Empire from Vape Swag


This company is based here in the UK and appeals to me for two reasons, quality liquid and a Star wars theme. Let's be fair here what's not to like, well at first I have to be honest I didn't like the first liquid I tried. I won some Empire, a liquid from Vape Swag a fair while ago. I entered a competition hosted by Vape Swag when they were group sponsor of a Facebook vaping group and won 10ml of whichever liquid I wanted from the menu. I chose Empire, it arrived really quickly and I was really chuffed to win. This was one of the first competitions for vape stuff I'd entered so was really looking forward to this fancy liquid turning up especially as it was free. So I ripped open the packet and put some in the tank and gave it a vape. I really didn't like it at all, there was nothing wrong with it, it tasted exactly like it's description. It just turned out liquids with vanilla and custard weren't for me. So it got put aside and I forgot about it...... till I fancied a change and thought why not give it another go. People's tastes really do change, it's true. Whilst  I was in Scotland some weeks ago I filled my genny up with well steeped Empire and had a vape and it was truly outstanding. Was this down to the fact it had, had time to steep? Was it my taste had changed? Was it the better setup I was using to vape it with? Or was it all of those possibilities?  Who knows. What I do know is when the opportunity presented itself to get more liquid from Vape Swag I jumped at the chance and got more Empire. I really, really love this flavour, to me it's like vaping a strawberry milkshake with an added hint of custard. It's just as good in a tank as it is an a dripper and I can and have very easily spent all day just vaping this one liquid which is quite unusual for me I do like to swap and change.
Vapeswag liquids are really reasonable, 10ml will cost you £5, 30ml £12 and 100ml £35 plus p&p so not mega money. The liquids are available in 0,6,9,12,18 & 24mg nicotine strengths and are 50/50 PG/VG. Flavours on the menu are :-


  • Order 66 (Vanilla, Banana Cream & Custard)
  • Bantha Milk (Blue Raspberry Slush)
  • Biker Snout (Tobacco Blend)
  • Chewie Cherry (Cherry, Blackcurrant & Menthol)
  • Corellian (Irish Cream, Praline Cream & Cookie)
  • Empire (Vanilla, Custard, Strawberry & Cream)
  • Imperial Mint (Fresh Mint & Menthol)
  • Old Ben (Cookie Cappuccino)
  • Phantom Menthol (Cherry, Perno, Aniseed & Menthol)
  • Sour Jawa (Sour Strawberry & Raspberry)


Vape Swag are starting to appear in some Vape Shops (im sure you'll be seeing it in more and more shops given time) and there is a website in the works, but to order some of these liquids head over to the Facebook page in the links where youll find a list of shops that carry the line, or you could send Mr Hepburn (the boss man) a message and he'll sort it all out for you. There is a liquid to suit most people and if like me you give it a vape and don't like it, don't write it off. Set it aside and give it a go another time. I'm so glad i didn't throw mine out because now, Empire is one of my favourite liquids. Give Vape Swag a try I'm sure you'll love it*.

Vape Crate

To start things off I'm sure it's fair to say, many of you will know exactly what Vape Crate is and what it offers. For those that haven't seen or heard anything about it, here's what you need to know. It's a monthly subscription service that was founded by "enthusiastic vapers" to supply all of us that choose to subscribe with high quality e liquid, without having to source a vendor to supply to the UK and deal with the importing of the liquids ourselves. So what do you get?
 And how much will it cost you? You get a nice little box livened with a Vape Crate stamp, which when opened reveals three bottles of liquid nestled within a bed of shredded card. Which is tucked in with a postcard telling you about the liquids description and flavours. To have this little box of liquid delivered, all you need do is sign up and the first box is completely free. Yes you did read that right free liquid, what's even better is you will get a minimum of 45ml of premium liquid delivered to your door safe and sound for free for your first month. Every subsequent month will cost you £24.99 Which if my maths is correct is the equivalent of £5.50 or so for each 10ml. So from my personal experience it's really not mega money compared to some liquids I've seen. So why did I get one? Why not was my thoughts, why not give it a try the first one is free so even if I cancel after my second box it's only cost me £24.99 for a minimum of 90ml of liquid which equates to £2.77 for each 10ml.  I couldn't even buy cheap juice from most places for that.
As you can hopefully see from the picture which is the box I myself received just by signing up to the trial it's nicely presented. You may also have noticed that like many, many people who also signed up I got two liquids from Ruthless and one from Drakes. So for those who haven't tried these, for me I would recommend you give it a try I really would. The three liquids I got to be fair were pretty good, I loved the Drakes Drakeula and the Ruthless Ez Duz It. The Ruthless Swamp Thank was pretty good but was my least favourite of the three. My favourite of the three was without shadow of doubt the Ruthless Ez Duz It, for me I would buy this when my bottle runs out. Everyone who has been around me when I've vaped this loves the smell and from now on I think I'm going to start Vaping this at home only because once friends have had a whiff they have wanted to try it themselves and have stolen mine to vape. To be fair I don't mind or really blame them it's a stunning liquid that makes your mouth water. If nothing else I would recommend you try it, really it is that good. Anyway I'm going off on a tangent, so back to the point of this post. Is Vape Crate worthy of your money?? Well I asked myself the same question, we all require liquid so we can vape anyway. So you have two options, stick with your favourite liquid supplier and everything's good. The other option is go for it what's the worst that can happen? You might just find you open your crate and find a liquid that you would never have thought of trying or have never heard of that once you've tried it, you find you absolutely love it. If you don't love your Vape Crate you can cancel at any time.

As an added bonus once you have signed up you get the opportunity to use their refer a friend program which will earn you some money. You'll get £10 for everyone who follows your personal link and signs up. So after your free first box, get your friends to use your referral link and every three friends gets you another free box with some credit left over. What's not to like? Give it a go it may surprise you, you may find your all time favourite liquid in your next box.
