Mikes Mega Mixes - Juice Reviews

Biscuit Dreams - 6mg

Disclaimer :

As always - Taste is subjective, the impressions in this review are my own. You might have a different experience.

VG / PG :

70 / 30

Device :

eVic VT (using Temp Mode) – Billow V2

Coil Setup :

Dual 28g Nickel - 8 wraps - 2mm - 0.06 ohm

Wicking Material :

Japanese Cotton

Temp Control Setting :

I found my sweet spot for this juice at 260'C - 45W

Method of Vaping:

Straight lung hits.

Website Blurb :

Biscuit dream was initially going to be called Biscuit De Reims however it's grown into something far more than that. Buttery baked goodness, with a good hit of maillard. (Contains alcohol)


My Impressions :

I think I might be going a bit mad here, but I am getting biscuit and nuts (like hazelnut, but not quite) on the inhale. The biscuit has a slight tennis biscuit taste to it. Also get hints of butter / cream on inhale, but the nutty taste overpowers most of it. Exhale has the same taste. Throat hit is definitely present.

Final Notes :

I quite like this juice (in a weird kind of way). A break away from the norm of very sweet vapes. I also find that I have a slight salty taste on my lips after vaping this for a while, but that could just be my weird body… I think it needs a bit of refinement to be considered ADV, but not bad. Definitely has a “take me away from all the overly sweet everyday vapes” type of vibe to it.

One of the hardest reviews I have done. There are elements to this juice that I love and hate at the same time. Like the nutty flavor I get - I like it, but at the same time it just does not feel like it should be there? I am pretty sure that there is not a nut type flavor in here, and yet that is what I am tasting.


ADDED INFO : I have learned that the recipe has been altered slightly to remove a bit of the salty / nutty flavour and also to make it slightly sweeter. This should improve the juice. I have some coming in and will update my findings once I have had some time with the new recipe.

You Might Also Like :

Not too sure what to put here. I have not vaped a biscuit type juice that tastes close to this.

Avoid If :

You don’t like biscuits.

ADV?

No – But I suspect that the V2 recipe will bring it in contention for ADV

Great review. Reviews are hard work. Your effort is much appreciated. Love the pics you have included.

Thanks @Andre - The hardest here was trying to describe the taste. I mean I really like the taste but found it hard to describe exactly what it is i am tasting without sounding like I am bashing the juice. It really is unlike anything I have vaped before and it won't be to everyone's liking, but I found it different and refreshing.

 

[baksteen8168]

Thanks for the review @baksteen8168. That flavour is a real odd one I've been experimenting with. I ended up reducing it to 1/5th of the original amount. To put it in perspective, it's down from 0.2% to around 0.04% concentration and I think it's now spot on. It's quite curious as it's not a "commercial" concentrate but an actual single aroma / ester chain.

That said, the recipe has been heavily tweaked and it should still be very full mouthfeel with a strong biscuit and butter flavour while retaining that unique savoury taste.

Thank God, I thought I was going crazy tasting savory...

Anyway, like I said in the post to Andre, I liked the juice. Not ADV like, but definitely a I will buy again like. Will post a V2 review as soon as I have gone through a couple of tanks.

Biscuit Dreams V2 - 6mg

Disclaimer :
As always - Taste is subjective, the impressions in this review are my own. You might have a different experience.

VG / PG :

70 / 30

Device :

eVic VT (using Temp Mode) – Billow V2 (The Hoonicorn bottles are a Winner! They are much easier to work with than the other bottles)

Coil Setup :

Dual 28g Nickel - 8 wraps - 2mm - 0.06 ohm (as I got the V2 version of the juice, I did not change coils. Only rewicked with fresh Jap Cotton)

Wicking Material :

Japanese Cotton

Temp Control Setting :

I found my sweet spot for the V2 at 280'C - 45W

Method of Vaping:

Straight lung hits.

Website Blurb :

Biscuit dream was initially going to be called Biscuit De Reims however it's grown into something far more than that. Buttery baked goodness, with a good hit of maillard. (Contains alcohol)


My Impressions :

I still get the savoury / nutty taste, but it has toned down a lot. Sweet vanilla coming through on inhale as well as a smooth buttery and cream taste. Sweet and salty on the inhale and then it switches around to a salty with sweet kicker on the exhale.

Final Notes :

I liked the V1 version of this juice. I LOVE the V2 version of this even more. It has evolved completely from the first iteration into something wonderfully complex. The salty / sweet combination is a definite winner and a nice switch from the traditional overly sweet dessert type flavors. All the components in this work together beautifully to give a well balanced juice that people will surely enjoy. I will add that this will be a hit or miss juice. You will either love what it brings to the table, or absolutely hate it, but I suspect that most will enjoy this.


Accidentally discovered that vaping this while enjoying a cuppa brings out even more flavour, and I think that I will keep this loaded into a tank for when I have those oh so needed cups of coffee during the day.


You Might Also Like :

No other juice that I have tasted has the same flavour profile. Sure, there are hints of a couple of flavors, but nothing that I could put here that tastes the same.


Avoid If :
You prefer very sweet juices.

ADV?

Yes – will definitely have it with my cups of coffee.

Great review as always @baksteen8168. I'm always on the look out for somethjng that'll pair well with a strong cup of coffee.. Wish I could taste this juice, unfortunately I think this is one of the flavours that contain traces of alcohol if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you @skola - Yes it does. I take it you are Muslim or are you just avoiding Alc juices?

If you want to try some, I will be more than happy to send you a sample.

 

[Mike]

@skola hey man, I can make you a bottle without the alcohol concentrate. It won't be identical but I'll make some substitutions so it is similar if you'd like (hope I'm not breaking any rules here).

@baksteen8168 I couldn't describe it better myself Great review!!!

That is correct @baksteen8168. Don't be a bad influence

That's awesome @Mike!! That's great customer service!! I'll definitely take you up on that offer as I think another order of Dragon Juice is due.

Company: Mikes Mega Mixes

Product Name: Lime Party

Mod: IPV2

Watts/Volts: 14.5W / 4.3V

Atomiser: Youde IGO-W4

Coil Resistance: 1.3 Ohm

Wicking Material: Japanese Organic Cotton

Strength: 3mg

Blend: Max VG

Price: Sample

Reviewer Notes:

So Mike gave me a sample of what is called Lime Party, mixed to my preference being max VG. I am not a big fan of citrus and would not normally buy anything citrussy.

So I cleaned out the dripper, popped in a new coil and cotton and dripped some of this, and boy oh boy was I surprised.

Lime party will definitely be on my wanted list. It is a refreshing vape, sweet on the inhale and a hint of sour on the exhale. I expected a sour citrus bomb in my mouth, but as I mentioned it is a sweet fresh lime explosion.

I chase flavour and this in the IGO this juice is awesome, on to the EGO Mega with a standard Ti coil it was even better. I cannot find fault with this juice. I wouldn’t use it as an ADV but a once a week rotation it can definitely be. Overall awesome juice and good smooth vape with very nice flavour.

Similar to:

Nothing I ever tasted

Avoid if:

You hate citrus.

I will rate this a 4 : nomnomnom : very nom

StrawVana - 6mg

Disclaimer :

As always - Taste is subjective, the impressions in this review are my own. You might have a different experience.

VG / PG :

70 / 30

Device :

eVic VT (Kanthal) – Goblin V1.2

Coil Setup :

Dual 28g Kanthal - 2mm - 8 Wraps - 0.42ohm

Wicking Material :

Japanese Cotton

Wattage Setting:

28.2w Was my preferred Vape

Method of Vaping:

Straight lung hits.

Website Blurb :

Strawvana received it's name as a keepsake to my first customer. Strawberries and ice cream, not strawberry ice cream. Full mouthfeel with a hint of tartness from fresh strawberries.


My Impressions :

Tangy Raspberry with notes of Strawberry and a touch of Vanilla on the inhale. Strawberry shines through on exhale. Hints of Cream on both inhale and exhale.

Final Notes :

This is such a refreshing take on a Strawberry vape. There are plenty strawberry milkshake vapes out there, but this is not one of them. (nor is it trying to be one.) Wonderful Tangy Raspberries on the inhale accompanied by fresh strawberries, Sweet Cream and a touch of Vanilla. The exhale swaps the predominant flavor from Raspberry to Strawberry with the Sweet Cream holding it together beautifully.

Throat Hit :

Present, but not much.

You Might Also Like :

NCV - StrawBshake (But NCV is more on the milkshake side)

Avoid If :

Raspberry / Strawberry is not your thing

ADV?

Yes, Will do very well in summer on a nice hot day.

Lime Party – 3mg

VG / PG : 70 / 30

Device : SX Mini M – Class, Velocity RDA

Coil Setup : Dual 26g Kanthal. 2.5mm. 5 Wraps. 0.4 ohms

Wicking: Japanese Organic Cotton


Website Blurb:
Lime and pineapple contest for a spot on your palate while other fruits get funky, sweetening the party. Personally I find it tastes like a certain popular chewy sweet, while maintaining a true authentic sourness..

Reviewer Notes:
Sweet smooth pineapple on the inhale, slightly tarty lime on the exhale.

Just like Dragon Juice, this juice takes me back to a childhood memory. Sugus sweets.
There’s that distinct sweet pineapple taste on the inhale, so similar to the pineapple flavoured Sugus sweets. Not a sharp sweetness, it’s very smooth. The lime controls the sweetness of the pineapple. Gives you a slight tarty kick. This is such a refreshing juice.

Throat Hit: Prevalent due to the tartyness of the lime.

ADV? Most Definitely!! Will be very refreshing during the summer.

Very accurate review imo, thanks. Yes, just like those Sugus sweets now that you mention it.
What is your preferrred power for this juice?

Thanks @Andre. The similarity is uncanny. After a few toots I found myself reminiscing about when my grandfather used to give me those Sugus sweets..
With the Velocity I was at about 40W. I've got it in the Billow 2 now and at 30W with a dual 26g Kanthal build I'm getting more of the Pineapple sweetness.

What's your sweet spot with this juice?

I have been sampling it in a RM2 on the Reo Mini at about 0.8 ohms (around 22W).

Got some of Mikes mixes today strawvana and ashybac.The juice is just too thick for my ego one, so I'll keep it till I get another device.I did however test the strawberry.I didn't taste any strawberry though,it tasted like cherry.No other flavor came through for me.

Lately I've taken to diluting all my juices with PG instead of the usual VG. And it's a massive improvement for me. No flavour loss, mixes very well and of course works great in any device. Perhaps you should give it a try.

I just dripped some Strawvana and I definitely taste strawberries and creaminess.
