REVIEWS a divine vanilla aftertaste though and it leaves you craving more. A fantastic juice, especially for anyone with a sweet tooth and the flavours all complement each other brilliantly. Shag’s Custard would make a great all-day vape for those that don’t find it too sickly or it’s a nice treat now and then for those that do. 4/5 The bottles are matt black and glass with a child-proof pipette cap. The label is mostly black with the Vaper Star logo in a goldish-yellow and the juice name written in a white bar at the bottom of the label. Shag’s Custard 30ml, 3mg, 80VG/20PG The smell is of a very distinctive vanilla custard, such a strong sweet smell and one that can be recognised instantly. The taste is so nice too, the inhale gives a fantastic creamy custard with a little hint of caramel coming through too. The exhale brings the caramel flavour through that bit stronger while the custard fades away. You are left with French Kiss 30ml, 3mg, 80VG/20PG The smell is very sweet toffee initially with a gentle touch of vanilla. The smell is so nice I can’t wait to get vaping. The first hit gave me a bit of a shock as there is a fairly harsh throat hit right off the bat. I found that vaping this juice around 40w on my 0.2Ω coil made the throat hit all but disappear. With the throat hit virtually gone, the taste came through beautifully. Inhaling gives an amazingly creamy toffee flavour infused with hints of vanilla. Exhaling gives a mostly vanilla taste with a bit of the toffee hanging around too. You get an exquisite vanilla aftertaste lingering on your tongue Beachcomber is a lovely juice, the sweetness of the bubblegum is beautifully balanced against the strawberry and watermelon to make an all round pleasant vape. 3/5 Cloudy Reef Yacht Master 10ml, 3mg, 80VG/20PG These bottles are 10ml squeezy bottles with a child-proof cap. The label has two shades of blue swirled together with the Cloudy Reef logo at the top, the juice name in the centre and the strength and VG/PG mix at the bottom. The smell of apples and pears instantly make their presence known with a touch of rhubarb in the mix too, such a tantalising fruity smell that I can’t wait to try. The taste of pear comes through straight away when inhaling with apple faintly coming through also. Exhaling reveals the rhubarb with the apple mixed in nicely and the aftertaste you’re left with is a beautiful blend of all three flavours. The flavours are not as strong as the smell leads you to believe but with such subtle flavours merging so well the overall taste is a nice fruity mix. Yacht Master has a fantastic fruity aroma when you open the bottle, the flavours took a few hits to figure out though but once you get going the taste is beautiful and fruity. 3/5 Beachcomber 10ml, 3mg, 80VG/20PG Sniffing the bottle gives you an instant hit of bubblegum, with a mildly fruity undertone there too. I’m not 100% on the fruity smell but I believe there is strawberry and watermelon that I can smell. The first hit is fantastic, a gorgeous bubblegum taste while inhaling with a slight hint of watermelon that took a few hits to notice. Exhaling seems to make the watermelon come through stronger while the bubblegum dissipates. There is an ever-so-subtle hint of strawberry throughout the experience but it is most noticeable in the aftertaste mixing with the bubblegum flavour. that is particularly moreish. French Kiss is a great juice once you find that sweet spot that alleviates the throat hit. It has such a smooth flow between the flavours with each hit you take. I am fond of this juice and can recommend it if you like your sweet flavours. 3/5 “The first hit is fantastic, a gorgeous bubblegum taste while inhaling with a slight hint of watermelon that took a few hits to notice.” VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE ISSUE 08 179
