eCigVapeHut

I have two liquids here, as a result of chatting with Lewis from eCigVapeHut. One is a Blueberry Yoghurt and the other is Pink Starburst. Before I get down to telling you what I think of these to liquids I'd like to tell you a little bit about eCigVapeHut. Everything that is on offer on the site is used by their own staff, how many vape shops have you been in, to have a question answered with "er not sure" or "don't know mate not tried that one"? I know I've been in plenty where I have a greater knowledge of the products on offer than the employees do. Which for me doesn't instill that much confidence. The liquids they sell are UK Lab tested for quality and content, which is great as there are plenty that don't do this. Also they aren't really expensive either, looking through the site the prices are pretty good. They have hardware on offer too, it's not going to be to everyone's taste, however what they have will appeal to most people. From those just starting out to those wanting something a little bit better. Go have a look, I'm sure you'll find something that takes your fancy. Right down to the liquids which I did get free for the purpose of review. I did get these two flavours in non retail bottles but from what I'm told, the ones you guys will get will be fully compliant child safe ones.

Blueberry Yoghurt

This flavour is from their premium range of liquids, which by looking at the site is available in 10ml bottles only at 6,12 and 18mg nicotine strengths, in a 50/50 PG/VG mix. Priced at £4 per bottle with no nasty chemicals or colourings. The question is, does it taste like Blueberry Yoghurt? A little confession from me before I answer that, I absolutely hate yoghurt. I can't and won't eat the stuff, I think it's mainly down to its consistency but none the less a yoghurt has not been consumed in many, many years. I however kept an open mind to give you guys who take the time to read the waffle that's comes from my keyboard a fair opinion. So back to it, does it taste like it's supposed too? I hate to admit it but it really does, I got the whiff of Blueberry Yoghurt from the bottle. I nice freshly wicked dripper certainly gave a great flavour actually. I instantly got a really nice Blueberry flavour (not a Blueberry type sweet flavour an actually Blueberry flavour) on the inhale with a very subtle creamy yoghurt flavour on the exhale. If I'm honest it was the yoghurt part of the flavour I was least looking forward to, however I actually quite liked it. It wasn't over bearing it was quite complimentary to the Blueberry and it just worked. To be fair I wouldn't vape this solidly all day everyday, but I'd certainly vape it regularly without any hesitation. Would I buy this with my own money? Honestly after trying it, yes I think I would. Would I have bought it without trying it first? No, but only because of the word Yoghurt in the title. Which wouldn't of been fair to the liquid because I'd of missed out purely down to my own preconceptions. I also put this into a tank with a mesh wick, this only improved the flavours I got from this liquid. (I would really recommend people use mesh wicks more. With perseverance and practice the end result is worth it.). It's quite versatile really I have had no issues with this liquid in any atomiser I've tried it in, and Ive tried it in a fair few, on regulated and mechanical devices. It's just one of those liquids that's worth having in your juice supply. Vapour production is really good, I got a nice throat hit from my 12mg version I had to test. I've even had others ask what it was after complimenting the smell, so rather than tell them I let them try it. After a few seconds everyone of them correctly told me what the flavour was purely from the taste alone. Which to me means the person who mixed it did a great job.

Pink Starburst

This liquid on the site is referred to Pink Candy, but is described as an opal fruit type flavour for those that remember when Starburst were called Opal Fruits. This much like the liquid above is a /50 PG/VG mix available in 6,12 and 18mg nicotine strengths. It is also available in 10ml bottles at a cost of £4 each. I'm quite a fan of Starburst to be fair and who doesn't like the pink ones? So to know this liquid was supposed to replicate that flavour, to me was great. The question as always though is, did it manage it? Yes and no, is my honest answer. It was better in some atomisers than others truth be told, I quite liked it actually. Which ever atomiser I tried I got that it was supposed to be pink starburst it just was better in some configurations than others. As I'm sure most of you reading this have come to realise, the flavour and vapour production are quite dependant on the atomiser and how it's built. For me, in a tank it was quite good and I really quite liked vaping away on this liquid. However on a dripper with a mesh wick it was far better. So knowing it's at its best in that configuration,  that's how I've vaped it since and as I say it's really quite a nice vape. My brother visited whilst I was tooting away so I asked him if he could tell me what the flavour was supposed to be. After a few toots he was instantly able to tell me it was opal fruits (Starburst if your under 20) so, did it taste as it was supposed to? Yes it did, it was just better in some atomisers than others. Would I buy this liquid with my own money? Yes I think so, again it wouldn't be something I would vape all day, it is quite sweet. But it's again a liquid I'm quite glad I can pick up and use for a bit for a while. As with the other flavour, I was more than happy with the throat hit and vapour production from this one too.

Overall would I recommend this company to others? Yes I certainly would, the choice of flavours is really not bad at a all, they are not overly expensive. I wouldn't say they were cheap, but I would say there stuff is very reasonable priced. The hardware they stock varies from your Ego, Evod type starter stuff and goes through to those that want a little bit more. For those that want you can get your Sub tanks ( I hear these are quite good, people seem to like them) with a K-Box (again supposed to be quite good) or if you prefer your Aspire stuff they have the Sub Ohm CF kits too. It also looks from their site that they will at some point cater for those that want to mix their own liquids. Currently the have empty bottles and syringes. To reward frequent purchases there is also a loyalty reward program in the form of Hut points which can be used (once enough have been accrued) to purchase the items you want. If nothing else, take a look at the site I think you'll quite like the selection available, as already mentioned there are a fair few flavours for you try. Whilst your buying your liquids, you can pick up a new tank at the same time. I've found nothing annoys me more than having to use different sites and incurring all those extra postage charges. So enough from me, thanks for reading. Have a look at the site here and give them I try, I'm sure you'll not be disappointed. Thankyou Lewis for sending these two flavours on for me to try.

Jimmy The Juice Man's Creme Brulee

I was contacted by David from Vape Club and was asked if I would like to have some juice from their fairly extensive menu to try out for review. Of course I said yes please and here we are, with the first of the four bottles I was sent. It's a name I'm sure pretty much anyone who has an Internet connection and vapes will of heard about. It's Jimmy The Juice Man and I have before me a bottle of Creme Brulee. 
   

     Let's get down to what I think about this particular flavour, I started off with a tank full in a SQuape R with a nickel build on a DNA40 device. I sat there having a vape and do you know what? I just hated it. It's supposed to be Creme Brulee,  why can I only taste banana? Not nice banana at that if I'm honest. It didn't get any better with different temperature or wattage settings. In the interest of fairness and my thoughts that , so many people rave about this stuff, it can't be that bad. I tried a different angle, I put a kanthal build in a Kayfun V4, on a Phenom and gave that a blast. It was slightly more appealing but I still wasn't sold on this juice at all. My next move was to try it in a dripper, so a fresh build was put in the Derringer and I gave that a go, it was starting to get better.  I was actually beginning to

get some of the other flavours starting to show through now, I could now detect a bit of burnt sugar, a bit of the creamy goodness too. There still for me though, wasn't that wow about it. So along the same line of thought as before, I decided that if using a dripper helped. Would it get better if that dripper got smaller? Out came my Squonker with a tiny little No Fear atomiser on top, still using kanthal and some new Japanese cotton.  I filled the little squonk bottle and tried again. 
Now I wasn't expecting much improvement but I've got to 

say I'm liking this juice more and more each time I have a squonk. On the inhale I now get that creamy custard flavour come through so much better, with the accompanying banana which now doesn't overpower as it did before. Then on the exhale that creamy custard flavour starts to give way to  nice little hint of burnt sugar. What I didn't expect when I first tried this juice was the banana. Whenever I've been out at a restaurant and have chosen Creme Brulee as a dessert, it's never had banana in it. So I looked up the recipe and I was a little surprised to find how many variants of Creme Brulee there actually are. Typically you get Custard, flavoured with Vanilla, topped with caramalised or burnt sugar. Due to the sweetness of the dish you would normally only have a small serving.


Your most common recipe is this:-

Crème brûlée (/ˌkrɛm bruːˈleɪ/; French pronunciation: ​[kʁɛm bʁy.le]),^[1] also known asburnt cream, crema catalana, or Trinity cream^[2]is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hardcaramel. It is normally served at room temperature. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but can also be flavored with a variety of other flavorings. (This is from Wikipedia)

This is the recipe I'm most used to, so I think I would like this flavour more if they dropped the banana and stuck with the vanilla as the main flavouring for the custard base.

Saying that though, the more I vape this with my squonking setup the more it's growing on me. I have tried it in a tank again and I still hate it, so for me it'll be a juice I use exclusively in a very tiny 14mm bottom fed dripper. The question is, when this bottle has gone will I be wanting any more of it? Yes I think I will, I'm sure it's only going to get better as it steeps. Who knows, in a few more weeks once it's matured some more I may even acquire a taste for this juice in a tan, if I do I'll let you know. This juice is available in 0,6,12 and 18mg strengths, it's a 50/50 PG/VG blend and will cost you £15.99 for 30ml. You get your usual child proof cap with dripping pipette and a nicely presented bottle, I have to say I really do like the brand logo quite a lot. Vape Club offer next day delivery if you order before 16:20 hrs and if your order exceeds £20 the postage is free, yes you read that right I did say free. To be fair with the selection Vape Club have on offer, spending £20 is going to be so easy. They have juice from all the big names, I'm sure you'll be spoilt for choice. I urge you to have a look on their page which is www.vape club.co.uk, I was personally amazed and really happy that a UK company has such a wide selection of premium juice available. American liquids are great, but it's the shipping costs and the weeks wait, even longer if customs want to check it over that just makes it really expensive and has always put me off In the past.  I did get this juice free for review,  but I will definitely be keeping Vape Club in my browser bookmarks and will, most certainly be visiting to make a purchase in the future.

***Update***

I have continued with my search to get the best from this particular liquid and have found,

that for me it works best with a Stainless Steel mesh wick. Using the same 14mm atomiser I switched the configuration to allow a central mesh wick, then using some 0.2mm Kanthal I was able to wrap a 1.1 ohm coil and Squonk away. The Mesh wick is quite highly regarded as one of the best, if not the best wicking material to provide the best flavour possible. In this case and with this particular juice, I have found it to be completely accurate. The thing to bear in mind with a Mesh wick build is that it needs to be properly oxidised before use and just as importantly,  it wicks very well but will not absorb liquid like cotton or silica etc. wick will. That is why you will see cotton in the bottom of the atomiser. It's there solely to catch excess fluid. This will stop excess fluid congregating at the air hole of the atomiser which will cause it to gurgle. If you have a central wick compatible atomiser I strongly advise you give it a try, it works really well. There are video tutorials about on YouTube should you want or need some help.

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.

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.
