I like them quite a bit, and recommend Nilla Gorilla, Puddin' #9, Apple Buns, Mach 10, Dirty Dutchman, and Mimosa if I'm picking six. I haven't tried their newest, Loopy Fruit, but it has picked up a lot of good reviews in a short time. I didn't care much for the popular Spoonlicker variants, the Milk, or Caramel Cream. The custards are good, but a bit light in flavor for some folks.

They need a long steep, some moreso than others. Like @empteeteacup I didn't much care for Lemon Bar until I forgot about it for months and then picked it up again. If you're trying them out, get the small bottles, squeeze out the air, shake thoroughly, and put them away for 2 weeks minimum before trying them out.

If I'm going to start shopping at ITC, do I need to get a syringe?

If you order the big 120ml bottles, you will either need a syringe or purchase the dropper caps separately. The smaller bottles come with their own.

The have some of the best strawberry flavors around. Most of their flavors are good FOOB, but most get better with steep. I enjoyed quite a few of their line and only moved on due to my own preference for wanting cleaner burning liquids. ITCvapes uses added sweeteners that tend to gunk up coils quickly. While I enjoy their liquids, I just hated what they did to my coils.

Any idea why they don't they sell 50/50?

This has to do with their base, which is a bit thicker than other vendors. I'm not sure why, but I've heard theories about anhydrous VG and the like. Here's what the vendor said on fB (which I quoted back in April in the big old ITC thread, now closed by the mods):

"All ratios are PG/VG
There seems to be a lot of concern from the tank users about our recent switch to 60/40. Please let me clear up a few things. In the past we continually received complaints that our 50/50 blend was too thick and did not wick properly with a CE4, evod, etc tanks. We changed to 55/45 and recently to 60/40, which is the most consistent to the market standard 50/50, yet continued to call it 50/50 to avoid confusion. We just released new labels and we considered keeping the name 50/50 but really wanted to be able to call it what it actually is...a 60/40 that vapes like 50/50. With that said, you can rest assured that the "new" 60/40 will vape no differently than the old 50/50."

I was buying 240 ml bottles of Mach 10 until I started DIY. At that point I still had an almost full bottle of Mach 10. What I did was make unflavored liquid with the same mg of nic with my DIY supplies and mixed it with the Mach 10 at 3 parts unflavored to 1 part Mach 10 and I still like it a lot. I don't have much experience with commercial e liquid but I suspect most of them use more flavor than needed for a good vape.

Any idea if the "nilla gorilla" has good throat hit?

Nilla Gorilla is a smooth banana/vanilla pudding with a little cookie or graham cracker taste. The flavor doesn't really impart throat hit in this case. If you get any, it'll be from the nic and power levels.

I got nilla gorilla in 60/40 with 18mg, I vape at 7 watts. How much throat hit will it have do you know? Have you tried their rye4? That's the only flavor I vape at ecblend

That NG will still be pretty smooth, but with those options you've done all you can to bring the throat hit. I do enjoy their Silver RY4 also, and I've got a big bottle of it. It's a good choice when you really want a cigarette, since the Turkish note is very robust.

Have you tried the rye4 from ecblend? how does ITCV's version compare to that one?

No, I haven't tried anything from ECBlend, though I've had them bookmarked a long time. These days, I'm making juice myself, so I'm not looking hard for vendors. Anyway, though it's hard to answer in detail whether the throat hit or flavor will be suitable for you, hopefully my impressions can help. You'll probably need to try out a couple 15mL bottles to find out more.

I've tried the NG and it is a little too smooth for me lol, I'm vaping more often because of it lol. I need my liquid to have a little more TH than this stuff gots. This liquid gunks up your coils faster than any liquid I've tried to date. Do all their flavors gunk up coils super fast? I have to dry burn my coils every other day or every couple days.
