JUICE PRODUCT REVIEW
McFlavours E-Liquid: Vanilla Cigar
These are made in Italy and they ship across the EU. Prices
are €9.99 for 20ml of e-liquid with additional costs for
shipping. (Second Class is shipped from a fulfilment centre in
Derby.)
Currently McFlavors are running an introductory offer of
99% discount on your first bottle purchased, so I paid
approximately £4.00 in total. The e-liquid arrived in a
cardboard box which has sections for more bottles, see
images below.
The juice comes with a leaflet containing:
• Warnings
• Product Content
• Precautions
This is a nicely presented e-Liquid. McFlavors state that
there is no PG in their juices but a natural glycol alternative.
From reading the ingredients, it contains Glycerol, Nicotine,
Fragrance and Water 100%; the full datasheet can be viewed
and downloaded from their website directly: http://www.

At first look the liquid was like water, not the usual thickness
of my other max VG based liquids, so I wasn’t quite sure how
this would vape. I tried these new flavours on my Plume Veil at
0.4Ohms at various wattages.
The colour is dark, which is what you probably would expect
from a cigar flavour e-liquid and there is no real aroma/smell
from the liquid.
Flavour: My first few vapes on this had me puzzled, but then it
started coming through. The mild cigar flavour and very mild
vanilla flavour combined to make a nice vape to go with your
brandy/bourbon. The flavours are not harsh or overpowering,
but nicely complement each other in the right way. For me this
would not be an all-day vape, but a vape for that smug time,
sitting back in your chair with a nice liqueur, fire roaring away
donning your favourite ‘vaping’ jacket.
Throat Hit: There is some element of throat hit, but it is mild (I
opted for the 0.4% nicotine level). If you like your throat hits to
really ‘hit’ then maybe this is not for you. The higher nicotine
level juices may be better on this, but my level is no more than
6mg (any more than that and I just gag!).
Dripping: I am only going to conduct my review on a dripper
due to the very water like consistency of the liquid. A dark
cotton is what you end up with and be careful not to over-drip
as it will go everywhere. But I did like it. Some would say it’s
an acquired taste, one, which I got used to very quickly.
RTAs: Not tested.
Vapour Production: There isn’t that much. Comparing it to my
other juices, this does not produce the clouds that the other
juices make, but saying that they are there.
Power/Watts: Minimum really would be 10watts, but don’t
expect to get much from it at this low setting. It is best suited
(in my opinion) at 25 Watts and above. I have mostly vaped
this liquid around 35Watts and it has performed well.
Overall Impression: For me, this is not an ADV, but more
of a special occasion and when you are in the mood for a
celebratory cigar, I like this juice and it would be one I would
purchase again. The mild flavours complement each other
and work well together.

Zephyrus RTA by Youde Technology
This is my favourite and best RTA to date. The air flow is
immense. You also have an easy to use top fill hole, 5ml
juice capacity, stock 0.3Ohm head supplied along with a
re-buildable section, spare pyrex glass tank, O-rings of red,
white and blue and a 2 part drip tip (1 small and 1 with heat
sinks).
I cannot recommend this SubOhm Tank enough. I purchased
this for £27.99 from Elegant Vapour in the UK. Upon arrival I
was impressed. UD have now updated their packaging to the
plastic clam shell design and it has all the accessories you
need.
The 0.3 stock coil is already fitted so it’s pretty much ready to
go. There was little to no cleaning required of thi s tank.
This thing does go through juice though, but the flavour is
fantastic, beating the Kanger and Aspire tanks hands down
– so much so, that I probably won’t be using the others any
time soon.
I have had this now for almost a week and I have gone
through quite a large amount of juice. Ensure you stock up
when you use this, as it goes through it quickly.
At the same time I did purchase the Goliath by UD, but the
Zephyrus is the one that is always being used.
I will have to buy another one or three!
