Got all of them yesterday, will be spending the next few weeks trying each one, and giving a run down as best as possible of each flavor. As you all have already seen, my flavor reviews are slightly different. Don't factor in personal taste (as in if I like it or not) but what it's going for. As always the usual tag line taste is subjective applies. Once they're all done will put them in a sticky here in the juice section if enough people clamor for it...

Started with Cinnablaze.

This is the first true cinnamon juice available from V4L I can remember (first released anyways). Cinnamon has a well earned reputation for being a carto/atty and tank killer, it's one of the roughest flavors on equipment. For throat hit junkies though, it's one of the few that can give th even at low nic levels. Needless to say been hoping V4L would carry this flavor for a long time. First will touch up on thickness, this juice is very thin for a wow, which means it's a higher pg juice, guessing in the range of 85/15 maybe 80/20 max. Vapor production matches that theory. It's not a cloud maker so to speak, but this isn't the type of juice you go for if that's your main goal. The flavor is reminiscent to me of a certain gum. Not an overwhelming chest burning type cinnamon like what has been my go to choice (one of the few non-V4L flavors I use for the aforementioned reason), but a slightly sweeter one that can be vaped by those who lack a high tolerance for heat. The reason people like cinnamon juice is throat hit, and this one has enough to spare. Quite possibly the highest th juice V4L has made yet. This juice can also take a lot of voltage, pushed it to 17.8w without any scorching. Warning though, as you bring up the wattage, you increase the th.

A few very important things to mention, do not use this juice with the delrin capped tanks if you own one. Filled a 3.5ml one with it last night, let it sit overnight, by this morning the tube was cracked all over. This juice will kill your cartos faster than any previous juice you've used from V4L. Got 4 refills with a wow carto before it was clogged, and only 12ml's through a tank with a 1.5ohm dc before it needed to be replaced.

Dunhall wow (taste is subjective)-

Dunhall flavor has been around a very long time actually in the premium variety, just not in the wow line. Will again start with thickness, this juice is another thinner type wow. Would guess 80/20-75/25 pg/vg ratio going by viscosity and flow rate. Vapor production matches the estimate pretty well. Throat hit on this juice is a little stronger than one would expect from a straight tobacco, which to me is a good thing. Just as special note here, when I talk about throat hit being high, I'm basing it off the flavor aspect not the nic strength. Only order 36mg (3.6%) but know how 36mg should hit. High vg juices will mask th at any level, and certain flavors can mimic the th of a higher nic juice. Anyways, Dunhall is supposed to be a very strong European tobacco. The opening note of this juice is exactly what you expect, and it travels on through the middle. The only issue I had was with the end note, was a very sweet almost berry/fruity taste like that of new menthol premium for those of you who have tried it. Very easily could just be my taste buds. As for wattage limits with this, another I had cranked up pretty high, got to 13.3w in a single coil before scorching, 15.1w in a dual coil. The berry after taste did lessen with the higher voltage.

Up next watermelon....

Wow Watermelon-

Yet another thin wow juice, again looking at a 85/15 range pg/vg ratio based on viscosity and flow rate. Not very surprising due to most fruit flavors are higher pg. Vapor production was little higher than expected for a thin juice (there are a few like that), throat hit was dependent solely on the nic content (again another common theme with fruit flavors). Flavor wise opening did indeed taste like watermelon, but at the end there was a distinct perfume taste. Usually don't steep chinese juices because by the time they've arrived here in the states their flavor has matured, but am going to try with this one in hopes that after taste dissipates. Was able to push this one to 12.8w before scorching on a single coil, 13.5w on a dc. The perfume taste did lessen with the higher voltage, so have hopes with a little maturity that will be corrected. Will touch up again on this flavor in 5-6days.

Next up is outlaw blend, another one of the wow juices I've been looking forward to.

Outlaw blend-

The first usual thickness of wow juice thus far from the new line. It's in the 70/30-65/35 pg/vg range. Vapor production is what you'd expect. Throat hit is high, especially for a non-menthol/mint flavor. It's described as an unfiltered tobacco taste on the site, for me it tasted very much like chewing tobacco. It's definitely a harsher flavor. Put this juice in a special category because of it's harshness and complexity- one you'll either love or hate. One other key thing to note on, the after smell to the non-vaper. Just like with No. 7, a few cigar flavors, etc. my wife won't let me vape this around her because of the awful after smell created by it. Forgot to include wattage limit, got it up to 13.8w with a single coil before scorching, 14.7w with dc.

Next up Java Breeze...

Java Breeze-

Wasn't sure exactly what to expect from this flavor, by it's name alone knew it would be a coffee menthol or mint mix, but wasn't sure what kind of coffee. This was another thicker juice, being in the 70/30 pg/vg range, with vapor production to match. The throat hit was surprisingly dependent on the nic strength, a rare occurrence with a coffee menthol. Here's the usual subjective part, the flavor was more reminiscent of a cappuccino than a dark coffee or espresso, and the breeze was far more mint than menthol. Would compare it to a lighter version of java mint without the heavy coffee after taste (think dipping a thin mint in a cappuccino), or to a lighter version of smilin premium. Wattage limits were again very high on this flavor, 15.1w on a single, 17.2w on a dc before scorching.

Next up is red energy....

Red energy-

Another in the 70/30-65/35 range based on viscosity and flow rate, but not on vapor production. It's by no means a stealth vape, but not nearly as much vp as it's thickness would indicate. This juice has a decent throat hit, slightly higher than what you would expect from it's nic percentage, but not overwhelming. Here's the subjective part, flavor wise wasn't so much a red hoofed animal so to speak, but more like something Frankenstein would create (how's that for not infringing on any copyright laws?). This will make some people unhappy, others ecstatic. Handled wattage very well for a sweeter flavor, pushed it to 12.9w in a single coil without scorching, and 14.2w in a dc.

Next up RY4. :)
