Hawk Sauce

Today's juice we'll be talking about is from where I was born ( well, close enough)

Mt Baker Vapor's HAWK SAUCE.

I have had the oportunity to try this juice in two different nicotine strengths and with an extra flavor shot in one bottle.

The first time I tried it, the bottle's liquid was clear and clear can be, extra flavor shot, 12mg.

Today, the bottle I have is orange ( Not sure why the inconsistency, but i'm not picky) and an 18mg ( My preferred vape level.)



Hawk Sauce:

First off, the vapor production on this juice is about average. No billowing fog rolling over the hills kinda production, but when you exhale you won't squinch up your face in confuse of " where's mah vapor" either. Throat hit is mild and soft, even at an 18mg. I have to steal a description from a friend on this one.... because this is a complex juice to figure out HOW to explain what you're tasting and she pegged it...

Go wash your hair.... but specifically go wash your hair with some Herbal Essence shampoo... you know that delicious smell that hits your nose... That is exactly what this juice tastes like to me... but in a good way, I promise. The berry and the very slight bit of menthol mix very well. The company description says other fruits are involved in this concoction, though I cannot place them at ALL because it blends together into good combination. If I had not been told there was menthol in this, I never would have figured out it was in there.

If you're looking for a strange juice to try, and you like sour berry flavors, this is a good one to attempt. I give it a strong 4/5.

Now, all taste is subjective... It's hard to go out and buy a juice cause someone else liked it and find out you wasted a chunk of money on something you do not care for.. Mt Baker Vapor has really low prices and claim to ship in 24 hours... That's always a plus!!

I have heard hit or miss on many of their flavors, but I look forward to attempting some more in the future!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

The Ice..The Ice...The Ice is on..FIRE!

Hello Hello, At this moment I have juice filled my tank with something I have never tried before. I have no preconcived notions on what it is, what it tastes like or anything....


Joost Ice on Fire:
Upon opening the bottle, the immediate smell of menthol and cinnamon fill my nose.... Which, is what I expected from anything named " Ice on Fire". So, I am a nervous nelly when it comes to cinnamon juices... So out comes the mini protank...
First take, my lips are BURNING ( not painfully but you deffinately feel it) and I am instantly reminded of Atomic Breath drops... but like you used the cinnamon AND the menthol ones at the same time. Throat hit is STRONG but not burning.... Very Minty, Very Cinnamony. I couldn't vape this all day long, but as a just before bed after brushing my teeth, Oh yeah.... That would be the perfect time for this one in my opinion. If you're a menthol lover or a cinnamon lover, I'd deffinately give this one a go go go. ( Fair warning.. if you have a tank that ' spits' on you... don't put this in it...this stuff DOES burn when it comes in contact with your skin.) I wish I had more to say about this one, but its very simple and very pleasant. 4/5

( In another note: Yes, I know you can see a pack of cigarettes in the back ground of this photo. They are not mine so stop giving me that look. :P )

Love to you all,

Vape United is making me it's dirty dirty slut...

I am in now way officiated with vape united ( I wish I was, but Justin said I'd have to win the lottery, buy the company and walk around dressed up like ABBY from NCIS and I can only accomplish that last part right now) Vape United has quality flavours, a great variety and REALLY good prices ( $5 for 10ml.... I know places who do $10 for 10ml so when you're broke, Vape United makes things easier there)

I will be reviewing 5 of Vape United line right now ( which brings me up to 8 I've tried from them)

Let's start by taking now, the bottles have changed since my last order with him. The bottles are slightly translucent, easy to see how much is left with a green cap. They are child proof ( ha, resistant.. nothing is really child proof) and have a needle nose dripper now and make filling up a tank EASY! These bottles are also soft and easy to squeeze which I LOVE. First up!
 ( Vape United's standard brew is a 60pg/40vg, I custom order 50/50 so keep that in mind)
Ginger Brulee: First hit I took of this was very VERY sharp ginger burning the back of my throat. Delicious but VERY strong upon that first taste. I luckily, LOVE ginger, so this isn't an issue for me. BUT it might be offsetting to anyone attempting this at first. Keep at it... TRUST me... Upon exhale, I detected slight creaminess... But the ginger was lingering and making it hard to taste anything else... set it down for a bit... but came back to it.... same burn at first, but I decided to chain vape this for a minute while I messed around on facebook.. Like magic, once my taste buds accepted they were going to be abused with the ginger, they decided to quit complaining and try and find other flavours... it transformed into a very VERY creamy brulee taste with tasty sharp hits if ginger here and there.... it reminds me a lot of candied ginger... sweet and spicy..mixed into a creme brulee, which is one of my favourite desserts. Once you get used to that sharpness, the throat hit is fantastic, vapour production is about average in my opinion, but I can keep vaping this no problems! Not an all day vape, it does dry my throat out a bit from all that spicy ginger, but gotta give it a 3.8/5

Irish Cream: I wanted to love this immediately. I couldn't.... It didn't have a big taste at first..... inhale or exhale. It did leave a VERY irish cream " Creamy alcohol" taste in the back of my tongue after vaping it... But was a little disappointed at first.... I grew to accept it wouldn't be exactly like taking a sip of the drink and have grown to enjoy it immensely though. It's an all day vape for me, but I wish the lingering taste at the end would be there the whole time instead of just at the end. After steeping about a week and a half, it has mellowed together a little better, More of a whiskey intake with a creamy exhale and the Irish Cream lingering on your tongue. Like I said. I want to LOVE this so bad.. But it just isn't quite as magically overpowering as I'd expect on something immitating an alcoholic beverage. It does have a nice throat hit and wonderful vapour production though. Gunna give a 3.5/5 on this one.

Latakia: on the site this as a very simple little note from myJuice Pimp Justin: "Closest to a Cigarette, and Still Great Tasting "
I honestly think vape united did a good job making a tobacco that tastes LIKE a cigarette. Of course, it's not quite there, but VERY close. This has a good throat hit, great vapour production. Although it's not a 'flattering' description, the best way I can describe it IS that it has that " stale " cigarette after taste... But that's what it was going for was tasting like a REAL cigarette. It reminds me more of a nail brand cigarette over a cheap l&m or a pallmall. Think more, Camel or Marlboro. I personally feel as far as a tobacco goes, this is a good one. It doesn't taste like Meth or Must to me, which is what most tobaccos end up tasting like. On a side note: This one is GREAT to mix with fruit flavours as well. Boyfriends personal favourite is blueberry. It doesn't muddle with the blueberry, you still taste sweet blueberries while enjoying the cigarette taste to it. If you've had a hard time finding  a tobacco that reminded you of a cigarette, this is worth a shot. 4/5



Dragon Fruit : Slightly sweet on the intake and exotic deliciousness on the exhale. The flavor is mild but sooo good. Lingers on my tongue in a pleasant way. Deffinately a great mild sweet fruit. Nothing over powering about it but no way bland. Throat hit is very very mild though, and average vapor production. I think this one would be good mixed into other things as well. Not an all day vape but it is very refreshing to me. 3/5


Candy Corn Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... THIS is that moment I immediately regret ONLY getting a 10ml to start. Sweet intake and the second you exhale... Vanilla...Caramel.... no....not quite... the flavours are there with a creaminess and something I just can't place... I want to drink this. It's liquid essence of candy corn..... perfection in a green capped bottle. The throat hit is perfect in my opinion, and I like a throat hit, but I do not like to gag from it or cough. Good vapour production on this one... All day vape for both me and my boyfriend...... 6/5 ( Yes, I can do that I have the reviewing power)


Vape it up lovely people...

Leprechaun's luck!

What should you do if there is a bottle of juice that you just...can't vape...sitting in your box giving you dirty looks? Well, Trade it of course! I managed to hit a very lucky moment in getting rid of my bottle of pluid ( about 26ml of a 30ml bottle left) for 29ml left of a 30ml bottle of Jameson's Irish Vapor Juice in Peaches & Cream.

Jameson's is similar to Pluid in the sense of, if you find it, you better buy it.

I liked the Jameson's facebook page and they were announcing 3 weeks ahead of time that Peaches & Cream would be back in stock in 3 weeks.... That's a long time to wait for juice...Then again, I'm a woman, and I like instant gratification.







Jameson's Irish Vapor Juice Peaches & Cream:
To start off,  I had only vaped at 18mg when I received this, and its a huge ole 24mg. Talk about a head rush at first. But I didn't let that stop me from sampling it..... Then quickly using up a good 10ml of it. Upon the first inhale, my mouth was very peachy. Not so much a fresh bite of a peach, but more Peach Juice. Reminded me a lot of the Kern's peach juices I used to drink as a kid. Nothing " candied peaches" about the fruit tone in this one. It tastes very organic. Then you exhale. THIS surprised me to no end at first. I was expecting a vanillay icecreamy taste and was pleasantly shocked to find it was nothing of the sort. The exhale was heavy whipping cream. Straight up. No extra sweetness to it. It even left a crazy creamy feel on my mouth as if I'd just ate a fresh bowl of peaches and cream. It was HEAVENLY. Now, as time has passed. The flavours have mellowed together and are still very enjoyable... Think more, putting a peach in the blender with some heavy cream and making a smoothy with it instead of eating them together... the flavour it still great, and I can vape this all day long. Very smooth throat hit and clouds of vapour production every time. I cannot get enough of this one personally. 5/5

On a side note of subjectivity: my boyfriend nearly spit after trying this, and yes, I did look at him like he was insane.

If you have the chance to get your hands on this, I highly recommend it.

Niquid SUBLIME

If I were a video reviewer, I would have to start this review off with a sublime song... but I'm not... so you'll have to hum it while you read. Deal?

Today we'll be reviewing a Niquid juice. This juice came crashing into my life by a good friend of mine describing it as " It makes me want to vomit in my mouth". So she gave it to me ( My friends are awesome. Wouldn't trade them for the world) because after reading up on what this juice was, I KNEW my boyfriend would fall in love with it...

If you've read my past posts, you'll know... He tends to love things that make me want to shrivel up and die from. However, I am determined to write up on EVERY juice that touches my lips that I have a bottle in hand to photograph. Not just for you guys, but also as reference for myself... One day I might go " Hey... I want that.. Ooh what was that juice" and I can pop on here and go OH YEAH... that one tasted like the inside of a cast.... Nope..." ( Credit to " inside of a cast will go to MissAudrey.... I had to use it... it makes me giggle)

This juice is a 12 mg nicotine level ( I usually vape at a steady 18. it's my comfort zone, kinda like a girls period yoga pants)





Niquid Sublime:
This juice has a great instant menthol throat hit. Upon first vaping, the lime was VERY strong to me... But grabbing it back up, the Menthol hits first and hard with more of a lime undertone. Vapor production is decent. Not fogging out the room but a satisfying exhale. The mentol in this one really lingeres on my tongue, very similarly to having just brushed your teeth. Deffinately a mojito feel to this. I will disclose. I do not like this juice. It's not bad juice though, the quality is good in my opinion, it's just not a flavour I would personally scoop up... The boyfriends responce to this " oooh yeah... send that bottle to work with me"... which is a good thing because he usually grumbles about my selection I send with him. Over all, Good quality, the flavor is dead on to what it's suppose to be. Just not for me. A 3.5/5

Always keep in mind, tastes are very subjective. No two people will love all the same juices. Even though I do not like this one, I can tell its well done for what its suppose to be. If you like strong menthol, give this one a shot.


Until next time,

<3Lividrose

Local vape shop Juice Review: Whim Wham Vapes

The closest vape shop is 40 minutes away from me ( My good friend Audrey's lucky butt lives like 5 minutes from it) So Although I have not had the chance to go to it , I have had the opportunity to sample some of the juices.

The place is called Whim Wham Vapes and it is located in a small city of Pendleton, South Carolina.

I tried a few flavours my friend had and some of the flavour was good, I enjoyed the sticky bun for sure and the blueberry tart wasn't bad either.... Since I dont have those readily available to ponder over and vape a minute, I'll review the one I was given....

RY3...

I've never done an RY anything....I'd never even heard of Ry3, Ry4, yeah but Ry3.... whatchoo talkin about Willis? So I have no idea WHAT this is actually suppose to taste like, and I won't be googling it until AFTER I write up my review, then we'll see what its suppose to be..

First off, I am a little concerned by the label straight up saying " China Liquid RY#"
Everything I have heard about " china liquids" involves icky chemicals..... Not so great flavours... and I am actually disapointed that a local vapour shop would repackage and relabel a china made juice with their label.... Not sure why, but that seems like.. Cheating?

The reason my friend gave me this juice is she didn't like the flavour , it made her gag... and the throat hit burned her throat.. I love a good throat hit...


So here we truely begin:

RY3: Strong throat hit... Not over powering but it feels great... Vapour production is decent..not thick billowy clouds.. reminds me of the smoke you blow off a cigarette drag though... As for the flavour? hmmmm... lightly sweet... I would personally place it as apply... almost asian pear... but... not? To me it also tastes  a little tobacco-y... Over all... There isn't a strong flavour to this and there is DEFFINATELY a chemically taste.... It's not unvapeable... but would deffinately be a " broke week can't order juice" vape... I have been vaping this all day to try and see if it grew on me, and it  just hasn't...... once this tank is empty, I will be cleaning it out and putting something delicious in it....
I can only give this a 1.5/5


UPDATE: Upon my research... i've found people say RY3 is a " tobacco Caramel", A "tobacco Vanilla" or a " tobacco Coffee"..... I didn't get ANY of that from this... Come on people :P a LITTLE standardization would be nice!

Until next time,
Vape on!

The Mad Alchemist ( Original Line)

This has been my grandest prize of all! seven 30ml bottles ( The entire original line) of The Mad Alchemist E-Juice.

These juices are available at www.themadalchemist.com .
The Mad Alchemist is a fun company to follow on facebook. They have a great theme to them, a fun fantasy/scientist game along with beautiful labelled bottles, fantastic fantasy witchy poetic write ups before the descriptions. They mailed my juice with a ton of confetti ( my 3 year old loved that... I'm still finding pieces around the house)

The website has beautifully chosen photos for each juice. I am in LOVE with their whole page lay out.....

But, anyone with knowledge of web design an create a beautiful site... Can they create beautiful juice? Let this analysis begin..

All these are a 50pg/50vg at an 18mg Nicotine level.
First up in our Potion cue will be :

 Winters Bite: THIS one won me over very quickly. A crisp and cool menthol with nice vanilla. Neither of these flavours was an over tone or an under tone but a great smooth collaboration between the two. It reminded me of my favourite mouth wash ( I love vanilla mint)with out the icky dental feel to it. This quickly became an all day vape for me. The throat hit is nice and cool, not a menthol burn I've experienced with my other  menthol adventures. Vapour production is nice and thick. You'll definitely feel like you're blowing out winter clouds with this one. A firm 5/5 from me.
 Eye of Newt: I immediately fell in love with this label. But, I tend to have a weakness for green ( and purple... can you guess my favourite colours?)
I was a tad nervous to try this after my distain for Lemon, seeing as this is a lime... however, it's a gorgeous gorgeous blend of lime and cream. VERY Key-limey BUT not so much a keylime pie... It reminded me greatly of a Lemon Merange Pie ( mmm) BUT instead of lemon you used keylimes... Keylime intake with a smooth creamy exhale. I vape this stuff all day long. It is a strong rich flavour with out being overpowering. If your common complaint on juice is " it doesn't really have a flavour" this one will not disapoint you. Vapor production is very nice. I like being able to blow plumes as I exhale. Throat hit is nice. I am in love with this particular juice..5/5 all across the board... I'd even say I'd give it an extra .5 points over my scaling system because it's just pleasantly addicting
 Potion of Spring Blossoms: This one is a melon with light pineapple undertones... However, the melon doesn't come through strongly at all to me. The Pineapple does. Its a very light flavouring, the throat hit is very mild and the vapour production is light as well. Its definitely a light crisp flavour, but over all, did not wow or amaze me. It's pleasant, but not an all day vape for me. 3/5
 Dragons Breath : This one, I was intimidated to try. Its a cinnamon with raspberry.. a Combination I was not sure I was going to like.. I love raspberry... and I love Cinnamon.. But, those two are not things I usually think ' Hey! I bet this would taste Amazeballs together'. I was pleasantly surprised. I have heard through many a grape vine that Cinnamon Juices tend to crack plastic, do I did not even let this stuff touch one of my ce4 clearomizers. I fixed up my Kanger mini protank ( That Pluid ate up one of the seals previously. With the kanger on an ego battery... The vapour production as decent with a nice sharp cinnamon throat hit... However... Variable voltage it up to a 4.4 ( Turns out my ego upgrades do that.. I should read more often) Created a MUCH stronger throat hit and really increase the intense flavour.. how as this flavour? GOOD. The Cinnamon is definitely the strong note.. Very Cinnamon candy.. Reminds me of Hot Tamales' Candies or those Cinnamon Dot things I used to steal out of my mothers baking supplies cupboard... that was a huge hit with me.. You can't tell there is Raspberry so much.. Definitely taste there is something else that mellows the cinnamon out a bit.. But if I didn't KNOW it was raspberry, I never would have guessed it. Enjoy this greatly, though I will say it tends to dry my throat out quickly! That being said, I am willing to have a drink on hand to vape this bad boy. Strong 4/5.
 Fairy Dust : Instant love for the bottle. I'm a Fairy Princess and none of you can convince me otherwise. However, This juice here isn't blowing my mind sadly. Its suppose to be a Melon, Crisp Apple and  Juicy pear... I get more sweet pear taste then anything.... But none of the flavours are strong and have kind of muddled together into a blah juice with a light almost perfumey taste.. the vapour production is very weak-sauce and there is NO throat hit, so you throat hit lovers.. Be warned... If lightly sweet is your thing, this might be for you, as for me, I'll give it a 2.5/5 for it is vapeable but it is a back up " oh crap I ran out of _____" kinda juice.
Number 9 : Aaah! This one made me smile. Love Potion always a good thing to have on hand in case you need a little love! This is another lightly flavoured juice, but I love the taste to it. Raspberry stands out as the main berry in this mixture, although I cannot tell quite what else they used to get the crispness to it. It has a light mellow throat hit, but it is there. This one has a medium vapour production, No billowing clouds but a satisfying amount fills the air upon the exhale. I can't vape this all day long as the flavour tends to mute out the longer I vape it, but I love it from time to time. a good 4/5.

Black of Night : I love chocolate. I mean, if there were a choco-holics annonomous, I'd probably be the chairman... Or the cult leader who got everyone to give up their chocolate so that I could go to my office and scarf it down. However, I've heard mixed things on chocolate vaping.. Some people love it... Others despise it.. But you gotta try everything once right? ( Heck, I tried Lemon twice). My first hit on this.... I couldn't place anything...Second hit I got a mild milky chocolate taste followed by a peanutbutter.. I wanted to love it so bad.. What could be better for a curvy girl then getting her Peanut butter cups with out the calories.. but the third hit ruined it for me. It immediately reminded me of chocolate protein powder ( Which, doesn't taste that great to begin with) that had been put in a frying pan, turned on high and let turn a deep dark black before someone threw some peanuts on top and burnt those up with it. It was gagging... The vapour production was decent, it had a medium throat hit, but I couldn't touch it after the 3rd or 4th hit.. I put it away for a while.. thinking I'd try again, maybe steeping would help mellow it out... nope..  It was the same story.. First hit made me want to love it, and the second I go in for another one I contemplate playing in traffic to get the taste out of my mouth. I am uncertain if maybe they just haven't nailed the art of a chocolate vape yet, or maybe it's just my own taste buds that are ruining this experience for me. I will not be keeping this one in my vape box... ( If anyone wants it, PLEASE let me know haha) Gotta give this one a 1/5... and the whole number score is really me being polite to the fact that maybe it's just me.



With all that being said, I would be more then willing to pay the $16.99 for 30ml again for the Winters Bite or the Eye of Newt, the rest to me, aren't quite wowing enough to pay that price for.


In other news: the Mad Alchemist just came out with 6 ( If I remember correctly) new flavours for the fall season, and hopefully money allowing, I'll get a chance to sample them as well... That Custard one is calling my name I must say..


Until next time lovelies...

Vape Happy..
