juice sampler box - the juice strikes back

StickyIcky

Folks here's the "lest we never forget Sir Digsby memorial juice parcel" revival thread, aka The Juice Strikes Back.

We've taken 13 names but the list has now been closed. We won't be taking any more new names. Sorry. In all likelyhood there will be another list started but that won't be until several weeks away, so you'll have to be patient and come back and check later, there's no mailing list or anything like that, just first come first served.

Please check this google spreadsheet to view the current status of the Juice Parcel

I will update any relevant info in this document. So if you ever need to check where the parcel is at or anything like that, the info should be in the doc above.
In the link below you can rate the juices you've sampled. Please do this once you've sampled the juices, it will be helpful for people browsing this forum to find interesting juices to buy in the future.

Juice Review Form - courtesy of quintron

* Would be cool if you throw in another bottle of juice so overall parcel juices don't deplete over time
* Postage for each parcel to the next person works out around €6.50 There are two parcels in total so being on this list will cost you approx €13 in total postage costs
* Make sure juices are nicely packaged so if a bottle cap comes loose in transit it doesn't soak all other bottles (parcels have juices in several ziplock bags already so no problem there)

Nice one. Count me in. Will PM deets. Cheers.

grindle

At some point in the not-too-distant future I'll add a squadron of tobacco vapes to this.

SSDC must proclaim his love for SS-IM before receiving it.

redkid

Yea I'm in also. Sound.

artyeva

is it alright if i get in on this one too? i was hoping to get to try a few tobaccos but the sampler box i got in the last thread was mostly fruity, which i seem to have gone off entirely.

grindle

I'll pansy the tobaccos I'm making for this to 16mg so no-one whinges in a big pansy-whinge style.

StickyIcky

redkid pm sent for your details

arteva already got your details but got your pm with your details again anyways, you're so efficient.

grindle does this mean you're in imma pm you now to check

grindle

Yarrrr. Should be a few days before my juices are flowing though.

StickyIcky

I'm sure it will be a few days (or weeks even) before this 2nd round of juices is ready to go around.

Thecageyone

Add me in, will pm details asap

rickyjb

Is that too many or can I be in too?

That's done there stick

Thecageyone

Just checked out the google form for reviewing, nicely done this will be fun.

BrendanD

Count me in PM sent

Thecageyone

Brendan can confirm I wrap stuff pretty well how'd you get on with that lot?

meoklmrk91

Also so count me in, just a quick question, how long do we get to hold on the parcel, a week or so? Because if there are that many juices a couple of days won't be enough . Firing off a PM now.

Thecageyone

Good question! I reckon I'll put my usual juices on hold once I get the parcel, and sample the box for that day or two so I'm not overwhelmed by flavours. I've enough tanks and cartos and clearos to have a few on the go anytime though

StickyIcky

Few days, a week. Best thing is to get a rebuildable atomiser or two (and wick and wire) and build a few coils. Try some juice, dry burn it to clean it off, then try another. Methol flavour lingers (as I discovered) so try and build your coil before trying another juice in it.

Chime in here if I'm wrong here guys but that's the best way I look at trying so many juices.

Thecageyone

That's what I might just do. Now that I can build a half decent coil - will make up a few and do just that. I have 3 drip-attys, they will be perfect for this. Because it seems once you get them right, the flavour is much better than clearos.

quintron

I'll be using a 306 for anything potentially dodge (for my tastes) then on to the IGO or the Spiral! while I soak the 306 overnight or something. The missus will go mad. Can't wait!

Thecageyone

hehe, my missus is fit to crack with me. Keep saying "once you get into anything, you get obsessed" - sure ya could be worse. She vapes herself, we kicked the dirty habit together. But she's much more casual. I just like to research and look up on anything I get into. End up watching countless hours of youtube vids and reading articles and visiting forums ... sure why not. Beats watching tv.

I felt like my vape-mail was making her envious so I got her some stuff too. Today I set her up with a lovely pink ego twist, with the 'vanity ring' as some call it, and a pink-ish vivi nova with a purple drip tip and filled it with her fav menthol.

Not sure who was happier

SicklySweet

Me again please if allowed PM you now anyway

Nonamigo

Im in:)
PM sent

Darkginger

Count me in if there's room please! PMed details to Sticky already.

BrendanD

Half way through the coffee really like that, other ones i liked was the orange de coco ? surprisingly did not like the bandanna one, and i thought that would be rigt up my street ;-)

Thecageyone

Orange de sangre? I was recommended that, and seen a few say they love it. Including the usual reviewers. But I wasn't into it, too mi-wadi-ish for me - think that was the dearest of the pack too. Glad you like it though.

On the banana, bit much on it's own yeah, try a couple of drops mixed with other flavours, that's what I was doing with it. Came up with some interesting ones. It mixes well with the hazelnut, or some tobacco flavours.

quintron

Well folks,
I received the parcel yesterday and.. holy sheeeeeeet!!
This is a TON of juice!

My first reaction was:



Followed swiftly by:



When I had got myself together... I was like,



Okay, gif's aside, this is a CRAZY amount of juice (66 bottles to be precise ) and many many thanks to wingnut32 for including practically the whole wingnuts premium line of e-Liquids to this juice sampler parcel. Super excited to try out a whole bunch of those that I've had my eye on for ages.
I'll add a few more myself and top up some that are there already etc.


It. is. epic.
Here is the opening shot:


Juice Box Bonanza

So, regrettably, I'm away this weekend but will crack into these first thing Monday!

A reminder of the juice review form which is here:
http://bit.ly/11hvYF4

You don't have to use it, but in any case you can see the reviews at this link as they go up:
http://bit.ly/13AdHtp


It would be nice to have a bit of input from all (remembering, of course, that taste is 100% subjective) so that we can build up a decent picture of these juices, which in turn, will help inform others in the vape community, based on aggregate scores, VTF, etc, and how people are getting the best out of the e-liquids they buy.

PS, does anyone know what mystery brown and mystery green juices are from the original sampler parcel? They have zero labelling..

Okay, off to set up me wicks 'n' coils!

(PS. just saw the new "all the juices" review site grindle posted up. It's amazin'!!
http://allthejuices.com/)

Celly Smunt

Any chance of getting in on this?

redkid

Any chance we can get a copy of the list posted on here so everyone knows when and where it's going?

artyeva

list as it stands at the moment is in the op of this thread.

StickyIcky

Hi Celly

When this list is done and dusted there will be another list made. I wont' start to make the 3rd list up until this list is almost done.

Hey Redkid

Like artyeva says all the info you could possibly need is in the original post. I also put a google spreadsheet there which will be updated with who has what parcel etc. There's a link to that spreadsheet you can click on, plus a link to a review form where you can rate and the juices and write your thoughts on them.

Folks, with sincere apologies for the delay, I've contacted noamigo and will be posting the parcel onwards tomorrow afternoon. There was a LOT of juice to get through and I didn't try them all.

In any case, the ones I have tried and tested I put up on the juicebox reviews site which is here: http://bit.ly/13AdHtp

I hope that noamigo, and others will contribute to it using the form: http://bit.ly/11hvYF4 so we get a balanced picture of the juices once everyone has got to sample them. I will be adding in 3 or 4 juices myself.

I can list all the juices here if anyone is interested? Or maybe Sticky could put them in the first post?

The only thing is, I think we might be getting into the next tier weight/shipping price. I'll figure it out when I hit the post office tomorrow.

Cheers all.
And sorry for the delay (my end) again!
Q.

P.S Soo many great juices in there (which is both a blessing and a curse). Thanks again to wingnuts32. Found some kick ass juices there that I would never have tried otherwise!

DublinCJM

Wow. Fair play for the reviews. Might try get on the next one of these tasting sessions!!

Am only using cartos and clearos though. How would I test all the juices without having to clean out all the clearos all the time or buy a load of cartos??

grindle

Either a 510/306 dripping atomiser that you shiukd wash between juices and leave the minty ones for last, or a cheap rebuildable like the iGO-S or iGO-L.

DublinCJM

Was worried you were going to say rebuildable.... I haven't got that advanced yet

artyeva

quintron did you only try the wingnuts' in the parcel or is that all that's in it? what happened all the others?

quintron

[quote="artyeva;85588quintron did you only try the wingnuts' in the parcel or is that all that's in it? what happened all the others?[/quote]

Hey artyeva, did all the wingnuts first. Finishing the rest today and tomorrow. Haven't put them up yet. Some I probably won't vape as I have them or have used them, though I really should drop in a review. Some are 12mg or lower which is often too low for me and I don't want to be bias based on that. Oh yeah, me head was melted with all the juice! There were 66 bottles in total and will be 70+ when I add in mine, so it's a lot of juice to go through. Should we split it as before? What y'all think?

Nonamigo

Got the parcel today! God, A LOT of juice!!!:) I put aside the ones I haven't tried yet and it's still a big pile!:) so I'll go through them, post reviews, add some of the juices that are not there yet and send it to the next person. Some really good smelling juices in there I have to say. Caramel cappuccino smells sooo good!:) ok im off now trying them. Never had nic overdose yet but I think today ill get there:)))

Nonamigo

Hm..was just trying to leave a review for some juices. But how do i check the other reviews? It's a little weird there, they are not divided by names or anything. I mean there are plenty of reviews but how do i know what review is for what juice?

Hi Nonamigo.
Glad you got the parcel okay.
You can see other reviews at this link: http://bit.ly/11hvYF4
They are in order of when they were reviewed. The names are on the left side beside the time stamp.

When you submit a review, you will see a thank you page, with a link to see other reviews.
However, that page is a little funky (Google) BUT there is another link at the top where it says "click to see all reviews'.
But, in any case, all the reviews are available to view at the link above, so you can click on that for the reviews

If anything doesn't make sense, let me know and I will amend the review form. Don't want it to be a hassle.
Any suggestions to make it better. just shout!

Nonamigo

well maybe something is wrong with my PC but this link http://bit.ly/11hvYF4 brings me to the review form. When i fill my review in it gives me the "thank you" page. And then i can access other reviews. However all the reviews look like that: On the top of the page there are names of juices, below are some graphs with VTF and below that there actual reviews of the juice.

Sorry dude. I gave you the wrong link.
HERE is the reviews page: http://bit.ly/13AdHtp
So, when you submit you will get this page:


Click on "See Previous Responses"

You will then get to this page (which is a mess, not relevant for our purposes)



But click on "View All Responses".
That will bring you to the page where a summary of all the juices are.
Sorry for any confusion!
Q

Nonamigo

Oh sorted now. Cheers:)

Nonamigo

Hi lads, i have a question to whoever put a juice called Caramel Cappuccino into the sampler box. WHERE did you get it from? Who makes this juice??

quintron

That's a preview of a potential new wingnuts juice.

Oh it's soo good! Hopefully soon it will be on their website!

Nonamigo

So the package went ahead to Redkid today. It's getting bigger and bigger and I had to use the biggest envelope I could find. So splitting it would probably make sense...

If its to be split then let me know

You'll see it yourself mate. All the juice hardly fits into an a3 envelope.
