I recently had the pleasure of ordering, Gumby Blood, Unicorn Blood, Pixie Dust, and XTC from Fuzion Vapors. I couldn't have been more blown away by the quality of juice Shane is crafting!

I enjoyed them so much I placed an order for 120ML + Flavor Boost for each!!! :D

Aww... can I have some of your money so I can get a thousand MLs of juice too!? I have a list!!! :)

Seriously though, that's awesome! I'm glad you are digging their juices. Things that make me happy that also make other people make me even happier. And stuff.

Also, I just recently tried out XTC.... Highly recommended. Got a write-up coming soon. Just been letting a few things steep. :)

I haven't even TRIED my Purple Pieman. It is just sitting there, looking lonely...

Juice neglect! Juice neglect! I'm calling The National E-Juice Welfare Department and reporting you immediately.

Although... now that I think of it... Juice abuse is more lyrical.

Either way, you're gonna be in so much trouble with that government agency I just made up. :p

has anyone tried the nice melons?

Yea its very fruity, tastes like a chewing gum that I've had before but I don't remember.

I just ordered about 8 bottles and I find Unicorn Blood, Gumby Blood, and Nice Melons to be sickeningly sweet. Way to see and candy like for my taste, how ever they aren't bad flavors, just far too sweet for my taste buds. I like the Bob Marley Blood because its not as sweet and tastes just like an orange rind on the exhale.

Here we are once again... Oodles and Oodles of new juices to pick apart and analyze like a David Lynch movie, which we then pretend to "totally get" to all of our friends, even though deep down we really know we only kinda think it might have something to do with babies and obsession. And pickles.

Also, in my first review I said that Shane was a chef. Well Shane set me straight on that: Not a chef, but an avid cooker. So at least the passion is still there. And honestly changed jack squat about how I feel about the dude and the flavors he comes up with... You can tell he's making an effort, and that counts a lot in my book.

Anyway... REVIEWS!!!!

XTC: A couple of you highly recommended this one to me. I'm not one to go along with "trends" usually. That means I only listen to vinyl, I ride a unicycle to work, and my facial hair takes four hours to groom! So if you think I'm gonna try something just because "the man" says it might be good.... Well I did. Not only is this a yummy fruit vape, but it also transformed me from a hipster ......... into a well-adjusted member of society. I drive a car, I pay my taxes, and I no longer scowl at old ladies for being old.

The juice itself? Website says it's a mix of red fruits and cream. That seems pretty accurate. First hit I took (no steeping) definitely had creaminess up front. I also got hints of strawberry and something else. As it matured some of the other flavors became more pronounced and the creaminess tapered off a bit (Not a bad thing). Now when I hit it, I get a smooth apple flavor, strawberry, and even a hint of watermelon. All in all a really refreshing, sweet vape. Word of warning: Treat it wisely as an all-day vape. I noticed about six hours of vaping nothing but XTC gave me vapers tongue and I started tasting metal. Then again, that could have just been a stroke. But brain fully operate the function it need so who care move on.

Black Cavendish: This... this was the exact opposite experience I had with The Dean. While that strong, RY4-ish smell is there... The chocolate and the coffee and all the sweet stuff hidden inside this dark, foreboding-looking juice. Shane recommended a 2-week steep. Usually when people tell me what to do I react how you would expect somebody of maturity level to behave. But before I guzzled the entire bottle just to spite him, I decided "Why not?" and gave it it's precious two weeks.

Tobacco mellowed... sweet flavors became richer and fuller. F me. This will be filling the next big tank of mine that opens up. If you've had aversions to tobacco vapes in the past... give this one a shot. Gnomes smoke it apparently. If I saw a gnome smoking this I would hit him over the head with a sock full of quarters and steal it. That's right:

Black Cavendish: You'll Mug a Gnome to Get It! (copyright me and all subsidiaries 2013 all rights and reserved names and characters are fictional and should not be taken as real no gnomes were harmed in the making of this slogan except for the ones who really, realllllllyyyy deserved it)

Hadouken: As a former avid gamer (Now I'd classify myself as moderately obsessive casual gamer) the idea of a video game inspired e-liquid seemed pretty obvious. What didn't seem obvious was how this juice would fare. I've heard everything from "It's hardcore and love it!" to "It tastes like a eucalyptus leave sexed up a lemon." Never one to be deterred by the opinions of others, I ordered a sample of it and my results are:

Hmm. Straight out of the mail, it definitely as a strong lemon-lime soft drink smell which... me likely. Only catch a hint of the menthol. But when you vape it quite the reverse is true. You get a strong dragon punch to the groin of your throat when that menthol kicks in. And it's slightly sour from the lemon. After letting it steep for two weeks... the menthol has definitely chilled out and the lemon-lime flavor is shining through some more... but...

Ultimate where this one loses me is the menthol. I don't mind menthols per se, but there are multiple categories of menthol to take into consideration. For instance, there are certain kinds of menthol that go great with what they are paired up with (See: Vacation, your mom). There are kinds that you immediately want to vape. Then there are the ones you immediately want to rub on your chest before you go to bed. This menthol ranks in the latter category for me. Which isn't to say I'll never touch the stuff. In fact, I've been actively licking every door knob I come into contact with in the hope of catching a cold and testing this juices sinus-clearing potential.

tl;dr version: If you are a fan of super-strong menthol vapes, do it. If not, beware. It isn't very forgiving. :D

Jacked: Not a whole lot to say about this one other than mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Very delicious. Not a big drinker, but the honey bourbon and chocolate combo is a winner. This one needs more of a steep before I can get too in-depth, but I'm definitely digging it. It's the kind of vape that would go good with eating waffles. Waffles and liquor. Don't deny you want it.

Nice Melons: Just received this yesterday (Along with Jacked and Bob Marley Bood, the later of which I still haven't tried), so it still needs to steep... but up front I'm getting... peaches? I don't know what kind of tricks you are up to. Mr. Shane.... but I'm keeping one eye on you and one eye on your mixing hand and one eye- I ran out of eyes. But you get my meaning. *glares*


Here are a couple of updates on stuff I reviewed before:

Endless Summer - Still love it. Polished off most of my 15ml bottle in days. Must... learn... patience. Or buy bigger.

Everlast - Saw somebody was having issues with their bottle. I recently re-ordered a 15ml bottle of it (I liked it, go figure, Sane is making me like stuff I never was into before: alcohol, energy drinks, ....... I mean... pike fishing?) and haven't run into any issues. Again: It's strong and takes a little bit of a steep to get the flavor going. But it's still faboo.

The Dean - Mellowed out considerably but still a bit too strong for my tastes. I'll just stick to my lollipops and diaper-baby vapes, thank you very much.

Krankberry - After about a week, when everything has settled, it becomes a very tasty complex flavor. Candy raspberries, real cranberry juice.... mmmm. Also recommend anybody who hasn't liked Unicorn Blood to try mixing a small amount of Krankberry into it. The flavors compliment each other, and actually round off the sweet edge of the UB.


AND NOW A SUPER-SPECIAL SNEAK PREVIEW REVIEW... VIEW.... THING!!!!!

Ectoplasm - This juice isn't out yet but should be hitting the shelves this month sometime. So when I heard Fuzion was doing Ecto-Cooler I had two immediate reactions: First, "Yay!" then... "Why?" Don't get me wrong. I'm a child of the eighties. The Ghostbusters were my thing growing up. Owned a bunch of the toys, watched the movies and cartoon series constantly, and drank enough of Hi-C's sickly sweet green concoction that to this day I'm still convinced it's what almost gave me diabetes at 26 (Almost! Counteracted my blood sugar with a lot of salt; today I have regulated blood sugars and severe hypertension, win!).

But the problem is at this point in the game, everybody and their second-cousin has made an Ecto-Cooler-esque flavors. I've only tried a couple and... most get it close. None of them get it perfect. But with the market so saturated with green eliquids that taste like citrus fruit punch. How could Fuzion ever stand out from the crowd?

I really got to learn to stop doubting Shane. Want to stand out from the crowd? Follow this man's lead: Take the basic core concept of a flavor... keep that in place... how you get there is completely up to you.

Before I get to taste, let me talk about the way this stuff looks. For those of you with fears of food colorings, good news! It's not green. But it's also not clear. There's something floating around in there. Something cloudy.

*whispers* I think a ghost had his sex ways with my juice, y'guys....

But seriously, when I saw it I smiled... because some part of me knew that the cloudiness was all part of the "ghost" aspect and I for one like the look of my haunted carto tank.

On to flavor and this "basic core concept" idea. The basic core concept behind Ecto-Cooler is "citrus-heavy fruit punch". Beyond that mild limitation, the world is your oyster (No, there is no oyster flavoring in here, just stick with me.). So what does Shane use as his citrus base? Limes. Or more specifically: lime-ade. Remember the frozen tubes you'd get full of lemon and lime slush that you mixed with semi-warm water to make that frosty drink you so much loved on a hot summer day. Well I got that flavor right up front. But when I exhaled I caught a hint of another lime flavor: Lime lollipops or lime otter pop. Either way that slightly strong lime candy flavor hangs out in the background and is very welcome.

But this is a "punch" so you need some other flavors. Ectoplasm does not come up short on this front either. Besides the lime-pop flavor, on the exhale I also got hints of orange and even tangerine. It all really combines into a unique and flavorful take on the Ecto-Cooler concept. It also makes me look forward to whatever other takes Shane has on some of my childhood favorites (Pop Rocks and Soda!).

Just a warning on the throat hit: Before steeping, this stuff has HELL of a throat hit. Very strong citrus. But after time it will mellow...just not too much. :) Also, despite being a really strong citrus flavor, it didn't melt my cartotank which is just a regular old Smoktech 1.5ml DCT.

Well that's all I've got for this time. Hopefully I will have some more for y'all later. And hopefully if you haven't taken a chance on Fuzion yet, one of my reviews might convince you to do so. Pretty much the only reason I write these is to share something I enjoy. And if others enjoy it too, all the better.

And for those of you who actually read all of this crap, thanks! But you should seriously consider a hobby. :D

And for those of you who didn't:

tl;dr - Juice still good. Buy juice or break face with frying pan...... frying pan of love.....

P.S. Recently upgraded to a Vamo. If you're still using ego batteries.... this is your next step. Trust me. The experience I'm getting from the power of this thing is tantamount to having five simultaneous orgasms while eating waffles and whiskey. Don't deny you want it!!!!! :)

Again, a well written (and very funny) review! I got my sampler of Unicorn blood, pixie dust and everlast a few days ago, and I already ordered more unicorn blood. I was totally blown away!! It totally tastes like Hawaiian punch and reminds me of all the fun elementary school parties back in the 80's. Don't have those anymore in schools like they used to, but I digress.

I didn't get blown away by the other two, so letting them steep. In fact, they almost tasted stale. That's not going to stop me from trying others though...FV is by far my favorite juice vendor.

And thanks for the Vamo tip! I'm currently using Ego twists, and they are great, but, always on the look out for more vaping toys! :vapor:

Thanks for writting such a great review!!

No problem. Everlast is a pretty subtle flavor, so a steep would be good. Pixie Dust should only need a few days to steep though.

Glad you dug the UB though. And agreed, tastes just like the punch we got served in school... with candy! Whee!

And yeah, the Vamo is pretty dang cool. I like my ego Twist still, don't get me wrong... But this thing certainly blows it away. :)
