Glad to hear that you contacted FreedomSmoke Prouddad. I had considered doing the same in few days if things didn't improve. The flavor I'm getting is somewhat pleasant, but its there and its the same in all 8 bottles. This flavor is extremely overpowering in Apple, I taste zero apple. I wasn't sure if that was a FS signature thing or not? I guess we'll see if steeping can improves things!
Just curious, why steep with caps off, I have not researched this and would be concerned with contamination or evoporation, no? Secret tip??
I am also ordering only samples sizes until I lock in on something fantastic...which got me thinking, if they mix to order, are smaller batches hard to work with maybe? Difficult to achieve the desired results @ 5mils?
Backwoods has been my consistent favorite thus far, but I'm still exploring other vendors and flavors. I know something will strike my fancy sooner or later!
