Hasn't anyone heard of 555 cigs?! The only brand I ever bought 'cos I thought the packaging was 'cool' ;)

I remember SpaceCadet.
I agree that the namesakes aren't close to the real thing, but I love the 555 blend from Puresmoker. I don't get a "nutty" flavor from it though.
More of a sweet buttery flavor. (hard to describe)

I am sure of how it's made:
Somewhere in a small corner of heaven. Members from the highest choir of Angels are assembled. In this quiet secluded setting, divine light bathes their faces until the Angels begin to weep with pure joy. These tears are then harvested and eventually find their true destiny.
Nestled deep in the cartridge fibers of my penstyle, they await the journey for which they were destined... one of pure satisfaction. Immediately upon completing their divine task, they return to heaven to begin the cycle again.

(I think I may have to lower my nic concentration) :rolleyes:

When i first got it I thought they were going the MLB and Camel route and trying to replicate "555 State Express" cigs which I LOVED to smoke.

but I don't recall 555 State Express cigarettes tasting like peanuts.

One thing though, my roommate is DEATHLY allergic to peanuts. I wonder if I'm killing her by smoking it, so I've stopped with that flavor.

I got this juice ages ago when I first started e-smoking, I got the 24ml from e-cigs.co.uk . I found its quite nutty like everyone else but not to overpowering. If anyone in the UK remembers they did have an advertising campaign but I'm not sure 555's sold that well and they quickly disappeared to the specialist shops. I would recommend this liquid to most people but for myself I wouldn't buy it again, the tobacco flavours just aren't my thing. Go get some British Bulldog from e-cigs.co.uk, its an incredible e-juice!!

I'm allergic to cantaloupes, and I vape cantaloupe liquid from puresmoker. No reaction. I like to test my limits! :)

Gotta love artificial flavorings! :) hahaha. That must be really cool for some people to taste something that they normally couldn't. Especially if they end up really enjoying it.

Just reviewed this over on the Totally Wicked Site...

I've been testing this one out again using the SuperMini dripping onto the Atomizer and i also filled a couple of carts and took it out with me on Saturday night with the EVO, but can't really comment as i don't really remember too much of the night, but apparently i was happily vapin' away in most of the pubs and don't remember getting booted out!

First off the smell, it smells quite nice, sort of a nutty smell to it. It reminds me of Honey Roasted Cashew nuts, sweatish but not over powering like the ginseng was. Its another 36mg so again pretty damn strong. The throat hit is very strong, even stronger than the Ginseng to me, every drag you take you really feel that hit on the back of your throat. Vapour wise its another good one, producing plenty of vapour with both the SuperMini and the EVO. This is only the second 36mg i've tried but i can see a pattern emerging as both lots have had that good strong throat hit and produced plenty of vapour.

Flavour wise it's pretty weak, i'm just getting a slight taste of what i can only describe as peanut butter (i think?). There's no after taste and defiantly no problem polluting the atomizer with this one. I don't mind peanut butter so its quite a nice vape for me and have got quite use to it. I don't get much of a tobacco flavour from this one considering Express State 555 is a cigarette brand, but i've never tried one so can't really compare the two. I've tried a few of tobacco type flavours and i actually prefer them to the fruit/sweet flavours. Personally this one isn't as good as just the 'Tobacco' flavour but still pretty good and i'm more than happy to vape it...

...The only downside to this one for me is it's far too strong, the first go on this it went straight to my head and i ended up falling asleep on the couch (and missed The Weakest Link )! The strength isn't a huge problem as i've cut it 50/50 with some glycerin and it tones it right down making it what i think is quite a nice spoke. It's weakened the flavour even more now but made it a little sweeter and now i think its tasting more like the smell i first described 'Honey Roasted Cashew Nuts' (or what ever the sweet tasting cashews are).

Overall i quite enjoyed this one, could happily vape this no problem as long as its not at full strength.

Flavour: 7/10 (Quite like peanut butter)
Flavour Strength: 3.5/10 (Not the strongest flavour i've tasted)
Vapor: 9/10
Throat Hit: 11/10 (Ultimate throat hit, possibly a little too strong )
