Review Week 4

Welcome to week 4!
I've decided to delay my RDA and Build review till next Saturday, for two reasons.
First, it's not actually the last week of the month, and second, I have a Chuff tip being sent to me from Syntheticloud that I'd like to include in the review.



Also, there was no community recommendation this week, so I've decided to do 3 designer juices. Two purchasable locally, and one that I ordered. 

That out of the way, lets get to the juices!
 

Designer One


Flavor: Cake Hole
 
Company: Flavour Snobz inc. VG Circus line
 
PG/VG Ratio: 20/80
 
Nic Content: 3mg
 
Company Profile: A Cherry Cake you won't believe! Better than Betty in every bottle we guarantee.
 
Vendor: Rock Vapor  
 
Vaped On: Aeolus v2 Pro w/ dual 26g Twisted Nichrome 80 on a Silver Wolf Warrior Mech Mod.

Bouquet: White Cake, light cherry scent.

Taste/Inhale: Sweet, creamy.

Exhale/Aroma: Maraschino Cherry, White Cake, Vanilla

Flavor: Cherry Pound Cake/Cherry Loaf
 
Personal Opinion: This flavor is as delicious as it is potent.
The cherry flavor is a bold candy flavor, tasting more like maraschino cherries. As a huge cherry fan, I enjoy this greatly. Most artificial cherry flavors end up tasting like more of a halls cherry flavor, which I find just reminds most of a medicine flavor. (Hence why cherry flavors are few and far between)
The white cake is a perfect complement to this flavor, rounding out what would otherwise be an overpowering cherry flavor.
The vanilla helps to round out the vape, giving it a smooth, yet sweet flavor.
Being a huge fan of sweets, I've adopted this flavor as my current all day vape, although be warned that it's not for everyone. The flavor is incredibly potent, and may simply be too sweet for some. I could see it being a much milder flavor in a cloud chasing rig, giving great flavor, and great vapor with it's high VG count. Thankfully rock vapor allows you to sample flavors before you try them, so be sure to drop down and give this one a shot!

Designer Two


Flavor: Lusso
 
Company: Xanic Blanc, by Cartel
 
PG/VG Ratio: 30/70
 
Nic Content: 3mg
 
Company Profile: Melona Milk Ice Pops
 
Vendor: Spyder Vapes (www.spydervapes.com)
 
Vaped On: Aeolus v2 Pro w/ dual 26g Twisted Nichrome 80 on a Silver Wolf Warrior Mech Mod.

Bouquet: Melons, Cream

Taste/Inhale: Sweet, Creamy, Menthol

Exhale/Aroma: Light Melon, Milk, Vanilla, Menthol

Flavor: Melona Milk Ice Pops
 
Notes: The Xanic Blanc line comes in 3 sizes, 18ml, 30ml, and 60ml. Strangely, the 18ml bottle comes in a tall unicorn like bottle, with a pump style top. As intriguing as the bottle is, I believe it's a huge design flaw.
The bottle dispenses juice fine, but due to the thin shape of the bottle, and lack of air inside it's hard to stir up the juice once it settles. So much so that attempting the flavor from inside that bottle, left me with a vape simply tasting of a sharp alcohol. No amount of shaking would correct the problem. I was finally left having to pry the top off, and transfer it to one of my own 30ml bottles, to shake it up, and air it out to remove the alcoholic taste.
After settling for a day, I was finally able to attempt the flavor. 
Due to this, I can't recommend at all purchasing the 18ml bottles. I purchased the entire line of flavors, and experienced the same issue with each flavor, with absolutely no distinction in flavor from each of the bottles.
While the bottle is interesting, sacrificing flavor for bottle design in a high end line, is completely unacceptable. 
 
Personal Opinion: This flavor is unique, and curious to say the least. It has very mild honeydew melon tones, mixed with a vanilla milk flavor.
I say milk, as the vanilla seems more refreshing, and not as thick as a traditional cream flavor.
The menthol is light, providing more of a cooling feeling, than a full menthol.
The flavor is a great replica of a Melona Milk Ice pop, even in feeling. Unfortunately though the flavor is light, even in a tuned flavor chaser. I would have expected better quality control, and more defined flavor from a company such as Cartel.

Designer Three


Flavor: Root Beer Float
 
Company: Dr. Fog by Premium Labs
 
PG/VG Ratio: "MAX VG" (Feels like 15/85)
 
Nic Content: 0mg
 
Company Profile: Your favourite rootbeer loaded with french vanilla ice cream.
 
Vendor: Vapour Trails
 
Vaped On: Aeolus v2 Pro w/ dual 26g Twisted Nichrome 80 on a Silver Wolf Warrior Mech Mod.

Bouquet: Root Beer

Taste/Inhale: Sweet

Exhale/Aroma: Root Beer, Vanilla

Flavor: Root Beer Float
 
Personal Opinion: This flavor is pretty on point. The flavor reminds me of an A&W root beer lolly pop, with a nice addition of cream. With potent flavor and great vapor, it's a perfect flavor for a flavor chaser using a cloud chasing build. In my Phenotype-L with dual 24g macro coils, and massive airflow, the flavor still stands out. I use the flavor, being a 0mg, to practice tricks. If you want flavor, vapor, and dig root beer, definitely give this flavor a try.
