Glassmanoak started out as a regular here at ECF, mixing and sharing a little of his vast knowledge of flavors in the DIY section of the forum for a while. After sharing juices with family and friends, and random users here around the forum, he quickly realized how positive the feedback was on his juices, and started out on a mission to be able to offer his juices for sale. It wasn't very long before he had his website The Vape Tree up and running with sales going strong. Since then his juices, comradery with everyone, and general friendliness has helped his business grow into a major fellowship here on the forum and all around the internet.
Glassmanoak's The Vape Tree has weekly contests here on the forum, where you can win 2-4 15ml bottles of juice, depending on the prizes offered each week. These were my picks from winning about 2 months ago, I've been busy so hadn't had a chance to get these thoughts put onto paper until here recently. Hope you all enjoy!
Hardware Used - eGo Twists 1100/1300 (3.4-3.9V) / VAMO V2 (6-7.5W) / IGO-L, FT Mini RDA (drippers setup w/ Silica - 30ga @ 1.4 Ohms), and 2 x Mini Davide BCC (30ga @ 1.6-1.8 Ohms w/ cotton)
Steeping Period - These arrived pre-steeped by The vape Tree, but I also let them steep an additional two weeks before sampling (Note my Dragon's Claw recommendation)
Nicotine Level - 6mg/ml
- Amazing Strawberry -
Throat hit - @ 6mg I rarely notice any TH anymore, unless something is overly harsh, which this is notThe Vape Tree said:
Vapor production - 9/10
Flavor strength - 8.5/10
Overall Opinion - Sweet and true, delivers exactly as it's name implies!! Taste like a bundle of freshly picked strawberries, slightly sweetened in a natural tasting way. At times I can even taste the strawberry flesh, other times I get hints of a candied strawberry but it's only a hint. I think there may be a hint of apple back there, but I'm not sure on that, Glassmanoak's juices are always so interesting so it's really hard to even take a guess.
Overall, this is very flavorful and I keep finding myself coming back to taste it again and again!
- Blueberry Berry -
Throat hit - @ 6mg I rarely notice any TH anymore, unless something is overly harsh. This one seems extra soft to me at 6mg, a smooth treat!The Vape Tree said:
Vapor production - 9/10
Flavor strength - 6.5/10
Overall Opinion - Blueberry Berry is a very soft and realistic blueberry, with I believe an angel's touch of raspberry hiding in the background. I'm more of a fake blueberry (Muffin type) fan, so this one wasn't as good as I was hoping for after trying the Amazing Strawberry first. All the "real fruit" blueberry fans are really going to enjoy this as it's very realistic in the fruit department.
Blueberry Berry's texture is very smooth, users who like soft vapes or plain hate TH are going to love this one!
- Dragon's Claw -
Throat hit - @ 6mg I rarely notice any TH anymore, unless something is overly harsh. I do detect a little TH with this one, so I'd say it's probably above average at higher Nic ratiosThe Vape Tree said:

Overall Opinion - WOW, WOW, and OH WOW!!! I'm unsure what Glassmanoak was shooting for here, more Dragonfruit, more floral, delicate mix of both ect, but it's a very bold flavor (At first) which was quite a nice surprise! For the first week or two, this one was VERY floral for me, maybe pomegranate and passion-fruit, maybe with slight hint's of lavender as well? I also believe I taste and smell a little bit of bubble gum here too, especially when more fresh. I expected Dragonfruit of course, but wasn't expecting such a delicate and intricate mix, this is so good!!
For me, this one must be steeped a long time for best flavor, at first it was too strong and floral and I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it. But I'm glad I let it sit and steep for a long time, once fully steeped it's perfection! This juice is best steeped a good long time! It's enjoyable fresh, but for the first few weeks it seemed fairly strong and floral, not in a bad way, but it just tastes totally different and so much better a month or two later. After a month or so the flavor it turns into is WELL worth the wait. So my suggestion to anyone trying this, don't use it up within the first few weeks of getting it, or you'll end up missing out on the smooth intricate flavor profile that comes much later.
I think many females would love and adore this one, fans of floral type vapes would enjoy it too, and especially anyone that likes Dragon Fruit will fall in love too!
- Butterscotch -
Throat hit - @ 6mg I rarely notice any TH anymore, unless something is overly harsh, which this is notThe Vape Tree said:
Vapor production - 9.5/10
Flavor strength - 7.5/10
Overall Opinion - Well now, that's really different! This reminds me of a mix between butterscotch chips and a touch of butterscotch syrup, not fully either of those, and not at all like a yellow candy disc. If "Charleston Chew" made a butterscotch chew I think it would taste just like this. For me, this is a very unique and new way to enjoy butterscotch! The unknown factor, what it does or doesn't remind me of, makes it all the more interesting to vape.
All butterscotch fans should really enjoy this one, try it now or you'll continue to miss out on a very intriguing butterscotch vape!
- Arctic Sky -
Throat hit - @ 6mg Arctic Sky does give you a cool kick in the throat, so yes I'd say this one has an adequate TH at all Nic ratios!The Vape Tree said:
Vapor production - 7.5/10
Flavor strength - 8/10
Overall Opinion - Iced peppermint with double extra major menthol!! If you need a face freeze, or have a heavy cold, this will be a real treat for you! I detect a hint of sweetness, but not overly so. Arctic Sky seems to taste mainly of mixed mints, possibly including spearmint, and maybe a tiny bit of eucalyptus (not sure), but the main mint I taste is a slightly sweet peppermint. It's so hard to try and guess the mints under all the menthol though, the menthol level is super strong, but not overdone into a Hall's cough drop or anything like that.
I'm sure all menthol fans would enjoy this one! Give it a try on your next order, it's a real eye-opener.
The Vape Tree's juices moderately priced at $8.50 for 15ml and $16 for 30ml bottles. They are all mixed at 60PG/40VG, unless otherwise requested. They offer sales and specials from time to time, and are always working on new flavors, their latest addition is a range of "Hand Churned Ice Creams". I believe they also pre-steep all juices for a certain period of time in an ultrasonic cleaner, times may vary and that may not apply to all flavors, so if you are unsure or curious about this you'll have to ask Glassmanoak himself for clarification. Over at The Vape Tree they LOVE to talk, so if you ever need help with anything, ordering, juice selection or customizations ect, all you have to do is contact them by using the website form, email, or you can even give them a call if you want!
Have a look around, I'm sure you'll find more than a few flavors that sound interesting to you. Not sure what to try first? I suggest giving the Amazing Strawberry and Dragon's Claw a try, I'd go ahead and toss in a Butterscotch too for good measure.
I'm sure you'll be impressed when your order arrives, The Vape Tree's juices are carefully crafted examples of flavor perfection, miles ahead of the average simple 1-2 flavored juices offered by many vendors!
