As cinnamon vapes go, theForce Throat Hit is strong with this one.
You know what? I don't really like the term 'Throat Hit'.
It just rubs me the wrong way. Well, actually if done properly, being rubbed the wrong way can totally become being rubbed the right way. but I digress. . .
Right. So, for the rest of this review and in future installments, I will refer to 'Throat Hit' as 'Kick' - 'Kick' sounds much better.
So, as cinnamon vapes go, theForce Throat Hit Kick is strong with this one.
Compared to really hard-hitters, Grandma's Cinnamon Danish (hereafter GCD) does not give much of a kick, and when you think about it, neither does a real cinnamon danish - even one of Grandma's. On the other hand, something like wasabi has one hell of a kick. It will be a dark day when some demented mixologist creates the wasabi vape - and it will come with a warning: For Masochists Only.
While certain cinnamon-based vapes do have a stronger kick, they are more of a candy-ish flavor, such as the candies 'Red Hots' and 'Cinnamon Discs'. Using a Drip-Style EHPro Trident gives the greatest kick (and the greatest overall flavor). If I had to scale the different devices, it would go something like this:
Trident EHPro has the greatest kick hit,
when using the R91 there is a medium kick, and
using the Kanger PT2, the kick is on the weak side, but it is present.
Vapor Production (VP) – Vapor Production is top-notch. There's not much to say about this category. Depending on hardware, vapor production can be solid, and for something like a drip style atomizer, the vapor cloud is limited only by the size of your lungs. Just a few people vaping dip-style RBA's can completely fog up a room in a matter of minutes. Yea, so Grandma's Cinnamon Danish delivers on vapor production.
Taste – Wow. Incredible. A great candidate for an all-day vape (ADV). GCD tastes exactly as described by Nicoticket. It's not surprising that NT nails the description perfectly because, before being released, each flavor undergoes a tremendous amount of R&D. This includes heavy field testing by a wide range of Nicoticket fans who help evaluate each flavor before its available for sell on Nicoticket.com (as well as dumping 100's of gallons of e-liquid that doesn't make the grade – see interview for more details). Because of this, only the absolute best cream-of-the-drop are available - Clark assures me that every flavor for sale is the results of 100's of hours of taste-testing by a large group of testers on a wide range of PV's:
The cinnamon is of a confectionery variety and not of a candy-ish variety. Instead, it tastes like white bread fresh still warm from the toaster, that's buttered and absolutely covered in confectionery cinnamon-sugar. It has also been compared to the cereal “Cinnamon Toast Crunch” and this description is certainly accurate as well. Tastes smooooooooooth and soooooo creamy! The buttery flavor and glazed icing notes are spot on. This one never gets old. It happens too ofter where after vaping a flavor for a while, the taste diminishes as your tongue gets 'used' to the flavor. This has not been my experience with Grandma's Cinnamon Danish. For me, every vape is as flavorful as the first one, with no issues of flavor burn-out or 'Vaper's Tongue'. I know more than a handful of people who use GCD as an ADV, and will definitely be adding this to my rotation. What tastes better than Grandma's Cinnamon Danish? Hot Grandma's Cinnamon Danish. Many e-liquids taste best with a hot vape, and GCD definitely fits this description. My preferred setup is a Russian91% on a Provari set that's set to around 13 Watts. The taste is of a cinnamon danish fresh out of the over – absolutely heavenly.
Honestly, Nicoticket said all that one can say about the flavoring of the e-liquid, and not much more can be added. All that remains is to tell you that this one matches its description 100%!
It is simply the best-tasting cinnamon flavored e-liquid you will ever taste.
Conclusion – In a class by itself. Here is another offering by Nicoticket that goes far beyond any other Cinnamon flavored e-liquids.
Score – 10/10 all the way. This one represents the apex of e-liquid flavorings.
Excerpts from Interview with Clark – Owner, Proprietor, and Mixologist of Nicoticket.com
[/FONT][/SIZE]Tesseract: I've been wondering how everything tastes so great out of the mail! Its awesome that you steep before shipping, and a shame more companies don't do the same.
Clark: Pre-steeping has drawbacks in terms of flexibility (IE, variable PG/VG ratios, flavor shots, etc) - but I think the pros out weight the cons. Most don't do it because they offer too many flavors and steeping large quantities of liquid takes lots of space.
T: When did you open the doors, start the business? Was there any moment in time where you had a revelation like, “I may be onto something here. . .?”
C: Katy has a way about her when it comes to me... she will "suggest" something, repeatedly, until I am activated and set "into motion." Once I am going in a direction with purpose, I'm pretty relentless. In any event, one night she said "I'd like to quit smoking and I keep hearing about these eCigarette things, would you look into it?" Go figure, by that evening I had ordered a pair of Vision Spinner 1300mah Batteries and a pair of Kanger T3 clearos. I also ordered some liquid from REDACTED and REDACTED Vapor. I actually got buyer's remorse on the REDACTED Vapor purchase (because I was flat broke at the time) and ended up canceling that order (funny story, it showed up regardless). Go figure, the hardware showed up before the liquid so I just had to go down to the local vape shop and get some liquid so I could get started right away. I walked out with a 50ml bottle of Mad Chai in 24mg - ghastly liquid. I was so disappointed in the experience that I almost immediately purchased a bunch of supplies to DIY - I was so angry, I was bound and determined not to give those .......s another dollar of my money. I thought I had done my due diligence and sampled enough that I could be confident I would be able to finish the bottle, but I ditched the Mad Chai the moment the REDACTED and the REDACTED Vapor showed up. One thing that took me by surprise was the "simplicity" of the labeling - pretty straight forward on both accounts. It was evident to me that REDACTED was better tasting, so I went on a hunt to figure out what made REDACTED different that REDACTED, and what made them both different than the local B&M.
