Thank you for that very thorough .
lm guessing why ppl chose you to test in the first place.
Unless you have infinite amounts of money… premade coils are not the way …The way you feel about that I feel about the crown III. I’ve never gotten a better flavor from the crown 3 tank with the 0.4 Ω A1 KANTHAL COIL. It’s almost like a double wrap or a claptonized wire it looks like a spring and it’s fuse to a regular wire top and bottom. Crazy how the same juice can taste completely different in a slightly different setup even if they’re similar.
And then even the mod like the chip to make the flavored taste different there’s so much to learn. vaping really is a lifestyle!
although I don’t use anymore I use the mesh because it lasts about 3 months but the flavor was unbeatable in my eyes luckily the crown 5 is almost the same im def all 'bout UWELL.
Thank you good sir! for the info and all your hard work around here
I’m sorry @D-a-M-o-N, I tagged @D.Sims mistakenly. You’re welcome. Using pre-mades for SFT would get VERY expensive. Thank you again, and you ARE welcome Sir.
Cheesecake (VSO) 3% (5-28-22) – Only for @Ken_O_Where do I do this. We ALL know the real DANGERS when using Cheesecakes, as there have been a few that made me throw the tester across the room, screaming, “No” !!!. Luckily, hehe, this was NOT one of them. As Shane already mentioned, there is NO GRAHAM in this Cheesecake, SO, you are free to add it at will, AND, at the rate YOU want. I love that, because no MFG ever gets it right. Creamy cheesecake goodness here folks, and with no socks anywhere. No BA (Butyric Acid), no puke, no curdled milk, or sourness. It’s a Cheesecake Lover’s Party, ALL day long. At 3% it was nicely full, present, and believable, with an astonishing amount of creamy richness that I hadn’t expected. Clean, natural, and (repeating), convincingly real taste. I am always hesitant when tossing a new Cheesecake into the tester, as some were just God awful, but this one really showed how RIGHT you could make one. No coconut notes, no crust, just a bold, rich, creamy cheesecake that you could crust up, and add toppings to, and call it a day. If you are a “sour” cheesecaker, this one may not be for you, but for the rest of us, this’ll work. I couldn’t find anything to nit-pick with this one, and I WAS looking. I could almost get the crumbly feel that you get when you cut into a well made Cheesecake, but only almost. Very nicely done by Shane, very nicely indeed, and as a blank canvas Cheesecake i.e. no crust, or topping flavor notes, you could go crazy with this one. Felt great at 3%, and you could probably push it a smidge higher as the main Cheesecake in a mix if you had to. As it stood, I wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10.
Hehe, @D-a-M-o-N, that’s the weird thing, I don’t even know WHY I started testing flavors in the first place. I mean, I know why I started taking notes on them, so I’d know them better, and be better able to mix with them, but as far as the “thing” that these tests have turned into, I have no clue. I just started doing them, and probably like 3 people liked them, so I kept going.
Well I think one of the major things is that you’re super thorough and descriptive it’s almost like I’m tasting the damn thing when I’m reading it! Roll with it free is awesome could turn your hobby into a commission or source of anyway even if it’s just saving money
@D-a-M-o-N you’re very kind, and thank you for that. There are many “reviewers” that go FAR MORE into detail than I do. All orders of different strengths, steep times, possible pairings, etc., but for some reason, I felt, that was just TOO much for the average user. I decided a long time ago, to just simply review it, as I saw it, and that was it. I actually DIDN’T mean for my scoring to really be part of the public reviews, as that/those were supposed to be just for my own database, and how I scored them. I accidentally started leaving them in the reviews, and decided screw it, they’re in there now !!!
I actually got a lot of flack on Reddit FOR my review style, as “they” weren’t used to that style, but were more accustomed to the DEEP DIVE, 7 paragraph review format. Can’t please everyone ehhh ??
Thank you for taking the time to read these reviews @D-a-M-o-N, and giving feedback. Very appreciated, and realizing we ALL taste things differently, and no one should go soley by my reviews before deciding, but I hope they help people out.
That mod looks like the blackberry of vape mods
Well I was VERY fortunate @D-a-M-o-N, that @SmokyBlue talked to @David_SXmini on my behalf, and showed him some of my reviews, and he decided to send me out those two new v.2 SXmini mods to review. The SL Class v.2 is damn near as perfect as the G Class v.2. They are BOTH, showstoppers.
@D-a-M-o-N Very, very true. I test tanks from time to time, and some which APPEARED to be very similar to a design I like, surprised me when the flavor(s) was/were completely different than expected.
The wife and i may have to live in a box but at least we will have a lot of flavors, hehe. Sounds perfect, i feared another Cheesecake (TPA), a very misunderstood flavor. I am super sensitive to BTA which is weird as i love milk and cheese, especially raw milk.
Gonna have to grab the caramel too.
If there’s BA in there, you tell me, because I couldn’t find any.
Ill let you know in about a week.

I know that I am pretty biased, but these are my favorites.
Favorite to smell: Pink Grapefruit.
Favorite to mix with: Dulce de Leche
Favorite to add to everything under the sun: Malt
Well THAT certainly peaks curiosity …
I’m so sorry. My vet bills are partially lingering. I tried out a new saddle for my mare… that’s on the back burner. I’m glad your pup is on the mend. 
You’re not kidding! I love the Dulce!
My wife has a custom one being made at present and another on order… Apparently they are needed.
Horse people huh, though I guess I am one too. Lol.
Cherry (BETA) (VSO) 2.5% / 5.0% / 8.5% – I think we all have a bit of fear when testing new Cherry flavors, or at least I do. So many bad ones, medicinal, floral, or just plain soapy, and because of that I typically start VERY low. I started this one @ 2.5% and while good, was fairly light, doubled it (yes, doubled) up to 5.0% and it improved, but still felt it was a tad light. I contacted Shane, and he said you could push most of his flavors up to 10% without them getting squirrel-y. What ?? !!! Well I took this up to about 8.5% and it still stayed true. This is a BETA flavor, so you guys are RIGHT on the cutting edge with me on this one. While Shane dials in the strength of this one for sales, I can say that it increased when moving up in strength, but not fully linear. Shane may adjust but for this BETA, it felt like 6.5%-7.0% was the sweet spot before diminishing gains. OK, what WAS it ?? I was indeed a delicious Cherry. Not a red, not a mara, not a black, but rather almost like a fine cherry wine, WITHOUT the wine. It did lean to the delicate side, but it was soo good, it didn’t really take away from it. Below mid level sweet, and you could really almost taste the flesh, and skin of a just ripened cherry, with NO pits hehe. Clean, and crisp kept coming to mind throughout the SIX testers on this one. Yes, I know, I NEVER do this, right ?? Well, I did it this time, and mostly, to try and help Shane out with some relative percentages. I don’t think I’ve EVER doubled, then increased AGAIN, a Cherry, without blowing my face off, and this speaks to the skilled extraction technique that was used on this, and many of the other VSO flavors. Granted, I did start to push into reducing gains when cranking this one up, BUT, it never got squirrel-y, floral, perfumy, or flat. Pretty impressive. Now, with it’s very clean, natural, and somewhat relaxed nature, how it would hold it’s own in mixes will have to be determined, but as a solo, it was one of the most, if not the, most natural Cherries I think I have tried. Don’t be afraid to push this one, and you’ll have to UN-learn what you know about Cherries thus far. Please remember, this was a BETA, and Shane may tweak this, but the profile was spot on, so probably only saturation levels would need to be adjusted, if anything. Squarely placing this one at 9.2/10.
Chocolate (VSO) 2.75% / 4.0% (5-30-22) – Let me tell you about some of the aspects of BAD Chocolates that I’ve had. Bitter, coil gunking, band aids, and Tootsie Rolls. Great news is, there are NONE of those here !!! The first thing that I always check for with choco’s is how dark they are, and in prep for the coil gunk. This one had barely any color, and was almost clear. I tested this one at 2.75% and 4.0% to see what shifted, if anything. At both weights I got a good chocolate, that was somewhere in between a milk choco, and a mid-dark choco. Increasing to 4% it darkened up a tick or two, and got slightly fuller. Satisfying, with no bitterness at either weight, and it had an almost touch of a bakery note, almost like TPA Graham Cracker Clear, but ever so slightly. I tasted that throughout all of the testers, and it actually just plain worked. After I tasted that note, I immediately wanted to rush ahead to Shane’s Graham Cracker, as I can already see THIS chocolate in my next S’mores. This was a great chocolate, and one that you could shift, by using at different rates to get more of a lighter chocolate at lower rates, and a mid-darker chocolate at higher rates. Sweetness was surprisingly lower than mid level, and at both testing weights, I couldn’t find any off notes, band aids, or tootsie rolls. It was interesting to see this one shift when moving from lower to higher mixing rates, and that will def. open up it’s uses. Easily a 9.5/10.
