Today I am reviewing four new e-liquids, sent to me free for review by Sharon and Flemming at LTecigs in Shipley UK. The new flavours should be introduced to their store soon. 'Witchcraft' is available for sale and comes in 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg. 10ml priced at only £2.

The e-liquids I am reviewing today are :-
Witchcraft (6mg) 50PG/50VG - 'A Cauldron Mix of Fruits'.
Banana CC (18mg) 50PG/50VG - 'Banana Custard Cream'
Breakfast (18mg) 50PG/50VG -  
Rainbow (18mg) 50PG/50VG - 'A Rainbow of Fruits'

I am using my Disrupter at 30w with my tugboat atty reading 0.5ohm.
All bottles come with child safety caps. The labels are all clearly printed and easily read. There is also a use by date on each bottle, and every bottle you buy will come filled to the brim, so you are getting more for your money.
LTecigs customer service is impeccable, their standard of e-liquid can't be beaten, both in quality and price, and Shipping times are remarkable, as is the standard of service they produce. The ingredients used by LTecigs are of the highest quality, and are made here in the UK. A truly wonderful company to deal with and one I recommend you try if you haven't already done so.
My opinion of the e-liquids I am reviewing today are my own, and will be my true and honest opinion as always.

Juice No.1 - 'Witchcraft'

On opening the bottle, A beautiful mix of rich, sweet aromas wafted from the bottle. To me it's scent reminded me of pear drops, the little hard boiled candies I enjoyed as a child. Some are red, and some are yellow in colour, and they resemble the shapes of miniature pears with a sugary coating. Secondly, soft chewy jelly babies, with hints of sweetie bananas. Straight away this e-liquid made my mouth salivate. It was like smelling a sweetie shop packed into a bottle.

On the Inhale, Wow! What a surprise. I wasn't expecting this one. My tastebuds came to life as I took my first inhale. I wasn't ready for the surprise that awaited me. A wave of icy cool vapour swept over my palate, chilling my senses and filling every inch of my mouth. Cool, refreshing and extremely pleasing.

On the exhale, I could taste the pear drops with a hint of what actually tasted of jelly babies and banana. The same taste sensation as the aromas I got when opening the bottle. A sweetie shop in my mouth bursting with flavour. Swooshing over my palate, filling every crevice of my mouth, whilst reminding me of my childhood. The flavours danced and skipped over my tongue leaving a remaining taste on my tastebuds. Smooth and sweet but not overly sweet. A pleasurable chilling sensation with an icy kick without the mintiness. The cooling effect definitely brought this juice to another level. It heightened the pleasure of the vape, and the first word that came to mind was 'Yummy'. I loved this e-liquid.

Summary:- A fantastic e-liquid. I really enjoyed this one. It was smooth on the palate, cooling and refreshing, with just the right amount of chill factor. The flavours blended beautifully together, and complimented the juice perfectly. There was a slight sweetness, and it was just the right amount. It wasn't in any way cloying or overpowering, and left me with feelings of consistency and richness. A world of silence, and a room filled with stillness and contentment, as I sat back and enjoyed my time with 'Witchcraft.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Most definitely Yes.
Would I change anything about it .................. No, it's perfect as it is.
Vapour Production ............... Produces a solid amount of vapour for a 50/50 juice.
Throat hit - Yes it's spot on. Just what you would expect from a 6mg e-liquid. Good lung hit too.
ADV - Yes I could vape this all day. It's mellow and smooth with a great punch of flavour.

Final Thoughts - This e-liquid ticks all the things I look for in an e-liquid. It's one I haven't been able to put down since receiving it from Sharon and Flemming. I recommend you give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.

Juice No.2 - 'Banana CC' - 'Banana Custard Cream'

On opening the bottle, I could smell hints of banana. It was a pleasant scent, but there wasn't a strong aroma from this one. It had a creaminess to the aroma. I could smell vanilla, but very slightly. I was looking forward to trying this one as I love anything with banana in it.

On the Inhale, a mild banana flavour smoothly flowed over my palate. I didn't really taste much creaminess in the e-liquid but the vanilla lay behind the banana nicely. I would say the banana was more to the forefront of the juice. It is a very mellow, smooth vape but lacked a bit in flavour. I always say that taste is subjective and I may not get what others do. To me, if a touch more flavouring was added, this e-liquid would be an enjoyable vape.

On the exhale, again, a soft banana taste. The vanilla flavour comes out a little more, but still lacks in flavour for me.

Summary:- A pleasant vape. I didn't really get the banana custard flavour but if more flavouring was added, this would be a pleasant vape. I have tried a wide range of LTecigs e-liquids and there hasn't been one I haven't liked.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ No, sadly this one wasn't for me, but I'll be buying the other three.
Would I change anything about it .................. Yes, I would add a touch more flavour to enhance the overall taste.
Vapour Production ............... Produces a good amount of vapour for a 50/50 juice.
Throat hit - Yes, good throat hit as you would expect from an 18mg e-liquid
ADV - Yes it could be an all day vape. It is a mild and mellow juice, so it would suit vapers who enjoy less flavour in their e-liquids.

Final Thoughts - This e-liquid is a nice vape, but it lacks in flavour for me. Sadly it's not one for me, but If you like banana custards, give this one a try. Taste is very subjective.

Juice No.3 - 'Breakfast'

On opening the bottle, a rich dark coffee aroma, wafts into the air from the bottle. I love my coffee vapes and LTecigs have a few lovely coffee vapes. Tiramisu being one of my favourites. I couldn't wait to get this in my atty and give it a try as the scent from the bottle was very inviting.

On the Inhale, a medium breakfast coffee flavour with of a hint of cream and a touch of vanilla. I could feel the smoothness gliding over my palate and resting on my tastebuds. It has no bitter taste and is blended to perfection, with just the slightest hint of sweetness. With me not being allowed sugar, I've got used to not having it over the years, and It's great when we vapers have all these wonderful e-liquid flavours at hand. They give us what we need to satisfy those cravings we all have from time to time. LTecigs have outdone themselves when it comes to e-liquids. They have a wonderful array of flavours to suit everyone's requirements.

On the exhale, flavourful vapour flowed back over my palate, and on my lips I could taste what I thought was toast. The e-liquid had a toasty, cereal type of taste which was really nice. I'm not sure what flavours are in the 'Breakfast' e-liquid, but to me it tasted of coffee and toast, coffee cereal or some sort of coffee and croissant flavour. It was really nice. I could be totally wrong, but I thoroughly enjoyed vaping this one, and tasting it blind, not knowing what flavours were in it, made it even more mystical.

Summary:- I really liked this e-liquid. Coffee flavours are one of my favourite vapes. This is another nice coffee e-liquid to add to LTecigs ever growing coffee collection.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes
Would I change anything about it .................. No it's perfect as it is.
Vapour Production ............... Produces a solid amount of vapour for a 50/50 juice.
Throat hit - Yes, good throat hit that you would expect from an 18mg juice.
ADV - Yes it could be an all day vape. It's perfectly blended and isn't sweet or bitter in any way.

Final Thoughts - This is a very nice breakfast coffee vape. I enjoyed this one. It's in no way overpowering and has a very pleasant flavour.

Juice No.4 - 'Rainbow'

On opening the bottle, the most fragrant aroma of mixed fruits wafts from the bottle. It reminds me of mixed forest berries with hints of citrus. It was full of wonderful fruity aromas and the scent was sublime. Making my mouth water, I couldn't wait try it.

On the Inhale, a wonderful array of fruit flavours danced over my palate coating every part of my mouth. There was a slight fizziness tingling on my tongue, and it took me back to my childhood days when I used to buy the packets of 'Sherbet Dabs'. I don't know if you can still buy them. It essentially was a paper bag you'd tear across the top. It contained rainbow sherbet, and it came with a strawberry lollipop. You'd lick the lollipop to wet it, and then you would dab the lollipop in the bag (Poke in Scottish). The sherbet would stick to the lollipop so you could lick it off. You would keep doing this until the sherbet was finished, then it was time to eat the lollipop. I used to love them, and this is what I experienced when I tried 'Rainbow'. It is a very refreshing vape. The main fruits used in making sherbet are orange, raspberry, lime, lemon, and pineapple. Sherbet is traditionally used between meals as it helps to cleanse the palate, and is very popular with both children and adults alike.

On the exhale, the flavour had oodles of fruitiness, and on leaving my mouth I tasted a slight floral note which added character to the flavour. The flavour changed slightly again, and when gliding over my lips, I tasted what seemed like 'Skittles'. A beautiful enigmatic flavour and one to try when you get the chance.


Summary:- This is a really nice flavour, and I enjoyed vaping this one a lot. It had a nice sweetness, which wasn't overly sweet or cloying. It had the perfect blend of flavours to make this a truly satisfying, refreshing vape.
Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes.
Would I change anything about it .................. No, it's nice the way it is.
Vapour Production ............... Produces a solid amount of vapour for a 50/50 juice.
Throat hit - Yes it's what you'd expect for an 18mg e-liquid.
ADV - Yes it could be an all day vape.

Final Thoughts - I really enjoyed this e-liquid. It was very palatable and refreshing. Another lovely e-liquid from Sharon and Flemming.

I'm not sure when the e-liquids will be going live on LTecigs website but if you keep an eye on their online store, they should be up for sale soon. The 'Witchcraft' is being sold in 10ml bottles at the moment for only £2.00.

LTecigs

http://www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk
10/06/2015

Today I am reviewing eight new e-liquids, given to me free for review. They haven't yet been introduced to the shop. Sharon and Flemming asked me if I would like to try all eight e liquids and let them know my thoughts on each flavour. I graciously agreed as I'm a big fan of LT's e-liquids.

LTecigs is an E-Liquid/E-cigarette company run by Flemming and Sharon. Two lovely people who have been running LTecigs for sometime, solely to help the Vaping community new and old, and for those seeking to give up smoking tobacco products and transition over to E-cigarettes. They have a large following of fellow vapers in our ever growing vaping community, and are a company who strive to please their customers, and serve the public to the highest level possible. They have worked very hard to make their business the best there is, and are proud of their achievement in doing so.

As Flemming said in his own words, " The company has years of experience in selling good quality ecigs and accessories. We pride ourselves in giving a fast and efficient service. Customer satisfaction is our priority".

I have been a customer of Sharon and Flemming for quite sometime now. I have been vaping for over 3 years,  and I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience whilst shopping with them. I will admit, at first, when I purchased for the first time, I thought a juice at £5.20 for 30ml surely couldn't be all that good, but wow! was I wrong. I absolutely loved them. Their customer service is impeccable, their standard in e-liquid can't be beaten, both in quality and price, and they are a credit to our vaping community. Shipping times are remarkable, as is the standard of service they produce. They take pride in all they do, and it clearly shines through. An amazing one stop mod shop for all your vaping needs. From e-liquids to mods, from starter kits to DIY, they have it all.
10ml bottles are, on average £2.40, and 30ml bottles are £5.40 or there abouts. Some e liquids are a few pennies more. It really depends on the complexity of the juice. The ingredients used by LTecigs are of the highest quality, and are made by them, here in the UK.

The e-liquids I am reviewing are (in order) :- Black Ice, Peach, Heisenberg, Mountain Mist, Banana Cream, Cherry Menthol, Candy Floss, and Tizer.

To test the e-liquids, I am using my Axis with my Vulcan RDA at 0.5ohm and .26 kanthal with Muji cotton. I have it set at 35w. The e-liquids are all 6mg 50pg/50vg.
All bottles are chip compliant and come with child safety caps, and all necessary tactile warnings as required. They have good labelling which is easily read, and they all come with 'USE BY DATES', which I think is great.
My opinion of these e-liquids are of my own, and will be my true and honest opinion as always.


NO.1 - BLACK ICE

On opening the bottle, a sweet, dark, earthy aroma slowly arose from the bottle. Fresh, fragrant and very appealing to the nose. It made my mouth salivate, and I couldn't wait to try it.
It's aromas gave the slightest hint of  blackcurrant in the background. I knew straight away I was going to enjoy this one.

On the Inhale, A dark semi sweet liquorice flavour, fanned over my palate. Soothing, smooth and light, followed by a slight absinthe/aniseed earthy type of taste, softly caressing my tastebuds, and filling my mouth with a soft, mellowing, gentleness. A flavour which takes me back to my childhood, and a penny bag of liquorice and blackcurrant hard boiled sweets from our local sweet shop. Oh Boy! were they good.

On the exhale, a chilling kick of cooling menthol glides over my palate. Icy cold and very refreshing, yet warming and not overpowering in any way. This was a match made in heaven. The cool breeze of the menthol cascaded over my palate, leaving a cool, sweet, sensation on my awaiting lips. The flavours lingered for a little while after on my tongue, teasing my tastebuds, and wanting more.

Summary:- This is a lovely e-liquid. It's sweet but not overly sweet. There were no underlying bitterness or acidity. I really enjoyed this one. Refreshing, moreish, and very inviting, are how I would explain this one.
The flavours work perfectly well together, and, the aftertaste remaining on my palate afterwards was truly divine.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes, definitely
Would I change anything about it .................. No
Vapour Production ............... Excellent for a 50/50 juice. It also depends on your set up.
Throathit - Very good for a 6mg juice
ADV - Not an all day vape for me but definitely throughout the day inbetween my usual vapes.

If you enjoy the above mentioned flavours, you will love this one. I recommend you give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

No.2 - PEACH

On opening the bottle, my first reaction to the aroma was simply WOW! It hit me with the most pronounced peach scent I have ever come across in an e-liquid.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The peachy scents filled the air in a matter of seconds, and I imagined myself in a sunny meadow surrounded in a sea full of peaches and warm bright sunshine. The luxurious, satin smooth, fresh, juicy peaches, were mouthwateringly appealing to me, and I couldn't wait to try it.

On the Inhale, the flavour of the peach was just incredible. So pronounced and ripe. A sweet juicy Georgia peach with hints of a sweet white peach. A white peach has less acidic properties and is sweeter, unlike the yellow peach which has a more acidic sweetness. Imagine picking one from a tree, and immediately biting into its warm, sweet flesh.  Fresh, soft, smooth, juicy and tantalisingly mouthwatering. A luscious, juicy peach is one of summer's ultimate pleasures. Soft and smooth on the outside and sweet and juicy on the inside. What more could you ask for.

On the exhale, flowing, caressing and enveloping the whole of my mouth with such passion, and slowly leaving a lingering spiciness as it passes over my lips into the atmosphere. The flavour generously lingers in the mouth for quite some time afterwards,  exciting your palate and leaving a scent of everything summer in your surroundings.

Summary:- This is by far, the best peach e-liquid I have had to date. It is so fresh it almost feels real. I highly recommend this juice, because you have to taste it to believe it. Vape it and see where it takes you to.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes, definitely
Would I change anything about it .................. No
Vapour Production ............... Excellent for a 50/50 juice. It also depends on your set up.
Throathit - Very good for a 6mg juice
ADV - Yes, this is one I could vape all day long, it's that good.

No.3 - HEISENBERG (Breaking Bad TV series)

Product description on google :- 'A secret recipe that can only be described as the daddy of all day vapes.
A fruity undertone and a cool crystal after sensation that will leave you wondering what it is and wanting more.'

*(Heisenberg e-liquid is a blue slush puppy flavour, earning it's name from Walter White's creation on the hit television show "Breaking Bad", and fastly becoming one of the worlds most talked about E-Liquid flavours.)*( 'taken from Wiki' )

On opening the bottle, a light fruity, floral scent arose from the bottle. The aroma was quite strong, but still very complex to selectively choose what is actually in the juice.

On the Inhale, the first taste I recognised was a black grape type of flavour, with a slight bitter spicy note. There were hints of blue raspberry, quite like the slush puppies we had in our childhood. The flavour intensity brought out the sweetness of the juice, and lurking in the background were hints of a tangy citrus, maybe lemon, and a tartness that pulls all the complexity of the flavours together, not unlike an angus dura bitters. The creaminess is hiding in the background, but cuts through the sour notes to give a well rounded vape. I'm not sure what has been used to make the juice, but to me I can taste a very slight hint of vanilla.

On the exhale, an icy blast chilled my mouth. Cooling, but in no way harsh. I wouldn't say it was a menthol blast, but rather a Koolada ice. There were slight hints of eucalyptus or wintergreen, but again, I'm not too sure, I could be totally wrong on all aspects. This is what my tastebuds are picking up. Your opinion of the flavours could be totally different from mine. Taste is very subjective and this one is difficult to pin point what flavours are in there. A very complex flavour and a good one at that.

Summary:- Heisenberg is a very complex e-liquid. It has many different layers to it, and to summarise it in two words, I would say 'Simply delicious'.
If you like multi complex e-liquids which are fruity, chilled, and has depth, then you will have to try this one. Another great juice LT.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes, definitely
Would I change anything about it .................. No
Vapour Production ............... Excellent for a 50/50 juice.
Throathit - Excellent for a 6mg juice
ADV - Probably not, as it's a very rich juice for me. I would vape it while sitting chilling at night in front of the TV, or for that moment when I want to vape something a bit different to my all day vapes. This would be a good one for those with vapers tongue.

No.4 - MOUNTAIN MIST

Mountain Dew is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo.

On opening the bottle, I could smell freshly squeezed lemons. The aroma of this one is a little lighter than the others, but still a very refreshing scent arose from the bottle and very pleasing to the nose.

On the Inhale, the rush of sweet lemonade swept over my taste buds. Refreshing and energising, and another fantastic summer vape whilst basking out in the hot sun. It is a very smooth vape with no acidity. It won't pull your cheeks together, which I prefer. Sweet but not overly sweet and just perfect for cleansing the palate.

On the exhale, that same rush of sweet lemonade, but this time joined by a succulent sweet Mediterranean lime, stimulating my salivary glands, feeling refreshed and alive.

Summary:- I have always been partial to citrus vapes, and this one is extremely nice. The blend of lemon and lime pair beautifully together, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to start your day. A lovely smooth vape.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes
Would I change anything about it .................. No
Vapour Production ...............  Really good vapour production, as with all the e-liquids here.
Throathit - Perfect for 6mg
ADV - Most definitely yes

No.5 - BANANA CREAM

Banana Cream  is a delicious dessert flavour with notes of vanilla custard, creams and fresh ripe bananas. It's a favourite dessert dish we all know and love. A comfort food that lives up to it's name.

On opening the bottle, the fragrance begins with top notes of ripe banana, and a yummy ambrosia of vanilla and sweet whipped cream.

On the Inhale, A nice full on aroma of banana, and I would say a natural banana flavour dominating this juice, mixed with just the right amount of creams and vanillas to give a smooth, rich and pleasant vape. Oozing with flavour, this e-liquid will satisfy your sweet tooth without packing on the calories. It is a very smooth vape, creamy, sweet and delicious, but not overwhelming, and just the right amount of sweetness. The smooth vape provides a nice compliment to the creamy taste of the vanilla extract. It has that perfect sweet taste we look for and love in a dessert, and it oozes quality.

On the exhale, a thick billowing cloud of heaven. This is pure indulgence, and I can't seem to put down to move forward onto my next juice review.

Summary:- This e-liquid is beautiful. It's the perfect vape and one every vaper should have in their daily rotation. It would be great after your evening meal or to sit and chillout with at night with a nice hot cocoa. Anyone who likes banana vapes will love this one. Pure indulgence.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes
Would I change anything about it .................. No, it's perfect
Vapour Production ...............  Great vapour production
Throathit ............. Minimal throat hit as it is a very smooth vape
ADV ..................... I would happily vape this all day

No.6 - CHERRY MENTHOL

A sweet and cooling cherry menthol blend. Reminiscent of those famous sweets that help you breathe more easily. It is a tuneful mix of sweet red cherries wrapped in a cooling menthol.

On opening the bottle, the aroma of sharp, sweet, red cherries wafted in the air. Tantalizing, sweet and seductive.

On the Inhale, a wonderful cherry flavour, flowed onto my palate with no effort at all,  resting silently on my tongue. Fresh, soothing, smooth, refreshing and simply delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness to carry the sharpness of the cherry. A delicious sweet cherry hit lasting for seconds, rolling around your tongue, your tastebuds begging for more.

On the exhale, an icy chilling blast of menthol encapsulates your tastebuds. Swirling around your mouth with pleasure. Two very popular flavours rolled into one. Blended to perfection, with none overpowering the other. A very sexy juice, and one I'll be stocking up with. It takes you to parts, youv'e never been before.

Summary:- This is another fantastic flavour LTecigs have lovingly brought to us. What an amazing vape.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes definitely
Would I change anything about it .................. No, it's perfect
Vapour Production ...............  Excellent
Throathit ................ Perfect
ADV ..................... Yes, I would vape this all day.

No.7 - CANDY FLOSS

Candy floss is a form of spun sugar. Very Sweet and light in taste. You can now experience the fun of the fair all year round, without leaving home in the comfort of your own armchair.
There is no flavour or colour to the white candy floss until colouring and flavouring are added, and it is mostly sold in fairgrounds, circuses and carnivals. I had to check google for this one, as I wasn't quite sure how candy floss should taste or smell in e-liquid form. This is what I found :-
Candy Floss tastes like a sugary poofy ball at first and dissolves very quickly to leave a sandy sugar in your mouth. It's extremely sweet because after all it is only sugar. People enjoy it because it's fun to eat...the consistency and texture is fun in your mouth and it's fluffy. There are no aromas from Candy floss except if the sugar burns in the hot machine it gives a burnt caramelised smell and taste. The taste of the fairground.

On opening the bottle, I couldn't smell any aroma from this one. I decided to leave it overnight and check it again the following day to see if that made any difference. With me trying all the other juices one after the other, I thought it might have been my tastebuds giving up with all the taste testing I did the night before, so I decided to give them a rest. Next morning arrived and I tried smelling the juice but still no aroma. The next step was to try vaping it and see if that made a difference.

On the Inhale, I could actually taste a slight hint of candy floss, but there wasn't much flavour to it at all.  I didn't want to give up, so I decided to try it in my sub ohm tank and another rda, but still no difference. The vape was still a pleasant one. It felt like I was vaping huge fluffy clouds. The sweetness was there, but it wasn't overly sweet. It was'nt a bad juice, it just lacked flavour.

On the exhale, I got the same taste as I did on the inhale. I'm afraid I can't say much on this one but it definitely wasn't one for me. As you all know, taste is very subjective, and what I may not like, you may love.

Summary:- This would be perfect with added cherry or strawberry flavourings, as it gives that fluffy feeling in the mouth when vaped.
This sadly wasn't one for me. I've never been a candy floss fan, but if you like candy floss, you should give this one a try.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ I might if the juice had more flavour.
Would I change anything about it .................. Yes, maybe some fruity flavours being added.
Vapour Production ...............  Good vapour production as always with LTecigs juices.
Throathit ................ minimal as it's a very smooth vape
ADV ................... No, not for me

N0. 8 - TIZER

Tizer is a unique & iconic British soft drink that is popular due to its mouth-watering mix of citrus and red fruits.

On opening the bottle, the aroma of a floral citrus type scent wafted in front of me. It was a very refreshing scent, enough to make my mouth water. There were hints of lemons and limes, and I picked out the aroma of maybe red cola or American cream soda.

On the Inhale, a zingy citrus flavour coated my palate. Sweet zesty Lemon and fresh tart lime were at the forefront of the inhale. Sharp, bright and extremely refreshing, with a certain sweetness. It was sweet but not overly sweet. I could taste an underlying spiciness coating my tastebuds with maybe a hint of nutmeg.

On the exhale, a sensual, smooth, fruity mix of luscious red berries, coating my lips with hints of Strawberries, raspberries and a sharp twist of citrus, making the juice come to life. I am left guessing what the secret ingredients are. This is another complex juice as Barr&C0. Uk, won't divulge the flavours. They say they are a carefully guarded secret. Another nice e-liquid from Sharon and Flemming.

Summary:- This flavour definitely brings your tastebuds alive. It's invigorating, fresh and very palatable. If you enjoy a zesty berry blend then this one is for you.

Would I buy this e-liquid ................ Yes
Would I change anything about it .................. No
Vapour Production ...............  Very good
Throathit .......... good
ADV ............ Yes

'Virtual Custard', 'The Jaffa' & 'Beaver Juice', Created by Stephen McLaughlin, who owns
http://www.vape-liciouseliquids.co.uk/

Juice Review 01/08/2014
'Virtual Custard', 'The Jaffa' & 'Beaver Juice',

Stephen who owns vape-licious e liquids in Scotland, and who is also a very dear friend of mine, asked me to let you, the vaping public know, that for the time being, his online store will be open on Thursdays and Fridays each week, at this present time. All orders made on these days will be shipped to his customers on Mondays. Stephen, known by all of his friends on facebook as 'Stevo' has a very busy work schedule, and with his multiple shifts, finds it difficult to keep the online store open on a daily basis. He is, at present, a one man band, creating his amazing flavours by himself. However, future plans to open the shop full time, is in the not too distant future.

I am using my Veritas dripper at 0.7ohms, on my viggo mechanical mod, set up using 26 awg kanthal wire and cotton, with a fresh battery at 4.2 volts.
I have chosen my preferred nicotine strength of 12mg, and the mix is 60PG/40VG. I will be using this set up throughout my reviews.


Today I will be reviewing three of the four juices listed, 'Virtual Custard', 'Beaver Juice', & 'The Jaffa'

The first juice I am reviewing is...'Virtual Custard'

On opening the bottle, a beautifully sweet, creamy, vanilla, wafted it's aromas from the bottle. A warm, satisfying feeling came over me. It's scents were rich, decadent and thoroughly pleasing. While trying to identify the elusive scent that left me intoxicated, and my mouth watering, the excitement grew as I knew by the aromas, this juice was going to be something special.

I drew the vapour into my mouth, immediately appeased by the wonderful flavours that made my tastebuds stand on end.
My whole being, warmed to the subtlety of the flavours. It was deliciously creamy and very intensifying. The creaminess coated every part of my mouth with a velvety smoothness, soft and soothing as it glided over my tongue, tickling the back of my palate. As the thick creaminess rested on my tongue, it filled my mouth with a sense of fulfillment. Delicate, yet powerful, and one I knew I needed to have at all times in my daily rotation. Stillness abound me, as the soft essences permeated around the room. A room filled with stillness and contentment. Slowly putting me into a state of pure bliss.

On the exhale a wave of flavour rolled slowly over my palate, and onto my awaiting lips. I sensed a certain spiciness, not unlike nutmeg but very lightly hidden, lurking in the background of this mysterious juice. I licked my lips with every exhale, knowing each time I would taste a gorgeous powdery sweetness, similar to icing sugar but not in anyway cloying or overly sweet. Just perfect in every way.
As I came back down to earth, a little voice inside my head kept telling me I had to order more, lots more............

Vape-Licious has managed to produce the perfect vape with 'Virtual Custard'. It's smoothness, and creaminess, leaves you wanting more. It has beautiful natural notes of vanilla, and all things warm and comforting. A juice which lingers on the palate for a while afterwards, and sends you into a state of nirvana, a place of perfect peace and happiness.

The flavours were perfectly balanced. There was no chemical smell, or bitter aftertaste. The vapour production for a 60PG/40VG juice was exceptional, and the throat hit for 12mg was simply perfect. A very smooth and satisfying e-liquid.
I give this juice a massive 10/10 for flavour, throat hit and vapour production. If you're looking for a high quality dessert style vape, It's one not to miss. I will be stocking up on this one once I finish my recently ordered 90ml. I would like to add that I have tried lots of custards in my two and a half years of vaping, including GVC (Grants), and this surpasses them all. They are all very nice custards, but they lack the complexity and creaminess that Vape-Licious Virtual Custard' has. An all day vape for me without being sickly or overpowering and still having all the creaminess and rich flavour without being cloying. This is one you could vape all day. This is now my all day vape.

Moving onto the second juice, 'The Jaffa'

For those of you who don't know what a 'Jaffa Cake' is or have never tried one before. (On Wikipedia it reads):-
Jaffa Cakes are a biscuit-sized cake, introduced by 'McVitie and Price', in 1927, and named after Jaffa oranges. The most common form of Jaffa Cakes are circular, 2 1⁄2 inches (64 mm) in diameter and have three layers: a Genoise sponge base, a layer of orange flavoured jelly, and a coating of chocolate. Jaffa Cakes are also available as bars, or in small packs, and in larger and smaller sizes. The original Jaffa Cakes come in packs of 12, 24 or 36. McVitie's entire line of Jaffa Cakes are produced in the United Kingdom at the McVitie's factory in Manchester/Stockport. Although Jaffa Cakes are usually orange flavour, limited edition flavours have been available, such as lemon-and-lime, strawberry and blackcurrant. (Wikipedia Exert)

On opening the bottle, a semi sweet chocolate aroma escaped from the bottle. Deep, dark and rich, similar to 'Willies Cacoa' or 'Green & Black's' range. I could pick out notes of 'Valencia orange', sun kissed, fresh, and juicy. A match made in heaven, and the scents from the bottle were sublime. Holding the bottle beneath my nose, I breathed in deeply as I inhaled the aromas. My sense of smell helped me to better the taste of all the wonderful flavours in my juice.

I have always enjoyed 'Jaffa Cakes', since I was little. They are particularly nice with a good espresso coffee, leaving both flavours to pair off nicely together. 'Jaffa Cakes' were always a favourite of mine after a meal, curled up in front of the television with a coffee in one hand and a whole box of 'Jaffa Cakes' in the other.

On my first initial inhale, a beautiful, full bodied, crisp, dark chocolate, flowed over my moist lips, rolling onto my tastebuds, settling on my palate, and melting on my tongue. Slowly and sensually, coating every inch of my mouth, with a deep creamy chocolatey sweetness. The chocolate was light, and smooth, but still prominent in taste.

On exhaling, the tangy, zestiness of the orange came through. Notes of a soft, squidgy, sponge biscuit, lay below the rich, dark chocolate, and the consistency of the juice was just right. A perfect balance and a beautiful vape.

This is a complex juice. It is sweet but not overly sweet. It's richness didn't in any way make it cloying.
It is an extremely pleasing vape, and one I will definitely order again after I finish my 30ml bottle.
There was a solid amount of vapour, that is rich and creamy. As with all of Vape-Licious e-liquids, throat hit, vapour production, and flavour are all perfect.
one I recommend, if you haven't already tried some.

The third and final juice I will be reviewing today is, 'Beaver Juice'

'Beaver Juice' is a beautiful blend of Fresh Sweet Pear, Coconut and cream.

On opening the bottle and inhaling slowly and deeply..... I could smell the aroma of sweet, natural pear. Wet, juicy and ripe. The scent reminded me of a comice pear. Very sweet, with a great fruity aroma. Well rounded and smooth. Their bright flavour and deep sweetness are the perfect match for fennel or avocado, and are just as nice blended with coconut and cream.

On the inhale, wet, oozing juicy pear flesh, balanced nicely on my palate. It was sweet, slightly tart and very fruity. The flavours were enhanced by the beautiful creamy sweet coconut. Resting nicely on my tongue, and tasting extremely moreish. Coconut, pears and cream have always been the perfect match in home cooked desserts and tarts, and the flavours Vape-Licious has used, all blend perfectly together. I've never been one for vaping pears but this is very palatable and worth trying, if you haven't already done so.

On the exhale, a deliciously creamy coconut, brushed over my lips, leaving behind a very natural aftertaste of sweet ripe pears. The pear was enhanced by the rich, sweet flavour of the coconut and cream, and lingered on my palate for a little while after.

'Beaver Juice' was very nice, and If you enjoy fresh pear vapes with coconut and cream, then this one is for you. A brilliant blend of flavours, and very well thought out.

Summary:-

All three juices were lovely. My favourite being 'Virtual Custard', followed by 'The Jaffa' which is a very moreish vape, and last but not least, 'Beaver Juice'.
Brilliantly mastered, very complex and carefully thought out.
Vapour production for a 60PG/40VG was exceptionally good, Throat hit was perfect for 12mg, which is my chosen and preferred nicotine strength and flavour was outstanding.
Vape-Licious has certainly done the vaping community proud. Good Work Stevo!

Juice Review 09/10/2013
'Ben & Son'.

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 0.7hm sub ohms, on my paps X, with a fresh battery at 4.2volts
The juice I am reviewing is 36mg 70pg/30vg and this was my chosen nicotine strength from Paul.

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 rich nutty aroma filled the air. The only way to describe it is, It almost smelled like a freshly opened pack of cigarettes. The scent was rich and robust, with slight nuances of hazelnuts and vanilla, and at the sametime, a smooth creamy aroma, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tobaccos bouquet.

On the inhale, a rich, nutty tobacco flavour coated my palate. There was a slight touch of sweetness, not too much, with light smokey undertones. The flavour was smooth without being too harsh, giving the juice that more pronounced feeling at the back of the throat, making it a well balanced tobacco vape.

On the exhale, the liquid had a noticeable cigarette character, with real tobacco, quite smokey, but not with that dirty base or full ashtray flavour. It was clean and fresh on the palate, with slight nutty features to suggest a good deep tobacco flavour. This wasn't the closest I'd had to a real cigarette, but for a tobacco flavour, it was very appealing to the tastebuds. There are no e-liquids out there, that will remotely give off the same taste as a real cigarette, but a lot of the flavours I've tried have came pretty close. This tobacco didn't leave any lingering aftertaste on the palate. It was the perfect combination of flavours, to give you that perfect vape. Very appealing to you if you're looking for a decent tobacco flavour.

Summary:-
This tobacco flavour was very impressive. I thought the taste was very consistent, and not as heavy, overpowering and rich, as some of the other tobacco flavours I've tried in the past. The tobacco was robust, yet mellow, and at the same time very smooth on the inhale. It had nutty undertones, which brought out the flavour of the tobacco, making it a very pleasant vape. It wasn't dry, with any bitterness or acidic aftertaste. It was an all round decent vape. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I would consider it as an all day vape.

The vapour production was excellent for a 70pg/30vg juice and produced clouds and clouds of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 36mg strength.  The flavour was outstanding  and this e-liquid is one I will most definitely be buying again. I recommend you try this one. You'll be pleased you did. It's a very moreish flavour.

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

Juice Review 06/10/2013
'Parma Violet'

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, the strong scent of violets, floral and sweet smelling.
I don't usually like vapes which have floral aromas and taste flowery, and was a little bit sceptical about trying this one. It smelled very perfumey, and my first impressions of this liquid were somewhat questionable.

On the inhale, after leaving it for a few days to steep, I went back to it, and Oh My!, the bouquet of flavours were beautiful. It brought back memories of the classic sweet, 'Parma Violets' I bought as a child. The flavour was soft and chalky on the back of the throat, just like eating the sweets. It was powdery and sweet, and a flavour I will put on my next shopping list with ecigarette depot. A true classic at it's best. So sassy and alive. It definitely brightens up a dull day and revives your palate no end.
I couldn't ever imagine, one day I'd be vaping one of the sweets I used to love eating, and Paul has a whole array of sweetie flavours and they are all true to the real sweets. How he does it, is simply amazing. Ecigarette Depot is better than a sweetie shop, and much better for you.

On the exhale, the flavours gently caressed my palate, covering every inch of my mouth with a velvety, lilac taste. Moreish and relaxing. Sitting day dreaming, vaping true Parma Violets and thinking of nothing but sunshine and flowers. It was true bliss. If you want a heavenly vape, try this, you won't be disappointed.

Summary:-
This was the perfect vape. I could find no fault with this one at all. Leave it for a few days to steep and the flavours will blow you away. It was true to the real sweet and one I will definitely be buying again. I wouldn't say it is an all day vape, but if you like Parma Violets then give this one a try. It is lovely and pleasant, if you want a relaxing vape, or simply something sweet.

Vapour production was really good for a 70pg/30vg juice and produced clouds of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 36mg.  The flavour was exceptionally nice, and I really enjoyed this one.

If you would like to try any of Paul's juices,

'Dragon Fruit', Created By James and Jade, who own http://www.vapertrain.com/

Juice Review 07/10/2013
'Dragon Fruit'.

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 1.8ohm, on my Provari, set at 4.3 volts.
The juices I am reviewing is 24mg 50pg/50vg.

Summary on Vaper Trains website reads:-
'Dragon Fruit'  also known as 'Pitaya' which is the fruit of several Cactus species.
The flavour of Dragon Fruit is like a melon or kiwi, with a mild sweetness to it.

On opening the bottle, the beautiful aroma of pear juice. There were hints of honeydew and cantaloupe melon. Bold and prominent aromas with a pear drop undertone.
Dragon Fruit is a type of cactus, and tastes similar to pears and kiwi's, as James mentioned above, although you can sometimes taste other types of fruits too. They are very good for you and have all the vitamins you need to keep your body healthy. The aroma awakened my senses, and revived my inner being, making this juice refreshing and flavoursome.

On the inhale, I could taste, mango, passion fruit and pear drops. This was a very uplifting vape. There were undertones of sweet melons and acidic kiwi fruits, and the flavour of the liquid was very palatable. Sweet but not overly sweet and just the right amount of tartness to give the juice a perfect edge, whilst making it the perfect vape. This was a wonderful flavour and one I really enjoyed. Each flavour combined perfectly together, and to me it was a flavour which is very unique in taste and texture, and made this one a winner.

On the exhale, a fresh, flavoursome fruity taste, of pear, and kiwi, coated my palate and made my lips pucker. There were slight undertones of pineapple. I could taste a different flavour sensation with each vape. The juice was very palatable. There was no bitter or acidic aftertaste, and the flavour lingered on my palate for a little while afterwards.

Summary:)
'Dragon Fruit' was one stunning flavour. It actually caught me by surprise just how nice it really was. My first thought on opening the bottle, was thinking how close it was to Pineapple chewits or pear drops as the aroma alone was beautiful. It smelled fresh and clean with lovely little subtle hints of other refreshing fruits. I give this juice 10/10. It tasted of pure fruit juice, and the Dragon Fruit is also very pleasant chilled, or added to other flavours or simply vaped by itself. Another juice made by James which is on my wish list for next time.
If you haven't tried this flavour, I would recommend you do. If you like refreshing fruity vapes, you'll love this.

I've never had many bad juices that I haven't liked. I enjoy a large percentage of them, and some I favour more than others. My tastebuds are quite palatable when it comes to reviewing flavours, and I've come to realise that most juices are spot on with their flavours, but taste is subjective in each individual, and I enjoy an array of flavours. There has only been two juices since I started vaping which I can say I haven't liked at all, and if a juice is good, I'll say it's good. and if it's not one for me, then I'll say so, but it doesn't mean you won't enjoy it, as you might get a totally different flavour on your palate, than I do on mine. Try this juice, you can't go wrong. I think it has a beautiful flavour and I'm sure you will all agree with me on that one.

 Vapour production was excellent for a 50pg/50vg juice and produced plumes of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 24mg.  The flavour was outstanding  and this e-liquid is one I will most definitely be buying again. This is a juice I could quite happily vape all day.

'New Dawn' Created By 'Vape Munki E-Liquids'

'New Dawn' Created By 'Vape Munki E-Liquids'

Juice Review 06/10/2013
'New Dawn'

This is a written review of 'New Dawn' 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 to. There are a total of twenty two juices, to choose from, and VapeMunki has told me that more new flavours are being added to the website soon, as his munki's are working very hard to get them finished.

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 set at 8 watts.
All bottles are beautifully labelled and easily read, and come with tactile warnings and child proof safety caps.

NEW DAWN SUMMARY:-
Designed for that morning after feeling. This heady mix of five different gourmet tobacco flavours, will reach through any next day blues, whilst a shot of coffee flavour will focus the mind, getting you ready to face the day the right way.

On opening the bottle, an amazing aroma of a bold tobacco's with hints of liquorice and coffee. This juice is very complex and there is so much more going on in there. I could smell hints of maple and vanilla with a touch of whisky or cognac. There were underlying aromas of butter rum and vanilla creams. This was very intriguing.

On the inhale, an earthy tobacco with subtle hints of Kent, The Moors, Gold Ducat, maybe a sweet virginia or 7 leaves. The flavours were astounding. The complexity of this e-liquid, left me guessing as to whether I was right or not. Every little detail in this juice was masterminded by the munki's themselves, and only they know the secret ingredients. It was warming, and inviting and simply delicious. Once you pick it up, you just can't put it back down. It had everything a good tobacco flavour should have. There was an earthiness and a deep, bold nuance going on in this juice. I sat for ages just smelling the aromas and testing the juice, before taking my first inhale,  but to no avail. I couldn't detect the flavours that had gone into making this. It had strong characteristics of a pipe tobacco, and this was lush, for a better way of putting it. Every flavour blended exceptionally well together, and whatever the munki's have created, is one with great detail, skill and imagination. This is one I will be buying a 100ml bottle of when they become available.

On the exhale, the subtle flavours of the tobaccos, intermingling with one another. Lazily lying on my palate, with not a care in the world. This was a very relaxing, warming vape. The intensity of 'New Dawn' left everything to the imagination. It is one that will keep you guessing, and take you on a dreamy voyage to the Tolkien Gateway the mysterious land of the hobbits. If you shrink to 3 feet 6 inches, with short legs, slightly pointed ears, and furry feet with leathery soles, resulting in mostly never wearing shoes, then VapeMunki's job is done.


Summary:- A wonderful flavoured juice, full of mystery and excitement. A tobacco vape, like no other ever tried before. Taking you on a magical journey. Will you ever make it back from middle earth. Try some today and find out for yourself, you certainly won't be disappointed, but you may be blown away.

The throat hit was perfect for a 24mg juice, there was no harshness at all, and the vapour production was extremely good, for a 40/60, pg/vg blend. There was clouds of vapour. This is most definitely another E-liquid, I would happily vape all day.

Another brilliant E-liquid from VapeMunki E-Liquids.

If you would like to place an order, visit VapeMunki E-Liquids here :- http://www.vapemunki.co.uk/ They are stocking 10ml and 30ml on some of their juices and when they get their shipment in there will be 50ml and 100ml bottles available, allowing you to stock up on all of your favourite Munki Flavours.

www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

Juice Reviews:- Mental Lemon, Blasberry, Strawberry Ice-Cream, Creme Moulee, Blasberry Menthol, Dreamy Blue, Ice Queen.

Today I am having a chat with Loretta. She is a member of our ever growing, vaping community, and is a member of 'The Toot Suite' facebook group. I got to know Lou very well, and overtime, a good friendship was formed. Since I do written reviews for the vaping community, she asked me if I would be willing to sample her line of e-liquids, and give her my thoughts on her e-liquid creations. She is now producing her own fabulous range, to members of the public and Loulabellesliquids are opening it's doors and going live on Wednesday 9th of October 2013. She has been a keen enthusiast of DIY Juice making for some time now, and her sampled juice range has been tried and tested by many of us, who I might add, have all loved the flavours that she produces. Recently she decided to start up on her own, and open her very own website solely dealing in her gourmet juices. She has full, continued support by her partner Paul, who gives his full support and helps every way he can.

On Loullabelles website she has all the necessary information on steeping your liquids etc, and has also added a link to a petition she would like everyone to take the time to sign, to help save our ecigs.
In Lou's own words she says " Please sign this petition and put a stop to the government making the classification of e-liquids containing nicotine, as a medicine, as defined by the MHRA.

The website will be going live to the public on Wednesday, giving Lou just enough time to stock up and prepare everything for her grand opening. She has told me, the orders are coming in at the moment.

In Lou's own words:-
Hi my name is Loretta (aka Loulabelle),
Thank you for visiting my site, and taking an interest in my E-liquids.
I take great pride in every E-liquid. I make all my own e-liquid recipes, and they are a standard mix of 60VG/40PG. I feel this is the best mixture for both flavour and vapour. Some of the ingredients in my liquids may crack polycarbonate tanks.
All liquids are made as fresh as they can be and will arrive to you with a D.O.B (they may even be made on the same day you order) I advise that you allow 7 days for liquids to steep, this way you will get the best results from your liquid. I would like to have given your order a presteep and will try to make my stock in advance, so you can get the best flavour out of your juice. I have copied some steeping information below from the alchemists cupboard that may be of use to you.
I aim to have my orders dispatched within 1-3 working days as i make all of my liquids in the evening, due to family commitments. I hope you enjoy browsing my store. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need my help with anything.
Cheers...

STRAWBERRY ICE-CREAM.
This is a very smooth, cold and creamy, rich strawberry ice-cream. Your palate will feel revived after this delicious dessert.

On Loulabellesliquids there will be the choice of nicotine strength. Loretta told me she will offer.....12mg, 16mg and 24mg with the option to have zero nic strength if required. If she has any requests for other nicotine strengths she would be more than willing to meet your needs. Just leave a comment at checkout and she will do her best to meet your requirements. Loretta informed me she will only be doing 10ml bottles to start with and the website will have the option later on to choose either 10ml, 30ml or 50ml bottles. If the e-liquids are popular, and people ordering would rather have larger bottles she will add them to the website.
On placing your order, you will receive a detailed letter, giving you all the necessary information you need to know regarding steeping your e-liquids. You will also have a detailed invoice and a business card, which I think is a very nice touch.

More new flavours are being worked on at the moment, and will be getting added to the website as they are created. One of her newest flavours being added to loulabellesliquids will be Strawberry laces. I'm looking forward to trying that one.

Loretta has worked very hard, to get her business off to a flying start. She has dedicated herself to her business, and is very proud of her wonderful new juice creations. As a vaping community, new and old, Loretta would be grateful for everyone's moral support, and in return, she has delivered some wonderful new flavours for all of us to try. Her flavours are new recipes, waiting to be tried by many, and I have seven new ones here to sample, as Loretta kindly gave them to me, for the purpose of review.



Review Section 04/10/2013

All bottles are beautifully labelled and easily read. These are sample bottles for review purposes only. Loretta has assured me when all orders go out, they will have all the necessary tactile warnings etc. All E-liquids are 60VG/40PG and 24mg, which was my chosen nicotine strength.
I am using my dripper at 1.8ohm, on my Provari, set at 4.2 volts and I will be using this setup throughout my review.

First up we have:-
'Ice Queen', Created By Loulabelle, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on website:-
An ice cold minty liquid collected from the veins of the Ice Queen herself. Do you dare try the blood of the Ice Queen and be frozen in all eternity?
Don't mess with The Ice Queen's offspring 'Jack Frost' or you shall feel the full wrath of her coldness......

On opening the bottle, the most fragrant aroma of fresh spearmint. Cool and refreshing and one of my favourite flavours.  I am quite partial to a nice minty vape. The scent from the bottle was vibrant and mouthwatering, I couldn't wait to try this one. Its aroma had hints of peppermint and a mixed mint, but the spearmint was one of the more prominent of the mints.

On the inhale, a peppermint chill, softly chilling the back of my throat, with a nice minty coating on my tastebuds. The flavours combined perfectly together, giving this flavour a nice balance. I could taste a light menthol or maybe a drop of Koolada on my palate, giving this juice a nice chill factor.

On the exhale, Lush chilling spearmint, not unlike the spearmint chewing gum you can buy with the famous name. My lips were cool with the  peppermint, softly flowing over my palate, a frosty chill of spearmint making this juice extremely creamy and very moreish.

Summary:-, This is a lovely e-liquid. It's sweet , but not overly sweet, it leaves a lingering minty aftertaste, which is very clean and refreshing, and has no acidic taste or underlying bitterness. It was very pleasant. I enjoyed this one.
Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice, and produced plumes of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 24mg.  The flavour was lovely  and this e-liquid is one I could happily vape all day.

Second Review:-
'Creme Moulee', Created By Loretta, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on website:-
This is a very strong delicious flavour. It is smooth and creamy. Don't be shy give the vanilla custard a try.

I actually received this juice in my chosen mg of 36, and it tasted far too strong for a light, mellow, custard vape. The high strength nicotine didn't do the juice any favour, but that was my own fault, as I asked for that strength. Loulabelle was very helpful and kind, she sent me another one in 24mg. I held off until the 'Creme Mulee' arrived, and I continued with the review.

 On opening the bottle, a creamy vanilla aroma fanned from the bottle. It was quite rich, and very warming. Lush creamy vanilla, with a prominent scent. Not as strong as the other custard vapes I've had, but creme brulees are much smoother and lighter, and not as pronounced in flavour as your typical custards are. This was much better in the lower nicotine strength.

On the inhale, a sweet, mellow taste of vanilla custard, coated my tastebuds. It was a nice creamy texture, and very light on the palate. Very smooth and enough throathit for this type of vape.
'Creme Brulee', is also known as burnt cream, amongst other names. It is a dessert, consisting of a rich custard base, topped with a contrasting layer of hard burnt caramel.

On the exhale, again, quite simply, a soft creamy vanilla custard flavour, very faint and very similar to a mild vanilla custard. The flavour was soft, sweet and moreish. If you like your custard flavours very light and mellow, then this one might be for you.

Summary:-  The e-liquid was a nice mellow flavour, with a rich creamy texture, but as I say to everyone, taste is very subjective, and what I may not enjoy, others may love. No bitter after taste, and no acidity to this juice.

Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice and produced great vapour, the throat hit was smooth, for it being 24mg.  The flavour was nice, and it is one I would vape inbetween other flavours, as it's quite a sweet vape. I would more than likely say, it would be nicer after a meal, or when you wanted something sweet. This one wasn't for me but if you like your sweet vapes then you might like this.

Third Review:-
'Blasberry', Created By Loretta, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on website:-
This is a blackcurrant and raspberry mix e-liquid. If you like a good strong refreshing flavour, then this is the one for you. These two fruits are wonderfully delicious together. This is also 'Blasberry Menthol', very tasty with and added menthol kick.

On opening the bottle, a beautiful fruity aroma fanned the air. There were pronounced aromas of fresh, ripe berries, and smelled very refreshing.

On the inhale, the flavour was fruity, and I could taste juicy blackcurrants, and raspberries. Being able to pick each flavour separately was great, as it gave you a different taste with each inhale. Fresh fruits of the forest, not the fake fruit flavours, you get with some of the fruit flavours, but fresh juicy fruits which have just been picked.

On the exhale, the berries were very flavoursome and ripe. I could taste many flavours in there but the most prominent ones were the blackcurrant and the raspberries.

Summary:-, I really enjoyed this one, as it was packed full of fresh, fruity flavour. The flavours blended perfectly together. There were no bitterness, and no acidic aftertaste.

Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice and produced plumes of vapour. The throathit was perfect with it being a 24mg juice.  This is one you could vape all day. If you like forest fruits, this one is for you.

Fourth Review:-
'Strawberry Ice Cream', Created By Loretta, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on website:-
This is a very smooth, cold and creamy, rich strawberry ice-cream. Your palate will feel revived after this delicious dessert.

On opening the bottle, a beautiful fresh, juicy, sweet strawberry aroma wafted in front of my nose. This was similar to wild strawberries, and the scent was very nice. Strawberry vapes for me, have always been a flavour I have never really got on with. I love fresh strawberries in small quantities, and I tend to go for other flavours before I would choose strawberry. This on the other hand smelled quite fragrant, and my first thoughts were, I wasn't going to like it.

On the inhale, a smooth strawberry flavour, with hints of cream and vanilla. It was light and creamy, and very pleasurable on the palate. I was actually surprised that I liked this one, as I thought the first inhale would have been enough, but it was rather nice and the flavour was one I quite enjoyed.

On the exhale, a silky smooth strawberry cream, coated my tastebuds. It didn't linger on the palate for long afterwards, but It was a pleasant vape.

Summary:- All in all, a very nice refreshing vape. I really enjoyed this one. It was sweet, but not overly sweet. It left no bitter aftertaste and no acidity on the palate.

Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice, and produced plumes of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 24mg.  The flavour was nice but one I couldn't vape all day. The dessert vapes are all inbetween flavour vapes for me as I prefer something not so sweet for my all day vape, but it would be nice if you fancied something sweet.

Fifth Review:-
'Dreamy Blue', Created By Loretta, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on Website:-
A dreamy creamy blueberry liquid that will leave you yearning for more.......

On opening the bottle, the aroma of berries. I'd say it was more of a candy type of berry. Not unlike blueberry, but with some other underlying flavour. It smelled quite floral and fruity, but it was difficult to tell, by just scent alone..

On the inhale, a very subtle taste of blueberry. It was sweet but not overly sweet, and very light in flavour.  It wasn't dry in any way and left no after taste in my mouth. I enjoyed this one. It tasted of blueberry candy with lashings of sweet cream. Sweet but not overly sweet and a nice relaxing vape.

On the exhale, the flavours changed. What I thought was all blueberry, was infact blueberry with an underlying taste of what might be raspberry. A lovely soft, gentle raspberry coated my palate. The flavours were blended perfectly and were quite subtle on the exhale. Very placid and very moreish. I really liked this one.

Summary:- This flavour was creamy and sweet, and one I wouldn't mind vaping all day. It didn't leave a bitter aftertaste, and the tart raspberry blended perfectly with the sweetness of the blueberry candy.

Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice and produced plumes of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 24mg.  The flavour was outstanding  and this e-liquid is one I will most definitely be vaping all day.

Sixth Review:-
'Blasberry Menthol', Created By Loretta, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on website
This is BLASBERRY in MENTHOL if you enjoyed Blasberry and like menthol this is the one for you. These two fruits are wonderfully delicious together and the menthol just makes it a little bit more special.

On opening the bottle, the aroma of what I had experienced in the 'Blasberry' but with added menthol kick. Very fruity, and this time with a nice cool menthol scent.

On the inhale, bright and refreshing summer berries, with a nice cooling effect. It brought out the flavours in the juice making it a little more enjoyable I'm a menthol fanatic, and If all my flavours had menthol, I'd be more than happy. I've seen myself adding menthol or Koolada to my fruit vapes, making them more pronounced in flavour. Blackcurrant, and raspberries, both flavourful, with none taking prevelence over the other. It reminded of eating my favourite ice lolly. Fruity, with that icy cold feeling. It was a lovely chilling vape.

On the exhale, the coolness covered my palate, and left a frosty coldness on my lips. Then came all the fruits, one after the other, feeling and tasting the flavours, with a hint of mintiness flowing over my tastebuds. This was beautiful. It had so many enjoyable flavours, it took 'Blasberry' to a new dimension.

Summary:- If you like fresh, fruity vapes with a menthol kick, you're going to adore this one. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice and produced plumes of vapour, the throat hit was perfect with it being 24mg.  The flavour was outstanding  and this e-liquid is one I will most definitely be vaping all day.

Seventh Review:-
'Mental Lemon', Created By Loretta, who owns www.loulabellesliquids.co.uk

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

Summary on website:-
Lemon and honey, traditionally used as a medicine for coughs and colds, and also as a herbal medicine for joint pains and many other ailments. This is my mental cure for your lemon withdrawal, with a kick of menthol, to help awaken your taste buds.

On opening the bottle, a fresh, zesty lemon aroma, gently rose from the bottle. Sweet, refreshing and very mouth watering. Lemon is one of my favourite flavours. They are bright, clean and citrusy and make great palate cleansers.

On the inhale, a bitter sweet taste of citrus lemon, tart, yet sweet, drawing my cheeks together with a flavour similar to a lemon curd. It was a creamy lemon flavour and tasted quite strong but pleasant as I enjoy bold flavours.

On the exhale, the sharpness of the lemon, coated my palate, making me salivate as the juices covered the whole of my mouth. This tasted tangy and sharp with a slight natural sweetness, and an underlying flavour of sweet, soothing honey. Trickling on the back of my throat, smoothly caressing my palate, and then the crisp, clean lemon folding together with the honey made this an amazing soother for when you have a cold or sore throat.

Summary:- A culinary and non culinary delight. This flavour was quite nice. It's one I couldn't vape all day, but it would be nice after a meal, or as a change from other flavours. If you like creamy citrus vapes, this one could be for you.

Vapour production was excellent for a 60VG/40PG juice and produced plenty of vapour, the throat hit was a little smooth, for it being 24mg.  All in all it was a nice vape and I found it to be very palatable

Review coming soon........Strawberry Laces.

Steeping:-
Guide to Steeping - The Why & How
A question often asked is “What is steeping?”, closely followed by “How long should I steep a Liquid”?
Essentially steeping (in the context that we are interested in, i.e. for e-liquids), is a process, or number of process, used to blend, age and mature an e-liquid, to the point where the best flavour can be obtained from vaping it.
Steeping can be observed in the manufacture of lots of things, for example, alcohol and the food industry. Anyone that’s made a Christmas pudding will know about allowing it time to mature and develop, or soaking the fruit in an alcohol overnight (steeping).
Steeping will provide the best possible flavour from our e-juice by rounding out any harsh flavours, blending multiple flavours together, developing, maturing or ageing flavours. Flavorings need to completely diffuse into the types of base liquids we use, these need time to bond molecularly with any single or combination of base liquids used in a mix (Nic base, PG, VG, etc).
In addition, air is required to interact with the liquid, this causes oxidation, replenishing the air in the bottle will help oxidation and in turn quicken steeping, leaving the cap off helps (but make sure it is in a safe position).
As a juice steeps it will normally darken, this can be an indication to when a liquid has matured (molecular interaction with nicotine causes this - I have noticed the higher nicotine content, the quicker a juice will mature and darker the liquid will become).
Steeping methods that have been tried and tested and proved (if not always scientifically) vary and some are listed below.
Steeping will nearly always improve a e-liquid, I don’t know of any that have worsened.
Various methods used to steep e-liquids

Time.
The first and most traditional method of steeping is “Time”. Leaving the top off the bottle (allowing air to get to it) will steep and improve a juice by itself, this is usually done by placing the opened bottle in a warm dark place for anything from a day or two up to a week, occasionally giving the bottle a squeeze to expel the air in it and replenish it with fresh air. Benefits are naturally steeped and matured juice, disadvantage, the length of time it takes.
Steeping however, in particular the time element, can be reduced by also employing a number of additional methods.

Agitation.
Vigourous shaking, stirring, etc will help, allow time for the air bubbles to rise to the surface and then repeat again (as many times as you can/want).

Water Bath Heating.
Putting the bottle of juice in a warm (not hot) water bath will shorten the time it takes to mature a juice, it firstly thins the liquid and allows interchange and fusion at a molecular level. However, Heat is an enemy of Nicotine, it will degrade the Nic content if too hot. Warm not Hot water is advised.

Microwave.
Another method of heating is a microwave. This acts like above, but also has another action thought to do with increased molecular particle fusion when juice is blasted with microwaves. Once again, Heat is an enemy of Nicotine, so use in short 1 sec bursts to get it warm, not hot. Oh, and take the cap off first.
Using any (or a combination) of the above methods and then allowing time in a warm dark place, will improve any e-liquid considerably.
Other agitation methods have been employed successfully, including placing bottles in a rotating polisher (for polishing gem stones etc), using a vibrating electrical orbital sander, one report of a person wrapping a bottle in cloth and putting it inside the hubcap of his car for the duration of his daily travel.

Ultrasonics.
This method combines Vibration from ultrasonic frequency or pulses of energy, with or without a warm water bath, reports have been very encouraging when using this method, some say reducing 2 weeks of steeping time to a single day.
Chemical additions. There are new developments all the time, and I am sure that development on this is ongoing, however at this time no successfully reported methods have been noted and anyway, I am not a lover of adding chemicals.
So I can see the next question is going to be…..

How long do I let a juice steep?
The Answer is “As long as it takes”. No two juices are the same, or will taste the same to you or me…. I would suggest the only person that can answer that is you…. It may be as little as a day or two. But, you will have to experiment, one thing is definite, given time to mature and using some of the methods above, they will improve from the first opening of a bottle..
This is a recommendation for all shop purchased e-liquids not just ours, all will improve with some steeping, manufactures usually bottle as soon as a juice is made, this halts the steeping process to a degree, employing the "cap off and dark warm place method", will improve 99.9% of juices.
I am sure that many users do not obtain the full potential from purchased juices because they do not allow adequate time for it to mature and reach its optimum flavour.
Employing some of the above methods will hopefully reduce the “wait time”, and give you more pleasure from your chosen juice.

Loulabelle's Liquids are not to be used by persons under the age of 18, pregnant or breast-feeding women or persons in ill health. E-liquids contain nicotine, which is an addictive drug which should be used wisely and not as a smoking cessation aid.
