Hi everyone :D I got my order in earlier in the week and finally carved out some time to come review the new flavors Dawn has recently added to her line up.

First let's talk poundcake. Dawns Rum Poundcake is awesome, I have been vaping it for a couple of weeks now (first received as a sample with my Easter order) and love it, it has become one of my regular vapes. So Dawn has been playing with it and has come up with some great additions to the poundcake lineup.

Boo Berry Poundcake- I absolutely love love love this. Dawn sent me a sample bottle and it is fantastic, you can taste the poundcake as well as the berries and they work very nicely together. This will definitely be an item on my next order YUM! The vapor is fantastic, I don't really notice throat hit much on any juice though so can't comment on that but the stuff even smells yummy still in the bottle as well as the exhaled vapor.

Lemon Poundcake- it reminds me of those lemon cookies you can get that have powdered sugar all over the outside! I am not a very lemony person but this is a nice vape and I imagine if you are a lemon love you will adore it. It produces clouds of flavor and has a very lemony scent and flavor, not overwhelming though.

Black Forest Cake- I should have known to order a small bottle on this one. I have not found a chocolate flavor that I care for really, so for those of you who do like the chocolate flavors you will probably love this one. I don't even know how to explain why I don't like chocolate flavors, I actually think I don't taste them correctly. Anyway, I reserve judgement because I am not good with the chocolates.

Strawberry Colada- I really like this one a lot you can definitely taste the strawberry and coconut and if you know what to look for you can find the pineapple flavor in there, it is mostly a sweet undertone though. The vapor is fantastic and it has really encourged me to try more berry flavors because I seem to really like them a lot. This may become one of my regular vapes :D I really do love it.


I also order Blueberry Cheesecake, I know this is not a new flavor for Dawn but it is AWESOME. I was afraid that it would have too much of the sour cheesecake flavor, which I love when eating cheesecake but didn't think would be a good vape, it turns out that I can barely taste the cheesecakeyness. It is there but it is mild and tones down the sweetness of blueberry in a very positive way. I will definitely order this one again but not sure if it will be a daily, though it definitely could be, I think I just like the Boo Berry Poundcake better.

I usually order everything in PG, but I know some of the flavors Dawn was working on were going to be VG flavors. I am not sure if the samples she sent are VG or PG. They all produce great clouds of vapor though and are awesome flavors :)

Dawn hit a home run with her new flavors and as always customer service was fantastic with handwritten notes and little freebies thrown in.

The boo berry poundcake is delish. I also ordered the vg banana split and it was outta this world. Everytime I vape it, I just wish anyone near me could try it. It's so much like the real thing. I with you VallyGrlor with the chocolates. I ordered thin mint and to me it's nothing like it. I can't seem to find a chocolate flavor I like. none of them really taste like chocolate but I can't figure out what it is that's lacking. I know now after several chocolate purchases from different vendors,to just stay away.

I can't wait to order the spice fried apples, I've ready so much about it and nothing negative. I'm sure there are many more for me to try. she carry's endless flavors. Has anyone tried any of the menthol she carries?

Spiced fried apples are very nice indeed.
So is the blueberry cheesecake - I agree theres less cheesecake and more blueberry - I love it too; very nice fruity flavor. Have you tried her Caramel RY4 (the ordinary RY4 is good but this is sooo caramelly n yumcious) - its one of my new faves lol.

I had actually seen your recommendation of the Caramel RY4 in a previous post and decided that I had to have it. I recieved the shipping notice early yesterday morning, so I'm hoping that I'll see it either today or Monday. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

I'll have to try her blueberry flavors too - I'm a sucker for fruit flavors.

I'll definitely have to add the banana split to my next order! But, it's unfortunate to hear that you guys aren't digging the thin mint - I have it on order. Hopefully I'll like it.

I just tried Boo Berry poundcake - it is nice - I found its a little blueberry, a little plum fruit (theres definitely something other than blueberry in the way Im tasting it, its a smooth blend though, nothing sharp) - it isnt as strong blueberry as the cheesecake if you want a direct comparison - and theres a cakey exhale too.
I'd say this was a light (but not weak) flavor - though I must add Im using a zero nic version, and nic often adds a little tartness - which makes it a very pleasant thru-the-day-vape flavor.

Edit: SHould mention I vape my fruity ones on a 901 (adapted to fit a 510 PT at 3.7v) as they tend to prefer this, and I get a better flavor.

I may just have to add the blueberry cheesecake too. It's just amazing how talented some of these juice makers are.
