Flavor & Juice description from BLCK Website:

This is a delicious Icy cool blend of Pure and sweetened grape juice perfect for grape fanatics

Additional Information:

· Best mixed at 9% with 70vg/30pg

· Steeping Time: 3-4 days for full flavor

· Bottle: 10ml Original Chubby

· Recipe created by Theo Thiart

· Cost – R60 @ BLCK Vapour

· Make-able Amount – 110ml from 9% as recommended from 10ml

Drop Taste:

A sweet purple grape that reminds me of the purple chappies bubble gum but with ice as my tongue goes cold. I also get a slight sour taste almost like the juice you get while chewing that purple chappie which forms in your mouth.

SNV Notes

Mixed the Grape Ice one shot and after a decent shake, I added it to my Aqua Master RTA with fresh wick and started vaping. The juice is SNV approved but flavors aren’t popping yet and still muted.


3 Day Steep Notes

After 3 days the juice started getting together and blending nicely with the grape starting to pop and shine. Im starting to taste the sour I got from the drop test.

1 Week Steep Notes

Much the same as after the recommended 3 days but I feel that its smoother. No perfumey after tastes ect and the grape is great!

Taste and flavor notes

To me this grape isn’t a very complex recipe but it was decently put together cause I have mixed several purple, white and green grape juices and always found that one would get that purfumy notes if the grape % is too high but then would fade away if the % is made too little. In this One Shot the grape is perfect and works great. I couldn’t find the actual recipe to see what flavors were used but from my history of grapes, I suspect it to be Grape Candy from TFA..but I could be wrong.

Overall feedback and quality

Excellent well mixed grape juice with just the right amount of ice added as well as sweetner. Not overly sweet but not too little either, I like it and would recommend it to grape lovers like me! I think the very first juice I ever mixed was my own purple grape juice after finishing a bottle of Because Bubbles Matter – Urban Grape. This is similar but not as sweet.

So hope you guys enjoyed my first mix and review of the one shot and that i did it justice, feel free to give me some feedback, suggestions or likes! @Richio

Thanks for the review @StompieZA - very well described, grapes are not easy to work with, they are thin bitter and fade. Had to layer the hell out of this mix to make it smooth, slightly more textured and not bitter. This is 3 grapes layered together, and a smidge of black Currant + additives. Grapes are a mess to work with, but I'm proud of this one - it was a personal challenge for me.

I got this OS with my last order from BLCK. Haven't gotten round to mixing it yet. Guess I'm doing that tonight.

I got my one shot liquids last week and have already mixed them. I must say so far the bamango is my favourite and the one shot mixes makes it much easier for everyone to start mixing.

Mixed products. The steaping time is also very quick.

Great feedback @Silver, much appreciated as always. Glad that its useful and easy to read as that is the main point. I didnt want to over complicate it or write a book so for these reviews i will keep it short and sweet with as much information possible.

 

[Chukin'Vape]

@StompieZA

Just thinking out loud, will you also do a RDA test on these?

@StompieZA

Yeah will be doing RDA testing using Wasp Nano.

Once i have tested, i will update my review with the feedback.

Going forward, i will test the juices in Single and dual RTA's as well as my RDA, think excitement got the best of me and i posted before testing on my RDA

 

[StompieZA]

Ordered some 100ml chubby's from blck this moring and got it delivered around lunch which is awesome.

So i was finally able to mix all one shots together and start rolling with these reviews!

As you can see, i have been enjoying Grape Ice

So let the snv test begin using a Wasp nano RDA

After Mixing the One Shots last night, I installed a new Boom Coil Alien 27 on my wasp nano and started dripping and making SNV Notes.

I must say Captain cool is excellent from the get go, Some of the others seems a little muted and will require steeping.

I will add these SNV notes on each review and dont want to give out too much now.

All of them smell excellent, so im very excited to get testing after some steeping.

And now the wait begins...
The hardest part of all

Luckily these are all fruity and recommended steeps are around 3 days, so will leave them now and start testing next week. so writeups will start flowing in from next week.

Captain cool is my favourite with Jelly bomb from the new release @Dietz @DanielSLP - did a great job

Captian cool reminds me of those watermelon jelly candies you get couted with sugar and jelly bomb is a lemony type jelly candy. I havent viewed the recipes yet or read the flavour descriptions but im getting this so far. Bothe being really good as well

Believe it or not but i never liked ice or menthol... Yeah i know its two different things but ive come to realize that fruits go best with ice!!

I agree 100%
Fruity menthols are glorious
I find the ice / menthol / coolant enhances the fruit. Without ice its a bit muted and bland. With ice it pops!
And its more refreshing.

Captain Cool One Shot (VS)







Flavor & Juice description from BLCK Website:

Juicy watermelons mixed with fresh strawberry juice, served in a glass of crushed ice.

Additional Information:

· Best mixed at 10% with 70vg/30pg

· Steeping Time: 3-4 days for full flavor

· Bottle: 10ml Original Chubby

· Recipe created by Dr Store

· Cost – R60 @ BLCK Vapour

· Make-able Amount – 100ml @ 10% as recommended from 10ml

Drop Taste:
A nice juicy watermelon candy almost like the red and green sugar coated jelly candies you get with a nice amount of ice that cools your tongue. From the drop you dont get much sweetness or strawberry, i only get watermelon.

SNV Notes
This one shot is great at SNV, after giving the juice a decent shake i dripped the juice on the wasp RDA and im greeted by the watermelon candy type flavor that tastes exactly like those jelly sugar coated candies. Im not someone that tastes Strawberry most of the time but here you can see how the strawberry works with the watermelon and compliments it by making it stand bolder!

3 Day Steep Notes
After steeping for 3 to 4 days, the juice hasnt changed much from the initial SNV except that the juice color that has turned into a darker yellowish shade. The flavor profile is more a candy watermelon than an actual watermelon which i like. I have mixed watermelon before and always experienced that watermelon tend to fade or one would get used to the taste quickly and then won't taste the watermelon as prominent compared to that first couple of drags. With this watermelon, it seems that the strawberry defnitly helps the watermelon shine as it hasnt faded and im still getting that in your face sweet watermelon and ice!

Taste and flavor notes
While using this one shot as my daily juice for the last couple of days and switching between the Serpent mini, Aqua Master Dual and testing on the Wasp RDA, The flavor is very much the same but i personally prefer RTA's than using RDAs and find that for me the flavor is excellent in both my RTA's. On the RDA the flavor is good and on the same level as my RTA's. The sweet watermelon with hints of strawberry that blends together perfectly to make the watermelon stand out is great, tbh i never thought of it! I have been vaping between 55watts up to 70watts and the flavors are great but when pushing the watts up to 100, the juice becomes nice and sweet, almost too sweet for me but thats a personal preference and other vapers might love it sweeter! The amount of ICE used in the mix is good and not overpowering or too much so that it mutes flavors but rather helps to enhance the flavors. This juice without ICE wont be on the same level!


Overall feedback and quality
Watermelon isnt really my go to profile when it comes to fruits and because i have tried to previously mix a watermelon candy myself i wasnt expecting much but have to say that this is a really well put together watermelon with no funny after tastes and just the right amount of ICE! At R60 to make 100ml, this is a great buy if you love your fruity ice vapes.

I like it and would definitely buy this one shot again.

Testing Using:

Thanks for your reviews, @StompieZA

While I don't think the above is suitable to my taste profile, I will be monitoring this thread for more one-shot reviews.

Jelly Bomb One Shot (VS)

​

Flavor & Juice description from BLCK Website:

A delicious & vibrant explosion of fruity jelly candies!

Additional Information:

· Best mixed at 10% with 70vg/30pg

· Steeping Time: 3-4 days for full flavor

· Bottle: 10ml Original Chubby

· Recipe created by Dr Store

· Cost – R60 @ BLCK Vapour

· Make-able Amount – 70ml @ 14% as recommended from 10ml

Drop Taste:
Made this one shot and immediately tested it with a drop on the finger and was confused and expected more strawberryish notes but got lemony flavor notes. Now im a big lemon flavor fan and have experimented with lemon a lot from fruit to bakeries but i am still confused as i even searched for the recipe on ATF and found no Lemon flavors, Could be the Fuji Apple together with the Sour and Fizzy Sherbet or Strawberry Ripe thats giving me this lemon taste.

SNV Notes
Vaped this baby on the RDA and both my RTAs between 25 watts, 55 watts, 65watts and straight away i got the same Lemon jelly candy flavor. Now for a recipe with 4 different strawberries i would have expected some strawberry even for me that struggle to sometimes taste strawberries. After testing it on the different wattage levels, i found that the flavor changes a bit over the different watts which is nice but im mostly getting a lemony jelly candy or a jelly candy that reminds me of eating a hand full of Jelly Tots. Actually this is a very close Jelly Tots candy as you get a whole bunch of different flavors while vaping. The juice is not overly sweet which is a bonus and no off tastes and its not perfumey.

3 Day Steep Notes
After the 3 to 4 days steeping, i have been vaping the juice in between other flavors and on that first puff i still get that lemony taste which is nice and then as you continue vaping you start noticing other flavors like the apple that comes through a little bit and on higher watts i get some strawberry notes. The juice definitely gained a lot of traction after some steeping to help the 11 different flavors to blend together nicely. The flavor is good and as mentioned there is no bitterness, perfumey after tastes.

Taste and flavor notes
Buy a pack of jelly tots, take a hand full and eat them all together, thats what im getting from this juice profile. Now as per @Dietz he took all his most used and favorite concentrates of 2018 and blended them together to create the ultimate jelly candy explosion which i think came out great.



Overall feedback and quality
I think its a great quality juice and candy lovers would like this juice depending on their flavor preferences. Im 50/50 on this juice as i like lemon and the flavor is good but i personally do not like jelly tots as a candy and that is what im getting which i actually only realized while searching for a lemon candy picture. As soon as i saw the Jelly Tots, it hit the nail on the head. Its a well balanced and blended juice especially with so many different flavors!

Would i personally buy it again?
Sadly i wont because its not my preferred profile, but would still recommend it for someone looking for a fruity candy one shot.
