Hi all
I recently got a few of the Bombies juices from @paulph201 at Cloud Flavour. For those who don't know, Paul recently started Cloud Flavour and focuses on bringing in selected international juices. Bombies is his first brand. The initial batch got stuck in the post so Paul ordered another batch via courier. To say he toiled to get them here would be an understatement!
First up is Seven Seas. I got an 18ml bottle for R140. 18mg was not available in this flavour, so I settled for 12mg. The PG/VG ratio is undisclosed but Paul thinks it could be 20/80 PG/VG. It's a very thick juice so I tend to agree.
I have been vaping it in the Nautilus Mini and two Reos for the last 10 days. Here goes...
Bombies - SEVEN SEAS (12mg)
Bottom line - a tasty sour and slightly sweet mixed fruit. Great for mellow mindless vaping on the Nautilus Mini with a "sour twang". I would re-order.
The juice has a yellowy colour and smells fruity.
From the first vape, this juice has a lovely sour and slightly sweet mixed fruit taste. I pick up pineapple and a general citrus taste. There also seems to be some melon in the background on occasion. A bit of sweetness but for me the pleasure is the sourness that goes with it. There is also a slight bit of "coolness" to the vape, which I like. The flavours are of medium strength. Certainly not overpowering. Nice and mellow. It's definitely a mix of several fruity flavours but I can't taste them all individually - a bit like taking a big mouthful of a mixed fruit salad.
It's not an overly sweet taste because of the sourness that balances it out. It is of medium dryness. The vape is not cold but there is a slight coolness to it, which I like. Importantly, I find it tastes natural.
I found the throat hit to be medium and quite reasonable actually. Impressive considering it is a high VG juice and was only 12mg (I usually vape 18mg). A double drag gives a nice gentle rub of the throat
I would be keen to try this in 18mg.
The juice has a very smooth texture which makes sense to me given it is high in VG. It's soft and feels like a quality vape. This is a mellow type of vape that I think has great mindless vaping potential. I only had the one 18ml bottle, so I had to vape it sparingly - but I think this would be great for an ongoing chain vaping session
I am not a big vapour chaser - but this juice produces fantastic vapour. Way above average. My setups are not for producing clouds but I could tell from the impressive vapour produced by the Nautilus Mini. As expected, given the high VG content.
I found the juice had very little aftertaste. I could hardly taste it after a minute or two. No lingering at all. It sort of disappears without a trace.
As far as equipment goes, I found this juice tasted best for me on the Nautilus Mini (with the BVC coil) at 11.5 Watts. The Nautilus Mini brought out the flavour the best with the sourness that I like. It was punchy and "twangy".
I also had the juice loaded in two Reo/RM2 setups. One had a higher power Ekowool Ribbon Kanthal 0.7 ohm setup (20-25 Watts) and the other had a lower power Cotton Microcoil 1.1 ohm setup (12-16 Watts). It was better on the lower powered Reo. But not as good as the Nautilus Mini. I found the Reo didn't bring out that sourness, which I like. It made it a bit duller, slightly muted and slightly sweeter. Throat hit on the RM2 setups was higher though - as expected.
Were there any negatives? Not really. Perhaps the only minor negative is that being a high VG juice, it may reduce the lifespan slightly of the BVC coil in the Nautilus Mini. But I did not vape enough of it to notice and it was working perfectly. The thicker juice also means squonking on the Reo takes a bit longer - but not a problem.
This is clearly a high quality juice. Not the most complex flavour - but natural tasting and it has a lovely sourness to it on the Nautilus Mini.
I think that anyone who likes fruity juices with a bit of sourness should give Seven Seas a try. Cloud chasers will also like this one.

Packaging:
- I think the packaging is simple yet very functional
- Simple plastic bottle with a "child deterrent" cap
- I love the thin nozzle, which makes it easy to be accurate when filling your devices
- The labelling is decent and quite easy to read and see. Perhaps the strength could be made a bit bigger. They say "High VG" without disclosing the actual ratio. In some ways this adds to the mystery and excitement but those who want to know the exact ratio may be unhappy.
Equipment used:
- Nautilus Mini with 1.8 ohm BVC coil - on SVD - mostly at 11.5 Watts
- REO Grand/RM2 with 1.1 ohm single micro-coil and organic cotton wick - 12 to 16 Watts, depending on battery level
- REO Grand/RM2 with 0.7 ohm ribbon Kanthal coil around Ekowool wick - 20 to 25 Watts, depending on battery level
