Well, I ordered on Tuesday, and it arrived in the UK first thing on Saturday morning! Woo! Excellent service, full tracking provided, and no customs fees to pay.
I ordered the Gold, as I'm still a new vaper and am looking for an ADV that I can live with for a while, but I love trying new flavours, and have plenty of friends & family I can swap/give the juice I don't like to.
The box made it through without being too battered from its journey, and everything was so well packed that the contents were well protected.
15ml Banzai Bite Me - Guava Menthol - I'd have never ordered this, despite having a long time love affair with sugar-free Polo's, because I've been disappointed by minty vapes before. However, this is pure guava, with just a coolness from the menthol, and I'm loving it! A definite hit!
15ml Banzai Why So Serious? - Grape (apparently). Smells like bubble gum. Less inclined to try this one today, though it will get a turn eventually.
15ml Thunderhead Vapor - Piña Colada - Coconut coming through, less pineapple but I've not really given this a good go
15ml Clevervape Nostalgia - black honey tobacco - Unfortunately, this one didn't come with a dropper so I can't try this right now. I had thought that bottles without droppers would come with one in the box, but this one didn't :-(
10ml Smoke N Mist - Banana Split - Now, I'm not a banana kinda person, so this one is going to a new home, but it smells like old fashioned foam banana sweeties which is great - if you like that sorta thing!
10ml Smoke N Mist - Animal House Gum - this one I've not even opened, and another one that will be finding a new home
10ml Mastervape - Old Time Root Beer - now this one I do like. Not too 'in ya face' but a lovely smooth vape. I'm going to enjoy this for sure, and another one that I'm not sure I would have ordered
10ml Rocketfuel - The Cats Miaow - Coconut macaroon. This one certainly does what it says on the tin! Great flavour, but more suited to an autumn evening than a summery day like today. I like it, but don't loooooove it.
10ml Niquid - Midnight Express - another tobacco flavour. It's ok, it's got mixed in with something else in my EVOD so I'll have to give it another try later
10ml Seduce Juice - Sweet n Sour citrus with mango & subtle hints of Absinthe - now, I've not even tried this because straight out the gate I can tell I'm gonna LOVE this one, and so when I'm done I'll fill a whole tank and chill for the rest of the afternoon - hoorah!
And lastly,
5ml Hurricane Vapor - Pineapple cheesecake - again, I've not tried this one, but I'm really looking forward to it.
So then, a pretty mixed bag! I did expect that, and with flavour profiles being updated on their site shortly I would expect that I will be able to refine the box to more suit my preferences. Really pleased to have been able to buy one without any flavour profiles to give me a chance to flex my preconceived ideas on what I might like.
I do hope that with the flavour profiles we will be able to rule out particular flavour notes (bubblegum & banana for me) without throwing the baby out with the bath water and losing other candy & fruit flavours.
Was disappointed not to get a dropper for the Nostalgia as I'm not going to have time to get to a B&M for a while and I don't have any empty bottles I can refill. Dunno what I'm going to do there, but since it's a tobacco flavour anyway, I'm not busting my gut over it.
In this box there have probably been more misses than hits for me, but I have found three that I really think suit me perfectly, so in that respect it's been excellent.
There's plenty others that I will vape too, and only a few that will be given away, but considering the price, even including international shipping, I'm pleased, and I'll be keeping my sub for next month.
