So I decided to try my Mt. Baker stuff a bit early just to get some impressions, and to see what kind of effect the steeping will have on their flavors later.
I put all three in some LR 510 Fusion cartos (my personal favorite): Hawk Sauce, Moo Juice and Orange Dream Bar.
Moo Juice... I really hope steeping helps. It's not pleasant right now. The strawberry is very mellow and light, while the predominant flavor is the "cream", which comes across more like butter. A few pulls came across almost entirely like warm butter. The scent of the vapor is also pretty bad; it's something I recognize but can't place exactly. Almost papery somehow. Will be very surprised if chemical bonding over the next week changes this juice into something I actually like.
Hawk Sauce on the other hand tastes fantastic right out of the gate. Very bright and tart flavor; some people describe this like Sweet Tarts and it's right on the money. There might be a hint of lavender or something behind the berry flavor too. I got 2 flavor shots in all of these and I think on this one and the Orange Dream Bar it might have been a little much, as the tartness makes it something I can't vape for more than maybe an hour (and I don't chain vape whatsoever). Unfortunately there's really no throat hit to speak of even at 18mg and 80% PG, so it's another one I have to file under "if only."
Orange Dream Bar is a good, simple juice for me. Right now it's mostly coming across as orange; the citrus is clean and strong, enough that I am not really getting any of the creamy aspect to it. I think this will improve with steeping, and luckily it is not that buttery style cream that is going on in the Moo Juice. Throat hit here is also a bit light but there so unless something bad happens I can see myself getting this one again when it's out.
I need to order some more eVod tanks because since getting it, the performance I'm getting from my 501 Fusions seems less and less impressive. I think part of that is the Tiki Juice I am currently using in it, which I'm becoming more and more enamored with. Even with a very complex flavor like this though the eVod isn't getting in the way at all and I'm getting an extremely clean hit every time, with much more vapor than I'm getting out of my cartos. I even put some Tiki Juice in a carto just to make sure I wasn't fooling myself and I can taste the difference immediately.
Will probably go back to Halo and try their tobacco sampler to see if they have anything else as impressive as Tiki Juice. I almost hope they don't because their shipping was far from impressive and their prices are kind of a bummer.
