I am fairly new to all this and as a beginner I scrolled around here and found some different juice vendors and ordered from some of them. Highbrow was one of the ones I ordered from. I will say the RY4 was very very good. I also got some exotic and french pipe. I also enjoy the french pipe, though think the RY4 is a little better to me. The exotic was my least favorite. I had noticed in some of the reviews some people were ordering a little apple or peach mixed in with exotic, wish I had done that, but I didn't. I ordered 30ml bottles of each of these so I will end up vaping the exotic. It is not bad just a little lacking on flavor for me. I can say though I think all of these juices are of very high quality. I have a question as a newbie though. I ordered all VG. I am sure being all VG that makes it thicker. I had also ordered some boge cartomizers just to try different juices. I have a ego stardust cartomizer that I have not loaded yet. These juices are very thick. Will they wick ok in the stardust?

The majority of carto's and clearo's are not made for thick juices... but you won't know until you try because how you vape, what voltage you use and other factors also makes a difference on a vaporizers performance...

Filler type cartos like the boge will require that you let them sit a while after filling otherwise you risk burning the filler and ruining the carto... vaping a higher voltage will also cause it to use juice faster also risking a dry hit... chain vaping also will play a role in this...

With a true stardust ( there are many fake clones out there ) you will need to keep the wicks wet... in other words tilt it often.

I hear using some distilled water can help thin a thick juice without sacrificing the flavor... you'll need to research this on how much... I use a standard 80 PG / 20 VG myself... Remember that more PG has more flavor but some have a sensitivity to PG... more VG has more vapor... but also remember that VG is thicker and vaporizers will often not work properly with a thick juice so you have to make adjustments to get exactly what you are looking for.

Got my 2nd order form Highbrow yesterday. Tried the Orange de Sangre and watermelon this time. Four diff juices from them and impressed with all of them. This orange...wow, it's like I can feel the acidity "bite" on my tongue. It tastes like a mix of regular OJ and Sunny D and very flavorful. The watermelon is smooth as silk and pretty tasty, much better than a watermelon from another place I tried. Think I'll try their tobacco's and drink flavors next.

Got my 2nd order of juice yesterday. More cappuccino Diablo, and trying waffle and tiramisu. I am currently using stardusts. Has any one used waffle or tiramisu in them? Also 100%vg. If not, what are you using for these thick dark juices? Anyone tried the stallion? I am hesitant because I am really enjoying no filler.

that's okay...I was too untill I tried the stardust. Soo easy to fill and clean. I did not realize that the off taste I was getting a lot of was filler. Love having just the taste of the juice. Guess I will just try it and see if it will take the juice...if not I will be trying something else...hopefully not back to cartos. Thanks for answering me.

@ Jfoster1. For filling cartos and/or thinning 100% VG juices (all I am able to vape, PG sensitive), a trick i use that works wonders is adding a few drops of Golden Grain or Everclear alcohol to your juice, make sure you shake them well before vaping. If you are unsure about altering all 30ml of juice, just put about 7 or 10ml in a smaller dropper bottle and try it first! For me, this makes my juice perfectly consistent for all atty/carto/tank/drip/etc and adds a nice throat hit. BTW, love these Highbrow juices. I am convinced that whatever process/ingredients they use is quite unique and possibly magical. haha. The flavors get even better if you can let em sit for a week or two. I don't know why, but I have tried it with all of the juices I have ordered from them and it is true, especially with their fruit flavors.

I have to say that Highbrow is, so far, the highest quality juice and the most friendly+helpful service I have encountered thus far. I am allergic to PG, so it can often be difficult to find stout flavors in 100% VG. The only thing that can be considered a draw back is that, YES!, your Highbrow juices need to steep for at least a week or two before they reach peak flavor. This is even more important (pretty much a requirement) for their more delicate flavors i.e Pure Pear, Orange de Sangre, etc. I list those two because the reviews spoke of "biting into a fresh (insert fruit here), just like the real thing!" When I got my juices from them the first time I dug right in. ZERO flavor for the fruits, minimal for the menthol. So, I ordered several more juices from several more vendors, but one night picked up the Orange (which had the most five star reviews). Talk about night and day. That juice went from no flavor (maybe it had a hint of "essence"), no smell, to a robust, juicy orange flavor that makes me wonder how they achieved it. Then I tried all of the other flavors and...EUREKA! It took about two and a half weeks for these juices to reach their peak. I am curious to those who have had Highbrow juices for several months: Do the flavors get more intense the longer you have them? or do they peak after a certain amount of days?


hmm first of all Hi to ya'll been busy this summer enjoying the sun and such so I've been MIA a bit. Hope everyone is doing great!

BigErn, this was interesting for me because my experience with Orange de Sangre was quite different. Right out of the mailbox it had a nice strong orangey smell and since I don't usually have much patience is tasted great right off the bat for me. Over time it mellowed out a bit and is quite tasty still. It's not a juice I can vape all day so I still have some from a while back and it's still at that point of nice fresh OJ but not as strong as brand new.

i love the orange de sangre. it is so incredibly tasty. i bet it would be great to alternate between that and the waffle for a nice breakfast vape!

the only other highbrow juice ive had is the RY4. it was nice, but it was a gift froma friend and it wasnt in my preferred mg/ml.

i think the blackberry limoncello is next up on my docket. i love blackberry (and limoncello, too!), so if the blackberry is as spot-on as the orange, i'll be very delighted.

FTR, are there any highbrow juices that anyone can recommend that have a particularly high TH? im thinking that the citrus aspect of the limoncello might punch up the TH. maybe the Strewberry lemonade might do that as well. then again, i might want to go cappuccino, or possibly even exotic...hmmm

!!! Thank you so much! Everything I see from your company continues to solidify its position as the best juice vendor around. I'm sure there's a good possibility it's just my taste buds; I'm almost curious if this juice really just gets better and better as it steeps - so much that an older bottle would taste that much different than a newer one? :?: I guess I'll find out as soon as I sample the next bottle! (⌒_⌒#)

Again, THANK YOU; I really appreciate it! I actually had placed my order two nights ago, right after my earlier post. :oops: Your Highbrowbacco RY4 is addicting; my impatience got the best of me! I'm not sure if you've already shipped it....if you have, then don't even worry about it; I'll send you a PM with the order details ASAP.

I'm totally late and don't mean to derail the thread, but I just wanted to say for the record that the new bottle of cheesecake juice is just as delicious as I remember it :) Thanks again for being the best e-juice vendor around!
