I am not trying to trash people's juices, but....when you start asking for 20.00+ for a bottle of juice...it's alot, you should be delivering something special, Witcher's brew ain't. I think at these prices vapers need to pass on to each other the truly good juices so they don't waste their money.there seems to be a trend where mediocre offerings are bieng dressed up in fancy bottles and passed off as artisan, or top shelf juices. when in fact the only thing top shelf about alot of these juices is their labeling and web sites.
I vaped witchers brew on ceramic wicks in a genny about 1.3 at 11 to 15 watts.no matter what I vaped it at it was banal.The juice is good juice it is just banal...none of the flavors with the exception of the peach jumps out, and even the peach is an anemic voice.The flavors are weak and watery, and the marriage of flavors is grounds for anullment, they kinda bump into each other,occasionally, but....nobody is dancing.....for 22+bucks you can do better.

Thanks for the info....I agree 20+ is well...outrageous unless it's 50ml or more bottle. BUT...have you steeped the juice for a bit? Sometimes you need to to really bring the flavor out. It might be better in a week or more, however it should rock out of the bottle at that price.....just my opinion of course.

At that price it needs to be right on the spot.

why?

I don't know about that specific juice
but I don't expect juice to not need steeping based on price
I expect it to be quality based on price

my best juices all need some level of steep time

especially complex flavors

It would be impossible to offer great complex flavors that you can order preferred nic and pg/vg ratio that does not need steeping
without having stocking issues

You know a friend of mine used to say......."it used to be companies made things, shoes, cars,fridges,.....now they just want to make money".
I think alot of businesses spend to much attention to MBAs, and not enough to craftsmen.

These types of juice don't come with prefered vg/pg ratio it is a given and only a handful ofnic levels are available, so the juices are usually somewhat steeped and then companies like 5 pawns who make wonderful juice actually presteep their juice.

Is Witches Brew that one with the little skull on the bottle? they sure have cool labeling though

like I said I have never tried that juice

all I am saying pricing has nothing to with if its presteeped or not
my top vendor has presteeped cheaper then the unsteaped made to order version

there are out of stock issue many times you cant get nic prefrance and other thing as well

I have a speed steeping method that works well most of the time (a cardboard box on a board on my radiator, lol)

Honestly though I don't get why they can't pre-steep it by subjecting it to a bit of warmth for a while. Although that might not work for all juice, I know it didn't work for a couple i have

steeping for alot of juices is what makes a very good juice a great juice,and I'm not sure if you can rush it, but I think more important is ingridents, and a great recipe...people with great palates going out on a limb to make juice that is unique. as a community we haven't been given alot of choices in the levels of artistry of the juices that were available, flavors yes, lots of flavors,but artistry no...that is changing quickly,but it's like anything else, people will pay more for it, but you had better deliver.

you know it took me a year to get around to trying boba's....you'd hear all this hype about it, and conflicting descripitions of what it tasted like.... kinda confusing. eventually I tried it, and you could understand why it was so popular. try it sometimes.It's not a juice I always have around, but I enjoy it, and understand why some people always have a bottle in their house somewhere.

The description I've heard of a raisin flavor on that one is what really threw me off of it-does it taste like raisins? So many popular flavors/brands aren't a big hit with me it makes me wary
