DIAMOND VAPOR

Any eLiquid that makes reference to the Smurf ’ s is a liquid we ’ re willing to try , even if it ’ s in reference to the most diabolical Smurf character . Gargamel ’ s Curse was the most interestingly named juice in our Diamond Vapor sample pack and we had absolutely no idea what to expect from this creation other than the idea that it was a berry-based flavor . So , with no idea what we were about to tear into , the Vaping Press taste testers juiced up and got to Smurfing .
First things first : this juice is an eerie green concoction that makes it all the more diabolical . We cautiously removed the cap on our bottle and took a good , long whiff to see what we were dealing with … and it was Smurfing spectacular ! Fruity beyond belief , with notes of what might be a honey additive , the smell of this eLiquid is worth getting cursed by an evil wizard !
With newfound curiosity in this interestingly crafted juice from Diamond Vapor , we set out to see what the wizard had in store for us in the taste department . As we deeply inhaled , one thing became quickly apparent : Gargamel ’ s Curse has nothing to do with throat hit . The hit was nearly nonexistent , which took many of our tasters by surprise . Perhaps Gargamel is luring us into a false sense of security ?
When the taste hit our tongues , we knew immediately that this vape was all about the berry flavor ! Whereas the other berry-type eJuices that we tried from Diamond Vapor were complicated and flowery , this one hits the mark with laser precision : offering us a subtle blueberry taste , complete with that mystery ingredient that we believe to be honey . It ’ s a Smurfing awesome flavor ! We pounded away on Gargamel ’ s curse with burst after burst of flavor bringing us back
Base Liquid : 80 % VG / 20 % PG Nicotine Level : 12mg / mL
“ It ’ s a Smurfing awesome flavor !”
for more each time … and then it dawned on us ! Gargamel ’ s Curse is that once you try this eLiquid , you ’ ll be more and more intoxicated with each draw . We ’ ve been cursed !
When we finally took the time to observe the vapor production for this eLiquid , it was a short observation . The vapor billows out in a nice cloud that ’ s extremely pleasant to smell , but it ’ s gone faster than you can say “ Smurf .” This isn ’ t a bad thing by any means , as the vapor production itself is quite good — just something to take note of if you ’ re a vaper who enjoys that lingering aesthetic touch .
The round up looks like this : if you ’ re looking for an intriguing berry vape , Gargamel ’ s Curse is going to rope you right in . This vape tastes great and smells just as good . It almost completely lacks throat hit , but if you can look past this aspect , you ’ re going to have a great time giving this one a try ! We ’ re not shy about saying that after a while , we started to watch old clips from the Smurfs on YouTube while we vaped Gargamel ’ s Curse , so extra points for nostalgia on this one as well !
