Website blurb:

The Milkman has taken a warm, toasted fruit tart, thrown it into a blender with a dollop of delicious vanilla bean ice cream and a splash of fresh milk

Reviewer Notes:

First time I tried it, I hated it, harsh and tasteless.
Decided to let it steep for 10 days before trying again.
Same reaction this time.

There may be a slight hint of something milky in there, but that's being generous. Almost no flavour and yet manages to be unpleasant at the same time. Tried various wattages and couldn't get anything pleasant out of this juice.

The dripper is also not very effective in this bottle. Bottle also appears to not be entirely filled which seems to be a common complaint when googling. Might just be the shape of the bottle that makes it appear that way.

At this price point - severely disappointing, possibly disappointing at any price point.
A triumph of marketing over substance.

Thanks for the review @method1
I too was very disappointed with this juice. The hype was great but all in all it was a huge disappointment.
The only difference in opinion we have is what it taste like. Why you know what handy andy tastes like is for you alone to know . to me however it simply tasted like warm vomit. Not a flavour i wanted to be reminded of.

Ahahaha nice no nonsense review.

Also made me chuckle

It's always a little disappointing when you drop lots of money on imported juice and it ends up not tasting good at all.

 

[VapeSnow]

Can I take it off your hands?


This is the best eliquid I ever tasted.

 

[Vapington]

Milkman isn't that bad lol. The 2 bottles I had were pleasant but it is a flavour I am no over. I think this flavour needs low noc to come through nicely to be honest. But all in all it isn't the best thing since sliced bread. The handy andy comment killed me haha

 

[Cave Johnson]

I agree somewhat with the review. I didn't find it terrible but definitely bland compared to expectations, and that was on a dripper setup too.

 

[huffnpuff]

Thanx method1, saved me some future disappointment there. I got the same for Loop Ninja, exactly to the point that I'd only need to copy/paste your above results for a review.

 

[Tom]

I agree 100% on this review.... Milk Man was extremely disappointing. I was fooled by the hype too, and the constant selling out of it..... so I ordered 3 bottles. One bottle left....
It has been harsh and scratchy on the throat all along, in 6mg nic. Muted flavour too.

Not on my re order list.... for sure. Not even for a discount.

now i really don't want to try this juice.

Thanks for the review @method1
Bad reviews are difficult to write but add value.
Lol, liked your comparison to Handy Andy

Have changed the thread title slightly to be consistent with other threads

I honestly love how some people love this and others hate it. Taste is such a fascinating subject!

Agreed @Mike

In my early days of vaping I remember @Tom always drumming his "taste is subjective" line. And I always agreed but thought there would be many juices that would be very popular and most would like them. I discovered this not to be the case. What some love, others absolutely hate. And vice versa. Must be difficult to be a juice manufacturer and try please everybody...

 

[Mike]

@Silver something that I've been surprised about is thresholds. The difference between: Custard and egg, dairy and vomit (butyric acid), bakery cinnamon and fireballs, it varies from person to person. I had some friends taste a juice a while back, some couldn't taste cinnamon at all, others found it completely overpowering. Was really interesting to see the exact same thing be perceived in a similar but drastically different way between people.

 

[RevnLucky7]

I too agree with this review.... the first time I tried it. I was honestly like WTF?

Today it's one of my favorites. We have this conversation many times in the store. It's one of those liquids. It's either for you, or it's not. Despite the mixed reviews, it remains one of our top sellers and we can't keep it on the shelves.

 

[phanatik]

I agree @Silver
I remember when I started out vaping i could not stand all the deserts out there.
Now I crave them. I bought a bottle of Jack the Ripper of a colleague who absolutely hated it.
I am absolutely loving it. I do not think i would have enjoyed it in the beginning of my vape journey though,

 

[Mitch]

Hahahahaha Handy Andy.... I didn't find my experience that bad at all. It's nothing I would write home about, I found the flavour bland, it was milky and there was strawberry in there somewhere I think, however I don't think i'd buy more considering there are better juices on the market.

 

[Rob Fisher]

Second biggest waste of money in a juice I have ever bought since I was born!

 

[Imthiaz Khan]

What is the first @Rob Fisher?

 

[method1]

Anecdotally - out of all the liquids I've sold on the classifieds so far - this has been the least popular, one half-hearted enquiry.
Also interesting to me is that every person I've actually met who has tried it didn't like it.

I wrote a similar review for the vapemob website, where this juice is rated 5 stars, I figure it's only fair people get to hear a different opinion when dropping R9.90/ml - but the review was never published (neither have any of my reviews on vapemob - all of which so far have been under 4 stars)

 

[Rob Fisher]

What is the first @Rob Fisher?

Hehehe I knew that would be the next question. Motley Brew which is a coffee vape... worst tasting juice for me ever.

The best coffee vape for me is still the Top-Q Coffee... it's not perfect and I'm still in search of a perfect coffee vape.

 

[Imthiaz Khan]

@huffnpuff, I also had the same experience when trying Loop Ninja on my Atomic. Tried it a week later on a Derringer and it's now tasting really good. I think it also needs a good steep.

@Rob Fisher, never tried that juice and lucky I didn't. I also haven't come across a good coffee vape as yet. Wish someone would make one thou

Philip Rocke's Creme de la Creme is really good. I'm also a big fan of Black flag Fallen. Both vapes that don't appeal to may other people.

I agree it's horrible. That's the only reason I took the juice of your hands. I almost vomited. It taste like burning ash.

 

[Vapington]

Milkman reminds me of 100s and 1000s haha

 

[devdev]

I found the initial taste of Milkman to be a bit bland and somewhat of a fail. It also did not taste or look anything like milk, which I found a little disappointing. On @Yiannaki's advice I vaped half a bottle and persevered, and boy I am glad that I did.

Now it is one of my favorites for puffing away behind the PC - the flavor is subtle enough that it doesn't become too much, and the high VG mix makes awesome clouds. I have zero clue how you guys are tasting vomit (hot or cold) or handy andy (that ammonia throat hit we all love), but if you really dislike this juice then let me take it off your hands as in my view it is really unique - and I mean that in a really good way.

What you guys maybe want to try is lots of different builds to get the flavors to present just right. I have put this juice in the billow 2 and experienced some not-so-good flavors, replaced the build with something different and it got much, much better. I recommend vaping this with temp sensing as well, the flavors do change a lot with adjustment of temp and/or wattage, and 10 degress (or 5 watts) seems to make the difference between this being exceptional and it being flavorless.
