- Amazing build quality
- Excellent flavour
- Quick firing

- Short circuit protection

Cons :
- Minor Leakage when overfilled
- Filling the tank

In Conclusion:

I absolutely love this device and I honestly can not find anything wrong with it. It is simple to use, light weight and compact, and it is rocking on the flavour and vapour department.

As with any other device, the biggest issue I always have is leakage. But with this one, I did not experience it, only when I overfilled I had this issue. I have left the device lying down and upside down to test the leakage and was pleased with the results. I am just not drop testing this one.

When the device is fully charged, depending on usage the battery life should last you roughly 2-4 days depending on your usage and the really nice thing is that it only takes 3 hours to fully charge. I used the device mostly on 55W and changed between fruity to desserty flavours a lot to see how the coil reacts to it. Week and a half later and we are still good on the coil front.

I also attached the 510 base to the Ultem tank and used it for a day on my Rincoe Mechman on around 40W, did not experience any issues although I think this tank looks best on the Cumulus in my personal opinion.

You can really see the hard work that went into the design and development into this device. Regarding the price, as I will be asked that question. The RRP is R 999.95 in my mind 1k. Yes, I know for Twisp it is on the pricey side, but I really really think it is worth every cent.

Hi @Chanelr

Thanks for the review

Is this a MTL or DL device?
I may have missed it but didnt see that in your review
 
Happy Saturday fam.
Review for today is Black Raz from @Sickboy77 . This juice is just launching today. So if you are in Durban head down to Hotbox031 and grab yourself a bottle.

whats next-1.jpg
 
Important Infor.jpg

Juice Name: Black Raz
Manufactured By: Sickboy77 Eliquids
Flavour Profile: Blackcurrant, kiwi and raspberry.
Packaging: 60ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 2 and 5 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from @Sickboy77 for review purposes. This review is done on the 2mg.

Please note this is a Limited Edition flavour, just lauched today and available at Hotbox031 in Durban only.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is pretty eye catching. I has an image of raspberries and mint leaves and because the label is black the name stands out properly with all the other necessary information.

With the finger tasting test I got the sweet but not oversweet taste of raspberry, the blackcurrant and a light kick of the kiwi.

With inhale I found that the flavours are a softish flavour almost like a candy. You will get the taste of the raspberry, blackcurrant and kiwi. None of the flavours overpower each other and the flavour is also not over sweet.

Upon exhale this is again one of those juices where the flavour profile is consistant and doesn't change at all.

I find that the flavour performs great on both RDA's, the RTA and the tank. I even had a taste in the Twisp Cumuls to compare, spot on and consistant flavour. Now bring out an iced version pretty please.

Would I buy a bottle again? Solid yes.

Devices/Setup Used :
Coil Art Dpro 133 with the Dpro RDA (dual)

Juice Name: Blackcurrant Ice
Manufactured By: Liq-it
Flavour Profile: Sweet, tart blackcurrants with refreshing ice.
Packaging: 60ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from @Pho3niX90 at The Vape Den for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is purple with the logo big, the name of the juice, white outlines of the fruits and all necessesary information is visible. The other cool thing is the 'i' of the logo is a mod. No PG/VG levels visible.

With the finger tasting test I expierenced a very strong yet not very sweet blackcurrant taste along with a lot of ice.

With inhale I got the taste of the sweet blackcurrant then the ice follows. I do feel that the ice is a bit overpowering on this one.

Upon exhale the flavours are mostly the same, the ice is still one too much on this one.

Flavour is good on the single coil RDA and that is about all I can say. You really can't screw up a single flavour juice.

Would I buy a bottle again? Sadly, no.

Hi Chanel!

Thanks for the great reviews, I've always read them to help consider juices!

I was just wondering if you ever do a "blind test", without reading the composition and flavor profiles? I was just thinking this would add to your great reviews, as sometimes when I think I'm tasting like an orange, I usually taste orange, and I've noticed a friend of mine does "blind" smell tests of my flavors, and sometimes comes up with flavors that I've not considered part of the juice profile, but indeed has been used such as coconut candy example.

Keep up the great work.

Looking forward to hearing your views on Stroopwafel @Chanelr !!

Hi @Beserker786 to be honest, not really hey. Sometimes I taste things that are not mentioned on the flavour profiles and sometimes I don't taste things that are mentioned on the flavour profiles. I have done a few reviews that this has happened before.

I do however sometimes get flavours for testing long before release for example @Sickboy77 that sent me flavours with just the names.
Which leaves me on the guessing game and purely give my feedback on what I taste and how I experience the juice. Very funny if you taste something that is not even close to being correct :)

Juice Name: Stroopwafel
Manufactured By: Mr. Hardwicks'
Flavour Profile: Crispy waffle filled with creamy caramel & maple syrup.
Packaging: 75ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 2.5 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Mr. Hardwicks' for review purposes.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label has a very oldish design to it, which I absolutely adore as it is very heritage. With the name big and bold, necessary warning signs and nic strength. The PG/VG levels are not indicated.

With the finger tasting test you get the taste of the sweet caramel and maple syrup, the freshly baked waffles and a very harsh throat burn.

With inhale I get rather sweet but not oversweet taste of the caramel and maple syrup. Then the taste of the freshly baked waffles jump on your palate. I think the balance between the flavours is good and flavours don't compromise the each other.

Upon exhale the flavours are consistant, no flavour overpowers each other and all the flavour components hit your palate all at once with exhale.

This flavour for me personally is awesome in the tank around 60W. To best explain what I experienced, is those little damn expensive waffles you get at Starbucks (if you are lucky enough to get your hands on them in South Africa). The flavour is pretty similar to that minus the sugar overload.

Would I buy a bottle again? I believe so.

Juice Name: Mad Mango
Manufactured By: Flavair/Blackstone Distribution
Flavour Profile: Mango with a cool undertone of mint.
Packaging: 120ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from @Vape Republic for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is very straight forward, black and orange. Brand name and flavour very visible. With proper warning signs. Sadly, the PG/VG levels are not indicated.

With the finger tasting test I got a very sweet and tangy taste of mango, and more than just an undertone of mint.

With inhale I get a fair amount of mango and mint, though not as sweet as with the finger tasting test. I think the balance is also good, but I would have rather opted for ice instead of mint.

Upon exhale the mango flavour does subside a bit and the mint comes through a bit more than on inhale.

Flavour is best on the dual RDA. Although I love my mango flavours and ice, this flavour does not tickle my tastebuds.

Would I buy a bottle again? It's a no.

Juice Name: Strawberry Macaroon
Manufactured By: Dinner Lady
Flavour Profile: A combination of creamy almond coconut macaroons topped with a delicious serving of fresh strawberries.
Packaging: 30ml easy dripper bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 30 and 50mg
PG/VG Ratio: 50PG/50VG

These nic salts were sent to me by Dinner Lady South Africa for review purposes and this review is done on the 50mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

This juice falls under the Salts range. The design of the label is pink, white and silver. There is also a big warning sign and all other information you might need.

Upon inhale, except for the harsh throat hit as it is 50mg. The creamy almond coconut hits your palate first and it is rounded off nicely with the taste of fresh strawberries. It finds a solid middle ground between over-sweet and too sweet.

With the exhale the flavour stays exactly the same which is really what I am looking for in the perfect salts. I personally think with this type of mix it can get a bit tricky to blend the flavours together perfectly and with nic salts it is a completely different ball game.

Preferred device on this on? Hard to say.

Will I buy a bottle again? Maybe, but rather the 30mg.

Juice Name: Carbide
Manufactured By: Northern Craft Vapes
Flavour Profile: Sweet grape and a shot of ice
Packaging: 30ml easy dripper bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 15 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 40PG/60VG

These Nic Salts were sent to me by Northern Craft Vapes for review purposes.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is purple with the name standing out a lot, the flavour profile and all other necessary information you might need.

Upon inhale the flavour is this sweet delicious candy-ish grape taste with an good level of ice.

With exhaling I am so glad that the flavour is the same to inhale. Little bit on the sweet side for my tastebuds, but once I started I could not stop. It also has a good blend between the grape and the ice.

Will I buy a bottle again? I think so.

Juice Name: Gupta Frozen Assets
Manufactured By: Rebel Revolution Vape
Flavour Profile: Strawberry, Kiwi and Grape (Icy)
Packaging: 30, 60 and 120ml Easy Dripper
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This flavour was sent to me from Kobus AKA @BaD Mountain at Revolution Vape for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The 30ml bottle comes packed in a nifty little box and both the box and the bottle's label matches. The design itself is more retro and come on, who doesn't just love this name.

The label shows all relevant information, the PG/VG ratio, the nicotine strength, etc. You can also see the name of the brand and juice very clearly.

With the finger taste test, I get the grape flavour, mixed with the strawberry, the kiwi and ofcourse the ice. Flavours taste well blended.

Upon inhale I first get the taste of the grape, more a candy grape but grape. Followed by the sweet taste of strawberries, light dazzle of the kiwi and a decent amount of ice rounding the flavour off.

With exhaling same flavour inhale, except I don't taste the kiwi. But there is still a good balance between the flavour profiles.

I find that the flavour is released best on the RTA and I find this to be a semi-ish ADV.

Would I buy a bottle again? At the moment it's a 50/50.

Juice Name: Mango to the Max (no mint)
Manufactured By: Prime Vape
Flavour Profile: Sweet, fresh and exotic tropical ripe mango.
Packaging: 60ml Easy Dripper
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3, 6, 12 and 18mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Prime Vape for review purposes. Review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is very notable showing all relevant information with a cool little comic image of Max, the PG/VG ratio, the nicotine strength, the price, etc. You can also see the name of the brand and juice very clearly.

With the finger tasting test I get the taste of the sweet tropical mango, not much to it.

With inhale I get the taste of the sweet juicy mango, think the level of sweetness is pretty good.

Upon exhale the mango flavour flourishes even more on your palate.

Flavour is good on the RTA. Semi-ish ADV but I really honestly prefer the ice version.
