Newb here, but wanted to contribute because this forum has been amazing to me and my introduction to vaping.
Comprehensive vendor review will be forthcoming, but quickly: Ross over at VaporsEtc is awesome. Customer service, ease of communication, shipping times, & packing, all top notch.
Ordered a bunch of sampler sizes due to an overwhelming amount of positive remarks about his juice and still powering through them, but here are some reviews so far.
All juices were used on: standard 4081 cartos (green, also from Ross) + adapter, eGo-T Type A LR atty + tanks from Liberty-Flights, and LM 510 2.0ohm atomizer + cartridges also from LF. (straw/PTB-mod on those cartridges, that stock fill is nasty!) All 3 on a Riva 510 650mAh 3.7v. All juices are 18mg/ml except where noted.
Here goes nothing.
Menthol Full: My perception is probably skewed because my only other menthol vape were nJoy's Menthol 12mg & 18mg, but this juice is good! I was a half-PAD Marlboro Menthol Lights 20+ years smoker prior to vaping, and while I know there's probably no way a juice can simulate burning tobacco smoke, this juice satisfies my minty cravings. You definitely feel the throat hit with this, even at 18mg. It reminds me of after dinner mints a bit, which is a good thing. I prefer to hit this on the 4081 because for some reason, the 'harshness' (not condascending) of that cart adds to the cigarette-sub appeal. A good, sinus-clearing vape.
Vanilla Caramel: I'm a sucker for Vanilla. This juice is good, I get the vanilla especially if I "waterfall", but the caramel is a tad too subtle. It may be placebo, but I can "feel" the caramel in that this juice on exhale feels smooth and thick, but not so much the taste. This tastes terrible in a 4081 by the way, but very good on the eGo atty's.
Creamy Vanilla: Definitely the same base as the aforementioned Vanilla Caramel, and a purer Vanilla taste which is more pronounced. Same gear rules apply, this is a no-no on the 4081.
Strawberry: Great sweet strawberry finish! Not too sweet and I think that works in its favor. Good on all 3 setups. This was about to my hot weather "all-day" vape until I tried...
Za Bomb: Whoo doggie! This is wonderful. I received this as a freebie and almost didn't try it, but I was browsing Ross' site and noticed that he had an ice-cream-man rocket pop as the avatar for it. That is so spot on. I'm actually more a chocolate guy, but Za Bomb is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Something about the flavoring gives this juice an amazing start, inhale, and exhale. You get sweet Icee-like notes upon draw, and during inhalation, the taste lingers on your lips a bit, then you feel the sweetness intensify during exhale. I don't know if I described that in a manner that you can understand, but I really like this juice a lot. Tastes phenomenal in the tank, and works well on the 4081 & standard atty in a pinch. I ordered 30ml of this a few days ago because I miss it already.
Chocolate: Another freebie, this one is hard to figure out because it takes on such a different character depending on your setup, which is important if you want to sample it. It is, for lack of a better term, disgusting on the 4081 & standard atty, at least to me. I seriously thought it was a new beta flavor Ross was testing out, possibly code named: Bitter Coffee Shavings From a Dried Diner Decanter. I'm glad on a whim I decided to try it on the tank. It is heavenly on the tank! It feels very 'full' and gives a satisfying vape, with a nice, rich chocolate flavor. The disparity between taste on my different setups still confounds me (especially on the standard atty, as I've come to find that after the PTB mod, pretty much every juice tastes at least decent on it) but I will tell you that I vaped the entire remainder of that 3ml bottle all day at a wedding yesterday with some Laphraoig and it was divine.
Vanilla Tobacco: Did I mention I like Vanilla? This is top of the 3 vanillas I've tried from Ross. Same great vanilla base I believe, but with a nice background accent of tobacco. It's not anything like actual tobacco I've tried, but it's there and it really tastes pleasing. This flavor is to die for on both the 4081 & standard atty. It loses a lot of punch on the tank.
That's it for now. I have more to come if there's interest in it, but I just realized it's time to clock out of work. Hope this proves useful for a few people.
