So I recently placed my first order with Gourmet Vapor, since they were having a sale and the Flavor Creator was fun. Here's my opinion on what I ordered.

Both the flavors were 36mg (not offered on the site...I emailed customer service to request this nic level) and 80% PG / 20% VG with triple flavor. Both were created by me (well, the second my dad came up with lol...he isn't a vaper but used to smoke, so every now and then he gets curious and takes a drag off my e-cig to try the flavors) using the Flavor Creator.

Monkey D. Luffy
(yes, I named that after the character from One Piece...it's inspired by what I think a Devil Fruit would taste like)

20% Blueberry, 50% Pineapple, 30% Pomegranate

This one actually tastes (and smells! my mailbox smelled like fruit when I opened it!) really good. It is exactly what I imagined it would taste like. Like an exotic fruit punch. Yum!
Vapor production is nice, decent throat hit. I'd order it again, for sure.
Some might be concerned over coloring in liquids, in which case I will tell you that it does have a light pinkish-red tint to the liquid.

Daddy Bic's Nawlins Coffee

30% Almond, 60% Coffee, 10% Maple Syrup

This one I'm not too sure about. It isn't that it's not a good flavor. It tastes good. However, the almond is very overpowering, I can't taste the maple syrup, and I can barely taste the coffee. I think I'd need to tweak this flavor a bit and change those percentages. If you like strong, somewhat bitter flavors and love almond, then I'd say you'll probably love this flavor.
Vapor production is alright. Throat hit is quite strong.
Two things that kind of worry me are:
1. The liquid is extremely dark brown, almost black.
2. There's something odd about the throat hit. It is very aggressive, but it has this odd numbing quality to it.
I'm still planning on using it, though.


Sorry this wasn't extremely detailed or in-depth. I've never reviewed a flavor before and wasn't really trying to write something amazing...just short and to-the-point, giving my basic opinion.

I would also like to say that Gourmet Vapor seems to have excellent customer service. They answered my email very quickly, and I was quite happy that they allowed me to order a higher nic level than what was offered on the site.

I think it is the almond that is so harsh...

How long did it take to receive the liquid after you ordered it?

Ordered it last Wednesday, and they shipped it out Thursday. It would've gotten here Monday, but it was delivered to the wrong house, so I got it Tuesday.

If you are looking for a good coffee flavor, try Gourmet Vapor's Seattle Blend. It's great.......

I had actually heard that that one was good. However, I took a look at it and it has tobacco flavors in it...I kind of stay away from those. I haven't really liked any that I've tried, and if I did find one that reminded me of analogs, I'm worried I might be too tempted to go back...in which case, well, I'd wind up without a tongue. (When I told one of my best friends that I had quit smoking for good this time, he didn't believe me, so I had to pinky promise him that if I ever smoked another analog I'd cut my tongue out in order to convince him of how serious I was. Pinky promises are the most sacred of vows between friends in my book...I'm such a little kid, I know.)

Update!

After letting the carto that I had filled with Daddy Bic's Nawlins Coffee sit for a few days, I tried it again. The almond is slightly more toned down and the coffee is more pronounced now. It's a nice bitter black coffee taste, so if you're looking for a stronger coffee flavor, mixing up a flavor with GV's coffee or trying this one might be a good thing for you. It still has a good strong throat hit, but doesn't have that weird numbing quality. Guess this is one of those liquids that needs to age a little.

Still loving Monkey D. Luffy. Yum! 'Nough said.
