Bombies 'nana cream

[inswva]

One of the first juices I ordered when I started vaping a couple of months ago was Bombies 'nana cream. It was/is highly regarded so I figured it was a safe bet. I vaped about 20ml of it through some crappy EVOD type clearos which came with my starter kit. It wasn't bad, per se, it just didn't have any flavor. Like none. I put the bottle in the juice cabinet and forgot about it.

Fast forward to today. I'm now using a DNA30 box at 23W with an Eleaf Lemo RTA running a 1.2ohm coil. The Lemo delivers superb flavor; miles beyond the crappy clearos I started with and markedly better than the nautilus mini I used on my MVP. I figured I'd get the Bombies back out and see if two months of steeping and the new hardware would bring out some flavor. Cleaned out the Lemo, changed the rayon, and filled 'er up with 'nana cream. Verdict? I sort of taste it now but it is very, very muted. I vape lots of high VG liquids with good flavor so I'm not thinking it's a PG/VG ratio problem. It smells totally righteous though and makes stupid amounts of vapor.

So, after taking the long way around to the question: does anyone get strong flavor from this stuff? Just wondering if it's muted by nature or if I got a wonky batch.

I`m having a similar experience with both nana cream and Seven Seas. The Seven Seas has almost no flavor at all and the nana is very, very light. I just received these this week and I`m going to let them steep for a while to see what, if anything, changes.

sorry for brining up an old thread but I had the exact same experience and found the answer on reddit by bombies himself and thought I'd share it here:

Now the flavor themselves. The flavors are designed to be light and mellow. The reason being is (again, to me), an all day vape needs to be complex yet mellow. I personally cannot chain vape something -- no matter how great the flavor is -- that will hit me like a bag of bricks. When people read about others posting about 'nana cream, they are expecting this exact thing. This has never been the case, and the internet has elevated my flavors as if it is the god's gift to man. At the end of the day, it is just juice, and there are plenty of great if not better flavors out there offered by vendors all over reddit.

I've vaped a lot of 'Nana Cream from Bombies to say the least. It definitely is a mellow vape and your taste buds aren't going to be slapped with flavor, but for me it's been an addicting and consistent flavor that I don't get sick of. The vapor production is great and it's a thick juice that isn't watered down to accommodate the higher VG which is always nice when you're looking for a juice to drip.

Not to mention, the owner of Bombies is probably the nicest person I've yet to meet in the vaping community. Being a user of Reddit, you see him over there quite often and he's always humble about the success his juice has gotten and the hype that just never dies. His customer support is great and you can always look forward to a hand written note at the bottom of each order receipt. Not to mention, you can always rest assured that if anything goes wrong with your order, you'll have a hassle free experience with getting it corrected.

That alone makes me come back and give him business. He quit his job and has devoted his entire life to this industry now. There was a long period of time where he was making the juice by himself and could only open for 2-10 minutes every Wednesday on his site. He now has a warehouse with full time employees and is open 24/7. It's been nice watching his company grow.

/rant. Just a great company that deserves the word spread

Agree with every word above from Arch. I love 'nana cream after a steep. Out of the mail it is too in my face banana. About 2 months later, fruity creaminess. Does seem like a great guy on Reddit too.
