Okay, so my ABSOLUTE favorite thing about Gourmet Vapor is being an "e-liquid chef", without me having to do the DIYing. I love being able to create my own flavors, and I pretty much have around 10 flavors already created. BUT... I haven't got the means to purchase them all, so I only have two that I bought. I'll be doing a review of the two that I created, and then one of Classic Sangria.
I have a 510 joye, with an atty/cart (filler mod), and all of the juices I have ordered are at 80 PG / 20 VG at 18mg nicotine
Okay the two flavors that I created will have a slightly different method to do a review, since I think that this method will help others understand.
What I was aiming for: A nice, heavy red-wine LIKE flavor, with a tart, but NOT sweet taste. I did NOT want an actual blend of plain red wine, since I could just vape 100% Wine Red, so this is a flavor that has Wine Red as a base, rather than being the main flavor by itself. I was especially looking for something for a killer throat hit, and a great late-night or night-out vape!
Vampire Blood - Damon
The "Recipe": 40% Wine Red, 30% Blackberry, 20% Apple, 10% Champagne
Flavor: Wow, wow, wow! This has turned into one of my "Top 5 Favorite Late Night Vapes"! I'm a Red Wine lover, and always have been. I wanted the "Vampire Blood" flavored e-liquids to have a twist, just to tickle the ol' taste buds. This did this for me! The red wine base gives a heavy, dark taste that embraces, NOT overpowers, the blackberry's amazing flavor, while very nicely toning down the actual sweetness of the berry. The champagne creates a good "mute" base, and gives it an even heavier wine flavor. The apple, however, is the most unique part of the mix. It has such a tartness that it surprised me when I inhaled- I started to cough from how strong it was, but it was such a great taste! I'm very shocked how well this flavor came out, and I'll definitely be buying more!
Throat Hit: This is my go-to vape from now on when I'm craving a heavy throat hit. As I said above, I started to cough from the strength; the apple in the recipe is the culprit for the great throat hit! I vape this when I'm with my analog-smoking friends because it not only smells great when vaping it, but the throat hit is what I NEED when I'm hanging out with them. Even some of my friends will ask for a drag off of this stuff because their cigarette doesn't have a throat hit!
Vapor Production:
The vapor production is decent, and gives off the amount of vapor that I'm happy with. It's a little less than probably most of my flavored e-liquids, but still has plenty enough of vapor.
(1= not at ALL to my expectation 10= Reaches total expectation)
What I was aiming for: 8 out 10
Flavor: 8.5 out of 10
Throat Hit: 8.5 out of 10
Vapor Production: 7.5 out of 10
First Impression: 8 out of 10
Will I order it again: YES!
Vampire Blood - Rayne
The "Recipe": 40% Wine Red, 30% Tangerine, 20% Strawberry, 10% Orange
Flavor: This is a great flavor, and it's lighter than Vampire Blood - Damon. The red wine base is nicely complimented by a citrus coupling of tangerine and orange, giving that tartness I was looking for. It's very easy on the taste buds. The strawberry does add a sweet-like taste to it, but it's still very enjoyable. I do enjoy it's lighter taste, but the red wine base is actually quite strong enough to push through the berry and citrus, so it's not just a wine cooler-like taste; it has much heavier red wine flavor than any wine cooler could have, but as I said before, the Damon blend is stronger than this one. It's kind of funny I called this one Rayne because it's what I imagine a "Red Wine Rainfall" would taste like! It ALMOST resembles the taste of an Orange "Tic-Tac", but again, without the sugary sweetness (if that's possible
well, it is now!)
Throat Hit: My first reaction was how "cool" it tasted in the inhale, and I exhaled, thinking there would be no throat hit. I must have drank some strong soda because I drank a small glass of water, and took another drag. The throat hit surprised me! It's a tingling sensation more than anything else, and it's smooth. There's no "harshness" to it, which is what I actually like. This is another "Top 5 Favorite Late Night Vape", simply because it's a good medium of a harsh/heavy throat hit and a tingling/cool throat hit.
Vapor Production: This flavor turned my PV into a CHIMNEY! CLOUDS and clouds of vapor with little effort! I couldn't believe how much vapor after the first exhale! Great vapor production!
(1= not at ALL to my expectation 10= Reaches total expectation)
What I was aiming for: 6.5 out 10
Flavor: 8 out of 10
Throat Hit: 7.5 out of 10
Vapor Production: 8.5 out of 10
First Impression: 7 out of 10
Will I order it again: Yes, I enjoy this flavor.

Classic Sangria:
I bought this for a friend looking for a wine flavor, and a good throat hit. When I tasted it, I was actually very surprised! It's nice and heavy, just like Sangria, with that tiny slight sweet taste to it, just like Sangria! Although Sangria isn't one of my ultimate favorite Red Wines, I can and will enjoy a glass of it if it's offered or bought for me! My friend loves this flavor, and it gives him the throat hit he was looking for. My favorite part is the lingering taste that it leaves on my taste buds... A taste of wine that I love so much! It's an all around great "Late Night Vape", and it's also a good vape around analog smokers! I will definitely order this flavor again!
Flavor: 7.5 out of 10 (Since I'm not the biggest fan of Sangria anyway, but it's still close to it!)
Throat Hit: 8.5 out of 10
Vapor Production: 8 out of 10
First Impression: 7 out of 10
Will I order this again: Probably, but I also want to try out my Vampire Blood mixes.
...and that's that!
I'm very happy with Gourmet Vapor! Their flavors are strong (to me, at least) and their service and clean-cut, great, and quick! Thank you Gourmet Vapor!
