REVIEWS Fizzy Cola by Cloud Island Cloud Island is a juice company based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. They have a large selection of different flavours available online. It was a pleasure to try an eLiquid that was produced locally. They have an awesome website that requires a declaration of appropriate age, and methodically displays all the different flavours – it even has background audio of gently lapping waves! 'Fizzy Cola' comes in a 30ml , 70% VG and has 3mg of nicotine. The bottle is clear plastic, with a unicorn style cap that is child proof. The labelling is very fitting to the name of the company (Cloud Island) and features a tropical beach image along with a fresh feeling colour profile of blues and yellows. Creamy Bean by Cloud Island Creamy bean is a tantalising vanilla milkshake with just the slightest hint of something I can only guess is a cinnamon danish. My bottle of juice was 30ml and had 3mg/ml. To begin with, I must explain that the bottle features plenty of warnings, and graphics that are not particularly appealing to young children and displays very straight and to the point information such as volume, nicotine, PG:VG and, obviously, the name, amongst others. When I opened the 30ml plastic (and child proofed) cap, it revealed a unicorn top that makes dripping a doddle. At first, all I could smell was a smooth cinnamon, evoking many positive memories of cinnamon based foods like cookies, pies and other sweet desserts. To taste on inhaling, the primary flavour was cinnamon, however the sheer complexity of this juice really revealed an element of an authentic and velvety note of vanilla. It was extraordinary to have such a unique and gratifying experience when vaping. The flavours morphed and mingled with On the label, there is a decent yet slightly lengthy explanation of certain warnings (although 'slightly lengthy' warnings are much more preferable to no warnings at all). There is also information about the juice displayed on the label, including the juice's name, nicotine percentage, VG:PG ratio, use by date and batch number. All really useful pieces of information, and all neatly displayed on the bottle. As a self confessed cola connoisseur, it is a wonder that I have never tried a cola flavoured vape until now. I think this juice is reminiscent of fizzy cola bottle candies rather than a glass of original icy cola, but it still tastes amazing! It's very difficult to convey this without actually trying it, but in my experience, the fizziness was more of a pleasant after taste, or rather an after 'sensation'. It is sweet , almost spicy and has a wholesome cola kick at the end that incorp orates the many elements of this interesting blend of flavours that mix together to construct the ultimate cola vape. In terms of the production of vapour, this was good for a 70% VG juice. I tried this on an RDA, with a high wattage, so clouds were far superior than if you were vaping on a sub ohm tank set up - although this option between the two is entirely up to personal preference. The fact this was my first cola flavoured vape that I have tried, I cannot comment on how well it compares to other cola ones, however I can confidently say I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was mild to inhale, had a beautiful blend of fizzy citrus and cola, pretty good vapour production and the fact it had a number of warnings made this juice very appealing to me, so I would like to rate it 4/5. one another, something I admire, and will continue to admire in a juice. Firstly you get spicy yet mild cinnamon, then the vanilla bean comes along, and finally, an exhale of creamy milkshake fusion of the two, as well as the most slightest hint of flaky pastry. The whole process from inhalation to exhalation is smooth, fulfilling and delicious - each step reveals a new 0.5 ohms or less. A 10ml bottle of Creamy Bean is about £5 ($6.50), whilst a 30ml bottle sets you back £10.99 ($14.30), both are available in 3mg, 6mg and 12mg. All respectable prices for the magical elixir within! Overall, I found this juice to be a fantastic fusion of flavours, all accurately assembled in the right ratios. The price is good, as well as the vapour produced when vaping. I liked it a lot! 5/5! “Cloud Island have triumphed tremendously in generating an intricate set of flavours that work flawlessly together.” component to the juice. It seems to be very difficult for eliquid companies to create a complex flavour successfully, or on the other hand, to fail at a simple one. Cloud Island have triumphed tremendously in generating an intricate set of flavours that work flawlessly together. The VG percentage is at 70%, meaning vapour output is marvellous, particularly when operating on a sub ohm set up. I would suggest using this eLiquid on an atomiser that has a resistance of VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE ISSUE 06 141
