Hi all, i have been looking for a nice e-liquid that tastes like the E-Lites that i started off on (ie something that actually tastes like a cig). Haven't found anything close yet.
what i have tried so far (in chronological order):
1. Deluxe tobacco from vape escape. This tasted a bit too sweet and nutty to me. Nothing like cigs but ok nonetheless.
2. Got some XO Supreme and XO RY44KK from Liberty flights. I opened them both within about 2 days of delivery. There were about 40 reviews for the Supreme, claiming it was a great tobacco for an all day vape. I found it DISGUSTING! There was a really overpowering liquourice/rosewater taste during the vape and as an aftertaste. I cant express how overpowering this was. The ry44kk was ok but a bit weak and sweet, still nothing like a cigarette. I have ended up mixing these 2 together but it still tastes too overpowering.
3. Got some more samples from Vape Eacape (Grizzwald's Golden Burginia, Grizzwald's Golden Leaf, Grizzwald's Juicy Pear and the standard Vape Escape Gold and Silveer).
Grizwalds golden burginia was better than the XO supreme, but still had that nasty liqourice/perfumey taste. Still waiting to try his Gold Leaf and Juicy Pear.
The Vape Escape Gold and Silver was quite nice (although a little harsh). The Gold and Silver is the closest that i have come to a ciggy taste yet. Its nice.
4. After some research, i am about to buy some of Triphammer's T&H Silver from Vape Escape, which has had great reviews.
My Questions to you guys:
1. can you guys tell me if you think that the others that i tried (particularly the XO Supreme and Golden Burginia) weren't steeped properly? I vaped the juices after 1 or 2 days of purchase. That liqourice perfume taste was so horrible and overpowering. I am surprised that the XO Supreme had such good reviews yet i found it so nasty - This makes me think that i didnt steep it enough.
2. If i put all these tobacco samples aside (particularly the XO Supreme/RY44KK mix, the Grizwald Golden Burginia and the Grizwald Gold Leaf) to steep, i dont really need to leave the tops off do i?
3. I use a seperate cartomizer for each liquid. Right now i have 5 on the go (one for the Supreme/RY4k mix, one for the RY4k, one for the Deluxe tobacco, one for the Golden Burginia and one for the Gold and Silver. If i leave the Supreme and Golden B to steep, I will leave the cartomizers to steep with them (as they are currently tainted with that perfume/liquourice taste). Will these cartomizers recover or will i have to use brand new carts in a week to test the newly steeped liquid?
Really appreciate your help guys. As many told me in the beginners section, it's all about trying samples until you're happy. For this reason, im not too bothered about all the carts im getting through because this is the upfront cost of finding a liquid that i like. I will let you know what the T&H silver and the Grizwald Golden leaf is like when i try them!!!
Many thanks!!!
