I just got my samples of Kretek and Essence Clove, tried them out, and here's my humble opinions:
Let me begin my restating my review of the Dekang BLK DJ Clove
Black DJ Clove 24mg from Valley Vapor
It's more like a Djarum Light or Special, but I dig that as it's not harsh at all. It does have a clove flavor and odor, I'm not disappointed.
Kretek Clove PG 36mg (sweetened) from Tasty Vapor
I wish i could have seen the look on my face when I took my first puff. It's incredibly strong, spicy, and definitely does not remind me of cloves. Instead I get this image of myself biting off a chuck of a cinnamon stick and just chewing away at it, chewing away. Had this been labeled "Overwhelming Cinnamon Enima" this would have been spot on. Now I have to clean out my brand new cart... I'm soo good at that...
Eliquid Planet Essence Clove 16mg (??PG/VG)
This one must have also been humorous to watch me try it.
I felt like I was huffing the fumes off the biggest, fattest, most pungent incense stick you can buy. Which sure, as a kid that's the bees knees. Anyway more specifically it's similar enough to a clove to warrant further testing, although it's more like burning flower petals than clove so far.
Verdict: the Dekang is far more like a Djarum than these two. Maybe I can mix something else into these to make them more palatable (especially the Kretek).
Bonus:
Geoff's Blend 24mg (80%PG) from Tasty Vapor
This is the third sample I got today, so I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents while I'm at it. I'm not sure what it tastes like. All I know is that it's too much... something. Although I can't say I dislike it straight out, I wouldn't vape this had I a choice.
