Howdy folks, Welcome to my never ending review on the weird and wonderful world of juice.
The aim here is to try and do a review on as many flavors and brands as possible until I find 'The One'.
I have been a vapeoholic ,to the extreme for over 2 months now and have posted up many, many flavors and brands for you to maybe use as a reference for when you see a flavor you are tempted to try, but please keep in mind, taste and opinion are very subjective and what may be right for me may not be right for you.
I will be fair and non biased at all times, I paid for all these liquids .
I'm just a regular guy who loves his ecig.
I will edit these as time goes on in case I try a lower/higher nicotine rate and am convinced that I was wrong the first time around, some get better as time goes on (steeping) so I will also edit these if I feel that I judged it too early.
Unfortunately with Totally Wicked, to get 1 bottle sent to Ireland which could fit in a little envelope costs a small fortune which is not right considering it is being sent from a neighboring country.
For this reason alone I will not be reviewing them which is a real shame as I genuinely would like to try their product.
So without further ado, let the games begin.
1/10 - I'm lucky to be alive.
2/10 - At least I didn't vomit.
3/10 - Don't waste your money, steeping is futile.
4/10 - I wouldn't recommend it.
5/10 - try same flavor by a different brand
6/10 - Not my cup of tea BUT but may be just right for you.
7/10 - pleased I tried it, would try it again with a different nicotine rate.
8/10 - would safely and happily recommend to others.
9/10 - So good, I would invest in a 30 mil bottle
10/10 - My 'Go-To' juice, one that I could sit there all day 'happy as Larry' vaping away.
*OMG Rated* - if poop tasted this good, I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• Hangsen
People are skeptical when it comes to ordering from Chinese companies and you can understand why (different regulations and standards, health and safety issues, foreign chemicals e.t.c.. )
But let's not forget that if it wasn't for the Chinese then we wouldn't even be vaping in the first place, so let's give it a chance (there is a guided tour of their factory on Youtube which I found reassuring)
Marlboro / USA Mix - 8/10 this sets the standard, I'd go for the 11-18 mg as it's the perfect balance for it. do not go higher as it will eat away the flavor and you simply won't enjoy it.
Marlboro / USA Mix RED[/I] 5/10 - 18 mg not a nice vape, harsh on the throat (coming from a Marlboro red smoker) not worth even trying this one, flavor is just about bearable, stick to regular USA mix.
Menthol 5/10 - I'm not blown away by this one, it does open up your airwaves but something doesn't sit right with the flavor, I will try another brand and let you know.
Virginia - 3/10 simply too strong, if you like cigars however; this may be very good for you.
RY4 - 5/10 I found this one very sweet, can be overbearing at times, would like to try other brands of RY4 for comparison as this flavor is constantly talked about. Some days I'd vape it alot others I couldn't stand it.
I let it steep for a few days and it got better with time.
Apple 7/10 - realistic, like apple juice mixed with apple candy, for me personally, this is the perfect blend between real and synthetic apple, I really like it.
Coconut 6/10 - tastes like coconut oil that you use in you hair (the natural one) unfortunately in this case, it was too natural, I wanted something a little more sweet and synthetic, if you like the taste of REAL coconut then this is amazing.
If anyone knows a brand that sells nice sweet coconut (the type you get in candy with the slightly artificial taste, please let me know)
Kiwi 3/10 accuracy but 8/10 when used as sweetner - I have never found anything that manages to taste like kiwi (general talk, not just eLiquid), this is just like sugar juice *BUT it is perfect if you want to add sweetner to some of your other juices (I did it with the coconut and it really fixed it for me) If you wish to use it as a sweetner, get the lower nicotine one.
Lemon Tea 7/10 - this is really nice, no other way to describe it ...it's Lemon tea, sweet and refreshing and accurate. 11 MG is perfect for me.
Grape - will let you know on next edit, just placed a big order and am about to try this and the following:
Coca Cola - " "
Juicy Peach - " "
Watermelon " "
Baileys/ Irish Cream - " "
• Dekang
Another Chinese company, I believe Dekang are one of the largest out there and are the biggest competitor for Hangsen mass produced but have some best sellers so it can't be that bad.
Pina Colada 7/10 11 MG 5/10 18 MG- I like this one, it's bursting with flavor, I would not go for the 18 mg as the hit is quite harsh on the throat, definitely recommended to those who like a fruity flavor, even if you want to try it only once. it's great.
I will be trying more of these in the future.
• Vermilion River
Word on the streets is that these guys make something called Kentucky Applewood and apparently it's "something else!"
I saw that Liberty Flights (UK) have them as a 'guest liquid' at present so it was a good opportunity to take it for a test drive... Here's how it went down...
Kentucky Applewood 10/10 -
This is probably the most interesting tobacco I have ever tried in my life ! I got the 25 mg tester bottle which is way too hard for me but I knew from the very first puff that this was special, I ordered 15 mg right after.
In fact... This is the first time I have ever trusted a liquid enough to order a 30 ML bottle which I just did. That says it all!
PLEASE NOTE RE: APPLEWOOD: This is a unique and complex flavor, I would consider getting a dedicated Carto/Atty specially for this as it lingers and doesn't go away too quick after you drip other juices on after use.
• Decadant Vapor
I heard some good things about this brand thought I'd try it out.
Vanilla 5/10 - 11 mg. disappointed
I expected more from this one to be fair, smells nicer than it tastes, it just lacks in 'full flavorness' , I cannot picture this getting much better with a higher nicotine level, overly subtle (you may like it like that but I was hoping for something slightly more Vanilla-ish) it's in there somewhere but there appears to be another spice in it that is kind of messing things up, I don't know what it is, wouldn't buy it again personally.
Bubblegum6.5/10 24 mg - Wayyyyy too harsh on the throat (my only option was 10 or 25 mg on Liberty Flights) would love to give this a proper review if I were to try a lesser strength, the flavor is nice but I cannot give this a fair chance due to nicotine level killing the pleasure out of it so please do not use this to base your judgment.
• Pink Spot Vapors
Never heard of these guys before but saw some original flavors so thought I'd give it a shot
(available from Liberty Flights UK)
Strawberry Cheesecake *OMG Rated* - Yummy Yummy Yummy !!! all I'm gonna say is ...try it ! it's a creamy strawberry flavor and tastes like pure magic.
I tested this on 24 mg nicotine which I never really do, but even on a 24 I rated this *OMG* so that in itself says alot.
Very happy I gave this company a chance and will be buying from them again 100 %.
Please note that the throat hit on 24 mg is not as strong as you would expect, I earlier placed an order for a 30 mil bottle as I have been vaping this all day and never want to run out,
I ordered the 12 mg and quickly emailed them to change it for the 24 as I feared the throat hit would be too light.
let's see if they get back to me.
• Liqua
From what we learned on a previous thread is that Liqua process their liquid differently to other brands, I can't remember exactly what it is they do (lab talk) I just remember that have an additional method of refining their juice.
Personally when it comes to fruit juices Liqua is my number 1, people have mistaken my 'over enthusiasm' for this product with advertising, so I will clarify it once again, I do not work for Liqua/Go Richy and they do not send me freebies.
I buy mine from thebestshop.eu as they are local to me. If you are looking for accuracy when it comes to fruity flavors then this rules the roost !
Tobacco 5/10- This is pure throat hit, lacking in flavor, not very enjoyable, I understand they are working on a USA mix of their own so should be interesting.
Traditional Tobacco 4/10- It's smoke-able but I think they should stick to fruit juice. I preferred Dekang USA mix
Cigar Tobacco - 3/10 for me but 8/10 for accuracy - too strong, made my lungs feel heavy after, I wouldn't recommend this to those who never liked cigars in the first place and wouldn't buy it again no matter what nicotine level because I hate cigars, *BUT, if you have elite lungs that handled inhaling cigars beforehand then this may be what you are looking for.
Coffee - 7/10 for pleasure but 10/10 for accuracy - have you ever crunched a real coffee bean ? it is scary how accurate this is, I have no idea how they reached this level of accuracy on this one, if you don't believe me... try it.
Cherry 8/10 - Very accurate (simply not synthetic enough for me I prefer a full blast of cherry candy flavor when it comes to juices) there is a very very subtle hint of synthetic cherry but overall this is probably the closest thing to real cherry that I have tried (I would buy this again).
Grape *OMG Rated* - The king of all fruit juices. this is simply amazing, there is not a bad word I can say about this, out of all the fruit juices out there this I would definitely class this as my 'Go To' fruit juice, you have to try this !!!
Citrus Mix 8/10 - This is beyond yummy! although rated as citrus it's definitely more towards the oranges than the lemons, yet again extremely accurate and I could happily vape this on a regular basis.
Strawberry 8/10 - Very very nice, a touch too accurate for my liking, would have preferred slightly more synthetic just a touch more even, but again I would have no problem vaping away at this all day long.
That's all for now folks !!!!!!
I hope this helps those beginners out there, I am still going to try other brands and flavors and will update / edit this on a regular basis.
To Conclude... My current number 1's of all categories...
Tobacco - Vermilion River - Kentucky Applewood 15 MG
Fruit - Liqua Grape (light)
Sweet - Pink Spot Vapors - Strawberry Cheesecake (go for less than the 25 MG one for better pleasure)
If you are a supplier and think that your product can compete with the high rated ones on here then by all means I'll gladly review yours too, just send me a PM and I'll get on the case, but please note that I will still remain honest and accurate throughout this review regardless of how the product was obtained.
I look forward to your replies.
