The Old Goat’s Honest Vape Reviews – No Fluff, Just Facts!

[Old_Goat]

Hey everyone, I’m the Old Goat, and if there’s one thing I believe in, it’s straight-up, no-BS vape reviews. Whether it’s tanks, RDAs, coils, or anything in between, I test it, push it to its limits, and tell it like it is.

I’ve gathered all my reviews in one place: OldGoatVape.co.za – a hub for honest insights, deep dives, and the kind of content that keeps the vape community informed.

If you enjoy my reviews and want to support the work I do, I’ve set up a Tip Jar on the site. Every little bit helps keep the Old Goat grinding (and caffeinated) so I can keep bringing you real, unbiased content.

Check out my reviews & support the grind: OldGoatVape.co.za

I will also drop links to my work here on ECigsSA.

Let me know what you think! Have I reviewed your favorite setup yet? If not, drop a comment and tell me what you want to see next!

Just dropped a new rant on the blog — this one’s close to the heart.

https://oldgoatvape.co.za/blogs/old...ck-aka-before-tiktok-vaping-ruined-everything


I went full Old Goat mode on this one — a bit of nostalgia, a fair bit of ranting, and a big fat middle hoof to what disposables and TikTok trends have done to the scene.

What makes this post different? Nearly every name I shouted out in it is someone from this very forum. Y’all are the ones still keeping it real, still rebuilding, mixing, sharing knowledge and keeping the culture alive. You’ll probably recognize a few names in there — and if you don’t yet, you should.

Give it a read. Leave a comment if you’ve got bones to pick or stories to share. Or just come help me yell at clouds for a while.

Stay grumpy. Stay cloudy.

Ever wondered why "Blue Razz" tastes more like a colour than a fruit?


Let’s face it—flavour concentrates are a wild ride. From candy-coated fruits that don’t exist in nature to the strange magic that makes something "taste pink"… it’s not just mixing juice—it’s mixing illusions.


I’m no chemist, but I’ve spent enough time in the lab (and by lab, I mean my cluttered vape desk) to start asking questions. Like:

• Why do artificial flavours never quite match the real thing?
• What’s the deal with flavour perception and colour?
• And seriously, who invented Blue Raspberry?

I unpack it all in the latest blog:
The Alchemist’s Corner – Decoding the Delicious Deception of Flavour Concentrates
Grab a coffee, bring your brain, and prepare to see your favourite flavours in a whole new light.

Hey legends,

I’ve been pouring a lot of time (and way too much caffeine) into building Old Goat Vape — from reviews to DIY content, coils, and the occasional angry blog post about why disposables suck.

But keeping the site running isn’t free, and right now, every bit helps. If you've enjoyed the content, the coils, or just want to help a fellow vaper keep the lights on, I'd be eternally grateful for a small tip. There's a tip jar on the site, and every little bit goes toward hosting, gear, and keeping the Goat out of financial ruin.
No pressure, but if you're keen to support some local, independent vape content — this is your moment to be a hero.

Thanks for always showing up and keeping the community strong.

New Blog Post: Popcorn Lung, Facebook Fear, and a Chat With My Mom



We’ve all seen those scary headlines — “Vaping causes popcorn lung!” — usually followed by someone’s aunt chiming in on Facebook to warn the world. I had a long chat with my own mom about it, and I decided it was time to put pen to paper (or hoof to keyboard) and clear the air once and for all.

This one’s for every confused parent, every misled mate, and every vaper who’s tired of fighting fiction with facts.

If you like it, drop a comment, send it to a skeptic, or share it with your own mom. Let’s set the record straight — one myth at a time.

Freedom Means Choice — Even If You Don’t Like That Choice



I fired off another blog post that’s likely to ruffle a few feathers — and that’s exactly the point.

It’s about vaping, sure. But it’s also about something bigger: the right to make your own damn decisions, even if someone else thinks they’re stupid. Whether it's vaping, drinking coffee at midnight, or wearing Crocs in public — it’s your life, your lungs, your choice.

If you're tired of being treated like a child by people who think they know what’s best for you, give it a read.

Drop a comment if you’ve got thoughts, or just want to tell me I’ve lost the plot. I can take it. I’m a goat, not a snowflake.

Big shoutout to @Mediocre_Remedial for not just reading my latest blog, but actually dropping a comment on the website itself. That, right there, helps a lot. Every comment tells the Google overlords, “Hey, this site ain’t dead,” which means I’ve got a better shot at someone actually finding it when they search for real vaping info instead of the usual fear-mongering garbage.


I’m also trying out something new — an AI tool called NotebookLM. Fed it a few rants, and boom, it turns them into audio. Basically a podcast, Old Goat style. Still figuring out what to do with the audio (YouTube? Instagram reels? Smoke signals?), but it’s one more way to keep the herd growing.


If you like the work, leave a comment, share the blog, or hell — toss a tip my way if you can. Keeping this site alive costs more than just caffeine and rage, and I’m doing it all solo with no big sponsor behind me.

Thanks to all the real ones still fighting the good fight.

The Old Goat’s Been Busy — Four Fresh Rants for Your Eyeballs

If you're into straight talk, sarcasm, and a no-bull dive into all things vape (and a bit more), I’ve dropped four new blogs over on the site. Here’s what’s fresh out the pen:

1. “Popcorn Lung, Facebook Fear & a Chat with My Mom”
Myth-busting, family chats, and a deep dive into one of the dumbest vape panics around.


2. “Freedom Means Choice — Even If You Don’t Like That Choice”
Liberty, bans, and why grown-ass adults should be trusted to make their own decisions.


3. “The Old Goat’s Guide: How to Finally Ditch the Vape”
Yup. I wrote a quit guide. Because freedom includes quitting too — and not with scare tactics.


4. “Hammer of God V4 Review: Big, Heavy, and Surprisingly Smooth”
She’s a beast. And I gave her a proper Old Goat rundown — fire button gripes, Slab Daddy coils, and all.

The Goat Has Spoken: Blog Update Time!
Alright you beautiful misfits, I've unleashed not one, not two, but three new blog posts onto the internet like a caffeinated goat on a trampoline. Here's what's fresh out the goat pen:

The Hammer of God V4 Review

Drop a comment on any of them — it really helps bump the site up the Google ranks. And hey, if the spirit moves you, toss a tip my way. Running the site is expensive and I’m doing it all myself (with a little AI magic here and there, shoutout to the robots).


Stay flamin’, stay funky.
