I am pretty new to vaping, and for the past 2 weeks have solely relied upon the cartridges available from SKYCIG (mainly Crown Tobacco, Regular Tobacco and Cinnamon). However, they're pretty expensive at almost £2 each, and I use 2 a day - so I (novicely) shopped around online for some e-juice that didn't break the bank to try and get familiar with flavours and how they worked just topping up my cigalike cartridges.
It might not be something you 'higher-plane vapers' are interested in, but to some newbies looking for something a little cheaper (like I was) and being disappointed, then I think this review will help.
the following are available at simplyeliquid.co.uk
Flavours are available in zero nicotine, 5mg, 11mg, 18mg, 26mg and 36mg.
Bottles are 30ml (PG) for around £7.75
Chocolate
Is utterly revolting - unless you're into prune juice! It is very sickly sweet and leaves a brandy liquor taste in your mouth afterwards, but not a pleasant one - it's never seen chocolate i'm afraid - I do not recommend this flavour from this company AT ALL - yuk! Don't waste your money
Cinnamon
Pretty dull to be honest. My SKYCIG Cartridge cinnamon flavour was really punchy, with a good throat hit and reminded me of those fireball gobstoppers as a kid. The simplyeliquid was very bland in comparison and I would not recommend this flavour from them it's not that pleasant and has no kick.
State Express Tobacco
Now this wasn't half bad. It's not very smooth with a slightly gritty taste, but it gave me a good kick and throat hit. I actually quite like this flavour. It reminds me of my conventional ciggie and I enjoy vaping with it now and again, but not too much as it tastes a little harsh after a while. I would recommend this flavour though for a true tobacco taste, it's better than some other tobacco flavours I have tried.
Sorry, after 2 days of vaping this flavour it's suddenly turned into diesel fumes. It's pretty horrible - It tasted OK initially, but I am not getting any pleasure from this flavour - another wasted £7.75!!
Coffee
If you like your coffee fresh-ground, soily/earthy and extremely bitter tasting yet watery, then I guess this is for you - but I don't, preferring an espresso or americano deep, smooth creamy flavour. I would not recommend this flavour on it's own at all personally... however.....
Almond - which was hideous alone, mixed 6 drops with 4 drops of coffee is TOTALLY AMAZING. OMG it's just absolute heaven. I can't get enough of these flavours mixed up - wow, smooth, sweet like an Amaretto cappuccino - fantastic - and together for the price of under £15 for 60ml, these two flavours will be on my shopping list for life. Cheap, but amazing - try it for yourself I guarantee you won't be disappointed with this taste
Again, after 2 days of vaping the almond and coffee together it's turned into a bitter and sickly mix. It's not altogether unpleasant, but I'd rather pay silly money for my SKYCIG cartridges than have to stick with these - apologies for being misleading!!
Thanks, hope these reviews helped others not make the buying mistakes I did!
