Oooh my juice arrived today!
OK so - I haven't tried them all yet - so I can't do a complete review but I have dipped into two so Ill review those. Gear being used: New 510 attys (yes I broke out new ones just for you), dripping on a 3.7v PT and all of these are 16mg nic.
First up - I'll start with a negative and its not really about the juice. The bottles while being lovely, very sturdy and the most childproof I have ever seen, with a ton of info about what to do/not to do/safety info, are really REALLY hard to use for direct dripping. I managed to flood my atty at least twice,(something I haven't done in a while) and generally get juice everywhere, on my desk, my hands, down the side of the PV..ick. If I might suggest a better 'top' (perhaps something with a graduated pointy tip) rather than the recessed tips currently on them? Also, while I have no issue waiting on gravity to help with the dripping, (glass bottle, squeezing not an option) I couldn't see it coming out due to the tip of the bottle being the shape/size it is. I was therefore a bit irritated before I even tried any tastes because of the mess.
With that out of the way lets begin with:
Cafe Sumatra:
Wow - it really smells like strong coffee. I've not actually had the real thing its named after so this was a bit of an adventure
Once I'd managed to get some onto the bridge (see above, sigh) and vaped on it I noticed the smell was very close to the taste. Very coffee like - perhaps the most coffee like taste Ive ever vaped, and not in the least bit fake. There some other taste in there, but I can't place it - some spice perhaps? Its nice though.
I'd have to say that this is a winner - it also lasted a LONG time - longer than other juices I've used (which is just as well as re-dripping is going to be an issue and I think I'm going to have to decant the juice into a different bottle)
Theres a good amount of vapor btw.
Liked this a lot. Keep going back to it in fact lol
Spiced Rum:
Again good vapor but the rum taste seems quite mellow and I can taste what seems to be ainise - or some kind of aniseed spice in there. I'm not a fan of aniseed unfortunatley so thats a bit of a minus for me, but its not unpleasant at all - surprisingly, to me, I quite enjoy the flavor after a few vapes on it. I do wish the rum was a little more present though, but that's likely a personal taste thing, rather than the an issue with the liquid lol. The ingredients say theres vanilla and cocoa in it too but I can't taste those at all - perhaps they will come through after I get more used to it.
VS4
Had enough time to break this one open too and try it.
Nothing wrong with this one, and it had the most TH of all the flavors imo. Not overly sweet (that will be a plus for many I'm sure), definite tobacco flavor comes through, and the exhale is slightly 'perfumed' (Its not perfume tasting or smelling, Im just using the word in its 'odor' sense) but not stinky tobacco smelling. This one could be a 'need a cig' vape, and a 'with beer or coffee' vape.
I can see me buying the Cafe sumatra again - it really is a lovely coffee taste (dark coffee, with a hint of other things, all very nice); not so sure about the others yet but nothing was unpleasant. I think the spiced rum may be something that grows on me, but I do prefer a stronger rum flavor myself. I hope you all found those reviews balanced and fair, I tried to make them so
