The Coffee House line by Vapouriz

Vapouriz, a UK based vape company, have recently released a fantastic coffee themed line of eLiquids called 'The Coffee House'

They are available online at www.vapouriz.co.uk, amongst many other wonderful eliquids and even a wide range of hardware too. Be sure to check them out, Vapouriz will have flavours to suit just about anyone!!!

They have kindly sent me each flavour for the purpose of review. Let me just say, before I start, Coffee flavours, for me, are a little bit hit or miss. There are some that I have tried and they were downright awful – but! Knowing that Vapouriz put their all in when it comes to creating quality eliquids, I was excited to try The Coffee House line. I first received these eliquids in early winter, and I can say that these juices are perfect for vaping on, during a cold and windy winter day!

All of these eLiquids are 70:30 VG:PG, so they are ideal for sub ohm vaping, and you can expect impressive cloud production.

This line is available in either 3mg or 6mg strengths, and comes in a 3 x 10ml multi pack, the cost of these multi packs is a very reasonable £9.99, and again, is available online over at www.vapouriz.co.uk

Coconut Cappuccino

There is a definitive milkiness to this eliquid, that creates a warming and wholesome feel to it. The coffee element in it is not sharp or bitter, just well rounded. The cappuccino is

expertly blended with a slightly sweet edge of tropical coconut. I found this to be a very unique flavour, as I have never tried anything similar before. Coconut is a very diverse flavour that can be used in all sorts of eliquids, it works well in fruity flavours, as well as more creamy flavours such as this one.

I found that this juice was pleasant and would be great for vapers who want to try something different and new.

Vanilla Latte

Vanilla flavours are among my favourite when it comes to winter time eLiquids, and this unique take definitely warms the bones! There is an obvious nutty touch to the coffee in this flavour, and is

expertly complimented with smooth milk and a touch of delicate vanilla. I find that sometimes (despite liking vanilla eliquids) there can be a slightly off-putting and bitter aftertaste, however with this juice, that was not the case. There was a perfect softness to it and this eliquid was an extraordinarily blended flavour ideal for vapers who appreciate sweet, creamy and coffee flavours. I really enjoyed this one!

Caramel Macchiato

Saving the best for last, the Caramel Macchiato was a clear winner in my opinion. It starts off with a fragrant and powerful coffee taste, not unlike a shot of espresso. It tasted so realistic, that I could imagine I was actually drinking a strong coffee.

As you continue to inhale, the flavour morphs into a more sweet and indulgent caramel that is second to none. There is an absolute mouth watering element to this flavour component, and is not too potent nor overpowering, making it an ideal contender for an All Day Vape.

Right as you begin to exhale, there is a dulcet note of vanilla that really makes this juice pop! All of these different flavours didn't actually complicate things, instead, they just worked fantastically together and created a great overall eLiquid that must not be missed!

TECC Arc Slim Kit

As an employee at a vape shop down here in Dorset, I see hoards of new vapers going for the simple and effective Arc kits from TECC.

Currently we stock the Arc Mini and the Arc 4, both seem to hit the spot when it comes to smoking cessation.

We usually suggest skipping the 'penvape' stage, as we find many customers who decide to go for one, end up coming back days later, looking to upgrade to a more practical and satisfying vape.

Now, after dealing with hundreds of 'Arc' sales, I was very interested in seeing what the deal was with this new addition to the already fantastic Arc line. This setup comes as a kit, so you can expect a charger, tank and battery, all at once – no faffing about when it comes to choosing a suitable tank.

First, let's have a look at the specs:

The tank has a capacity of 1.8ml (Just under the 2ml TPD cut-off)

The battery capacity is a 'middle of the road' 1800mAh

It can handle a resistance between 0.75 – 1.5 ohms

And one of the big (or not so big) features, is it's tiny 3.5cm x 1.5 cm x 12.6cm size!

When it came to the other kits in TECC's Arc line, most had some sort of visual indication of settings/battery percentage etc. With the Arc Mini, It was a small light up screen on the top of the device, and the Arc 4 featured an actual OLED screen. The Arc Slim doesn't have that. Instead, there are a few lights that indicate battery level, and has 3 available power settings Low (L), Medium (M) and High (H).

This is good for newbies who don't want to mess around with confusing wattages and voltages. Simply pick your strength and go. However, this could be a slight drawback for slightly more advanced vapers, due to personal preferences.

One of the greatest things about this device is it's simple and user friendly functionality. It is ideal for new vapers or for vapers who just want a straightforward kit, that they can rely on.

Obviously the actual size of this mod is going to be a good selling point, as it is small as well as discreet, perfect for pockets or handbags when going out and about.

The actual vaping experience is very rewarding, you can expect fantastic flavour and decent cloud production, even from this small and unassuming piece of kit.

When compared to the CS Micro and CS Air tanks, the CS Air Slim features adjustable airflow, and an incredibly easy to fill tank.

This kit comes in a variety of attractive colours and retails at about £35.00, depending on the vendor.

Overall, I was very pleased with this setup. Although I prefer subohming, I can definitely see that this kit would be ideal for new vapers. This was a really well made and well designed device that delivers when it comes to quitting cigarettes.

Switz2 Electronic Cigarette Kit by TECC

The Switz2 kit by TECC is the ideal set up for new vapers, wishing to quit or cut down on smoking traditional cigarettes. One of the many good things about the Switz2, is the tight airflow, creating the same sensation of puffing on a normal cigarette, something many new vapers look for when starting out.

The tank holds 1.8ml of eLiquid and the kit weighs in at around 60g, therefore, it is small enough to fit in a pocket or handbag is perfect for travelling or on nights out, when you don't fancy taking a large and cumbersome set up with you.

It is extremely easy to maintain when it comes to changing the coils, charging , operating and even filling the tank with eliquid.

This kit takes SW atomiser heads, and they simply pop in, no need to unscrew or worry about over tightening. To fill the tank, just unscrew the top counter clockwise, and fill around the edges.

The battery life on this device is rather good,for the average novice vaper, I would expect the 800mAh battery to last at least most of the day. Another positive feature to this device is the fact that you can vape on it whilst it charges, so you never have to be without it!

To switch this battery on, all you have to do is press the fire button 5 times in quick succession, to vape, just press the button and inhale, and to switch off the device, press the button another 5 times.

There are no fiddly settings to adjust, such as variable wattage or voltage controls, just plug and play.

This kit is very reasonable in price (£24.99 GBP) and is straightforward and simple to use, whilst not scrimping on design and performance quality. It's perfect for those who seek simplicity and effectiveness. Even as a more advanced vaper, I could still see myself using this device when out and about.

Overall, a perfect vape for newbies and for those who seek a more discreet vaping experience. Very well made and a decent price.

Thanks to UKVB for this device - For those of you who don't know, UKVB is the place to go for all of your vaping wholesale needs! Visit them at : www.ukvapourbrands.co.uk

Juice Review : Digby's NEW TPD compliant 'Short-fills'

When the TPD first hit the EU, everyone was a little perturbed at the fact that eLiquids would now only be available in 10ml bottles. But, as a community, us vapers learnt subtle ways around this. And that's where Short-fills come in...

For those of you who don't know, a short fill is essentially a bottle of 0mg eLiquid, that leaves space for you to add your own nicotine shot, thus creating a 3mg or 6mg etc.

Now, If you know me, you know that I am a sucker for custard flavoured vapes. Digby's DMC was my first custard flavour (over 2 years ago) and it is still my favourite. I have not found a custard juice that even remotely comes close to DMC. Just for the record, I have reviewed DMC before, however, I decided to review it again and compare it to my last one, to see if there's any change of opinion.

So, when Adrian from Digby's sent me two of their most popular flavours (that have been recently re-released), I was very much looking forward to tasting this beautiful, beautiful line of juices!

The juices that were sent came in 60ml gorilla-style bottles, filled with 50ml of eliquid (to leave space for your nic shot). They are 0mg/ml of nicotine , so I assume there will be an extremely mild throat hit, if at all.

They are available online and at www.digbysjuices.co.uk, and are hand crafted in small batches to ensure great quality and optimum flavour.

Today, I will be testing these eliquids out on:

A Druga RDA, dual coil at 0.17ohms

Asmodus Minikin v2 at 90watts

DMC

0mg/ml 80:20 VG:PG

As I remember, DMC is the same, delicious, almost nutty custard that I first tried over 2 years ago. It is smooth, creamy and well executed. There was absolutely no weird aftertaste, meaning it is an ideal candidate for an all day vape.

There are definitive notes of soft vanilla, but at no point was it sickly nor artificial. I particularly enjoy the wholesome flavour that is carried throughout the whole vaping process, from inhalation all the way to the exhale.

The main flavour component of custard is very, very realistic and tastes just like warm vanilla custard that you would have with a pudding.

As I mentioned previously, this was not at all too sickly nor overpowering. All of the other custard juices that I have tried, were OK - initially... but after a short while, they became literally un-vapeable, due to the artificial flavourings and almost bitter after taste. You do not get this with DMC. It is hands down the best custard I have ever tried, and you can tell that it was made carefully with great precision.

Due to the fact that this particular eliquid is 80/20 VG/PG, one can expect incredible cloud production, without scrimping on flavour whatsoever.

I implore you, whether you are a fan of custard vapes or not, to try this eLiquid and see for yourself how fantastic it is.

Mum's Custard

0mg/ml 60:40 VG:PG

So, from what I can gather, Mum's Custard is very similar to DMC, although it has a lower VG percentage (60:40 VG:PG)

I had never tried Mum's Custard before, but if DMC was anything to go by, I was sure it was gong to taste incredible.

Mum's Custard carries essentially the same elements of flavour as DMC, and I can pick up on an almost milky edge to it, that accentuates the creaminess found in these two flavours.

Due to the lower percentage of VG I think (although it may be purely psychological), that the flavour as a whole is a little more pronounced in this juice.

I think the main aspect of these two flavours being very similar in taste, but also being two different VG/PG ratios, would be that users of non sub ohm set-ups, could use Mum's Custard whilst still enjoying the taste of DMC. Vapour production with this flavour was actually still pretty good, despite it having less VG than DMC.

Overall, I'm very glad I was able to try it out, and again, like with DMC, I would highly recommend it to all vapers, especially those of you who enjoy sweet, dessert like vapes.

I would like to thank Adrian from Digby's for kindly providing me with these eLiquids for the purpose of this review!

NEW Double Drip Coil Sauce!! *Review*

After much anticipation, I recently received 5 of Double Drip's newest eLiquids. I would like to thank Vapouriz for sending them my way for the purpose of this review.

All of the liquids that I received were 80% VG, 3mg/ml of nicotine and come in TPD compliant, 10ml safety capped bottles.

They are available online at:

 www.vapestore.co.uk/e-liquids/double-drip/ 

£4.99 for 10ml

I will be testing these liquids out on:

Cotton Bacon (changing after each flavour)

Druga RDA (running on 0.2 ohms)

Asmodus Minikin (running at 75w)

Sun Drip

Sun Drip is a wonderful mix of ripe citrus and sweet apricot. It is just perfect for a hot summer's day, thanks to it's fruity and sweet elements.

Although each individual flavour is slightly difficult to ascertain, it really works well as an overall collection of tastes.
I can hardly get over how refreshing and more-ish this liquid is. It's juicy, it's a tad tart and extremely fruity. 
I very much enjoyed this flavour, and can definitely see it becoming a good summertime ADV!








Crystal Mist

As a newly converted menthol fan, I could kind of guess from the name that this liquid had something to do with menthol, and sure enough, I was right!
Crystal Mist is a uniquely delectable collection of fruitiness and menthol that will appeal to all vapers. On the inhale is when you can expect a cool sensation of blue raspberry and when exhaling, a touch of sweet cherry. I value the fact that the menthol used in this liquid was not at all overpowering - something that can be appreciated by lots of people as an all day vape.
Crystal Mist is defiantly a palette cleanser and I loved how the menthol was soft and smooth, rather than harsh or icy.
Great stuff!



Lemon Sherbet

If you have ever tried Sherbet Lemon sweets, then you will no doubt recognise that distinct flavour when vaping on this ejuice!
It is absolutely identical to the yellow, lemon flavoured boiled sweets, and this liquid even replicates the almost fizzy sensation the you get with sherbet lemons!
This juice was both sweet and a little sour, I found them to have just the perfect amount of each. Granted, the lemon doesn't taste like real lemons, but is indistinguishable from the artificial lemon flavour found in the sweets.
I did enjoy this eliquid, however, when compared to the two previous ones above, I found it to be a little bit overbearing, meaning, for me, that I couldn't vape it all day. However it was very true to its name and flavour profile, something that I think Double Drip deserves recognition for their flavour accuracy!


Mango Raspberry Ice Cream

Ooooh this eLiquid is very unique and I don't think I have ever tried one like it! You get the ripe, fleshy part of a juicy mango (rather than an artificial tasting mango), mixed with soft notes of raspberry, then (the piece de resistance) a super smooth and wholesome vanilla ice cream that rounds off the different flavours perfectly.
I found when vaping this liquid that it was very creamy and I could sit there and pick out each component involved in creating this eJuice. 
Despite being a rather sweet and rich eLiquid, I could see myself vaping on it for an extended period of time without growing tired of it.


Orange and Mango Chill

Another mango one, I thought to myself, how different can they be? Well, they are polar opposites. The previous one was smooth and creamy, whereas this liquid is very lively, slightly sour and has a cooling undertone that sets this juice apart from any others I have tried today.

The orange is citrusy and sharp, the mango is sweet and all encompassing, the 'chill' to it really gives the flavour as a whole, a satisfying kick.
You can really notice the menthol on inhalation, and it isn't too extreme either, I found that it is more on the mild side of the spectrum. On exhalation is when the fruity elements come out to play. They are juicy, sweet and slightly tart, whilst still retaining all of the ripeness and not letting the menthol overtake them.
This eJuice was very palatable and the menthol was just the right amount for it to be enjoyable.

Vaper Expo May 2017

I'm really looking forward this year's Vaper Expo, held at the NEC in Birmingham. I'm hoping to meet old friends, and to meet new ones. I love the fact that everyone there has a common interest, and you get to see those who have just started their vaping journey, as well as vaping veterans. One thing that I remember from last May, was waking up early on the morning of the expo, and finding a remote spot overlooking the lake to vape, and watch the sun rise. As it got lighter, I could see several plumes of clouds along the edges of the lake, I was not alone! With me, there were a few people who were either:
A) crazy morning people like myself
B) or suffering from acute jet lag

The thing with the NEC is that it's such a big complex, which can be a good thing or it can be a bad thing. It's a bit of a trek to get anywhere, and that's made even harder when you cannot find the right hall straight away. Having said that, nothing feels cramped nor claustrophobic, the halls are huge and spacious, and this is accentuated on the B2B days when it tends to be a little quieter.

In terms of the show itself , you can expect plenty of worldwide companies, offering liquids, hardware, and everything in between. Yes there are some freebies, but you can also expect fantastic offers - particularly on hardware, I picked up an Asmodus Minikin v2 for £55, an Aspire Archon for £30 and a Rig v3 set up for just £110.

Safe to say I am very much looking forward to the show and hopefully it will go smoothly. See you all there!

Salt based eLiquids Reviews

There's a new player in the vape game, and it involves a salt based nicotine. From what I've experienced, this is a new way to absorb nicotine. It gets into your system much faster , giving you the hit that is perhaps similar to a higher standard nicotine level, what I mean by that is you get the nicotine rush without the super strong throat hit of the classic nicotine containing eliquids.

I was very kindly provided the following eLiquids by the lovely Michelle. All of the liquids that I am reviewing today are available online and at 'Life's a Drag' vape shop (342 Ashley Road, Poole, BH14 9DF)

I have chosen my top 3 liquids from what I was sent to review, all contain 5mg/ml nicotine, however, they come across as very smooth throat hits (I tend to go for 3mg/ml and I appreciated the mildness offered by the salt based nicotine)

The main difference between vaping regular nicotine and salt based nicotine is the quicker absorption rate into the bloodstream. It is not quite as fast as combustable tobacco cigarettes, however it is much faster than standard nicotine containing ejuices.

Dr.Salt eLiquids - Wham Star

10ml - 5mg/ml - 50:50 VG:PG - £6.99
This eLiquid is reminiscent of the popular, chewy sweets, Wham Bars. The flavour is very strong yet pleasant, and you get a brilliant, fruity taste that makes your mouth water.
It is tangy and gives you the fizzy sensation of sour sherbet on the exhale.
Despite being a 50:50 VG:PG juice, you get fantastic cloud production, whilst still retaining a delicious and powerful candy flavour. I thoroughly enjoyed this eLiquid, and it gave me the perfect nicotine hit, without the harshness on my throat.

Mr Salt-e - Vanilla Custard
30ml - 5mg/ml - 60% VG
If you know me at all, you probably know that I adore Vanilla Custard vapes,  so I am very excited to try this one from Mr Salt E
This eliquid I received is in a 30ml glass bottle, however I believe it is going to be TPD compliant (meaning it will be available in 10ml bottles)
The flavour is mild and the throat hit is smooth. I like the fact that this eJuice is not too strong in taste, making it ideal for those of you who do not like overpoweringly potent (or sickly) vapes. The vanilla lightens the wholesomeness of the creamy custard, something I really appreciate. Being a higher VG eLiquid, the plumes of vapour on the exhale is as you would expect - impressive!
Overall, a delicious flavour that is complex and delivers the different components in exactly the right amounts!


Mr Salt-e - GrappleBerry
30ml - 5mg/ml - 60% VG
Grappleberry is the ultimate grape, apple and mixed berry flavour. It is a little bit candy like, and it is quite more-ish. You get a blast of ripened grape, rounded off perfectly with an element of apple that is both tart yet sweet at the same time. There is a note of juicy berries right on the exhale that compliments the other flavours beautifully.
This eLiquid is refreshing and will leave your tastebuds begging for more. I can't get over how revitalising this eJuice is ! Definitely my favourite from all of the liquids that I received!

VapeJam April 2017

So I was lucky enough to make it to VapeJam this year, it was held at the Excel in London, and I am ever so glad I had great company to go with.

We set off at 08:30 from BHVape, and clambered into Johnnie's Van, originally we were to go in Lorna's Mini Cooper, but 4 of us, plus bags and various other items - it just wasn't going to happen.
Johnnie rigged up two squashy arm chairs in the back of the van, it was awesome.
We stopped about halfway there and got ourselves a McDonald's breakfast (I had an egg and cheese bagel!)
Banter and copious amounts of swearing from Johnnie ensued, we even had radio thanks to a make shift  aerial made from an old clothes hanger!
Before we knew it, we got to the Excel, Alex and I were most defineatly in our element.
Despite visiting on the Sunday, it wasn't too busy to begin with, and we soon had our passes. We had to walk through a dark hallway that revealed a large , vape filled room.
Ive been to vape shows before, however Jam was a little smaller, and I felt more intimate, and I like it that way.
It was good because it made it easier to visit all the stands, yet still enough space to not feel cramped.
I really enjoyed going with my Vape buddies, and I even saw some friends I had met previously from all over the country. Grimm Green and Ruby Too were there too, but I didn't realise until I left! :-(
I got a fair amount of freebies, and an iridescent blue Minikin v2. Then we came across a Rig stand, and ohmygod, I saw an absolutely beautiful metallic blue and pink Rig V3, that was paired with a Roughneck v3. I had to get it!

Another great thing about VapeJam, was the fact that it is the last big vape event before the TPD legislations come in to effect. Meaning companies were slashing the prices on anything that would be non compliant (such as bottles of ejuice with a capacity of over 10ml or tanks with a capacity over 2ml)
That meant lots of cheap yet decent eLiquid for us to nab before it's gone!

We left at around 4pm and began our trip up to Derby - something that I currently cannot elaborate
 on, all I can say is that we had two, 16 hour vape sessions!!! 

Overall I had a truly fantastic time and can say that it was probably the best weekend of my entire life!!!

Top of the Vapes - April 2017

After previously coming up with a list of my favourite vaping related products, I decided to try and write a (shorter and more concise) list each month. So, let's hope I stick to it!!!

ELIQUID
Big Cheap Bottle Co. - Strawberry

Pink Asmodus Minikin V2, paired with a bright pink
Goon RDA (and matching drip tip

MECHANICAL MOD
Rig V3

REGULATED MOD
Asmodus Minikin V2 (again! but it is truly a great device!!!)

RDAs

Goon 24mm by 528 Custom Vapes (again, I have since bought a couple more, one of which is a clone, but hits wonderfully!)

Wire

Flapton, I have a really nice, reliable build for my regulated mods, using this wire.

Vaper Star *ELIQUID REVIEW*

After a chance meeting, I was provided with a selection of some truly delicious eliquids from a company based in Dorchester, Dorset. You can check out their website at www.vaperstar.co.uk
I have chosen my 4 favourites to do some reviews for, although they were all very palatable and I'm glad I was given the opportunity to try them. All liquids were 80/20 VG/PG and 3mg nicotine.
So, let's get going!

Lemon Cheesecake
Over my time as a reviewer, I have tried quite a few lemon based dessert flavours, ranging from super sour citrus all the way to smooth almost unrecognisable hints of lemon.
This juice was easily one of the best Lemons I have tried. You get a creamy, sweet lemon, to the point that it is very more-ish and true to the cheesecake profile. On exhaling, I got a crumbly, warm sensation from a biscuit-base taste and then it all mixed up with one another to create an ecstatic overall flavour.
Definitely my favourite out of this line, due to it's similarity to the real deal!

French Kiss
French Kiss is a fantastic blend of mild sweet tones, including wholesome vanilla bean, deep and realistic caramel toffee. You may assume that French Kiss could be too sweet and overwhelming, however, the set of chosen flavours is actually not too potent, and I could vape on this flavour all day.
What I particularly liked about this juice, is that all the components were expertly blended to the point that it was a little difficult to discern each separate flavour, but I thought it was a nice touch.
Vapour production was stellar, and you get a very pleasant taste on the exhale.
Great Stuff!

Sinner 

This one is hands down the best cinnamon based eLiquid i have tried in recent times. Described as being a cinnamon danish with hints of sugar cookie, you certainly get the cinnamon straight away. It is a sweet and not at all artificial. Then, as you finish inhaling, you get a mild almost savoury touch of the danish pastry. At the point of exhaling, the sugar cookie flavour jumps out and perfectly rounds up the other elements.
Again, I could vape on this all day and not get sick of it. I really liked the Sugar Cookie touch at the end.

Shags Custard
Shags Custard , in my opinion, fights for the top spot in terms of the liquids I have tried in this line. Also, like with the Lemon Cheesecake, I have tried a lot of custard juices. The fact that this one is more complex and whole tasting, makes it the clear champion of custards. 
In the past, I found certain custards to have funny aftertastes, but Shags' aftertaste is wonderfully unique and very palatable. 
You get the vanilla-like sensation on the inhale, and just before you exhale, when you hold the vapour in your mouth, a plethora of delicious caramel and sweetness mingles in you mouth.
As you exhale, the flavours continue to blend together to create a one of a kind ball of deliciousness that develops into a smooth and creamy aftertaste.
I thoroughly enjoyed Shags Custard, the only thing I would change (but can't - thanks TPD!!!) would be to have bigger bottles, because 10ml is just not enough of this beautiful brew!


Overall, the Vaper Star liquids were a very pleasant surprise indeed. It was difficult to pick out which one was best because of all of their great qualities. Again, I know it is not feasible thanks to new TPD regulations, but the only thing I would change would be to have bigger sized bottles because 10ml of each of these magical elixirs just isn't enough, especially if you want to make it an all day vape!
But, kudos to Vaper Star for their great quality liquids, 5*. Stay posted folks!

Director's Cut by VapeMate UK

The guys over at VapeMate have set me up with some of their absolutely smashing juices from the 'Director's Cut' premium range.
I was sent four of them for the purpose of review and you can get them over at www.vapemate.co.uk. They come in 10ml TPD compliant bottles, and are available in 0mg, 3mg and 6mg nicotine strengths. The whole Director's Cut line are max V
G and this is mirrored in the fact that billows of clouds emanate when vaping.
So, let's have a look at them...

Froot Joose
This eliquid is quite simply a super zesty, fruity and invigorating blend of flavours, including  a smooth apricot, sharp pineapple and a punchy peach. This one literally made my mouth water with its impressively juicy repertoire. I have never tried an apricot flavoured vape before but this was a pleasant surprise and could be a new favourite of mine.

Sour Blue Raspberry
Whenever I hear about a Blue Raspberry vape, I simply have to try it. It's astounding the amount of diversity within the Blue Raspberry flavours, and some were nice, some were okay, and others were down right terrible! However, VapeMate has defineatly brought something special to the table with this one. You get the sourness, without it becoming over the top or sickly but the blue raspberry is sweet and candy like, making it very appealing to sweet tooth's everywhere!
There is a definite element of sharpness upon exhale, which is quite a nice touch.


Cog Two
If Cog One was anything to go by, Cog Two is truly stellar. Contrasting the creaminess from the first installation, the new one is almost tart. You get a fantastic blast of several fruity elements, including ripe watermelon, sweet strawberries and a sharp twist of kiwi. I really enjoyed this juice and would go as far as to say it's even better than Cog One!!!

Beach Party
A revitalising blend of zingy citrus and some of the most fresh and unique tropical fruits in the vaping world. This was my favourite out of the four, based on the delectable and one of a kind flavourings. It was a pleasure to try, and I could definitely use this juice as an all day vape (but unfortunately, thanks to the TPD, we can't have big-all-day-lasting-sized bottles!!!)
VapeMate have absolutely smashed it with this one, so kudos!



It was lovely to try these eLiquids, it gave me a whole new look on fruity juices that, to be honest, had started to become a tad repetitive. They were all similar enough to enjoy each and every one, but different enough that they didn't blend in to monotony.
Big thanks to VapeMate for sending them over, and I look forward to trying out the rest of this fantastic range.  Don't forget to go check them out at vapemate.co.uk and I can't emphasise enough the fantastic selection of flavours and the craftsmanship behind them.

Blackberry Grape Spritz by Pocket Fuel/Vapouriz *JUICE REVIEW*

The folks over at Vapouriz were kind enough to send me a sample of their newest addition to the Pocket Fuel range, a truly delicious blend of the ripest of berries and an added zing of fresh grape.
The juice comes in 10ml, TPD compliant and child-proof bottles. Unfortunately, the TPD is trying it's utmost to quash vaping as an industry, and subsequently, the companies that help so many people quit or cut down on smoking carcinogenic cigarettes. The warnings that are on the bottle are somewhat benign and although they are 'required', eLiquids are (in my opinion) much less harmful than traditional tobacco products like cigars, pipes, cigarettes and even chewing tobacco.

Anyways! Back to this fantastic juice from Pocket Fuel! I decided to use a dripping setup to try out this liquid, for optimum flavour and cloud production.
On opening the bottle, a wave of super fresh fruitiness hit my nostrils, and soon caused my mouth to water.
I then soaked my cotton and coils with this heavenly elixir, and took a long, calculated inhale.
one of the first things i noticed was the fact that this juice is not too sweet - perfect for an all day vape, nor is it too plain. This, in itself, is a huge bonus because you get a satisfying taste without getting sick of it.
After this, I could pick up on a unique and tropical blend of berries that hit you like a flavour train!
On exhaling, there was a definite touch of realistic grape (not that nasty, cheap taste of artificial grape) that lingers on the tongue, in a pleasant way.
 This juice is a massive 80% VG, meaning it is designed for sub-ohm vaping, and has an extremely impressive cloud production.
Once again, Vapouriz has smashed it with their consistently delicious eLiquids. I would definitely recommend it to those of you who enjoy a refreshing, summery vape! I look forward to reviewing more liquids from the awesome Vapouriz team!

CHECK IT OUT HERE >>>> www.vapouriz.co.uk  for £4.99 per 10ml.

Top of the Vapes, November 2016 - January 2017

After a very long and wet start of the year, I have compiled a short list of my favourites from the past 4 months:
- eLiquids
- Mods
- RDAs
- Other

So, onto the categories!

ELIQUIDS
Screw-It by The Lolly Vape Co.

Can't get enough of this stuff!

Digby's Juices - Part I

The folks over at Digby's kindly provided me with their new line of TPD compliant eLiquids, for the purpose of this review. So, first and foremost – Thank you for the oppurtunity!

All the bottles were 10ml, 60%VG 40%PG and 3mg of nicotine.

Now, on to the products. Obviously TPD compliancy limits the aesthetical creativity and other issues surrounding the design and colouring of the product, not to mention the limits on the volume of the bottles, and child safety features (both physical safety caps and essential warnings regarding nicotine content etc). However, Digby's have tastefully adhered to the TPD, whilst retaining a stylish yet unassuming overall design.

The 10ml unicorn bottles (the new maximum size) arrived in small boxes that were simply black and white but with calligraphic writing and the Digby's logo, it also featured a bold and attention-grabbing warning on nicotine being a highly addictive substance.

I really like the way that Digby's have not lost any of their bespoke personality due to the new legislations, and they have made sure that every aspect of compliancy has been abided by, whilst still having a fantastic sense of unique and sophisticated design features.

Digby's is well know for their carefully created eJuices, from the heart of deepest Dorset, and their liquids are being enjoyed across the globe.

Jester

Jester is a refreshing cornucopia of juicy fruits, with a touch of sweetness and rounded off with a mild cooling effect. The flavour is smooth, and the slightest hint of menthol is very mild and not at all overpowering. I found that the fruity notes were more noticeable on the inhale, and then, on the exhale, a cool menthol becomes apparent. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable eLiquid, I really liked the careful blending between the coolness of the menthol and the ripeness of the exotic fruit.

Ayen

On inhaling, you can pick up on a smooth and nutty tobacco, then, an almost bitter dark chocolate when you are just about to exhale.

When vaping on this fantastic elixir, you get an aftertaste of sweet and wholesome caramel. The notes (particularly the caramel) are not just 'mixed' together haphazardly, but can be appreciated in stages. What that means, is that each flavour presents itself separately, and evolves into the next main component. I really liked the caramel/tobacco essences, and although I'm not a huge fan of chocolate flavoured eLiquids, it certainly tasted true to life.

To summarise, I found the different accents of this eLiquid to be quite a unique overall flavour. I would suggest it to vapers who like either sweet flavours and/or tobacco ones.

Definitely a treat!

Rheum

Rheum does not taste 'Like' rhubarb, but rather 'of' rhubarb. What I mean is that I found it tasted almost identical to a real, earthy rhubarb, rather than tasting like an imitation or artificial flavour like a rhubarb and custard sweet.

The vanilla is great because it perfectly accentuates the more prominent flavours, it is rather difficult to notice at first, but is very smooth and leaves a soft touch on the exhale.

Despite being indifferent to rhubarb eLiquids, I felt drawn to Rheum because of its natural and distinctive flavour elements. I can say, hands down, that Rheum is, by far the best rhubarb vape you can get, and certainly the most realistic!

I would suggest this eJuice to those of you who enjoy an 'Off the beaten track' flavour, in fact I think it could appeal to any vaper, due to it's realistic nature.

My favourite in this line!

Stay tuned for more reviews of Digby's Juices SOON!!!
