Well, parsing that carefully: By hand and in small batches is good but that's the case for a good number of more reasonably priced vendors. Same with USP/food grade flavorings and pharma grade nicotine - the usual 'better' e-liquids all fall in that category; I never buy anything that doesn't fit those minimal criteria. Ditto careful flavor development (who would say otherwise?).
There's no customization of VG/PG, samplers or smaller bottle size, which won't satisfy some vapers. Sourcing ingredients domestically and locally can mean any number of things (including, "I purchase Dekang juices in bulk from a US business and recombine them" - not saying this is what Gambit does at all, just pointing out that it doesn't mean much). And of course they mix it in their own California locale.
Virtually every affordable 'artisan' (small, skilled and conscientious) vendor and some larger ones can match or exceed all of those claims. Many will add that they've eliminated diacetyl-containing flavors (and will readily disclose those which contain diacetyl-substitutes), offer customization (PG/VG, flavor adjustment) and some make their own flavorings and tobacco extracts. Some use only organic flavorings (it's kind of meaningless in e-juice, but matters to some folks).
That leaves "many other ingredients that help enhance what you taste". Other ingredients besides food flavoring, PG/VG, sweetener, Ethyl Alcohol and nicotine? Again, I need to know what those are before I put out big money. I actually need to know what that "many" refers to before I vape it.
From the wording, though, I'm thinking that they just mean "food flavorings other than those obvious from the juice description", like a little orange in the chocolate, multiple flavorings for complexity and 'layering', etc. - and again, that's par for the course with all of the better juices (and some godawful ones).
That said, I always appreciate skilled and imaginative e-liquid mixers and I'm thinking these guys are in that burgeoning category.
I'd pay normal price to try it for sure. It's really fun to have a 'glamor' line with such elegant packaging. I get that some will want it just for that. I'm just not so far seeing anything that would justify an analogy with those 'gourmet' comestibles that really are made with better quality (and more expensive) ingredients, or require more complex and time-consuming processes (also more expensive) which would justify the much-higher prices.
To me.

i have a 30 ml absolute pin that is missing a couple mls. i dont think im gonna vape it anytime soon. anyone want to trade?
I'll send you my package after I'm done with it. The Five Pawns package, you pervs. Haha
I bit the bullet and ordered some. Heck, I quit analogs a month ago, lost 10 lbs, and quit diet soda - I DESERVE me some good juice (and nice packaging). And if I don't like it, I know who will
Treat it like a nice glass of wine and only vape it on the weekends. lol

Is the flavor in this stuff strong enough to get a good taste, or is it weak, and leave you wishing it had more? I'd love to try the gambit, that'd be a perfect flavor if its actually strong enough.
I would have to stay that the flavor is not strong but constant. I've been vaping the grandmaster and can taste the peanut butter, banana and caramel! Taste good! Thanks again !
