PicNic by JAC Vapour PicNic is a revolutionary way of creating DIY e-liquids . It allows you to customise the flavour strength as well as the amount of nicotine . At first , I wasn ’ t so keen on the flavours , but after letting them steep for about a week and a bit , they were delicious .

I mixed together all of the essential components to these e-liquids , and used the provided ‘ Nic Shots ’ to make it have 3mg / ml of nicotine .

Fluffy Nut Fluffy Nut is a sweet and creamy peanut butter based flavour that encompasses a wide range of tastes that actually work really well together . There is a definite smoothness to it that is very appealing and unique . The peanut element to this e-juice comes across as wholesome , earthy and has a little touch of sweetness right on the exhale . I also picked up on something light and fluffy that is not unlike freshly whipped cream . Personally , I found the balance between the almost savoury notes of peanut and the undertones of smooth , sweet cream , was perfectly executed . What I liked most about this juice was the fact that all of the flavours worked really well when combined . The only negative was having to let this juice steep for a while , although that is to be expected with any DIY-style liquids . 4 / 5

Avalanche I have given up on hating menthols , as all of the ones I have tried recently , were actually very pleasant . I like fruity menthols and Avalanche doesn ’ t disappoint . If anything , the menthol is smooth , cool and refreshingly mild . It is paired with a xture of berries and grape – togeth

Real Raspberry After the slightly heavy taste of Fluffy Nut , this raspberry flavour was a welcome and refreshing sensation that made my mouth water . The raspberry flavouring in this liquid reminded me of a raspberry candy , but was light and could also come across as tasting similar to a raspberry lemonade . It was sweet , but not overly so , and it was extremely revitalising to experience . The flavour is simple but effective , and is not quashed by unnecessary elements that would complicate and possibly even damage the delicate fruitiness of the e-liquid . Overall , it was tasty and I could see myself using this as an all day vape , only if the bottle was bigger ! 4 / 5

Lemon Dead After already loving the other juices in this line , I was hopeful about trying out ‘ Lemon Dead .’ For me , lemon is a hit or miss . You either nail it , or you don ’ t . Under the umbrella of lemon flavours , you can come across a huge range of preparations . For example , there are lemon cheesecake flavours that are more focussed on the creamier elements . There are lemonade flavours , soda flavours , custard flavours – the list is pretty much endless . And despite there being a tonne of them out there , the right lemon flavoured e-liquid is hard to come by . For this juice , I decided to use my usual set up – a Druga RDA alongside an Asmodus Minikin v2 , running at 80watts . The nicotine strength of this e-liquid was 3mg , although it is also available in 0mg and 6mg . The VG : PG ratio is 80:20 , so perfect for sub-ohm or dripper setups . Carefully dripping the liquid onto the freshly wicked coils , I could smell a faint zingyness . As soon as I took a long , calculated inhale , I knew that this juice was something special .

Upon inhalation , there were powerful notes of sour , sherbet-like lemon , that made my mouth water . As I processed the flavour , and began to exhale , I noticed a more subdued and unobtrusive touch of sweet , sugary lemon candy . The exhale really complimented the inhale , and vice versa . I like how much this e-liquid tastes just like the candy it set out to replicate . You get the zingy sharpness matching the sweet , more dulcet tones . it is so hard to find an e-liquid as carefully executed as this one . Being 80 % VG , big clouds were to be expected , and Lemon Dead did not disappoint ! Billows of lemon-scented vapour soon filled the room , much to my delight . Lemon Dead lived up to my ( rather picky ) high standards , and I felt that the way it tasted exceeded all of my expectations . It came across as bold as well as sumptuous whilst retaining the sweeter side of lemon candy , rather than the sour notes overbearing all other components . 5 / 5 !

Fantasi Mango The flavouring in this e-liquid is very much alike a sweet and thick mango nectar . It is not sour at all and carries the juicy and zingy notes of a fresh mango . This e-liquid is very basic in terms of flavour components , although all of the elements melt in to one master flavour , creating an overall refreshing and wholesome taste . The mango is very sweet and syrupy , and leaves a strong sweetness in your mouth on the exhale - this is reflected in the fact that Fantasi Mango has the potential to clog up your coils due to the added sweetener flavourings . As tasty as this flavour was , I found it to have an overpoweringly sweet and sickly aftertaste that I felt took away the refreshing coolness of the mango . This e-liquid will most certainly appeal to fruit fanatics , as it is exceptionally exhilarating and has full bodied fruit that is difficult to match . I would suggest that those of you who do not like very strong sweet e-liquids , perhaps to at least try it before you decide , as I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised . 4 / 5

Fantasi Grape Grape flavours can be very hit or miss in the vaping world . All too often we find ourselves stuck in the monotony of harsh flavours , or even flavours that are too mild in taste . I have tried a multitude of grape e-liquids that are more similar in taste to aftershave than to anything remotely like what it says on the bottle ! Thankfully , Fantasi have really pulled the rabbit out of the hat with this one . The grape notes are both candy-like and sweet , and everything tasting just as it should . Again , Koolada makes an appearance , albeit a welcomed one . It gives the whole flavour a bit of a kick and sets the grape way up on the flavour scales . In this juice especially , I found that the grape was almost bubble gummy and was most pronounced on the exhale , and big plumes of vapour ensued . Again , I really couldn ’ t find anything wrong with this . 5 / 5

Fantasi Orange Saving the best for last , the zesty orange blast of flavour is truly ecstatic . Although this Fantasi e-liquid instalment does not taste like ‘ real ’ organic oranges , it definitely has major similarities to orange fizzy pop ( no surprises there !). You cannot pick up on the gaseous element that you would expect to find in actual sodas . However , the consistent and sugary tones amalgamate with the sharp orange , creating one of the most flavoursome , fruity and Fantastic ( see what I did there ?!) eLiquids that I have tried in recent months . The orange is certainly more noticeable on the inhale , whereas the sugary sweetness is carried along and is noticeable both in the inhale and exhale , but is defiantly more prominent on exhalation . I really cannot fault it , it was powerful and full of accurately measured components , all joining together to generate an e-liquid that I would go as far as to say it would make it into my top 10 – and I have tried plenty . An easy 5 / 5 !
