Just cracked open the Grape Ape. A+ as expected! This is the best single fruit flavor I've had. I love how it's not trying to be a "real" grape, with the bitter skin taste and the plantness (...okay, so that's not a word). It's a straight up grape candy! It's like the Japanese grape candy called Hi-Chew plus a hint of a little tartness like a pixie stick at 10 watts. Will be trying the PBC Reloaded in a day or so.

So now that I'm in the club I guess I HAVE to order some of the Virus next time. ;)

And a quick question: is there a big enough difference between Gravity and Betelgeuse that I should try both of them?

I don't know the name of the action who played "that version of Russ" and Audrey, but that's my favorite. ;)

Damnit. I hate posts like this. Now I feel like 100ml of each of my flavors won't be enough................

I see myself placing yet another order this weekend. But don't tell Megan. I'm ordering GCD. ;)

ARGH!!!! I forgot the GCD!!! Well looks like a SECOND order is about to be placed...

    Luckily GCD is a staple on the site so it will be there next time, too.

    NT's juice really is some of the best I've had. There are other vendors that I do enjoy, but in sampling their flavors oven always found one that didn't come out well. They're peppery, or too harsh, or don't taste quite right. I've realized that after they make a recipe they mix juice like a short order cook, and don't test it before sending it out. I'm sure when you're mixing juice per order it's rather impossible to test every new mixed bottle before mailing out.

    To contrast that with NT, they mix a batch of the juice and taste test it while it pre-steeps before releasing it for bottling and orders. Because of that, I've never gotten a bottle of NT juice that was peppery, tasted funky, or was overly harsh.

    It took me a long time to realize that difference, but after getting some peppery juices from my other fav vendor, I realized the quality control difference NT brings. Brought NT up to my #1 and my quest for new juice/vendors just disappeared. And all of that is well before NT's excellent customer service.

    I think you hit it Zero... we *used* to mix liquid like this - matter of fact I had a boldface disclosure that people should expect differences between the bottles because of "flavor creep" in the syringes. True story. Mind you I was damn good at hand-mixing bottles 1-at-a-time with 1-3-5-10ml syringes, but there is NO WAY I was achieving the level of consistency and quality that we do now... and that level of consistency is only going to get better in the near future.
