Burn Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I really like Vapor Fiend's template for reviews. Presuming he doesn't object, I will use this for mine. Very nice for reading. Ms. T Baker Essentials (http://mstsbakery.com) is a "hand made" e-liquid shop. Ms. T (Tammy) makes all of these herself upon order, similar to tasty vapors. Her service is excellent. Not knowing this was a one person shop, I called the customer service number (hoping to not get routed to China) to inquire about the flavors and Ms.T answered. She walked me through her menu and made some suggestions. I bought 12 total flavors, some fruit, some desserts, a coffee and some mints. Available in 6, 10 and 15 ML, reasonably priced for hand made mixes. Here is a review of the 6. 24MG PG/VG mix (currently only available as her PG/VG blend) Overall: Personal tastes are going to vary as well as performance. I have vaped at LEAST 3 ML of each that were reviewed. These were all done on a Standard 510, without any mods. While the appeal of the flavors do vary as well as my impressions I do stand firm in one area. The e-juice is of high quality and you can tell it was made shortly before shipping. Many stock brands are sitting in a warehouse for months before delivery. You can tell the difference in the quality of a made to order liquid. Red Hot Cinnamon Sticks: Smells very good and the taste is certainly cinnamon. It was very good when I first tired it but after a ml or 2 it felt somewhat weak. I didn't notice any real aftertaste. It is a bit sweeter than I hoped but I love strong cinnamon, like red hots or hot tamales. this is more along the lines of cinnamon gum. I did finish the 6ml bottle and I found other alternatives I like better so I will buy those. If you like cinnamon gum or flavored toothpicks, I would recommend this for that taste. Atomic Fireball fan? Keep on looking. Score: Smell= 8, Taste=8, Vapor Production=5, Throat Hit=6. Grade: B- Peach: Tastes and smells more like a fruit blend but not peach. The flavor was o.k. but not great. I also had Apricot and it tasted very similar to that. The Fruit flavors I was seeking was almost jolly rancher strong. This peach is very sweet and really didn't have a distinguished peach taste. Not only was it not what I had expected but it really did not taste that appealing to me. I did finish the 6ml bottle but wont buy this again. Score: Smell=5, Taste=4, Vapor Production=6, Throat Hit=6. Grade: C- Blueberry Muffin: The smell is excellent and fruity. The taste is sensational. What a pleasant surprise. I had heard this was good and the real product exceeded that. It really tastes like a warm blueberry muffin. The muffin and blueberry are not distinct flavors, which is a good thing. The flavors are well blended and come across as one flavor, just as the muffin does. Inhale is mostly sweet the real payoff is the exhale. Complex flavors but really blended as one pastry would be, Outstanding! A premium breakfast/dessert vape. I highly recommend this flavor. So good when I have it with my morning ice coffee. Score: Smell=9, Taste=10, Vapor Production=8, Throat Hit=6. Grade: A+ Wintergreen: Wintergreen is one of my favorite flavors of candy/gum and I was really looking forward to this one. Smell is very faint, almost no smell. Taste on inhale is not sweet and a bit medicinal. Exhale is rather bland with a faint wintergreen taste and medicinal aftertaste. My expectations were high but even with moderate hope, it just didn't have much flavor. I could not get through 2Mls of it. I did add some Ethyl Maltol to it to reduce the aftertaste and add some sweetness. I also added some Loranns wintergreen and some sucralose (liquid splenda) and I got it pretty close to what I was hoping for. The aftertaste was lessened but still there. I was very disappointed and surprised this was the same maker as the other juices I received. I cant recommend this to any fan of the flavor. It could be just the mix but the other mint flavors I tried had the same issues. Score: Smell=3, Taste=2, Vapor Production=4, Throat Hit=4. Grade: F Butterscotch Pudding: The smell is quite good and I could pickup on the butterscotch right away. The taste is very good, overall. Inhale is sweet with some butterscotch. Exhale is all butterscotch and cream, pretty simple makeup. It is a single flavor and I couldn't help but wonder if it was better as a multi flavor, with chocolate for instance. It is more creamy, like pudding than it is a candy. I think it is very pleasant and would satisfy a butterscotch palette. I would buy again. Score: Smell=8, Taste=9, Vapor Production=6, Throat Hit=5. Grade: B+ French Toast: I am not a huge fan of French Toast, as many are but I did like it enough to try it for variety.The smell is very good and accurate, strong maple smell. The taste was a very big and pleasant surprise for me. Inhale is sweet with strong maple. Exhale is a terrific blend of maple, bread, butter and even cinnamon. I am amazed, once again how much it tastes like a baked product instead of a menu of flavors you would associate with the confection. The Maple is strong and I am sure that is intentional and loved by most. I am not a huge maple fan so I couldn't vape it all day. The quality and accuracy is unavoidable, even for someone, like me, who orders this breakfast twice a year, if that. Score: Smell=10, Taste=9, Vapor Production=8, Throat Hit=8. Grade: A- Bonus Flavor: T's Morning Blend: This is not an available flavor on the site, in fact Ms.T doesn't even know it by that name. When I called her shop, I asked her what was her favorite flavor. Of course, she didn't have one... I asked her what was in her e-cig right now. She said "a 50/50 mix of Butterscotch Pudding and French Toast". I also tried the mix and it is really, really good. The flavors mix quite well even though the butterscotch loses its creaminess. The Maple flavor become more of an accent and this combination, in my opinion, is better combined that the 2 flavors alone. This blend is just a hair below blueberry muffin as my favorite from Ms. T. An all day blend, great in the morning, with your coffee that I really recommend. Score: Smell=9, Taste=10, Vapor Production=8, Throat Hit=7. Grade: A Summary: The quality of these juices, even the ones I didn't care for were very good. I think DIY liquid makes a difference and if you want to see what I mean, try a place like Ms. T that does make these fresh juices from good flavorings. She defends her home turf very well, the bakery items are uncanny and this is what i will associate this vendor with. The fruits are fair and the mints were unusable to me, without modification. To be fair, most don't offer mint flavors (sans menthol) for probably a good reason. I wish every discerning vapor lover could get a pull of the Blueberry Muffin, it really is remarkable, even if you don't like the pastry very much. I like this distributor and will reorder the unique bakery flavors from Ms.T again. Edited April 18, 2010 by Burn Phaseman66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
