Five Pawns - Juice Reviews
- Thread starter Andre
- Start date
My first venture into the expensive side is Gambit, which is ok I suppose, almost as good as amarettojust kidding, this stuff is pretty darn good.
I almost GASP there for a moment
For the price you pay, I do expect to be blown away. I still don't know if it's worth it yet.
vape on....it took me a day or 2 as well before I really got it

Tried Gambit. Cannot stomach it, tastes almost as bad as Grandmaster to me. Does it have something nutty in there? I just cannot vape nutty juices.
I don't taste any nuttyness in Gambit but have to admit it's a little harsh on low ohms (<0.7) and the "appleness" tends to disappear, at 1+ Ohms it is definitely divine for me, although not my top in the signature series.
Grandmaster has definitely a nutty flavour and is quite pronounced, almost overwhelming at low ohms.
Thanks, shall try at higher ohms.
I cleaned one of my kayfuns just now, dry burned the twisted coil which is still performing like a champ. Replaced the cotton. and filled her up with some 5 Pawns - Gambit. And she's working on the Nemesis with a fresh battery.
Holy sheeet, this stuff is so good. I almost feel like drinking it. To anyone thinking of treating themselves, just do it. This is really an amazing juice.

definately want to try gambit at some point
I did not like it at all, Tom. But then, seems my taste buds and nutty vapes are not friends. Grandmaster was the same for me.
Reviews on liquids are really pointless.
Myself and @Spiri are the perfect example. He likes everything I absolutely despise. The only thing we do have in common is we both know the difference between a good and average juice. He likes fruits. I like tobaccos and deserts.
That is a cynical point of view. Is the point of reviews not to do just that - tell if the juice is good, average or bad for the price and, if you like a certain class of juice, that this one is for you or not. Why then do you post reviews of the juices you sell and tender incentives for people to review your juices if it is pointless?
The point I was trying to make is how subjective taste is. You don't like Mondays. I can tell.
Edit: And that reviews can be just as helpful as they can be misleading.
I did not mean to come accross as synical. Ever strike you as a cynical guy? At the end of the day, whether you're going to like a liquid or not is going to be a coin toss, no matter how hyped it is. That's all.
i wouldn't say that juice reviews are completely pointless... the thing is that when looking at reviews, you can see a certain trend following with certain vapers, their likes and dislikes and then match them with your likes and dislikes... taste is very subjective, but some of us do like the same sort of tastes, hehehe just my 2cents 
Here's an example.
If that was written as a review by someone I might have skipped over Gambit. Gambit is in my Top 3 all time favorites, which in turn, to me, make your opinion on the juice, if I wanted to try it for the first time pointless.
Maybe pointless was the wrong word use and I do agree Liz, it takes me many reviews before I pull the trigger on things.

On the point of juice reviews I think you are all making valid points
@RevnLucky7 - I do agree that one or two reviews may be helpful or misleading given how subjective taste is.
But @Metal Liz - you make a very valid point and something that I think is worth giving more attention. I.e. matching likes and dislikes.
I think one needs to try find those who like similar juices to you and then you know your taste buds are more aligned. Then when that person reviews a juice - you know that there is a better chance you will pick up the same.
Some examples
- I find that myself and @Matthee have quite similar tastes. We both like Bowdens Mate from 5 Pawns and we both really dislike Gambit. We both really like HHV Huntsman. So I think we have a lot to gain by sharing each others' views.
- on the other hand, @Spiri and @RevnLucky7 are enjoying different juices
- interesting one is @johan and @devdev - apparently those that @devdev does not like, @johan likes a lot. Apparently, they are great contra indicators for each other
So, I think one needs to get to know the taste buds of the reviewer first - then the review adds more value...
And that was the only point I was trying to make on this fine Monday morning, that your statement "Reviews on liquids are really pointless.", is not correct in my most humble opinion.
And I hate all juices other than Menthol Ice!
But this is the week that I find some more juices to vape... all the equipment is out on the desk and all the new devices will get coils and wicks shortly...

awesome, time for me to take drive up the road then
my 2 cents....I just needed an indication where Lucena would lead to. If it could possibly fit my taste.
As it is a bit nutty, how is it in comparison to Castle Long? After the initial disappointment I started liking it. In fact, its currently in the basket....just need to decide if Lucena will join it. Could also do with another Gambit

gambit doesn't have any nutty flavour to it right?
