I've been a fan of Bowdens Mate, Gambit and Grandmaster for some time. I picked up a bottle of Castle Long Mixology at vape Blast today and it's everything I thought it would be. Typical of their other juices, different flavors come to the front depending on the power levels. Damn you 5 pawns, you're an expensive habit but so so good
Liking the castle long more and more in my trident v2 at 1.8 ohms. In my igo-w, on a vamo v5 at 1.7 ohms, I've been alternately dripping queenside and bowden's mate on the same braided cotton wick, and it is good.
Tried the rest of the mixology series and On first take I liked the idea of some of them more than the execution. need to vape them all again.

Will comment on the flavor in a few days, but have to put in a plug for their service. I ordered the Mixology and Classic sampler packs yesterday; the order shipped three hours after I put it in online. I don't know if that's fast for the e-juice community, but it's lightning fast for online vendors writ large. Thumbs-up on that alone!
i can't remember but maybe a month ago. i ordered it from royal vapor cigarettes and had a problem getting it through their confusion. i called the producer and that helped.
they don't make enough and said sometime this coming year. now that sucks. totally amazing.
they are rock solid reliable with shipping. Order before 1 and it will ship that day... and it will arrive across the country in 2 days. I've ordered from them about 10 times and it's always been the case.

I also use a Trident v2 with a .9 ohm build and cotton wick. I go from 7 to 9.5 watts on my MVP 2 and the flavor profiles change depending on power. More of certain flavors on inhale and exhale. Not too many juices give that. They seem to have a sweet spot and that's all you get.
Castle Long is magnificent. Very complex and capes great, even in my little eGo-T. Waiting for my replacement SVD to come in the mail. They carried it at a local shop and I am glad that Five Pawns gives a discount to vendors because it was only $0.45 more at the shop than ordering online. The Lucena was another that I will probably pick up next time. Five Pawns will probably be my splurge/guilty habit juices and then stick with some of my other cheapers daily go to's. Anybody suggest a tobacco flavor that is great but not too much dinero? Right now I am with Boba's Bounty and Alien Visions Flu Cured for tobacco flavors that are cheaper than these 'gourmet' lines.
So far have tried Queenside, Bowden's Mate and Fifth Rank from my two sample packs. All three are amazing right out of the bottle, going to work through all ten and then let them all sit for a while to see what steeping does for them. Complex, layered, everything that's been said about them is true.
OMG I tried Castle Long today and it is horrible, I mean really terrible that I can't get the taste out of my mouth. I also bought Lucena and now I am scared to try it.
Long castle is complex and not sweet at all so IMO its really not a flavor that everyone would like,
Lucena is sweet-ish and my second favorite FP juice (after Grandmaster)

My thoughts on Mixology edition juices:
Fifth Rank - rank, being the operative word here. Tasted like licorice (it's the horehound) and I do NOT like that.
Sixty-Four - no grapefruit to be found, tasted like dill and medicine and maybe a hint of mint or menthol.
Perpetual Check - delish from the sample - black current, fig, cinnamon, lemon zest, but the full bottle I bought is reminiscent of potpourri. I think it needs more steeping.
Lucena - Spot-on peaches and rum. Really good - I ordered the full bottle of that and it's as good as the sample.
Castle Long - didn't bother tasting as I have a full bottle of reserve (well, on reserve, lol, for special occasions.)
YMMV

My tastebuds must be different, because I picked up strong lime and mint - I didn't get licorice at all, unlike Absolute Pin which is definitely anise!
I just tried Gambit for the first time last night and it blew me away. It's just like homemade apple pie.
