Here's a review of three juices from CravinVapes. The company's e-liquids are relatively inexpensive at $12 for a 30ml bottle. I enjoyed two of the flavors and found one underwhelming. Full review and steeping notes here.

Here's a preview of the Innokin iTaste 134 (full text preview here). This is the most unique and distinct digital vaping device I've seen in 2013. The looks are cool and striking. That said, it's definitely not for everyone. It's easily the largest...

Here's a review of three Fancee Juice e-liquids. I really enjoyed the chocolate-based flavors and I'm generally not a fan of chocolate e-liquids -- there are so many bad ones out there. Fancee's chocolate is rich without being overly sweet. Pina...

Pralines and Cream is very good -- a nice blend of nuttiness, creaminess, and sweetness.

Very, very impressed by the Innokin iTaste VV 3.0. In my opinion, it's the best small vaping device on the market today. The variable-wattage performance gives it a big edge. Detailed text review here.

Here's a review of three juices from American eLiquid. One unique aspect of the company is that it gives vapers incentive to vape 0mg juices. Its 0mg e-liquids are $10 than the 36mg juices and $5 cheaper than the other nicotine levels. As for the...

Here's a photo of the iTaste VV 3.0. The "Express" kit comes with a battery and charging cable. The full kit includes that and five iClear 16 clearomizers. It doesn't have the pen cap used in the last two iterations, but it does add a variable wattage setting and an ohm meter. I'm going to put...
Here are some photos and impressions on Planet Vape, a new shop in Glendora, CA. The lounging area is comfy and cool, the hardware selection is killer, and the juice choices are solid. I was really floored by all the high-end mechanicals available, as well as the RBA supplies -- very unusual for...
Last week I spent two days solely on vaping. On Wednesday, I took ECF supplier thecatspajamas on a tour of the LA vape shops. He started a new company called Envision Vapor and is trying to get his glass vaping tips in stores. They're beautiful products that are well made, so he had an easy time...
Yesterday I dropped by the newest vape shop in Los Angeles -- Viper Vapor LA. It has a fun and relaxed vibe. The hardware choice are good, with more advanced mods and RBAs arriving in the near future. The juice selection could be better. Black Label Vape is the best vendor they have, but there's...
Here's a feature on Vapor Stands, a new California company that offers handmade e-cig holders made from cherry, oak, and walnut woods. I saw the company's stands when I interview Brian from The Vapor-Mart. They caught my eye and I got in touch the owner of the company. It was fun hearing about...

Here's a review of three e-liquids from E-Juice Plus. I wouldn't say that any of them are great, but they're relatively inexpensive at a hair under $20 for a 60ml bottle. All of these juices had mild to moderate flavors, so I wouldn't recommend them...

Here's a review of three finely crafted e-liquids from Goodejuice. All three are part of the company's "House Brewed" line and use natural extracted tobacco (NET). If you're a vaper that's looking for authentic tobacco taste then you should definitely...
