REVIEWS JUICE REVIEWS BY PEACHES ATKINSON CUCUMBER GIN STRAWBERRY GIN CLEMENTINE GIN Gin flavours are gaining popularity, and it’s not hard to see that these ones are paving the way. A wonderfully-revitalising e-liquid, the flavour itself is one of a kind. A fresh and somewhat fruity element of cucumber slowly encapsulates your taste buds in a unique and welcome manner. It has a rather sweet flavour that brings this juice to life. The strong and noticeable cucumber is met with a rich, and slightly sharp gin. The gin, despite being rich in taste, is pleasantly complemented by the more potent, yet still palatable, cucumber. The cucumber part of this e-liquid tastes sweeter than a typical cucumber, although I feel that this makes it even more rewarding to vape. It is not at all sickly nor overwhelming, just an ideal summer time flavour. A classically sweet and succulent strawberry flavour, this e-liquid is equally as refreshing as the cucumber gin e-liquid. The strawberry comes across as ripe, juicy and wholesome. It tastes more like a real life strawberry rather than an imitation of one, such as a strawberry candy or a strawberry milkshake, for example. The strawberry is within the perfect balance of being not too sweet, yet still sweet enough to be able to enjoy vaping it. The gin flavouring is a subtle, yet very much present addition to the fruitier elements. It adds a nice touch that develops this flavour in a complex and gratifying manner. An ultra-unique set of flavours, this juice is ready to impress even the most refined of palates. A sweet, juicy and ever-so- slightly sour citrus is most noticeable upon inhaling. It felt incredibly smooth, despite being a rather powerful flavour. I thought that the gin flavouring in this juice was slightly more apparent than in the previous ones, adding to the extremely distinct nature of this e-liquid I could genuinely imagine that this e-liquid tasted just like what it has set out to be, a perfectly executed, pleasurable and well-balanced clementine gin. These flavours join together to help conjure up a refined and refreshing all day vape. BRIGHT – GRAPE TRIO DEPPER COLA CO GEORGIE PORGIE – VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild Described as a blend of white, red and black grapes with an icy coolant, Grape Trio is a simple fruit profile that relies on competent ingredient selection to be a worthwhile choice. The intense grape combination here really is distinctive. American-style concord grape candied red grape and a more natural white grape are almost seamlessly layered here and the result is a grape profile quite unlike any other I’ve tried. It’s not for the faint of heart though and is an intense combination. The white grape top note also seems to bring a hint of elderflower to the mix, which serves to further separate this from other grape blends. The coolant finish is just as potent as the flavour profile and makes for a refreshing and unique e-liquid. The manufac
