was something in flavoring or Nicotine.


Anyone else notice this?

Full disclosure; Wife and I are using MVP2's with hand made coils (~1.8 ohm) and cotton wicks. All coils were freshly cleaned/dry-burned. All our normal juices taste perfect so it's not the setup.

I would definitely give them some steep time and see if that helps.

Someone else mentioned that they had an aftertaste. But I haven't noticed anything off-putting aftertaste wise. Perhaps because their baseline is higher VG than you're used to. Many opt for at least a 50/50 or higher P blend, and these start with 60/40. I once tried out a high VG from one of my favorite vendors, and the liquid tasted vastly different than the 50/50 blend I normally got and didn't work for me.

Both of the custards that I've tried from DieselbyCG have been strong in flavor compared to other vendors similar liquids that I've had. As I've stated, only 2 liquids came off a little harsh, but both improved just after a few days and smoothed out. Try breathing the bottles and a few days steep and they should, hopefully, turn around for you.

Yup..........all 6 bottles are breathing now and will for 2-3 days. Will try again this wkend. As for the VG level, not sure that is it. Most of ours are 50/50 or 60pg/40vg. That said...we've also got bottles that are much higher VG (example Suicide Bunny which I like very much and get a bottle occasionally). None of these have an aftertaste. So...it's either the flavoring or nicotine used. Hoping whatever it is burns off and that these turn out to be good - really hard to pass up the price.

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.

Great review, Kyi.

I purposely stayed away from the strawberry flavors on my first order, since I have quite a few from my current go-to vendor, ITCvapes, and looked at DieselbyCG for alternative flavors, since I had a craving for peach and wanted to try some of the cereal flavors as well. On my follow-up order, however, I plan on trying some of their strawberry liquids.
