JUICE REVIEWS BY ALEX SHENKER
AZURE CORAL ONYX
First up from Pro Vaperz is Azure, which
is a classic blue slushy flavour. I reckon
I’ve tried upwards of 50 similar flavours
this year alone, it’s very much a trendy
type of juice these days. I’m very pleased
to say that Azure is definitely one of the
top blue raspberry slush flavours I’ve
tried. The candy sweet raspberry taste
is mouth-wateringly tasty and moreish.
There’s a definite bubble gum hint in
there as well, that really adds to the
overall taste. I really enjoyed vaping
Azure and would happily recommend it
to everyone. Coral is a beautifully balanced mixed
tropical fruit. The initial flavour I got was
pineapple and mango, but there are hints
and notes of loads of other different fruits
like passion fruit and papaya. The overall
flavour takes me away to a hot, sunny
island somewhere in the pacific with
a big fruity drink in my hand. Absolute
paradise. Last up from Pro Vapers is Onyx,
something a little different to the previous
two juices. It’s an icy blackcurrant vape
that’s ultra-refreshing. The blackcurrant
flavour tastes like a handful of freshly-
picked berries and the menthol is well
balanced, giving a fantastic icy hit
without becoming too overpowering. I
really enjoyed Onyx, especially in the hot
weather we’ve had of late.

Described as a blend of candy cane
and strawberry, Candy Cane Original
is a slightly more complex e-liquid from
Dr Frost. Peppermint is the dominant
flavour on the inhale. It’s herbal but
balanced well by an accompanying hard
candy note, making for an authentic
representation of this Christmas treat.
This is supported by a very subtle cream
base which gives the mix some body and
enhances the peppermint top note nicely.
There is also a faint candied strawberry
in the background, which seems to
become more prominent at higher
wattages. This adds some depth to the
mix and helps to avoid Candy Cane Original
coming across as a one-dimensional
flavour. The profile is rounded out with a
mellow coolant. This is a subtle e-liquid
and a strong contender for an all-day
vape if you enjoy mint. Vanilla Peach is Mr Cream’s take on
a classic dessert blend that has been
popular with vapers for years. This is
a stripped back profile that requires
intelligent ingredient selection in order
to stand out from the crowd. Candied
peach is the top note here. It resembles
peach rings, but isn’t quite as artificial,
carrying some very subtle hints of the
earthy stone fruit. This is supported by
a decadent vanilla cream, which adds a
luxurious mouthfeel and some serious
body to the flavour. The cream element
is quite heavy, reminding me of cake
frosting but it doesn’t distract from the
experience or become sickly. I must
commend Mr Cream for their selection
of peach flavouring in this mix. Many
people, myself included, are sensitive
to some commercial peach flavourings,
which results in a very harsh throat hit.
I’m happy to say there is no such effect
in this case.
Honeydew Blackcurrant from the Dr
Frost line is a simple fruit and coolant
blend hailing from Malaysia. This is a
well-balanced e-liquid, that brings the
best out of what could otherwise be a
basic profile. Honeydew melon is the
first thing you taste. It’s candied without
becoming too artificial and makes for
a bright top note. This gives way to a
dark, sticky blackcurrant which brings
both floral tones and substance to the
mix. These two contrasting fruits make
for a rather moreish profile that remains
interesting as the flavours play off one
another. A signature Malaysian icy
blast finishes things off which elevates
the brighter notes and makes for a
mellow, refreshing all day vape. Fans
of Malaysian style e-liquids should be
giving this one a try.
