Pity, I was hoping for a good Pineapple, thanks for the honest review, Silver.Hi all
I am now commencing my second round of reviews of various additional Vapour Mountain ready-made juices which I have not tried before.
In my first round I reviewed LITCHI, BERRY BLAZE, VM4, BANANA CREAM, MANGO, PEACH ROOIBOS, MENTHOL ICE and VANILLA CUSTARD. My outright favourites of that batch were LITCHI and PEACH ROOIBOS. My reviews of these juices can be found earlier in this thread.
In the line up for this round of reviews is PINEAPPLE, PASSION PEACH, TAURUS, POLAR MINT, CHOC MINT and MARSHMALLOW. I will be reviewing these over the coming week or so.
They are all 10ml sample bottles. I got them from Vapour Mountain (@Oupa) and they cost R50 each. According to Vapour Mountain, they are "mostly 50/50 or 60/40 PG/VG blends". I got the 18mg nicotine strength.
The first one is PINEAPPLE. Here goes
Vapour Mountain PINEAPPLE (18mg)
It's average, not was I was hoping for.
The pineapple taste is there, but it's a muted, dull sweet taste. I was hoping for something more punchy and vibrant like the sweet and sour taste you get when biting into a perfect pineapple. But it was not to be. The bit of flavour that is there is sweet like a slightly over-ripe pineapple but dulled. I picked up no layering of flavours. This one tastes like a single flavour as the name would suggest. It's not unpleasant at all and it does taste like pineapple, but it's too subdued for me. I gave it a chance over several tanks and vaped it almost exclusively for 2 days, but just couldn't get excited about it.
The aftertaste is very slight and also a bit dull. It disappears fairly quickly.
I found the throat hit was low to medium. Two or more drags started tickling my throat but not that much.
Vapour production was good, something I have noticed with most of Vapour Mountain's juices.
Overall, this juice was disappointing. I was hoping for something with more flavour and vibrancy. I won't be re-ordering.
Equipment used: Protank 2 Mini, Standard 2.2 ohm coil (measuring 2.25 ohms on the Sigelei ohm meter), Vision Spinner VV battery set to 4.1 Volts (implying about 7.5 Watts).
Packaging
I generally like the simple packaging of the Vapour Mountain juices. It's a simple squeezable plastic bottle with an easy to remove cap. It is labelled with the flavour and nicotine strength. However I feel there are some areas where the packaging and labelling could be improved:
- the bottle does not have child friendly caps
- there is no date of production
- the PG/VG ratio is not displayed
- and to be picky, the flavour label is a bit small
In my next review I will include a photo of the juice bottle for those that haven't seen it before.
That's good to know, thanks for clearing up. Excellent review btw @Silver1, i just wanted to check whether your perception hasn't changed with 5P. But since you mention you still love your PR, its all good.Thanks for the feedback @Zodiac.
You are quite right that one's perception can change depending on what you've tasted before.
And yes, you're right, my last review before this was the Five Pawns juices.
However i have VM's Peach Rooibos in my other Protank as well and am still loving it. So Five Pawns hasnt changed how i feel about Peach Rooibos.
As for packaging, yes, my review of Five Pawnsgot me thinking more about packaging
Its not that im spoilt Im just learning whats possible...
But i take your point fully.
Despite my shortcomings i have highlighted on the VM packaging, its still good and It would not stop me from buying more.
Looking forward to what @Oupa does with the Legends line
My daughter is almost 2 years old, and she always seems to go for my e-juice bottles.. I really do feel a tiny bit less worried with the "child safety " caps.. I can see how she keeps turning and turning with no luck.. she eventually gives up and moves on to her next obstacle. No matter what safety these bottles have, I will never trust any of it with my child . In the end, it's my responsibility to keep it out of her reach at all times.. sorry for blubbering lol
There's an old saying, there's no such thing as a child-proof cap
My son at 2, got the child proof cap off a Jik bottle, in about 2 seconds flat - the jik was in a cupboard with child-proof safety latches
Imported from rtsvapes.comThanks @Matthee
Where did you get the 100mg PG nic?
Glad you enjoy it! Not for the faint-hearted!
