Grand Cru Black Ejuice Review- Now with UPDATE!

"Black" by Grand Cru is described as a flakey strudel pastry layered with a rich blackberry/apple filling and sweet cinnamon sugar. The VG/PG ratio for this is a max 100% VG ratio.

The first flavor that hits you is the strudel. Once you take a hit and exhale, you will taste a subtle cinnamon flavor. It is a nice addition to the ejuice. It isn't too harsh and is just enough and it really pairs well with the strudel. I think it's the perfect amount.

For me, I get the strong strudel, and a light cinnamon flavor on the exhale, but the blackberry/apple was lost in my ejuice.. I didn't taste either one of those flavors in my batch. I'm letting my ejuice steep for a while to see if it draws out the fruit flavor, as I was really excited to try that flavor combo. I will update if I find any changes.

UPDATE 12/3

Womp, there it is! After letting it steep for a week and a half, WOW what a difference. The strudel flavor has now subsided and has allowed that sweet blackberry/apple flavor to come out and play! What a world of difference.  The flavors pair so well together and you get a sweet/savory hit.

 Before, the strudel was so overpowering and it made the juice unpleasant. I threw it in my box and almost wrote it off. Decided to give it another shot today and I had to double check the bottle because it didn't even taste like the same juice.

 I now know the importance of steeping your juice. Maybe you have a juice or two in your box that you ended up not liking. I encourage you to give those another shot, you might be as intrigued as me!

You never know how long the ejuice has been sitting in a shop or factory. I know when most of us get juice, we want to use it right away, but try to plan out to where you can let your juice chill in a dark dry place for 3-14 days to be able to taste the juice the way it was intended.



I love the label, and I'm really proud of the picture I took. It's only from a cell phone, but I think the label really pops, especially in the daylight. This is one of the few ejuices that actually have the description on the bottle.

I sampled this juice using my Kangertech Subbox Mini at 25.0W

Grand Cru has four ejuices in their line, Black, Sapphire, Pearl, and Imperial. They sell for $19.99 for a 30ml bottle

There are two ways to earn rewards, earn coins by taking pictures of your receipts from drug stores, grocery stores, pet stores, convenience stores, etc. Or you can earn slot spins from stores that sell clothing, home improvement, electronics, sporting goods, etc. Slot spins are a fun way to earn more coins.

Slot spins have little added bonuses like winning your last receipts worth of coins or gift cards. 

Coins add up fast, especially if you do a lot of shopping for your family. You can add up to twenty receipts a week, so make sure you are adding the big ticket receipts first because the more your receipts are, the more coins you will get, Then if you have any left over before the week ends, add them to take advantage of your twenty  receipt uploads.

Get monthly bonus coins for completing tasks like uploading one receipt a week for three weeks, once a week, etc.
They have other extra fun ways to rack up coins if you want to spend more time than the quick receipt upload.

Use code: prah5215 when you first sign in to get those 5 spins. If you do not use a referral code, you will not get any free slot spins when you sign up and you will have to earn them on your own.
