REVIEWS PASSION This e-liquid has a sweet fruity scent with a hint of alcohol. It smells just like a fruit cocktail. On the inhale the vape gives a light fruity taste that comes with a smooth hit. The exhale develops a very tasty passionfruit taste. It develops an alcohol-like edge which pushes this to taste just like a porn star martini. The flavour also develops a very light cooling which just adds that special touch. The aftertaste has more of a liquorice taste which personally I am not keen on but I know many that would love it. FEAR Fear smells absolutely great. It has a mixed scent of grapefruit and lime. On the inhale a sweet lime essence touches the tongue with a sweet throat hit that has a slight cooling agent in it. The exhale begins with the light coolant undertone helping a sweet grapefruit ascend. This then takes a citrus turn and a lime flavour takes the limelight (excuse the pun). This flavour rollercoaster is assisted by a light absinth undertone. This is a really different vape and I would advise all to give it a try. LOVE This e-liquid has a light raspberry scent with a clear minty undertone. On the inhale the vape produces a cold menthol and smooth hit. The cloud production on the mixed range is incredible. The raspberry flavour is the first to come through. It’s a rich flavour and carries a light undertone of mint leaves. This literally gives the experience of a mojito cocktail. The exhale leave a sweet note on the tongue and a cold sensation in the throat. This is a very impressive vape and one perfect for the adventurous vaper. 999 FOREST FIRE BLUES AND TWOS profiles have been a staple flavour profile of e-liquids since the inception of vaping, but it’s not often that you see this rich dessert paired with mint. A smooth and light vanilla custard dominates this blend. It’s not as rich as some other custard profiles that I’ve tried and for that reason I found that 999 doesn’t get at all sickly when vaping it throughout the day. It’s a bright, confectionary vanilla that will appeal to a wide range of people, since it does not take the risk of including the darker, spiced notes of other custards which can become overpowering. The mint element of this blend mouth feel do a fantastic job of replicating the cake base. These main notes are complemented by a rich cream, which adds some body to the mix whilst helping blend other flavours in the profile together. The chocolate is quite subtle. In this case it works to accent the cream and bakery flavours, without distracting from them. Finally, there is a slight hint of cherry, mostly tasted on the exhale adding another layer to this already complex profile. If you enjoy bakery flavours, this is well worth a try. Twos as a bubble-gum flavour with a cool exhale. It’s the most stripped back blend of the Firehouse range that I’ve tried, but that’s not to say it’s not a true representation of the desired flavour profile. A well-balanced candy fruit bubble-gum makes up the body of this e-liquid. Mixed berries, hints of banana and a classic hard candy flavour are blended well together here to recreate this nostalgic profile. Firehouse Vape have done well to ensure this inherently sweet combination does not become cloying or sickly and is instead actually quite subtle. The cooling and Firehouse Vape describe 999 as a smooth vanilla custard with a minty punch. Custard is unique. Strangely though, I think this light accent makes 999 a rather moreish e-liquid that I keep going back to. If you’re a custard fan looking for something a bit different, 999 is a solid choice. 214 | VM17 Bakery notes are the most prominent part of this blend. Mild baked spices and a fluffy Sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. Firehouse Vape describe Blues and slightly minty exhale make for a simple but delicious all day vape that will be perfect for those starting on their e-cigarette journey.
