JUICE REVIEWS BY BENEDICT ‘ NED ’ JONES
BAT JUICE VG / PG Ratio : 70 / 30 Additional Sweetener : Minimal Throat Hit : Mild , with cooling
Berries , menthol and aniseed . This is a tried and tested profile that has been incredibly popular in vaping for years , and Thor Juice were one of the very first manufacturers to bring it to market , so has Bat Juice stood the test of time ? The top note here is a medicinal medley of berries . It doesn ’ t totally dominate the mix , but it is the most prominent flavour . This is complemented by a potent aniseed which adds intrigue to the mix . The blend is rounded off with a strong coolant that seems to contain some eucalyptus . This is a bold e-liquid that you ’ ll either love or hate .
FLAMINGO VG / PG Ratio : 70 / 30 Additional Sweetener : Minimal Throat Hit : Mild
Flamingo is described as a blend of strawberry , peach and coconut . This is a profile that I ’ ve not seen before , which is a rarity in an e-liquid market full of adventurous mixes . Strawberry is the most prominent flavour here , and it ’ s more on the natural end of the spectrum rather than the candied variety usually found in e-liquids . This is complemented by sweet peach that has a very mild earthiness , which adds some depth to the mix . The coconut element of Flamingo is subtle but does add a creamy mouth-feel and helps layer the fruit elements . This is a mellow e-liquid and will be a fantastic option for those who enjoy fruit / cream blends .
FUZZY DUCK VG / PG Ratio : 70 / 30 Additional Sweetener : Minimal Throat Hit : Mild
Thor Juice describe Fuzzy Duck as a mystery citrus blend , and that ’ s a fair description . There ’ s a lot going on here , but it ’ s very difficult to pick out individual flavours . From start to finish , this e-liquid is a bold citrus punch with a mild sour note that lingers on the palate . This is not a subtle flavour and is definitely suited to more adventurous vapers . At higher wattages , I found that the mix seems to lean towards more acidic citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon , but even then I can ’ t be sure what ’ s in the mix . Fuzzy Duck is a really interesting e-liquid , that will appeal hugely to citrus fans .
LOKI POSEIDON VG / PG Ratio : 70 / 30 Additional Sweetener : Minimal Throat Hit : Mild
Described as a blend of blueberry cheesecake , peanut butter and hazelnuts , Poseidon is an ambitious dessert e-liquid from Thor Juice . A mellow candied blueberry is the top note here . It doesn ’ t dominate the mix but is still the most prominent flavour . The cheesecake and peanut butter elements make for a rich , creamy base that gives this profile a heavy but satisfying mouthfeel . To me it appears the hazelnut is more of an accent than anything else . It ’ s subtle enough that it doesn ’ t interfere with the other flavours , instead adding a dark sweetness to the mix . Poseidon is a solid dessert e-liquid with a fair amount of complexity .

LOKI HADES : VG / PG Ratio : 70 / 30 Additional Sweetener : Minimal Throat Hit : Mild
Thor Juice describe Hades as a blend of berries , almond and cinnamon . This is another profile which I ’ ve not seen attempted before , so I was intrigued to see if the combination worked . The top note is a sticky , candied medley of berries . To me this appears to be a mix of blueberry and raspberry , though there could be more going on that I ’ m not picking up . This is supported by a mild almond note that adds a bakery element to the mix and complements the berries nicely . I ’ m not really tasting much cinnamon and think it may be getting lost in the dark berry top notes . This is an interesting bakery profile that isn ’ t overly sweet , if you ’ re looking for something that ’ s a bit different , Hades is well worth a try .
LOKI PEGASUS VG / PG Ratio : 70 / 30 Additional Sweetener : Minimal Throat Hit : Mild
Billed as a blend of vanilla custard , cream cake and a well-loved chocolate brand , Pegasus is a complex flavour profile that should pique the interest of dessert fans . Strangely , the most prominent flavour I ’ m getting is a rich toffee popcorn . This isn ’ t a complaint though , as it ’ s a really nice note that doesn ’ t become cloying , and it ’ s not something often found in e-liquid form . This is supported by a mellow vanilla custard that adds a creamy body to the mix without overwhelming the palate . There is a perceptible cake element too , but it ’ s more of an accent and doesn ’ t make the profile too heavy . Pegasus is a unique dessert e-liquid that I ’ ve thoroughly enjoyed , taking the top spot amongst the liquids from Thor Juice that I ’ ve tried .
