So I received my latest sampler pack from Shane and Fuzion and... man... the consistency with which I'm blown away is amazing. Every single juice (Well... one exception... but more on that later) has been love at first toot. What makes Fuzion's stuff so special? Well... I think three things:
1.) Culinary Expertise: Shane is a chef and it really comes through in his juices. Not only does he perfectly nail flavors, but knows how to mix and balance ingredients so they compliment and even bolster one another. This isn't some dude in his basement slapping PG and VG together and calling it macaroni. These are carefully and thoughtfully blended to give you not only a great taste, but one of the most unique vaping experiences you'll ever have.
2.) Fun: All you have to do is look at the names of some of Fuzion's juices and you just know you're dealing with somebody not only creative, but who also seems to be genuinely having fun. A healthy sense of humor doesn't hurt either.
3.) Magic: I'm sure Shane wasn't the first to make special blends that not only have unique flavors, but unique FEATURES as well... But he's definitely a master. I'll get more specific in my reviews (Yeah, I've only just begun to ramble) but when's the last time you had a vape taste one flavor on the inhale and a different flavor on the exhale? How many of you have ever had a vape that left little packets of flavor crystals on your tongue? I never have. But then again, I'm relatively new so maybe I'm just unexperienced (Wouldn't be the first time that's applied to me). But to me... vaping something and immediately going, "How the hell did he do that?" is the biggest badge of honor I can give any juice. Just having a satisfying vape alone is enough for me, but having a little adventure thrown in the mix... that's something special.
Okay... reviews! I've been collecting samplers over the past couple of months and have sampled a pretty big part of Fuzion's selection. I'll try to keep these as succinct as possible.
Unicorn Blood: First one I ever tried because seriously... how bad-... does it sound to say, "I traded in cigarettes for Unicorn Blood!"? Pretty bad-..., that's how much! Like a handful of Skittles washed down with some Red Kool-Aid minus the diabetic coma. Oh, and remember when I mentioned flavor crystals being left on the tongue? This is the juice that did it. Definite tank-filler.
Pixie Dust: Pixie Stix? Sure. Close. I definitely get some berry and some tartness. But also a hit of non-mint flavored menthol pushes this clearly into "I don't know what it is, but I like it" territory for me. Immediately ordered another 15ml of it.
Chuck Norris Blood: I thought it tasted like strawberries and cream. Turned out to be strawberries and white chocolate. I was close enough. What I love about this is the strawberry flavor is STRAWBERRY! I mean, after I vape it I have this taste on my tongue like i just ate fresh strawberries. I can even taste the little pips on the skin. Crazy. Another immediate 15-ml re-order.
Vacation: This... this is my all day vape. Imagine a piña colada with a creamy peppermint flavor. I live in California but hardly ever visit the beach (Lame, I know, but so is visiting the beach during the day what with all the parking and... people). But with Vacation... I don't really have to... A couple of hits of it and... I'm good. Highly recommend this, even if you aren't a menthol fan. Neither am I, but this still blew me away. Re-ordered a 30ml bottle almost immediately after trying it.
Gumby Blood: Thick, sweet liquid that's my favorite color. The fact that it tastes like Fruit Stripe gum and gummy worms doesn't hurt either. Made one of my tanks all cloudy. Totally worth it. A definite future re-order (Almost want to get this in 120ml so I can stare at it in the pretty glass bottle). And no... you aren't hallucinating... it changes flavor as you vape it. Which would technically put it in the Everlasting Gobstopper.... Oooh! (E-mails Shane an idea for a juice called Schnozzberry Shots....then remembers what a schnozzberry actually is and retracts it).
Everlast: I really don't like energy drinks. They kinda taste like battery acid and make my heart feel all explode-y. Which makes me mixed on this juice: It doesn't really taste like any energy drink I've ever had. Which makes me happy. Dunno how others would feel. To me (To re-use the Unicorn Blood framework of description) somebody took a little bit of Sprite or 7-Up, a dash of Squirt, and dropped in a handful of cherry Sweettarts, then let it ferment for a month. In other words... ......ing delicious. Shane puts vitamins into some of his e-liquid and this one contains a ton of B-12 according to the site. Dunno how effective vitamins are in vaping... although I have noticed I can't vape this before bed. It's like insomnia in a bottle. Getting another 15ml on my next order for sure.
Endless Summer: Wow. Just... wow. That awesome strawberry flavor from Chuck Norris Blood bathed in sweet and tangy lemonade. A freebie that Shane sent along that... well... it worked. Another 15ml bottle for my next order for sure.
These next three are the ones I received today. I opened it up, excited to see my new goodies. Instead of a sampler pack of three though Shane went ahead and doubled me up. Not sure why he did it...whether a bonus for customer loyalty or he's just going senilein his advance age (Kidding, dude can't be older than 35 from the looks of him) but what an amazingly generous gesture.
Krankberry: Another juice that I am sure looks great in a glass bottle. He could have honestly called it Smurf Blood, it's that blue (PS All of his colorings are natural, which is pretty impressive once you see the color). Raspberry/cranberry that straddles that thin line between candy and complex, rich fruit. Want to inject it directly into my veins. So glad I got twice the goodness. Can't wait until it steeps. I can only imagine it getting better.
Hell Frozen Over: Hey! You! The one with all the crud in the corner of your eye! Ya like cinnamon! No... it's pronounced sin-a-mon, not sim-a-mum. Yeah. You like it? Taste this. Nice fiery cinnamon inhale, right? Now exhale! Where did the sim-a-mum go!?!? Who replaced with menthol while it was in my lungs?!?!? Why is my underwear suddenly heavier?!?!? Seriously... Not sure how does it, but this some of that magic I was talking about. A throat-hit like getting punched in the neck, then having your mommy kiss it and make it all better. Equal parts punishing and smooth. Afraid to put this in a take because it feels like it could eventually work it's way through kevlar. Really can't recommend this to anybody looking for a good cinnamon vape or anybody who enjoys fly fishing with piranhas after kicking a bear in the face. With explosions. And a guitar solo.
The Dean: *sighs* They can't all be love at first sight. This one had the most prevalent smell out of all the liquids I got today. It's listed as a tobacco flavor but... I guess? I dunno how to explain this one. Very strong smell right from the bottle. Couldn't really isolate any individual fragrence, but it definitely made my nostrils burn. I hit it a few times, frowned, hit a few more times, frowned a little more, the set it aside. It's a very complex flavor, that's for sure. Right up front it was very spicy and musky. Could taste nuts... almost swore I could smell the skin of a walnut. Then on the exhale I caught hints of citrus or lemon grass. Over that was that really pungent taste, what I'm guessing is the "tobacco" portion. I say that because I tried RY4 once and got a very similar taste/smell from that as well. Not a big fan of it... but I haven't turned my back on it either. Oddly enough the second bottle I got for free wasn't as pungent as the other. I keep going back and smelling it.
To me, The Dean is kind of like hearing a Ween album for the first time. Initially you're not sure what to make of it. You think somebody might be putting you on. Then, as the day goes on, their songs start popping into your head. You find yourself talking about it to friends. You're not entirely sure you like them, but for some odd reason you can't get them off of your mind. You even start liking the songs that alienated you at the start. Next thing you know you wake up and you've been following them on tour for four months, you've lost your job and all contact with your family, as soon as the concert ends you're gonna have to face the real world again, but for now all you care about his hearing "Spinal Meningitis Got Me Down" and "Stroker Ace" before you take a handful of (REMOVED DRUG REFERENCE) and trip all your cares and fears away.
Wow... that metaphor really went off the rails.
Shane was also kind enough to include a couple of juices from The Lab (Dun dun dunnnnn!). Not sure if they will ever see release, but both of the ones I tried were fantastic. One made me like one of my biggest candy foes: black licorice. The other is on his Lab page called Frozen Chocolate Banana. The flavor is great, of course. But when the "Frozen" part kicks in... Well just imagine the first caveman to ever discover fire. Now thing of the dude standing next to him and watching. As soon as that first spark caught and flames shot out, you just know he lost his ..... My reaction to FCB was very similar. Really hope it becomes a regular flavor.
Okay... that was long-winded but necessary. If I didn't say this here, I would have kept bugging my non-vaping friends about it. And then they'd stop being my friend. I need more vaping buddies... Anyway... Every juice on this list (With the exception of The Dean, for now) gets a solid 4.5-5 out of 5. Do yourself a favor... put this juice in your face.
For those of you with short attention spans:
tl;dr Fuzion Vapor is awesome and you should buy everything in large quantities.
Vape on!
