So, Im sure most of you have tried this juice and like me love it. It won the ECF best fruit in 2013. NicoTicket is well known and if you try any of their flavors you will be hooked. Here I would like to review Betelgeuse with the intent to cover the entire experience starting with the website, shipping and continuing with the packaging and vape experience.
Website: nicoticket.com
The site is simplistic, with the homepage advertising the awards they have won (ecf awards only). Links with drop down menus are across the top of the page. The site is very user friendly. They offer a success banner that you can add to your forum post that display when you quit smoking and how much money you have saved. They do a quick "about us" section with a large picture of Kent and Katy, along with what devices they use to test their juice. Next inline is the FAQ covering everything from shipping to nicotine strength, steeping and beginners guide ( all very informative and useful). If you go to the eliquid page each juice is listed in a grid type layout with great icons to represent flavors. They offer a lot of fruit flavors, custard/vanilla base flavors along with some exotic blends. They do have several products that really show the fun/kid side of nicoticket (perkins paste and roundhouse) this just real;ly demonstrates the love and fun they have for their craft. Most descriptions are in depth and are spot on; they also provide customers reviews text and video. Checkout is streamlined and very easy. Placed my order and within minutes had confirmation email sent. The next morning received a email saying my order is shipped and received my order in three days USPS. Excellent turnaround!!!!!
Packaging:
Bottles were packaged in a purple padded enveloped. Inside was an itemized sheet with hand written note and the bottles of liquid tighlty packed inside a bubble wrap bag. Also nicoticket included a zotz candy (found it strange but very welcomed, they are known to throw in extras from time to time, including free juice). Liquid is in a clear bottle with childproof cap. White printed label with company name and flavor printed in large easily read font (plane, no frills here). label also states size of the bottle (15ml), nicotine strength, and born on date. In small lettering it gives a warning, steep instructions and expiration.
Juice:
Juice is a golden color but still transparent. With a lower VG content the juice is not thick and syrupy. Smells of strawberry and apple ( very mouth watering)
The site describes this as a blend of raspberry, mango, pineapple and strawberry; they go on to say that the flavor profile is constantly changing!!!! I have been vaping this juice for a while now and ever changing is correct. Each fill of the tank has had a different fruit come out; I have gotten strawberry, apple even blueberry. The vape is sweet, but not over powering. At low voltage the vape is soft with a nice throat hit along with good vapor production. I taste more of an apple flavor at 3.5V. At a higher voltage the raspberry starts to shine, throat hit is still about the same and vapor production is plentiful. Over 4.5V it starts to taste burnt. One thing I have noticed with other juices is a thickening and darkening as you burn through the tank; this juice however has not resembled this characteristic which brings a big smile to my face.
Conclusion:
This has become one of my all time favorite juice. Each new tank fill has created a whole new experience and continues to delight. Kent and Katy are very active in the community, the whole team is very personable and customer service is stellar. I've had several conversations with their staff and every instance the staff has been helpful and friendly. Again this juice sets the bar high and if your into fruit bases this is a must. All in all I couldn't be happier and highly suggest you take a look at nicoticket and Betelgeuse.
HAPPY PLUMES!!!
