Now, on to the box: (All are 6mg, mixed blends)






In first place: Must Vape's Pencil:
(Vanilla Ice Cream, Pear, Buttery Crumble)
Smell: Prominent Pear and Crumble.
Taste: Pear is on the forefront. There is a very good, buttery crumble flavor that follows closely so that the pear mingles. The vanilla ice cream is a light undertone that seems to blend into the crumble. This one is vibrant and flavorful.

Second Place: Omega Vape's Chronos:
(Vanilla Cream and Sugared Marshmallow)
Smell: There is not much of a scent, except for a light marshmallow.
Taste: To me, it tastes like a very mildly-sweet, sugared marshmallow. I emptied this is maybe three days...if that.

Third Place: G2 Vapor's DeShock:
(Raspberry/mixed Berries)
Smell: I kind of get a tart "pear" or sour berry smell.
Taste: All I get is a sour raspberry flavor, maybe champagne-y.

Fourth Place: Banzai's Sensei's Stash:
(Vanilla and Melon)
Smell: I get a strong vanilla with a sweet, fruity scent.
Taste: The vanilla is definitely at the forefront. This is one of the few vapes where I can actually say that the vanilla is strongly discernible. There is a soft afterthought of melon, I think it is perhaps watermelon or honeydew....I can not clearly distinguish which. It is a very smooth vape.

Fifth Place: Clever Vape's Hapaya:
(Papaya, Peach, Subtle Hibiscus + Extra Flavor Shot)
Smell: I am able to pick up on each note with no problem. The overall scent is a pleasingly-strong blend.
Flavor: The Papaya and Peach are very strong, with the Hibiscus popping in here and there. It definitely has an "In-your-face" approach in flavor. It is kind of harsh on my sinuses and the back of my throat though.

Sixth Place: Hurricane Vapor's Fog Milk - Coconut:
(Coconut, Milky Custard Blend)
Smell: A very strong Coconut and an "eggy" custard smell.
Taste: It is a very dry, milky coconut custard. I tried so hard to like this, to no avail. The dryness that hits immediately, mingles with a strong coconut taste and leaves a very strong "eggy" aftertaste in my mouth. Not a fan.

With these boxes, I am going to rate them out of how many bottles received and how many are liked. This one is a 3 out of 6. Not bad, considering it IS a sampling service.
