This one is a bit hard to rate for me. Overall it’s a good flavor but I feel it’s a bit different than the description.

I was expecting thick and rich custard with a touch of apple. Instead this is more apple focused. Fuji apples are pretty common in my house and this tastes pretty similar. The flavor is similar to apple juice in some respects but may be better explained and crispy sweet with a slight tartness. The apple aspect is the star here IMO. To me though it tastes like fresh apple cider with a Fuji apple twist. That apple flavor I mentioned previously but with a hearty spice at the end. Very crisp and fairly strong in flavor. The custard part is more of a light cream. I just don’t get that expected rich eggy custard type of flavor. I could say this is Apple Cider Milk or Baked Apple Cream and it would be just as accurate. I just don’t taste custard here.

Which is not to say this is in any way a bad flavor. It’s very good and well done. I just don’t see it matching the description and feel some might be disappointed if they really want that custard aspect. As it is I’d say it’s quite good and I have been enjoying it. I appreciate that the spice aspect is very well managed and doesn’t take over the flavor.

This is the best candy watermelon flavor I’ve tried. Comparisons given to watermelon gum, watermelon gushers, watermelon candy. I’ve had almost this exact flavor quite a few times in the past but there are always negatives along with it. It’s dry, the flavor drops off, it’s too sweet, it’s colored pink, etc. This is almost the perfect candy watermelon flavor.

With the comparisons above hopefully that gives you a good idea exactly what this tastes like. Because it is spot on. Artificial through and through but that flavor has childhood written all over it. I don’t get any fancy spins or twists put in there. Just candy watermelon flavor. It’s potent right from the first taste through the exhale. No dryness, no flavor drop off. I vaped this for 2 days straight on the weekend and never had flavor fatigue or coil issues. It’s as sweet as it should be without tasting like sweetener. It’s also pretty kind to the coils. I’m really surprised at how well done a simple flavor can be. If candy watermelon is your jam then this is where you need to be.

I put off trying this for quite a while. I don't do well with menthol or peach flavors. Trying to put bias aside it's not a bad flavor and is just above average.

Given my bias I will say the cooling aspect is very light and the peach is fairly mellow. Both aspects suit me personally but make for a lightly flavored vape overall. I barely get any cooling or menthol taste. A slight twinge on my tongue is all. Nothing in my throat or chest. The peach is pretty fresh tasting and less similar to the peach ring candy that I expected. The peach flavor is good and more naturally sweet than candy sweet. It's just very light in flavor.

It's a good flavor but as a whole not entirely accurate to the description. It is better than most peach ring flavors I've tried because it's not cloyingly sweet and artificial tasting. I think those looking for the frozen aspect will be a little disappointed.

This comes from the Just line which is implied to be mostly candied flavors. The description is strawberry punch which describes it simply but accurately. I was expecting a strawberry hard candy but there is more to it than that.

Initially this is a slightly sweet ripe strawberry flavor. Not as candy tasting as I expected. True to the punch name a mango flavor follows closely after. Mango is one of those flavors that's potent to me. Everyone tastes flavors differently but mango on my tongue is potent. The middle of this flavor is ripe mango with a strawberry aftertaste. There might be some really light touches of apple or pineapple but it's mostly mango and strawberry on my tongue. The mango drowns a lot out for me. The mango combined with strawberry gives an aftertaste of fruit punch on the exhale while a sweet strawberry flavor lingers a bit longer.

What sounds like a simple flavor is actually a bit more complex. I wouldn't say it's punch flavored throughout but mostly in the aftertaste. It's a crisp fresh fruity flavor that is not a candy flavor. Very tasty and well done.

Another decent flavor overall. The apple and kiwi are the most prominent. The apple comes across as more of an apple juice flavor which works well with the tartness of the kiwi. It's a juicy combination of flavors. The melon is most subtle at the end. It almost has a slight honeydew vibe to the watermelon but it's probably the apple and kiwi playing flavor tricks.

Overall a good flavor combination and well done. I usually shy away from apple flavors but this one is pretty nice.

I've never had a strawberry watermelon cupcake but I want to. I wasn't aware this was a thing but the juice sounded incredible.

Foremost this is a sweet juice. Described as a cupcake it leans a lot closer to a gum flavor to me. Along the likes of something you'd expect from Bubbalicious or one of those candy/gum companies. The strawberry and watermelon together are melded almost as one flavor. It's reminds me so much of a flavor you'd find in gum. They're sweet and sugary but don't taste like they don't deserve to be. Hopefully that makes sense. Sweet in a good way. But definitely sweeter than I expected going in. The cupcake part is less prominent than I expected. Some essences of icing and a creaminess to go along with it. Not much actual cake aspect though. Just mostly fruit and icing-like flavors. Regardless, it's very well done and very good. Probably one of the few candy or sweet flavors I've tried that doesn't taste bathed in sucralose. This will definitely satisfy any sweet tooth you might have while being kind to your coils as well.

Wow. This flavor is not only spot on Lemon Bar but it's phenomenally tasty.

Maybe slightly more mellow lemon than the real thing but very spot on. You have that baked gooey lemon sweetness in the middle that is the star of the show. Coupled with a slight crumbly crust flavor which puts this solidly in dessert and bakery territory. At the end you get a perfect dash of sweetness that tastes just like a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top. This is one of those flavors that has me imagining eating the actual dessert with every puff. The flavors are so harmoniously balanced between the baked lemon, brown crust, and powdered sugar. Definitely dessert, definitely accurate, and definitely delicious.

I'm not typically partial to lemon flavors but this is amazingly well balanced and delicious. One of the best lemon flavors I've tried. Just Wow.

This is an interesting take on the popular fruity cereal flavor. It's one of the better cereal flavors I've tried and ranks among my favorites.

The base of this flavor is more Fruit Loops than Captain Crunch to me but it has elements of both. Lots of citrus fruit punches of flavor initially but the back end is more cereal grain berry flavor. Slightly creamy on the exhale but the berry and citrus only mellow slightly. Where this differs from other similar flavors is the extra raspberry flavor. It's not very strong but it add a sweet berry flavor on the top at the first taste. It mellows the citrus a bit and amplifies the berry cereal aspect as well.

A solid cereal flavor overall. I've been burnt out on cereal flavors for some time but that little added raspberry made this cereal flavor interesting again and definitely vapeable.

I bought this sample in my most recent order. I feel like this flavor is pretty decent. What I was hoping for was a replica of the SOB juice you can buy at the store.

What I got was more of a strawberry orange flavor with a lot subtler banana than I knew I wanted. The banana just doesn’t complete the whole experience. The strawberry is good and the orange is a a bit artificial but not necessarily in a bad way. Just more of a sweet orange and less citrusy. Orange drink versus orange juice.

I’m not big on banana flavors but I wish there was more banana here to complete the experience. This is less the thick and kind of creamy breakfast drink I enjoy and more a fruity flavor on it's own.

It's kinda hard to rate more simple flavors. While simple this is quite good. I have a reaction to certain pineapple flavors that causes scratchy throat but this one has been good.

The pineapple here tastes more like the pineapple in a pina colada. It's a sweeter more subdued pineapple. Less in your face tart and citrusy. More mellow and almost creamy. With the flavor of the pineapple I don't get much salted flavor. It's probably contributing to the flavor as a whole and stands less on it's own. Or perhaps even tones down the citrus of the pineapple that I typically expect. The description states this is more of a grilled pineapple flavor, but even then it's not as potent.

This is one of the better pineapple flavors I've tried, simple as it maybe. The flavor reminds me of a few Dole Whip flavors I've tried but less creamy. I do like Pina colada's so that probably contributes to my enjoyment of this flavor.

This flavor surprised me a bit. Typically with passion fruit you get raspberry or pomegranate as well. This one is just passion fruit and that suits me rather well. I much prefer passion fruit on its own.

This actually tastes like it could be passion fruit tea. No extras or fruity punches. Just mellow and enjoyable passion fruit tea. It's well balanced between the flavors and not any sweeter than it should be. The tea flavor is pretty light overall but is closest to a simple black tea.

Overall a really solid and enjoyable flavor especially in warmer weather and worthy of being an ADV.

I bought this as a sample on my recent re-up of Strawberry Milk. I kinda quit tobacco flavors a while ago but have been curious to pick them back up. This reminds me why I stopped trying them.

Sweet tobacco doesn't really sound good to begin with. Tobacco isn't really supposed to be sweet unless it's paired with a fruit. The smell lends to the sweet tobacco description. The taste...well I'd most compare it to the flavor of a wet stale cigarette. It has this musty essence about it that doesn't suit me well. A large part of that is the coffee flavor that seems to be present. The same commonly used raw coffee flavor that's present in a lot of coffee flavors. Raw, unadulterated, black coffee. It's sort of bitter but tastes like a raw coffee bean does. That mixed with the tobacco I think makes up the wet mustiness of the flavor. The caramel and vanilla are very minor flavor additions far overshadowed by the coffee and tobacco. The result is a slightly bitter yet somehow slightly sweet rendition of a tobacco flavor akin to picking up a cigarette from last year you found in a basement.

That being said, if your taste buds are numb to tar from smoke or you're a recent quitter I think this might be a raw enough tobacco flavor for you to enjoy as you won't taste the bad parts as well as I probably do. To a recent quitter, this probably tastes pretty decently accurate to a smoke. It's not awful but I kinda want to quit vaping it ASAP.

Legend is another interesting flavor from Hometown Hero. Legend is a mix of banana and rum, or in my experience banana pudding and dark rum.

Initially the banana is sweet. A little too close to a Runt's style of banana flavoring. It's only quickly present on the first inhale but it's there. After that the banana develops into more of a banana pudding flavor. A more natural banana flavor that is creamy and thick. Full of flavor and less sweet. Only a slight amount of that initial sweetness carries over but it might be the rum aspect as well. The rum is mostly tasted after the inhale and in the aftertaste. It tastes more like a dark rum with less spices than a lighter sweeter rum. The two flavors work really well together. Thankfully the rum is more subdued than the banana is and IMO that definitely works in it's favor.

I've had rum flavors in the past that had the same intensity of of drinking coconut rum and it's just so overpowering. There is a nice balance here though and it might be one of the best rum flavors I've tired. Personally I really don't like that initial candy banana sweetness albeit it is brief. Overall this is a very solid flavor, and one you will likely really enjoy if banana pudding or banana cream is your typical forte.

Stormy is a bit of a strange flavor. Cucumber citrus soda is oddly specific, yet vague. The flavor is somewhere in between Fresca and Ramune soda.

The Cucumber aspect tastes pretty green like a cucumber rind but also has a light melon flavor as well. The predominant flavor seems to be lemon and lime soda. So up front you have a hint of green cucumber before the strong middle road of lemon and lime. On the exhale I swear I get light touches of pink grape fruit. There is a definite sour tartness to this flavor that reminds me a bit of grapefruit in the aftertaste. Something in here as well has a slight feel of carbonation and I sometimes get a light menthol flavor. Not the cooling but the flavor on menthol as an aftertaste. I don't think there is menthol as an ingredient in this flavor. It's just the way the flavors intertwine with each other.

I've been enjoying dripping this flavor, but it is an odd flavor. It's oddly cloudy as well which I think is common among citrus flavors. Stormy is a step out of my norm of flavors but it is an enjoyable flavor somewhere in the realm of Fresca and Ramune.

I was excited to try this flavor. I like Root Beer flavors but it's difficult to find good ones. Many seem to be too sweet or too spiced. This flavor isn't necessarily craft brew quality root beer but it's very much the middle ground of a good root beer float.

Wild Buffalo is on the sweeter side of root beer flavors. The root beer spices are there but the flavor reminds me of A&W out of a tap. Which you should try if you haven't. It's a flavorful yet sweet root beer flavor that has some touches of root beer barrel candy but not so much that I would say this is a candy root beer flavor. What balances it out is the creamy vanilla. The root beer flavor on it's own wouldn't work without it. The vanilla is nicely rich and very reminiscent of the ice cream in a root beer float.

As a whole this is very close to the flavor of a root beer float you'd get from A&W, Sonic, or wherever. It succeeds in accuracy to flavor description and is very enjoyable to ADV. I grew up going to A&W drive-ins for root beer floats so I appreciate the sweeter end of root beers in addition to the more gourmet craft root beers.

Holy Mango. This flavor has an intensity of 9 or 10. Just packed with flavor. The mango makes up most of it. The strawberry eases you in with a light sweetness until the mango barges onto your tongue like the Kool Aid man. The mango is an incredibly accurate mango flavor. Dripping with citrus tartness and flavor. Possibly the most accurate mango I've tried. This flavor is so potent that I have a hard time getting the salted aspect out of it.

This flavor is very natural tasting and more citrusy than sweet. Maybe the salted aspect is keeping the sweetness at Bay and allowing more natural and citrus flavors to show through? Either way it's a very good flavor.

This has to be the first eliquid line labeled salted anything that actually tastes salted. It's quite strange. I don't know if they pulled it off with saline or what.

Salted caramel is definitely the star here. The custard maintains a very buttery flavor throughout. This flavor is very rich yet more mellow than most custards. The description mentions brown sugar and butterscotch and I get a much stronger impression of butterscotch than custard alone. The salted caramel isn't quite as sweet as the real thing and it has that salt twinge to the flavor just ever so slightly. The butterscotch custard is deep and buttery but not heavy tasting.

Really this is more of a butterscotch flavor as a whole than custard. The salted caramel part is pretty spot on. The combination is solid and has a lot of flavor. It's a bit too rich for me to ADV but custards/butterscotch flavors were never my forte. If you like butterscotch this is the flavor for you.

This flavor was a nice surprise. Cinnamon flavors don’t usually agree with me and cause some throat irritation. Ultra is very smooth. It has a healthy dose of brown sugar cinnamon with a creamy background.

I feel like brown sugar is a bit more prevalent than cinnamon here. The cinnamon spiciness is much more mellow than I’ve come to expect but is still obviously present in the flavor. While this is a spiced dominant flavor the creamy aspect is what brings it all together. A very nice finish to a good flavor. It is similar to vanilla ice cream or a slightly sweet milk. Mellow but velvety and creamy.

It has been a while since I’ve tried any cinnamon style flavors but this reminds me of some of the best I tried back when I was trying horchata or cinnamon milk flavors. The hardest part for me is how general cinnamon flavors taste. It could be cinnamon roll, horchata, cinnamon milk, or cinnamon toast crunch. Maybe that’s just me. Either way this is another solid flavor and I’m happy to categorize it as one of very few spiced flavors that don’t irritate my lungs or sinuses.

Turbo is a pretty solid replication of a strawberry margarita. I’ve tried a few similar flavors and this one is the best so far. It’s does have some caveats though.

The strawberry is natural and somewhat sweet up front. It is a supplementary flavor to the lime though. While the strawberry flavor is tastesd first, the lime comes barging in right after and becomes the majority of the flavor. It’s a lime similar to the lime found in Placid which I love. It’s a strong crisp lime flavor that doesn’t have the astringency or that chemical cleaner sort of flavor. The lime should be the star as it’s the star in a margarita.

The replication is pretty solid but not quite perfect. I wish there was more tartness to the flavors and I wish the strawberry carried through a bit more. The exhale is a bit light on flavor and slightly dry. It’s the opposite of drinking a margarita where the aftertaste is full of sweet and tart sensations mingling around. Other than that I think this is a good bet for a strawberry margarita flavor. There are some things you just can't really replicate in e liquid and sour tartness seems to be one.

Apple has never been my flavor of choice although I love eating apples. Weird how that works. I wasn't sure about this flavor but it's awesome. All the important pitfalls were missed. It's not jolly rancher apple, there isn't an abundance of cinnamon, and it doesn't taste like a glazed donut.

The core of this flavor is a vibrant apple cider. Some weirdly delicious amalgamation of apple cider, apple juice, and the gooey innards of a Dutch apple pie. It's rich and savory while holding true to a baked apple flavor. There is some spice that adds to the cider and apple pie aspect but it's just the right balance. The spice isn't the star. It's that apple.

As for the funnel cake. Well no funnel cake flavor I've ever tried has made me say "yep thats funnel cake". It just doesn't have that unmistakable funnel cake flavor. However, similarly is does have a light sweet dough-like flavor in the background. Enough that this is unmistakably a bakery type of flavor. To me this tastes most similar to an apple fritter like you'd grab from a good donut shop. And by most similar I mean almost exactly.

This is a solid flavor from AECo and one definitely worth giving a shot. It's definitely up there in quality along side some of best apple flavors I've tried like $100 Apple Pie.
