REVIEWS
Austrian company Von Erl have
developed a new cartridge based vaping
system that I think would work nicely at
introducing people to vaping as well as
helping people to get off of cigarettes.
The device i'm testing today is the Von
Erl MY. It's a cigalike that's small and
sleek enough to fit most peoples needs.
It's made predominantly of plastic so
I would question the longevity of the
device, it also feels quite flimsy so I'd
definitely be careful with it.
It's a very simple device, no buttons,
no screens, just the device. It has a
charging port on the bottom that works
with mini usb, and a port at the top, for
cartridges. As for the cartridges they
come pre-filled and just slot straight in,
when they're finished you simply throw
them away.
To vape on this device you simply
inhale, there's no firing button, just a
light that turns green to let you know
you're vaping. It's a really simple and
Zombie Squash
Zombie Squash is a range of affordable,
yet high quality E-liquids, developed
and manufactured by UK juice company
Z-Squad. Z-Squad create all of their
juices using high quality flavourings and
nicotine within a clean room, and each
batch is numbered with an expiry date to
ensure that each juice meets their high
standards. I'm reviewing their Zombie
Squash collection, a range of four
E-liquids, all with strong, unique flavours.
Monkey Puff
Monkey Puff is a fruity concoction,
combining berries and apples with loads
of different tropical fruits. There's a lot
going on in this juice and it's hard to
pick out the individual flavours but the
overall taste is a nice and sweet cocktail.
I personally just wish each of the fruit
flavours were distinct and blended a
little better.
easy device to use and I think it would be
perfect for absolute beginners to vaping
but beyond that you probably want to
look for something more advanced.
An issue I found is that you often have
to inhale really hard to get it to register
you're trying to vape. I often found myself
with a bit of a headache as I'm used to
the amount of airflow found on sub ohm
tanks and drippers.
The main downside here is that you are
limited to only using the Von Erl E-liquid
cartridges and I personally wasn't a huge
fan of the flavours I received.
Ginseng Ginger
Probably the nicest flavour I tried, just a nice
subtle ginger flavour. Not alot else going on
here but pleasant enough to vape.
Cherry
Quite nice and fruity but nothing
compared to the fruit flavours you could
vape with a device not locked to Von
Erl's cartridges. To sum up this is a good
device for beginners and I think the idea
of cartridges is a good one. If Von Erl can
improve their flavours and build quality I
think the Von Erl MY would be one of the
top starter kits on the market.
As it stands however it's a decent kit
but I only reccomend it to the absolute
newbies, trying to get off of smoking and
in to the world of vaping. You probably
won't find an easier to use device on the
market. 3/5
Tobacco
Standard tobacco flavour, not bad but
unfortunately 18mg strength that made
me feel quite sick.
Menthol Tobacco
Again not a bad flavour but high strength
so I struggled with it.
Hellbender
Hellbender is another juice with a lot
of different flavours contributing to the
overall vape. It's an ultra cooling blend
of strong menthol, with liquorice and
aniseed as well as a subtle fruit flavour.
I think Hellbender might be a bit too
much for a lot of people's tastes but I
enjoyed it quite a bit. It's definitely a
refreshing pallette cleanser, really good
at eliminating vaper's tongue.
Shaven Haven
This juice is a little simpler, it's basically
a strawberry custard vape at heart.
The strawberry flavour is decent, more
sugary than most and a little artificial
tasting but a good partner for the creamy
custard. It's worth mentioning how
smooth this E-liquid is, even with it's
60/40 VG/PG ratio it's very easy to vape.
The custard flavour is very pleasant,
just the right amount of sweetness and
creaminess. Overall a very vapeable
juice that I'd like to try again.
the room to see what landed in the
mixer. There is so much going on in
Rick's Mix it's hard to pick out individual
flavours but there's fruit, there's menthol,
there's hints of aniseed and other
spices, it's slightly creamy, it's sweet, it's
sour, it's everything. More importantly
it tastes really nice, I'm not sure you'll
find anything else like Rick's Mix on the
market so on that merit alone, you have
to try it. 4/5
Rick's Mix
Last up from Zombie Squash is Rick's
Mix, a real cacophony of flavour. I
imagine Z-squad creating this juice at
midnight, in a laboratory, all maniacally
laughing and throwing flavours across
