RADIOACTIVE

​

device Used: Provari v2 and The Russian 91% set to 3V and 1.1R for a power of 8.18W

Throat Hit (TH): Considerable. Tobacco-based eliquids works especially well with a strong TH. It's pleasant, satisfying, full and robust.

Vapor Production: RADIOACTIVE's clouds are dense and thick, even at the relatively low setting of 8.18W. They only get bigger with increased power settings. However, it's my opinion that around 8W yields to fullest and most nuanced flavor.
Personally, I'm not into cloud chasing--I'm all about flavor. Still, this one gives a dense cloud. So, I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Taste, Ingredients: The one ingredient confirmed by Clark is Sassafras Tobacco. Not a type of tobacco, its a spicy herb added to a tobacco base. Taste has been described as similar to root beer, but to this reviewer, it comes across as brandy aged in oak casks. Far from subtle, it's a strong, robust flavoring that present from the first second of inhale, through exhale and lingers on after the vape is completed.
The second flavoring is Clark's French Vanilla, which is in a class of it's own. Nothing else comes close, and Grant's Vanilla Custard, considered the 'Holy Grail' of Vanilla eJuices, pales in comparison. Consider: I ordered 100ml of GVC, and Frenilla shortly afterward. I still have over 3/4 of GVC left, and the only reason I vape it at all is to conserve Frenilla, which is available only occasionally and goes fast.
These two complement one another very well, without any detectable sense of overlap, competition or clashing. NT's French Vanilla (Frenilla) can make a full article in-and-of itself, and it does with the upcoming Frenilla review. For now, suffice it to say Sassafras Tobacco and Frenilla work together exceptionally well.

Conclusion -
Radioactive is hands-down my favorite vape ever. I've tried just about everything, your Boba's Bounty, Honey Pearry, you 5 Pawn'ses, Alice in Vapelands, and on and on, and I can say with 100% certainty that Radioactive is in a league of its own. After 'The Virus', Clark has crafted his 2nd masterpiece with RADIOACTIVE. Bare in mind de gustibus non est disputandum ( There is no disputing of tastes). That being said RADIOACTIVE is ORGASMIC.
I mean absolutely s***-balls wacko, certifiably-crazy freaky-deaky.
Just damn silly.
If it gets even better with more time, I'll start drooling, keel over, s*** myself and go into an orgasm-induced coma.

Questions/Comments are always welcomed.

Edit: I forgot to mention RADIOACTIVE is only available on a limited-time basis, but I've heard rumors and strongly believe it will be added to the lineup full-time once Clark's new lab is up and running.

 

[Kollin6618]

Lol I like your conclusion there. Will keep in mind.

 

[Jonathan]

So who makes it?

 

[StacyInOkla]

Great review as always! Once I read Sassafrass I though doh! that's what that was.

 

[StacyInOkla]

So who makes it?

Nicoticket. I believe it's a short run juice.

If they use sassafras in this I wouldn't use it. Here is a cut and paste from herbs2000.com:
"Way back in the 1960s researchers discovered that safrole, a substance present in this flowering tree, was a carcinogenic agent. It contributed to liver cancer in rats during experiments. With the result the FDA banned the bark, oil and safrole as a flavouring agent and as a food additive. At least 9% of sassafras oil has nearly 80% of the dangerous substance safrole making it unhealthy to use. Granted that it was used as a flavouring agent for root beers and for other beverages like tea. But experiments have left health officials nodding their heads in unison that it is dangerous. Manufacturers are selling regardless of the dangers involved. Today it is proven that a strong cup of tea with sassafras has 200mg of safrole. In 1976 FDA banned the sassafras tea. This is four times more than the prescribed usage for consumption. As the business has to go on some manufacturers are producing safrole free barks. That is the major reason why it has been in circulation in the health market. Despite this some experiments show that tumours are forming during animal testing. Further proving that sassafras has carcinogenic properties in its other parts too."

Fun fact, safrole is waht they make .... out of as well

Yeah...OK...but.....
Do you LIKE it???????????????!!!!
Another OUTSTANDING review, Tess!! Can't wait for your critique of Frenilla!!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

 

[StacyInOkla]

For those concerned about Sassafras hop on over to Nicoticket in the Forum Suppliers forum and ask Clark about it. He does address it in the thread Tesserat linked this post to.

 

[Bunnykiller]

sounds like a kewl juice... but does it glow???

 

[Tesseract]

So who makes it?

Good grief! Have to fix this now - It's made by Nicoticket, and available only on a limited-time basis (known as 'short run'). However, I have heard many rumors and strongly believe this one will be added to the rotation once Clark's new lab is up and running.

I'm gonna be frank with you here, you cannot go wrong with any of Clark & Katy's offerings. I still have (in Commandant Lessard voice) many, many MANY more NT eJuices to review. The hardest part is winnowing-down each one to be punchy and concise - there is SO MUCH to say about each flavor, and, being superfluous in nature, it's tough!

But, I shall soldier on, in the name of vaping excellence and to bring more attention to - in my opinion - the best eJuice manufacturer on the market.

I'm going to start counting the days. Good to see another Radioactive fan-addict!
Someone was surprised that it ended up in my Reo, but we know why. . . .

 

[vjc0628]

another thing I like about this one is it works good for me even at 6 mg

been trying to step down and don't mind my dissert stuff at 6mg
but the tobacco's have been stuck at 9 mg except this one hits well at 6mg

Totally. Robust and spicy in an intriguing way. Great TH, even at low nic levels. Goes without saying it will be my ADV, if/when it becomes available full time (oh, please, please, pretty-pretty please!).

Just can't seem to get tired of the sassafras, and as for the Frenilla, well, in my experience so far, everything gets better with Frenilla.

Down to the last little bit, dripping it to get the most out of it. The angst of slowly watching the level drop is excruciating!

Nice review

Everything ends up in my Reo cause maybe that's all I use.. haha

**Important Note: Sassafras is a known carcinogen. Therefore NO natural Sassafras is used or contained in the E-Liquid RADIOACTIVE.
Furthermore, all ingredients in Radioactive are 100% GRAS ("Generally Recognized As Safe," a designation by the FDA that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts). Simply put, Vape away - RADIOACTIVE is 100% safe.

Lastly, to all of you out there reading my review(s):

I apologize to everyone for any confusion and/or problems caused by my failure to clarify this most important and crucial aspect of RADIOACTIVE, and also for the omission of this information in the actual review.

Unfortunately, too much time has passed and I'm now unable to edit or correct the original post.
