REVIEWS
KENTUCKY
This is a real tobacco lover’s vape, as
are most of these flavours from Black
Note. This liquid features a bold tobacco
flavour with some nutty hints. There’s
a real earthy vibe going on here, but I
personally prefer a milder tobacco like
some of the juices coming up.
LATAKIA
A real spicy, aromatic tobacco here, the
intense, smoky tobacco is very peppery
and helps create a fiery flavour that’s
definitely something new and interesting.
Not for the faint hearted though.
VIRGINIA
This is a classic American tobacco
flavour, and a taste very familiar to
anyone who’s ever rolled a cigarette.
I’d say out of all the Black Note juices,
Virginia gives you the most accurate
smoking-like experience. BURLEY
A slightly sweeter tobacco on display
here with Burley. It’s a little bit rich on
the initial inhale but the exhale is so
smooth and leaves you wanting more.
It really lifts the tobacco to higher
levels.
ORIENTAL
Definitely one of my favourite tobacco
juices ever, Oriental is a lovely smooth
and heady tobacco flavour with hints
of oriental spices that add so many
different layers of taste it’s hard to stop
vaping. If you’re unsure about tobacco
juices give this one a try. CAVENDISH
A real dark-tasting tobacco, super rich
and very intense. If you’re looking for
something with a strong tobacco flavour
this may well be the juice for you.
Personally, I found it a bit much but I’m
not the biggest fan of this sort of flavour.
Still an excellent example of a tobacco
juice.
This UK-produced e-liquid comes in a 3 x 10ml multi pack in nicotine strengths of 3mg, 6mg and 12mg. Upon opening the bottle, a
nostalgic and fresh scent met my nose. Blackcurrant menthol was actually the first ever e-liquid flavour I tried. This time, however, I would
be using an RDA setup rather than an ego/CE4 setup, and I would also be using a higher VG percentage e-liquid. I had an inkling that
it was going to be so much better than before so I dripped some liquid on my cotton, in sheer anticipation. First came a subtly sweet yet
juicy blackcurrant that made my mouth water. I didn’t think it tasted like authentic blackcurrants, however it did come across as candy-
like, I think this is what the juice manufacturers were after anyway.
I enjoyed the deep sweetness to the blackcurrant, it carried well and was not too overpowering in terms of flavour.
As I began to exhale a slightly minty menthol hit the back of my throat, allowing a wave of coolness to rush around my mouth. It certainly
felt cold and would be an ideal vape for vapers who like the iciness found in this juice.
However, the menthol, for me, was a tiny bit harsh, but that is because I am no longer used to vaping menthol flavoured e-liquids, that is
not to say it will be harsh for everyone.
Vaping on ‘Tuned-Up’ gave impressive clouds, as the PG/VG was 30/70.
Overall, I found that this juice took me way back to when I started vaping, and that in itself was a rewarding experience. As a juice, it
ticked all the boxes, just the right amount of menthol mixed with a copious yet not too potent sweet blackcurrant.
