Dripping With Flavour

As I've mentioned a few times I belong to many Facebook groups, since I've been Squonking I've joined as many groups relating to squonking as possible. On a few groups I kept seeing this one particular juice pictured all the time.  Curiosity got the better of me, all the posts I saw with A.P.C mentioned all seemed really positive. All these people couldn't all be biased or misleading could they?
So a bit of digging around revealed the name of the site where this and other liquids could be found. That site was Dripping With Flavour, I was very pleased to find another well regarded UK made liquid being mentioned a lot, nothing against US liquids,  the ones I've tried so far for the most part have been great. As a Brit though I have to favour UK made, it's just the right thing to do. Anyway back to it, I got some A.P.C through the door, let it steep a bit and gave it a go, here's what I thought.....


A.P.C

As I'm sure the astute amongst you will have guessed from looking at the picture, A.P.C is Apple Pie and Custard.  I really do like my custards and who doesn't like Apple Pie?  Together you get a traditional dessert flavour which doesn't disappoint. This juice is no exception, as I found out about this juice from a Squonking group it seemed only right to sample it on a Squonking setup. So in the Viper it went and if I'm honest, that's the only juice I've been Squonking with since it arrived. I absolutely love this stuff, I'm so glad I got some. On the inhale you get that sweet spiced Apple Pie and on the exhale that combines with a nice creamy custard which is great. This juice is available in 0,3, 6,12 and 18mg nicotine strengths. You get to choose between 60/40 and 30/70 PG/VG. You can choose from two bottle sizes, a 10ml which will set you back £4 and for £5 more you can get a 30ml bottle. This is where my issue lies, much bigger bottles are needed in my opinion, and I don't think I'm the only one that thinks that. There has been mention of whether or not people would like to see bigger bottles on the Dripping with Flavour Facebook page. Hopefully bigger bottles will arrive sooner rather than later. I'll let you in on a little secret, don't tell anyone but, after speaking with Joe from Dripping with Flavour,  he has hinted that it looks like it will happen. Which is great news as far as I'm concerned, this is right up there in my opinion as one of my favourite juices. I'll definitely be wanting more of this when I run out, my only dilemma is do I buy it now so it has chance to steep before my bottle dies or do I wait for my bottle to get low before I order. There really isn't much else I can tell you about this to be fair, other than its great go and get some for yourself, you'll not be disappointed.  I love it I'm sure you will too. So get some A.P.C and squonk away!!!


Bahama Mama

I got this liquid with the A.P.C, it smells great and it tastes great too. I wasn't so bothered about using a squonker with this one so it went in my Origen V2 with some fresh cotton. If any of you are familiar with Tropical Sparkle you'll love this, it's very similar with one slight difference. There's been some coconut added to the mix and it works so well. The tropical flavours hit you first, the mango and pineapple come through brilliantly then the coconut comes along complimenting the tropical flavour. I only wish 10ml lasted longer, I tend to vape this later on at night and it's good. I've been tempted a few times when the A.P.C ran out in my squonk bottle to try this in the squonker but for some reason it's not quite made it, not because of any particular reason other than because I can't be bothered to clean it all out to change the flavour. If I have any Bahama Mama left when I do I'll definitely be giving it a go. This is the same price as the A.P.C and comes in the same nicotine strengths, mix ratio's And bottle sizes. Again I'll definitely be ordering more of this flavour too, it's very good.

There are quite a few flavours available on the site and after trying these two I am very tempted to try some others. So enough reading, head over to Dripping with Flavour and get some A.P.C in your basket, whilst your at it you wouldn't go far wrong by adding some Bahama Mama to the basket too. Here's the site, have at it people!!!!!

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.

Mrs Lord & Co - Part One

I have here some of Mrs Lords finest liquids, to be fair I've heard so much about this stuff. But being me I didn't want to just follow the herd and get some. I've never been a follower, however an opportunity arose to give some of these liquids a try. Having resisted for a long time, I figured why not. Who knows it may actually be as good as people say it is. I picked five that most appealed and waited for Pat to deliver them. They came very quickly, very well packaged and in perfect condition. All that was left to do was give them a try, so the tank was cleaned and I tried the first three. Here's what I thought......

Seville Marmalade

To be honest as much as I like Marmalade, Orange Marmalade is not usually my first choice, I prefer the Lime variant. I decided to give it a go anyway,

I'm glad I did. It's pretty good, if you're familiar with Seville Orange Marmalade then you will instantly recognise that quite bitter, tangy Orange flavour right from the very first vape. According to the website this recipe is the result of twenty previous attempts at this flavour. I have to say I think Mr Lord has pretty much nailed it. I wonder if he could knock up a Lime version? If he could, or would then I would definitely be in the queue to give it a try. As nice as this is, I wouldn't vape it all day, everyday. For me this is really quite nice in the morning with your first cuppa of the day. It's an ideal breakfast vape. You get the great taste of the Marmalade, without the need to prepare the toast or wash up afterwards. Vapour production with this liquid is very good, it's a 50/50 mix so depending on your build you could very easily get a decent cloud out of this and still get the full taste experience from it. Will I be getting any more of this when it runs out? I think the answer to that is a definite yes, although as I don't use this all day everyday, the 15ml I have will last me a little while.

Victoria Sandwich

I think most of you will be very familiar with the Victoria Sandwich, so the most important question that needs answering in regard to this liquid is,

does it taste like Victoria Sandwich? Well I'm fairly sure you'll have a smile on your face, when you take a whiff of this liquid on first removing the cap. For me, when I took the cap off and had a quick sniff, I was instantly reminded of homemade cakes and couldn't wait to get this in the tank. So in the tank it went and I have to say I really enjoyed vaping this, it's a great liquid. To answer the question, yes it does taste exactly like it should. The Jam, cream and sponge flavours combine brilliantly,  they come through really well and leave a very pleasant after taste that leaves your mouth watering and wanting more. Mrs Beeton herself couldn't have done any better in my opinion. I've used this liquid a fair bit since it arrived and have to say, next time I'm going to have to get the bigger bottle. I really can't see this one lasting to long, I really find it quite hard to put down. I'm quite a fan of dessert flavours and usually find that they don't quite live up to what they're supposed to be, this one however really does. I like it a lot. If your going to place an order with Mrs Lord & Co and like your dessert flavours then I can definitely recommend this one, I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. I know I'll be adding more of this to my basket very soon.

Spotted Dick

This one I'm not too sure about to be honest,  this isn't one of Mr Lord's creations. According to their site it's one of his favourite Chefs Vapour recipe's.

Spotted Dick and Custard is a cracking dessert after a Sunday lunch, it's not one of my absolute favourites but I like it none the less. So it seemed like a good idea to give it a try. In the tank it went and I gave it a vape. You definitely get the rich raisin filled sponge taste come through nice and clearly. However this is why I'm in two minds about it, I've never eaten Spotted Dick and thought, you know what. I won't bother having custard on it, I'll have it without..... I really think this needs to have a custard flavour with it. Yes it tastes like it should and how you would expect it too, but without the custard it's not quite right. It's just one of those liquids that every time I give it a vape I'm always going to end up reminded of the fact it's missing something. Now having said that, I'm sure a lot of you vapers reading this will be more than happy to tinker with this and add your favourite custard to it. When you do and get the mix just right, I'm sure this liquid will be all the better for it. Will I be getting this liquid again? Well if they made a Spotted Dick and Custard, yes I wouldn't mind giving it a go. But as it is, I don't think this is one I would get more of. It just isn't for me at all.

The Mrs Lord & Co website is just here if you would like to pay them a visit, they have thirteen flavours on the menu to choose from. All of their liquids are in a 50/50 ratio, with the choice of 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24mg nicotine strengths. Some great things to note is all their liquids will reach you next day where possible (Royal Mail willing) if you order before 15:30 hrs, there is a flat shipping fee of £3 per order. The best thing though is your chosen flavours will arrive pre steeped. No waiting just fill your tank or prime your dripper and go for it. For those of you on the other side of the water, good news, they'll ship to you if you so choose. With a suggested delivery time of ten days. There are some other items for your consideration too, the also sell coil jigs, filling syringes,  Kayfun custom caps and the popular Japanese Cotton. So if you want some tasty liquid, give them a look. I'm sure you'll be more than happy with your selection. I have two more flavour to try out, once I've finished testing them I'll post my thoughts, the two to come are Custard Cream and Toffee Apple. They smell really, really good. Hopefully they taste as good as they smell.......

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*.

Coming Soon from Spectrum Vaping

Guess what I have here........... go on guess, without looking down the page. No? ok I'll just tell you, I have two flavours from Spectrum Vaping that aren't available just yet. I'm sure your wondering how I got them??? Is it that I write great reviews and have vendors firing me emails all day, everyday asking me to review their products?? Unfortunately not just yet, however I do have a few vendors who like what I do and how I do it and I'm always happy to do more reviews (hint hint to any vendors out there). No, yet again I entered a comp on Facebook. Seriously people if you want free juice then join some Facebook groups, there are regular competitions held by different vendor's who sponsor a group for a period of time, there are also discounts for group members and you will have access to an absolute wealth of information from some very seasoned and experienced vapers so what are you waiting for....... on second thoughts if you don't mind waiting just a little longer i'd be grateful if you would finish reading this first. Right onto my thoughts on these two liquids I have here in front of me*


Pear Drops

Well what can I say? I used to quite like eating the sweets, although I haven't had them in a long time I certainly remember the taste. So the most important question that needs answering is, does it taste like Pear Drops?

Yes it most certainly does, it tastes like Pear Drops and smells like Pear Drops, it's really quite a refreshing vape that for me caused my mouth to water. I got a new dripper the other day, so this liquid has been dripped into my new Origen V2 with a one ohm single coil and Rayon build. This liquids flavours just pop, you get the same taste you get from eating Pear Drop sweets without the feeling you get from eating too many of them..... you know that feeling you get on your tongue after eating too many sugar coated boiled sweets that leaves your tongue feeling like it's been rubbed down with sand paper, well those days are gone if you switch the hard boiled sweet version to the e liquid version from Spectrum Vaping. I have really enjoyed vaping with this liquid, I have used this quite a lot and will continue to do so.

Sex On The Beach

I'm not a drinker of cocktails, well if I'm honest I'm not a huge drinker of anything alcoholic, so I don't really have a reference to base this flavour against. I can tell you that this is another liquid I have really enjoyed having a vape with. I looked up the ingredients to this cocktail and it has a fair few variants. So all I can tell you is,  i can only imagine it tastes like the drink minus the alcohol,

 it's fruity and refreshing, i maybe wrong but i also get a coconut flavour in there aswell ( some variants of the recipe used for this cocktail use Malibu so it would fit) and I can honestly hand on heart tell you I could happily spend all day vaping this liquid with no issues whatsoever. I'd be more than happy for your opinions when this liquid goes on sale, please comment with your thoughts down at the bottom. What's even better with this liquid is it will not impair your ability to operate machinery or get behind the wheel of your car because the tastes of the cocktail are there just without the schnapps and the vodka. This is definitely a liquid that needs to be tried to be appreciated, so when it goes on sale I highly recommend you check out the site and add this to your basket. I really don't think you'll be disappointed, it's quite sweet but without being so sweet it becomes overpowering. If you like your liquids drink themed then this is definitely one your going to want to have in your supplies.



After my friendly Pat pushed these through the door I went back to the vendors website and I have to say, there are a decent amount of flavour options on the menu for your vaping enjoyment so I would wholeheartedly suggest you head over to Spectrum Vaping and have a look at what's on offer. They have nicotine strengths of 0,6,12,18 and 24mg with your choice of 50/50 or 70/30 ratio's. You'll be looking at £3.50 for a 10ml, £6.50 for a 20ml and £9.50 for a 30ml. For an added bonus there is also a current discount code listed on the site that will give you 20% off your total spend when you use SUMMER20 at the checkout, so that's going to mean you'll get 10ml for less than £3 which I'm sure you'll agree is fantastic value. This discount code is only valid till 23:59 on Sunday 7th September so stock up while you can, if you want a bigger bottle, a different ratio or a different nicotine strength it states on the site to add your requirements to the notes section of your order at checkout and they'll do their best to help you get your liquid just the way you like it. You can't ask for more than that can you...............

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.

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.
