Don't understand the good reviews, I bought this for with coffee as the milk man I wanted was out of stock, tastes like a Christmas candle and not the nice ones. The ones labeled Christmas pudding or something. Im not getting any bourbon, just tastes coconutty and that synthetic pie type candle thing going on I mentioned. It's honestly rank, especially for the price.
By Marcin from London
Not too sweet, good flavour combination. Hint of coconut vanilla I can't really taste burbon maybe it's just me. Perfect with cup of coffee, just this price uuuuu
By Jax from Scotland
Wow..took me about 30 mins and a cup of coffee to fully appreciate this juice . Its not sweet exactly, just smooth and has a little sweetness to it. Also a little bitter and earthy. Hard to understand how it works so well. Initial flavours of liquor on the inhale and then subtle almond rolls on the tongue,giving way to coconut on the exhale. Delicious with a cuppa. Only negative being the price! I don't think any 10ml juice should cost more than 4 quid max.
By Martin G from London
This juice is special it rolls over your Pallet Like angels Ballet As others have described rightly so not an all day vape So set aside a couple of hours and indulge
By 0 from London
This juice is different class The flavour just rolls over you Like an expensive vacation Not an all day vape, But I well-earned treat To be savoured and enjoyed with a glass of vino, The coconut hit at the exhale it's unbelievable
By Joanneking from Cambridgeshire
I like this vape especially now it's getting colder
Very expensive but I'm going through vapers tongue 👅 at the moment and I am liking sugary vapes at the moment so thought I would give this a try (This doesn't taste like sweetners)
I used to like a coffee and a cigarette first thing in the morning and i crave this juice with a cheap mcdonalds toffee late
I like the vanillary sweet bourbon whisky taste, later ion n the week I've even added some of Doozy Muffin Delight juice to it for a cinnamon taste
This is a 50:50 juice 3mg with a fresh new coil using my basic easy to use cheap and cheeful compact novo5 pod at 18W
I brought 3mg as I wasn't sure if too much nicotine would ruin the juice
You will like this juice if you like a caramelised bown sugar sweet vape with an whisky hit, its not a dirty cigarette but I guess you could call it tobacco ish vape I would like to try the other Five Pawn Vapes
By Alan from Glasgow
Really enjoyed this flavour, felt I could taste everything. Slight hint of bourbon, with sweet nutty undertones and then the coconut comes through.
By Caz from Brighton
Oh my god! This is a truly decadent vape. Gorgeous flavours blended to perfection. A smooth vape that is excellent with a coffee. Definitely worth a try and worth the extra cost! Would highly recommend!!
By VapeNasty from Wales
I was a little unsure of this juice at first but after a few more hits I began to appreciate what a complex and interesting flavour this juice has, BUT the price is extortionate whether you're buying a 10ml bottle or even a shortfill and although it's definitely a nice juice it's no better than any of the others I enjoy that are more sanely priced. To my mind no vape juice is 'worth' £6.99 for 10ml but I decided to try a bottle out of curiosity, in the same way John Travolta's character, Vincent in 'Pulp Fiction' had to try a taste of a 'five dollar shake' when he's with Uma Thurman's character Mia Wallace at Jackrabbit Slim's.
If I do buy this again it'll only be occassionally. This wouldn't be an all-day vape flavour for me, but nice for e.g. after a meal in the evening or after, um, other things too; I don't think I'd want to be vaping this juice first thing after I'd just woken up, it would be like having a hot curry for breakfast.
So a nice juice that's not going to be for everyone and definitely not worth the price, so I'm not sure whether I'll buy more or not; I guess I'll find out how I feel about that when I get to the bottom of this bottle btw did I mention it's completely outrageous price?
By Raiz from Leeds
Definitley my favourite from this range. Getting the bourbon in it and nice coconut on the exhale.
By Steffi from Surrey
This is my second favourite of this range (first is Black Flag). It’s very gentle and vaping it on the Innokin Endura mtl with a 1.5 coil get a strong coconut flavour. I might switch to the 0.9 coils which aren’t such a tight draw to get more flavour although you certainly get through juice faster that way. All in all a nice vape typical of this high quality range.
By Ct from London
After seven years of vaping this is still one of the best flavours ive tried. I dont buy it often as it doesnt come in 18 or 20 and its expensive. Really one of the very best flavours out there. Dont get why it only comes in 12mg.
By Ian from Staffordshire
I absolutely love this flavour, it's a favourite! But I just wish it had a little more power and depth to it. It always leaves me wanting a little more from it. I've tried different settings and coils and yet to find the sweet spot. I have heard that it works better on older devices, so maybe that's something to figure out. I'll certainly keep trying as it is exactly what I want flavour wise.
By Kurt Kunkle from Devon
Annoyed with myself for buying this, sorry but it's straight up gross. I've tried Black Flag Risen by Five Pawns and that was equally disappointing, tastes like dirt - should have learnt my lesson. This one is like vaping shower gel. In the bin it goes...
By June from UK
This sounded amazing but I was disappointed after finally getting to try it. I couldn't pick out many of the individual flavours due to the overpowering sweetness of the coconut and bourbon, both of which seem to cling to the roof of my mouth long after putting my vape down again.
Not the smoky, nutty, vanilla flavour I was looking for unfortunately, but if you are after a strong, fruity, sweet bourbon juice then this one is worth a shot.
By Richard Bradford from Glasgow
This is one of my all time favourite juices ever. If it was slightly cheaper it would be the only juice I vape. Beautiful.
By Carl
It's quite smooth and it isn't a bad juice, it's just I was hoping for more. The flavours are balanced but maybe too much, I can't pick them out. Sorry but it didn't meet the hype.
By Alyssia from Staffordshire
This is a relatively sweet eliquid flavour that has an interesting - and probably an acquired taste to it. I didn't really get the depth of the bourbon out of it that I was looking for, so whilst it was pleasant, I won't be repurchasing this flavour.
It is an expensive eliquid and I'm not confident it was worth the extra pennies. Personally, Puff Daddy by Bord02 had a far richer flavour. I do like the packaging though - it definitely looks the part.
By Blue
I love the packaging but nothing else. I've tried a few different flavours from this brand but all of them seem to taste weird. I suppose you can vaguely taste the bourbon flavour but nothing else. I won't buy it again.
By Verb from London
The description of this juice ticked all my boxes. I've had some disappointing purchases and thought that the high number of positive reviews, and its positioning as a rather 'exclusive' juice made me take the plunge. There is a lot going on here and, to my taste, too much. Everything was too intense and the flavours didn't harmonise into a pleasant experience. I really tried and got through about 2mL but called it quits after that. It was just too harsh and overpowering for me.
By Chronoscon from London
I've been vaping Castle Long and/or Castle Long Reserve edition for 4 years now and here are my conclusions on the range:
- Castle Long is far superior to any of the other Five Pawns flavours, which in my opinion aren't even worth trying.
- Castle Long Reserve is an even more accurate and complex impression of the original flavour description.
- Castle Long used to taste more complex, but since a few years ago when they began mass producing and moving away from small batch production, I've found the complexity has been eroded.
- Regardless, this flavour is the absolute best, a morning, midday, evening and night vape. It doesn't burn up your coil instantly (like many sweeter flavours), has savoury notes perfectly balancing off the sweet ones, and delivers a different tasting note with each puff.
If you are looking to buy as a one-off, I would strongly recommend you get the Reserve edition, and then sit back and begin to comprehend how nice e-liquids could be if all manufacturers matured the liquids in barrels.
Five Pawns is to conventional e-liquid brands what the Macallan 1926 single malt is to Lidl own brand whisk(e)y.
Anyone who thinks otherwise has simply not allowed time for their palate to adjust to the range of tasting notes on offer with this liquid.
By P from Cambridgeshire
Of the three Five Pawns juices i've tried this one is most like the description it gives. You can indeed taste the bourbon & the Coconut however they are the main two flavours to come through. Not really my cup of tea but I can see how some people would like it, so definitely an acquired taste. I do think that there are too many flavours going on to be honest but hey, its all subjective.
By FiveThou from Leics.
This is a fantastic liquid. It's such a refined, well-balanced flavour. An imaginative cocktail of flavours that blends together perfectly. Coconut, bourbon and almonds are all present and each captured expertly. It's very rich and has a strong, unmistakeable taste and smell. This is like a rare vintage of vape juices.
Top quality product.
By Jennimc
For me this is one of the best e liquids I’ve ever come across. It’s sweet, but not over powering, has many different layers to it and goes perfectly with a coffee. The main thing for me is that the five pawns liquids have that smooth inhale and don’t have any of the chemical type aftertaste. It’s my everyday juice along with Black Flag Risen Enriched.
By Joffre from UK
This is a very generic sweet eliquid. with little distinction between the listed flavours. I was dissapointed in this one, its got a premium price tag (probably due to the fancy packaging) but it's nothing special.
By Snowdoggy from South Yorkshire
I'm sure we all have our favourite, definitive, 'go to' juice and so far, (with none tobacco flavour based juices), this is definitely mine and I have been making my way through the catalogue.
I stumbled upon Castle Long whilst ploughing through many of the other excellent juices available from Vape Club and was using my Arc 5 mtl device back then.
It was SO delicious on my mtl that I decided to buy another 10ml bottle last week to check if it really was as awesome as I thought and have, today, tried it on my Sub ohm device and it is just as awesome.
I'm really not convinced any other juice can ever be as good as this one or ever will be.
1) It totally lives up to its description (Kentucky Bourbon, Coconut, Almond, Brown Sugar, and Vanilla Bean.) which many juices don't. It is exactly what it says on the tin in my opinion.
2) Lovely thick clouds.
3) Smooth as silk. Little or no throat hit at 3mg. Not sure if that's good or bad.
Not cheap but well worth the money.
This will be a regular order for me and I highly recommend.
NB: I have also sampled Symmetry and Black Flag Risen from Five Pawns range and they are also both exceptional juices. I have heard good things and read really good reviews about Bowden's Mate too so I am going to order a bottle of that one next.
Vaped on:- Innokin Proton Express 235w with Innokin Plex Vape Tank at 85w
By Kevin from Wellingborough
Not my kind of flavour , a bit like cardboard.
By Minimumist from Switzerland
I was a bit reticent to buy this at first, suspecting it would be too chemical. To my surprise, flavors were actually interesting, a nice, sweet blend that's neither too mellow nor too overpowering. This could be a regular go-to juice.
By Giddy from Suffolk
I would highly recommend this liquid if you are seeking a coconut flavour. If however you are wanting Kentucky Bourbon, you would be wasting your time and money with this.
By Mac from The Netherlands
I tried this for the 1st time and I have to say it is brilliant. When opening the bottle the smell was great and despite the first few draws being sorta weird tasting it has become one of my new favs. Will buy again.
By Nick from Switzerland
To be fair, this e-liquid is certainly everything it says in the description. Very complex profile, though at times the coconut and almond feel somewhat too overpowering on the inhale. There's a hint of whiskey on the exhale, but, rather unfortunately, it seems to get a bit overshadowed by the vanilla aftertaste. However, there is something in this liquid that irritates me (not quite sure what), and so I won't be ordering it anymore personally.. I would recommend it nonetheless, in spite of the fact that I have some reservations as set out above.
By G from Sofia
This is by far my favorite juice of all time. Complex flavor as usual with 5 pawns but the thing that wins me is the amazing touch the hazelnut adds. The whole combination while in flavor terms nothing like smoking really reminds me of the day when I was and the sensation of the flavor from it.
Say what you want for 5 pawns but any 5 pawns flavor compared to even the best cheaper flavors out there VGOD flavors, Wick Boulevard and other popular mainstream ones...the difference is they just feel dull to the flavor profile of 5 pawns. So many flavors mix with 5 pawns juice that it kinda makes it hard to get tired of the flavor you like from them. Although, I will admit I dislike most of their flavors :-). For example, Black Flag Risen Enriched, great reviews all around, but I can't say I vape it with much joy, although the complexity of it does give me a certain sense of satisfaction.
Thing is with 5 Pawns, I think most people will find one or two of their flavors to be what they want and what they like. I have also noticed different people sense different things from their flavor. For example from Gambit I taste the apple once on every 200 puffs and other people swear they feel it all the time.
All in all, if I could afford it I would vape Castle Long all day long.
By Jim from Devon
Five Pawns make my fave ADV- Bowden's Mate, so it was only fair that I try a few more of their products starting with this...
It's got a whole lot of flavours I like; coconut, almond, brown sugar and vanilla bean. With a bit of bourbon thrown in for good measure (!)
I'm not 100% sure that I can make our brown sugar or almond, but I do get the other three flavours. It's a good liquid, and something different to the overtly sweet vapes I usually go for. Give it a go, their stuff is always top quality.
By Britannia Standard from Suffolk
Beautiful product , beautiful packaging , not so keen on the price tag ..
Upon trying this liquid for the first time, I was expecting a strong concentrated vanilla taste,, I was soo wrong this liquid if beautiful especially at Christmas time. The super smooth and luxurious taste With big punches of flavour the instant hit of almond which tastes more like hazelnut for an added surprise. I do feel that this is like, A Coffee and almond cake with Ferro Roche on top . On its own without food or drink it is a savoury foodie delight . I have previously seen a comment in previous reviews on this product stating it goes with coffee.
Upon vaping this brilliant liquid with a cafe Nero latte it takes my mind back to a Paris coffee shop , nice memory seeing as I'm in sunny Suffolk and it was raining at the time
brilliant product but not such brilliant price ..
By Frenchnes from London
Hi ,
i actually bought the Castle Long RESERVE, which i can't find on the website now.
Product is good, i really appreciate it with a coffee, or a beer... But i can't smoke it all day long. it's a bit "too much". Price of course is not justified but that's marketing for you. And it looks nice indeed...
By Samski from Wales
Disappointed tbh coconut is really overpowering and doesn't let the other flavours come through couldn't taste anything else but nut and coconut no bourbon or vanilla whatsoever.. 3/10 for the presentation of the liquid is great.. 10/10 for delivery!!
By Lynn from London
A complex flavour profile that blends brilliantly, no one flavour overpowers the other and they all enhance each other so well.
The packaging is very different; high quality and a lot of attention to detail has gone into the design.
Equally good mouth to lung on a regular atomiser, or direct to lung on sub-ohm, naturally the sub-ohm produces bigger flavour and immense clouds but still it's not harsh on the throat.
I'm only taking one star off because as nice as it is, and as attractive as the design is, for 30mls the price is too high.
By Tom from Manchester
This stuff is excellent stuff, a very unusual flavour that takes some time to get used to but this premium juice is one that I keep coming back to. A little pricey but defnintely worth it for a Saturday night treat with a large glass of red
By Steve from Wiltshire
I wont be filling my Griffin 25 with this, I think it would be too much, in many ways...
But as a mouth to lung on a Nautilus X at 1.5 Ohm, in the evening, with a good beer or a fine glass of red, it is perfect for me, as is their Black Flag Risen Enriched.
By Alison from Angus
I never really find any juice unusable but this 1 for me is,and was even more disappointed because it is so expensive so i thought it would be brilliant and really isn't,i've tried steeping it,changing different coils,different settings on my battery innokin mod 30 with innokin i tank sub with 0.2 & 0.5 coils an it was still not pleasant at all,again because of the price i have mixed it with other flavours to tone it down so that i could use it and not chuck £24 in the bin.has put me off buying more of the actual brand which is something i never do.pretty disappointed but hey you dont know til you try.nice packaging but i wonder if that's just to draw you in.i've given 2 stars which is the lowest i have ever put for any liquid,my advice would be don't buy this 1,is not pleasant at all.
By Frontal from Exeter
An expensive product, and I found the bourbon taste overpowering. I will let it steep for a few more months and see if it improves.
By Ted from Essex
Not sure on this one, I can't make my mind up but it's not bad at all.
By Jimmychu from London
definitely very unique. its expensive, so based on that i probably wont use it all day but if it were cheaper i would.
By NastyRide from London
Love it... pricey but you'll never find anything quite the same... The Bourbon and the nuts work incredibly well together. If only it was a little cheaper :/
By Pattie from Berwick
Well done FivePaws. Yet another great flavour from your range. Full of flavour, almonds and coconut on the inhale, bourbon on the exhale. Tasty tasty vape..... Well concocted necter that hits the sweet spot. A very "adult" vape. One of the best brands i have came across out of everything avalible on the market today. Well done guys 5*.
By Ricky from Kent
Five pawns CASTLE LONG .
WOW! Just tried this and what a superb liquid.
This is probably the best tasting liquid that i have ever had.
The description is spot on .A smooth vape that makes you want to use it all day long.
Yes the price is expensive but the quality is there, well worth it.
Thank you Five Pawns.
By Jim from Staffordshire
Coconut, almonds - very moreish, lovely.
By HeyZeus from Lancaster, Uk
Am a fan of fruity/tropical flavours so got this as an alternative and to break the taste bud muting. When I first tried it I didn't like it. Was very dry and savoury. Then I steeped it and it came to life. The flavours blend really well and is very complex and 'adult'. Not too sweet but beautiful and almost indulgent. Love the odd hint of oak and bourbon that comes through. Lovely mature flavour.
By Cammy from London
but overpriced in my opinion... It is one good juice but there is better out there for the money.
Prometheus e-liquid from Mystique is an excellent alternative.
Well done Vape Club for the best UK site for buying e-liquids.
Fast, efficient and reliable.
Well done guys.
Subtank Mini 0.5 Ohm
By Chufsterino from Tewkesbury
This liquid is so good. easily the best i have ever tasted. ALL of the notes are there as per Five Pawns descriptor. Only downside is that it is so good that all other juices i have just don't compare. Definitely an all dayer for me. I particularly love the subtle burnt sugar undertone on the exhale: think of the top of a real creme Brulee. Amazing
By Rena from Nottingham
Ever tried that baileys biscotti flavour that baileys brings out at crimbo? This is basically it! Smells and tastes just like it- which is fine with me :) That being said, it does have many other subtle flavours/after tastes within it. Bannana, maderia cake etc. Very nice, but not on your pocket. the lovely packaging makes me feel like a posh bird ;) think it may be my favourite :)
By Subohmreviews from Bristol
This juice has become one of my absolute favourites, it is so special.
Initially this is a predominantly coconut vape, but i can personally taste the oak/bourbon + vanilla as well.
On the inhale i get an oak/bourbon vanilla, and am greeted by the coconut on the exhale that stays in your mouth.
This juice is so complex and probably the best complex juice i have tried.
This juice really has all the flavour notes coming through seperately, and makes other complex juices seem amateur.
I cannot put this juice down!! I just keep coming back to it.
It is has a dry throat hit with its hint of smoky/oakey harshness to round off the body.
It is a must try!
By Claypole from London
Black Flag Fallen was my first Five Pawns liquid, and highly recommended, even at the £30 price tag.
Gambit is pretty good too.
Castle Long tastes like coconut with vanilla, no bourbon that I could taste, and the flavour is very dry and definitely not an all day vape. I would love to elaborate, but I am very disappointed and at any price, let alone £25 a bottle, for me this is best avoided.
By Bamzilla from Denmark
Ive seen all these reviews talking about all the flavour notes and while watching and mouthwater ran down my shirt i ordered one, all i taste is a very sweet coconut but not much else, tried it on RBA and NAUTILUS and it was awful on both maybe it needs to steep, i don't know ill leave it for a week and try again.... I do get a taste that it seems to be made with high quality raw material but it did not live up to my expectations sadly...
By JB from UK
Given all the fuss and good reviews 5 pawns receive, thought I'd give it a shot.
I'll quite happily pay £25 for a liquid, however for that price it needs to stand head and shoulders above other cheaper juices.
To be honest, the liquid is smooth - produces good vapour and tastes decent.
But, if i'm being honest: compared to say suicide bunny or other similarly priced juices
5 pawns simply isn't better than them - certainly not £8 better (per 30ml)
With that in mind, in my opinion it's overpriced.
If 5 pawns flavours are your favourites then by all means spend the £25 to get the flavour you want,
however if you're just after quality liquid - smooth, great taste and great vapour don't waste the extra cash it's really not worth it.
By Skaman from Uk
the very best in e liquid its so well balanced and yummy, u get u get exactly what it sez, u will not be dissapointed. as normal the vape club does it again by allowing us to try such pleasures.
By Juice-e from Manchester
V.nice juice! Love it! One of the best juices i've tasted!
By Lovedajuuce from Kent
Well this juice ticks every box. It's like fairy's dancing lightly on my taste buds. You get the creaminess and bourbon on inhale and when you exhale a very beautiful nutty note. Very complex juice which works so well. If there's one juice I recommend spending ya hard earned cash it's this. 10 all the way
By Danial from Newcastle
Very good balanced liquid and I can taste all flavours perfectly balanced in this one. Just I waz expecting it should be more borbon base rather then all mixed as a unique blend but still it's one of best in its class
