Analog Background: This is what has built my palate for what I love in vapors today.

Java Latte Cigars, CAO Box Press MX2 cigars, CAO Brazilia Mini Cigars, Gurkah cigars then off to Black Kretek cigars (Vanilla, regular, cherry and Bali-Hai), Parliament and Marlboro Menthol Lights.

Vapor Background: All Smokeless Image 12mg. Their liquids are 100%PG. Ice Menthol, RY4, Cowboy, Freedom were my favorites and LOVE them. Didnt care for the Desert Joe but vape'd it anyway. 555 didn't care for. ECBlend Flavors (numerous flavors I didn't care for at all that made me want to stop vaping.... Steeping all of them right now, will go back to them as my last resort.)

reviews: These are all 12mg 70/30 PG-VG blends from PinkSpotVapors.com I am sampling these in brand new fresh blank cartos from Smokeless Image on a 78mm Volt Manual Battery, 65mm Volt Auto Battery and a Good Prophets GP901 Atomizer.



RY8: RY8 E-Liquid Refill
This is a really great rendition of the RY4. Sold under the name "RY8" because they rumor it two times better than any RY4 out there. I feel that yes this is a very good RY4. It has the taste of a rich dark coffee. Hints of Hazelnut and vanilla and caramel linger as you draw this onto your palate. Very amazing flavor, tons of vapor and taste. Compared to Smokeless Image's RY4, I hands down recommend this as a replacement or substitute. I will definitely add this to my list of all time favorites and daily vape.

Swagger: Swagger E-Liquid Refill
Wasn't really sure what this would taste like, however being that it is sectioned under Traditional Tobacco flavors and having such high reviews, sans any hint of what flavor it is, I decided to plunge for it. WOW! Think of a RY4 with a creamy vanilla taste. The two ways i've explained this to my friends is that it is a very smooth, frothy and creamy mocha coffee. Very similar to your bottled Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino; or a very sweet and creamy RY8. Honestly, I would pick this over the RY8 and that says A LOT. Another amazingly good after meal vape and daily vape.

Over the past couple nights, I think I messed up and somewhere I swapped the Swagger Carto with the RY8... So there is a VERY large chance that the Swagger and RY8 reviews should be switched around. I re-filled my RY8 and Swagger Cartos a couple hours ago and I been vaping the RY8 a lot, however it tastes more like my review of Swagger and the Swagger tastes more like my review of RY8.... :blink:

Pink Spot on the Rocks: Pink Spot E-Liquid Refill
My friend recommended me the regular Pink Spot saying it's one of his favorite daily vapes. I asked PSV to please send me free 3ml sample as I picked the regular Pink Spot. I was given this as my 6ml sampler instead and boy was I so glad they did! "On the Rocks" is what Pink Spot calls their menthol additive on their signature flavors, it gives off a very slight cooling and tingly feeling with what I feel is a boost in flavor. Not to be confused with say your Menthol version of analogs. I saved this liquid for last as the company being named Pink Spot, this must be one dang good flavor. Oh boy did I really save the best for last. Upon my first few vapes of this flavor I literally had goosebumps instantaneously shoot down from the top of my head to the ends of my feet. I was floored at the huge burst of Raspberry, Pineapple and Lime followed by the cooling/tingly menthol background. It's a fairly sweet vape, similar in taste and feel of Jolly Ranchers hard candies. Recommended as a daily/lounging vape.

Black Mamba: Black Mamba E-Liquid Refill
This is was PSV sent me for my 3ml free sample. Given that I did not have a blank carto and it being such a small amount of liquid, I sent this one to the GP901 atty, brand new and freshly removed of any priming fluid. This flavor is labeled as a blackberry/cranberry mix. I personally do not like blue raspberry after very many sour faces and bad nights with blue raspberry vodkas, this flavor reminds me too much of it. I will say that it does taste fairly well, however it makes me feel nauseous despite it's great taste. I vape it from time to time, but it's not my go to flavor.

Frozen Lime Drop: Frozen Lime Drop E-Liquid Refill
Another flavor recommended by my friend, I really wanted to try this flavor out SO much considering the sound of it just makes your jaw twist and tingle, ya know that feeling i'm talking about? Yeah, it's exactly what it does, but not in a bad way and not as bad as literally biting into a lime. Interestingly I find myself vaping this one the most throughout the whole day along with the next flavor i'll review. This flavor has this sweet lime flavor like a Lemonhead candy with that On the Rocks cooling/tingly sensation that makes your mouth water for more. I love it. A great all day vape!

Raspberry Lemonade: Raspberry Lemonade E-Liquid Refill
As I mentioned in my last review, I found myself vaping this flavor throughout the whole day. I'm not a huge fan of raspberries as I mentioned earlier but gosh, this one will leave your mouth watering as well and wanting more. It has that sweet lemony background as the raspberry flavor hits your palate. Another all day vape recommendation.

Lemon Coconut Cookie: Lemon Coconut Cookie E-Liquid Refill
This one was tried through my GP901 atty as I didn't have a blank carto for this one. It's very odd how well this flavor tastes. You taste the lemon and the coconut evenly as the vapor covers your palate and as you inhale it, you'll be introduced to this doughy and sugar cookie note that really makes you go "mmm!" in your mind. It is however not my go to vape. It really is just a dessert vape, something I wouldn't vape all day.

Closing:
I really enjoyed all these flavors recommended to me by my friend. I cannot slow down with Pink Spot Vapor's flavors. On thing I noticed about the Swagger, Raspberry Lemonade, RY8 and Frozen Lime Drop is that these vapors are very strong, and what I mean by that is that they aren't overpowering; however, when I was vaping these in my class lastnight, my girlfriend who was sitting at the other end of the 14 foot table could clearly smell all of the flavors. In my morning class one student said out loud, "Oh my god, it smells like coffee all of a sudden? You guys smell that???" He didn't see me vape. I just smiled.

These flavors are really so good, it just makes me want to build a 1 gallon atomizer that would vape Pink Spot on the Rocks or Frozen Lime Drop 24/7 in my bedroom. These flavors are so amazing.

In terms of throat hit, all of them provide for a really good throat hit for me, very subtle. However, for one, the Swagger is so smooth, there really isn't much of a throat hit I notice most of the time.

Moreover, Pink Spot Vapors REALLY cares about their customers, as mentioned by others, they hand write a personal letter on each invoice, for you. Here is mine:



As you can see, PSV really does mean business and they stand by their 100% customer satisfaction. Referring to their last statement, it's like they KNEW on a personal level how unsatisfied I was with a certain liquid vendor I've mentioned a few times before. :blush:

They have gained my customer loyalty for as long as I vape!

*I am seriously in no way affiliated with Pink Spot Vapors and am not paid or anything by these people or my friend. I was simply recommended to them and this is my 100% honest review.

Hmm, I did try a sampler and I do appreciate that taste is subjective but my experience was a tad different. I was hoping steeping would help that's why I asked. The "on the rocks" for me I taste nothing but Menthol and that's in black mamba and blu spot. It's so overwhelming I can't handle it. The others are ok but very perfumey/soapy. Still will give them some time though as I always do for juices.

That is fairly interesting that both of you report that. Maybe you guys got fresh batches? All my bottles don't have a scent even with the caps off unless the tip is within a cm of your nostril. Tons of flavor for me and the menthol OntR additive only gave me very slight cooling and tingle.

Have you guys tried contacting Pink Spot about it?

I haven't yet, because I like to let them steep for about 1 week - 10 days before I have a final verdict. I always drip taste new juices when I get them simply because some juices are great straight from the mailbox. Right now the raspberry lemonade tastes pretty good, it has improved since I first tried it. The other ones are very perfumey and the on the rocks ones are way too strong w/ the menthol for me. I'll give them some more time though, as some juices just need it.

My bottles do smell, they smell quite good to be honest.

I'm sure it's a longshot but would you be willing to trade the 6ml Blu Spot on the Rocks for a 6ml Lemon Coconut Cookie and 3ml Black Mamba? I used about ~10 drops out of both of these as I dripped them into an atty.

I totally agree with your assessment of the Frozen Lime Drop as an all day vape. I reminds me of Stolichnaya w/ lime instead of LemonHeads though.

I have no idea what a Stolichnaya is, but i'm going to Google it in a bit haha.

EDIT: Vodka! lol. I haven't ever had it, seems pretty pricey for me, but im just a kid still, not very many hard liquors under my belt, just the cheap Absolute and occasional Grey Goose here and there...

Interesting. I've gotten a total of ten bottles from pink spot, and all have provided a perfectly good vape straight out of the package. Never noticed and perfume type aroma, always had the full flavor, vapor, and throat hit.

Perhaps you just got a bad batch? I would contact pink spot right away about it. I'm sure they'll help you out they have great customer service.

Thrill, depending on the flavor I would say give them 10 days. I gave mine 10 days and they are pretty good now. Especially the "on the rocks" versions. When I first tried them the menthol was so strong it felt like I had an ice cube in my mouth. I couldn't taste anything else. Now, it's 15 days since it was mixed and it's great.
