Juice Review: Copsa consentrates

I remember when I was a kid my family used to go to Denmark on vacation almost every summer and one of the highlights of the trip for me was the licorice ice cream that I couldn't get in Norway. If you love licorice, you should travel to Denmark, cause I do believe that Danish kids are secretly fed some kind of magic licorice liquid instead of mothers milk, which kind of makes them the experts. So what Copsa is probably doing is stealing this stuff from the factories (which I'm sure exists) and use it to make e-liquids. At least they seem to have specialized in licorice juices.

Black Copsa

Tested on: Steamcrave Aromamizer V2 (Dual Ni80/Kanthal claptons @ 0.4 ohms, 55-65 watts)

Delicious salty licorice. More salty on the inhale, sweeter on the exhale, leaving you with a delicious sweet aftertaste . I vaped the whole 50 ml bottle in just a few days. Very authentic licorice, probably one of the best I've ever tasted. I really don't think there is much more to say about this one. If you're into licorice e-liquids like me, you have to try this one. Awesome juice.

Rustne Søm

Tested on: SQuape X[dream] (Dual Ni80/Kanthal Clapton @ 0.37 ohms, 30-35 watts)

"Rustne søm" means "Rusty nail" and this is Copsa's take on a popular kind of candy both in Denmark and Norway at least (in Norway it's called "Rustne spiker"). It's a hard licorice candy, both sweet and salty I'd say, shaped like nails with licorice dust on the outside to imitate the rust and it is indeed one of my favourites from my childhood. It's been quite a while since I've tasted it so I'm pleased that Copsa have managed to replicate the flavour pretty much spot on. A bit stronger and saltier on the inhale and more of the sweetness on the exhale. Another fantastic juice.



Bat Mouse

Tested on: Wotofo Serpent Mini (Twisted kanthal @ 0.72 ohms, 25 watts)

Imitating licorice and strawberry wine gum. The strawberry candy flavour is, according to my taste buds, the dominant flavour here, but the licorice is definitely there, especially on the exhale. Good all day vape for me. According to the label on the bottle this one should be mixed at only 10% flavouring, which means you get 100ml's of finished juice from the little 10ml bottle. Great value for your money there.

I really loved these juices, especially the pure licorice ones. I mean I liked the Bat Mouse a lot as well (and I'll probably get more as it's a great all day vape and very affordable since it's mixed at 10%), but the pure licorice flavours are just heavenly in my opinion.

Thanks a lot to Dag Einar at dampevarer.no for making this review possible.

Juice Review: Steepd Walter White Xtra & Pink Fizz by UFA Vape

Steepd is a new range of e-liquids from UK manufacturer UFA Vape. From what I've seen there are 4 juices in the range, available in 30ml glass bottles, and I was sent two of them for this review. You can get it in 3 or 6 mg/ml nicotine strength and they all come in 80/20 VG/PG ratio. I can't really find the Steepd range on the UFA web page so I guess this range is just sold through other vendors. I do appreciate that they've put up reports from analysis of their juices on their page though, shows that they're serious about making vaping as safe as possible. I was sent some of their original juices as well, and a review of those will follow as soon as I've tried them out.

Walter White Xtra

Tested on: Goblin Mini V3 (Single clapton @ 0.4 ohms, 35-45 watts)


This juice is described as "Blue raspberry bubblegum and aniseed, with a chill". That sounds like an interesting blend I have to say. I have been experimenting with raspberry menthol blends before, quite unsuccessfully I have to admit. I guess that was a result of my severe lack of experience when it comes to mixing my own e-liquid flavours. But anyway, opening the bottle the smell of raspberry immediately immediately comes forward. Actually I didn't even have to open the bottle to smell it. You can also smell the aniseed in there but it's not super strong. Vaping it, I was pleasantly surprised. Don't really know why, I guess I didn't have any specific expectations for it. But it is really good. In fact... it's great. I opened the bottle just a few days ago and it is almost empty already. Very well balanced and the description is pretty spot on. Really refreshing juice that I for one could vape all day. I guess I already did, that's why the bottle is almost empty. It's worth noting that this is a pretty thick juice (that goes for the Pink Fizz as well) so keep that in mind when you're wicking your atty for it.

Pink Fizz

Tested on: Steamcrave RDTA V2 (Dual Alien Clapton @ 0.2 ohms, 65-75 watts)

Described as "Tangy and juicy old-fashioned fruit flavours". Smells like fruit candy, and I guess that is pretty much what they are aiming for with this juice. The second description on the Electronic Cigarette Co. webpage says: "An old school classic of orange, green, black and purple chewy sweets." So it's not surprising that this is also what it tastes like. It also got a nice sting to it... living up to the "Fizz" part of the name. It's a nice, sweet and fruity vape that definitely hits it's target. Without being able to pinpoint any specific brand of chewy sweets, that is what it tastes like. Even thought it is quite sweet it has enough freshness and fruityness to make it a well balanced easy to vape juice. Also a great juice but if I had to choose between the two juices reviewed here, I'd have to give the Walter White Xtra my vote.

Thanks to the Electronic Cigarette Co for sending me these juices for the purpose of this review.

Juice Review: Rush Rush Yayo by Cheap Thrills Juice Co.

UK based Cheap Thrills Juice Co. was another juice company I had not heard of until I was asked to do this review. Then again, I have been quite busy with other things lately as you might have noticed, with the public consultations going on here in Norway at the moment. Anyway, these guys have only three flavours in their range yet but there were only two when I was asked about this review so my guess is they're just getting started and I wouldn't be surprised if we see more from them soon. Since I've been vaping quite a lot of sweet desert vapes lately I went for the fruity option with Rush Rush Yayo this time.

Rush Rush Yayo

Tested on: Aromamizer Supreme (Dual Fused Clapton @ 0.2 ohms, 70 watts)

I get mostly apple when I smell this juice. Actually my wife brought home a whole plastic bag full of freshly picked apples that a friend of hers had given her just last week and so the smell was quite familiar to be honest. Vaping it I also get apple as the main flavour, but the watermelon and the strawberries also plays quite a part in this juice making it taste kind of tropical. The watermelon is mostly there on the exhale for me. The strawberry I might not have recognized if I hadn't known from the description that it's in there cause it kind of mixes in nicely just altering the apple a bit. So you're left with the feeling that it's a slightly different kind of apple if you see what I mean. It's quite a fresh juice, maybe best suited for summer as it kind of leaves me thinking that there should be a drink tasting like this... topped off with a fresh strawberry and a little cocktail umbrella. My guess is the drink already exists, I just haven't tasted it yet... but I'll look for it next time I'm at a proper beach bar somewhere far far away from this rainy town of mine.

Thanks a lot to ecigarettedirect.co.uk for sending me this juice for review.

Juice Review: Juice Sauz, whole range

Juice Sauz is a quite new UK juice manufacturer established in 2015. They're producing two different ranges; the Juice Sauz range which is all 30/70 PG/VG and the 888 Vapor Cloud range which is 20/80 and probably more aimed at the cloudchasers as the name also implies. Today I'll review three of the four juices in the Juice Sauz range. All the juices are available in 3 and 6 mg/ml nicotine.

Cola Cubed
Tested on: Steamcrave Supreme RDTA (Dual Horizontal Clapton @ 0.35 ohms, 60 watts)
 
This juice is supposed to mimic the cola candy that many of us remember from our childhood. Well actually I have to admit it's not been long since I've had some cola candy... I mean you can't just let the kids eat all that candy all by themselves, that would be bad parenting, right? I can't say I've seen those cubed sweets they are referring to here in Norway though, but this juice pretty much tastes like those little cola bottles you can still buy. Pretty accurate to be honest, and a lovely juice that I for one can vape a lot. If you like cola candy I'd be very surprised if you don't like this one.

Lush

Tested on: C.O.V Defiant tank (0.8 ohm head, 40-45 watts)

According to Juice Sauz this is a strawberry cream topped off with a sprinkle of fresh baked biscuit straight from the oven. Smelling it it sure smells like strawberries and mostly that. Vaping it I get a very creamy strawberry both on the inhale and the exhale. On the exhale I can notice a hint of the biscuit as well. Not very much but just enough to notice there is something there in addition to the cream and berries. Really nice sweet strawberry flavour and loads of cream.  Balancing cream and strawberries in a juice I guess is a matter of personal preference though, I can only assume that the balance is like this is how the guys at Juice Sauz likes it... and I wouldn't say I disagree with them. If anything I could have handled a little more strawberries, but again, people are different and I bet others might want it the other way around. Only one way to find out if this is the right balance for you I guess.


Lemon Meringue Pie
Tested on: Steamcrave Aromamizer V-RDA (0.8 Ohm dual coil, 45-55 watts)

In their web-page Juice Sauz describes this juice like this: "The timeless desert classic. A smooth, zesty lemon custard filling on buttery short-crust pastry, topped with delicately whipped meringue and baked to perfection." Tempted? If so, I think this one is worth trying out. I think they've described their juice pretty well themselves so I won't elaborate much on that, other than say that it delivers all the flavours mentioned in their description in a well balanced and smooth way. Great all day vape as well.

Dohnut Crema
Tested on: C.O.V Defiant tank (0.8 ohm head, 45-55 watts)

I haven't really tried many donut juices before... actually I think this might be the first one that actually aims for it. It both smells and tastes very sweet and feels very creamy. Maybe a bit too creamy for my liking. To be honest I would have liked a bit more donut flavour as I feel the sugar and cream kind of takes a bit over. Then again, this is a matter of personal preference and it's by no means a bad tasting juice. I also notice you get more donut flavor as you crank up the heat a bit, so keep that in mind if you're trying out this juice. Experiment a bit with the watts and see what hits your sweet spot.

Thanks to George from Juice Sauz for sending me these juices for the purpose of this review.

Juice Review: The Druid's Brew, whole range

I remember Druids Brew from Vapepit back in 2013 (I think). A lot of people were talking about the fantastic Bread of Heaven back then and I also got to try it, but I don't think I ever got around to write a review... don't know why really. Anyway, I talked to Paul again not long ago and he offered to send me all three juices in the Druid's Brew range as soon as the new Crow Black was released. So here we go:

Bread of Heaven 
Tested on: Steamcrave Supreme RDTA (Dual Horizontal Clapton @ 0.35 ohms, 60 watts)
 
People struggle a bit to describe this juice, and I'm no exception. To me different flavour notes seems to pop up and disappear out of the blue almost every time I pick it up, while other notes and flavours stay the same. It is a tobacco vape, quite sweet and somewhat spicy without being able to tell you what spices. I some times get the feeling there is honey and malt in there which makes sense, especially for the malt as I seem to recognize some of the notes from Long Bottom Leaf an Shire Malt by Epipemods. Then I some times get citrus on the exhale. This juice has been around for quite a while now (2013 I think) and people seem to either love it or hate it... with the love group being the largest one, or at least loudest. I think it is a fantastic juice that keeps throwing me little surprise parties all the time.

Crow Black

Tested on: Steamcrave Supreme RDTA (Dual Horizontal Clapton @ 0.35 ohms, 60 watts)

The newest addition to the range is described as "A medium-sweet, creamy pudding vape with a dark twist." Like the Bread of Heaven it is kind of a mysterious juice and not that easy to pin down all the different flavours. I guess the base is a pretty sweet creamy vanilla pudding of some kind, but there is also some spices there that creates the whole mystery. You're left wondering what on earth you are vaping. I get hints of caramel as well maybe, but also some times I think I can taste ginger or even cinnamon bread. Quite a mystery this one, and definitely unique, but once you give up on figuring out what you're vaping and just enjoy it, it is indeed a great juice that goes especially well with black coffee. I'm quite sure you'll pick up other flavours than me if you try this one...



Snow Queen
Tested on: C.O.V Defiant tank (0.5 Ohm ceramic coil, 50-60 watts)

A menthol tobacco blend. Tastes quite sweet and in my opinion maybe more mint than menthol. It haven't got that insane cooling sensation that you get from very strong menthol, but more of a mellow, sweet, warm mint. No insane throat hit, but a nice little bite at the back of your throat. It also got some unique flavours to it, might be some hints of citrus or floral flavours, and I also pick up some kind of herbal flavours. I suspect you'll find quite a few of the same ingredients that you find in Bread of Heaven in this as well, and this gives it the unique, kind of undefinable character that made me love the Bread of Heaven. Very well balanced and probably the best menthol/mint tobacco I've ever tasted. An all day vape and definitely a juice you need to try out. Coming from me that's saying quite a lot as I'm not usually a big menthol tobacco fan. This juice though... fabulous and very very smooth. Try it!

Thanks a lot to Druid's Brew for sending me the juices for review, and also worth mentioning is that Druid's Brew offers a special deal for us Norwegians: To make sure we can safely order as much juice as possible below the customs limit, Druid's Brew has created a 70 ml package and a special discount code for us Norwegians. Now that's what I call taking care of your customers!

Juice Review: Zest and Moz by Yogg Lyfe

A couple of weeks ago I reviewed two of the juices from Yogg Life's yogurt based range of e-liquids, the Zabadi and Poz. I was quite happy with them, and have been looking forward to trying out the last two. It was with somewhat fearful joy I opened these bottles and filled my tanks, since they both contain banana, a flavour that in my opinion can easily be done wrong and become quite sickening. If done right, however, it can be fabulous. Let's see.

Moz
Tested on: Steamcrave RDTA (0.3 Ohm Dual horizontal Clapton, 50-60 watts)
 

As Yogg themselves say, the Moz is a bit different than the other three juices in the range, because it's not only yogurt and fruit. It is supposed to be a banana cake in yogurt. Sounds kind of weird to me, but apparently weird works. I can't really say I smell the cake, smells like ripe, sweet banana. Vaping it, however, reveals the cake, and as I said... the cake really works. I'm thinking mostly banana cake, with loads of sweet, ripe bananas and some cinnamon notes when I vape this juice... not so much yogurt. But I guess the yogurt is still there giving it a creamy feeling as well that I can't really explain otherwise. I really liked this one, might be my favourite of the four, and unless you really really hate bananas I'd say it's a must try juice.

Zest
Tested on: Steamcrave V-RDA + Squonker (0.4 Ohm Dual Clapton, 50-60 watts)

In the Zest the banana is accompanied by passion fruit and pineapple aiming for an exotic, tropical flavour. It sure smells exotic and tropical... and tastes like it as well. Pretty spot on and true to the description I'd say. The pineapple is delicious in combination with the bananas and yogurt that kind of makes it a bit more mellow without removing all the sting from it. A really well balanced, creamy and exotic juice that hits its target spot on. My fear of overpowering and sickening bananas in the Yogg range has been proven unfounded after trying these two juices.


Thanks again to UKEcigstore for sending me these juices for review.

Juice Review: Quartet - A Latakia Blend by Black Note

A friend of mine who runs a vapeshop (and webshop) told me yesterday that he was getting some amazing e-liquid. Supposed to be the best tobacco e-juice in the world, he said. Not surprisingly, he was talking about Black Note. He wasn't aware that I had reviewed the Notebook a while ago, but anyway I told him I agreed. Of course I haven't tasted all the tobacco juices in the world but the Black Note range is indeed some of the best ones I have tasted.

So when Black Note contacted me and asked if I wanted to do a review of their new limited edition Quartet I was thrilled. Only problem was that they had my old address so it ended with something like a month or so with painful waiting and checking the mail before it finally arrived. But good things come to those who wait, right?

Quartet - A Latakia Blend

Tested on Hellfire Raptor (0.5 ohm dual coil @ 20-50 watts)

Quartet incorporates the four elements of sun, fire, earth and air to produce a rich, intense smoky-peppery tobacco. The blend embraces the Syrian Latakia process of sun-curing the tobacco, then smoke-curing over controlled fires of Valonia oak, Aleppo pine, Lebanon cedar, Greek juniper and indigenous aromatic herbs. The result is a powerfully distinct symphonic delight for the senses.

This is Black Notes own description of their Quartet. You can even read the full story on how it was developed and made on their web-page, and this isn't your everyday tobacco steep as you can see. The tobacco used to create it has been aged for 8 years (!). I guess this might be one of the reasons that the Quartet limited edition is priced at $39 for 30ml. Pretty expensive juice in other words, so the question is... is it worth it?

The answer, in my opinion is: YES! And I did not accidentally hit caps lock there. The smokiness of the juice is the first thing that hits you when you open the bottle and smell this juice, and it is the key flavour that remains all the time while you vape it. I'm actually having quite a hard time describing all the other flavours in there, cause this juice is pretty complex. It's got some sweetness and you get the feeling there is indeed quite a symphony of different flavours playing in your mouth, herbs, tobacco and different kinds of smoky flavours. As I said, quite hard to describe, so I can only recommend you try it yourself. It is one of the most authentic tobacco juices I have tried so far. Indeed a pretty expensive juice, but it's worth every penny. If you've tried some of the other Black Note juices and liked them, you are definitely going to love this one.

Thanks a lot to Black Note for sending me this juice for review. And please don't hesitate to send me any new creation you come up with... so far they only keep getting better and better. Thanks :)

Juice Review: Zabadi and Poz by Yogg Lyfe

Yogg Lyfe themselves say they set out to "deliver the perfect combination of delicious Yogurt and fine fruits". This has resulted in a range of 4 juices, all blends of Yogurt and different fruits. As far as I know, all their juices are delivered in white 60 ml bottles in nicotine strengths of 0, 3, 6 and 12 mg/ml. Today I'm reviewing two of the juices and I'll review the other two later on

Zabadi
Tested on: C.O.V Defiant (0.5 Ohm ceramic coil, 60 watts)
 
Mango and vanilla is supposed to be the main flavours in this one... in addition to the Yogurt of course. Sounds really tempting. Smelling it I suspected this was quite a sweet juice, and I wasn't really all that wrong. The mango is pretty sweet but well balanced with the vanilla and creamy Yogurt flavours. Even if there is quite a lot of sweetness in the juice it's not sickening and the mango is very authentic if you ask me. It even have that little sting at the end that you get from real mangos. A really well balanced juice, creamy and easy to vape all day, that also gives you loads of vapor being a 60/40 VG/PG juice (they all are).

Poz

Tested on: Steamcrave Supreme RDTA (Dual Clapton @ 0.3 Ohms, 60-70 watts)

Another juice that smells pretty sweet. Raspberry, Hibiscus and Pomegranate this time. Now Hibiscus and Pomegranate are not the most familiar flavours to me, but raspberries I do love and eat quite often. As I said, this juice also smells pretty sweet, and it tastes pretty sweet as well. Again, authentic fruit flavours and great balance. Same creamy yogurt base as the Zabadi. This base makes the Yogg juices pretty unique, I don't have the feeling that this is something I've tasted before, even if I have tasted quite a few fruit juices. Makes me look forward to try out the two remaining flavours in the range.

Thanks to UKEcigstore for sending me these juices for review.

Juice review: Button Junkie (Whole range)

The Button Junkie range consists of 4 juices, all of them with some fruity elements in them. Button Junkie have teamed up with Ecigwizard to manufacture the juices to be able to meet demand I guess. You can read more about this on their web-page. All their juices are 30/70 PG/VG and it looks like it's available in 0, 1.5, 3 and 6 mg/ml nicotine content, at least from Ecigwizard. I kind of like that they've put some extra effort into the artwork and design as well, usually means they've put some extra care into the juices as well.

Gorilla Trigger
Tested on: Smok TFV4 micro (CLP Fused Clapton Dual Core 0.3 Ohm, 50-60 watts)

I'm weird when it comes to pineapple... I think. I like fresh pineapple, and pineapple juice, but I'm not very happy if I get it on pizza. I guess in general I like it cold but I don't see why you need to put pineapple in hot food. So I have to admit I was a bit of a sceptic, as this juice is supposed to be pineapple cake. However, the smell of this one makes me a bit less sceptical. Quite fresh smell. When tasting it I'm a bit surprised, I think I might like pineapple cake even if it's hot. It's quite well balanced and quite sweet without being sickening. It's a juice I'd have no problem recommending, especially to pineapple lovers. Button Junkie calls this juice "gentle", which I think is quite a good word for it actually. It's not overwhelming in any way, but rather quite easy and relaxed ... if that makes sense. Good one for vaping all day actually, despite the quite aggressive name.

Tiger fire

Tested on: UD Zephyrus (0.2 Ohm, 40-50 watts)

This one smells of citrus fruits. It's supposed to be a cheesecake base with cream, oranges, lemons and grapefruit. And you get quite a lot of the citrus fruits when vaping this. I'm not sure I get so much cheesecake and cream but there is something in there kind of smoothening the edges a bit, but still leaves some of the bite of the citrus fruits. Guess that might be the cheesecake and cream then. I really like this one to be honest. Even if I can't really taste the cheesecake that doesn't mean it's not good... cause it is. Definitely an interesting take on citrus fruits that I think you need to try out cause it's not that easy to describe.

Crack Panda
Tested on: UD Bellus (Dual Coil @ around 0.45 Ohm, 30-40 watts)

Smells ... fresh I guess is the right word. A blend of apricots, peaches and other tantalizing tropical fruits according to Button Junkie. And that's what it tastes like as well. It is indeed a quite sweet yet very refreshing blend of fruits. Really like this one, might be my favourite in the range I think. Definitely an all day vape for me.






Vulture Punch 
Tested on: Secret tank that I'm trying out for someone :)

A bubbling brew of thick, creamy custard & sweet, ripe strawberries with a hint of caramelised brown sugar & Madagascan vanilla. This is Button Junkies description of this juice. One of my favourite juices is a strawberry custard and I'm sorry but this one does not quite come up to that level. It's a good juice, but I personally have another strawberry custard that I like better. Then again ... taste is a matter of personal preference, and this one is good enough to make the list of strawberry custards you should try out to find your favourite.

Thanks to ecigwizard.com for sending me these juices for review.

Juice Review: Waxahachie, Nanabozho and Coyote Coconut by Manabush

The Manabush "Original range" are all based on their original product, the Powwow Sauce, which is supposed to be a sweet tobacco blend. Manabush has mixed this with lots of different goodies, like banana, coconut and gingerbread to create a whole range of juices. Coincidentally, the 3 goodies mentioned above are all found in the 3 samples sent to me by vapour.co.uk for this review. 

Waxahachie
Tested on: Smok TFV4 mini (Clapton RTA @ 0.6 Ω, 40 watts)

Gingerbread and chocolate, according to the description. A combination I'm not used to at all. Smelling the juice, I'm not really sure what to think, maybe there is some chocolate there but I can't smell the gingerbread. Vaping it however, I do get the gingerbread as well as the chocolate. However I really don't get that much of a tobacco flavour from this one. Quite a nice, warm flavour, almost like it was made to enjoy during Christmas.


Nanabozho

Tested on: Smok TFV4 mini (Clapton RTA @ 0.6 Ω, 40 watts)

Smells like banana, tastes like banana. Again I don't really get that much tobacco, but rather a sweet biscuit base and loads of ripe banana on top. And the good thing is that this one doesn't get sickening after a while like some banana flavours tend to do (IMO at least). Actually I think I'd have no problems using this as an all day vape, even if it is quite a sweet juice. My favourite of the three.

Coyote coconut
Tested on: Smok TFV4 mini (Clapton RTA @ 0.6 Ω, 40 watts)

Again, no tobacco flavour, but both smells and tastes like very sweet coconut. I'd say it reminds me a lot of one of my favourite Christmas treats, coconut macaroons. I could it tons of these during Christmas when I was a kid. Actually I probably still can, but luckily for my health I don't live with my mother any more so I don't have free access. Another great juice from Manabush.

Now as you can see I didn't get much of a tobacco feeling from any of these three juices, but honestly, that doesn't matter that much. They're all great juices and I wouldn't mind trying out the rest of the range either, based on my experience with these.

Juice Review: Raspberry Crush, BlackJack Twist and Blueberry Burst by Halo

Ecigarettedirect.co.uk have done some redesign of their Halo-brand and the Halo range of UK made e-liquid have gotten new bottles, new logos and quite a few of them have gotten new formulas as well. They've also added quite a few new flavours as well. All the juices are 60/40 PG/VG.

Raspberry Crush

Tested on: Steamcrave RDA (Dual 26/32 Clapton @ 0.32 Ohms, 30-60 watts)
 
This is one of the new flavours of in the range, aiming for a fresh, natural raspberry taste. The smell of this juice is in fact very spot on. I'm not sure I've come across a juice that actually smells this true to the description. It simply smells like fresh raspberries... and I should know as the kids love raspberries so I smell it quite often. There is nothing else in the smell, no added sweetness or cream or anything, just raspberries. Tasting the juice it also tastes like fresh raspberries, and it does have quite a bite to it as well. Kind of the same sensation you get when vaping menthol juices. I think they're pretty true to their description and have managed to create a natural raspberry flavour without the synthetic feeling they were trying to avoid. Good juice.

Black Jack Twist

Tested on: Steamcrave RDA (Dual 26/32 Clapton @ 0.32 Ohms, 30-60 watts)

The smell of this liquid reminds me of a liquorice/aniseed candy from my childhood, not the real Black Jacks though, don't know if I've ever tasted those. They were called "Lille Jan"... I guess some of my Norwegian and maybe Swedish readers might remember them. The flavour is not that far off either. Pretty sweet aniseed/liquorice flavour, and pretty strong as well. Might be a bit too much for me as an all day vape, but still a great juice that I'm sure will bring up some memories. Definitely a juice I'd recommend if you're into aniseed juices, or liquorice. As I said, personally not an all day vape for me, but that doesn't mean I don't like it, it's just one of those juices that has a lot of flavour, and it's a great flavour too, but to much can potentially ruin it for you :)

Blueberry Burst

Tested on: Steamcrave RDA (Dual 26/32 Clapton @ 0.32 Ohms, 30-60 watts)
 
Blueberries are one of my favourite berries, but I still haven't really found a pure blueberry e-juice that actually tastes like pure blueberries. The smell of this one, however, gets my hopes up. It kind of smells like blueberries at least. Also when tasting the juice, it's pretty close to what I'm looking for, but still a tiny bit missing. I mean, it does indeed taste great, but even if this probably is the closest one to the blueberry flavour I'm used to it's still not totally spot on.... and I finally figured out why: What I've been looking for is actually wild bilberries, that I guess most Norwegians would call blueberries (since the Norwegian name for them is "Blåbær"... Blå=Blue and Bær=Berries). Looking at Halo's description it all starts to make sense: "European blueberries and bilberries". I might have to get some Norwegian juice-maker to duplicate this flavour, cause it is indeed a small difference I believe. Anyway, putting away my childhood memories of fresh wild bilberries, I think this is a well made juice, pretty close to bilberries, that doesn't give you that artificial flavour that some blueberry juices tend to give you. Great juice for fruit and berry lovers.

Juice Review: Il bacio by Suprem-e

I'm actually not sure if I've tried Italian made e-liquid before, but I do like Italian food. I mean who doesn't? Suprem-e writes quite a lot about their efforts to make safe products on their website, but they were involved in the case where Cloud9 tested some juices and decided to withdraw the whole Five Pawns range. The juice I'm reviewing here was also withdrawn due to detectable DA and AP. Still the amounts found was in this one was not very high and probably not put in there on purpose. I don't know if Suprem-e has taken steps to fix this, and I can't really find any info on it either (feel free to comment if you know anything). However, as I said, the amounts found in this juice is so low that I'm not worried about it, as the levels are around the limits Dr. Farsalinos have mentioned earlier as probably just contaminants in the flavourings used. As I said, personally I feel vaping this is perfectly safe, but I also feel that test results should be published so every vaper can make an educated choice.

Il Bacio

Tested on: Steamcrave RDTA (OCC head @ 0.3 ohms, 30-40 watts)

I don't speak Italian... at all. So when I first saw the name of this juice I just assumed that "bacio" meant tobacco. Sounds reasonable doesn't it? To be perfectly honest I didn't even check it out before I tasted it... and it tasted didn't taste tobacco... it tastes like Hazelnut. So I had to check out what Il Bacio means, and according to google it means "The kiss". Anyway... after this little surprise, I do think this juice is quite good. It is not a pure Hazelnut e-juice, there is also chocolate in there. Kind of reminds me a bit of a chocolate we got here in Norway with whole hazelnuts in it. It's the same flavours, but different balance. This has much more nuts and the chocolate is more in the background. The nuts are pretty authentic with a little bite to it. I have to be honest, hazelnuts and chocolate is not my favourite flavour combo, but it doesn't at all taste bad and I can easily enjoy this juice for days, and for those of you who just love chocolate with nuts in it... try this one.

Juice Review: Kringle's Curse by Halo

Halo has been around for as long as I can remember. I remember considering at their mini tank system when I was looking for a really easy to fill cig-alike starter kit for a smoker I know that I've still not managed to convince that vaping is the way to go. Pre-filled didn't quite do the job and cartos were way to complicated to fill. Yeah, Mum, I'm talking about you again. Anyway, Halo also make e-liquids, and from what I've seen they get quite good reviews. I have to say, however, that even if Halo's website looks pretty good, clean and professional I do have some issues with it. First of all, they call themselves Halo cigs... not e-cigs or vapes or whatever. In their "Why Halo?"-section they also talk about "American Made Smoke Juice". It's not a huge issue, but I do feel Halo should do a better job making sure new users understand that vaping and smoking is not the same thing. Anyway, that being said, let's move on to the review of the e-liquid that esmokes.se sent me :)

Kringle's Curse

Tested on: Aspire Triton (0.4 ohms, 30-40 watts)

Kringle's Curse is part of Halo's Gourmet range. Pure peppermint, according to the description... and it sure smells like it. Opening the iconic blue bottle you get a pretty strong, fresh peppermint smell. The taste... is also very true to the description. Spot on, I'd say. A cool, pretty sweet peppermint. Great balance when it comes to sweetness, just sweet enough without being sickening, which also makes this a great all day vape. No surprises here but a lot of flavour, good throat hit and decent vapour-production. I can really see why this one has gotten very positive reviews. Great juice that I've got no problems recommending. Halo have also tested their juice for Diacetyl and Acetyl Propionyl, and published the results, which is a big plus in my opinion. Now if they would just stop using the word smoke on their website I'd be really happy with them :)

Juice Review: Mother's Milkshake by Yaeliq

Yaeliq is the only Israeli e-juice maker I know of and they say they're a "family owned business that began as a hobby and the desire to vape quality e-juice, made from the world's finest ingredients". They've got this slogan as well... "Premium liquid from the holy land". Kind of big words don't you think? Let's see if they can live up to them, shall we?

Mother's Milkshake

Tested on: Steamcrave RDTA (Dual coil @ 0.5 ohms, 30-40 watts)

This juice aims to be a strawberry milkshake flavoured juice based on ripe, fresh strawberries and cream. Smelling the bottle it sure smells like strawberries, but I do feel it's got kind of an artificial, candy kind of strawberry smell to it. Not that promising if I'm honest. Vaping it however, does not taste artificial at all in my opinion, I get more of a fresh, natural strawberry taste from it... and cream... loads of cream. Tastes like a really thick strawberry milkshake, so their description is not at all off. It produces a lot of thick, creamy vapor that you almost feel you can chew. You almost get the feeling you'll gain weight just by vaping this stuff. It is pretty sweet so for me it's not an all day vape, it's more of a dessert vape... I mean a vape that I'd actually have for dessert, and dessert is my favourite part of the meal. Really a great juice this one and, judging by this one, I'd say Yaeliq's big words that I mentioned in the beginning are justified.

Juice Review: Unicorn Blood by Fuzion Vapor

Usually when vendors contact me to asking if I want to do juice reviews they ask me what I like, and usually I'm not able to tell them. And usually I don't want to either, cause I'd probably just end up with something less interesting, some juice that I've heard a lot about and so on. So I'll tell them to send me their own favourites, some times adding which flavours I really don't like. For me it's a lot easier naming the flavours I don't like than the ones I do like... cause I like a lot of different stuff. Anyway... when Johan at esmokes.se asked me if I wanted to do some reviews, I told him to send some of their favourites, and the first one I tried out was this Unicorn Blood by Fuzion Vapor.

Unicorn blood

Tested on: Steamcrave RDTA (Dual clapton @ 0.4 ohms, 40-60 watts)

"Tastes exactly like rainbows.” - This is what Fuzion Vapor writes about this juice on their web-page. Well, how the hell does rainbow taste like? Actually the rest of Fuzion Vapors' description won't give you much more of a clue either, but some googling and smelling the bottle tells me this is a fruity candy kind of flavour. Vaping it the flavour seems quite familiar, but I couldn't really put my finger on just exactly which candy it reminds me of. Definitely a fruit candy kind of flavour though, maybe lime skittles is closest as some other reviewer suggested. It's been a while since I've had lime skittles but from what I can remember it's  close to this. It's a pretty sweet juice, so definitely candy, not trying to replicate the fruits itself. And the more I vape it, the better I like it. Cranking up the watts gives you even more flavour. Great juice that I believe I could vape all day long.

Esmokes tells me this juice has no Diacetyl, but it does have some sweeteners and food grade colouring. However, Fuzion also have a redesigned version (Fuzion Prime range) of this juice that don't have this stuff in it, and is also supposed to work better on RDAs.
