vape Dudes Banana tobacco, US, 50/50 PG/VG[/h]

posted to VaporRater.com 05.08.2012
There are a fair number of banana tobacco blends out there, but this has to be one of my favorites. As with most tobacco based juice, this one does require a fair amount of time to steep before the flavors meld, but once it comes together, it's magic. Mixing fruit and tobacco can be tricky business as the bold tobacco flavor can easily overpower the delicate fruit leaving behind little more than a sweet aftertaste. This liquid is a notable exception. The natural sweetness of the Vape Dudes tobacco enhances the candy-like banana flavor used in this liquid and the two flavors go together beautifully, although I would have preferred to taste just touch more banana in the mix. The overall result is bold, yet sweet and fruity delivering an excellent throat hit and tremendous clouds of vapor. While probably not an all-day everyday vape for me, it will have a happy home very high up in the rotation.

Vape Dudes Blue Jitsu, US, 50/50 PG/VG[/h]posted to VaporRater.com 05.04.2012
The Blue Jitsu is described by Vape Dudes as a coconut kiwi with a splash of apple and lots of blueberry. About the blueberry, they really aren't kidding. There is tons of blueberry in this juice, in a very good way. It's not the candy-like blueberry, but rather a very natural tasting flavor reminiscent of blueberry pie. It isn't overly sweet or sticky on the palate although the flavor does tend to linger on your tongue a bit. The throat hit is surprisingly good for a such a fruity juice and vapor production is, as usual for the Vape Dudes, outstanding. The blueberry does hijack the juice muting the other flavors a bit. The apple seems to be a sour apple and is definitely riding shotgun on this juice, with both the kiwi and coconut taking a back seat to the more pronounced flavors. I would like to taste a little more coconut, but overall, this juice is another winner from the Vape Dudes.

Vape Dudes Swedish Fish, US, 50/50 PG/VG[/h]

posted to VaporRater.com 05.02.2012
There isn't a whole lot of scent that comes off the Vape Dudes Swedish Fish, just a pleasant hint of sweetness. The taste however is almost dead on. The funny thing about Swedish Fish is there is a fair amount of debate as to what flavor they actually are. A few minutes of online research will yield guesses galore like cherry, raspberry, fruit punch, and even lingonberry, but the truth is, it's a unique flavor unto itself and this juice manages to hit all the right notes to reproduce the flavor in remarkable fashion. A flavor like Swedish fish has the potential to be overly sweet but this one manages to keep it light enough to be an enjoyable vape. As often happens with candy flavored juice, the throat hit leaves just a little something to be desired here, but excellent vapor production and spectacular flavor accuracy easily put this one in the after dinner rotation.

Accuracy of Flavor – 5/5
Flavor Density – 5/5
Throat hit – 3/5
Vapor Production – 5/5

nice reviews.

I got about a dozen Vapedudes juices a few weeks ago. So far the ones I've tried are:

-Coconut Cream - the best juice I've ever had. creamy coconut? check

-Apple Ice Menthol - a decent flavor

-Chocolate Cherry Bomb - wasnt crazy about it at first, but over time the more it steeps the better it gets

-Blue Honey - read a lot of reviews that rave about this flavor, not for me I guess. a little artificial tasting

-Vanilla Mint - the latest flavor I've started using from my order with Vapedudes. absolutely love it. perfect combo of vanilla and mint.

Still have a ton more flavors to try. Dripped a few that were promising. Orange cream, bavarian cream, grand prarie tobacco, lemonade

Overall I like Vapedudes and will have to try some of the flavors you suggested as well as the top ones I've enjoyed. I will definitely be re-ordering Coconut cream, Vanilla Mint, and probably a few other.

Oh, and my ratios are 70pg/30vg at 18 mg

their orange cream is awesome too

I agree, as a whole, I like VapeDudes, but I have a couple reviews up on the website that didn't do so hot, most notably, their Cherry Ice. It tasted just like Sucrets cough drops.

 

[comeonhitme]

i have yet to find a cherry i like. every single one tastes like cough medicine. anyone have a GOOD cherry flavor to suggest?

 

[chefjosh]

I know they're out there...the cherry cola from juicy vapor had a very good cherry flavor and Rawr has a great cherry in their Lazarus, which a cherry limeade. Neither of those have even a hint of cough drop flavor. But as far as a standalone cherry, I haven't had a good one. I did have a decent black cherry from DIYer tho.

My fav from Vape Dudes is S'mores but then I got into menthol and ordered Chocolate Ice and Pure Menthol Ice. Haven't gotten them yet, will let you know if I like them or not.

Please let me know what you think...always helpful to have some feedback before buying. I bet the s'mores is really good. I reviewed their Key Lime Pie here and I was really impressed with the graham cracker flavor they used to hint at a crust. Plus, who doesn't like S'mores?!?

I got the Vape Dudes Chocolate Ice and Pure Menthol very quickly and have tried them out.

I REALLY love the Chocolate Ice, it has a strong menthol taste, the chocolate is secondary. The Pure Menthol is very good but I prefer a little bit of other flavor mixed in and not just all menthol but I can add this to other mixes.

Thanks for the update Melly710. I will have to make a note to try to get some hands on the Chocolate Mint. I haven't really had a truly spectacular chocolate flavor that is able to simulate the creaminess of the real thing, but I'm not afraid to keep trying!

I always have a bottle of some sort of pure menthol or ice on hand for mixing into other juices. I find it makes for a nice palate cleanser when your taste buds have pooped out on you. Especially when mixed with a nice light fruit flavor like a natural watermelon.

I will have try them out soon thanks for the reviews

I have 13 samples coming from these guys. I wish they had smaller samples than 10ml, but I am curious about a few of the flavors I have coming. The first order coupon code helped, though, too.

 

[niterider]

Thanks I just ordered 3 samples from them: Blue Jitsu, Vanilla Coffee, & Orange Cream. In Hindsight, I should have bought the ICE line since I seem to like the fruit and Menthol combo.

Did you get them yet Kia2? Love to hear your thoughts and what you ordered. Yeah...that coupon code helped me out a whole lot too when I placed my first order for reviews. Wish I could use it over and over.

I really like the Blue Jitsu. Lemme know what you think of the others when you get them.

The Ice flavors from VD that I've had were okay, but not spectacular. The Cherry Ice was a total disaster, however. It just tasted like cough drops...and my least favorite brand at that, Sucrets. But I've heard great things about their Fire & Ice so it's on the list for the next time I order from them for reviews.

I got my first order in from Vape Dudes about 2 weeks ago. I did not know about steeping at the time, and since they make the juice to order, I was not impressed with many of them right out of the mailbox. However they got better and better with time.

I got a pretty large sampler order, 11 flavors in all. here is a brief run down. All were 50/50 mix at 12mg with extra flavor.

Totally Watermelon - Light watermelon flavor but natural. I wanted more flavor and added a bit a Stevia sweetener which made into a nice jolly rancher type of flavor.

Mocha Java Drizzle: Hated this one out of the box. I let it steep and came back to it a week later and could then taste the dark unsweetened coffee and hints of the chocolate. Better but needed more flavor. I added .5ml of Vapor Rooms Dutch Cholate to the remaining 8 ml bottle and it woke it up nicely. Creamy dark roast coffee flavor now with a delicious back note of dark chocolate.

Peach Cobbler: Again not impressed at first. Thought it was just ok. I was getting some natural peach but no cobbler. 2 weeks later and it is awesome all day vape material! I get all the notes of a good peach cobbler out of it.

Blue Honey: Love the smell on this one! Just like fresh blueberry donuts. I liked it right away but didn't love it. Still feel the same way about it now.

Strawberry lemonade: Good lemonade flavor but didn't get any strawberry when fresh. Now I get light strawberry on the inhale and good solid lemonade on the exhale. Downside is that it leaves my tastebuds all confused and everything tastes like lemon after a half hour on this or more. I save it for before bed or when nothing is tasting good anyway LoL.

Maple Island: I really like this one after a week of steeping. Maple long john flavor on inhale with a smooth tobacco exhale. Flavor is changing on me tho now after two weeks. Losing the strong maple and almost more of a rum taste replaced it. Pity.

Buttery Nipple: I am not a big butterscotch fan but this is good from the get go. Light and not over powering butterscotch flavor that reminds me of the Brachs candy. A winner if you like butterscotch, might not be enough flavor for hardcore lovers.

Banana Mama: Just plain Bananas. No twang tho like many other banana flavors I have tried. It does what it says it does but always leaves me a little flat like it needs to be mixed with something else to be really great.

Apple Pie Alamode: Hated this right out of the mailbox. Added a touch of sweetener and a week later it is my hands down favorite! Crazy huh? Apple pie filling complete with lots of cinnamon and brown sugar. At the 2 week mark now, I am just getting the creamyiness of the ice cream on the exhale. Still no taste of crust really but it has such a wonderful base flavor that I don't even care.

Pina Colada: This was one of the only two losers for me. Didn't like it out of the bottle at all. So much so that I have not even tried it again after two weeks. I will though this week. Initially I got a hint of the coconut and pineapple but it was overwhelmed by a horrible cottony taste that I couldn't shake.

Turtle Cheesecake: I wanted to love this one but after two weeks and even adding sweetener, I just don't. It has little to no flavor to me and what little bit there is just muddy.

As always, taste is so subjective. My wife and I have almost total opposite taste in juice but we both agreed that Vape Dudes had more winners than losers and so far is the best of the 11 vendors we have tried.

 

[player30]

I ordered four from them--grape, summer blues, black razz & lemon ice.

The lemon ice is really good.
