There are a few suppliers that pop up on the Suppliers Board that I simply can't pass up. Eekaa Chu was one of them. I knew Eekaa long before she became a supplier, so I couldn't resist placing a yummy order. And yummy it was.

Here is what I ordered:

24mg, 80PG, 20VG

- Sticky Fingers
- Eternal Holiday
- Country Fair Crumble
- Nanner Puddin'
- Voodoo Lady


Like any well-trained juice connoisseur, the first thing I did was give each one a sniff.


The Smell Test


Sticky Fingers - The description leaves nothing to the imagination. The flavor is obviously Cake Batter. I'd never really tried a cake batter flavor before, so I picked it up. The smell of it is absolutely amazing. It was like I stuck my face in a bowl of yellow cake batter and took a big wiff. Exactly that, nothing more or less, and absolutely mouth watering. There have been very few moments in my vaping life, where I got a real, honest-to-goodness urge to lick the top of a juice bottle. But this was one of those times.


Eternal Holiday - One of Eekaa's most infamous flavors. I picked it up simply because of its infamy. The description tells you that it brings you back to fond childhood memories of Christmas. The smells reminds me of being curled up on my granny's floor while she baked Christmas goodies, the aroma of which filled the house. It's a very delicate, caramel type scent.


Country Fair Crumble
- I got this one because I simply love apple vapes, especially if they are combined with cinnamon.. add sugar and bakeries into that mix, and you've sold me. The smell isn't far off from the promise of the description. I don't know where country fair comes into play, but I pick up a very sweet apple scent that mingles with the "crumble" aspect of cinnamon and sugar.


Nanner Puddin' - I've been pretty obsessed with Banana vapes lately so I decided to give this one a shot. I'm interested to see how the pudding represents itself, I'm not usually big on anything that is supposed to taste "creamy" so, she's got a lot to live up to. The smell of this is very non-foretelling of the flavor, at least I hope so. All I really pick up is a sweet and light banana scent, but honestly the banana part might just be my brain. It's a very, very light smell.


Voodoo Lady
- As many people have said before - This smells familiar. For some reason the first thing that pops in my head when I sniff this, is Top Vapor's "Grandpa's Mix". Which is also entirely indescribable. So, I guess we'll have to wait for the taste test to figure this one out.



The Taste Test


Sticky Fingers - One of those juices that tastes just like it smells. It's absolutely divine - An instant favorite. Great TH, a surplus of vapor and truly amazing taste. I have to say that the inhale of this flavor leaves a bit to be desired, it almost taste a little perfume-y, but that is something I am more than happy to deal with for the taste upon exhale. This juice is the real deal, and the after taste is the most realistic feeling I've had with vaping yet. It literally tastes like I just licked a spatula clean. I am very impressed. I WILL be ordering this again. It is the only vape that actually satisfies a sweet craving. Holy crow.. Holy grail.


Eternal Holiday - WOW. I've heard good and bad, and I'm glad I decided to pick it up anyway. This is a complex flavor but I'll do my best to describe it. I taste apples, cinnamon.. and something sweet that I can't place my finger on, it all blends together with another something I can't place my finger on. If you've ever had Fried Apple from Madvapes or Cinnamon Apple from DIYFS - It is reminiscent of those, but better. Without the "Cheap" taste. It really reminds me of RippleInStillWater's Apple Cinnamon Pancake. It definitely has some sort of warm gooey flavor to it. It's another keeper, for sure. And has -amazing- TH!


Country Fair Crumble - Quite superb. It's actually a little similar to Eternal Holiday, but not quite. This reinforces my suspicions that there is some apple in Eternal Holiday, because she says there's apple in this one. This is a much less mysterious flavor, it's pretty straight forward. It could easily become my favorite due to the simplicity in taste and deliciousness all at the same time. It's a mellow, low key kind of vape, not to say that it lacks flavor at all. But it's the kind of flavor you can vape all day and not get tired of, not get overloaded by. When I vape it, I think "Apple Cobbler". Which I think was her aim - So good job, Eekaa!!


Nanner Puddin - This one is real different. The banana flavor is very very similar to say, a banana lollipop. The puddin' flavor comes through in the exhale, but it's not that sickening 'cream' flavor that I've come to hate. It's more of a gentle, sweet vanilla. The one thing I notice first about this flavor is that it doesn't seem to have the same POW as the other flavors, both in taste and moreso in Throat Hit. Not so say that it doesn't have those qualities, they are just much more mild. It's sweet and delicious, and very gentle. I would qualify this as my new "After a relaxing hot shower" vape, right before I brush my teethe and tuck in.

Voodoo Lady -
Well isn't this different. It's truly like nothing I've ever vaped before.. But not in a bad way. I wouldn't classify it as Tobacco.. or Sweet.. or Sour.. But maybe Spicy. It's got the most complex blend of mystery I think I've ever tasted. It reminds me of my early summer vacations in Long Island, sitting on the beach late at night. I can't wait to vape it this summer in that exact scenario. It's mellow, mild, yet spicy. With a crazy amount of undertones. It doesn't blow me away, it doesn't leave me feeling sick. It just.. is. Great TH, great vapor.. excellent flavor. I wish I could tell you exactly what it tasted like.. You'll just have to try it yourself..


Eekaa doesn't have a website up, but you can view her flavors, prices and customization options, as well as place orders here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rand-opening-order-thread-come-sit-spell.html

You won't be sorry!

Happy vaping :vapor:

Voodoo Lady is very good. I just grabbed 30 ml of it and it is totally worthy of my new reo grand... easy to vape again and again.

Reminds me a lot of ripple effect - less bite and more complexity.

Very good reviews Sallana!

* The base of SA's liquid is very good. It holds up at 6v. 3-4 drips and the flavor doesn't fade quickly.
Reminds me of Backwoods Brew's and Want2Vape's base... clean, lots of vapor and no chemical taste whatsoever.

The flavorings are quite good. Not ordinary at all. Their flavor pops... not too strong... easy to vape and gentle on my mouth.

Eekaa, you are obviously very talented at making quality and unique juices. Thanks for doing it right and giving us something different.

I can't wait to try more flavors.

Got my attention with that review, Sal! Just placed my order for Flakey Angel and Choc.Sticky Fingers;)

I usually avoid chocolate like the plague but seeing how sticky fingers is soooooooo good, I might have to try the chocolate version as well. And Flakey Angel is totally on my list, let me know your thoughts!

Tried both flavors today. Used V4L blank coolcarts on both 3.7V kr808 batt and 5V GLV2. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Flakey Angel tasted like vaping flavorless juice. The CSF was only marginally better. If I used my imagination, I could detect a slight flavor on the exhale. Maybe I'm missing the "gene" necessary to taste the flavors in these juices, IDK, or maybe they just need to steep??

Wow, just placed a 1st time order yesterday. Hope mine are not like that. Did you contact the vendor?

I hesitate to contact the vendor, as I seem to be the only person who has had a disappointing experience with their juice. The same thing happened when I tried KBV juices, so I'm thinkin the problem is with me:(

......it's not just you. I've tried various KBV flavors that seemed to fade to nothing after the first draw. I have requested extra flavoring with them, too. The problem with adding extra flavor (at least with KBV juices, and the owner warned ahead of time about this) is that the balance can then be "off", resulting in weird tastes. There are only two KBV flavors I really like so far with extra flavor; Jamaican Ginger Mint and Candy Bar. Those are nice and I've reordered them. I ordered the OMG with extra flavor and it resulted in a really strong butter-like flavor......... a discard.

I do like a couple of Southern Ambrosia's juices a lot - the Sweet Peach Tea (tastes exactly like Snapple peach tea) and the 'Nanner Pudding, which I think tastes just like that, or banana bread. Others, well, not so much; they're a little weak, like you said.

maybe the juice just isnt for you, it happens. taste is so subjective and what one person loves another might not. i think most of us (i know i have) have read great reviews for a particular juice or vendor, then tried it and werent impressed or the flavors described just didnt come through, ive had that experience with several juices and vendors that are surrounded by hype.

anyways, i ordered the flakey angel, peach sweet tea, and got a sample of betty sues bliss cookie, i absolutely love them all and will be trying alot more of her juice. the flakey angel tastes just like a coconut macaroon cookie which is one of my all time favorites, the flavors in this one really pack a punch, not weak at all to me. the sweet peach tea is so good, the tea and peach flavors come across perfectly, the bliss cookie is a caramel butterscotch cookie with a secret ingredient and wow.. its awesome. ive tried alot of vendors and these are promising, i have a feeling she'll join KBV as my other favorite juice vendor.

I'm envious and so wish I had the ability to taste what you are describing! I am allergic to gluten and can't have the real thing anymore:(

I don't care for KBV either so not to worry and alot of other ones too. I have very few vendors that I buy from. Most are too weak or tasteless or just bad tasting IMO - Thats why I'm game to try new vendors that offer samplers first.

Personally, and I don't mean to hate on carto lovers - But I think you should try an atomizer. lol Nothing has EVER tasted good to me in a carto and I've tried plenty of them.

Personally, I don't mean to hate on atty lovers :) -- but if you are a carto lover, the flavor needs to be great on a carto. Using an atty to taste is a moot point other than to eliminate a juice that tastes yuck from the get-go, in my experience -- and I've tried plenty of atties. Unless you are willing to switch to using an atty for certain juices, you may as well try them on what you plan to use them with and see if it vapes well for you or not...

Or, you could try them on different cartos and see how it goes -- there are lots of variations out there, now, and they are all not created equal nor vape the same, including CE2s.

FWIW, I was never able to get any real flavor from KBV "joose" from any atty, a carto or a CE2, various ohms, voltages and connections (808, 901, 510, 306, 401) other than one certain fruit dessert that still remains in my Top 3 Worst Flavors Ever category.

Not being snarky, here, at all. Just wanted to let MsOcean know her inability to taste certain juices is in no way a "defect" and that she is not alone..on that or with her preference for using cartos!:)

Awww, thank you Pokey! I was feeling a little "defective" there, for awhile, but your kind words made me feel much better!

You are very welcome, MsOcean, glad you are feeling better!
Or, maybe, we are both "defective"?? In that case, at least we've got each other, LOL!

Good luck with the atties!
