I'm on my third ProTank full of Pirates Booty. Steeped about a month and half. I'm trying to convince myself that there's something wrong with this juice, but it just keeps on tasting amazing. It's got a slight flavour similarity to Heavenly Army (almost a graham cracker note) with an added high note of some spiciness to it. I'm shocked to say the least because I just put away (about a week ago) some juice that April had sent me called Pirates Booty that was quite not right..

Colour me confused, but I've not touched any Dragons Fire since yesterday morning. :confused:

I'm wondering if Pirates Booty does not benefit from a long steep, and should be vaped while relatively new..

Any thoughts?!

I vaped PB when it was new, a week old, two weeks old, a month old, 4 months old, etc. I got the same thing every time. Grassy with that vintage PB sweetness very faint.

See, when I received my first batch of it last July, I did not like it (did not know about steeping at that time). I gave the bottle away.. 8-o

The next time I tried it, was when April sent me what she had, and I could not take it for too long.

The batch I have now, AWESOME!!

Don't know what to make of it.. did the recipe change a couple times over?!

Just got my order in. Blueberry muffin is awesome right out of the mailbox! And as always my DF is uncapped and steeping away. I got a 15ml of serendipity. Sad to say I'm not a fan. I don't think steeping will help either. There's a flavor in there that my palette doesn't agree with! Lol.

I was wondering. Can I start a HHV share/swap thread?

Unfortunately, no you cannot! We do have a HHV group on Facebook which was setup for stuff like this.

What you're describing sounds like the batch I ordered in Jan (received/steeped Feb 13) and is presently in my Vmod. It's quite different than my first order back in Oct. (received/steeped early Nov. & gone early Dec) It's different, but not in a bad way even after almost 5 months steeping.

I vaped PB when it was new, a week old, two weeks old, a month old, 4 months old, etc. I got the same thing every time. Grassy with that vintage PB sweetness very faint.

Sorry Bronze, I'm not getting that grassiness at all in the 2013 PB. Not saying you're buds are wonky or nothing, just saying no grass.

See, when I received my first batch of it last July, I did not like it (did not know about steeping at that time). I gave the bottle away.. 8-o

Which gets me to asking what the date was for that one that April sent you, Dusty? Sounds like it may have been in the fall?

NakiFantaki, as Dusty says, you can't trade directly from these threads, you can, however, trade/sell (for cost) things in the ECF classifieds then put a note here linking to that classified. So you have another option. :D

No grassiness here either.

Could have been from last year. April didn't remember the date or the specs on it, but knew it was old.

That was really awful wasn't it? It tasted like that right from the start too. What the heck was it?

When I eventually order again, maybe I'll try it again.

Pulling out my invoices:

January 25



Hmm, we order on the same day, April. Maybe the new extract after the first of the year needed time to mature. :blink: :confused:
