Do you get any cherry with the Cherrywood? I get a fruity sweetness, but it's not really defined.

The applewood, on the other hand, is an in your face woodsy tart green apple that I LOVE! The nutty sweetness of the Premium adds another layer that isn't found in my BWB Applewood, which is just as good, but a totally different animal.

funny you should ask, I am getting absolutely nothing to do with Cherry on the cherrywood but the flavor is amazing so that's the selling point lol the Applewood is extremely subtle but enough to be called 'Apple'wood.

And also worth noting that the throat hit on a 10mg Kentucky Applewood is shameful, and lacking in flavor for some reason.
25 mg is full of flavor but I steer clear of the 20+ zone so what I have done (because Liberty flights UK is out of stock on 30 mil bottles)
I get 3x5 mil 10 mg and 3x5 mil 25 mg of Apple/Cherrywood, I shake them up and transfer them to a 30 mil bottle so I'm left with something along the lines of 18 or so mg ....

does that even make sense ? ok well that's the plan anyway :)

Dang it. Between this and several other Vermillion River reviews I've read, it looks like I'm going to have to whip out the CC yet again to try yet another vendor! :laugh:

I have (too many) juices already that I love, and many are very similar (ask me if I care -- hmmph :closedeyes:), but I just can't seem to resist trying new tobaccos! (Even though I have to let everything steep for 3-4 weeks before I dare sample it! :()

Poor me! :D:vapor: Poor CC! :D:vapor::vapor:

Most of the Kentucky Premium blends are ready to vape the day you get them, EleanorR.

Oh, how I wish I could believe this! But you haven't met my taste buds . . .

Unless of course the KP blends are made in large batches in advance, then I can just ask them for the earliest "born on" bottles they have! :) :banana:

I think I remember reading something about their juices being pre-steeped, but I could be wrong...

The Kentucky Juices are pre-made, therefore pre-steeped - sometimes for longer than other times. So it wouldn't hurt to give it some extra time, but you def can vape it right away if you want

@ Wigglr: I agree, as amazing as these are there is sometimes a lack of consistency in which sometimes the liquids come darker and other times lighter.

@EleanorR: if you haven't tried them I would suggest starting with Applewood or Cherrywood, the premium blend is nice but you won't appreciate it anymore after you tried the Apple/Cherrywood.

Tip, (and mark my words) buy a 30 mil bottle or you will seriously regret it when you run out. don't get the 10 mg or the 25 mg, get as close as you can to 15 and you will be fine.
And just to note, this WILL become your all day vape.

Since juices take years to expire, I certainly don't see the harm in letting them sit for a couple of weeks.

It's strange that VR offers nic levels in increments of 5 instead of the standard 6. Oh well, whatever works for their recipes, I guess.

I agree. I got in the habit of doing since so many vendors' juices need the steeping!

My personal VR favorite is the Kentucky Vanilla Blend!

The only tobacco from VR I haven't tried. :glare: I can imagine how the sweet nutty KY Premium base would marry well with a vanilla, but I have tried the VR vanilla by itself, and wasn't head over heels about it. Hmmm. It might be time for one last sampler pack, along with a big bottle of #7. :D

Kentucky Blend No. 7 sounds really good.

My personal solution to the various permutations of Vermillion River's tobacco flavors is to keep on hand a good stock of Kentucky Premium (30-60mls), plus small sample bottles of the other flavors (so I know what the "real thing" from VR tastes like). Then I add diy flavorings to make my own blends. Now, whenever I want more Kentucky Vanilla, I simply add one of the many vanilla flavoring concentrates I have to some Kentucky Premium. Same with apple flavorings for Kentucky Applewood and maple/maple syrup flavorings for Kentucky Maplewood. I haven't tried peach or cherry simply because those are not flavors I love.

I make only small batches of the flavored varieties (5-6ml), which allows me to experiment over time with different flavoring concentrates and their effects. Doesn't save me much money in the long run, but it sure is fun. Sometimes the concoctions I make don't measure up to Vermillion River's originals, but other times they're just as good, and occasionally even better (to my palate)!

This thread is so interesting that I think I'll add some bourbon flavor next and see how that goes to approximate Blend No. 7. (I don't have a sample of that, so I won't really know how close it is.) I've already made some Kentucky Amaretto, however, and the addition of a little of that almond liqueur flavor was very tasty.

Kentucky Premium is one of the best tobacco bases I've vaped (along with Natural Tobacco by PrimeVaping, Vita Bella by GoodEJuice, and Tobacco Absolute).

I just bought this one and rather than type out a review I'll just add to this one. It's a fantastic vape. I'm not a huge fan of the other kentucky premiums because something in them upset my stomach. So far this one has done nothing but please. The bourbon and tobacco are well put together so one doesn't outmatch the other. This is most definitely an original liquid that tastes extremely well, if you like bourbon.

That settles it. Kentucky Blend No. 7 and Applewood orders coming up. :D :banana:

Thanks, all of you! :)
