What's Typical Steep time for 555 & 555 Exotic?

[Dant]

I just tried these two for the first time, they have a born-on date of 5/8/12.

The 555 has a very strong, perfumey, lemon/rose taste to it. I don't get any nuttiness taste at all. The 555 Exotic has the same lemon/rose taste, just a little more subdued, but also has no nuttiness taste that I can detect yet.

Anyone else have this experience with these two juices? Do they just need more time? How long do you usually steep these juices?

This should say it all. 555e dwindles fastest of all my juices. I guess it gets the title of all day vape.

I have read that post, thanks. Have you ever gotten the lemony/rose taste from the 555 or 555e?

 

[Mr.Mann]

Lemon-y, sort of...kinda more citrus-y than anything. I also get a slight floral (but not rose), and nutty (not peanut) quality that reminds me of green tea. There is a slight sweetness that is reminiscent of a touch of honey, or agave nectar. I really vape a lot of this stuff. I think I am going to send you a pm. What mg are you using?

 

[Dant]

OK, thanks for the response. Was just wondering if that citrus/floral taste is a normal part of the 555, or if it metamorphosizes into a nuttiness. I plan to let it steep much longer before trying it again. Using 12mg, btw.

 

[Mr.Mann]

I don't know, I tend to think 555e is perfect right out of the mailbox and don't notice much difference as time goes by, maybe a little more citrus? But, I can't even keep 30ml's longer than two weeks, and I drip! haha.

Guess my taste buds are funny like that, picking up all kinds of tastes that may be totally different after the juice has steeped. I've only been off cigarettes for 3 1/2 weeks mind you. So now I'm really curious to see what this juice is like after some steep time.

The first time I tried the Casablanca fresh, it had a strong peppery taste that I wasn't crazy about. But after it steeped, that peppery taste turned into the cocoa in the Casa, and now it is my absolute favorite juice and my all-day vape.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Only 3.5 weeks off analogs? Oh, that makes things totally different. Your palate is still recovering! Even if that is not it, here's to your change of lifestyle and congrats!!!!

The regular 555 tastes perfumey/flowery to me when fresh, I give it 2 months then it's wicked. The Exotic, to me, is good right from the mailbox.

Disclaimer: The above is subjective.

 

[Dant]

Thanks Dopeh, I wasn't sure if the flowery taste was normal or not. I will store the juice away for a nice long time and try it again.

By the way, since you're in Montreal is there any chance you could send me down a Schwartz's smoked meat sandwich?

 

[dopeh]

...a Schwartz's smoked meat sandwich?

You win at life.

 

[Dant]

If I lived in Montreal, I would have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday.

Open the package, drip and vape! Wonderful!

i got the 555 exotic and the hunter's blend in my last order...no, wait-the order i got before todays, which was a re-stock of my casablanca and malty toffee! i can't keep track of it. i love the 555 exotic, and the hunter's blend is fantastic, too-both right out of the mailbox! i had to order a big bottle of the hunter's, since they're saying it's a "limited edition", and it's goooooood!

i wish i got into vaping before bb stopped making ry4 and ejoker...sigh.

I'm vaping 555Exotic right now, B10/12/2012. It's the first time since I put it to bed the day I got it in the mail after a few drips. It's pretty freakin' good.
