Alien Visions E-Juice - Juice Reviews

​

My take on a stolen e-juice: Alien Visions Havana Gold (12mg)

I've been vaping this specific e-juice on a regular basis since the last JHB vape meet and just had to put my impressions down on paper (at least for myself).

Alien Visions website blurp: "Very strong tobacco flavoring, if someone was looking for a Cuban cigar this would be it".

Most true, and closest to a real quality cigar I've vaped to date. It immediately reminded me of a few exotic evenings where I had the privilege of smoking hand made Robustos cigars made by the likes of Cohiba (definitely not your sub 200 bucks a shot mediocre cigar you buy from the local Tobacconist).

When you remove the cap you get an accurate smell of a cigar fresh out of the humidifier cabinet. I caught myself a few times licking the drip tip on my atomizer as I used to lick a cigar !

Flavour: on par with the Robustos type cigar; from the inhale an authentic sweetish cigar; an earthy-, leathery flavour, layered on such a hidden honey which is easily missed if you haven't experienced a quality Robustos type cigar in the past, combined with an even more subtle spicy dark roasted coffee bean in the background on the exhale. The taste lingers with the same authenticity and far more than any other tobacco type e-juice I've vaped to date.

Throat Hit: The throat hit is on par and does not disappoint on the recognisable Robustos thump.

Vapour Production: Due to the 100% VG, I am sure you can enter a cloud building competition with a Chinese fake clearomiser - you might not win but will definitely impress.

Mix-ability: will go very well with a few drops of pure coconut concentrate (PS. if you have to rape the original Havan Gold flavour).

Pairing: definitely with a well pre-steamed glass of cognac or a single malt on the rocks - and, an exceptional nice vape during or after a cheese platter.

Its definitely an acquired taste, and if you don't like cigars, it might not be the flavour for you - but at least try as your taste buds have improved by leaps an bounds since you quit the stinkies (you will either love it or hate it). I really think vapors with a preference to pipe tobacco flavours will love the Havana Gold as well.

This has instantly become my after dinner and chill-out flavour of choice and I hope @ShaneW from Juicy Joes read this - I'm going to run out soon boet!

Now you all understand why I shamelessly stole it from @ShaneW's Juicy Joes stand at the last JHB vape meet . From the very first toot I just had to have it.

Equipment used: RM2 RBA (1.5mm air hole) on a Reo , coil resistance: 1.0Ω down to 0.4 Ω. What was very interesting to me, is that the flavour do not deteriorate or change in the mentioned coil resistance range, and that is a very 1'st for me to experience with any e-juice.

Note: It is even Rob O'Neil from Reosmods favourite e-juice: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/alien-visions-e-juice/179018-havana-gold-2.html

Very nice review Ohm Johan! Ive had a taste and have to agree with what you have said from my own experience! Its the closest thing ive tasted to a cigar!

 

[devdev]

Great write up @johan! Considering I could be considered an accomplice to the 'removal' of this bottle from @ShaneW, I am glad to see your review.

As we have already determined, you like what I don't and vice versa. This one I knew straight away was not my cup of tea, but to be expected, you loved it.

Hope Shane has some more for you!

Yip I doubt whether you going to like it, but will gladly give you some to try once @ShaneW decides to make them available. It might just be our 1'st mutual e-juice .

 

[ShaneW]

Wow ... great review @johan . And spot on!

Glad someone else is enjoying it as much as myself. I can see why it wouldn't be for everyone though, its a pretty hardcore tobacco. More for a tobacco enthusiast then just a Bobas fan.

@devdev ... to answer your question. I do indeed have more, stock arrived today.

He did try it, almost vomited, then immediately ran away and gave it to you. lol

LOL now I don't feel like a thief anymore! - I feel a halo over my head suddenly. The real thief was actually @devdev

 

[BumbleBee]

Super review @johan, this flavour doesn't sound half bad, I might just try it one day

 

[crack2483]

I very much enjoyed a small sample I got too. It's awesome!

Hi there Ohm Johan. Hope you are well.
I would definitely try it as I've always had a soft spot for Cuban Cigars. Nothing beats it.

Hi all

This is my first Alien Visions juice review and none other than the internationally acclaimed and much sought after Bobas Bounty. Thanks to @ShaneW from Juicy Joes, who brings these juices in to SA, I managed to get a 30ml bottle for R260. I got the 18mg strength. Bobas Bounty is 100% VG.

I have been vaping it for the past 3 weeks. Here goes...

Alien Visions - BOBAS BOUNTY (18mg)

Bottom line - Granola bars and tennis biscuits with mild tobacco in the background. Such a delicious and full flavour that I could eat it. Stonking throat hit. This is a true winner in my book. I have already ordered replenishments.

The liquid has an orange type of colour. It is very thick and my first 100% VG juice I've reviewed. It smells like biscuits.



Wow, this is delicious and unlike any e-juice flavour I've tried before.

Immediately after the first few toots, this is what comes to my mind:



Granola bars!

The flavour of Bobas is really interesting, complex and very delicious to my taste. It tastes to me like Granola Bars, Tennis biscuits and mild tobacco. I first get a full Granola Bar flavour, complete with oats and something slightly sweet. Then the mild tobacco - but more in the background. It's all mixed together and quite filling. The flavours are rich but not overdone.

On a fresh wick and battery, this juice has an unbelievably good taste. A mouthful of fullness. Savoury granola bar, oats and mild tobacco. Rich but oh, so satisfying. I could eat it. A true winner in my book.

This is more savoury than sweet. It's more oats and granola bar than it is sweet biscuit. It is of medium dryness. Not very dry nor is it wet. This is a warm vape not a cool one. It tastes like food, no jokes. It's comforting. Very natural tasting - no artificial flavours.

Thankfully for me, Bobas delivers superbly on the throat hit at 18mg. And surprisingly so, given it's 100% VG. More throat hit than a few other 50/50 18mg juices I've tried. Impressive. Wonder how they do that? I was vaping it mostly at 0.65 ohms on my REO - so about 21-27 Watts. What a wonderful knock it gives. Not sharp poking but solid thumps. A few drags satisfies the nic/throat hit craving instantly.

The texture is quite coarse - I think it works well for the granola bar and oats flavour. This is a bold vape - full flavoured and as I said before it knocks hard. Perhaps a lower nic strength would be more mellow. In my view this juice definitely has all-day vapability potential. It's not too sweet and is very tasty.

The aftertaste is pretty similar to the main taste - savoury granola bar - and remains for a while - just without the bits in your teeth you get when eating granola bars It is pleasant.

The juice vaped beautifully in the Reo. Vaporises well. Being 100% VG, the vapour is way above average, so vapour lovers will enjoy this.

The only minor negative I could report on this juice was that being 100% VG it is thicker than normal and takes a bit longer to squonk on the Reo. One has to keep the little Reo bottle pressed for a bit longer than normal. Commercial tanks with slower wicks would probably struggle with this juice, so be careful.

I enjoyed this juice at all times of the day and night. In 18mg, it knocks hard and is not cheap, so I didn't use this as a "mindless vaping" juice. Instead, I had it set up in one device and enjoyed it several times a day or when I needed a thumping

I'm not sure who will like this juice. It's hard to liken it to other juices. I would imagine that if you like Granola bars and Tennis biscuits you will like this.

Packaging:
- I think the packaging is simple and effective.
- A typical squeezable plastic bottle with a child deterrent cap.
- The nozzle works well and despite the juice being thick, it's easy to aim and squirt with precision
- Labelling is decent - I like the way they clearly mark the nic strength with the big number in the middle. No messing around here. However, I did not see the 100% VG indication.

Equipment used:
- REO Grand/RM2 with 0.65 ohm para-coil - cotton wick - (21 to 27 Watts, depending on battery level)

Granola.. That's it!
No wonder it's so more'ish.

@Silver

this one one incredibly written review! I love the fact that you really take your time with your juices and it shows in your feedback.

You have hit the nail on the head with this one!

I was reading this review while vaping on my bobas, smiling, and nodding as I went through it.

Thank you for the review
