wagnus8907's excessively long 26 juice collection review (Fancee, AiV, Mt. Baker, MANS, PBDragon)

[wagnus8907]

Have been vaping for a few months now, and have collected quite a few juices. Figured I would do a quick write up on what I have tried since my local store stocks some somewhat less known brands, and also give my opinion on some more well known brands I have tried.

Just a few bits about my vaping habits - I like strong flavors, I like gigantic plumes of vapor (who doesn't?), I do not care for a gigantic throat hit, and I prefer lighter nicotine content. I will try not to be biased in my reviews, but these tendencies certainly shape my preferences. Also, I use a Vamo V2 and a variety of clearomizers including Vision ego V2's, Kanger T3's, and Vapage Crystals. I also have a Volcano Tube Tank that I use for one specific juice (listed in the review).

First up, Miraculous Aqueous Nicotine Solution. This brand is stocked by my local store, which is why I have so much of it in my collection. It was my first experience in vaping, and overall it really is not too bad. All of these flavors came in house blend of PG/VG (not sure what the numbers are), and 18mg nicotine. Some are more of a novelty than anything, and nothing I would buy again or vape all day. I would recommend giving it a try if a local shop has it in stock, but most flavors I would not actively seek out.

1. Bacon

• Flavor - More salty and smoky than real bacon flavor. Reminiscent of bacon bits IMO. A nice curveball to have in the collection to break up the monotony of sweet flavors I have collected. It honestly does leave a somewhat oily mouthfeel. Very interesting stuff. I have to say I found it enjoyable.
• Throat hit - intense. very strong.
• Vapor - nice cloud of vapor. not the most of anything I tried, but near the top
• Opinion - this IS NOT an all day vape. I will probably keep some for shock factor and as a break from all the sweet stuff I love to vape. It is good, not great.

2. Banana

• Flavor - nearly identical to banana runts candy
• Throat hit - very mild
• Vapor - middle of the road. not a plume, but enough to be satisfying
• Opinion - take it or leave it, really. Not great, not awful

3. Fire and Ice

• Flavor - one thing came to my mind - Big Red. very strong cinnamon, and a faint touch of mintiness
• Throat hit - crazy strong, almost too much for me.
• Vapor - average.
• Opinion - I really do like the flavor of the stuff, but it feels like a donkey kick in the chest. If you want a huge throat hit and intense flavor, give it a whirl.

4. Irish Coffee

• Flavor - espresso coffee, and whiskey. Lots of whiskey.
• Throat hit - just about right for me
• Vapor - pretty adequate vapor production. I was pleased
• Opinion - this is one I will keep in my collection. It is not a home run, but I think that they did a great job capturing the flavor they intended. You really do get a kick of whiskey coming through the strong black coffee.

5. Cinnamon Roll

• Flavor - amazing. I love it. Definitely get the bakery flavor, but it is much heavier on the cinnamon filling. Very good stuff
• Throat hit - a little strong for me, enough that I wouldn't call this an all day vape
• Vapor - just about perfect. pretty nice plumes consistently.
• Opinion - One of my personal favorites. I really do love it. I may try a bit lower nicotine to see if it makes it a touch less harsh, but I will always have a bottle of this around

6. Watermelon

• Flavor - basically like a jolly rancher, just not quite as sweet. Would be better if it WAS more sugary sweet.
• Throat hit - actually a bit weak for my liking. not really much at all.
• Vapor - not quite enough for me.
• Opinion - I would not recommend this or buy it again. Just underwhelming all around.

7. Donut

• Flavor - I really do not know what this tastes like. Kind of vanilla-extract-ish. It tasted like a failed attempt at donut glaze flavoring.
• Throat hit - average, middle of the road.
• Vapor - decent vapor production
• Opinion - I think that this may have been a factory mess up. Maybe I hope it was. It just was not good. The sample I tried in the store was a lot better, but the bottle I took home just tasted like nothing.

8. Papaya

• Flavor - WOW, this stuff is SWEET. in a good way, though. Very nice, tropical fruit flavor. Aftertase is somewhat organic as well, almost like a real piece of fruit. I quite enjoyed this flavor
• Throat hit - minimal throat hit, but I did not mind with this flavor.
• Vapor - just barely enough to make me happy, but it did.
• Opinion - I loved this flavor. I will keep it in my rotation at all times. It is super sweet, but on the exhale you really do get a flavor on your tongue that reminds you of eating a real piece of fruit. This is not an all day vape but it is so good.

9. Mojito

• Flavor - Yummy stuff. Nice balance of mint and lime. Also a small hint of rum present.
• Throat hit - very solid throat hit, but not overwhelmingly so
• Vapor - could make a bit more vapor. the only shortcoming of this juice is this.
• Opinion - This is another juice I will not be without. It is the closest thing I have tasted to the Jet mojito, which was one of the first flavors I tried when I began vaping. Unfortunately, Jet does not sell their juices, so this is the next best thing. I like it. A lot. I would place this on my all day vapes list.

10. Gummy Bear

• Flavor - pretty accurate Haribo Gummy bear representation. Not too shabby
• Throat hit - more than I expected for the flavor. almost too much for such a sweet juice
• Vapor - almost none. tried in multiple clearomizers and it just didn't vape well
• Opinion - almost made the cut, but the lack of vapor and strong throat hit made it not worthwhile

11. Watermelon Mojito

• Flavor - VERY nice flavor. Minty, watermelony, not too sweet
• Throat hit - pretty strong throat hit, but it actually works well with the mint
• Vapor - wish it made more vapor
• Opinion - worth buying, but not an all day vape. If it made more vapor I may be in love.

Next is PBDragon. This is another brand my local shop just started carrying within the last 2 weeks. Have only gotten a chance to try 2 flavors, but I will be trying more in the near future. House blend of PG/VG (i believe the website says it is 60/40) and 18mg nicotine. These were very fresh when I bought them, and will need another 2 weeks of steeping at least before they are fully ready to go. They were still good, though. Very encouraging.

1. Dragon's Blood

• Flavor - mostly an artificial strawberry taste. The list in the store said it was a white chocolate and strawberry, but I am not getting the white chocolate. It needs steeping time for sure, so I will not rule it out yet.
• Throat hit - very good throat hit. not overwhelming, but just as it should be for the flavor.
• Vapor - great vapor production, very pleased
• Opinion - So far, I do actually like it. I hope that after steeping the white chocolate comes through. In any case, though, the strawberry flavor is pretty solid. Almost reminds me of Wonka Fun Dip powder. Thats a good thing in my book.

2. Snap Dragon Cookie

• Flavor - Amazing. Definitely get the almond cookie flavor strongest of all, but the notes of caramel pop as well.
• Throat hit - pretty strong on the throat hit, but I think it suits the flavor well.
• Vapor - Very adequate vapor production. Pleased by it.
• Opinion - This is one of my favorites right now. The flavor is pretty complex, and I can't seem to put it down once it is on my Vamo.

Third is Mt. Baker. House blend (80/20) and 12mg nicotine. This stuff is good. Really good. And shipping is light speed. I found that all flavors needed extra flavor shots. Without, they probably wouldn't be quite strong enough for me. I got 3 extra shots in each flavor at the recommendation of a friend who uses Mt Baker frequently. Also, I would recommend steeping this for a bit. It is mixed fresh, and I literally taste the flavors improving daily. Mt Baker does very nice work. These flavors are all solid.

1. Lemonade

• Flavor - perfect lemonade flavor. Exactly like the fresh lemonade you get at fairs in the summer. Incredible.
• Throat hit - nice and mild, just the way I like it
• Vapor - could make some more, but it is liveable.
• Opinion - I wish I could buy a gallon of it. I would say that the extra flavor is needed. If this did not have 3 extra shots, it'd be too weak.

2. Berry Cream

• Flavor - very nice and simple berries and cream flavor
• Throat hit - super mild throat hit, but the flavor would not be right with a big punch in the throat.
• Vapor - nice vapor production
• Opinion - definitely worth buying. I like the delicacy of it. Very creamy and mildly sweet. Good stuff!

3. Pineapple Upside Down cake

• Flavor - pretty much spot on what the title says it is.
• Throat hit - mild, but nice.
• Vapor - very good
• Opinion - Mt Baker is super at making an accurate tasting juice. This is no exception. I like it, a lot! just like a bite of pineapple upside down cake!

4. Morning Vape

• Flavor - I taste coffee, but I cannot put my finger on the other flavors I taste. The website says cherry. I definitely smell cherry, but I mostly taste coffee with some type of unidentifiable sweetness. It is not sugary sweetness, definitely fruity. Very intruguing. I like it.
• Throat hit - Another mild hitting juice
• Vapor - just about right.
• Opinion - I have to say, even though I cannot solidly identify the exact flavor with the coffee, I love this stuff. I will be buying a large bottle soon.

Fourth on the list is Fancee Juice. Amazing quality stuff, I love it. I order house blend, 75/25 and 12mg nicotine. I found that they were great right out of the box. I did not see much difference after 1 week of steeping. I cannot say enough about the quality of this juice. It looks different than any other brand. It is silky, almost like velvet when dripping. You don't get much higher quality in the juice market.

1. Cloudarita

• Flavor - Margarita. Spot on. Perfect.
• Throat hit - Just right for the flavor. Strong but not too harsh. Very, very nice.
• Vapor - Lots and lots of thick vapor. Superb.
• Opinion - This stuff is just luxurious. So delicious. Such a perfect flavor. So good.

2. French Vanilla

• Flavor - Amazing. Exactly what I wanted from a french vanilla flavor. Sweet, but balanced.
• Throat hit - almost absent, actually.
• Vapor - very nice vapor. very enjoyable vapor
• Opinion - I like this flavor a lot. It does not really give any throat hit at all, but it is not a bother.

3. Butterscotch

• Flavor - exactly like butterscotch candies. So scrumptious.
• Throat hit - very good throat hit. not too strong, but you feel it when you take a drag.
• Vapor - superb. excellent. perfect.
• Opinion - this is the second best flavor I own. It is just amazing. Buttery, sweet, smooth. Delicious in every way. This is the only flavor I use in my Tube Tank, and for some reason it works perfectly. I was on the verge of tossing the TT in the trash, but I had one cartomizer left and decided to run the sample of butterscotch I got from Fancee in and try it. Tastes better in this than it did in a T3 of a Vision V2. Needless to say, I got ordered a bottle immediately and will always have this in my rotation

4. BAM

• Flavor - sweet, fruity explosion. Defintiely strong on apple and mild on berry and melons.
• Throat hit - nice and mild
• Vapor - very, very good vapor as is expected from Fancee at this point.
• Opinion - not the best Fancee flavor, but worth purchasing for sure.

5. McIntosh Magic

• Flavor - real apple flavor, not candy.
• Throat hit - very mild.
• Vapor - nice vapor production
• Opinion - I do not think I would buy a huge bottle, but worth having in the rotation. Prettyfairly accurate real apple flavor. Refreshing to taste a fruit flavor that is not overwhelming on sweetness.

6. Joe's Java

• Flavor - Not strong enough for me, and not super coffee tasting
• Throat hit - Decent throat hit.
• Vapor - Amazing vapor, which Fancee seems to have mastered,
• Opinion - I do not know if it is just because I didn't get extra flavor shots, but this is the lone disappointment from Fancee. The flavor just didn't cut it for me.

Last, and most certainly not least, Alice in Vapeland. IMO, this stuff is the best juice on the market. Such delicate and delicious flavors. And CLOUDS of vapor from all flavors. House blend PG/VG, 11mg nicotine for all flavors. A week or 2 of steeping definitely improves these, but they are top shelf right out of the box. Also, do not fear the wait for AiV. It is so well worth it. I can assure anyone with any doubt that you WILL NOT be disappointed. You may feel like dying after a week or 2 waiting for the package to ship, but when it arrives you'll be in heaven.

1. Twas Brillig

• Flavor - Delicious blackberry and hints of bakery goodness hidden deep inside. Delectable, yet understated.
• Throat hit - Mild, but perfect for the flavor
• Vapor - HUGE plumes of vapor. I mean clouds. Fills my living room with a fog very quickly.
• Opinion - A must have. No doubt top shelf stuff.

2. A Quiet Morning

• Flavor - Very nice green tea with passionfruit. Pretty much perfectly accurate, very delicious.
• Throat hit - Mild, very mild. But once again it suits the gentle nature of the flavor well.
• Vapor - massive plumes.
• Opinion - another of my all time faves. Great stuff. Buy some and you'll love it.

3. Zombie Apocalypse

• Flavor - This stuff is the greatest of all time. Sincerely nothing can beat it. Delicious strawberry with cupcakey notes. So, so good. Incredible.
• Throat hit - mild, but perfect.
• Vapor - massive vapor production. just plume after plume.
• Opinion - this is my all time favorite vape. It is delicious, it makes clouds of vapor, and even the smell of it just makes your mouth water, I go through this so fast I can't even describe it. I got a 60mL bottle a week and a half ago and it's almost gone already. I cannot get enough. If this was the only juice left in the world, I would be perfectly happy. I can't get tired of it no matter how hard I try.

I highly recommend MBV, FJ, and AiV. They are top shelf juice makers. Quality is evident as soon as you open the package.

That's it for now. I know these are short little reviews, but it's about as in depth as most people probably care to read. I already have some new flavors on the way from MBV and AiV, and will continue to review as I get vapemails.

If you have any questions, feel free to post here or PM me. I would be glad to help.
