Smuthen Review

It's safe to say that fruit vapes are my thing. The majority of my favorite juices are fruity flavours and they are the flavour profile I vape most often. Since I have tried so many it takes a lot to blow me away when it comes to a fruit juice.

Smuthen is a line of juices made by Adrenochrome labs out of one of my favorite citys in Canada Victoria, British Columbia. I had been wanting to try this line for quite a while but none of the shops in Regina carry it. When we were in Edmonton a few weeks ago I stopped by Digital Imports and was able to finally get my hands on a couple of bottles.

I was instantly blown away by these two fruit smoothie flavours. The mixture of fruits and yogurts in this line are done perfectly and create a surprisingly refreshing summer time vape.

Original


Original Smuthen is a mixture of Orange, Strawberry, and Banana flavours mixed with yogurt. Vaping this juice reminds me of a smoothie you would get from Orange Julius and it is outstanding.

I get mostly the Orange on the inhale and mostly the Banana on the exhale with this one and a light strawberry taste present in both. I had to be careful not to vape the entire bottle of the Original before I had a chance to write this review as it is very addictive.

All of the Smuthen juices are a Max VG blend that produce big clouds and amazing flavours. The smell of the Original is just like smelling a freshly peeled orange which is very pleasant.

10/10

Apps


Apps is an apple, peach, and pear smoothie that is just as good or better than the Original flavour. I get mostly the pear and apple on the inhale and a lot of peach on the exhale.

I can't really say which of these two juices I prefer as it just depends which one I am in the mood for. I love the peach exhale in Apps and the smell I find to be mostly peach as well.

Adrenochrome labs knocked it out of the park in my opinion with both of these flavours!

Battle of the vanilla cakes

I have always enjoyed vanilla flavoured things, I will take a vanilla milkshake over chocolate or strawberry every time. It's for that reason I was excited to try two vanilla cake juices and see which one I preferred.

Nilla Cake is made by Elysian Labs out of California and Angel is a collaboration of several juice makers out of Alberta Canada including T Daawg Labs.


Nilla Cake


Nilla Cake was recommended to me by Harley at Electric Fog in Regina as it was/is his all day vape. My initial impressions of it was that it is a nice and sweet piece of vanilla cake but that both the vanilla flavour and the cake flavour in the juice are very light. I enjoy the way this juice tastes but it needs a little more of everything.

The recoil RDA I have gives me incredible flavour from whatever liquid I put in it and this was no different. I enjoy this juice quite a bit I just wish the vanilla packed a little more punch and the cake was a little sweeter.

This is a 70VG/30PG blend and the cloud production you will get off of it is good. I know of a couple of people besides Harley that love this juice and you might too. I wouldn't say I loved it but I did like it a lot.

7.5/10

Angel


The first time I had heard of Angel was right after CVE in Toronto(I wasn't there sadly) after it won the best in show award. After trying Nilla Cake I wanted to see how Angel would compare and if it had the stronger flavour I was looking for.

Angel is actually described as an angel food cake topped with vanilla icing so the two juices are a little different from one another. That being said Angel tastes very similar to Nilla Cake if Nilla Cake was on steroids.

This juice tastes exactly like a piece of angel food cake with the much stronger vanilla icing taste I was hoping for. The cake flavour has the perfect amount of sweetness to it as well.

There is not a VG/PG ratio listed on the box or the bottle that I could see but I'm guessing it is a max VG juice. The vapor production is good and the taste is great. Angel would be my choice as an all day vape whenever I am in the mood for cake.

Nola by Lane Cove Vapor Review

I have always been a big fan of desserts and one of my favorites is the Pavlova that my sister makes. Vicki was shown how to make it by her husband Will's mother as Will comes from a family with New Zealand roots.

I'm not sure if the Pavlova originates from Australia or New Zealand but who ever came up with the idea for this dessert thank you!

Ruby Roo is an extremely popular YouTube personality and vape reviewer, she is also the creator of the Australian inspired line of juices Lane Cove Vapor. My favorite from this line is Nola which if you have not guessed by now is a Pavlova flavour.

I first tried Nola when Mike from www.queencityvapes.ca brought it in to his shop. I picked up a 30ml bottle and finished it in a day. I started ordering a couple of 100ml bottles at a time after that.

Nola


Nola is described as a Pavlova meringue topped with whipped cream, strawberries, kiwi, and passionfruit.

This juice starts out with the sweet and creamy meringue on the inhale and finishes with the fruity flavours on the exhale. The blend of fruits is done perfectly with in my opinion the kiwi being the strongest and most noticeable flavour.

Nola is a max VG blend which produces big clouds and still allows you to enjoy all the flavours present in this juice. This juice is a bit on the lighter side, I would even describe it as subtle which is not what I normally am in to but it works for me. The Pavlova is a light dessert and Lane Cove Vapor did a fantastic job of recreating that with Nola.

I also don't think they used much in terms of sweeteners because this juice is very easy on your coils. If you vape using a tank you can expect your coil heads to last for a very long time. Just a bit of an added bonus. Over all I love this juice and it is an all day vape for me. Great Job on this one  Ruby Roo!

Batch by Candy King Review

My first week back at work after my holidays was surprisingly good. I spent the week in the dispatch office and got to avoid the heat. In July and August I will take working in the converted broom closet of an office over sweating it out on a bus any time.

I have been vaping several new juices this week that I picked up while I was on vacation. First off I will be reviewing Batch from the Candy King line of juices by the California company Dripmore.

Batch


Batch is a flavour that is nearly identical to one of my favorite candies sour patch kids. It mixes sourness with a very sweet sugary candy taste and it is fantastic.

I was a little worried about buying a 100ml bottle especially a candy flavour since I switch juices so often from day to day and hour to hour but this bottle did not last long. The mixture of sour, sweet, and fruity had me hooked right away to the point where I have already picked up another bottle.

On Sunday nights during the Walking Dead season my wife and I often pick up snacks and watch the show together. Sour patch kids is one of my go to snacks during those nights and I often enjoy the candies more than the show( at least the past two seasons I have) I think I will be able to replace those candies with this juice on Sunday nights from now on and I am pretty sure I will enjoy the vape more than the show.

Anyway, since this isn't a blog about how boring the Walking Dead has become and is a vape blog I will get back on point. The labeling of this product has been a topic of discussion for some people who see it as appealing to kids or child friendly. From what I understand Dripmore has listened to these concerns and is in the process of changing the labels on the Candy King line of juices.

Batch is a 70VG/30PG blend which produces good clouds and great flavour. This is the best candy flavour I have tried so far, if you are a fan of sour patch kids or of candy flavoured vapes you need to try this one!
