HERBAL TIDES - SUMMER RAIN


This is the third eliquid I've reviewed from Herbal tides and just like the others it has fantastic artwork, it's of a young girl dressed in victorian clothing holding an umbrella whilest sat in a rain storm, the feel of the picture is...well to me, a mix of sadness and happiness, the girl in the picture is sad because it's raining and this is shown with washed out colours and the umbrella is happy because it's raining (umbrellas love the rain) and is shown with a bright pink colour.

What is this....an art critique or a juice review?? Chill...it's a juice review, just the artwork on these really does capture your imagination.

Removing the cap to give the'ol sniff there's a real nice aroma of pears and melon, somewhat reminds me of pear drop sweets.

The flavour on the other hand is slightly different and certainly doesn't taste like peardrop sweets, you do have the flavours of pear and honeydew melon on the inhale and on the exhale those pear and melon flavours are still there but are joined with champagne which has an almost floral taste in pretty much the same way as elderflower. There's a fight between sweet and sharp too with sweet being the overall winner. 

Vapour production is really quite good, giving out a decent amount of vapour on the Trident set-up.

Depending on your set-up, nicotine ETC. your throat hit will vary, although with my set-up I was getting a nice smooth throat hit.

Overall Summer rain is a fantastic flavour, another master piece from Herbal Tides, it's fruity, juicy and with more than enough to keep it interesting, there's so much going on with this flavour you won't get bored and I for one have had a few days where this has been my all day vape.

HERBAL TIDES - FIRE ANT


The art work on fire ant is cool too, with a giant ant striding out of flames, kind of has a Japanese anime vibe to it.

The aroma from the bottle is the unmistakable aroma of cinnamon, hot cinnamon at that! there's also fruity notes to is as well.

Because of the strong cinnamon aroma I would suggest using fire ant in either a glass or steel tank.

The flavour really isn't what I expected, in a good way... I was expecting a full on hot cinnamon flavour which would be difficult to vape, burn your mouth ETC. 
Instead there's quite a bit of fruit on the inhale and you can taste the fruity flavours initially, then comes the hot cinnamon, which add's a lot of spicy warmth to the back of the throat, the exhale brings out a rather pleasant spicy fruit flavour.

Vapour production is really quite good, giving out a decent amount of vapour on the Trident set-up.

The throat hit is a pleasant warming sensation, it's still a smooth vape though.

Overall fire ant is a great flavour which starts off fruity then transforms into a totally different beast, if you don't like cinnamon vapes then steer clear as the cinnamon is quite strong and although there is a fruity element to it, I couldn't tell you what fruits they are as they have been overtaken by the cinnamon, it's a very unique flavour and not one I could vape all day, that doesn't mean I don't like it, because I do, but only in short sessions.

No1 EJUICE - JUICY JOY & DEVIL KISS

No1 EJUICE - JUICY JOY


No1 ejuice pack their eliquids in small cardboard boxes with bright colours and eye catching graphics, these are also present on the bottle label, juicy joy has a nice bright yellow box and label, the picture on the label reminds me of pip boy from the fallout video games. (if you don't know what I'm on about...don't worry I'm just a geek) 

The smell from the bottle is simply mouthwatering, imagine sweet mango's and peaches blended together in a fruit smoothie....Mmmmm!!

The flavour from the vapour is exactly what you smell from the bottle the flavours are so vivid and alive you really get the sense your actually receiving some of your 5 a day from this flavour, the mango's and peach really are juicy giving the impression of real fruit juice, the two combined give it an almost fruit smoothie texture (if that's even possible?) there's a thickness to the vapour, I also get the flavour of fresh orange juice, especially the kind with "bits" in....there's something else.... it might just be my imagination but passion fruit seams to be lingering about too!

Vapour production is very good producing nice thick clouds of vapour (this will depend on your set up).

Depending on your set-up, nicotine ETC. your throat hit will vary, although with my set-up I was getting a almost fizzy throat hit.

To sum this flavour up in one word....WOW! I'm really impressed with it, there's actually a lot going on all at once, inhale has the mango and peaches along with that fizzy throat hit exhale brings out that smoothie flavour along with the orange & passion fruit taste...this might sound odd but there's a phantom coconut flavour too.

Phantom coconuts?? I know, as weird as it sounds I'm getting a really feint coconut flavour similar to a pina colada but without the pineapple, it doesn't always appear, but you'll know when it does.

Simply put this is an amazing tropical flavour that's really got a lot going for it, if you like your fruit vapes on the juicy tropical side you'll love this, a real must try eliquid and I'm sure you wont be disappointed.

No1 EJUICE - DEVIL KISS


Same packaging as Juicy joy except the colour scheme is now purple and the picture is that of a stick man cartoon devil, almost purple Ronnie-esq (again if you don't know what I'm on about...google it).

The aroma from this liquid is black grape similar to say Welches grape fruit juice.

Taking my first vape of devil kiss caught me by surprise there's a really nice sweet juicy black grape flavour with a touch of mint/menthol in there too! it's not an overpowering mint/menthol and the two flavours work really well together with both working to balance each other out, it's quite a solid flavour which pretty much stays the same throughout the inhale and exhale, devil kiss has a fantastic grape after-taste too which really makes this a Moorish vape.  

Vapour production is very good producing nice thick clouds of vapour (this will depend on your set up).

Depending on your set-up, nicotine ETC. your throat hit will vary, although with my set-up I was getting a nice cooling mint/menthol throat hit.

Devil kiss bought back memory's of when I first started vaping properly, by that I mean moving on from pre-filled cig-a-likes to Ego's and Eliquids, we've all done this in our early days of vaping and maybe your doing it now? and that's hunting for that perfect flavour, reading what everyone is vaping what the must have flavours are, one of those for me was reading about a flavour called "thug juice" by mount baker vapour an American company, obviously being in America it was a pain to get hold of over here in the UK, but finally managed to get hold of some after a few weeks of waiting.

Thug juice is a Grape,watermelon and mint/menthol flavour.... nice but a bit perfume tasting due to the watermelon.

Devil kiss on the other hand is very similar but without the perfume taste and a damn sight easier to get hold of, this I'm sure will be one of those cult classics which fruit lovers and mint/menthol lovers will be raving about once they try it out.....Waffle over!
