What Did You Vape Today?

Hi there,
So I finally got my Mod and RTA sorted the way I like, Sigelei 150W and Goblin RTA with a 1.0ohm build, Vapes like a dream,
I have been playing around with some juice 6mg and 0mg,
Is there anyone that would sponsor me some Juice to try ? JHB area would be easier for me to collect,
Also willing to purchase some international juice you don't like ...

Interesting combo @BuzzGlo
I have tried adding menthol concentrate to my VM Banana Cream before and really didnt like it at all. I prefer the menthol with strawberry or other mixed fruits. Not sure if it was the banana or the cream part of banana cream - but it didnt taste nice. I see your mix includes banana cinnamon. Maybe the cinammon makes it better. How much of the Straws Menthol do you put in?

Got a SkyBlue tasting kit. So loaded 2 flavors into the RDA's.
Melinda's Nilla Custard - awesome flavor
Amaretto - Not really my cup of tea, but not that bad either.

And then, Jimmy the Juice Man Creme Brûlée. Sjeez, this will be a definite keeper. The burnt sugar is there with a light taste of banana when exhaling.

That Creme Brulee looks interesting!
 
@Alex what's this Axel that you keep on talking about. Cannot find it anywhere.

It's like Nanner Bear, and then... I sometimes change it to Polar Bear. (Made by @VapeGrrl)

Grizzly Vapes is the creation of resident ECR chemist Walter /u/Lolerwaffles sold by Lance at SteamMonkey.com.


All liquids were reviewed at 6mg predominantly on a dripper. I only have 10,000 characters here, so let’s cut to it.


Nanner Bear

First, a bit on isoamyl acetate. This is the organic compound used to impart a banana flavor to foods, candies, drinks and in many cases e-liquid. Isoamyl acetate occurs naturally in bananas and has a strong, characteristic odor and flavor you may associate with Runts banana candies. As you’ll read in the Wikipedia entry, the odor is strong enough that it’s used to test the efficacy of gas masks. Also note the acetate portion of the name; its somewhat corrosive nature explains why many banana liquids tend to be tank crackers (or will dissolve your syringes if you’re into DIY). Alone, it tends to be a very one-note flavor and without supporting elements it will leave you with a very run-of-the-mill banana juice.

Nanner Bear is not a run-of-the-mill banana juice.

Spend a bit of time around ECR and you’ll read people positively gushing over this liquid. Across the board, you'll read the terms "complex," "unique" and even “completely indescribable.” It’s a careful and deliberate mix of flavors that truly exemplifies the use of balance and proportion in creating a flavor profile.

The primary component is unsurprisingly banana. However, in Nanner Bear it’s the experience of a banana. Unsupported isoamyl acetate yields the generic candy banana flavor. Where candy gives you an impression of the fruit, Nanner Bear gives you the full effect of sinking your teeth into a fresh, starchy banana. “Starchy” is the best descriptor of the banana element. It feels creamy in texture and massive, although it does not even hint at a cream flavor. There’s a heavy shade of taro here that enhances the “real banana” effect while also lending a flavor of it’s own. I’m reminded of taro mochi. The two complementary flavors form a provocative mixture that simultaneously augments each flavor alone and showcases both as distinct constituents.

Behind the banana and taro is a bed of nutty texture and a vague impression of smooth tobacco. Neither flavor is definitively identifiable as a specific nut or tobacco, but they’re present and serve to give the juice body. They also cast a welcome and earthy contrast to the liquid’s primary flavor. Nanner Bear is not a sweet liquid, relying more on the interplay of flavors to entertain your tastebuds instead of a banal sugar stimulation.

Nanner Bear still has another trick up it’s sleeve: an intriguing herbal “cooling” effect. It’s not menthol, mint, koolada, or anything like you’ve previously tasted in an e-liquid. It’s prominence varies depending on your equipment and even your mood, but regardless of these variables it’s sure to give you pause. I liken it to the ammonium ferric citrate tone found in Irn Bru soda or Scottish Saltire rock candy. It’s a tiny bit citrusy, a tiny bit anesthetic, and completely entrancing. I find myself chain vaping as I toy around with intensity of this herbal element.

Dissecting the components of Nanner Bear – while entertaining – forsakes the forest for the trees. Besides, I’m probably wrong about all this. Superlatives and flavor-guessing is only part of the equation.The real show here is the delicate and razor-sharp contrast of ingredients that meld into a cohesive yet peculiar flavor. The result is a considered e-liquid assembled with a watchmaker’s care.

Nanner Bear is a liquid where “just try it” truly has merit. Each session – each drag – affords a distinct and singular experience.

Bottom Line: Vapers’ Rubik’s Cube™.

93/100

Polar Bear

Polar Bear is Nanner Bear frozen with a dose of Axiom Vaping’s Icicles. I love menthol and I especially love Icicles (see my review).

The addition of Icicles to the Nanner Bear base does more than simply mentholate the flavor. I won’t rehash Nanner Bear; all its trappings are here as well. Icicles brightens each individual segment of the Nanner Bear flavor, allowing each to shine. It acts as glue, cementing the overall flavor profile into a refined and distinguished unit.

In particular, the minty menthol most accentuates the nutty, tobacco and herbal details. It’s refreshing and clean, yet the menthol does not linger or taint your mouth to other flavors.

At the risk of underselling Polar Bear, I don’t have much more to say. It’s a better Nanner Bear, and an otherworldly flavor in its own right.

Bottom Line: **** You. Polar Bear.

99/100

Koko Bear

Koko Bear is a darker take on the Nanner Bear base adding cocoa and a few other subtle tones to the mix. A restrained tinge of chocolate pervades both the inhale and exhale. The cocoa is semi-sweet, sharing characteristics with both velvety milk chocolate and brooding cocoa nibs. It doesn’t smack you in the face but is well-defined and an indisputable element of the flavor.

There’s a subdued vanilla pitch reminiscent of raw vanilla beans rather than sweetened vanilla extract. I get faint and intermittent wisps of the flavor, appearing only when necessary to balance things out. Koko Bear also delivers a hazy note of a hearty sweet-meal digestive biscuit. It’s oaty and mature, acting as a pleasant juxtaposition to chocolate and vanilla.

Koko Bear is a “take two” on Nanner Bear; a different prong on the same fork. It takes the flavor in a slightly different direction but feels like an “alternate ending” for Nanner. The banana is slightly less apparent but still an integral component. The flavor profile is a bit more sure of itself. It’s Nanner Bear for the evening; Nanner Bear After Dark. I like both exactly equally.

Bottom Line: Leather-bound, antique Nanner Bear.
