iLardyboy i ain't well atm so i maybe wrong but all i tasted was Harvest berry (this was for sure for me at the time as that stuff sticks out a mile for me) and just something that cools your lips.

Again i ain't well atm.

Your taste buds are usually bang on mate, so I wouldn't doubt you being right.

I got a sample the other week and have to say I got no harvest berry at all.

Tastes to me a lot like haribo sour mix with some cooling on the exhale - not menthol but definitely the impression of a chill.  Tastes a lot like the jelly snake Si pops in with the bottle in fact.

What did surprise me is given people have said its an aniseed based juice I got no aniseed at all - I only get a hint in Red Astaire (to me its more blackcurrent, other berries and menthol with a subtle note of aniseed) but in this - no sign at all.

I kind of liked it but it gets a bit much for me quite quickly - certainly not an ADV - its quite a heavy flavour and got a tad sickly for me after a short period - nice for a quick toot though.

Why did you have to say sour haribos? I love those things! Now I've got to try it..! I get the same as you from Red Astaire so hoping I get the same from this. Do they do a concentrate or am I going to have another expensive favourite flavour?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using proboards

I don't think he does a concentrate, probably would lose out on too much income.

He doesn't do concentrates tmax-juices.co.uk/collections/all

I see an 80ml combo pack in my future

[Jerri]

I love it. I've used almost 50ml the past few weeks.

I get all sorts. Lemon. Like. Melon. Orange. Cooling and aniseed on the exhale. I can't vape it all day. It makes me cough but I do love it.

I also had a sample last week and i definitely got aniseed.
To me it tasted like BlackJack sweets with a hint of citrus and with a hint of Menthol on the exhale

That's almost exactly what I got Jcol . . . maybe a bit more berry than citrus though.

This would be my take on Snake Oil, i would try this out myself but i don't have the flavors:

I definitely got a strong taste of Aniseed Super-Shiny but maybe our taste buds differ

Very true, this is going by the sample i have been given and by the color of it and also taking into account that (i think) most aniseed flavors are tank breakers and Snake Oil is not a tank breaker (not as far as i am aware)

[Pepperty]

I really must try this some time ....soon!

As you say Rome it doesn't seem to be a tank breaker which would lead me to believe that possibly there might be fennel in the flavour rather than aniseed ? As there is certainly a flavour in there but milder than a full on aniseed flavouring. (UKRic suggested this so I can't take credit for it)

And dont forget there is definitely STRAWBERRY even though it seems I am the only one that can taste it Tease-smiley

Got my sample of Snake Oil today, it's awesome!! The flavours I'm getting from it are lemon, lime, pineapple, strawberry and of the course the cooling effect. I taste no aniseed at all, I do think it tastes like the jelly you get with it. To me, if a cream flavour was added to it, it would taste almost identical to a Twister ice lolly. Didn't really want to have to buy juices anymore since I make my own, but I may have to reconsider or try and mix something similar.

I've yet to taste this; not got around to trying the bottle I got yet. This is what the man himself says:

"After much experimenting and testing from forum members, this is one of the most frequently asked questions I get.
Obviously I cannot guarantee your experience will be the same as mine, and if you are unsure or unwilling to risk your tanks, then please use Pyrex, Glass or Metal tanks with your atomisers.

Snake Oil appears to not breakdown (crack) Plastic and Poly tanks

Snake Oil WILL crack acrylic tanks - DO NOT USE WITH SNAKE OIL.

Examples of Tanks not to use Snake Oil in:

The Rose Atomiser by Eden Mods - (First hand experience )
AC9 - Genesis Atomiser (Acrylic Tank)

Examples of Tanks I regularly use Snake Oil in with no problems:

Evods
AGRs
UDCT
SCUBA
KayFun - Lite/3.1es/2.1mini"

He describes the flavour like this:

"The main flavours are citrus fruits with a slight sugar coating, hard to describe but maybe something from your childhood? All this citrus is balanced with a background note of anise, which is mellow and rounded in flavour. Then it hits you with an unexpected coolness on the exhale!"

Given the state of my taste buds, what I get out of it will not be very informative

I just get a horrible lemony taste ... Like cleaning fluid ... Yuk ... It's been slung in a cupboard for 3 weeks ... Perhaps I should give it another go

agree with you ! I get grease on the exhale as well ! Still got half a bottle left after 9 weeks ! Still try it every so often as I really want to like it but doubt I ever will !

Last week I fired off an email to Simon over at TMax requesting a 5ml sample of Snake Oil.  He asked for my postal details and nic preference and said it'd go out with the next lot of orders.  (For those of you who don't know, he happily does this free of charge for potential new customers.)

It landed this morning and I really wasn't sure what to expect.  Snake Oil seems to be one of those things people either love or hate.  I was hopeful, but there were no worries either way because it cost nothing to try.  Into the new mini protank it went and off we go...

Nom, nom, nom, nom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

For today anyway, I am officially addicted!  

Does it still taste good after using it constant for a few days or do any of you who like it get sick of it sometimes?  Trying to decide how much to order and afraid to go on initial impressions because I'd be ordering a boat load.  

Read a few post regarding this flavour but couldn't find it in small quanity to try out.... so he does 5ml tester, and for free?!
If its to my taste prices look pretty reasonable too.
Will email him and see if I'm not too late!
Thanks
