I'm very surprised to do a search and not see many reviews or Rawr Vapor, then again I'm not so surprised, part of me doesn't want the word to get out either so I get keep all this delicious juice to myself. There are no shortage of reviews on the rawr website though - there are literally dozens and dozens of ranting and raving reviews screaming about how good the juice is. Plus there's many popping up on youtube - including the epic PBusardo's that had me ordering peach green tea half way through the vid (though I'd like to see him do the entire hawaii series underater a la Mahalo Oahu...PB...if your reading this
.
I'm not the best at describing flavors - I just know I love them when I do, so I'll keep my juice specific reviews short and to the point. But I do have to say in general that trying rawr for me was like stepping into a new world of vaping. It changed everything - vaping V2.0.
Big Thanks to JeffGlenellen for letting me know about this awesome vendor.
The menthol
I've been vaping for about almost a year now, and you can tell by my avatar throat hit has always been what gives me the big smile. One thing that might turn people off from rawr reviews is all the hype about menthol - there's a menthol option on the site with a couple different menthol strengths to choose from - they know their menthol,, their big on their menthol, and they encourage everyone to mentholate everything. I was never big on menthol. I never thought I would be a fan of menthol. I also never thought I could transition from 18mg to 12mg eliquid...until I tried rawr...mentholated. The flavors go so amazingly well with a menthol kick (I use the 2% "is there menthol in this?" option) I don't even think of it as menthol, I think of it as vaping on a whole new level. 12mg is now like 18mg to me (though how much I vape now, if it were 18mg I would have overdosed by now) the secret is in the menthol, it gives this extra kick - without really even being there (the 2% at least, I haven't tried any higher).
Juices I've tried (all 2% "is there menthol" option)
(just a note - I'm reviewing most of these juices post-mortem, I'm all out of some of them. Which is one of the reasons I'm writing this as, there's no greater feeling of anxiety than being almost all out of your favorite juices. And since the pv never leaves your hand...it's all you think about...)
*Some are so good they've bursted through the traditional rating scale. The ratings here also should be considered relative to Rawr and Rawr only. IMO Rawrs in it's own class - some of the things I rated lower are only lower relative to other rawr juices, had I never tried those juices chances are the ones I rated lower would be my 5 star juices.
Lime in da coconut
From Rawrs "Serum" series - these juices have a coconut cream base with different fruits - the most famous being Truth Serum with pear. But the lime is by far my favorite. This is my go to vape. It's incredible. Vaping it right now in a freshly coiled phoenix rebuildable with pure organic cotton wick and I'm in vape heaven. One thing to note though is this juice is pretty dark, the wick won't last as long as it would with a clear liquid. The flavor though? I wouldn't even know there was a coconut cream base in it if it weren't stated in the description (this goes for all the serums I've tried). It's so subtle - and the way it mixes with the other flavors just makes it a whole new experience. Ever hear the saying "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts"?. thats what all the rawr juices are to me, you can't ping the flavors down to their constitutes. With this the lime is prominent but the backround flavors blend it into something else entirely. Nice mellow, sweet and perfect but slight lime taste - the sweetness comes on initial inhale, and is still there but more subtle under the cool exhale from the menthol. Throat hit - is as stated above, close to an 18mg juice for me. But it's different, it's not that harsh sensation - more of a cool kick from the little bit of menthol. Vapor production is great - I blow out clouds and the blend is 70/30 (you can pick your ratio). Creamy lime deliciousness. A must try for limelovers (minefield...you must)
6/5
banana cream pie
Another one I have to put right at the top of my review. One I'm unfortunatley all out of and can't wait to get my hand on some more. First thing I need to mention is the TH. It's reckless on this one -I almost didn't believe it was 12mg. Felt like true 18 or slightly above. I got this with the 2% menthol. Pie with menthol you say?? Trust me, this is rawr. get rid of any preconceived notions you have of menthol juices, it just works, I don't know why but it does. This is like a cool frozen slice out of the fridge with the menthol. Cool whipped cream topping and banana, with that little extra super subtle caramelly crumb on the back of the throat. This juice is heavenly - but a little devilly with the reckless throat hit. A must try.
6/5
truth serum
Just check the reviews on rawr for this truth serum, this ones created a cult following. I love this juice now but it took some getting use to for me. Truth serum shares the coconut cream of the serum series but uses pear as the main fruit kicker. At first I could not understand it, pear in a juice was so foreign to me, but I vaped a way on it and it got to me. I can't really describe the pear flavor...I mean, we're talking about breathing these things in - I can't quite name the flavors in my lungs. But this juice is amazing. The pear is really solid - it captures you for a moment - takes your whole mouth and kind of stalls it - everything pauses. Then on final inhalation you get a kick of the sweet followed by cool clouds. TH is on par with the lime, it's solid, above average with the menthol. Vapor is huge at 70/30. Top notch juice.
5/5
green peach tea
Another juice with amazing throat hit. a little stronger than the serums I find but not quite as much as the banana cream pie. This one I'm all out of as well right now, I really don't want to think about this juice, but alas a review. A would use this as my tobacco replacement juice as crazy as that sounds. It gives me the same satisfactory sensation, could be the aromatic but dry green tea leaf flavor. Peach on top of that. Subtle though and so well blended. No candy peach overpowering things. Just a perfect balanced slightly slightly sweet with a touch of honey and just enough peach. Menthol kick makes it work so so well. above average throat hit, vapor clouds, and perfect flavor. PBusardo really does a great review of this juice - check it on youtube. I love this juice.
6/5
Peachy melons
Quick review as I didn't get much time with this but it stands out in my mind. Rawr sent me this as a free sample in a small bottle. It was 6mg with 2% menthol, I believe 70/30. All I remember was this juice was insane - SO JUICY! Just a flavor BURST that would EXPLODE in your mouth. I'll be ordering a huge bottle of this next time. Throat hit was outstanding on this as well, I remember thinking the 6mg was satisfying enough for me throat hit wise - I would have never dreampt that before as I started as a pure 24mg guy. But this juice was just waaay too perfect. Incredible.
6/5
Screaming Mammaries and Raging .....
Well all reviews can't be good. I lump these two together for the same reason since they had the same problem to me. I've been on the hunt for a good coffee juice - I don't mean by flavor - flavorwise these were great (though I might opt out of the menthol for these) I mean the way coffee vapes stand up to high heat. The only times I've had good coffee capes have been on the tiny kr808 battery I started with. It seems when you step into 4+ volt territory the wheels fall off. I've heard this sentiment echoed before in the forums when I was searching to find a decent coffee vape. They just don't hold up under high heat, you get the dreaded burnt taste. One of the things rawr talks about in their company description is how they couldn't find juices that held up to high voltage so they started making their own. I can see that with the rest of the juices but not these ones. Due to that decription I thought I found a coffee vape that could work for me. Not a chance, onto the auction pile with the rest of the coffee vapes.
In defense of these juices though - this is my experience with ALL coffee vapes. If you've been having luck with coffee vapes because of some kind of crazy amazing set-up or because you use lower wattage - try them out by all means. Once I reloaded them into new carts and just used low voltage the flavor was great - but it felt not near it's potential since I couldn't get the heat. I would have been using this in a boge sr using a vv btw. So I tried a few different settings.
2/5 - I've given up on coffees. If your reading this and know of a coffee vape that stands up to higher watt - please do share
Peach serum and Serenity
These are both from the serum series but I'm going to lump them together. They were both my least favorite of the serums I tried - but they had a very high bar to reach since lime and Truth were knock-out delicious. Peach serum was lighter and more mild, less in your face flavor, which is good for an all day vape for some - but I like a bit more kick, and the peach wasn't quite strong enough for my liking. A little more peach flavor and this juice would be amazing, flavor was just a little too weak. Throat hit was good though, on par with the other serums above. PBusardo gives a review of this juice as well but he likes it so much he gives it a street shout out, can't say I was as impressed. But I'd still rather vape it than almost any juice from any other vendor.
Serenity on the other hand, well the flavors almost blended too good for my likeing. I would have liked the raspberry just a little more distinct. this is a very dark juice as well. Then again it's not called "raspberry in da coconut", it's called serentiy. I wanted a touch more raspberry, probably because I'm being super picky now since I'm comparing them to Truth Serum and Lime in Da' coco, If I don't think about those juices...
So I have to give them at least 4.3/5 . The serums are in a class of their own.
Poison
top notch tabacco. At first I was put off by it (having been use to an other vendors excellent line of tobacco - but all quite similar in base). But after getting use to this poison became one of my favorite tobaccos. There's a very distinct, strong flavor to this - the poison! It's right on par with that kind of chemically nasty taste we all hate to love from our cigarette days. I think this could be a perfect analog replacement vape, perfect for newbies, or perfect for vets who want to revisit their smokey days without lighting up. the throat kick is superb. Brilliant actually. The "poison" flavor is dominant - but it's a nice rich layered tobacco, on exhale you get some other tobacco nuances. Highly recomended, I think this would be staple for those craving a true analog experience, easy all day vape for that.
5.9/5
Hawaii Sunrise
When I want to escape to another place, I go to the hawaii sunrise. Can't do that this moment since I ran out 3 days ago, but ahhhhh hawaii sunrise, your still with me in dreams. there's a whole "hawaii" line like the serum line. This juice in particular has a distinct banana taste amidst the backdrop of a tropical delight. It's very refreshing, I like this as a quencher on a burning hot day. The banana just tastes so good, so natural - no artificial crappy banana here - this is the good stuff. I get a little pinapple and coconut dancing in the backround - but not distinct, once again they blend together so well they create something beyond the ingredients anyone will list. Throat hit is perfect for me, with the menthol kick it comes out stronger than your usual dose as stated in the rest of the reviews - but remember it's not a "harsh" extra throat hit - it's that extra cool kinda crisp feeling. This is another knock out. Pure bliss in a bottle, pure ecstasy on an atomizer.
5.8/5
JY4
My god, creamy, buttery, tobacco goodness. My favorite RY4 to date (and I've tried many of the top rated RY4's out there). It's on the sweet side of the RY4's but not overdone - somewhere in the middle just where I like it. I got this with the menthol so I can't typical RY4 nuanced distinctions. But I crave this one, so damn good it's not even funny. Let a friend try this (who's not a vaporizer, lucky I had all rawr on me that day - now he's sold on e-cigs) and he wouldn't give it back. This buttery caramel ry4 perfection, with the menthol it's out of this world. Awesome throat hit, clouds of vape. Top notch vape.
6/5
Summary
If you'd feel bad leaving your current go-to juice vendor, don't try rawr!
Serious.
I can't say enough about these juices. Nothing can compare to them, they're in a league of their own. Mike at Rawr has created something unique and fresh - this stands out from all other juices I've tried. The juices are all so well blended - you can have the experience of experiencing complex nuanced flavors at every turn - or if your taste buds are more simple just a Damn Good Juice! There's nothing like Rawr, their simply the Best. More people need to know. The only problem, though I think it's just a temporary one, is Rawr stopped shipping internationally. So if your out of the US (like I am) you might be out of luck (but where theres a will theres a way, there's a little something called freight-forwarders.....).
thats a very long post review - hope it can be of help to some still on their juice search. I can happily say I'm finished buying tonnes of samples from other vendors, the search for the perfect juices is over! The rawr-inventory is massive as well so there's juices to try for days on days. He sells some other hardware and e-cigg accessories as well, which is nice when you just need a few things to get all in one with your juice. The site is also chalk full of people who give better, more specific reviews on the juices. I tried my best to be civil here, in true all I would normally say is: "Holy *#**+%! these sum goooooood juices!!"
Rawr - try em today and again... if you'd feel bad leaving your current go-to juice vendor, please disregard this review

but I mentholate my DIY juices, and I enjoy it on occcasion. One if my staples is just menthol juice. I like it when I get in a mood where I just don't want anything- you know, like when you are hungry and nothing sounds good?
