*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* Dark Cherry by Joozed

Recommended to me by CCR Vape Bar, ‘Dark Cherry’ by Joozed is forged in the heart of Herefordshire and I was intrigued to see what all of the fuss was about.

I like to think that over the years I’ve acquired somewhat of a more well rounded and discernible palate when it comes to tasting and reviewing e-liquids, so I was interested to see how I’d get on with this flavour.

In fact, my very, very, very first e-liquid back in 2015 was an off-brand, cheap and nasty cherry tunes flavour that was beyond vile, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth both literally and figuratively. So just before trying this instalment from Joozed, I admit I had a bit of trepidation at first, but all feelings of apprehension were allayed as soon as I took that initial puff.

Simplicity is often overlooked when it comes to e-liquid manufacturing but complexity is not always necessary in creating a decent e-liquid.

Notes of sweet, saccharine glacé cherries bubble to the top of the inhale giving a deep and flavourful vape, without being overwhelming. The lighter cherry tones are followed closely by a rich and dark cherry, highly reminiscent of the fruit itself. 

The relationship between these two cherry variants combine to create an unmistakably delectable and well-thought-out overall flavour. It has sweetness, it has tartness and it has a powerful fruity blast - what more could you want?

One of the things I enjoyed most about this flavour was the relative absence of unnecessary additions - no ice, no cream nor any other complicated elements.

You know when a flavour is good when it stands up on its own and is conveyed extremely well, making it an easy choice for any vaper who enjoys fruit-based e-liquids.

Thanks for the recommendation Simon!

*NEW E-LIQUID REVIEW* Inca by Digbys

Massive thanks to Digbys for providing me with this e-liquid to review.

To absolutely no-ones surprise, the latest offering from Digbys is, as you’d expect, on fleek (I’m no longer down with the kids, so I hope I used this phrase correctly!).

A new, complex take on a typical RY4 flavour, Inca is certainly one for the dessert fans out there.

It incorporates a diverse blend of earthy and nutty tobacco, rich caramel and smooth vanilla bean. When it comes to tobacco based flavours, a common miscalculation can sometimes lead to it tasting smokey and even burnt. This in itself isn’t too much of an issue, but in RY4 flavours, I much prefer a delicate and subtle tobacco. So, when I first tried Inca, I was impressed by how there were no smokey undertones - definitely an attribute I could appreciate.

The caramel element to this e-liquid not only balances the tobacco notes, but offers vapers a rich, multi-layered sweetness that comes across as both complex and whole tasting. The subtle notes of vanilla bean encompasses the flavour overall, it provides a smooth base for the tobacco and caramel to flourish.

With a VG:PG ratio of 65:35, this e-liquid is ideal to use in a sub-ohm set up, even more basic kits could handle it too.

This flavour is currently available in 0mg, 50ml shortfills that require nicotine shots to bring it up to your preferred nicotine strength.

Overall, I would say that I was surprised at how good this flavour was, but I already knew Inca was going to be pure gold before I tried it - it’s what I’ve come to expect from Digbys!

*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!

*NEW NIC SALT JUICE REVIEW* GRAPE & CHERRY BY FROSTBITE

Today I popped in to one of my favourite vaping haunts, CCR Vape Bar Hereford, and have decided to try a highly recommended nicotine salt eLiquid - Grape & Cherry by Frostbite.

Due to my ever evolving preferences when it comes to vaping, I have grown rather partial to small, simple pod style devices and fruity/icy 20mg nic salts. So when the folks at CCR suggested that I should try this eLiquid, I was excited to see what all the fuss was about.

I soon chucked a new coil in and filled up a pod - and, well, the Lost Vape Orion isn’t exactly known for its flavour production, but the taste was conveyed well and was surprisingly impressive, intense and mouth watering - despite the rather basic MTL capabilities. The grape is both juicy and well rounded and offers a candy-like smoothness that is then combined with a sharp, slightly sour cherry. But hands down the best feature of this particular eLiquid would be the perfectly calculated amount of iciness.

The candy/fruit notes are swept together with a cool inhale and are brought to life even further by an ear tingling, throat freezing exhale.

If you are usually a fan of fruity, candy and/or ice based flavours, then I’d highly recommend this eliquid. It is available in 10ml, and in 10mg and 20mg nic salts.

*NEW E-LIQUID REVIEW* Digbys ‘Grapple’ A new favourite???

A quintessential aspect of living in the UK is how we like to mention the weather at every opportunity. And so, I will be indulging this stereotype to say that this flavour from Digbys has arrived just in time for the hottest weekend of the year...so far.

An instant favourite of mine, Grapple is a refreshing blend of fresh and crispy Fuji apples, sweet Concorde grape and a revitalising swoop of mixed citrus punch.

The grape is full bodied and has a candy-like texture, I noticed a subtle sweetness to it that is complemented by a bold and energising apple. The citrus notes are in the perfect quantities, enough to enhance the overall flavour, but not so much so that it takes away from the grape and apple elements.

My favourite thing about this flavour was the fusion of invigorating fruits, and just the right amount of sweetness - making it ideal for vaping all day long.

It is obvious that careful consideration was taken when designing such an iconic and well executed flavour. The complex combination of fruity flavours just oozes summertime vibes although I would enjoy this every day of the year!

If you think you’d like this eLiquid, it will be available to order from the
15th June from their website www.digbysjuices.co.uk

*NEW E-LIQUID REVIEW* Digby's Strawberries & Cream

Another massive thank you to Digby's for sending this amazing new flavour for me to review!

Digby's and I go way back – DMC was my first ever vanilla custard flavour, and it still sits comfortably within my top eliquids of all time. So when I was contacted and informed about this latest flavour from them, I knew it was going to be something special.

Strawberries & Cream is a notoriously intricate flavour profile to execute, and many that I have tried previously came across as artificial or overly sweet, therefore masking the overall taste.

But, when I finally chucked some fresh batteries in my mod, and re wicked my RDA, I was ready. This eliquid boasts decadent and rich strawberry notes that is then layered with a sumptuous and all encapsulating creaminess. Out of the thousands (yes, really!) of flavours I have tried over the last 6 years or so, I felt that this flavour in particular had an unmatched smoothness to it, unlike any I have had before. Despite the sweet notes, I didn't find it to be sickly – therefore giving this eliquid a definitive edge as an all day vape. I also found that it was rather forgiving on my coils, another fantastic reason to choose this eliquid.

Digby's Strawberries & Cream comes as a 70% VG, and therefore is an ideal choice for sub-ohm users and/or cloud chasers that also like full on flavours.

As an overall conclusion, I was incredibly impressed by yet another hit from Digby's and would highly recommend it to fans of dessert flavoured vapes.
