While we're at it, Vapor Rater does some detailed reviews and a 4 point "star system". He's rated hundreds of juices from MBV to GVC. Indigo is one of the few that he has given several all-5-star reviews to.
Oorah:
Despite having several of Indigo's tobaccos maturing in my steeping drawer, it's been a little while since I've been able to find the time to get to any of them. A new vendor that had promised to have their juice over to me fell behind and a spot opened up in the review schedule, providing me an opportunity to delve into the one that got away...the juice I've heard so many rave reviews for, the juice that I'm embarrassed it's taken me this long to get to, Oorah.
Despite being vastly different beasts, the two tobacco e-liquids that I've tasted (and reviewed) from Indigo already have a singular common thread, an uncanny resemblance to the genuine article, and Oorah is no different. It opens with an aromatic, mellow, sophisticated tobacco, with soft, smooth undertones and a toasted, almost nutty, earthy quality. It has a sweet, honeyed note to it that slowly fades into a very light hint of the graham cracker flavor to come. The top of the exhale is where the juice gains even greater body, with a deeper, heavier, more potent tobacco blend that immediately gives the profile body, depth, and a little backbone to boot. The more rugged tobacco tone continues towards the tail end of the exhale, until mere moments from the time that the last of the cloud escapes...which is where the profile takes it's final twist and things get a bit sweeter again as the graham cracker fully enters the profile, in all it's sweet, honeyed, almost bread-like glory. The graham flavor persists into the finish, leaving behind a shadow of sweetness that continues to develop and change for what seems like an eternity. This is not the blatant, obvious graham cracker flavor present in a bottle of Boba's or similarly styled e-liquids, it's lighter, more ethereal, divine. The particular note is difficult to describe, but wholly natural, a perfect replica, akin to the flavor left in your mouth 30 seconds after you've polished off a graham cracker. It's almost the suggestion of graham...like tasting the idea of the cookie-like cracker without having actually eaten one. The honey sweetened, toasted wheat notes are there, intensely for a fraction of a second before they begin dissipating on the tongue.
While I try to steer clear of opinions in these reviews, this juice, Oorah, is in my own opinion, Indigo's crowning achievement. It's as if they want to tease you with each flavor as it comes and goes from the profile. The juice evokes an emotional response, a need for "just one more vape", a need to taste each broad stroke, and every subtle detail again and again. It's tobacco perfection, plain and simple.
Like some of the other flavors I've reviewed from Indigo, in order to get the most out of this juice, you need to put some heat up against it. Sure, it's a tasty vape at 8-9 watts, there's no question, but it comes off as more of a straight tobacco blend...a damn good one, but the wide array of subtle nuances aren't as pronounced as they are with some additional wattage. On the Provari topped with a 2.5Ω atomizer, I spent most of my time with it at 5.2-5.3v yielding 10.8-11.2 watts, which brings all of the flavors to their individual peaks, produces an immense, but not uncomfortable throat hit, and voluminous clouds of thick, dense vapor. With my mech/RBA rig, I wanted to see just how far I could push this one. I used a Nemesis topped with a Nimbus, modded with dual 1/16" air intake, and made a dual twisted 28ga kanthal coil at .45Ω, wrapped on XC-116. The result was heavenly. Every flavor is amplified in perfect symmetry. The graham cracker remains a soft highlight to the pair of complimentary tobaccos with throat hit and vapor production going straight off the charts. Juice like this is rare, and vendors like Indigo, who earn not just one, but three perfect scores in the tobacco category (that's every tobacco I've reviewed from them so far) are unique. I don't say this often here, but for tobacco lovers, this is an absolute must try, and for those who enjoy a high quality tobacco vape every now and again, don't be surprised if you find Oorah your ADV.
Score: 20/20
