Dailymotion - Video Review : Totally Wicked 24mg Hilton Flavor, a video from Terraphon. smoke, juice, e-liquid, evo, style

This is a review of the 24mg Hilton flavored e-liquid from Totally Wicked

Flavor - 8
Boldness - Mild to Medium
Vapor - 8
Throat hit - 8
Overall - 8

All reviews are done with the following process.

1) I will use a clean, fresh atomizer. Blown out, rinsed, drained, blown out again and then "cooked off" to make sure NO LIQUID is left on the internal wick
2) I will use a newly stuffed cart. Brand new blank for all intents and purposes - Cart topped off with the liquid being reviewed. No re-used carts.
3) There will be 2 drops of liquid placed on the metal wick of the atomizer
4) I will always use a freshly charged battery.
5) If the liquid is a stated flavor (Coffee, Strawberry, Vanilla, Pineapple, Cola etc...) and does not match the flavor it is advertised to be an automatic 2 point deduction will be made to the "flavor" score. If it says "Cherry", I want to taste cherry.
6) Boldness is a non numerical score and will describe the amount of flavor in a product. This will go toward the overall score. If a product is too weak or too strong it will detract from the overall score. If it's just right, it will add to the score.
7) NEW GUIDELINE : All reviews will be done in 2 parts, combined in to one video. The first part will contain initial impressions with no scores. After this I will take an hour or so to vape the product on multiple sets of gear and get a good, rounded, overall feel for the product via carts, dripping, mods, etc...I will then record the numerical scores and combine the videos.

Review categories:

Flavor : 1 - 10 (1= Horrible. Akin to tossing Jabba the Hutt's salad...10= Heavenly. This stuff tastes AMAZING. )
Boldness : Flavorless, Weak, Fairly weak, Mild to Medium, Medium, Medium to strong, Strong, Very Strong, Overbearing
Vapor Production : 1-10 (1= No vapor at all...10=Marlboro 100 at below 0...CLOUDS of vapor.)
Throat hit : 1-10 (1= No sensation at all...Just like breathing only more frustrating...10= Equal to or better than a real cigarette)
Overall : 1-10 (Includes all of the above plus personal impressions relating to the liquid.)

Scoring :

1-2 : Unbearable. DO NOT BUY THIS STUFF.
3-4 : Poor. Useable but not recommended. There's something that's not right and it kills the entire experience.
5-6 : Average. There's nothing that sets this liquid aside. It's not great but it's not bad. Good enough to vape on a regular basis.
7-8 : Good - You can feel confident buying this juice. It does what it's supposed to do and it does it very well.
9-10 : Amazing! - THIS is the stuff that will kill tobacco smoking. Simply put, an amazing puff that's well worth the money.

Nicely done. What was the tangent you went off on for 6 minutes? Will it make another video? Just curious.

excellent review.... wasn't sure if I wanted to try it or not but I might now.

BTW, did you get a hair cut?

Nah, it won't make a video...I was thinking out loud, really...It started with me saying "You know...I've been thinking" and then just kinda carrying on about how I think it would be better to take some time with the product after doing an initial impression.

Thus-far, I haven't been wrong...That is to say that I still agree with my original scores, after getting a chance to use the liquids but I can see that there's a possibility for an initial impression to change...Maybe the flavor was a little strong or more subtle than I originally thought. Maybe the throat hit was a bit harsher (or a bit lighter) after I've had a drink. Maybe the juice didn't have time to soak into the atomizer fully before I said the vapor was weak.

I'm absolutely dead set on doing "initial impressions" because I don't think a truer statement can be made...those are the comments and impressions we don't get to think about and come up with tactful explanations for. I also want to have the thought out, well presented, rationalized review scores, though.

That's basically what I was on about and I think it's going to be a very good thing. It will make all of my reviews that much more objective.

excellent review.... wasn't sure if I wanted to try it or not but I might now.

Yeah...I was turning into a hippie...needed to break out the headblade.

Good review Terr, i pretty much agree with your scores on this one, i picked this liquid up myself about 2 weeks ago..

[Terraphon]

Yeah, I really dig this stuff. I like that it's nice and subtle without being weak and whimpy. I want to taste the juice but I don't want to get beat up by it...So far, TW's juices have done a good job of that (I've only had the tobacco stuff, so far).

I hear that their non-tobacco flavors are more bold than the tobacco stuff but are just right in that department...not too bold, not too mild.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. This is going to make me go broke.

Heads up for you and Rita (she had his in her TW liq video too)... not sure if the TW has the same clear plastic topper that JC has under the childproof cap.. but if it is... and there is a hole in the middle of it... I have figured it out (tho I am sure I am not the 1st)!!! If you turn it upside down.. nothing drips out... BUT if you stick the end of the dropper/squeezer in the hole (squeeze out air first) and flip the bottle upside down and release the squeezy part... the liquid sucks into the dropper and you can keep the plastic thing on... which is AWESOME for me cause I am such a klutz I have lost at least 20 ML of juice due to spillage cause I am an idiot! Anyway... if it has no hole in the middle.... then I am still an idiot... and oooops

yes, there is a hole in it.

I'll have to try that once I get my shipment from US plastics because that's just BAD ASS.

Thanks for the info

Good stuff, Terraphon.

I'm going to be getting 2 different flavor's from TW - Menthol and Camel. Maybe soon we'll have the whole list on video review!

[Calaban]

I really like the Hilton from TW. In fact both of the liquids I have tried from them - Camel 24mg and Hilton 36mg - get high marks. I'm expecting the Hilton to be my 3rd favorite liquid, but it is my first 36mg strength and I think it's a bit too strong.

I plan on cutting it with Glycerin and I'm hoping it won't kill the flavor, which I like very much. I have not tried cutting with Glycerin yet, so I'm sure there will be some trial and error.

But I definitely recommend the Hilton if you're looking for a good "tobacco" flavor.
