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.
