Juice Review 25/09/2013
The review I am doing today is 'Sticky Toffee Pudding and Custard'.

My opinion of this juice will be my true and honest opinion as always.

All bottles are beautifully labelled and easily read, and come with tactile warnings and child proof safety caps.
I am using my dripper at 1.6ohm, on my vamo, set at 4.5 volts.
The juices I am reviewing is 36mg 70pg/30vg and this was my chosen nicotine strength.

All Liquids are mixed to order and normally dispatched within 24/48 hours first class registered mail.
Liquids are best left steeping for at least 5 days to get the best results.

On opening the bottle, Oh Wow! The aroma from this is absolutely divine. A lush, creamy sticky toffee and thick vanilla custard just like Grandma used to make.
We travelled all over Scotland when we first got married, and we were on one of our many Scottish trips, and decided to stay overnight at a quaint little village in Uiginish, Just on the outskirts of Dunvegan and Portree. It was quite late when the ferry dropped us off on the Island, and we needed somewhere to lie down for the night.  We passed a little fishing village where the fishermen brought in their catch and handed it straight over to the little restaurant by the bay. Beautiful freshly cooked shrimp, langoustine, mussels, you name it and they cooked it. We came across a beautiful farmhouse/lodge in 'Uiginish'  and the scenery was so beautiful we decided to stay for a few days.  It overlooked Loch Dunvegan. It was a restful location with the opportunity to see plenty of wildlife, go bird watching, walking, boating, cycling the around the Island or just simply relax. We chose to do the latter for the time being, and one evening we decided to eat out, as we were told by the villagers to try 'The Three Chimneys' not far from Dunvegan Castle, and known to be famous all over the world for their first class Cuisine. Dunvegan is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years. I loved historic sites and ancestral homes. It interested me and loved looking at their history, so We decided to have our meal and do some sight seeing of the castle and it's grounds. It was a quaint little restaurant with lots of warming smiles and friendly chit chat. There was a large open log fire burning bright, and a little old man, grey haired and weather beaten,  sitting in the corner of the room playing Scottish songs on his accordion. We had our usual bottle of house red with our steaks, followed by sticky toffee pudding and custard. Well, it had to be one of the most delicious Sticky Toffee puddings I had ever tried. It was ladened with fruit and dates, and poured over the top of the pudding, was lashings of hot toffee sauce. They brought separate jugs with our freshly made vanilla custard and a separate jug of fresh pouring cream. The custard was made with fresh vanilla pods and tasted truly sublime. It was so good I had to order seconds, I enjoyed it so much. I never got to see Dunvegan Castle that evening, as I had packed myself so full with Sticky Toffee Pudding and custard, I could hardly move. The memories came flooding back when Paul sent me his Sticky toffee pudding and custard E-liquid for review. It brought back those magical memories of the good times we had in 'The Isle Of Skye'. Dunvegan Castle is another story for another day.
The aroma of the e-liquid was simply divine, and I couldn't wait to try. It smelled of thick creamy custard, lashing of sticky toffee sauce and was very moreish.

On the inhale, a beautiful creamy vanilla custard. Moreish and seductive, for more of a better way of putting it,  as it seduced my palate with the first inhale. I've reviewed a lot of vanilla custards, and every one of them has been different, but still very lovely in flavour. Everyone thinks vanilla custard is infact vanilla custard but it's not. Not only do we have different kinds of vanilla custard, there are creme brulee, vanilla butternut, vanilla bean, tahitian, madagascan, to name but a few. It's nice to experience the many custards in a vape. I have enjoyed all of them, but some more than others. This was very mellow and very subtle. It was soft and palatable and very enjoyable.

On the exhale, I could taste the sticky toffee pudding. It was sweet and fulfilling. It wasn't sickly in any way. It was a little sweet, but not overly sweet and I really enjoyed this flavour. Both flavours complimented each other perfectly. It was smooth and creamy, which made it very moreish and also very delicate. It had spicy undertones of nutmeg, but with more gentler notes, nothing too pronounced.
Would I buy it again.. Yes I would, definitely. This is a beautiful vape, and I really enjoyed it. It isn't a strong flavour. It's mellow and very light in taste, but with all said, I'm nearly through the 10ml already and have just put in another order for more.
I would recommend this to anyone. If you like your flavours soft and creamy, this one is for you. Try some you won't be disappointed.

Vapour production was excellent for a 70pg/30vg juice and produced clouds of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 36mg.  The flavour was gorgeous and very moreish.  This e-liquid is one I would most definitely vape all day.

'RY4', Created By Paul Bowers, who owns http://www.ecigarettedepot.co.uk/

Juice Review 25/09/2013
The review I am doing today is 'RY4' with extra flavour added.

My opinion of this juice will be my true and honest opinion as always.

All bottles are beautifully labelled and easily read, and come with tactile warnings and child proof safety caps.
I am using my dripper at 1.7ohm, on my Provari, set at 4.1 volts.
The juices I am reviewing is 36mg 70pg/30vg and this was my chosen nicotine strength.

All Liquids are mixed to order and normally dispatched within 24/48 hours first class registered mail.
Liquids are best left steeping for at least 5 days to get the best results.

On opening the bottle, a mellow aroma of an earthy tobacco, drifted gently into the air. This had the complexity only an RY4 tobacco would have. There were hints of vanilla, gentle notes of creamy smooth caramel, and a slight nutty undertone to give the tobacco it's depth. It had the aroma of Virginian tobacco leaves, left sitting out in the sun to dry. mellow, spicy and with a richness to balance the aromas. It was pure heaven and one of my most favourable vapes.
RY4 is one of the most renowned e liquids in the world, and has become the most favoured tobacco vape amongst the vaping community. The e-liquid has become a legend, and I see why as it has been my chosen tobacco vape since I began vaping. The vanilla/caramel combination has proved so popular that most have it as their daily vape. This one smelled sublime and I couldn't wait to try it.

On the inhale, a warm mellow tobacco taste, rich in flavour and very moreish. The undertones of the smooth caramel and the sweetness of the creamy vanilla coated my palate, and filled my whole mouth with plumes of thick tasty vapour.
Ry4 is a magical combination of flavours, which gives your vaping experience an amazing and delightful new experience that words can't describe. You need to try and fall in love with the flavour yourselves to understand why this juice is so popular, and experience the overwhelming satisfaction you get when you begin vaping it. You'll want to repeatedly vape this as it becomes completely addictive.

As you can probably tell by now, I'm an RY4 Buff. I love my tobacco vapes. The subtle sweetness puts this juice in a league of it's own. I would say it was semi sweet, but not overly so, and the creamy texture with all three flavours, blend considerably well and are blended to perfection.

On the exhale, a smooth, mellow tobacco, sliding flawlessly over my palate, caressing my senses, with caramel and vanilla, with a feeling that the flavours are melting on your tongue. Coating my palate and tickling my tastebuds, while letting the vapour flow faultlessly over my lips, leaving an aftertaste that was simply divine.
There was no ashy taste to the juice at all, and the tobacco was smooth and rich, mixing perfectly with the semi sweetness. This was a well balanced liquid with a full flavour only RY4 fans would appreciate.
There isn't much left to say that hasn't already been said. Buy some and try it. Don't hesitate, because you don't know what you're missing. I bet you hooked like I did.

Vapour production was excellent for a 70pg/30vg juice and produced plumes of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 36mg.  The flavour was outstanding  and this e-liquid is one I will most definitely be vaping all day.
I have gone through the whole 10ml bottle in just a couple of days and now I'm patiently waiting for my 100ml bottle to arrive. It's that good.

'Sticky Minty Munki Junk' Created By 'Vape Munki E-Liquids'




'Sticky Minty Munki Junk' Created By 'Vape Munki E-Liquids'

Juice Review 24/09/2013
'Sticky Minty Munki Junk'

This is a written review of 'Sticky Minty Munki Junk' created by Vape Munki E-liquids.

VapeMunki E-Liquids have three categories of juice to choose from on their website, and they are all worth trying as they are all exceedingly good. The categories are,  'The Mystic Monkey Range', 'The Primate Range', and 'The Gourmet Range'. I have tried most of them, and I can strongly recommend you try them. There are a total of thirteen juices to choose from, and Baz has told me that more new flavours are being added to the website soon.
My opinion of this juice will be my true and honest opinion as always.
The juice I am reviewing is 18mg 40pg/60vg, and is one of the Munki's new E-liquids from 'The Mystic Munki Range.

Vape Munki E-Liquids use only the best ingredients which are sourced in the UK.

I am using a dripper at 1.9 ohm on my Zmax.
All bottles are beautifully labelled and easily read, and come with tactile warnings and child proof safety caps.

On opening the bottle, the aroma of sticky, sweet, buttery, caramel toffee, with hints of a cool, chilling peppermint scent, fanned from the bottle and into the air. It was sweet, creamy and deliciously mouth watering. This was one I couldn't wait to try.

On the inhale, a creamy, sticky toffee coated my palate. The buttery smoothness and rich caramel toffee flavours, reminded me of a sweet I used to eat as a child. This juice tasted exactly like 'Mint Toffo's' you used to be able to buy. It was extremely moreish and tasted divine. My whole mouth was filled with the most wonderful taste of my childhood, and it brought memories of my childhood days flooding back to me.
Nestle had stopped making Toffo's. There were no warnings of them closing down, one minute they were there on the shelves, and the next minute they were gone. This upset me considerably, as they were my favourite sweets. If I remember correctly, you could get the selection pack of original flavours, banana, strawberry, chocolate, toffee and my personal Toffo sweetie of choice, Mint. I liked to take them to school with me in my school bag each day. It became a regular habit, and my friends knew I would have a packet of mixed Toffo flavours hidden away in the darkest crevices of my school bag. I guarded my bag with my life, as no one was getting my sweets. Since I liked the mint ones the best. I used to open the packet and take my favourites out so no one could get them. Maybe a bit selfish, I know, but never come between a girl and her favourite sweets I say. I got into the habit of having them everyday, until the day they stopped making them. I was actually amazed when I found out you can still buy them today. I'm no longer in pursuit of Mint Toffo's, but I have the next best thing here in a vape... Yes, it's my 'Sticky Minty Munki Junk' and it's so much more healthier for you too, and tastes so much nicer. Mmmm!!

On the exhale, my mouth was filled with a sensational, cooling peppermint. Creamy, and sweet, and very minty. Coating every tastebud in my mouth with a cool, buttery, sticky caramel. Chilling my palate, and leaving a perfectly blended, well balanced, flavour sensation on my lips. It is sweet but not overly sweet, and it isn't sickly in any way. There is no bitter after taste, and VapeMunki has got the flavour just right. The Munki's have done it again. This is going to be another big hit for VapeMunki and I for one will be ordering another big bottle of this.

The throat hit was soft and gentle for an 18mg juice, there was no harshness at all, and the vapour production was extremely good, for a 40/60, pg/vg blend. Infact there were clouds of vapour. This is most definitely another E-liquid, I would happily vape all day, and will be.

Another brilliant E-liquid from VapeMunki E-Liquids.

Dekang Coffee Flavoured E-Liquid (or is it?)


Dekang Coffee Flavoured E-Liquid (or is it?)

Juice Review 24/09/2013
'Dekang Coffee'

This is a written review of what appears to be 'Dekang Coffee flavoured E-Liquid'
The reason I am saying 'appears to be', is because it doesn't state on the bottle that it is Dekang who manufactured it. It's a plain white plastic bottle with a generic picture of a green field of growing plants. It had NO child safety cap, NO tactile warnings and NO use by date.
There is the usual warning message on the bottle stating :- Please keep out of reach of children, etc.

The juice I am reviewing is 'extra High' mg content, which is 36mg strength, and that was printed on a little round sticker, which was stuck to the side of the bottle. I checked for this on the Dekang website, where it states their highest nicotine content is 24mg, but if one contacts them, and wishes a higher nicotine strength, they will make a higher strength if requested. There is nothing on the bottle to say what PG/VG ratio it was, as this was unspecified.
I was kindly given this juice, as a gift from a friend, for my honest opinion and review. My opinion of this juice, will be my true and honest opinion as always.

I am using a dripper at 0.7 ohm on my Nemesis, with a fresh battery at 4.2 volts..

On opening the bottle, A strong musty, woody aroma wafted up from the bottle. It smelled of black perculated coffee and burning wood, but with something behind it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It almost smelled of burnt embers.
Imagine a bonfire, and the burning embers are glowing red, and all you can smell is the musty aroma of heated wood, burning coal, and ashen carbon, with slight coffee undertones.
Many nuances of a coffee are reflected in the smell. You can tell just by aroma whether or not it's going to be a good coffee. Some good coffee flavours have that carbon taste, but it's quite subtle, and makes the flavour more pronounced. The mere idea of vaping this made me squirm.

I haven't really experienced any bad e-liquids, and I have enjoyed most of the flavours I have tried, especially some of the Dekang RY4 and fruity flavoured vapes, as there are some nice ones being sold. This one was somewhat more of a let down for me, and I had a 100ml bottle sitting in front of me.
I love my coffees, and enjoy shopping for different varieties of coffee bean to bring home and grind myself. It's fun experimenting with different beans to make new flavours. I'm what you would call a coffee connoisseur. I can tell if the coffee is a dark roast, a medium roast or just bitter, with charcoal characteristics, and this certainly smelled of burning charcoal.


On the inhale, a bitter burnt taste of coffee. It was strong and woody, and certainly nothing to be desired. It tasted nothing like my favourite Costas triple shot expresso, and certainly nothing like my Starbucks Latte with cream, sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. This was vile, for a better way of wording it. It was really bad, but I knew that before I tried it, as the smell was enough.

On the exhale, a very unpleasant taste of burnt charcoal again, and to me it tasted nothing like the Dekang coffee flavours I had tasted previously. It was harsh, acrid and extremely bitter. There was a a dry taste sensation, mostly at the back of my tongue, and the flavour left a very bitter aftertaste in my mouth.  It was extremely dry, and generally disagreeable, as it lasted for a while afterwards, mostly with a smoky flavour at the sides of my tongue and in my throat.  It was Flat, dull, and very uninteresting, and no way was I vaping anymore of this. Once was enough. I couldn't get rid of the flavour on my palate, even after taking a drink of water and vaping some extra strong menthol.
The liquid was a Dark Brown/Black in colour, and seemed very watery. It may have been all PG, as there was no indication on the bottle to state otherwise. It was very Pungent and charred, and a flavour I would definitely NOT recommend to anyone.

Dekang is one of the lower priced e-liquids on the market. They do make decent quality e-liquids, at a really good affordable price, but these aren't your gourmet e-liquids, as everyone knows, and certainly can't be confused with the higher priced premium e-liquids on the market. A lot of Dekangs flavours are really flavoursome, and as I always say, taste is subjective & everyone's tastebuds are different. The E-liquid I don't like, you might enjoy, and vice versa. Everyone has their own taste in e-liquids. This one I will say was a one off, as I have tried quite a few of Dekang flavours in the past, and I'll admit, they have all been quite nice. Don't let my review of this Dekang Coffee flavour put you off as you might enjoy it. A lot of vendors still sell the Dekang range of E-liquids, and they are the authentic products from Dekang themselves. Why not give them a try and find out for yourselves but what I ask myself is....... Was this Dekang I had, or something completely different. I'll never know as the juice was poured straight down the toilet, without hesitation. I didn't enjoy it at all, but I would say to all of you, to be very careful when purchasing juice. My friend bought it from a vendor at a car boot sale, and it was sold as dekang, and it wasn't very cheap either. Only buy from a reputable vendor or those you know and trust, and with the knowledge and understanding that everything is sourced from a reputable manufacturer/Supplier. Dekang and Hangsen are both reputable manufacturers, and have come a long way in their industry since I began my vaping journey. They have brought out some great new flavours and the RY4 range is really nice, as is Hangsen's E-liquids. Their bottles are all clearly marked with all the necessary warnings, tactile labels and child proof safety caps etc. Everything is of a high standard where the juice is made, what sterile environment the juice is made in etc. It's down to your preference and what kinds of juice you prefer to vape, because in this instance, the bottle I had was somewhat different from the juice Dekang sells.
