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.
