Thanks Brat.

I'll be reviewing Peach and Banana soon. I've not even had a chance to taste the Banana yet but a quick test of the Peach tells me it tastes just like a... peach. I'll try to have both of these evaluated by the end of the weekend. It's such a struggle to break away from the liquids I truly love to spend time with the ones I may not like so much. But one thing for sure to love about Matt's liquids is you can always expect the unexpected.

dinc, don't do it. Cigarettes not only suck, they suck the life out of you. Stay away. Far away.

Moonlighter, a coffee stirrer, a spray schnozzle for canned air or WD-40, small gauge hi-temp wire insulation, generic Q tip tubes, and so on. They all work for that application.

Thursday was Banana day. It didn't start well but I didn't follow my own rules. Silly monkey.

I loaded up a new cartridge with the Banana liquid, grabbed a single battery mod box, a clean atomizer and raced out to do a job. Around mid-morning I decided to take a break and fire up the vaporizer. I dripped the atomizer, installed the cartridge and started hitting it. I couldn't get the vapor to flow very well. What I was getting was an OMG powerful sweetness with the flavor of a sugar overdosed banana pudding. It was attacking the back of my throat like a confectioners sugar furball and making me cough.

Almost mercifully, it was over as soon as it began. My cig quit. The upside was I was done taking vapor from this vat of candy. The downside was I was done vaping for the duration. I was especially disappointed that Banana didn't want to be my friend. I figured maybe the weather was too hot and humid for making vapor. The atomizer was getting very hot around the middle but doing no good. Since I didn't have time to dink around with a busted e-cig, Banana would wait for another time. A quick negotiation prior to the long ride home at 5 PM produced minimal results. By adjusting the power pin, I got it to cough up a some weak puffs but it quit again before I made five miles.

Upon arrival back at the residence/e-cig shop, the multimeter quickly illustrated the problem. Heh, my battery was slightly under three volts. Monkey don't charge battery, monkey don't get Banana for lunch.

After rigging up to my usual triple battery testbox, Banana began looking much better. Turns out the rip-out-your-throat blast of sweetness was a byproduct of a three volt power supply. Increasing the voltage made a world of difference in the liquid. Imagine that!

Banana smells and tastes just like a ripe banana but it also has that great and familiar WetYourStick essence of fine smoke. With Banana, the sensation of smoking a fine tobacco product is somewhat muted as compared to the brighter stars from WYS but it is a very pleasant vapor. Although sweet vapes and sweet wines aren't exactly to my taste, I like this Banana just as I enjoy a well-made mead. Once the chores were done and the critters were fed, I popped the cork on a nice bottle of blueberry mead and settled in to check out the e-juice in detail. I find it to be quite nice.

Banana merits some serious tasting and I'm sure it will add a unique and valuable character to the proper blend. Banana is my friend. Happy monkey.
 
I've got to write about the menthol cause us menthol smokers are a picky bunch. Just got a 30ml bottle today and I have found my holy grail of menthols. It's clean but not minty. I used to smoke Kool XL and this is damned close. There's none of the sticky sweet flavor that I've had in others, just a true menthol taste.

I got medium (18mg) which surprisingly has a nice throat kick to it. Most mediums I've tried were hit or miss on that. I used to think Totally Wicked had my favorite menthol (couldn't always afford it) but Wet Your Stick beat that one for me. Plenty of vapor too!

WYS now has all my juice business ~ taste, vapor, throat hit, price, shipping rates & times and that really, really cute travel bottle has sold me.

No mechanical drama or vapor deprivation stories to be reported in this review. Just a nice, relaxing time puffing Peach and frittering away too many hours watching the 77th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Even though many of the 18 hours of live coverage were more documentary and history than actual racing, it's one of my favorite events. It falls short of a good Indycar or Formula 1 race but it's significant nevertheless. There's a lot of very high technology in Le Mans cars. The mere fact they survive 24 consecutive hours of flat-out racing is amazing. The diesel powered prototypes of Peugeot and Audi are especially awesome. Their V-12 and V-10 engines are much different animals than the diesel in my Ford dually pickup truck. Heh, being capable of speeds in exceeding 220 mph, I reckon so. In a fascinating twist, Peugeot beat the stink out of Audi this year. After 10 years of almost total dominance, the new P1 cars of Audi were so much slower than the 908's they may as well have been tied to a stump.

This liquid is peach, the whole peach and nothing but the peach. It is true. It's like eating a peach so ripe and juicy that you just caught it falling out of the tree. Sweet and rich.

Peach is a very powerful and tremendously sweet flavor. So sweet that the first puffs of a session attack my throat like that powdered sugar furball of Banana on low voltage. The thing with the Peach is it hits me that way even with a full 4.18 volts to the atomizer. After a few puffs, the sensation is gone and it's nothing but peach all the way. I blindsided my wife with it as a test. The sweet little furball nailed her and clawed it's way out but, like me, after a few puffs, the sensation diminished and settled into nothing but delicious.

If you want a vapor that is pure peach and remains pure for the duration, check this one out. You will not be disappointed. There is not one iota of perfume or trickery to the flavor of this liquid. Believe the name because that is exactly what you get. It makes me wish I could sandwich it in between a good biscuit hot and fresh out of the oven and a big pile of ho'made whipped cream. It's that good.

Crazyhorse, I love your reviews. You sound like such a connoisseur! My only worry is that, well, my taste buds are pretty well nonexistent on a good day...I wonder if I'll be able to savor subtle flavors like you do.

Either way, keep it up. They're fun to read.

You're hitting the point that your tastebuds are going to come back on you. It happens (from my own experience and from speaking with others) around 30-40 days out. This is also the approximate time you get your nose back too... just watch out for weight gain, food will taste better than it has in years :)

Here's a synopsis of the ten WetYourStick liquid reviews I've posted to this thread.

Significantly absent are the two remaining flavors. I will not be reviewing menthol. I don't do menthol. Never have, never will. My wife doesn't touch the stuff either so we won't be investing in that flavor. I also won't be reviewing Flavorless. Since I'm all about taste, reviewing Flavorless is Pointless.

I will be reviewing additional liquids as they become available.

In the alphabetical order:

Banana - A tobacco banana. Not a staple for me but a delicious diversion. It's a fine smoke.

Caramel - Highly complex with a progression of tastes. Slight sweetness that decreases throughout the session. Look back to the full review. This is one fascinating liquid. Great standalone flavor or a wonderful mixer. Top of the line.

Chocolate - Complex and interesting with all the sweetness of raw cocoa. Don't be expecting a hershey kiss. Important flavor for mixes.

Cola - It indeed tastes like cola. Sweet and simple. My wife's favorite.

Cuban Cigar - Rich, buttery flavor. Mucho tobacco. Any perception of sweetness requires a more vivid imagination than I possess. Excellent standalone flavor.

Peach - Peach. 100% pure peach. Nothing more, nothing less. This is a very sweet and powerful flavor. Like Banana, not a staple for me but a delicious diversion.

Rose - Tastes exactly like the smell of roses in full bloom. Very powerful flavor. A lovely liquid for a particular mood. Rose also has high value as a taste deodorant. It can make your foulest "tobacco" juice much more palatable. I have two early blindbuy mistakes from other suppliers. These are juices to be banished to the back of the fridge until there is no more juice on the planet to be had. The amendment of 50% Rose actually makes them tasty. Quite an amazing feat.

Rum - Tremendously sweet, aromatic and intense. A powerful flavor that's fruity and exotic. Dedicate the cartridge to this one. It will be Rum's forever.

Tobacco - Nice tobacco taste with slight sweetness. Best when mixed with Vanilla and used as a standalone or a base for further mixing.

Vanilla- Strong tobacco with undertones of vanilla. Only the most insignificant touch of sweetness. A most important base for mixes and great as a standalone. Another top of the line liquid.
_______________________

Caramel, Vanilla, Chocolate and Rum will not be what you expect if you're going on name alone.

Banana, Cola, Peach and Rose are absolutely true to their names.

If you like to smoke tobacco and/or cuban cigars, Tobacco and/or Cuban Cigar will please you greatly.
 
Due to crazyhorse's very good reviews and a few others added reviews in this thread I'm going to give these guys a try. I was going to re-order some juice from TW but with all the positive feedback here and the good prices I think I'll be happy.

The thing that has me mostly intrigued is the way that a few of you have said the tobacco and/or Cuban cigar juices remind you of real tobacco or analogs. After trying a few of the camel, marlboro, and tobacco flavored juices trying to find one that tastes anything like the real thing but instead getting something that tasted more like a sweet pipe tobacco taste than anything I had given up the search.

Now you guys have me hoping again. The question I have now is which one tastes more like a real cigarette out of wet your sticks juices tobacco or Cuban cigar flavors?

Wonder if I would still get the free shipping deal if I ordered 3 bottles of 30ml juice and used the 10% off 1st order NEWCUSTMR code?

I see they removed the discount code and just lowered their prices. Works for me!

I placed my order, just went with the tobacco, cuban cigar, and vanilla. I figure if I'm gonna get anything close to a real cigarette taste its gonna be with one or some combination of those 3. The rum, cola, and peach flavors sounded intriguing I'm sure I'll be ordering those next.

Now that I'm done with the pesky reviews for a while, I'm back to playing with my mixes. This afternoon I made up a bottle that is just delicious. I used 40% Caramel @ 36 mg, 20% of Vanilla @ 36 mg and 20% each of Tobacco and Chocolate @ 24 mg along with a little whack of PG. The flavors presented are amazing.

The mix adds stability to the initial qualities of the Caramel which is a very good thing. The cocoa and subtle flavor of vanilla come through nicely. It offers a nice level of sweetness and complexity of flavor. Different qualities hit your mouth nose and throat simultaneously. It simply reeks of tobacco flavors approaching the level of an unimaginably fine cigar, the likes of which I've yet to find at any price. Dang, I love this juice.

Heh, the best part is the best is still to come with fine tuning. I'm not fully sold on the value of Tobacco and I'm thinking that cutting it by 10 and adding 5 to Vanilla and Chocolate will show an improvement. If I could only work in a touch of a fine coffee taste, like the Jamaican Blue Mountain flavor found in some of the Macanudo cigars, perfection would be just around the corner.

Although this batch only worked out to a fuzz over 18 mg, she kicks like a mule. This juice has a level of strength that will make you spit a lung if you get overambitious with the size of the hit.
 
I received my order yesterday, that's ordered 6/18 and received in the mail 6/20. Very fast shipping! Nicely packed and the free small travel bottles are the coolest thing since sliced bread.

I ordered Tobacco, Cuban cigar, and Vanilla all 24mg. I use a cleaned out 510. In my earlier post I said I was eager to try these flavors because some were saying they were able to come close to a cigarette taste. 1st off let me say that none of them taste like a cigarette right out of the bottle. But now a few weeks into this new vaping thing I realized that I'm glad they DON'T taste like a cigarette! Those things taste like crap now! I haven't had an analog since the 2nd day I've had my 510 and I can say that I don't miss them at all now.

Now back to the WYS juices I ordered. All 3 look very nice and smell/taste very fresh. I didn't like the Cuban cigar at 1st but after giving it some time it grew on me. It has a semi rich buttery taste with undertones of the tobacco flavor that is very nice. The WYS tobacco flavor does taste different from other tobacco/marlboro/camel liquids that I've tried so far. It does still have a sweet taste but not in the pipe tobacco way that the others do. The vanilla initially seemed kind of weak to me but still tasted very good. I guess thats a good thing, vanilla is one of those flavors that you don't want to be overbearing. It's not something that I personally think that I want to vape standalone but some may. I'm not that big on anykind of vanilla anything and got it mostly to mix with other flavors. I did mix some tobacco and a little of the vanilla together and I do like that alot.

All in all great service, great flavors, and very fresh. I will buy from them again.

Great review Clept0joe!

The final mix I came up to mimic a cigarette pulls from the best memories I could conjure up about the foul thing... but it's something I haven't tasted for more than 13 years. My wife, who still puffs an analog on occasion, has an interesting perspective on it. She says it tastes like a cigarette wishes it could.

Hah, ask and ye shall receive. I just had a look at the WYS forum and find that one of the three newly introduced flavors just happens to be coffee. Right on time.

I've decided that my previous mix is actually too heavy on the Caramel. I'm thinking substitution of 10-15% of that with the Coffee may be a really good thing. Eh, time to order again.

I finally got around to ordering some juice from Wet Your Stick, and it just arrived today. This stuff is great! Just wanted to say thank you to Crazyhorse for his reviews, and of course WYS for making the stuff.

I bought tobacco, peach, and chocolate flavors. All three are amazing, they taste much more natural than the other juices I've gotten. It's hard to describe, but in my other juices there is an aftertaste of...sort of a burnt chemical sugar that would build up in my mouth and make me put the e-cig away for a while.

Not so with Wet Your Stick's stuff! The peach really does taste like a ripe, juicy peach. The chocolate and tobacco are a bit harder to define; as Crazyhorse said they don't exactly taste like their names right off. The tobacco doesn't taste at all like tobacco as I remember it, but it's a nice, subtle smokey taste. The chocolate has a bit of mocha or perhaps dark chocolate taste to it, but it's again very subtle to me. Then again I'm one of those people that just doesn't have great taste buds to begin with.

The main thing is that these juices don't taste fake in any way. I'm loving each one of them, and that's a first for me from any company. I'll definitely be ordering more soon.
