Fresh Review - I’m kind of split on this one. I like the peach flavor in it. I’ll be clear when saying that it’s not the most realistic peach flavor that I’ve ever tried, but I like the taste of this one. Not super realistic, but not that weird semi-sour peach rings flavor you get a lot of the time either. I’m just not getting very much watermelon, and I feel like that should be the primary flavor of this one based on the description. It’s not bad. It’s not unpleasant. I’m not even getting a lot of throat hit like I’ve seen mentioned in other reviews. It’s a little throaty, but not any more than other peach juices to me. I just end up wanting more watermelon out of this. For posterity, I get mostly sweetness on the inhale without much of a discernable flavor. The exhale initially pops with a light watermelon flavor, but it’s buried behind the peach flavor very, very quickly. The peach flavor dominates the rest of the exhale and finish without the watermelon ever showing its face again. Like I said, not really a bad juice, just not what I expected or wanted out of this profile.

Aged Review - No real notable change in this one either. I feel like this flavor combination could work really well, and I don’t see a lot of other vendors trying it, this just feels slightly off to me. Like I said in the fresh review, this juice is not unpleasant. This just is not unvapable. It’s just…missing something. For my money, the thing that it’s missing is a heavier presence from the watermelon flavor, although I feel like this juice could also benefit from another flavoring to really make something unique…maybe a black currant or a citrus of some sort. The inhale and exhale are identical to the fresh review, so mostly sweetness on the inhale with a quick burst of watermelon on the start of the exhale before it is buried behind the peach flavoring. Not a bad juice, just not one that I’d define as special or remarkable either.

Fresh Review - Straight away I feel like this juice is pretty close to the description, although I’m not really getting a ton of custard on the inhale. I feel like I’m getting a sweet strawberry flavor on the inhale, with just a touch of raspberry. The exhale initially pops with the tartness of blackberry and raspberry, but is smoothed over with a nice light custard. This one was a bit fresher than the others, and I know that custards tend to mature some with age, so I’m interested to see where this juice is in about a month. My understanding from Level Up is that this juice is still being tweaked a bit, and I can definitely tell based on some of the other reviews I’ve seen. Where others have stated that the berries are hard to distinguish, I didn’t have much of a problem with that in this version of the juice. The only berry that felt muted to me was strawberry, but I could definitely taste raspberry and blackberry distinctly.

Aged Review - Yeah, this is much closer to the description with some age. The custard has strengthened, and is quite rich. Not quite as sweet as I generally like my custard flavorings, but the strawberry seems to work well to assist with that. The juice is very similar to a fresh bottle as far as everything other than the custard goes. The only real change of note is that the custard as upped its intensity by quite a bit. The inhale is mostly the rich creaminess of the custard with a backing of sweet strawberry. The exhale pops with raspberry before the strawberry and custard poke their heads back in for the finish. A nice mix of the three on the linger. Not an overwhelming flavor pattern, and I think I’d honestly like this more if I liked raspberry a bit better, so if you like raspberry this may be worth checking out.

Fresh Review - I’m probably not the best source for a review on this one, as I generally just don’t care for raspberries, whether that be in e-liquid or fruit form. There’s just an aftertaste to raspberries that I don’t particularly care for. With that said, this one isn’t bad. It doesn’t wow me like Dual-wield or God (a la) Mode, but it’s definitely not the worst raspberry based juice I’ve tried. The powdered sugar is just a little heavy for my preference, but it does a good job in covering the huge wave of tart that usually accompanies raspberry flavoring. I get mostly powdered sugar on the inhale, with the berry creeping in near the finish of the inhale. The exhale is pretty much reversed, more berry than sugar, but both play a role. I’m left with a bit of lingering raspberry on the finish. This is definitely a sweet juice. I’m having trouble finding the cream taste on the finish, but it’s definitely very smooth, so that may serve more as an element to smooth the juice out than to make it a rich, creamy flavor. Overall, not bad. Not my thing, but pretty decent for a raspberry vape.

Aged Review - It feels like the flavor intensity on this juice has gone down pretty substantially with time. The flavor combination itself is very reminiscent of a fresh bottle, just quite a bit lighter. The raspberry has definitely lost some of its punch. If I’m being honest, that works well for me because I’m not a raspberry fan to begin with, but if you bought this juice based on the raspberry, you might prefer this juice straight out of the mailbox. I still get the sweetness and light flavor of the powdered sugar on the inhale, with just a touch of the berry. The exhale is still mostly raspberry with the sweetness of the sugar making itself known near the midpoint of the exhale. Pretty tasty for a raspberry juice, maybe my favorite to date, but that’s honestly not saying a lot since I dislike raspberry so much. If you like sweet raspberry flavors, give this one a try.

Fresh Review - I really like the taste of this one. I’m not usually all that into pear vapes unless they have citrus in them, because pear just feels like a somewhat bland and light flavor profile to me. This one is very atypical of the profile, though. The taste of the pear on the inhale and the exhale is so different based on the coconut on the exhale that it almost tricks me into thinking there are two different pear flavorings in here. The pear I get on the inhale is not your standard sweet or creamy pear, it’s tart and bright. It’s smoothed out by a really good honey flavor. I’ve only found one or two vendors that make honey juices that I really like, but this one tastes really good, albeit a bit light. Mostly just serves to take some of the bite out of the pear. The exhale is more pear, but it’s lightened by a sweet coconut flavor that mixes in effortlessly. The finish is a sweet and slightly tart pear and coconut mix. I like this one a lot more than I expected to.

Aged Review - No change of note to this one. Still the same juice that it was the day I pulled it out of the mailbox. I really end up liking this juice a lot more than I thought I would. I generally hesitate to order coconut or pear juices unless they are mixed with something else that I’m really interested in trying, but this one turns out really nice. If you like sweet fruity juices, and are interested in a slightly tart pear, I’d throw a recommendation toward this juice.

Fresh Review - I’ve been searching for a good cherry limeade flavor. While this isn’t exactly what I’m looking for, it fits the profile closer than any other lemon or lime juice I’ve tried up to this point. You get a very nice citrus mix on this that is sweetened up by the berry, but not overwhelmed by it. The juice is a really nice mix of sweet and tart. I find myself wondering if more berry would improve this juice even more, but I also fear that it would ruin the citrus aspect to it, which I feel is just right. I get pretty much the same taste on both inhale and exhale and it’s a wonderful mix of lemon and lime with the sweetness of the berry to back it up, but not much berry flavor. The exhale may have a bit more lime than the inhale. Overall, this is a really good one, and one that I’ll more than likely be back for. Can’t wait to see how much this changes with a month, if at all.

Aged Review - Not a ton of change here. I feel like the lemon has settled just a bit because this feels just a little more focused on the lime than I remember. The berry is still very hidden for me, and feels like it is mostly used to keep the citrus from being too tart or too harsh overall. This is a really excellent juice, and probably my favorite limeade juice to date. I really find myself wishing they would have used cherry instead of strawberry here, but the berry in this is so light that I may just try to find a good cherry juice or flavoring that I can add to this to get the cherry limeade juice I’ve been looking for. Make no mistake about what I’m saying, this juice is great by itself, just as it is, but damn if it doesn’t make me want a good cherry limeade juice even more than I did before. Very tasty. Recommended to citrus fans.

Fresh Review - This is the one that I was probably looking most forward to trying. I love a rich, creamy vanilla custard-esque juice. I really end up liking this one quite a lot. Probably not quite as much as I like Dual-wield, but close. I get mostly sweet, creamy vanilla on the inhale, with a light caramel backing it up. The exhale is where this juice really shines. For the exhale I start off with the initial burst of caramelized sugar which is rich and dark tasting, but it eases its way behind more of the creamy vanilla and smooth caramel as the exhale finishes. I’m left with that rich vanilla custard-like flavor on the finish, and it lingers for quite a while on the tongue. I wouldn’t define this as a light juice, but it’s not obnoxiously sweet either. It really does come off tasting a lot like crème brulee. My wife is in love with this juice. Probably a Top 5 juice for her. Not quite willing to go that far myself, but it is really good.

Aged Review - Yeah, so I haven’t tried a ton of different crème brulee juices, but this is probably the closest representation to actual crème brulee of the ones that I have tried. The only thing it feels like this is missing is that slightly burnt/bitter taste that you get from the torched sugar on the real thing. No major changes to this juice with time either. The vanilla may be just a touch creamier, but it’s hard to say for sure because the caramelized sugar darkens the whole thing up pretty quickly. Definitely a tasty juice, and if my wife has her way, this is one that we’ll be reordering in the future.

Fresh Review - I have to agree with valfyre that this juice is a bit finicky about wattage/heat. This is definitely a low temperature/low wattage juice. On my Magma, with a .5 ohm twisted coil I like it at about 30 watts. At that wattage this is a really tasty juice, and I get a good mix of the elements in the description. A nice apple/cinnamon mix on the inhale, with the dominance leaning more towards the cinnamon for me. The apple does pop at the start of the inhale, but the cinnamon takes over pretty quickly. I don’t get the waffle until the early exhale, but this is a pretty good waffle flavor to me. Ends up reminding me a lot of the Gremlin Juice waffle flavoring. The exhale is mostly sweet apple, but I do get just a bit of vanilla without a ton of creaminess. I also get another little burst of cinnamon on the finish that wraps it up and leaves a sweet and spiced flavor on my tongue.

Aged Review - This seems to meld a bit better with some time. Still a juice that changes quite a bit depending on your wattage/heat, but I feel like there’s a better balance regardless of wattage on an aged bottle. I still end up preferring this on a low wattage, because for me, that’s where the flavor mixes best. At that wattage, I really get a good taste of the waffle and vanilla. I still end up wanting a bit more cream on this to get more of the ice cream element, but the vanilla is very tasty. For the most part, this is an apple/cinnamon juice to me. The cinnamon takes over a bit the higher you take the wattage. Apple/cinnamon fans should give this one a try.

Fresh Review - I really end up liking this quite a bit. This is one of my very few experience with juice that includes alcohol flavoring. It’s not that I necessarily have anything against the idea of it, it’s just that I didn’t think it would be well received by my tastebuds. Well, I was incorrect, at least with this one. This is just such a unique juice. Vastly different than anything else I’ve tried up to this point.

On the inhale I get the poached pear right up front. The pear in this is nice and light and sweet, but not obnoxiously so. It’s sweet, but spicy with what I think is probably a small amount of cinnamon and nutmeg. Before your palate can get used to that the brandy pokes its head into the mix. It’s a very distinct flavor, and if you haven’t had brandy before, it’s kind of hard to describe. It’s slightly sour, but mostly sweet and it mixes with the pear very well. The exhale I get an initial burst of the brandy that quickly subsides behind the almond crumble and the creaminess of the melted ice cream. This almond is present but not so much so that it hides the rest of the flavor. The finish of the exhale is just a bit dry for my liking, but I say that about every nutty juice, so that’s probably just me. Overall, this is a unique juice that really changes my perspective on alcohol flavoring in juices. Probably not something I’d vape all the time, but definitely a nice change of pace. Can’t wait to see if this one changes with time.

Aged Review - This one has changed a lot. The brandy has definitely settled some. I’m not getting that same pop from the brandy that I was on a fresh bottle. It’s still there, but it’s much lighter. The almond crumble seems to have really strengthened in an aged bottle. So, this is a little bit dryer than I remember. While this was a strong mix of unique flavors on a fresh bottle, it seems much more focused on the almond crumble with time. So, you get a lot more nuttiness and pastry to this than you did on a fresh bottle, with the pear, brandy and spices taking more of a backseat. It’s not bad, it’s just not as good as I remember.

Don’t take that the wrong way. I still think this is a fine juice, and one of the more unique flavor combinations I’ve tried in recent memory. I just prefer this in a fresh bottle greatly. The inhale/exhale breakdown in this is very similar to that of a fresh bottle, just that the almond and pasty have strengthened whereas everything else appears to have weakened. Some people, especially those that like an almond cookie-like flavor may enjoy this more with some age. For me, I prefer it fresh, so if I order this again moving forward, it’s going to be a small bottle juice for me so I can get through it before it ages too much.

This is another one a friend gave me for review. I’m fairly certain that this is one that I would not have ordered otherwise. I saw the honeydew in the image on the website and said “Nope!” So when I saw this in the care package that I received, I was excited to try a juice I wouldn’t have tried otherwise, but horrified of a strong honeydew flavor.

Imagine my surprise when the melon in this actually reminds me a lot more of cantaloupe than honeydew. I’m honestly not detecting anything that I would identify as honeydew melon, at least compared to all the honeydew juices I’ve had previously. So, if there is honeydew in this, it is super light and very, very balanced. I really do believe it is cantaloupe though, or maybe a mix of the two with cantaloupe more present for my taste buds. The strawberry in this is really nice, but a bit lighter than I expected. I’d put it closer to the realistic side than the candy/artificial side. I get what I think is the tartness of the berry, but that may also be the champagne working its way into the late inhale. Speaking of the champagne, this is a pretty good representation. The sweetness of the melon and berry mix keep it from being overly dry, but you definitely get the lightly bitter/sour bite from it.

As far as the inhale/exhale breakdown goes, I get mostly melon on the inhale with the strawberry peeking its head in near the finish. The exhale starts with mostly berry, but the champagne starts to come through at about the midpoint and works to leave a really refreshing berry/champagne mixture on the tongue for the finish. Probably not a reorder for me, because I prefer other ADK juices, but this is definitely a lot better than I expected it to be. Light. Smooth. Refreshing. If you’re into champagne, and you haven’t reached the point of being tired of strawberry flavors, I’d definitely recommend checking this one out.

This is another really interesting juice from the folks at Keystone Vapor. Again, this is one that a friend sent out for me to review, so I can't give a fresh review at this time.

This juice smells crazy good. The smell of this reminds me a lot of a sugar powder candy, like pixy sticks or fun dip. I can smell the three different fruit flavors from the description, with grape being the most prominent. As for the taste, I end up with mostly grape and menthol. I might be tasting hints of raspberry every once in a while, but I don't believe I'm tasting any strawberry. The grape in this is really, really sweet. It definitely falls on the candy side of things, as opposed to a natural grape flavor. As far as comparisons go, I would say this is somewhere close to a grape jolly rancher, but just a bit sweeter. I'm not getting enough raspberry or strawberry to have notes on the flavors there, but the menthol in this is pretty good. It's not one of those overwhelming smacks to the mouth with menthol, but the menthol is very present. I can feel the cooling sensation on the inhale and exhale. Seems like a good amount.

For the inhale/exhale breakdown, I would say that on the inhale the first thing I notice is that grape flavor and the coolness of the menthol. As the inhale finishes I start tasting menthol, but it seems fairly light on the inhale. The exhale is a blast of that grape flavor with a fairly strong menthol backdrop. At higher wattages the exhale seems more focused on the grape. At lower wattages, I would say it's more focused on the menthol. The linger is all grape, and again, it's very sweet. This doesn't likely end up being a reorder for me, because it's sweeter than I generally like and there are other fruit/menthol combinations out there that I like much better, but if you're into sweet, candy style fruits and menthol together, this might rock your world.

Fresh Review - I was really looking forward to giving this a try. I’m all about citrus juices, and most of the time a lemonade juice is very appealing to me. I’m not huge on raspberry, but I feel like a really good lemonade could overcome that.

I don’t think this will end up being my favorite lemonade juice to date, but it’s not too bad. It’s a lot lighter than I’ve come to expect from lemon/citrus juices recently. There’s almost no bite to the lemon, so it falls on the more sweetened side of things than a tart realistic lemon. The raspberry is artificial tasting to me, but I haven’t found a raspberry flavor that really breaks that barrier for me. I’d say this is pretty evenly focused between the two flavors. Maybe a little bit of emphasis on the lemon, but not by a lot.

On the inhale I get mostly lemon and sweetness, but it’s quite light. On the exhale the raspberry shows up early to blend in with the lemon. At about the midpoint of the exhale the raspberry pretty much takes over, but the lemon shows back up near the finish, which I find prevents that weird raspberry aftertaste you get with some flavorings. Not bad, just a lot lighter than I expected. I’m curious to see how this does with time, as I know lemon tends to fade.

Aged Review - Just a little change on this one. The lemon did fade a bit, as expected, which puts more emphasis on the berry on both the inhale and the exhale. Otherwise, it’s very similar to a fresh bottle. I’ve played around with the wattage a bit on this one, and I find that the lemon is a bit more present at higher wattage/temp whereas the raspberry tends to shine at lower wattages and temperatures. I wouldn’t call this a mind blowing juice by any means, but not a bad attempt at a raspberry lemonade. Pretty average. I would think that this could be improved with a bit more of a citrus bite. Maybe some malic acid to make this a bit sour and a bit less sweet and this could be a really decent juice. I end up preferring it fresh when the lemon stood out a bit more.

Fresh Review - I’m going to have a hard time giving this one a clear review, as there is some flavoring in here (I think maybe a roasted peanut) that is really weird tasting to me. It almost puts off a taste like burnt popcorn smells. One of the stranger tasting flavors I’ve had the experience of trying. The banana in this tastes overly ripe to me, so it ends up being really, really sweet, but not sweet enough to cover the weird burnt popcorn flavor. I’m not really getting much of any whipped cream or notable custard, but I think that peanut flavoring is really just overpowering it for me on a fresh bottle.

I get that weird peanut/burnt popcorn flavor on the inhale and creeping into the exhale where it is met by a really strong, really sweet banana flavor. Not really super artificial tasting as far as the banana goes, it’s just very, very sweet like a banana that is mostly brown and on the verge of being too ripe to eat. The finish and the lingering aftertaste is a mixture of that banana and peanut flavor. I really don’t care for this one at all. We’ll see if time makes this any better.

Aged Review - In reading p00pb0t’s review of this juice today, I see that he mentions that this tastes like a dark roast coffee. I would have never put that connection together (probably because I just don’t drink a lot of coffee), but I can see that comparison and I think he’s tasting coffee where I’m tasting burnt popcorn. Unfortunately, I really just don’t have much to add to this review with age. It tastes about the same as day one to me, and I’m just not able to get over that weird flavor. I’m also left wishing that I could taste the custard or whipped cream from the description, as I think that might be a saving grace for this juice. As is, I get that weird peanut/burnt popcorn flavor and an overly ripe banana without much of anything else to it. I really just don’t care for this one at all.

Fresh Review - This is a pretty decent little mix. The orange in this isn’t what I would call super realistic, and it doesn’t pack the bite of a good citrus juice, but it does taste good. It’s reminds me a lot of the orange you would get in an orange hard candy. That said, it’s actually a little lighter than I want it to be in this. There are a lot of competing flavors in here and I feel like the orange can pretty quickly lose its place behind the cream and the butter rum. The butter rum here really reminds me a lot of butter rum lifesavers. I really like the taste of it, but it tends to dominate the juice upon continued vaping.

On a fresh coil I get a sweet orange cream on the front that leans heavier on the cream side than the orange side. As you exhale you get just a little taste of the orange cream before the butter rum takes over and dominates through the remainder of the exhale. Mostly butter rum and sweetness on the finish. Definitely a candy juice in my opinion, but it’s tasty.

Aged Review - Over the course of aging the orange got lighter and lighter on this. Now at a couple months old the orange is really hard to find. I have come to expect citrus flavors to fall off some with time, but this really fell off. Makes me think that the butter rum really just overpowers it now. The orange was light on the inhale before, but now the inhale is mostly creaminess that turns into the butter rum flavor on the exhale. It’s still pretty tasty as far as the overall flavor goes, it’s just way more focused on the butter rum with age. I would define this more as a creamy butter rum candy flavor after aging. Tasty for what it is, but I wish the orange were more present.

Fresh Review - Everyone knows about my love for blueberry juices, so when reading over the descriptions of these juices, this is one that I thought I might really like a lot. I’ll say straight away that the blueberry in this is just a bit more artificial tasting than I generally like. This juice also packs the punch of throat hit that I’ve come to expect in peach flavored juices. That said, it’s not a bad flavor overall. The peach in this tastes pretty good. Not ultra-realistic, but not that weird, semi-sour peach rings flavor you get a lot of the time either. Reminds me of the flavor you’d get from a peach dum dum. The strawberry is kind of hit and miss. I’m only getting it very, very lightly on the exhale near the finish.

I get mostly peach with a bit of blueberry mixed on the inhale. The exhale seems to reverse the prominence on those flavors so that the blueberry is more present than the peach. Hints of strawberry on the finish and linger, but mostly peach and blueberry. Not bad. I’m not a huge fan of the blueberry flavoring in this, and the peach is pretty rough on the throat, but the flavor itself isn’t bad.

Aged Review - Not a lot of change here. I think the peach may have settled just a bit because it isn’t quite a throaty as I remember before. The strawberry may be slightly more present in the exhale than before, but otherwise about a mirror representation of the fresh tasting. Not bad, a little better now with less throat hit, but still just not to my taste.

Fresh Review - The strawberry is very much forefront here. It’s a pretty decent strawberry flavoring that leans more toward the candy side of things. I’m getting blueberry, but again it ends up tasting kind of artificial to me. I just don’t think I’m a big fan of this particular blueberry flavoring, or perhaps my blueberry hunt has turned me into a bit of a blueberry snob, but this particular one just rubs my taste buds the wrong way. The custard here doesn’t really taste all that custardy to me. It’s not quite as bland as a pudding, but it doesn’t have the eggy flavor or richness that I’ve come to expect from a good custard flavor. I’d say this closer resembles a heavy cream, both in taste and sweetness level. I’m usually not a big fan of graham, but I’m not finding much of it here. Seems like my coil has to be pretty warm from chain vaping to find it and even then it is very light.

Ultimately this is mostly strawberry on the front with a heavy cream backing. The exhale is more cream with hints of strawberry and that blueberry flavoring that I’m not crazy about. The finish is a mix of strawberry and cream. Not bad, but probably not a reorder for me. We’ll see if time makes any difference.

Aged Review - This one actually changed quite a bit with time. It feels like the cream has really taken over this juice. The blueberry is kind of hard to find on an aged bottle, where it felt like it was a pretty big player on the exhale of a fresh bottle. This has become pretty close to what I expect out of a strawberries and cream juice, but the cream on this still feels like it’s missing something to give it that extra umph that you want in a flavor like this. It’s sweet, but it’s kind of milky and bland. I feel like this juice could benefit from some added vanilla to make it a bit less milky. Not a bad tasting juice, but it really misses the profile here in my opinion. This needs to be heavier to be a custard juice.

This was sent out to me a while back by a friend, and I really regret the fact that I’m just now getting around to it. If ADK keeps this one around, this is definitely one that I’ll be back around to do a fresh review for some day. This is a really excellent tasting juice, and one of my favorite watermelon based juices; way up there with Estival by Cloud Alchemist.

I get a really nice mix of watermelon and guava here that hits the spot for a semi-tropical flavor profile for me. There is definitely a berry medley in here as well, but as far as main contributing elements, I consider this a watermelon/guava juice. The watermelon in this isn’t exactly what I would call super, duper realistic, but it’s good nonetheless. Sweet and fruity without ever leaning too far towards the watermelon hard candy flavor that goes around a lot. The guava in this is really good. Reminds me a lot of Jungle by Bombies, or I might have said the reverse had I tried this juice sooner. The berries are a bit difficult for me to distinguish, but they feel mostly like a sweetening agent to complement the watermelon and guava to me.

I get mostly watermelon on the inhale. The exhale starts with more watermelon, but quickly mixes in with that really nice guava flavor that simmers the sweetness. I get a nice mixture of the two for most of the exhale until right near the finish when the berries poke their heads in and sweeten up the finish to leave a nice, sweet, fruity aftertaste. Overall, I really enjoy this juice and I look forward to picking some up on my next purchase with Adirondack.

This is the last of the currently available Centerfold lineup that I hadn’t tried (although I hear new juices are coming soon to the lineup). Pumpkin really isn’t my thing, so I probably never would have purchased this juice on my own. This ends up coming from a friend who insisted that I try it, so this is another one with no fresh review for now.

It’s a really interesting juice. It still doesn’t end up being my thing, but this did end up surprising me quite a bit. My wife is really into pumpkin spiced things, so I’ve had a few pumpkin spice juices, and for me, the spice almost always overpowers every other aspect of the juice. So, you try a pumpkin spice latte juice and you end up just tasting the spice and no coffee. Or you try a pumpkin pie juice and it ends up just tasting like pumpkin spice and you don’t get the crust or sweetness of the pie. Not the case here with BB. I would say that this is an overall lighter juice than I like, but the benefit of that is that the pumpkin spice doesn’t overwhelm everything else. I actually taste pumpkin in this without the spice and that’s fantastic. I really like wump’s description of this as carrot cake with pumpkin instead of carrot. That is very accurate, but I would also add that this isn’t face smashingly sweet or thick like you might expect from a dessert/cake juice.

For me, I get a rich creaminess on the inhale with hints of pumpkin. On the exhale I get more of that pumpkin with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. I don’t believe there is a bakery flavor in here, but it surprises me so much how close this ends up tasting to a pumpkin scone with a really light cream cheese frosting. The ratio of cream cheese in this is really nice, because a lot of times you end up with a really heavy juice when that particular flavoring is used, but not here. It’s mixed excellently with the cream and pumpkin to achieve a nice, light yet flavorful dessert vape. This juice is ridiculously smooth as well. No notable throat hit to this. This still doesn’t end up being my thing, because I’m just not crazy about pumpkin, but of the pumpkin flavors I’ve tried, this is the best. Expertly mixed.

This is another that I’ll come back to someday to add a fresh review for. Another gift from a friend, and I’ve been really looking forward to trying this one out. Sammie is probably my favorite cereal vape out there, so I was really excited to see what Centerfold had done with Darling.

Being as it was described as a creamy strawberry cereal, I didn’t know if they were going to expand on Sammie, or if this would be a completely different juice. For me, this ends up tasting an awful lot like Sammie. You really get the Sammie base to this one. The inhale and early exhale taste a lot like a slightly less creamy Sammie. You get that froot loops flavor to it with the lemon standing out just a little more than the other fruits. As the exhale hits about the midpoint, you start getting the creaminess from the description along with a light, but very good strawberry flavor. I get the strawberry most on the finish of the exhale and the lingering aftertaste.

An interesting juice, but I think I end up liking Sammie better, as it seems to work better against the dryness of that fruit loop flavor. If Sammie is a bowl of froot loops in milk, Darling (to me) is like a bowl of fruit loops in a really high quality strawberry milk, perhaps with some sliced up strawberry pieces to add to the realism of the berry. Overall, a pretty good juice.

I was lucky enough to have a friend send me some of this to review, so no fresh review on this one yet. The idea of orange with a cinnamon roll both intrigued me and horrified me a bit. Mostly because a lot of the orange flavors that I’ve tried haven’t been very good. I’ll say straight away, don’t let the orange in the description of this one scare you away from trying it. The orange is REALLY light for me on this, although citrus juice are usually at their most potent fresh, so that may be a symptom of the age and the orange may be more present in a fresh bottle.

On an aged bottle, I get what I feel may be the closest actual representation that I’ve found for a cinnamon roll. Most of the cinnamon roll juices I’ve tried in the past have been very, very doughy. There is definitely a bakery flavor to this, but it isn’t that flat, heavy, raw dough taste you get sometimes. I’d say this is actually closer to a danish. The cinnamon feels perfect in this. Definitely a bakery style cinnamon as opposed to a red hot cinnamon. Not overly powerful so that it consumes the juice. I’d say the focus is more on the pastry than it is the cinnamon. The icing to this is really nice as well. Sweet enough to pull off the glaze taste, but enhanced with a really light orange zest flavor. In my opinion, the orange is just used to keep the icing from getting too sweet, which was a solid choice that makes this different from other cinnamon roll juices.

I get the pastry mostly on the inhale with a really light presence from the cinnamon. The exhale initially pops with the cinnamon, but it quickly melts away behind the sweetness of the icing and more of that pastry flavor. The finish is where the orange comes into play, and for me it just blocks the sweet aftertaste that you might expect from the icing flavoring so that you’re left with a more complex flavor on the tongue as the exhale finishes. Pretty good! Probably not an ADV for me because I like my juices just a bit more powerful in flavoring, where this one is a bit lighter than I like. This is definitely one that I’ll pick up in a small bottle on my next order so I can check it out fresh and see if that orange is any different.

Fresh Review - I almost didn’t order this one based on my past experience with Kiss The Ring, but, I figured this is the only flavor of the new Bombies lineup that I haven’t tried, so I may as well give it a shot. Unfortunately, the custard in this ends up tasting very similar to the custard in Kiss The Ring for me, so the same complaints apply. It’s pretty bland yet overpowering with very little sweetness to back it up. The good news is that it seems to work a little better for this profile. I can taste the strawberries on this one, but only on the very finish of the exhale. I really like the smell of this one, and I’m certain that some age will improve this, but we’ll have to see how much. I’m not sure if this specific custard flavoring that Bombies uses just disagrees with me, or what, but I’ve searched around with wattage, I’ve messed with my airflow and it always just ends up very bland and milky for me. We’ll see how some age treats this one.

Aged Review - Age has treated this one better, but I can still say pretty definitively that this custard flavoring just isn’t for me. It has sweetened up a bit with time, however, so it’s not quite as bland as it was on a fresh bottle. Still pretty milky to my taste buds, but there’s some sweetness there to back it up. The strawberry in this actually seems pretty good. I definitely get the mixture that they’re talking about where there’s some sweet candied tasting strawberry and a hint of the berry tartness like you’d expect from a fresh strawberry, but man, that custard just kills it for me. Fortunately enough, the strawberry works better for this one than the ‘nana Cream base does for Kiss The Ring, at least for me, so the score will reflect that.
