Jelly Donut - In my time as a
reviewer, I have tried many jam
doughnut flavours, all of which I
enjoyed. This one was no exception.
A rich, sweet and sticky strawberry
jam is more apparent on inhaling.
It is very flavourful, and you can
definitely pick up on the realistic
sugary jam. As you hold the vapour
in your lungs, you then get to
experience the less sweet, but very
inviting freshly-fried doughnut. A
very uncomplicated mix of flavours,
there is no doubt that this juice gives
testament to the saying ‘less is
more.’ A very smooth and pleasant to
vape juice. Cherryade - A classically refreshing
warm weather vape, Cherryade
is reminiscent of your favourite
childhood beverage. It has a powerful,
sweet and sour cherry taste upon
inhalation. It felt a little artificial,
however not in a negative way, as it
added to the authenticity of it meaning
to taste like a soda. It has the same
feel to it as an actual fizzy drink, and
the slight sharpness is quickly
balanced by a sweet, partially sugary
note.There is a unique aftertaste to
this juice, not unlike a very mild, but
still present, koolada. I particularly
enjoyed the way that this e-liquid
reminded me of drinking ice-cold cherry
fizzy drinks on a hot summer’s day. Cola Despite being a cola fizzy drink
flavour, I felt that this juice was more
on the side of a cola bottle gummy
sweet, rather than a traditional fizzy
cola drink. Although it didn’t come
across as a drink to me, I could
still appreciate the flavour and find
points of it I could relish. This e-liquid
has a pretty simple set of flavours,
and the cola is both sweet and a
little sour. The sweetness was most
noticeable whilst I was inhaling, and
the sharper, more sour edge became
more apparent on exhaling. It
provided a pleasantly smooth throat
hit.
CherryOla Cowabunga Jelly Shot
I’m an absolute sucker for anything cola
flavoured so this e-liquid was an absolute
treat for me. The first thing you’ll notice
with a bottle of this elixir is the smell.
My nostrils were instantly filled with a
syrupy scent of fizzy cola and sweet
cherries upon taking the cap off of the
colourful bottle. I enthusiastically loaded
up my freshly wicked RDA and with high
expectations took my first puff. I was not
disappointed. The sweet, sugary cola hits
you first, with all the fizzy, slightly spiced
notes that you’d expect. Not long after
my tongue was finished processing that,
the cherry joined the mix. Rather than a
fresh fruity flavour it’s more of a candy
cherry that I definitely think complements
the cola flavour perfectly. Cherry Cola is
a classic combo and I think this is one
of the best examples of an e-liquid that
represents that.

Cowbunga brings something a bit more
refreshing to the table. If you’re into
your minty e-liquids this may just be the
perfect juice for you. Something I’ve
noticed about Phil’s Shorts liquids is the
instant smell you get upon popping off
the cap. Each one smells exactly like
you’d expect and really gets you excited
to taste the juice. In this case a waft of
sweet, minty candy filled the air and my
nose and I knew I was in for something
amazing. The flavour on display here is
subtle but effective, of course the first
thing that you taste is the mint, a sweet
and warming mint flavour that reminded
me a bit of candy canes at Christmas.
As I began to exhale I got more of the
sweetness and as the mint began to
taper off I was left with a pleasant,
refreshing taste in my mouth. I definitely
recommend trying this juice if you’re
looking for a bit of a palate cleanser.
JUICE REVIEWS BY ALEX SHENKER
Another sweet, candy juice here to finish
off my roundup of some of the Phil’s
Shorts e-liquids. Jelly Shot is a mixed
gummy candy that expertly blends a
few different fruity sweet flavours in to
one hell of a fun liquid. The main flavour
here is strawberry gummies, it’s the first
taste you get on the inhale and it’s the
predominant thing you’re left with on
your palate afterwards. Sandwiched in
between the inhale and exhale you get
smackings of raspberry and watermelon
candy, both of which being a little sourer
than the strawberry and acting as a
worthy companion to the sweetness
of the red fruit. The overall effect fills
your mouth with an incredible flavour
that harkens back to packets of sweets
from my youth. I absolutely have to
recommend this juice to anyone, but
if like me you have a very sweet tooth
you’ll be in for a treat with Jelly Shot.
