Crew juice is a line of e-liquid from Big Lou of the youtube channel, Big Lou's East Coast Review. The name 'Crew Juice' refers to his loyal youtube subscribers, whom he refers to as his 'crew'. Crew Juice currently has four flavors in the line, and each one is available in nicotine strengths of 0, 1.5, 3 and 6 milligrams per milliliter, and is available at BLECR.com. The price for 30 ml's is $19.99. The bottles I received are 1.5 mg's, and all are maximum VG only. It's a molasses-thick juice that's made for dripping on sub-ohm coils.
I've been a Big Lou subscriber for nearly a year (full disclosure: I'm in the crew), and I've always found him to be a very straightforward and honest reviewer. If you don't mind salty language and a totally East Coast vibe, then I strongly recommend Big Lou's channel; especially for those of you interested in sub-ohm builds and box mods. Besides hardware and juice reviews, he often does giveaways and contests; as well as some in-depth tutorials on everything from battery safety and mod maintenance to copper and brass patinas.
And lastly, before getting on to the review, I'd thank to thank Big Lou (again) for the juice. He sent the whole line to me for free, and without solicitation. In fact, I didn't even know they were coming until I opened the box. Anyway, on to the flavors!
W'UBBLELICIOUS
Sweet and smooth pink bubblegum with a watermelon finish. I found this flavor subtle and light, and very good. Like all great flavors from our childhood, every hit brings a rush of memories and nostalgia. For me, this brings me back to riding my bike to 7-11, buying candy and gum, and then going to the park to enjoy my sugary bounty in peace. The pink bubblegum dances across the tongue delightfully on the inhale, and the watermelon, which is a bubblegum watermelon - sweet, not tart - is very refreshing on the exhale. This is easily an all day vape, as the flavors aren't at all overpowering, and they don't leave an aftertaste.
I'm vaping this juice, as I do with all my RDA juices, on a .6 ohm single coil made from 8 wraps of 24 g Kanthal with an ID of 2 mm. If I take a longer hit, thus heating the coil more like it would be at lower resistances, then the flavor really pops. My guess is that these juices were made to be vaped on dual coils with resistances around the .3 and lower mark, but even at .6 on a single coil, they're delicious.
FADED APPLE
The description for this juice on the BLECR site is spot-on. Cookie crumb pie crust with a muted sweet, red apple. It might sound like a surprising twist to lower the intensity of the apple in an apple pie juice, but it totally works. Faded Apple is luscious and mouth-watering. The cookie crumb crust is predominant on the inhale, giving way to the relatively faint notes of cinnamon and brown sugar. Midway through, the sweet apple note comes through - smallish and in the background, but important and welcome, and in perfect balance with all the other flavors. It shines through at just the right 'volume', so to speak, so as not to overpower anything else; and the results are stunning.
Also, I'd just like to take a moment here to talk to you about... clouds. The vapor production of Crew Juice is just about as good as it gets. I'm running this on single coil and when I exhale, the thick fog just goes on and on. Just huge, heavy clouds.
BIG LOUPES
This was the first juice of Big Lou's that I ever tried, when it was just a homemade concoction. I received a bottle of it for winning a contest. Within a few days I found myself writing Big Lou and telling him that, to my surprise, this was the best juice I'd ever tasted. Every build I put it on was fantastic, though a dual parallel build at 0.3 ohms seemed to be the sweet spot. I've tasted a couple other fruity cereal flavors out there, and this is by far my favorite version. It's just the right mix of ingredients. The sweet dairy note is more like cream than milk to my palate, making this a substantial, rich vape.
BLUE COCO
If you haven't already guessed by the name, this juice is a mixture of blueberry and coconut. It took an extra couple of weeks to steep, in order for me to taste the coconut. I've noticed before that coconut flavors seem to fall a little short with me, and this one did too, at first. But once it matured, the coconut came through in a perfect combination with the sweet blueberries. It's one of those flavor pairings that blends, rather than splitting into two distinct flavors. Very satisfying and not overly sweet.
Well that wraps up the Crew Juice line. Great juice, all of it. Go get some!
