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!!!
