If you have read any of my other reviews of eliquid from this company then you will know Freakyvape are a Polish manufacturer with many interesting ranges of "shake and vape" e-liquid ranges, the Dark Horse Range consists of the following flavours:
USA TOBACCO
DESERT TOBACCO
VIRGINIA TOBACCO
RED TOBACCO
CHERRY TOBACCO
VANILLA TOBACCO
NOUGAT TOBACCO
I received all 7 flavours to both try and give my thoughts about, below is Freakyvapes introduction to the range:
DARK HORSE 20ml
SHAKE AND VAPE, SHORT FILL ELIQUIDS
Liquids have been created with the highest quality ingredients, to meet the requirements of an increasingly demanding market. Liquids are suitable for both high end and low end equipment users. DARK HORSE liquids contain 50% PG and 50% VG. Shake and vape e-juice is a non nicotine liquid.
To get e-liquid you need to add 10ml of nicotine shot. It is recommended to use a base three times stronger than expected.

The liquids i received came in 30ml gorilla bottles with 20ml of extra strength e-liquid inside. This leaves space for 10ml of dilution to get the perfect strength. This gives a lot of options, one 18mg nicotine shots will give you 6mg or you could use half a nicotine shot with a further 5ml of PG or VG for a 3mg end liquid. If you have 72mg nicotine or you want 0mg they give you the versatility to keep the PG/VG ratio the same, have almost a 50/50 ratio or turn the juice into high VG.
Testing The E-Liquids
To test the e-liquids i treated all flavours the same adding 1ml of 72mg nicotine, 4ml of PG and 5ml of VG. This kept the same 50VG/50PG Ratio that the original e-liquids were and a nicotine strength of 2.4mg e-liquids to test.
Testing Equipment
I tested all 4 e-liquids on 2 sets of equipment. I also used fresh pre-wound coils for each test. The cotton i used was Jellyfish.
Equipment
Smok T-Priv with Geekvape Zeus 0.45 (+/- 0.01) fused clapton 30W
Smoant Cylon with Digiflavor Drop 0.23 (+/- 0.02) duel fused claptons 55W
These pictures are of the testing equipment used but are not taken at the time of testing.
Some of the Freakyvape's ranges can be complex an use unusual combinations but i don't believe a tobacco range benefits from being over complex and i was pleased to see Freakyvape seem to agree as the flavours are simple, most are identical on both inhale and exhale and some simply have the flavour of a fresh cigarette.
USA TOBACCO
The range starts off with this simple juice which has the flavour of an American gold leaf cigarette, stronger than some in the range but surprisingly the least dry of all the flavours.
9/10
DESERT TOBACCO
Clever, this juice as the taste of dried rolling tobacco and very authentic even to the point i found i needed to drink a pint of water after vaping this. It's a very pleasant tobacco flavour but leaves a dry taste in the mouth. Perfect for vaping when you are drinking fluids as it really is a nice mixed leafs tobacco flavour with a hint of nut but definitely not a ADV.
8.5/10
VIRGINIA TOBACCO
I was expecting this to be like Virginia leaf rolling tobacco but on both inhale and exhale the flavour is very much like a fresh mild english cigarette, the flavour reminds me most of the smell of Silk Cut.
9/10
RED TOBACCO
This juice is the strongest of the range and very much a blended tobacco flavour, this one unlike some in this range changes on the exhale which see's the juice have an even stronger tobacco flavour, ideal for those that smoked strong or unfiltered cigarettes.
8.5/10
CHERRY TOBACCO
A very simple juice, Virginia leaf with a hint of cherry in the background. Inhale and exhale identical and in my opinion the strength of the cherry is perfect. Simple but addictive and a good ADV. My wife backs my opinion up as she's pinched it.
9.5/10
VANILLA TOBACCO
Like the cherry tobacco very simple with inhale and exhale being identical. The strength of the vanilla is identical to the cherry in the previous juice and also Virginia leaf. This juice is ok but does not quite hit the mark like the cherry tobacco, but those who like vanilla more might well like it.
8/10
NOUGAT TOBACCO
Now this is right up my street, nougat flavour evident but very much in the background, hazelnut is very evident and the tobacco very much a Virginia rolling tobacco flavour, the exhale see's the hazelnut much stronger but the tobacco still rules. Very nice juice.
9.5/10
Conclusion
An excellent range of tobacco flavoured e-liquids, not a bad juice amongst them. My least favourite was Vanilla Tobacco and the picks were Cherry Tobacco and Nougat Tobacco.
I would like to thank Freakyvape for sending the Dark Horse range of e-liquids for the purpose of this review.
