Welcome to AAEC buddy

Welcome back Andy. Good to have you aboard. I read on many forums before joining, definitely the friendliest forum you'll find here. See you around the boards

Well I was about to do some reviews of the other Darkstar flavours I bought but since I am vaping this right now I thought I might as well put up a quick review.
Strength is 24mg and ratios are 60/40 PG/VG.
From the bottle it smells exactly like a blue pack of
Trebor Softmints. I have to say it is pretty spot on in that regard.
When vaping it is very enjoyable. I have found many liquids taste different to how they smell so I didn't expect this to be so good. On the inhale you definitely get the mint nice and strong, towards the back of the tongue you seem to get a nice cool menthol. On the tip of the tongue it is soft and sweet and it seems to roll over the tongue nicely. Have found a couple of friends menthols/mints I have tried to be a bit sharp and spicy. This is very smooth in comparison.
On the exhale the whole flavour seems come right across the palate. It is not exact but so so close to a real softmint. Hard to explain how but if your tastebuds are good you can definitely sense the artificial flavourings, however this doesn't make it a bad vape at all. I am finding this hasn't bothered me with this liquid (nor any to start with) but now my taste buds are settling a little I seem to be veering towards the natural/organic flavoured liquids. That said, I will be ordering a 30ml bottle of Softmint come payday. When I am buying I am really looking for the liquid to taste exactly as it describes and this is the first liquid I feel hits the mark. There is the slightest room for improvement, but I am fussy. Overall I feel it is excellent, and along with the other menthol I am using this is an everyday vape for me. Would happily puff it all day long. If you like your mints and you haven't given it a go, grab a taster bottle and do so

Fair play @yinyang, you make a very good point. As for the crux, that's where I think regulation is appropriate in a sense. It should ensure a quality of goods and services definitely. I just mean specifically the smaller liquid makers who make very well rated e-liquids. Bigger companies will handle the taxes, but what about those that are very passionate about it and simple can't afford to keep up? It's great that we wouldn't have to put up with horrible liquids yes, but would be ashame if a lot of the liquids you used suddenly disappeared. lobeydosser, I suppose I would in the end rather pay for quality and consistency, just opposed heavily to lining Westminster's band of thieves pockets.

sloppyvape - looking for med to high nic levels. 18-24mg would suit, 24mg is my usual just now. Even a few mls of low nic to get an idea flavour would be great though. Thanks for the shout mate
SmokeRainbow, I have considered this option several times, only issue is I don't have a dripper so would be difficult to sample so many small amounts. Will try get one sorted though and would happily get an order in with yourself.

I'm with @tubthumper on this one. It's wrong. Right enough it is a job, and that can be said in a number of ways that make it sound justified. The truth of the matter is that the workers are being paid in blood money. They are feeding their families on money made by killing, their livelihood comes at the cost of millions of peoples lives every year. Some people would say that's a bit extreme, i just see it as the truth. And as was said you don't feel sorry for the dealer who goes broke. That said I would still do it to feed my family if I had no other way, but I would still see it for what it is and I personally wouldn't feel great about it. I feel sorry for people losing jobs in any industry, absolutely. That is happening all across the uk economy though, and I am kinda glad that big tobacco are suffering. Think how many people have suffered at their hands and it puts it in perspective. The workers will hopefully find jobs as new industries grow and flourish. The company and it's board of directors deserve all they get... I alwayd wonder how many of them use the products they produce?
