Blood Sukka
This e-liquid has a strong , sweet berry smell that fills the nasal cavity . The red berry scent has an undertone of a rich aniseed that really gives the e-liquid a kick . When inhaling this fruity e-liquid , the first taste to emerge is a sweet red cherry taste mixed with other berries . This fruity cocktail is a beautiful blend and really does make the taste buds dance . When exhaling , the berry blend is overcome by a strong aniseed that really takes over the fruitiness and takes the flavour in a bitter direction . On top of this bitterness a slight cool menthol creeps in and finishes the flavour with a cold ending .
This is really like being bitten by a vampire . The flavour is really nice , the only thing I found is it is aniseedy which is very powerful . This would undoubtedly be nice for aniseed lovers , it really complements the berry flavours with a harsh kick enough to wake you up . I really enjoyed this vape its fun and delicious especially for a good throat hit 5 / 5
Blood Sukka Concentrate
The Blood Sukka concentrate has the same smell as the e-liquid but it is a lot stronger , as expected . I made four blends of this concentrate - two at 60 / 40 vg / pg and two at 70 / 30 vg / pg . I first totalled up enough nicotine to make four 3mg 25ml bottles . I used 10 % and 20 % concentrate for each vg / pg type and the concentrate blended beautifully . When vaping , I found that the 70 / 30 vg / pg worked best for flavour as it toned down the aniseed with a 10 % concentrate , yet the cherries and berries flavour was still strong . I really loved the concentrate of this flavour because it is so versatile . The flavour is even better with a toned down aniseed . The e-liquid variations seemed to adapt well from tank to dripper . This is a top notch concentrate . 5 / 5
Radical Vapes
The Radical Vapes e-liquid features the typical 30ml glass bottle with pipette lid , the branding of which the bottle arrived is rather ‘ trippy ’ featuring bright colours and the RV logo .
The Big Twist
Initially the smell of this Radical Vapes e-liquid has a strong sweet tropical scent too it , subtle juicy melon with citrus overtones that make the mouth water . Upon inhale I was greeted with a soft bitter lime taste with a sweet kick that causes a shock as it was not what I was expecting after initially smelling the juice . After this a twist of sweet lemon creeps in and the flavour really becomes pleasant . When exhaled , the two citrusy flavours
146 ISSUE 09 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE combine and the melon taste previously smelt is greeted . This creates a delicious tropical refreshing flavour . The flavour resembles that of the yellow and green twister ice lollies from the local ice cream man . After a while the e-liquid dons a similar taste to a lemon sweet celery . This is unusual but still very refreshing . A pleasant vape overall , very refreshing and as sweet as the twister lollies themselves . 5 / 5
Strawberry meds
This smells incredible , the scent resembles opening a fresh pack of strawberry laces . Strong sweet strawberry candy . When first inhaled , the strong strawberry really comes through , its rather basic really and not anything unusual . Through an RDA the strawberry tones are accentuated but still nothing other than strawberry . The strawberry flavour is one of the best as it really tastes like strawberry laces . On exhale the strawberry fades away and it pretty much loses all taste . This is quite disappointing really as I was expecting some flavour to kick in on the exhale . This causes problems for me as it is a tasty strawberry e-liquid perfect for people looking for a subtle smooth vape but the lack of aftertaste was such a disappointment . 3 / 5
