*NEW E-LIQUID REVIEW* A NEW OLD FAVOURITE, PINK GRENADE HYBRID SALTS BY RIOT SQUAD

Riot Squad needs no introduction, their flavours are consistently solid and are an absolute hit when it comes to the UK vape scene. I have been super lucky to have tried most of their flavours, but for me, one holds the definitive top spot.

'Pink Grenade' is an eclectic combination of refreshing flavours, all designed to brighten up your day. Eye-watering sourness is offered up by the lemonade side of things but is soon mellowed out by a sweet blend of bright red strawberries. The use of opposite profiles is exhibited incredibly well as both constituents bring full-on flavour to the table. I do notice an extremely subtle hint of iciness, but not overwhelmingly so - just enough to give this already impressive flavour a kick. 

If that wasn't already good enough for you, Riot Salts are a unique hybrid between both regular (freebase) and salt nicotine. This proprietary blend offers vapers the throat hit of freebase nicotine and the instant hit of salt nicotine. I really love how the throat hit is strong but still maintains the quick ingestion when vaping.

This line of e-liquids is 50/50 VG/PG and is currently available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg - all TPD compliant.

*NEW ELIQUID REVIEW* Purple Bomb Nic Salts by VGod

Picked up on my travels, ‘Purple Bomb’ is one of the more impressive grape flavours I have had the pleasure of trying. With nicotine salt e-liquids holding the top spot in terms of my most used e-liquid type, I expect somewhat of a consistent and reliable ‘all day vape’ factor. If the flavour is even a tiny little bit off, it gets chucked in the spare e-liquid box - just in case vaping gets outlawed/there is an apocalypse/a robber steals all of my decent juice. 

An uncomplicated but popular flavour profile, ‘Purple Bomb’ is a straight up, candied grape that is rather akin to a soda, bubblegum or sweet variation. You get the subtle candy notes, as well as a deep, rich and juicy purple grape - combining in a simple but wondrous manner. This e-liquid carries very little sweetness, something that, in my opinion, only adds to the appeal of this flavour. At no point does ‘Purple Bomb’ become sickly and therefore cements this e-liquid as an all day vape. On this note, I relished the fact that there was a complete absence of ice in this e-liquid too, thus allowing the well rounded grape notes to pop in all their glory.

Despite being 25mg in strength, this e-liquid is super smooth and delivers a hit of nicotine in the way you’d expect from Nic salts in general.

Completely unrelated to the flavour itself, another thing I have a soft spot for would be the bottle size and shape. As many of you may be aware, here in the UK we have to follow TPD rules, one of which says any e-liquid with nicotine cannot be sold in bottles over the 10ml threshold, so when I was given a 30ml, 25mg e-liquid I grinned a little with excitement, a small but very appreciated touch.

Overall, I was gladly impressed with this flavour, it was simple and conveyed a rich, tasty grape without any ice or extra sweeteners. Definitely check this out if you are a fan of candy flavoured nic salts.

*NEW E-LIQUID REVIEW* Juice Roll-Upz Salt Range

Juice Roll-Upz as a manufacturer, holds a special place in my heart. One of their most popular flavours, Blue Raspberry, was the first flavour of its kind that I tried way back in the day. After becoming engulfed in trying and reviewing the hazy mass of eliquids thrown about over the years, my attention to Juice Roll-Upz  had somewhat waned, but the flavour, and my positive memory of it never did.

I feel that as a reviewer, my palate has become much more refined and only top of the line flavours seem to impress me. So after trying literally thousands (I’m not even exaggerating!) only a few meet my strict standards and therefore make the cut.

Juice Roll-Upz offers me a comfortingly familiar set of flavours, and a subtle but noticeable sense of nostalgia takes over on every puff.

I was lucky enough to have visited the World Vape Show in Dubai recently and came home with a few absolutely STUNNING flavours. They are all 30ml and 25mg/ml salt nicotine.

Grape

A keep it simple approach seems to be the way forward with this particular eliquid, a juicy, sherbet-like grape stands out on its own. No over complication is needed as it is both intense and mouth watering. I loved the intriguing sour sensation on my tongue, and the consistent flavour throughout.

Wild Berry Punch

Juice Roll-Upz signature candy edge is well and truly present in this eliquid. There are elements of ripe, mixed berries that emanate both fresh and expertly crafted vibes. The sweet candy notes, and the bold berries are met with a revitalising and complex fruit punch that can only be described as heavenly. This is a flavour that lasts all day, and you’ll never get sick of it.

Blue Raspberry

Just as I remembered it, Blue Raspberry is powerful, sour yet sweet and has the unmistakable candied taste that is synonymous with Juice Roll-Upz .

That sweetness is present in all of the flavours that I have tried from them, and that they are famous for. The sweetness found in these eliquids is positively perplexing as it doesn’t get overpowering or sickly yet it still retains a good level of mouth watering, sugary deliciousness. The ideal all day vape!

Overall, a massive thank you to Juice Roll-Upz for creating such a stellar line up. It’s not often I find that every flavour stands out, and for that massive kudos to them!

Is vaping changing for me?

With my recent acquirement of the Lost Vape Orion Q and various nic salts, I have found myself increasingly partial to the quick, no-nonsense approach that this type of vaping offers.
I'm not supposed to vape inside where I live, however the discreet nature of MTL pod vaping leaves little to no evidence when used stealthily.
So, in the last few months, have got a whole host of different devices.
Currently, my top 3 would have to be:

Lost Vape Orion Q

Aspire AVP

Artery Pal II
