After I don't even wanna think about how much money spent looking for a juice that tastes remotely like an analog I think I've found the closest thing. I have researched this forum and read countless reviews with people claming analog flavor. I bought a LOT of recommendations. Frankly, I think some of you forgot what an analog tastes like. Which is not necessarily a bad thing... For you. I don't know what you were smoking that tastes like torqe 56... Though not a bad juice.... Not "straight up unfiltered tobacco" in this universe though.

So, I was very reluctant to spend that $8 to try tampa,lol... I researched it like I was spending $500 or more.... VERY glad I did!!

I got it today in 16 mg. Throat hit is great!! It doesn't feel peppery or agitate my throat. It actually feels like smoke. I feel it in my lungs like smoke. Stronger than the pall mall reds I smoke!! Unlike any liquid I've tried yet. It is the most unique th I've come across and believe me I've got 36 bottles of stuff I'll probably never vape. So, I pretty well know what's out there.

Vapor isn't just phenominal. It's pretty good. About equivelant to an analog. I've got stuff that clouds the room but that's really not my thing. The juice seems thin so I figure it's probably pg primarily. If u wanted more vapor you could just add vg. I don't think it's lacking at all just some people seem to want to become a fog machine.


Finally taste... I taste cigarette smoke in there, lol. The taste is there! Not strong but it's in there somewhere. Also a nutty taste. Not sure what nut as it's not real strong. Also maybe liquorice? Or maybe that's cocoa? I'm not sure. The taste is really hard to pinpoint for me. I could see an analog having this flavor though and being a very expensive pack of smokes. If anyone wants to chime in and help me with the flavor description please do! It really is like a premium top notch analog. Not cigar or pipe tobacco flavored.

Philip Morris wish they could make a cigarette taste this good!!!

From what I understanc Tennessee is like Tampa just sweeter? Is that a fair description? I don't care so much for sweet as I am still trying to replace analogues. Frisco is his 555 variation, right? That one I may try soon as that was the first flavor I actually liked.

I also got a bottle of ry4 from him that I kinda rushes through sampling. It tasted kinda like cotton candy to me. Any opinions on his ry4? All I really have to compare that to is some I got fromBwB which is great, btw..

I think Tennessee is less sweet than Tampa and more like a true analogue, (but I DO love Tampa). Tampa reminds me of a "light" Frisco and I vape Tennessee when I want a break from the "nutty" flavors. I have a lot of friends who tried vaping and hated it until I gave them some Tennessee :)

Yes, I think Frisco is Eric's answer to 555 but a thousand times better. Frisco is amazing with a huge nutty overtone and VS's great tobacco base. I haven't found a 555 that comes close <---BTW...if you can't tell I am a VS fanatic! :laugh:

I am not a fan of RY4, (I don't like caramel\sugary flavors), but I have tried both RY4 and VS4. VS4 is the way to go in my opinion....good stuff just not my thing.

I think I associate the word Tennessee with JC tennessee cured and stear far clear, lol. I probably didn't even read the description. I think the underlying flavor I like may be the frisco, 555 flavor. So, I think that will be next on my to try list.

I have noticed if I leave this juice sitting in my atty for more than 10-15 minutes that it loses it's flavor. Kinds gets a funky taste. Like if you leave other juice in there all night. Maybe it's just me adjusting. Curious if anyone else has noticed that.

I received both Tampa and Frisco last week. I've spent 3 days vaping each. It seems that Vaper Station liquids do taste just like they are described. There are no chemical, funky back grounds tastes. I really like the Frisco. It is a rather sweet vape. The Hazzlenut flavor is amazing! Tampa's throat hit is great but Frico is just a bit stronger. I'm putting in another order in a few days for bigger bottles and will order 15 ml bottles of Texas and Tenn to try them. The bottles they come in are dark brown glass and I think this keeps that nasty chemical/ plastic taste that many juices have. No steeping here. Glad you like Tampa. Nice review!

Oh, and I think that "nasty" taste is tobacco absolut.. Maybe the flavor evaporates fast from this juice? The reason I say that is the only other juice I have that gets that taste also has absolutes in it.

I think his meaning was that VS juice did NOT have a nasty taste. I'll give you that VS juice has zero ash tray component, which juices using absolute usually have to some extent.

Sorry,
I did mean that the glass keeps the nasty chemical/ plastic taste( OUT) . I'm bad! Absolute or not this is one of the best tasting juices out there. I have had other sbsolute based juices that were very good. The blender really needs to know how to use it just right. I usually write posts during the day in between customers. My grammar, punctuation often suffers as I'm interupted. Happened again, just edited twice!

I'm a big time VS fan. I regularly get the Frisco and Tampa for my regulars. Tennessee is lighter flavor and pleasant mild tobacco flavor. I recently tried the Phoenix and love it also. The Phoenix is the one that is a lighter version of Frisco. I also usually get 15 ml bottles of the RY4 and VS4 and mix them into a 30 ml bottle. They're both great individually...RY4 being one of the best ones out there and the VS4 is RY done with a toffee flavor. I've even mixed together the RY4 with equal amounts of the Frisco and that is a wonderful mix as well. Overall, Tampa is my tobacco fix and VS does it very well all around with all the above offerings.

Thanks, folks! I've been hemming and hawing about trying VS juices for some time. [I was mad at them for awhile when they stopped carrying Joye 302 atomizers ... but I've gotten over it.]

And I'm going for the sampler pack: I've got to try all of those cities and states (except non-tobacco New York). [Uh ... no one mentioned Phoenix. Or Seattle, but I assume that is like a menthol Texas.]

I got Phoenix and Cherrywood on Friday and am loving both! Phoenix is a very solid vape with massive throat hit. It has a hardwood/cedar kind of undertone...it tastes like a walk in humidor smells if that makes sense? The Cherrywood is also excellent...it has a nice cherry\smokey taste with Eric's great tobacco base.

Thanks, Ed! And thanks for mentioning Cherrywood: It's not one of the icon-represented flavors shown on this page of full-bottle selections, although I do see it in the pull-down menu for the sampler pack.:confused:

And neither are a few others, such as VS Arizona. Anyone know anything about that flavor?

Phoenix is almost like a very, very light cigar, with a wisp of the Frisco nuttiness. I like it. I definitely like their juice better @24mg than I do at 16mg.
