Sorry to say this, but today I gave away every bottle of juice I ordered from them. To me, none of the flavors improved, or really tasted like what they were supposed to be from the description. The only bottles I kept were the Fruity Cereal and Strawpeary Dew (sp?) samplers because they actually tasted good to me. I think its something with the strawberry and custard they use not tasting like what I'm used to/expected.
It was worth a shot, and I will not speak, nor am I trying to speak ill of them, but rather categorize them in the ITC/VapeWild/MtBaker category as "you get what you pay for."

That's why I placed another order. Although they don't add artificial sweeteners to their liquids, their flavors taste exactly as they should without being overly sweet or cloying. And the coils/wick last much longer.
After this next batch of sampling, I'll be going for the 120ml bottles in the future.
Would you say it is better than ITC or worse? I like ITC better than Vapewild and Mt Baker.
I probably have asked you this question but can you recommend some good juice companies around the same price as ITC or a bit higher?
I think this vendor is a lot better than ITC, MBV, and Vape Wild. Not to say that I dislike those vendors but I find Diesel's flavors more to my liking personally. Taste is subjective so I say if you are interested in trying them, just try it and find out for yourself if they are for you. In my opinion, their custard does taste weird to me, not bad but not what I expect custard to taste like, but I have liked everything else I've sampled from them.
In all honesty, Mt Baker was horrible from the get go. Threw them away didn't even gift them. VapeWild was ok but way too sugary and coil gunky. I did like the VW custard, but I wouldn't order it again. ITC I let steep for months before trying to gift it, but the flavors were all really dry if that makes sense. Ended up tossing them. Diesel I tried over and over while steeping. The Big Ants Custard would have been great if there was an actual custard taste that I'm accustomed to. I gave them all to a friend in need and he says they're not horrible, but he's glad he got them for free.
All in all, like I've said many times over and agree every time someone posts it, taste is subjective.
As far as pricing, it's hard to get quality that I enjoy in that price range. There are only 2 companies I have been loyal to and reordered over and over. One is Dr Crimmy's. I've had some bad juice from them too though, but they have enough flavors that I keep buying. $25 for 60ml and $35 for 125ml is worth it to me. The other company is local to me in hampton roads called Vulgar Vapor. A local b&m stocks them and their prices are great for a full flavor max vg blend (even though I prefer 60vg/40 or 70vg/30).
So I also made a pretty varied order to try a bunch of their flavors. Here's my take:
1) Chris' Custard - Tastes a lot like Nicoticket's CLS. The custard is there, and I found it has a little bit stronger custard flavor than CLS. That being said, its a litte dry. The bottle has been relegated to steeping duty. We'll see in a month.
2) Ants Custard - Damned good. I don't get enough custard but the other flavor profiles are great. WIll probably buy again.
3) PB&J - I was really impressed with this one. It's on point. Might buy again.
4) Cake Batter - I honeslty don't think it tastes like cake batter. It does have cakeish notes though. That being said, the flavor is amazing. I will most def be buying this again.
5) On the Gram - Graham flavor is on point. Might buy again.
6) Banana Moon Pie - Tasty. Great flavor. Can't vape more than a tank before I get bored of it though, so not sure if I'll buy again.
7) Strawberry milk - This is the only flavor I didnt like. On the inhale its good. But the exhale is an acid, strong, and artificial strawberry that I didn't like at all. Relegated to steeping duty for a month as a minimum.
In all, for the price you can get some great ADV if you find a flavor or two you really enjoy. Seller was fast as hell!

2nd Order arrived within 2 days.
Fresh out of the mail, here are a few first impressions of 3 flavors. Each of my 3 RDAs are single coiled at around .6 ohms, wicked with some Japanese cotton pads (KGD). All of the liquids are 60VG/40PG, 12 mg nic.
Momma's Milk: a light, creamy flavor with with fruity notes. The description mentions cream and custard, but I taste more cheesecake, with very faint fruit notes. Ageing will help, but it is good on Day 1.
Snickerdoodle: this one does need some aging. The cinnamon is upfront and near all-consuming, the sugar cookie lies deep below but it is discernible. Aging should balance it out; most of the reviews say the cinnamon is light -- not on Day 1, but there is hope
Strawberry Spred Axle: description states strawberry and heavy cream; reviews say cream saver or wafer cookie. Day 1 reveals strawberry yogurt and cream. Rich and creamy and light on the strawberry. Very tasty (which is surprising for me, since I'm not a yogurt fan).
Overall, DAY 1 shows the promise of tomorrow and I look forward to trying these again in a few days to see how well they age. Four other flavors to try out once I change my wicks.

I seem to share your tastes. Try CaseyJones Mainline Reserve to see how good a premium juice at cheap price can be. I would suggest "Two Cans" or "Gold Rush" Their site is down till Monday
I actually had ordered some of his strawberry milk a while back. Wasnt bad. Better than the Diesel strawberry milk imo. I'll have to check it out again.
3 more flavors, three more early reviews. Mixed fresh and with only a few days age, so the flavors will change.
As always, taste is subjective. And so far, I have not had anything that isn't a decent offering from DieselbyCG.
Heaven's Kiss: cake batter with whipped cream and strawberries. The cake batter is up front, with the sweet whipped cream and light strawberry on the exhale. This one is going to be good.
Peach Cobbler: fresh peach, a little tart like the peach skin with a light crust. Was expecting a bit more buttery cobbler... eager to see how this one turns out.
Arches Apple Pie: like the Snickerdoodle, in the early days the cinnamon is potent/dominant, with a nice baked apple and flaky crust below. I am already enjoying this more than I have any other apple/cinnamon flavor I've tried before and imagine this will play well in an RTA.
I was expecting to like the Peach Cobbler more than the Apple Pie, but, at this early stage, I was surprised. A big thumbs up, considering I've never enjoyed an apple/cinnamon vape until now.
2 more liquids to sample (I know, I originally said 7, but it's 8). Both are strawberry: Blissful and Strawberry Custard.

Two Cans is spot on Fruit Loops and milk. Gold Rush is custard and caramel/butterscotch. What's I like, no chemical taste, strong flavors, (one of the reasons ITC didn't do it for me).
Gold Rush sounds like my go to. I've been doing a caramel butterscotch overdose from Crimmy's but the overdose is French vanilla custard so it's a little light and sweet.
Thanks for the heads up.
Since we're talking DieselbyCG here, below lies 2 more early reviews.
Just days old from the mailbox, these are just first impressions before some aging/steeping.
Blissful: light strawberry with a touch of green with a slight creamy note. Will have to wait for more of the white chocolate... and strawberry... to come through. Early on, it's just rather vague and muted.
Strawberry Custard: This one has a heavier custard base than the Blueberry Custard, more like Chris's Custard with a faint strawberry on the exhale. From my previous experience with the Blueberry Custard, I know a week will make a huge difference.
Heaven's Kiss has already started to blend into the whipped cream frosted cake it's described as after just days. It's like watching it bake
Website updates include optional Unicorn Bottles for $1 extra -- and Free Shipping with orders of $50 or more (previously $75).

Ordered 12 bottles from Diesel before the prices went up for labels (really ??). I could see to offset some of the shipping, but not sure I fully understand the label argument. Even though the 30ml (smallest size) only went up a dollar, the 120's went up a bit more.
Overall, I just found the flavor lacking and on the weak side. That said, the juice is light colored...nicotine is smooth...and they don't gunk up coils too fast. They are vapable for the most part, but just really weak even after extended steep. Wife likes them but she's into "softer" flavors...I like them stronger. Of all the flavors, 2 were way to strong; Mint Chocolate (to strong of a peppermint) and Gypsy Juice (very strong and tart blackberry). I will say the only one the wife and I both really liked was CTC (Cinn Toast Crunch). Might reorder that one and try a couple other cereals...still unsure.

I've let my Big Ants Custard and Blissful steep since 3/7 with regular shaking and some breathing. I love the smell of both these liquids but the flavor is very mild. Put the custard in my Nautilus Mini on a istick 20W @ 12watts last night and only got a hint of a creamy flavor. I tried both liquids a week ago with the same result but both had a bit of a peppery taste so I let them breath for a day with the tops off in a dark, cool place. There are smooth as can be but for me just not strong enough in the flavor category. It may be my own taste buds not allowing me the full effect but my bf reports the same mild flavor. Going to try to Blissful again once my new "bigger juice hole/OCC" coils come in to see if that'll make a difference. I don't have a dripper. Think it's my set-up causing the lack of flavor?
I find plenty of flavor in all of the liquids that I've tried from them, but I never have found a vendor with muted flavor. Even one with a "light profile" such as Momma's Milk, it's still a solid cream and fruit liquid.
Blissful has been... weird. It's suppose to be white chocolate covered strawberries but the flavors are muddled and there was a peppery-ness to it the first week. After 2 weeks, the white chocolate is just starting to come out and the flavor has smoothed a bit. Out of all of their strawberry liquids I've tried, I like it the least. Maybe at the 4 week mark it'll hit it's stride, but for now it's "meh."
Heaven's Kiss, on the other hand, is fantastic! The first week it was all cake batter, but by week 2, it's creamy bliss.

Tried Blissful over the weekend...way better than 2 weeks ago. It's been steeping since 3/7 now. Very bright, fresh strawberry flavor. There's a hint of cream, which is suppose to be white chocolate, but it may need more time to come through. If it was a tad stronger it would be perfect for me. I still have vapors fatigue issues and now allergies are kicking my ..... This will probably lead me to try another strawberry liquid of some sort in the future.

Tried Big Ants Custard again last night after over a month of steeping. It's gotten better, no more peppery taste but it is still mild for me. So smooth to vape though and that's what I really love about it. I've mixed it with another stronger custard I have and together quite tasty. My pallet does not detect lighter flavors as of yet; only been vaping for 3 months. Enjoying trying out new liquids and seeing what others have found.
