Hello all, a local shop in my area recently had an event where the owners of Red Rock Liquids came out and gave samples of their lines and discussed the flavors. I tried quite a few and enjoyed everything I tried, but my review is about 3 flavors that I have bought a couple of times since I met these great guys. Unfortunately, I did not catch their names (I feel bad now) but they were really nice guys and were quite knowledgeable about mixing and vaping in general. The flavors I'm reviewing are from their Signature Collection and I believe this was the line they launched with. They are all fruity flavors, and I was told they took great pride in their fruity vapes as they felt they captured very natural, juicy flavors and took time to perfect their blends. I must say, that was a pretty accurate statement as I can't get enough of these juices.

These liquids are all a 60/40 VG/PG blend, and I sampled them at 0, 3 and 6mg nicotine levels. They are available at www.redrockliquids.com for $20 for a 30mL bottle, and I paid $18 at my local shop. They are available in 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24mg nicotine strengths.

In case you were interested, I vaped these all on my Mutation X V4 RDA with dual 24/32 clapton coils: 5 wraps around a 2.4mm drill bit .22Ω

Peachy Peaks
Vendor description:
If you like Peach Tea, imagine vaping that delicious flavor. The inhale hits with a nice juicy peach taste, followed by the green and black tea flavor on the exhale to complete this amazing blend.

Vapor production: 2.5/5
Like I said, these juices are 60% VG so vapor production isn't gonna be overwhelming. I would say they perform solidly when compared to other 60/40 blends and the vapor production is definitely satisfying enough.

Throat hit: 2/5
At 6mg the throat hit on this liquid is stronger than I prefer, but I usually vape 3mg. It's on par with other 6mg liquids I have vaped in the past. At 0 there is no throat hit and at 3mg there is enough of a punch to the throat that it is satisfying, but not uncomfortable. Other tea vapes I have tried have tended to have a dry kind of throat hit causing cotton mouth, but I don't get that at all from this liquid.

Flavor: 5/5
This one is definitely my favorite out of the 3 I'm talking about today. The vendor's description is pretty spot on and I am quite impressed with how naturally their fruit flavors taste. On the inhale I get a wet, juicy, naturally sweet peach that is absolutely delicious. I don't really get green tea notes so much on the exhale, but I do get a really nice unsweetened black tea that is sweetened just enough by the peach. The vape leaves my mouth feeling wet; the flavors linger quite a bit and taste delicious even after the fact. This is definitely an all day vape for me and I can't recommend it enough, especially if you are a fan of drinking peach iced tea.

Overall: 5/5 ADV

Bananaberry
Vendor description:
A nice, evenly balanced mix of Strawberries and Bananas. The Strawberry flavor begins on the inhale, while the banana exhale leaves you with a tasty, mouth-watering aftertaste that you will make you want it again and again.

Vapor production:2.5/5
What I said about Peachy Peaks' vapor production rings true for Bananberry: typical for a 60/40 blend and doesn't leave me longing for more vapor.

Throat hit: 2/5
Again, my summary of Peachy Peaks will work here as well. None whatsoever at 0, just enough at 3, and a bit much(for me) at 6.

Flavor: 3.75/5
For this liquid, the vendor description is close but not as spot on as Peachy Peaks'. I get a very light, natural tasting strawberry with some definite banana undertones on the inhale and the banana takes over the exhale. I have had some banana vapes that come across as an almost Runts-esque candy taste and some that have a more natural flavor like you are biting into a banana. This one is somewhere in between. It's definitely sweeter than taking a bite out of a banana, but retains a very natural taste and doesn't venture into Runts territory. I do like the strawberry notes that I get, but I wish they were stronger! This is a very solid vape, but comes across as banana strawberry to me rather than strawberry banana.

Overall: 3.5/5

Blue Mountain
Vendor description:
The perfect balance between Down Home Sweetness of ripe juicy Blueberries with the rich tang of Pomegranate. Blueberry inhale, Pomegranate exhale, and delicious aftertaste.

Vapor production: 2.5/5
See above. Consistent with the other juices in their line

Throat hit: 2/5
Also consistent with the other juices.

Flavor: 4/5
Another pretty spot on description by the vendor! I must say these guys have really mastered getting a really natural, juicy fruit taste because that has been consistent for sure. I haven't tried many blueberry vapes as I had one that I really hated when I first started and it left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended, lol jk). The blueberry inhale in this vape is great! It really does taste like ripe, sweet blueberries and leaves your mouth feeling wet like Peachy Peaks. The pomegranate blends very well with the blueberry and adds a nice almost sour taste, acting well with the sweetness of the blueberries. The exhale is a delicious combination of the two and tastes very familiar but I can't quite place it. Either way, it's absolutely delicious and could be an easy 5/5 if this flavor profile gets your mouth watering.

Overall: 4/5

There you go guys, my writeup of a few from Red Rock Liquids. I would highly recommend these guys' liquid and I look forward to trying more (and grabbing a 120 of Peachy Peaks!)
