Juice Name: Peach Iced Tea
Manufactured By: Craftsmen Vape co
Flavour Profile: Perfectly balanced sweet peach, infused with our special subtle tea mix, with a bit of coolness.
Packaging: 60ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 2 and 6mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Craftsmen Vape co for review purposes. This review is done on the 2mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label has a red and gold design with the logo standing out and the flavour profile, as well as a full flavour description. Then there is also visible warning signs, etc.

With the finger tasting test I got the sweet taste of the peach and tea. Not oversweet and a spot on balance of the ice.

Before proceeding, please note I tasted little to no peach mixed when the mod is set to under 60W. So this review is based on high wattage usage. Also shake the bottle well before use.

With inhale the first flavour that hits my palate is the peach, more like a candy taste than fruit for me and then the ice makes it's presence. Still a very good balance, but none of the tea.

Upon exhale the tea comes through a little bit more on your palate, then the sweet peach and ice follows. I would just have liked the tea flavour to be a little bit stronger.

I enjoyed this flavour a bit more in the tank and it just misses the semi-ADV mark for me.

Would I buy a bottle again? I doubt it.

Morning everyone!
Review for today.
Roll-in Donut from Steeped Juice.
What will the verdict be?

 

[Chanel_tvc]

Juice Name: Roll-In Donut
Manufactured By: Steeped Juice
Flavour Profile: Deepfried dough, glazed sweet sugar with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Packaging: 60ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 25PG/75VG

This juice was sent to me from Joshua at Steeped Juice for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg. I choose this flavour because I love donuts and I was very curious.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

I would like to start off with how much I actually love this branding. The black labels on the bottles are neatly designed with shiney foil added and the colour matches to the flavour. And to top it off, it comes packaged in a nifty little box (white) and the colours match back to the bottles and flavour. It has it all, name, flavour profile, full flavour description, warning signs etc. Definitely one of the few labels and boxes that I admire, as you can see a lot of thought and effort went into it.

With the finger tasting test I got the sweet taste of icing, and just a little bit of the donut and cinnamon.

With inhale the very first flavour that pops onto my palate is the taste of donuts with small hints of the sugar and cinnamon.

Upon exhale my palate is just blown away. The taste of the donuts and on top of that the sweet icing that they put on your average donuts and a little bit of cinnamon just to tickle your taste buds.

Donut flavours are pretty tricky to nail, but I think these flavours knocks it out of the park. Good balance between the flavours, not too sweet and no flavours overpower each other.

So the verdict, absolutely LOVE this flavour. Sweetish and tasty donuts without it going to the hips. I enjoyed this flavour on all my setups.

Would I buy a bottle again? Indeed.

OK WOW a 5.5! Bazinga! Will test this one at VapeCon!

And for me a 5 star in ADV is quite something I hope these flavours will be there

 

[Chanel_tvc]

No review today.
Just a little drop of motivation.
Tomorrow's review is something a bit different than usual.

Keep it cloudy...

 

[Chanel_tvc]

Morning everyone.
Due to some unforseen things this review will be dropping today.
Apache Leaf from Rebel Revolution Vape (@BaD Mountain)
MTL vs DL.

 

[Silver]

Ooh @Chanelr - this is very interesting!

A tobacco from @BaD Mountain
Mmmm....
Looking forward to hearing more

 

[Chanel_tvc]

So for today's review, I am doing it a bit different. Same flavour profile, but MTL vs DL.



Juice Name: Apache Leaf
Manufactured By: Rebel Revolution Vape
Flavour Profile: Vanilla Pipe Tobacco
Packaging: 30, 60 and 120ml Easy Dripper (DL) | 30ml Easy Dripper (MTL)
Nicotine Strength Options: 3 and 6mg (DL) | 12mg (MTL)
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG (DL) | 50PG/50VG (MTL)

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

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The both bottle label design matches. The design itself is black and red, with a nice indian feel to it.

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 taste of the pipe tobacco with a litte bit of the vanilla. Flavours taste well blended.

DL
Upon inhale I first get the taste of the pipe tobacco, it is more on the sweeter side compared to your normal tobacco and the vanilla comes through a little bit.

MTL
With the inhale I found the vanilla to come through a bit more but the pipe tobacco is still there. Rather solid throat hit in my opinion.

DL
With exhaling same flavour as on inhale, except I found that the vanilla flavour is more present but it is not that overpowering taste of vanilla. There is a good balance between the flavour profiles.

MTL
Flavour does not differ much from the DL exhale experience.

I find that the flavour is released best on the dual RDA and for the MTL I prefer the flavour in the Pal 2.

Tobacco in general is a tough flavour, because many people have different preferences how they want it to taste or how it should taste. Then one goes and adds all these funny flavours to it. For me personally, not too bad.

Would I buy a bottle again? DL no, MTL definitely.

Thanks @Chanelr

I think the MTL version is something I will make a note to try at some point!

Will make a turn past @BaD Mountain 's stand at VapeCon and see if I can give it a whirl.

I would say give it a bash.
As per my previous comments, not a fan of tobacco being mixed with something. But the vanilla is so soft in Apache Leaf, making it a smooth pipe tobacco. I would recommend it.

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.

Apologies for the off topic but I'd like to know how the Renova Zero performed against the Pal II. What did you think?

 

[Chanel_tvc]

Apologies for the off topic but I'd like to know how the Renova Zero performed against the Pal II. What did you think?

Nothing to be sorry about
You know that is a very hard question. For me the Zero and the Pal II are both great. But I would rather say the Pal II and the only reason for that is, if you put a flavour in and you don't like it you can get it out easily. With the Zero if the flavour is bad, you still need to vape it to get it out.

Juice Name: The Custard Cup
Manufactured By: Hyp Eliquid
Flavour Profile: A deliciously fresh baked vanilla custard wrapped up in a layer of sweet pastry all topped off with a hint of cinnamon.
Packaging: 60ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Paul at Hyp Eliquid for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is quite straight forward and black in design with the name standing our clearly in white and gold. We also have visible the ingredients, nicotine level and a warning sign.

With the finger tasting test the taste I get it sweet and creamy taste of the custard, little bit of the pastry and a hint of the cinnamon.

With inhale I get the taste of the creamy sweet custard, mixed with the pastry and no taste of the cinnamon. I would have personally liked this flavour to be a little bit sweeter but the flavour is good.

Upon exhale the flavour is mostly the same except the hint of cinnamon comes into play on your palate and I feel it rounds off the flavour nicely.

The flavour is best for me in the RTA, sadly not an ADV. It's a good flavour with a price to fit any pocket.

Would I buy a bottle again? I'm thinking about it.

Review for today :
Peach Blue Razz from Cloud Nurdz/Cloud Nurdz SA

 

[StompieZA]

Juice Name: Mango to the Max
Manufactured By: Prime Eliquid
Flavour Profile: Sweet, fresh and exotic tropical ripe mango with some ice.
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 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, with a fair amount of ice.

With inhale I get undertones of ripe juicy sweet mango with a proper amount of ice. I don't think the flavours overpower each other and the mango and ice levels are spot on.

Upon exhale the mango flavour dances on your palate followed by the ice. It's not too sweet, it's not too icey. It's just right.

Flavour is amazing on the dual coil RDA. As nice as the mango flavour is, it is just not a full ADV for me. But well done to Max on this outstanding juice, I look forward to many more.

Would I buy a bottle again? It's a yes from me.

Thought id just give my feedback here. Tasted this juice over the past weekend and im not a very big fan...The mango just tastes weird to me. I cannot put my finger on it but not liking the mango used in this mix at all. Almost emptied the tank but managed to push through

Will confirm, almost sure its the one with ice, still have the bottle at home

Juice Name: Peach Blue Razz
Manufactured By: Cloud Nurdz
Flavour Profile: Tasty combination of sweet lusciously juicy peaches combined with the tanginess of tart sour raspberries.
Packaging: 100ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Cloud Nurdz SA for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The juice comes packaged in a nifty little box and if you have a cupboard of juice it makes it so much easier to organize. Both the box and the bottle matches on the design which is blue, pink and orange. With massive warning labels (UK) and all necessary information.

With the finger tasting test I got a sweet taste of peach and the sour taste of raspberries all in one. Little bit of a throat tickle but nothing serious.

With inhale the flavour I love the fact that the sweet juicy peach comes out a little bit more than the sour raspberries. The flavour is balanced well.

Upon exhale the peach is a bit more dampened and gives the sourish raspberry candy taste the chance to emerge a bit more and play on your palate. Perfect balance between sweet and sour.

I prefer this flavour on the single coil RTA.
This flavour is available in Normal, Iced and Nic salts.

Would I buy a bottle again? Even though it passed the semi-ADV, I am not sure.

Happy Friday.
Review for today...
Tangerine Queen from Authentic Alchemist

 

[Chanel_tvc]

Juice Name: Tangerine Queen
Manufactured By: Authentic Alchemist
Flavour Profile: Mother nature's sweetest Tangerine complimented by the most voluptuous litchi and harmonized with a little cheeky lime, that creates a multifarious citrus explosion! So we had to add a little ice to cool it all down.
Packaging: 60ml Dripper Bottle
Nicotine Strength Options: 0, 3 and 6 mg
PG/VG Ratio: 30PG/70VG

This juice was sent to me from Authentic Alchemist for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label has a very elegant design, show the logo, the juice name, full flavour profile and a nice combination of naartjie, litchi, lime and mint leaves. It also has a good warning label and nic strength. Sadly, the PG/VG levels are not indicated.

So for me a tangerine is absolutely one of my favourite fruits. So this review is pretty harder that usual.

With the finger tasting test I get the sweet juicy taste of the tangerine and litchi, with the lime balacing the sweetness and a decent amount of ice.

With inhale I got a delicious amount of tangerine, lightly presenced with the litchi and lime. I was quite surprise at how well these 3 flavours compliment each other, none is overbalanced and the ice level just rounds it off perfectly

Upon exhale the flavours are consistant, no overpowering of the flavours and the amount of ice leaves you feeling refreshed.

This flavour is absolutely super in the tank and on the RDA.

Would I buy a bottle again? I believe so.

[Silver]

Ooh, this will be interesting, thanks @Chanelr

Ma Baker from @BaD Mountain -just that sentence sounds very cool! Lol.

 

[Chanel_tvc]

Juice Name: Ma Baker
Manufactured By: Rebel Revolution Vape
Flavour Profile: Blueberry Banana Bread
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 @BaD Mountain at Revolution Vape for review purposes. This review is done on the 3mg.

My Opinion and Tasting Experience

The label is retro-ish with a mean looking lady. 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 taste of both the banana and the sweetish blueberry, and it actually tastes like freshly baked bread.

Upon inhale I experienced the full taste of this blueberry banana bread. I do get a throat hit, and I would personally have preferred the banana to come through just a tad more. Never the less, this is a very tricky combination of flavours and I think it works well.

With exhaling the flavour is consistent and the balance is good. The flavours also don't overpower each other.

I find that the flavour is released best on the dual RDA. Seriously going to look for a recipe to make this into muffin size bites. If you are at VapeCon 2019, be sure to give this one a go.

Would I buy a bottle again? Indeed.
