For those familiar with my reviews these flavors will be judged on 3 categories, Throat hit, Flavor, and Vapor Production. Each category is scored between 1 and 5, 5 being the highest. Each flavor will be reviewed using fresh Wow and Cool Cartos placed on a standard XL VK and Passthrough.

Banana Breeze 18 mg

Throat Hit: 2.75 -3

Flavor: 5+

Vapor Production: 3.75 - 4


Banana Breeze……..the name says it all! This juice has a wonderful aroma that sent me reeling back to my childhood when my mom would make Banana Jello Pudding. I really have to applaud the juice creators on this vape, who would of thought that a Banana Menthol could taste so good. The inhale starts off with a delicious sweet banana for about the first 1/3 of the draw. Then the menthol kicks in and both flavors ride side by side until almost the end of the draw. At the very end….somehow..like magic the Banana flavor rises above the Menthol. If you French vape (ie puff out the mouth and into the nose) you recapture that Menthol flavor.

The exhale is a nice blend, very balanced, like Peacemaker the Menthol is just the perfect amount. Mentholer will appreciate the familiar menthol feel in their lungs and sinuses. Banana Menthol……who’d of thunk it?

The juice is a reddish amber color like Wowboy and is easily absorbed by the Carto pfill. The throat hit is relatively mild, yet stronger than any fruit type flavors in the Premium line. The Vapor Production is rather impressive and something I wasn’t expecting from a fruit flavor. The after taste is very clean, not filmy or syrup-like, I was left with Menthol on the lips and throat, and Banana on the roof of the mouth. Given the vapor production I’d guess the PG/VG ratio on this is around 65/35. The Carto could probably be washed out and used with another flavor, but it may take a few rinses.

No real notable differences between Cartos, but the Passthrough does enhance the richness of the menthol and vapor output...which I kinda expected.


Colonel Caramel 18 mg

Throat Hit: 3.25 - 3.5

Flavor: 4.25

Vapor Production: 3.75 - 4


As an avid RY4 fan I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this juice. After vaping it I quickly discovered that this juice should not be considered as an alternative to RY4 or even mentioned in the same breath as RY4. It does share some minor characteristics, but outside of that this juice stands on it’s own.

There is no Cognac pop or sweet caramel that greets you like a classic RY4. That being said, this is a very mellow vape…a nice blend of Vanilla (might be French Vanilla) and Caramel. The Caramel is a little on the muted side, I tend to like my caramel a tad sweeter. The beginning of the inhale starts off with rich Caramel taste which is quickly joined by the Vanilla. The 2 flavors blend well together and stay evenly matched throughout the rest of the inhale and exhale. If there is tobacco in it, it is very subtle, so subtle I’m not sure if there is tobacco in it. Hahaha

The juice itself is red in color similar to Wow Peppermint and flows into a Carto easily. The vapor production leads me to believe that this juice is also around the 65/35 ratio. More Vapor than the Wow Line of juices, but not the cloud-making abilities of Peacemaker. The throat hit is a little stronger than Wow 555, Wowboy, or RY4, but certainly not overpowering, just enough to give it substance. Caramel and Vanilla are nice warm flavors and the throat hit doesn’t come until the very end. No real differences to note between Wow/Cool Cartos. It seems like I taste a little more Vanilla with the Passthrough....but it's almost not worth mentioning.

If I had to classify this vape…Tobacco…Fruit…Coffee..etc. I would say this is a Dessert vape. It makes me want to put some steamed milk into a snifter, toss in a shot of Frangelico, put my feet up and relax.

Hope this helps..........:2cool:

I agree with Eleanor about banana/menthol combo but can't wait to try it :) I have to applaud everyone who have reviewed the new flavors becuase you've certainly tried to put taste into words :) I can see that it was difficult with some of the flavors so I appreciate the effort :) And, I must further admit that your reviews have made me more determined to try them for myself :)
