Five Pawns - Juice Reviews

Congrats @annemarievdh - enjoy the 5Pawns!

I still don't get much of the banana flavour coming through on the Grandmaster. Mainly the nutty tastes. I still like it a lot. But my favourite is Bowdens Mate...

I actually wanted the Bowdens Mate but there was no stock. Sooo that is the next one i'm gonna get
 
Gambit ftw! I bought another one just before I left. For the special occasions ;) or rainy days....well, then I should have bought 10.
 

So I wanted to post my review of Absolute Pin here, but it looks like my review is too long to be able to post in a message. And I am NOT gonna shorten it, so I made it into a PDF file, for you to download.

Vapey you were right on the button when you said many would not like the Absolute Pin... I really shouldn't have bought it in the first place because I hate cinnamon... man this stuff is not nice at all! :(

I was so amped to try Five Prawns Juice... it was so bad I had to empty out a full iClear30 down the drain!

@vaalboy Markus you must try this to see if you like it because I will never open the bottle again! :eek:

Yeah, absinthe is not for every one, myself included. Tastebox is an option too.
 
@Rob Fisher - I was lucky to be able to try all the 5Pawns at VapeKing before buying. Only a few puffs on a little EVOD setup but that was enough for me to know Absolute Pin wasnt for me. I took the other four ;-)

Vaping gets expensive if you need to buy bigger bottles just to taste...
 
Yeah, would be awesome if everybody had 1ml taste tester bottles of their flavours

Based on your review of the MVP I should have searched for your review on 5 Prawns first before diving in. :D

Actually having gone through this exercise in the last week or so it should be COMPULSORY for juice peeps to make a taster selection!

Come on you Juice Peeps be the first to produce a taster selection and capture the whole market! :rolleyes:

I think 10ml sample bottles should be something that all juice manufacturers aim to offer, in addition to the 30ml normal sized bottles.
 
I was thinking 0.5 ml samples - something you can vape for a few hours and make your mind up if you like the flavour or not - before you buy even 10ml
 
hmmm... not sure how you would package 0.5ml though @Derick?

And it wouldnt even fill a tank. For those people with top coil tanks (usually 1.6ml capacity) I have noticed you need to keep the tank above a third to get a decentish vape. So I think just putting in 0.5ml would be risking dry hits and a bad experience.

Also, if I got a new flavour I'd like to test it on multiple devices. Say my Protank and my dripper. So say around 1ml for the tank and say 2ml for the dripper. Then if I liked it, I'd want to vape it a bit more. For me, to test a flavour properly, I need to also vape it at different times of the day, before and after meals, in the evening and in the morning. So I'd need at least about 5 or 6ml.

Perhaps if I'm reviewing a flavour I'd need about 6ml. If I just want to taste it for my own purposes to see if I like it or not, then I suppose 3 ml is fine.

Good point @Silver1 - so minimum 5ml should do it
 
I think 10ml is fine to taste, test, write a review on and still have some left over to vape a bit and enjoy if you like it
 
With Heathers Heavenly Vapes, you can buy 4 x 3ml samples for about $10. Those 3ml's, to me, are more than enough to make up your mind if the juice is for you or not :)
 
ok, here is what the german reseller for pipe sauce does. Obviously he cannot get the samples from the guys in the US he sells all 6 flavors in his own little 1ml samples. That makes it 6ml for Euro 5,90, compared to the 30ml single flavor for Euro 14,90.
This sample pack is nearly always sold out, going like hot cakes. You do the maths now....

Maybe an idea? @Gizmo and @Stroodlepuff ?

they are using this for the samples:

Only problem is you must take 12mg nicotine and 70% pg and 30% vg. Didn't like their samples at all.

I agree with you @fred1sa, i cannot stand the high pg ratio of their samples, however, 12mg's is right up my alley. They were good enough for me to at least know whether i would like to buy them or not. My preferred ratio is between 50-70% VG, depending on which vendor.
 
I actually typed it op Word yesterday, and it seems copy and paste from there is a no-no.

Yip typing anything in Word for a copy and paste is a no on with this forum software. :oops:

But this forum software is streets ahead of anything else on the market and really user friendly so it can be forgiven.
 
Absolute Pin is a light almost luminous yellow colour (if it reminds you of something else like it did me, you will no doubt have a little hee-hee I'm about to vape Bears Grylls' p..... moment here)

And for me it tastes like that too! I'm really nervous to try any of the other 5 Prawn Juices because this one was so nasty! But based on the rave reviews I need to try the others. I just wish they has smaller taster bottles.
 
We're working on it. Just need permission from them to go ahead :)

5Pawns Absolute Pin (12mg 50pg/50vg)

So, @Vapey McJuicy (we need more juice reviews from him!) said about this one:
I think some vapers might actually love this juice, but it really needs to be enjoyed on say a proper RBA or a dripper, with some high heat and good wicking. Without that you are going to be stuck with an Absinthe-like tasting juice, and a Spice Girls to keep you company. (His full review here)
The highest power he tested on was between 12 - 14 W. Decided to try it a higher heat on the Aqua atomizer. Dual coils at 0.62 ohms wicked with bamboo thread. That's around 28 W of power.
My bottle of Absolute Pin has been standing idle, did not like it, as quite a few of you have also remarked. Tell you what, at this power this juice is a totally different beast. All the elements @Vapey McJuicy mentioned are there, in perfect balance. For me this come very close to the class of Bowden's Mate, which is my favourite at this stage. Probably not an all day vape, but awesome for in between for an intense kick or after a sumptuous meal.
