ECIGSSA COMP 9 – What are you tasting? - Show and Tell!

Sponsored by The Vape Guy, Drip Society and Carlos’ DIY Concoctions

Competition Closes: Wed 28 March 2018​

​

We’re back with another amazing competition for our beloved members of ECIGSSA!

We get to see so many pictures of juices, but rarely get to hear what they actually taste like. With that in mind, we hope that this will help us all find something new and delicious to try!

How to Win:​

• Take a creative picture of a juice you’re currently vaping.
• Post it in this thread, and give us a concise description of the juice. Tell us what you are actually tasting.
• Tag one fellow forum member to enter.

Everyone gets two entries!

The A&M team will then choose the ten best entries, based on the creativity of the photo and the description. Those 10 “almost-winners” will then be thrown into the randomiser (well their forum names will anyway), and the first three names will win!

Here are some examples of what we expect guys!

Post 1:



Loving this juice its amazing.


Post 2:



This is Gringo from Wiener Vapes! It's beautifully smooth and nice and fruity. The prickly pear and fig combination is really well balanced with a really nice and cool ice element underlying it.


Conclusion:

Post 1 probably isn't going to win. There's no nice background, it's blurry, and the **** taking the picture couldn't even be bothered to hold the bottle properly! The description also doesn't give us any idea what the juice is about.

Post 2 however looks like a winner! The picture was clearly taken by someone with godly powers! Sharp and focused, with a great background that compliments the juice. The description is to the point, and gives someone a good idea on what to expect if they try it.



Hope that helps guys, remember you get two posts, so let's see what you got for us!

Oh this is just marvellous!
Well done @Stosta !

And a big thank you to @BumbleBee , @Cruzz_33 and @NewOobY for the great prizes. Very kind of you!

Guys,

This is another example of a poor entry! Firstly @Christos has forgotten to upload a picture of his juice. And while creative, his description doesn't give us any idea of what he is tasting!

Where are the entries?!

 

[Spyro]

Epic! Looking forward to entering this.

Juice 1

Havana Nightz by JOOSE-E-LIQZ

Ooh, this is class! It's a creamy mild tobacco that is delicious. Makes me want more the more I vape it. Smooth and delicious.

Red Pill


We met at a very strange time, I felt somehow betrayed; confused and unsure what to do going forward. Oom Rob spoke fondly of you, yet he was the reason behind my initial love affair with XXX. And here he claims he has been vaping you all along. Betrayal ; lies????

Hence I really wanted to hate on you.

I was also confused at the name…Why Red pill? Should it not have been Blue Pill? In order to do the XXX it is a known fact that a blue pill helps a lot more than a Red Pill.


How wrong I was!!!!


I understand the reason behind the lies and betrayal. If it was me I would also have wanted to keep you to myself.

You taste like the morning, when I take my first steps in the morning you are there.

You taste of another blessed day, where I am afforded the opportunity to wake up and do better.

You taste of “normality” , reminding me that I am all good.

You taste of love as I get to share you with the missus, friends and stinky converts.

You taste of happiness, for as far as earthly things go you are right up there with the best of them.

You taste of the end of a long fruitful day, as I lay my head down to sleep


I also taste Menthol, with some fruit mainly litchi in the background, and possibly what makes Red pill so good is the “Jam” that comes in every now and then. Almost like little jam pockets in the juice.


I have vaped 100’s of juices and I tend to get tired of a juice fairly quickly, Red pill just wants you to come back for more

Not very creative I know, but normal!

Awesome entry @Cornelius ! Love the chirp about the blue pill being more relative to XXX than a red one!

FYI, here's a quote from Morpheus in the Matrix that can clear up your confusion...

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."

The standard of RY4 has been raised. A lovely smack of creamy vanilla custard with a hint of tobacco in the distance all rounded with an underlying caramel. Matured with oak this is a winner.

Slash approves

All of man's best friends in one photograph! (only missing my lady hahaha!)

Vaping Birdy Eliquid - Melon Shake.
This flavor was a huge shocker to me, as I absolutely hate melon as a fruit, and every other melon vape I've ever had, and yet, this flavor has become my all time favorite, all day vape.

Initially, I hadn't even wanted to try the flavor, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried it on one of @Shuaib Mayet drippers. Kinda liked it so decided to give it another try.

I'm a major Dessert fan, so I wasn't expecting much from this juice. But i went all out anyways. Chucked dual N80 framed staples in my dead rabbit, high wattage, very warm vape and at that moment I fell in love. The warm vape brings out so much of the shake, with a lighter undertone of sweet, luscious melon, and that appealed unbelievably so to my picky tastebuds.

Two weeks later, I tried it out on my Zeus RTA with a single N80 fused Clapton build, nice cool vape, low wattage, and I got more of the melon out of it rather than the shake, and yet I still enjoyed the flavor with no less vigor than before as the cool fruity melon made for a delectable vape on a warmer day.

I went through 6 consecutive 60MLs of this juice. It was all I vaped at one stage.
And the deal sealer for me was that it ain't a coil and wick killer!!

Amazing flavor guys, give the Vaping Birdy USA E-juice range a try! Extremely flavorful!

I tag @Shuaib Mayet

Fantastic entry @Faheem 'Zyzz' Khan !

Thank you! Had some early morning motivation there hehe!

 

[RichJB]

I'm feeling a bit buff tonight, certainly buff enough to vape a blueberry glazed doughnut without fearing that it compromises my sense of unbridled masculinity. Ah, but which blueberry glazed doughnut? This is the veritable Chuck Norris of blueberry glazed doughnuts, and isn't just another blueberry glazed doughnut. Actually, the creator might disagree with me, seeing as he named it, ahem, Another Blueberry Glazed Doughnut. But then he is SlashaLO, a good ole Okie, and they do things different around those parts. As you can see, I am vaping it on my A rig, the mighty Digiflavor Drop atop the beefy Smoant Charon, albeit at a moderate 39W. My 37-year smoker lungs can't take a great deal more than that.

So much for what I'm vaping but what am I tasting? Well, it's the golden triad of blueberries: FW Blueberry, TFA Blueberry Extra and FA Bilberry. So you know it's going to be a somewhat bright, somewhat sweet and tart blueberry with just enough earthiness and bite from the FA Bilberry to avoid going full candy and drag it into actual fruit. The doughnut base is FA Zeppola and FW Yellow Cake, that's got to be tasty, thick, rich and decadent, with the Yellow Cake adding just enough ominously glowing plutonium to assault your vital organs and taste buds with equal vim and vigour. SlashaLO also adds a dab of FA Joy to give it that greasy fried taste that all doughnuts need.

So the blueberry top note and the doughnut base are as conventional as can be. The magic lies in the pairing of the blueberry and the glaze. SlashaLo accomplishes the latter with an alchemy of FA Meringue and FA Torrone, giving that wafer-thin, cracked, grainy sugary glaze feel. It is balanced finely with the blueberry. On the exhale, you get an initial blast of blueberry which gives way to the sugar glaze. It gives the impression of a single integrated flavour, like the blueberry was infused into the sugar to create a vivid purple glaze. Somehow he attains an overall Bavarian Cream vibe (thick and creamy with a maple note) without actually using Bavarian Cream. The end result is a most satisfying blend of bakery, berry and glaze, with each taking its rightful place in the overall vape experience. A top juice if you have the inclination and the flavours to mix it.

Nice one @RichJB ! Although even as someone with a passion for the dark and macarbe, I find that photo quite disturbing!

I wish I had your taste buds! If I can distinguish between two flavours in a single juice I consider myself lucky!
