*NEW JUICE REVIEWS* Wick Addiction


Special thanks to Tracey from Wick Addiction for supplying me with some juices to review.
All of the following juices, and their respected ranges are available today at https://wickaddiction.co.uk/ , as well as in selected brick and mortar shops up and down the country.

It's Blackcurrant
This eLiquid started off as an extremely refreshing and juicy berry styled vape. The lack of menthol in this liquid was enjoyable , all too often blackcurrant is paired up with a menthol constituent. This one, however, was somewhat more simplified
in terms of the flavour ingredients, and actually worked well, as it was not unnecessarily complex, as found with many liquids on the market at the moment in the vaping world. Sometimes less is best!
You will be really surprised at how pleasant it is to vape this flavour.

It's Apple Crumble
Nothing beats a lovely, warming Apple Crumble for pudding, and this juice's likeness to it's edible counterpart is uncanny.
You get the full on spiced apple right away, and it lingers in a unique and strangely satisfying way.
As you begin to exhale, there becomes a more apparent note of buttery crumble that adds an element of warmth to the sweet apple. The crumble, for me, was very accurate, in regards to how well the creators of this liquid judged the perfect ratios.
Very well executed, more-ish and satisfies your sweet tooth!

It's Tropical
This is pretty much a straightforward one, but is still super palatable. On the inhale, a blast of ripe fruits pushes it's way into your senses, and really grabs your attention. Despite its fruity nature, this juice doesn't come across as sour nor artificial. It is a straight up fruit cocktail, that continues to excite your taste buds throughout the whole vaping experience.
I particularly enjoyed the smoothness found whilst vaping this flavour.

Peanut Brittle
Wow!!! This is hands down the most realistic peanut flavour I have tried in a long time!
Even before I opened the bottle, there was a slightly sweet aroma of peanuts. As soon as I began to vape this liquid, the smell was quashed by an even more flavourful inhale.
The peanut is neither too sweet nor too salty, and is paired wonderfully with a smooth and subtle caramel element.
These two flavours combined and compliment one another, creating a uniquely well designed eLiquid, ideal for dessert lovers.

Strawberry and Lime Sherbet
As a recent fan of sherbet flavours, I have tried a fair few I have not liked, however this is not one of them.
It was a rather delicate take on the usually brash, sharp and sour sherbet liquids.
The strawberry is most noticeable on inhalation, and then morphs in to a refreshing lime flavour.
After exhalation, a sweet and somewhat sugary taste is left on your tongue, an I found this to be rather nice.

*NEW JUICE REVIEWS* Propaganda Premium eLiquid


Propaganda Premium eLiquid
I recently had the pleasure of meeting the crew behind Propaganda eLiquid. They kindly supplied me with eLiquids for the purpose of this review.
All the bottles that I received were all TPD compliant short fills, containing 50ml of eLiquid, leaving 10mls spare in order to add optional nicotine.


Reform
This juice is a warm, sweet and inviting flavour that delivers a smooth, spiced apple, followed by a soft cakey aftertaste.
The apple is slightly less prominent than the cinnamon on the inhale, and this accentuates the fact that the apple is a smooth undertone. Having said that, the cinnamon is at no point overpowering nor sickly.
Upon exhaling, there is a definitive and welcomed sweetness that leaves a wonderful taste on your tongue.
I really enjoyed how easy this juice was to vape, as it wasn't too potent nor was it too flavourless.

The Hype Collection

– Cotton Candy
Candy floss flavours are my go to at the moment, and I have found it hard to find a decent one. Propaganda have hit it out of the park with this one though!!!
On the inhale there is a fruity candy flavour hat makes your mouth water in a pleasant and unique way. When exhaling, a subtle sweetness really mimics the soft sugariness found with actual cotton candy.
After you breathe out, the sweetness continues in a satisfying aftertaste that is not sickly nor unpleasant.
I think I have found my new ADV!!!

- Strawberry Shortcake
A mild yet tasty blend of ripe, juicy strawberries, and a biscuit base, this flavour is an ideal, smooth and delicious vape.
The strawberry is somewhat jam like, and tastes sweet without being sickly at all. This is then backed up on the exhale, by a buttery and crumbly biscuit.
Together, these two flavour components combine to create a more-ish and well executed overall flavour.
I feel like the strawberry was the more obvious flavour, however I don't think I overpowered the shortcake, but rather complimented it.
This juice would be a great candidate for when you are after a mild and smooth flavour, instead of a strong and potent one.
I enjoyed this flavour immensely.

*NEW HARDWARE REVIEW* Vandy Vape Kensei RTA

Vandy Vape is back with yet another fantastic piece of kit, the Kensei 24 RTA.
The Kensei has ironed out all the minor flaws found with the original Vandy Vape RTAs. For those of you who don't know, the one of the originals - the Kylin was notoriously difficult to wick, causing slight leaking or dry hits. Well, I can safely say after 2 weeks, I have not experienced either of those problems.
The Kensei is robust and well made that features an easy to build on, 24K gold plated, two post deck, it also has bottom airflow, something I found to help accentuate clouds and flavour. As well as adjustable airflow, the Kensei also offers adjustable juice flow. I personally prefer to leave the juice flow halfway opened, to allow just enough eliquid to vape on, but everyone has different opinions!
In the box that the RTA comes in, you get a spare 'bubble glass', increasing the original 2ml up to 4ml, so you can rely on keeping it nice and topped up.
On that note, this RTA is super easy to fill, the top simply twists off, leaving two gaps for you to pop your liquid in.
If anyone knows me, you will know that i am a die hard RDA fan, and, up until now, I have had no reason to want to use an RTA..but then the Kensei came in to my life!!!
This rebuildable tank not only looks good, but it performs excellently as well. I got just enough throat hit to satisfy my nicotine craving, and big clouds. The thing is, i was running a dual coil build at 0.15 ohms and was only firing my mod at 60watts – Low but still very effective!
The only thing that may be a slight problem for you, is the frequency at which you will need to fill the 2ml tank, but Vandy Vape has already foreseen this, as they provide the 4ml extension glass in the box it came in!
I would definitely recommend this piece of kit to vapers who are wanting to move from sub ohm tanks to starting to build there own coils on an RTA, or even for RDA users that don't want to keep dripping every 10 puffs!
