NEW JUICE REVIEW! *FIDDLING CASTRO* by VaperStar

After visiting the newest shop in the VaperStar fleet, located in Parkstone, Poole, I was kindly given one of their tastiest and best selling liquids. 
Not only does it taste amazing, but has a hilarious name, ‘Fiddling Castro’

This juice comes in a 50ml short fill and is 60% VG, making it ideal for sub ohm setups as well as certain mouth to lung tanks. 

As a short fill, this liquid comes in 0% nicotine, and it is up to the consumer to add the appropriate amount of nicotine (often available as ‘Nic Shots’)

Not my typical go to flavour, Fiddling Castro is described as a sweet and nutty tobacco. Initially, the suggestion that this eLiquid contained an element of tobacco put me off a little. How wrong I was!!!
Upon inhaling, the most distinctive taste is a mild yet smokey tobacco. As I held the vapour in my lungs and mouth, there was a subtle but still noticeable nutty warmth that enveloped the powerful tobacco notes. 
This is then followed by a sweet (but not sickly) caramel that wraps up all of the other flavours in a straightforward and satisfying way. 
One thing I really enjoyed with this juice was the fact it contained a fair amount of flavour and still wasn’t over the top to the point of it becoming sickly. 
This will be ideal for both tobacco fans and dessert lovers. 

Top stuff!!!

THE SWAG PROJECT ULTRA HEAT RESISTANT COTTON Review

After trying numerous different cottons on my rebuildable atomisers, I finally came across Swag cotton.
I had seen plenty of praise across several social media platforms, and I was excited to see what all the hype was about.
A 100% Organic base, Swag is designed by vapers, for vapers. It claims to have little to no break in time, meaning you can vape it straight away without the typical ‘cottony’ taste.
A great feature is its extremely high tolerance for temperature, allowing you to consistently use it on your atomiser at a high temperature, without worrying about the cotton fibres degrading, or burning. This in itself means that the incidence of dry hits is greatly reduced.
I found it to last incredibly long, at least 3 x longer than Cotton Bacon, and at least 6 x longer than Muji pads.
The flavour is consistently on point, and doesn’t lose much flavour during its lifetime.
I did find that it was a bit tricky at first when it came to the wicking part, as I have been so used to wicking with other vaping cottons. The consistency is quite unique, and does take a short while to grow accustomed to using this. Due to the lifespan of Swag Cotton, rewicking is only needed few and far between, so actually reduces the hassle of frequent cotton changes.
I liked how long this cotton lasts, it stays fresh, white and absorpant for an impressive amount of time.
The price of Swag cotton is average, but will last longer than many other leading brands, so actually works out more economical in the end.
Overall, I found Swag Cotton to be a breath of fresh air, and would greatly recommend it to other advanced vapers.
