I'm with you, Mr.M.

I'm not much for standard 555s, although I have seven of those languishing in the bottom drawers of my juice cabinets (otherwise known as the juice Graveyard). The two others that I like and keep clearo-loaded are not at all standard---BWB 555 Exotic and SpringVapor Black Label 555---and that's precisely why I like them, because they're so atypical.

Yes...those are atypical. However I keep a tank filled with one each Black Label 555 and the Exotic. I also love the Smokeless Image 555 as my traditional favorite. These three share nothing in common but the name. I rotate these three all day along with a few others. (cheating right now with Mountain Oaks Whiteleaf)

This just goes to show how taste differs from one person to the next. I love Spring Vapor's Black Label 555. I hated BWB 555 Exotic. Go figure.

I just got some Tampa a few days ago. VS is doing 2 free samples for first timers. It has little flavor and little smell right now, does this one change with a good steep because Eric said they shouldn't need to steep much.

I'm surprised to read that your VS Tampa has little flavor. My experience with Tampa was that it has a strong, rough-and-ready taste that is amply flavorful. That opinion was from my early days of vaping more than two years ago, however, and I've mostly switched over to NETs now, so my reaction to Tampa might be very different today.

I don't know if steeping will help or not. I sort of doubt it, but you never know. On the other hand, I don't want to ask the potentially offensive question, "Are your taste buds still dead from smoking?" I presume that the answer is no, at least if you can taste the flavors in other juices. There's always the chance that Tampa just isn't for your particular palate and brain.

I talked with Eric yesterday and I think some of the differing reactions could, in part, be due to his samples being 50/50 and the first Tampa on the site is at 100% VG. There is another Tampa on the second page at 50/50, but I'd be willing to bet that some people are buying different versions.

Unfortunately, Gold lost out today to a nicely aged Smooth Criminal. Smooth Criminal, when aged properly, is all that I want with Gold, but with actual tobacco. Don't get me wrong, I'll take Gold over BH anytime, I just can't do BH.

We're not done, Voltron. The hunt continues!!!

Is it possible to order Smooth Criminal with extra tobacco extract? I found it a bit too light for my tastes, and perhaps some extra extract might fix it for me.

BTW, I consider BH and Gold to be dessert vapes, as I don't get any tobacco flavor from them at all. BH tastes to me like Lucky Charms.

Probably, but I am not sure. Are you still using cartos? Is Gold and BH tobacco? Nope, but for the bare minimum respect for a great company, I will classify them as such with one caveat: quotation marks. "tobacco" :D

I haven't used a carto in like forever because they BLOW. I'm actually offended by your insinuation. :mad:

I use Fluxomizers and Phoenix bottom coil clearos. Don't ever insult me like that again. ;)

Hey, I asked at least. :oops: I was just going to say that Eleanor uses cartos and she has some success, so I was thinking maybe she could give a clue about her PG/VG ratio. I actually just bought some IKV Diamond cartos so I could have some ready to go with my soon to arrive Tampa. I think every JDS can be great but with the right juice.

Cartos used to work fine for me, but then I ran into multiple packs in which roughly 50% of them gave me problems (nasty burnt flavor, malfunctioning coils, etc.). I was using carto friendly juice and filling them properly, so the issue was caused by the cartos themselves. I finally gave up on them completely when I discovered Fluxos.

Those bad batches of hardware are enough to make a man go CRAZY! One time I got a 5 pack of attys and only one worked. Man, I thought I was going to have to smack a XXXXX!

I found that now after 2 days caps off plus a few days caps on the two samples I got from Eric (Tampa and VS4) are starting to come around. I feel I've been fortunate enough to find god juices pretty early on in my search thanks to people like you and Mann and the threads you guys frequent. These are tasting decent but not something Im in love with but ill still give them some more time. My taste buds seem to have recovered but after long days of vaping and not properly hydrating I do get the dreaded disabled taste buds, could've been the case. Either way I'm glad to have sampled more juices a d expand my palate I. The realms of 555's and RY's.

Hmm interesting. But the free samples he sent were the 50/50 which should carry more flavor.

Think I might have to try this one. I checked out and it's surprising they don't mention it's a NET online. But I know if you say so you've probably done your research lol. Have you tried the regular Spanish gold? Do they have any other NET's you recommend?
To get a really good sweet tobacco
Another candidate might be Caramel Spanish Gold from Sweet-Vapes. No doughy element in that one, but very deep caramel combined with a good NET tobacco. It's not sweet enough as sold, but that could be remedied very easily. Add acetyl pyrazine or vanilla cupcake flavor along with a strong jolt of sweetener to Caramel Spanish Gold, and we might have a winner.

Yes the Tampa is good agreed.

Go with the 50/50. Tampa isn't really going to carry a ton of flavor like the juices you generally see me champion. I got Tampa casue every once and awhile I like to eat bread with no butter. :blink:

Eric is doing a special right now. Giving out 2 free samples of liquid for first time customers no purchase required. Pretry generous. They are 5ml Samples all 12mg Nic and 50/50 pg/vg. About 12 flavors to choose from. :score:
