What's the quality of juice from the North like?

[Chemical Bromance]

I picked up a bottle of Indonesian juice when I was in JKT: Hero57-Banana Peanut Butter. It smelled great out of the bottle, with a string nutty fragrance but rather weak on the vape; only banana is apparent on the finish with mild to no nuttiness. Understand from my friend in the South that the quality can vary by batch and brand; need to experiment more to find some goodies and get more recommendations.
Started reading about MY juices and am keen to try... But what's their quality like? Saw an "quote" from an MY maker who insisted that MY juices are topshelf quality and that MY juices would be flying off the shelf in western markets like Europe because they use only the best ingredients.
Can anyone comment on this? Or even recommend some brands worth trying on my next visit North?

Imho for MY juice one main issue is that the nic content is rarely legit. When they advertuse 6mg is probably 1-2mg if at all. Most of them tend to have a lot of sweetener and/or menthol. One brand everyone seems to recommend is Bells Brew, it's a tad more expensive but their juices is the only one that has a more legit nic content. It's balanced decently as well and not overly cold.

I started as a non-smoker with only the occasional cigar so nice content isn't that bug a concern with me. I'm on 3mg on my juices now and I know that makes me a lightweight.

I get more lightheaded with a cohiba behike than 2ml's of 6mg US juice.. haha. I don't think you are a lightweight! The premium brands from up north have quite a good nic content! I.E. Mr Vapor Crema Bacco

You're a Cuban fan? Apart from Cohibas I'm usually more partial to Dominicans. Milder flavour.

I'm a full bodied fan, heh. But no longer, rid myself of any tobacco already!

@smokyribs I think you have had some varied experiences with MY juice. Care to share?

OT... imho, Cohibas are over-priced. I was buying Partagas & Montecristo locally till price when crazy(even in DFS).
Then I switch to pipe... and again price of those tins went crazy. Its not about taxes, in our local scene there are only few importer that easily manipulate the price.

Now back to topic...

Depending what you are comparing it to. US walmart juice taste almost the same as what we get from our north.
If you don't have any long term source to get authentic boutique juice, you might as well stay with what you have.
I travel often and have tried some nice nutty/creamy stuff. Its like comparing cordial sunkist juice with fresh pressed orange juice.

Started on The Golden Ticket today. Must say it's not especially impressive.
Sweet and creamy but the chocolate flavour was terribly mild. No nic also meant no throat hit so was an easy vape; standing in the cold of a Melbourne winter night is a great way to vape.

In the nanny land of oz, other than the price of alcohol, nothing entertaining came cheap and easy....
They have so much restriction that anything smokorama or vaporama are expensive and uninteresting ;-(

But at least there access to them unlike where we live.

How is the kings crest?

 

[Chemical Bromance]

I started with the KC Duchess Reserve and I absolutely LURVE it.
At the vape shop in Oz, they only had the regular Duchess. I was assured that the only diff was:
a) 0% nic
b) Regular marshmallow instead of toasted marshmallow
Sad to say, the experience vaping has been terribly underwhelming.
Its still sweet and fragrant but a pale shadow to the DR. Like if you're used to listening to highend headphones and suddenly someone give you a ....ty pair of Samsung earbuds; same song but the difference is night and day.
Frankly I'm still too much of a newbie to know if the difference is due to the lack of nic, as I'd been told that juices with nic will taste stronger and be richer. But here, it's definitely the case.
Heck, I only loaded up 2.5ml tonight on my Serpent mini. (EDITED)

It's pretty sweet but doesn't seem to have the depth of the Reserve. But it's still a nice juice with a nice desert flavour and not-overpowering sweetness.
For the same price, if you can get it, go for the Reserve. But if all you can get is the Duchess, it'll do.
