Suggesting regulation over the use of caffeine in efluid is completely over the top.

He He good one!
Come on ppl, it's hard enough to get any kind of acceptance for ecigs, let alone approval.
If anything other than nicotine and some flavor is added you're right into Joe Duffy territory. "What else is in em Joe, Thats what I'd like to know, could be anything drugs Viagra ?"
First get em accepted, then add the Viagra, hell I'm wondering if mary jane could be vaped but I ain't gona tell

Regulation and legislation is coming, don't make it any harder.

Weren't you the one that suggested regulation?

I still don't understand the fact that some folks have such a problem with E cigarette safety. You can pop down to the Esso and buy products that are practically gauranteed to mill you out of it in later life.

Why are they so concerned about our health all of a sudden?

I'm off to try some of my 18mg RY-4/Viagra blend...

afaik you can make ejuice out of weed, but it's ridiculously wasteful. you need a large amount of weed to make even a small amount of juice, and even at that it'd be such an innefficient way of getting high.

That didn't take long to go from caffeine that you give to your kids in soft drinks, to banned substances:rolleyes: Yeah I'm a space cadet; On a side note, my Ma loves the Doppio Espresso.

Anyway....

TW red label Red Bull ?mg.
Not my vape but I tried it from a friends order. Good vapor and absolutely manky , 100% true to the real Red Bull flavor! Reminds me of so many terrible hangovers, so if you like the flavor of red bull (does anyone really?), or just want to re-live a hangover, go for it.

i see weed flavored stuff in the USA,it only tasted like weed tho :rolleyes:

strobe · 14-10-2011 7:54pm

Just received (amongst other things) some of the 'Reggae Nights' flavour from FlavourArt this morning. Very, very impressed.

Tastes and smells just like the real thing. I've seen cannabis scented candles, cannabis flavoured lollipops, cannabis flavoured this, that and the other over the years and none of them were ever anything close to the smell and flavour of the real stuff but this is really spot on. I would genuinely find it difficult to tell this apart from vapourised real high quality weed in terms of taste and smell.

Unfortunately the effects do differ significantly. But that would be a little too much to hope for. :pac:

But yeah, if anyone is interested in trying a marijuana flavoured vape, this will exceed your expectations.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 14-10-2011 8:20pm

dont expect to be able to vape it in a pub though

Bought two bottles of the new Liqua Smoke Juice being stocked by thebestshop yesterday that like all bestshop purchases turned up first thing this morning.

I ordered Light Tobacco and Traditional Tobacco both in 12mg and have been direct dripping and using in 510-T atomizer, I'll fill a LR Boge later and give that a try too.

I've been vaping these since this morning and so far I'm very impressed.

Bright Tobacco
The Bright tobacco is exactly as its named, a nice light/clean tobacco flavour with a very mild sweetness to it and a nice throat hit for 12mg.

The vapor production is excellent, I could see myself vaping this all day.

Traditional Tobacco
The Traditional Tobacco reminds me of Halo Freedom liquid, it's even the same light pink colour, I always found the Freedom liquid improved in the days after opening the bottle and wonder if this will do the same, although if it doesn't I'd still be happy with it.

Flavour wise it's a nice solid tobacco flavour that reminds me of hand rolling tobacco.

Again nice throat hit, really nice vapor production.

These are both excellent juices that I will be buying again.

The light tobacco is an excellent choice for any ex light analogue smokers or just as a mild all day vape.

The Traditional Tobacco is more robust in flavour and I could imagine it will make a nice vape with a pint!

All in all a nice new range available locally.

surferdwb · 20-10-2011 5:59pm

Having enjoyed the tobacco Liqua juices I purchased from the bestshop I decided to go back and buy some of the other flavours to try, here are quick reviews of the three I purchased.

All of the Liqua juices are PG/VG blend and come individually boxed in bright well designed packaging with the strength and expiry date displayed below the barcode on the side of the box.

Although the packaging is purely cosmetic it is quite nice to see individually branded boxes for the flavours rather than the usual generic image of mixed fruit or a tobacco field.

Liqua Coffee (Light 0.9mg)
I've never been a big fan of coffee juices, I always found them to taste either like sweet milky coffee or burnt coffee beans.

This Liqua juice has changed all that. Wow what an unbelievable flavour.

This is your freshly ground full flavoured espresso shot distilled into a juice.

From the first vape on this you instantly get the intense coffee flavour, and considering the non-tobacco flavour Liqua juices have a lower nicotine level than their tobacco ones this Light strength 0.9mg packs a pleasant punch.

I also found that the flavour seems to intensify on the exhale and like the tobacco Liqua juices I have already tried produces tons of vapor.

I think I might be hooked on coffee.

Liqua Berry Mix (Light 0.9mg)
I'm a big fan of Apple and Blueberry juices so was interested to try the Berry Mix flavour and see what it had to offer.

The image on the box shows Blueberries, Raspberries and Black Berries and I was pleasantly surprised to find that's exactly what this juice tastes of!

The first thought that came to me regarding the flavour of this juice was it reminds me of Summer fruit squash. Thats not a negative comparison as I happen to really like summer fruit squash!

This juice has a very pleasant sweet fruity and somewhat refreshing flavour to it.
It really is an accurate representation of mixed berries it's not synthetic tasting in anyway, unlike some of the other fruit liquids I have tried (I'm yet to find an accurate cherry flavour).

The throat hit on this juice is quite mild but what it lacks in throat hit it makes up for in flavour and I suspect that at a higher nic level it would give a stronger throat hit.

Like the other Liqua juices I've tried it gives a really nice amount of vapor.

Fans of fruit flavoured liquids should really give this a try.

Cigar Tobacco (Light 12mg)
As someone who had a phase of smoking ridiculously overpriced cigars in the past I've always shied away from cigar flavours as I thought it would be impossible to recreate that intense flavour and vapor in an e-liquid.

I'm really pleased I put my prejudice aside and bought this juice, it really is a robust full flavour cigar tobacco taste with a lovely dry aftertaste reminiscent of my cigar smoking past.

Whether its my taste buds fooling me or not I don't know but this juice feels like it has a thicker cigar like vapor on the exhale.

This is a really relaxing vape and I can certainly see myself getting through a few mil of this on a cold winters evening.

The Liqua juices are currently only available in 10ml bottle sizes, I don't know if that is because they are a new range to thebestshop or if that is the only size that the manufacturer makes them in, but judging from my experience with them so far I'd probably be looking for some bigger bottles. One thing worth mentioning is the soft silicone bottle spout that makes filling tanks a breeze, the spout fits right into the hole on 510-T and Ego-T tanks for easy non drip filling.

mrplop · 27-10-2011 10:17am

Liqua Cigar Tobacco 1.8 Regular.

Reminds me very much of the pre filled carts that you get with disposables - chocalate/coffee like flavour. Can't really say it tastes anything like a cigar but that's probably a good thing.
Not a bad juice but wouldn't be a everyday juice to vape with.

Mike Litoris · 07-11-2011 9:08pm

Kentucky Blend from Liberty flights - Extremely disappointed after hearing all the good things about this juice. Good throat hit but the flavour is sickly sweet with a weird perfume like after taste.

Also got 10ml bottles of Kentucky Blend Applewood and Cherrywood, same deal with those. Again, so let down. Actaully tastes like sweetened dry ice.

Caramel from Liberty Flights - I smoke USA mix and Caramel, which I love, which I normally get from Thebestshop but I couldn't get bigger than 10ml. The biggest I could find was 30ml from LF. This has little or no flavour at all, but again, has that weird sweetness like the Kentucky Blend stuff.:mad:

Esel · 09-11-2011 12:38am

^ Mix your own. A lot cheaper, and you'll soon hit a good mix. Inawera are good. They do some Flavour Arts flavours too, apparently.

Mike Litoris · 09-11-2011 3:15am

I think I'll eventually venture down this road, Esel. I still want to sample different flavours before I make my mind up on what to experiment with but right now USA mix and Caramel is hitting the spot.

Mike Litoris · 09-11-2011 3:37am

OK having read a few threads on mixing its obvious the Liberty Flights stuff uses a lot of Glycerol which gave everything a similar flavour, the stuff is also way thicker than the standard stuff I'm used to. Somewhere within the Kentucky Blend Applewood there is a nice taste thats almost completely drowned out by the Glycerol. Shame.

Its all about tastes Mike, having read alot of reviews about the vermillion river the consensus seems to be that its good because its not an over fruity taste in the apple of cherry for example. TBH I didnt find the premium blend that bad, I remember one of the reviewers saying that if you liked RY4 you would like the premium blend..not everyone likes RY4.

I think the previous poster is spot on though, its time to start mixing. I wonder if there is a link to any 'recipies' to RY4 etc, or combinations that seem to work. Id like to know some of the recipies that better the vastly overpriced juices ie pink spot vapours or the so called gourmet juices.

Hi guys - my first post! I had been way off on ECF before I realised there was an Irish forum..........

I have tried a number of flavours from OK Smokey. Vaping for nearly 4 weeks now and no analog, having been primarily a Old Holborn roll your own smoker.

Old Holborn
Doesn't really taste like Old Hoborn but has a lovely strong & slight sweet tobacco taste. Juice is a bit thick, and might gunk up your atty.
7/10

Amber Leaf
Quite like the Old Holborn, but not quite as sweet and liquid is less viscous. This could be my all day vape.
8/10

Chocolate
My other half's favourite - I don't like it, but if I was stuck.
4/10

Coffee
I love this one and am surprised that I do. Great throat hit, and tastes like coffee cake, whiich funny enough I don't like to eat, but for vaping is great.
8/10

B&H
Not bad at all. Quite mild, and I can see many others likeing this.
6/10

Marborough
Not as nice as the B&H, but good for priming the atty.
5/10

Cuban Cigar
Very strong flavour and after taste. Yuk!
3/10

I have a shipment of Dekang ordered from China, and looking forward to trying these out.

surferdwb · 19-11-2011 8:02pm

Purchased from thevapourstore.

This is without doubt my favourite Menthol flavour on the market, and I've tried a lot!

Beautiful clean refreshing menthol taste, fantastic throat hit and clouds of vapour.

I don't know how they do it but Halo liquids seem to produce a vapour almost identical to an analogue.

A truly fantastic e-liquid.

Halo liquids are pretty expensive at 22.75 for 30ml but they really are great.
Whenever I have the cash I splash out on a bottle of TruePure, Tribeca or Freedom Juice and love them all.

black tobacco from Thebestshop

when i first vaped it this morning I did not like it at all, i just about hated it. but over the day i've come to really like it. it has a very distinct flavour, i think it was just shock that turned me against it at first.
I dont know what I'd call it a tobacco flavour.. it's.. strange. it reminds me of something, it definitely reminds me of something. I want to say some sort of fruit.. but it doesnt taste fruity.
it's nice anyway, if you're looking for something that has a strong taste to it this definitely has that. good vapour, throathit's about the same as I get from my other juices (i vape 11/12mg).

bought 10ml of this. pretty sure that it's black cherry tobacco as no other sites has just black tobacco so cherry is the sort of fruity taste that you were thinking of.

Got some Premium from TBS today, Coffee, Tobacco, Watermelon & RY4. As someone said earlier it's horses for courses, but I'm not mad about any of them, and they all seem to have a "flavour" that runs through them all, but I can't quite identify the taste - something slightly sweet. I have some Dekang flavours coming from China soon, in various flavours - will report back.

In the meantime I've re-ordered my favourites from OK Smokey.

Agree there, tried a bunch of TBS liquids and any of the ones I sampled had a very sweet twang, I thought caramel/sherbert - ish, after a while it was all I could taste.

At the opposite end of the scale I got some of their LIQUA Italian tobacco, and while I personally did not like it, I've no doubt it is very well crafted, not a hint of sweetness of any kind at all. I found it a hard one to quantify, but it is a very interesting flavor, almost like the bitterness of an espresso without any of the coffee body. I'm sure someone would love this, but not me, I will deffo be trying more of that range when funds allow.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 29-11-2011 10:54pm

aren't tbs liquids dekang liquids? the bottles look the same as the dekang liquids from healthcabin

achieve · 30-11-2011 9:42pm

Maybe thier premium brand are different. Think I read earlier in this thread that TBS premium come from Hang Seng or someplace like that.

Today I have been alternating between my Ok Smokey Amber Leaf and TBS Premium Tobacco, and the TBS is quite as sickly sweet when not vaped continuously - sort of growing on me...........

My Dekang liquids are winging their way from China. Having read a lot about these but not having tried same, am looking forward to the experience.

Mike Litoris · 30-11-2011 10:20pm

I bought a ton of stuff from the TBS over the last few weeks. Just haven't got around to test a lot of them as I use Cartos. One outstanding flavour is MLB Virginia 18mg PG. Really really tastes and smells like rolly tobacco. Good vapour and a smooth throat hit but the taste really does it. It also mixes well with Caramel.:D

tommy2bad · 03-12-2011 12:52am

Ordered stuff from http://www.inaweraflavours.com/en/ on the 24/11 and been away all day today.
Got home just before the toy show and found my stuff had arrived. Happy face.
Anyway got some 24mg dirty neutral baza and flavors to add.
don't have a syringe or pippet cos I wasn't expecting the stuff so soon.
Had a little taste of the base on it own and its a good vape, light tobacco flavor, silk cut blue maybe. i.e. light!
Tomorrow I'l get some utensils and start mixing;
Nutty Princess- smells lovely

USA light mix- smell like perfume tbh

Morning rain- colorless and I can't get any smell, might have OD'ed on the others 'tho
30 yoyos for 200 mls + 15 ml flavors, recession buster or what !
Now for more cartos and a new attie, no wait that not the plan....

05-12-2011 4:14am

I've only been trying vaping for a few weeks now. started with ry4 and tried a couple of other flavours (cherry tobacco,strawberry). one thing that I've noticed is that if I'm drinking alcohol that I crave the smokey taste of real cigs. used to smoke marlboro lights - anyone got a recommendation for something to replace that? (real cig type taste like m lights or other tobacco)

achieve · 14-12-2011 12:41am

Have just mixed Raspberry & Chocolate in a 50/50 mix in a smokeymizer - yummy!

Samba · 16-12-2011 6:42pm

Halo Malibu:

I didn't order this but I got a 5ml sample with the order, I was cursing when I saw the free sample I got, any flavour but that one I thought to myself.

It's an interesting one and to put it into a few words, it tastes what I imagine pinna colada sherbert probably tastes like, with just a slight hint of menthol to give it a bit more kick.

I'm still unsure if I'd buy more, probably not, it's not an all day vape but it's definitely a tasty option to have available, a bit like the Turkish, though I think i prefer this over Turkish.

Throat hit 8/10

Vape production 9/10

This liquid is interesting, I think I'll order a 15ml bottle to have available, it can get sickeningly sweet, but then you come back and enjoy it just as much again after a short break.

Samba · 18-12-2011 4:37pm

Health Cabin - 11mg Bubble Gum. PG

I can't imagine anyone chewing on something that tastes as awful as this stuff, there's a hint of hubba bubba original flavour, it smells nice in the bottle and first impressions when inhaling seemed promising too, but then I exhaled and got a taste of what can only be described as a detergent, does anyone remember those purple candy sweets that tasted like detergent?

Shudder.

They should rename it to Persil Bubblegum.

Taste 4/10

Sounds like Dekang Dr Pepper - I compare it to industrial cleaner.

Samba · 19-12-2011 2:30am

Two more..

Health Cabin Peanut 11mg PG.

It's quite authentic, though closer to dry roasted shelled peanuts, and the the specific taste you get off the red skin. It's not an all day vape but it's one that intrigues me every time I try it.

There's a few problems though, the first being your stomach, it starts to wonder where all the peanuts are after a while and you can build up a fierce hunger vaping this stuff. Vape production isn't great and throat hit isn't anything to write home about either.

Although it's far less pronounced, like the bubble gum, it has this twang on the exhale that spoils the inhale a little, that said, I love nuts so much I'll be dipping into this every now and then but it's still a novelty liquid that I probably wouldn't buy again.

Taste 7/10,

Vape production 6/10

Throat hit 7/10

Halo Prime 15 12mg PG/VG

Tastes very similar to the Joye tobacco but this stuff produces amazing vapour, you really get that analogue feel from it, I never felt the Joye tobacco actually tasted anything like tobacco tbh, it's like walnut tobacco you would smoke in a shisha, so you almost feel like you're smoking a shisha. It's a touch on the dry side but not so much that you wouldn't happily vape it all day.

Taste 8/10

Vape Production 9/10

Throat hit 9.5/10

Man thats the funniest thingI've read all day.:D

Thanks for the reviews. Halo Prime sounds nice.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 20-12-2011 12:39pm

I kinda see what youn mean about the detergant taste

vaping 11mg dekang cotton candy atm in a dcc
it smells amazing but the actually cotton candy taste is very muted on the draw, and when you exhale there is a definite hint of... persil or something

im not gona give up on it yet.. when I get my lavatube i'll try it at a few different voltages and in a couple of different atomisers, but so far.. kinda dissapointed in it

I guess I could just use it as a shower gel or something, make myself smell pretty

Samba · 20-12-2011 1:49pm

Yeah, so promising when you pop the bottle open but then you can't help wonder about that after taste, I usually pull a Father Jack face each time I exhale, it's not half as bad on the peanut flavour but there's still a lingering twang

The HC liquids are made by dekang using the HCs selection of flavouring/ingredients, I don't think they differ much tbh.

Unfortunately I've gotta downgrade the Halo Prime from being an all day vape, it's simply too dry, it's a great liquid and if they could make it a little more moist on the mouth and throat and get a more authentic tobacco flavour to it, it'd quickly become my regular all day vape.

Can anyone advise me on which Halo liquids don't make you feel like you've just spent a day in the Sahara?

Malibu didn't have this issue but I've tried torque and prime which both share the same arid characteristic vape.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 20-12-2011 4:15pm

i'm.. kinda growing to appreciate it
it doesn't really taste like cotton candy but it's.. sweet enough and the detergant taste has gone away the more I vaped it

definitely wont be an all day vape anyway, but maybe.. once a month I might break it out

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 21-12-2011 1:10am

dekang - litchi

i dont know what the hell this **** is, but I ****ing *love* it
i think... *think* it tastes kinda like turkish delight, but bear in mind it's been years since I had turkish delight.
i have always been terrible at describing things so I can't really explain what im tasting.. but it's so
****ing
nice

stevenmu · 21-12-2011 12:20pm

Is it Lychee by any chance? I've had lychee juice a few times, some of the asian supermarkets around stock it and it's delicious. Only way I could describe it is somewhere between a raspberry and a strawberry.
