REVIEWS E C I U J S REVIEW High Creek: Theli Upon smelling this e-juice a dominant flavour isn’t obvious, however the aroma of tobacco and fruits is faintly present. Offering a confusing scent, it’s surprising flavour offers a complexity of flavours. On the inhale a succulent apricot hits the tongue, a flavour that more closely resembles a dried apricot than a fresh piece of fruit. As the inhale continues an undertone of almonds hits the back of tongue. Into the exhale the apricot continues to tingle the taste buds in conjunction with the added flavour of cream and biscuits. The cream within the exhale comes as more of a surprise emphasising the overall mellow flavour from this juice. Post-vape the apricot continues, leaving a sweet residue on the taste buds. Scent: 1/5 Flavour: 3/5 reube n reube n hodgk ins hodgk ins Fav’ Juice: Fav’ Mod: My palette: High Creek: Scarface The first impression from this juice is from its scent. The juice offers a sweet strawberry and raspberry scent, which is redolent of soft gummy sweets. Starting from the inhale, the flavour of strawberries and raspberry sweets is dominant. The inhale also offers an undertone of vanilla creating a complex flavour on the tongue. On the exhale the dominant flavour changes to cream working in conjunction with the strawberry, raspberry and vanilla to continue the complex flavour combination throughout the vape. The aftertaste from this juice is predominantly a mixture of raspberry and cream. Overall this juice leaves a good impression with its sweet creamy taste. Scent: 3/5 Flavour: 4/5 Vanilla Custard e-liquid On first impression this e-juice produces a surprisingly more biscuit scent over a custard scent. The biscuit scent is similar to that of a lightly-baked custard cream without the center. Moving on to the inhale the theme of a custard cream continues with this being the dominant flavour. Within the inhale there is an undertone of vanilla creating a complex flavour. The exhale unusually contains all the flavours of the inhale with little change in the hierarchy of strength. The main change is the depth of the flavour, as the cloud thickens within the mouth, it quite noticeably intensifies. As the flavours become stronger so does the impression of the flavour with the taste of real custard really coming through. Post-vape, the taste of biscuit lingers along with a hint of custard. Overall this juice has left a lasting positive impression, with the main strength in this liquid being its thicker custard flavour on the exhale. Scent: 3/5 Flavour: 5/5 160 ISSUE 12 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE Star Boy – Quasar asMODus Minikin Kodama Desserts High Creek: Fafnir The scent from this juice is slightly more complex than others, offering a mixture of smells. The main identifiable scents are tobacco, vanilla and toffee. Upon inhale the impression of a tobacco flavour disappears and it is soon replaced with coffee. Towards the end of the exhale a vanilla and almond flavour becomes apparent. The coffee theme continues throughout the hit into the exhale, where the coffee receives some strength and dominates the overall flavour. The exhale continues to offer a hint of vanilla, but the toffee intensifies, creating a creamy cappuccino with syrup shots effect. The theme of dominant coffee flavour continues after the vape leaving a hint of coffee on the tongue and lips. Scent: 1/5 Flavour: 4/5
