Unfortunately, I am rather well known to take the piss out of Five Pawns for their pricing and seeming pretentiousness regarding their juice and fantoosh lab video.
Today, and quite unexpectedly I might add...I had the pleasure...and I want to reiterate, PLEASURE of sitting at a local vape shop and having a vape and conversation with Jordan Nolan and Jay Oku of Five Pawns.
As is my style, I immediately went after them regarding my issues as stated above. They both answered these concerns quite eloquently and with a minimum of marketing nonsense as most tend to. They also shared some vapes of their finest...and their explanations of their business philosophy and methods...along with tastings of their juices, have led me to post this rather humbling thread. Their juices are complex and full flavoured...and are quite obviously made from house extracted ingredients...especially roasted nuts and something quite new to my palate....horehound derived "mint". I detest mint, but the soothing and cooling feel on the back of my throat was, in a word....ASTOUNDING.
I want to apologise publicly for being too quick to judge the product and the people, and urge you all to give some samples a go. You may just find that the money is well spent when you experience a flavour profile that nobody else has managed to come close to nailing.
They exist in their business model, for only one reason.....to ALWAYS exist....not only through consistency, but in the face of the very real possibility of Government regulation. But do NOT take my word for it....try the product and decide for yourself is what you are vaping, is worth the hype and price. I fully plan on making my first order with them!
