St. Louis Gooey Buttercake
This one is just not for me. Though the vapor production was more than good and the flavor was rich and full bodied, all I tasted was butter. LOTS of butter. I had hoped that there would be nuances of flavors in this juice - and maybe there are, but I, unfortunately, could not taste them. It was all butter to me. *shudder* I LOVE cooking and seasoning with butter, but vaping it? Nooooo.... I gave the rest of the sample to my little sister. SHE likes it. Immensely. I would not order this one again, unless it was a gift for little sister.
Goldengate Punch
Very, very nice juice. Plenty of vapor production and a decent TR. This juice is extremely flavorful. It is almost too flavorful, to be honest. This is NOT a timid juice. This one screams "Look at me!!" This is a very full bodied fruit punch. Some reviewers say it tastes somewhat like Hi-C. Me? Well, I do not get Hi-C punch out of it, but it is very fruity and refreshing. This would not suit me as an ADV because it is just too much there, but dang! I think this would be a WONDERFUL juice for a new vaper whose taste buds still have not yet healed and also for someone suffering with vaper's tongue. It is THAT flavorful. I LIKE this one. I will likely order this again.
Peach Tea Bellini
I like this one, quite a bit. Lots of vapor, nice throat hit, rich and flavorful vape. PTB has, to me, a perfect flavor strength and it is not at all cloying. On ths inhale, I get a nice peachy note, and on the exhale, the black tea note is present. I really do not get any wine/champagne notes and a bellini has champagne in it.. soooo. My 3ml sample was gone very quickly, (in 1 day), and I will definitely order this one again in a much larger bottle. I heartily recommend this to those who like peach tea blends.
Strawberry Lemalaid
First, let me say that I LOVE lemonade. All types of lemonade - raspberry, strawberry, pink lemonade... I just adore lemonade. This Strawberry Lemalaid e-juice? eh, not so much. It is not that this juice tastes bad - because it doesn't, but it does not WOW me, either. I wanted to love this juice.Sadly, I do NOT taste any lemonade flavor at all in this juice. Strawberry? *Maybe* a wee bit of that. I can definitely taste the base in this one and this particular juice is very much like the Peach Bellini Tea I tried in the previous sample. They are very similar in taste, to me - and that should not be. Unlikely to order this one again.
Ag's Dream
Okay, so this one is supposed to be a cream covered Raspberry Shortcake juice. However, mostly what I taste is a buttery cake flavor. I would have to say this one, obviously, shares deep roots with St. Louis Gooey Buttercake. I wanted, very much, to really like this one, but I don't. Vapor production is wonderful - as a 50/50 blend should be, but I just cannot seem to get beyond the buttery cake taste. The raspberry flavor is very subtle in this, to me. Too subtle for my taste. Unlikely to order this one again.
Pear-Berry Compote
Very bright berry flavor with a very subtle brush of pear flavor on the exhale. I cannot really discern exactly the type of berries in this.... it is a definite blend of at least two. Most likely raspberry and strawberry. While the berry flavor does not completely overpower the pear flavor totally, it is much brighter than the pear. I think just a touch more pear flavor would be a positive addition to this juice. I like the juice okay, but I am not in love with it. I might, some day, order this one again. Especially if a wee bit more pear flavoring were added
