Guys & Gals I've started a thread HEREBe really interesting to hear your thoughts on the wonderful juices we have bought. Obviously no ones tried everything right now, but overtime it'd be good to hear your opinions.

Not sure if I should put this here or on general chat?
I know many of us are vaping juices we have never tried before, bought from the TPD sales. So I thought it would be interesting to start a thread to get your thoughts on the "premium" juices some of us maybe trying for the first time. Quite a few home mixers who "don't normally buy juice" (me too by the way) bought up litres of "premium" so would be especially intrigued to hear their opinions. Not asking for full blown reviews, but feel free to do that if you wish. Just whether you like it or not and for the home mixers does it taste like any recipes you have mixed before or are normally in your rotation.
I'll start with the few I've tried to date.
Sapphire The Collection: Mixed Berries & Kiwi
Really over heavy on the sweetner which makes it foul to me. Supposed to be berries and kiwi. I do get some kiwi on the exhale but the sweetner just kills it. I get no berry taste at all. Shocked that this can sell for $22 for 30 ml in the states. Horrible.
Element Pink Lemonade: Pink Lemonade (Dripper Series): Lemonade, Red Fruit & Citrus
A very nice vape, but not an all day vape. I get a lovely lemonade & grapefruit taste from this juice, but again not much if any of the red fruit. A very well crafted juice, but again quite heavy on the sweetener, but it doesn't ruin it like with the previous juice. Although after several big hits the sweetener does become a bit overbearing. Great for a blast here and there throughout the day.
Malicious Maiden: Blackberry Cheesecake
This juice is quite a good cheesecake base, but again I'm not getting any blackberry. Maybe it's just me and I have some kind of taste aversion to berry flavours? I've added Inawera Dragon fruit 2% to one bottle and Inawera Strawberry 2% to another which perked it up a bit. I think adding any of your favourite fruit flavours to this will result in pretty vapable juice. It's not going to win any awards but it is an average all day vape. I'm on my 3rd 15ml bottle of Maiden already. So that speaks volumes really.
Trixxie Cornporn: Popcorn
I really like this juice. Sweet but reasonably balanced. Tastes like it says it does. Just like sweet buttery popcorn Likely to be laden with diacetyl, but that's probably what makes it taste so good and it doesn't put me off. A very nice juice, and could be an ADV.
ALTO Stratus: Cereal Oats
Love this. I only initially bought 20ml of this from vapourlites and as soon as I'd vaped a tank of it I went back and purchased another 100ml. They describe the taste as cereal oats and I do get that, but to me the taste is like a cheap custard cream dipped in a hot cup of tea. Don't get me wrong this is by no means a custard vape, but it's just what the flavour reminds me of. If you've ever mixed Inawera 111 then you'll know this flavour. ADV definitely.
Cheap Thrill's Little Havana: Tobacco, Biscuit, Caramel
I first bought a bottle of this juice after I got a waft of the smell from a vapour who went past the NNA stand at Vape Jam. It smelled absolutely devine, so I bought 60ml. My first pre-made juice buy in at least 2 years. Loved it so bought another 60ml at 50% off on their site. Vaped all of that and bought another 240ml in the TPD sales. I get a very creamy rich caramel with just a hint of biscuit in the back ground. Personally I cannot detect the tobacco, but that does not detract from this excellent juice. Once it's gone I'll definitely regret only buying 240ml. Without doubt an ADV because that's exactly how I've been using it.
I've tried a tank of The Simple Vape Co. Choccolacinno and it was ok, but feel it will benefit from a steep, so will leave comments for later.
Well that's all I've tried so far. As I say it doesn't have to be detailed, Just "meh" will do. I think it will be interesting to see how peoples taste differ and what each of us get from the juices we try.

Well I meant vendors in general but mentioned FT as it had already been mentioned. The USA don't have a 6 month notification period for new products yet do they? I thought most of their regs were deeming? Think California has some strict vaping laws but it's still down to states at the moment as far as I know Well that's California for you. My favourite quote on California is surprisingly from Patrick Kielty. He said "California is full of people who made it to the beach, but unfortunately never carried on into the sea"

Happy to be of assistance You did influence me to buy the Counter Culture juice though....so we're even...maybe....not? Bonogurt is one of my favs and counter culture is amazing would have took the lot but thought no I have brought enough then spent another £100 last night.... hope that cheap frills as good as you said brought 10 bottles lol I love it, so if you don't like it I'll buy it off of you.

Not sure about concentrates, but minime may have a point about FT. What with the 6 month notification period for new products in the EU. Hardware is likely to hold it's value for longer. We aren't that important to FT commercially. The USA is probably their biggest market, and has more restrictions on vaping than here.

Still waiting on loads of hardware but only have 130ml of juice left to come. I think these two juices sum it up rather well.

Posties just been again. Love the Morning Glory juices packaging. Some of this stuff is so wonderfully packaged that it's going to be a shame to vape it. Oh and he delivered my Smok Alien

I vowed no more, but if anyone does see a Avocado knocking about for reasonable money please let me know. I knew I'd regret not buying one at a fiver from ifancyone. Not sure why I regret it as I'm not a fan of rebuildables, but I do.

But I've got some fantastic equipment and juice, stuff that I really only dreamed of . . . . . looking forward to working my way through it all in the coming years. Me too. I've managed to buy items that I'd have loved to have bought before but personally could not justify the price. Hopefully I'm now sorted for several years.

Last night at 00:00 I overheard the credit cards in my wallet having a party, the debit cards were invited as well. I'll teach them, need to find a DNA mod that I like Apparently The Chancellor of the Exchequer Phillip Hammond is going to make a statement on Monday about the economy going back into recession due to a sharp & sudden decrease in public spending habits.

It was your links to to the Silo & Vpark tanks on Vapour Depot that got me started Perpetua so thank you for those and all the other bargains you shared with us all. Thank you to each everyone of you for posting bargains galore. It's been a hell of a lot of fun. I know its been a while since I've been on this forum ( I do lurk from time to time) but it really is the best one on the net and that's solely down to the members and moderators. Enjoy all your goodies & your beans on toast for the next 6 months To anyone who feels they missed out, then there are still some great hardware deals to be had over on the Health Cabin thread.
