CoolBreeze E-Liquid a few more


Hi all here's another three liquids from the last batch of flavours from the good people at Coolbreeze, again these three liquids are from the CoolTeezer range and are 100% VG with no nasty Diacetyl, additives and no Ethyl Alcohol. As with the other flavours they have all been tested on a one ohm single coil setup. As with all the others it all started with a nice new bit of wicking material in my case 100% Organic Cotton,  a clean tank and what I now refer too as my trusty hybrid. So here goes.... my thoughts on the next three flavours*

Caramel Kick

Where to begin..... well at the beginning I guess, take off the lid and take a whiff, it's really quite nice. My first thought was "what's the kick going to be" which I might add isn't easy to decide by smell alone. So it was time to try and work it out by giving it a vape, guess what still not an easy task. The Caramel
flavour is really good, it's smooth and leaves a very pleasant after taste, the kick part.... well sometimes I thought there was a hint of dark chocolate and other times I got a hint of coffee. Either way there was a slightly bitter tang to it, not a nasty bitter but bitter nonetheless. Now I don't profess to have a well educated palate and I'm sure someone else is just as likely to agree as disagree with me on this. Feel free to add your thoughts on what the kick may be down in the comments, I don't bite and everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm just interested on people's take on the matter. Back to the matter at hand, this liquid is another fine example of a quality product from Coolbreeze,  I like it. I like it a lot actually after my initial taste testing, I gave it a vape with a nice coffee and the two went so well together. This is a definite candidate for a relaxing vape with coffee after a meal. This is a really nice liquid to keep in your collection, it's a nice smooth vape and the kick.... well whatever the kick actually is, it works.


Citrus Punch

There really isn't a lot to say about this liquid, you take a whiff from the bottle and it smells pretty good. I filled the tank and had a vape, the citrus flavours work well together, it's a great tasting liquid. I could of sworn I was vaping 7up, weird I know but that's what it reminds me of. Now a word of warning.... as with all citrus flavours this has a potential to ruin your plastic tank.
If your lucky you'll see the plastic craze which may give you enough time to empty the tank, if your not so lucky it'll just crack and you could end up with a lap full of liquid. To sum up, it you like a good citrus vape or you like to keep a nice citrus flavour in your stash to help keep the vapours tongue at bay, or if you just like 7up then get some of this Citrus Punch you'll love it. I've had citrus flavours from some well known big names before, they tend to fall into one of three categories,  great, good or bloody awful. This one I'm pleased to say falls into the great category, what can I say I love 7up. Seriously give it a go I think you'll like it. Just remember to be careful if you have plastic tanks you don't want a lap full of liquid. Or to be on the safe side whilst your on the Coolbreeze site adding this to your basket get one of these too.


Toffee

Well where do I start with this toffee flavour??? For starters does it taste like toffee? It most certainly does, it tastes exactly like toffee..... but this is not a flavour for me if I'm being honest, I'm not saying it's a bad liquid
it just isn't my cup of tea. If you like toffee flavour liquids then I'm fairly confident you'll love this one, take the lid off and take a whiff you get its toffee straight away. Stick a few millilitres in the tank with a nice fresh wick, give it a vape and you'll get the toffee flavour come through really well. I'm glad I was given the opportunity to try some,  it smells like toffee, it tastes like toffee but for me...... It isn't going to be a flavour that gets used very often. In the interest of fairness though I'll give it another few weeks and try it again, my taste may change who knows, or perhaps adding some mint or maybe some cream soda to get a toffee apple type flavour (can you get a cream soda flavour flavour???? I'm sure you do it yourselfers will know.) will do the trick.

OK people, I still have two more flavours to share with you. I'll get to them as soon as possible. I would like to thank the lovely people at Coolbreeze,  they have great liquids I would urge all of you to give them a try at least once. I'm sure once you've tried some though once just won't be enough. Please also remember that they don't just cater for us people who like to pick up a bottle and squeeze a few millilitres into a tank, no they carry so much more than that. Browse the site and you'll see flavour concentrates,  tanks, coils, starter kits and so much more. So what are you waiting for???? Follow the links in this review or find them on google if you don't trust links, but I'm sure you'll find something to put in your basket........ Thanks for reading.


*  What is written above are my personal thoughts and opinions only, everyone's tastes are different and because I have liked or disliked a particular liquid shouldn't and doesn't mean you will too. Please take my opinion as it was intended, not as a reason to purchase or avoid, but rather to help you make your own decision based on your own research, budget and requirements.

THP Romuluz Hybrid from Midlands Vaping


Ok people I've had this Hybrid now for a few weeks and you know what? I've barely used anything else since I got it. I got this from Andy and Kirstie at Midlands Vaping it's called the Romuluz. It's a unique device that's superbly engineered and I've loved using it. Everywhere I've been this last few weeks it's been a conversation starter with both friends and complete strangers alike. Everyone seems to like it, so far it's converted a few people off the analogue cigerettes to Vaping so it's worth its weight in gold.
This device is weighty, not so much it's uncomfortable to use but enough so it gives that quality feel, it's made from 304 low carbon Stainless Steel which has taken a few knocks with no visible signs of damage, so if your like me and prone to dropping stuff occasionally then this is a good choice it seems really quite hardy. Here are the specs


  • 22.56mm in Diameter
  • 146.18mm in length without Drip Tip
  • Pyrex Tank
  • Dual 3.2mm wick holes
  • Adjustable Air Flow
  • 304 Stainless steel
  • Silver Plated Copper Contacts
  • Houses all 18 series batteries
  • Is configurable for both Single and Dual wicks with 3.2mm wick holes
  • Changeable Pyrex tank system for easy flavour changes
  • Adjustable throw on the recessed switch
  • Recessed bottom mounted firing switch
Team Hot wire Philippines are the people responsible for this stunning hybrid mod and they've done a fantastic job. It's well engineered, intelligently designed and vapes like a dream. The firing switch is quite unique in that the switch assembly threads into the bottom of the battery tube then has a separate housing that threads over the top of it.
 The switch has four vent holes providing more than adequate airflow for your chosen battery. This device has an 18350 tube and two extension pieces to allow 18490/500 and 18650. This device has no locking ring, but to be fair I've not yet had this thing auto fire at all even when stuffed into a pocket. It comes with a hybrid adaptor which threads onto the 510 connector on the bottom of the atomiser which then allows you to connect it to the battery tube. This is really quite a good feature as it does enable you to use your other atomisers on the Romuluz battery tubes to create different hybrid devices. The atomiser itself is another fantastic piece of engineering that again is really quite unique, it has a pyrex tank system that enables quick and convenient flavour changes should the need arise.
Separate Pyrex tanks are available for purchase, that have a delrin sealing cap which enables you to carry a spare full tank with you. Moving onto the deck the dual wick holes are more than big enough for Stainless Steel rope, mesh whatever your preferred wicking material is. It also has a little Delrin chock that seals off one of the wick holes and negative screws to enable you to run the device in a single wick configuration. This Delrin chock also functions as a method of further reducing the capacity of the inside of the top cap which means this atomiser hits hard and gives fantastic flavour. The airflow adjustment has two massive cut outs for the dual wick configuration and a single air hole for a single wick. All the threading on this device are buttery smooth and it
just goes together so well, all the extensions thread together pretty much seamlessly. The engraving is really deep and looks like it will easily stand being polished with no issues at all. The unique serial number is engraved in Roman Numerals which I really like.
So how does it vape??? Well I've been using this thing for a while with different liquids, some 50/50 some 70/30  some 80/20 and some 100% VG and it's just handled them all so well, I've got no complaints with this device whatsoever it just works. The only thing I would say is at this price point it would of been nice to have a little bag with spare screws and o rings in and it would of been nice to have a driptip included with it. This is currently for sale at Midlands Vaping for £99.99, now I know to some it's perhaps not that expensive and I know there are devices out there that cost many times this amount. But for me it's a lot of money, don't get me wrong I think it's worth every penny, my advice to you is this, if you want a fantastic hybrid that oozes quality but doesn't require you to remortgage to buy it grab one!!!! But do it quickly I don't know how many they have in stock but trust me you won't be disappointed at all. Don't just take my word for it though there are plenty of other reviews on this device and from the ones I've read and watched there's not been a bad word said. To finish off a huge thankyou to Andy and Kirstie they are absolutely fantastic, they are so helpful and knowledgeable and even though they didn't post this till mid afternoon it was still with me the very next day which is outstanding service. Even if you decide this device isn't for you I'd still recommend checking out Midlands Vaping because they cover pretty much all bases regardless of your budget and they have an extensive range to suit all your vaping needs.

Vape Gear and easyJet


People on different Facebook pages have been asking about vape gear on planes etc a lot just recently, so as I'm due to fly off to sunny Scotland (a fancy hotel in Edinburgh as it goes) I thought I'd take the opportunity to speak to easyJet to find out first hand about their policy's on flying with vape gear.
Well what can I say I've heard as much positive as negative stuff about easyJet over the years so I wasn't expecting to much from my phone call to them if I'm honest. But I'm pleased to report that after the initial period of listening to the generic robot with conversational options, I held the line pressing none of them till I got through to a lovely, helpful lady who was more than happy to help (nice one easyJet).

I explained that I would be flying with them on Monday morning and as a vaper would I have any issues boarding one of their planes with vape gear safely and properly stored in my hand luggage. She went away to check the company policy's (or maybe just asked the person on the desk next door who knows) and when she came back on the phone I was told that I would have no problem carrying my vape gear in my hand luggage, the only stipulation would be no vaping on the plane, which is fair enough I knew that wouldn't be allowed anyway. I then went on to ask about coils (kanthal wire and tools etc.) Again the cheery voice came back saying no problem but it would need to be stowed away in the hold. What a positive result from easyJet. I did in a final attempt, to make sure we were on the same page explain that I wasn't referring to a cig-a-like type device and this bit did surprise me, she said " no I know exactly what you mean a battery, a tube and a thing on top"
I was then asked if I had any further questions, which I didn't really what else could I ask? The conversation then ended with a have a nice day and hope you enjoy flying with easyJet.

Now the proof in the pudding will be when I get to Stansted Airport on Monday morning, it'll go one of two ways I suppose.
Option one :- it'll go exactly as the lovely lady from easyJet said it would and there will be absolutely no issues at all,  in which case happy days. Or it'll be
Option two:- it doesn't. Time will tell.

We shall see...................

18350 SS Stingray with Fogger v4

So today has been a busy day, some stormy weather plenty of rain and I fancied a change. So as I got some new Purple Efest 18350 batteries this week I decided to give them a nice full charge and then reach for my stainless steel Stingray and my Fogger V4. Now I have been using a Stingray for quite a while, but never in 18350 configuration ( it's a 22mm diameter mechanical mod with a magnetic switch arrangement that measures 58.3mm in height when configured to accept my Fogger V4 flush with the top cap.) It has proved to be a somewhat surprising experience. It fits nicely in my hand, allowing it to be fired with my little finger. Now the thing that surprised me was the fact that as I am so used to everything I have being
configured for or only able to be used in 18650 mode I thought that I would just find it awkward or just plain weird but I was wrong, I like it, I like it a lot as it happens, it is now small enough to be almost completely concealed by my hand and it fits in my pocket a lot easier. The battery as I mentioned above is a Purple Efest flat top 10.5 amp 18350 that is a tiny little power house to be fair, it has the guts to supply plenty of power to the dual coil setup I have in my Fogger which is around 1.2 ohms so all is good. I think 18350 configuration is extremely useful especially for anyone not wanting to carry a large setup around with them, the Fogger isn't a small rebuildable atomiser at around 66 mm but all in including the drip tip it sits at 124.4mm which really isn't a lot all, considering the same Fogger and drip tip on my Raijin mod sits at around 163mm in total length. It would be even smaller with a little dripper attached instead. It's certainly a stealthy size if you don't want to draw attention to yourself whilst your out and about. Quite good for the ladies too (before anyone thinks it, I'm not being sexist here, I have seen posts from lady vapers asking for recommendations on a mod that doesn't weigh a lot and isn't too big.) I think I'll be using this configuration a lot more often, even more so since I noticed the other day that this mod fits very nicely in the pen pocket slot on my Snickers work trousers. Who knew that Snickers would have had the forethought to cater for vapers when they designed their range of work wear. OK perhaps they didn't intend to do so, perhaps it's just a little fortuitous that a 22mm mod and atomiser is similar in dimensions to a marker pen. But kudos to Snickers really it just works. Anyway enough now as I'm kind of heading off on a tangent,  so I'll stop there I think. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, comments are welcome and if you like my blog then feel free to hit the follow button.

Copper Penny Mod and Copper Tobh v2


Hi all my postie delivered a nice bit of vape mail for me today, I entered a competition and got picked as a winner!!! Yet again proof Facebook competitions are worth entering so come on people for a tiny bit of your time it can be well worth while. I would like to thank the person who hosted the competition Vape Reviews With Az and the people who supplied the prize Steve & Katie at Angelfiremods. This Copper Penny Mod  is fantastic it's nice solid copper that looks really good hits hard and has a penny for the switch button, it's a 22 mm 18650 tubed mechanical mod with locking ring that has a lovely bottom firing spring filled switch that doesn't fire if you put it down without locking it as the switch is nicely recessed.

The Copper Dripper on top Is the TOBH version 2 which as drippers go is a really really good option for any vaper, nice finned top cap which acts as a a method of
heat dissipation to do... well to dissipate heat using Bernoulli's Priciple,it's a 22 mm dripper with a stainless steel deck and Copper outer sleeve/top cap, the negative posts are an integral part of the deck which means they will not move and have post holes big enough to handle most grades of Kanthal so whether you want a dual or quad coil build your pretty much covered. The outer Copper cap has three 1.5mm air holes on each side of the cap which you will need to line up with your coils which when all fully open let masses of air through to feed those coils, I have this wicked with a dual coil build that measures around 1 - 1.1 ohms (2 coils with 8 wraps of 0.25 Kanthal) and I'm getting some very decent clouds come from it (I am by no means a cloud chaser, however if I decide to in future I'm covered with this dripper). Overall I really like these two items as a pair they look good to
together they work really well together, the only possible down side that springs to mind is really quite minor, but it's the green finger syndrome that comes with handling copper. To some people that isn't an issue because they'll force a patina or will clear coat it which will solve that issue. Otherwise for this to stay looking nice it is going to involve a bit of time and some Cape Cod metal polishing cloth or some Brasso.

Again I would like to thank Vape Reviews With Az for holding the competition please watch his reviews and subscribe he's a really nice bloke and has some great video reviews and also to Steve & Katie from Angelfiremods there website has loads of shiny new mods and atomisers at fantastic prices, I have bought from them in the past, there service is excellent everything comes through well packaged and it really doesn't take long for your order to arrive either so definitely worth having a look at their website, you will,  not be disappointed. Thanks for reading hope you found it useful.

Aaron has a Facebook group for vapers new and old, where you are free to ask questions without being laughed at. The group is quite new but new members are always welcome.  The group is called We Be Vapers UK if we're lucky and Aaron gets tons of new members and YouTube subscribers perhaps he'll think about more giveaways in the future you never know.

Jedi Juice from Aeon E-Liquid




Hi all I have here some premium liquid called Jedi Juice from across the pond, I've had
This for a while now (yes it is a very large bottle) and I have to say this bottle looks great and the company were fantastic it only took six days for my postie to knock on the door with a box. It came very well packaged and arrived safe and sound.

Now for my thoughts*,

This liquid is described as being a Banana and Graham Cracker in flavour, I can best describe this with the help of an instant dessert from the 80's by the name of Bird's Banana Crunch. The Banana flavour comes through really well and tastes as Banana should and the Graham Cracker (biscuit type flavour) works really well with it. This liquid is 50% PG 50% VG and has a nic strength if 18mg. What else can I say really I have used this in my Fogger V4, Aerotank, Mini Protank 3 and a Tobh dripper it just tasted great in all of them really, I absolutely love this liquid and am so glad the bottle is huge. I would without any hesitation purchase more of this when my bottle is close to being empty, I don't want to run out.
This liquid wasn't given to me for the purpose of review at all I have to be honest, I did win this via a Facebook competition (Yes people do win on these competitions, like and share does pay off.). Having said this I still thought it more than worthy of being shared with you all even though I wasn't asked or required too by Aeon E-Liquid

This liquid is $10 plus shipping (and possible customs charges if appropriate) for 15ml which equates to £5.83 at the time of typing this. I don't think that's too bad at all to be fair. They have twelve flavours on their menu and I have to say I'm more than tempted to try some of the others.so for me it's a definite winner I vape this a lot.

*  What is written above are my personal thoughts and opinions only, everyone's tastes are different and because I have liked or disliked a particular liquid shouldn't and doesn't mean you will too. Please take my opinion as it was intended, not as a reason to purchase or avoid, but rather to help you make your own decision based on your own research, budget and requirements.

Cybercig E-Liquid Review



Hi all I was given some juice from www.cybercig.co.uk to review and here are my thoughts and my opinions*.

Cherry

This juice actually isn't too bad at all to fair, nice vapour production and pretty good taste from it too. It kind of reminds me of those jelly cherry sweets the ones that look like cherries. Would I buy this myself? Yes I think I would if I'm honest it wouldn't be my all day vape by any means but as a change it not bad.

Tutti Fruitti

This juice again is actually pretty good, I got a lot of berry type flavours coming through and again not bad vapour production either, this juice definitely brings back memories of those square Tutti Fruitti sweets I use to have as a child. Again not an all day vape but I would certainly keep some of this in rotation for a change. This for me was the best of the three I tested.

Banana Split

I so wanted this one to be good it smells really good when you take a whiff from the bottle but after giving it a vape it was really disappointing if I'm honest, there was a very slight banana taste with a terrible aftertaste and a strange background taste to it. I'm sorry to say I certainly wouldn't want anymore of this which is such a shame as it really did smell nice.

All the juices above came well packaged and really didn't take long to come through the door, they're £4.99 each for 10 ml or 3 for £9.99 with £1.92 postage. The mix ratio is 75% PG 25% VG. These juices are available from www.cybercig.co.uk

 I tested these in the following

Areotank( with stock and rebuilt coil heads), X.I, Mini Protank 3 on a Vision Spinner a basic Ego Battery a SVD and a Stingray

The above liquids are labelled as being " Made In China" if this bothers you then this is NOT the liquid for you.
