DRAGON ’ S BLOOD This is arguably the most well known in this range . It ’ s primary flavours are dark berries , and I could pick up on blackberries , blackcurrant and also blueberries . There is no pointless over complication on this juice , it is just a straight up fruity blend . As I was vaping it on my RDA , I could really appreciate the different layers of berries . Dragon ’ s Blood was extremely easy to vape , and I didn ’ t lose any of the flavour despite vaping on it for several hours . As a 70 percent VG e-liquid , the cloud production was impressive , yet the juice still retained it ’ s flavour well . My favourite thing about this e-liquid is it ’ s simplicity and how carefully it was created .
EXOTIC TROPIC An interesting name , with an interesting flavour . Wobbly Goblin is also a 70 percent VG short-fill from Thor Juice . It ’ s main flavour constituents are a citrus infused blackcurrant and kiwi . To me , the most obvious initial flavour that I could pick up on would definitely be the citrus , as it is very strong , and rather refreshing . As I held the vapour in my lungs and mouth , just before exhaling , a soft and mild touch of sweet blackcurrant became apparent . Then , as I exhaled , a sharp and flavourful kiwi came into play . I found this juice to be very strong in taste , which could be a good thing , especially for vapers who consider themselves as ‘ flavour chasers .’
CHRONOS CUSTARD A rather different flavour profile from the two previous juices in this line , Chronos Custard is a rich , velvety vanilla custard cake . Even before vaping , there is a gentle and welcoming aroma of creamy vanilla , with a warm and delectable cake scent . When vaping this e-liquid , you can really appreciate the different layers to it . Upon inhalation , there is a strong flavour of vanilla bean , followed by a creamy spiced custard . On exhaling , you can pick up on a subtle cake element that rounds up all of the different flavours in a very elegant way . I particularly relished the fact that this e-liquid was so complex and was all in the right ratios , making this juice one of a kind .
ARES The gentle aroma of this juice lingers as you open the bottle , and softly entices you into vaping this e-liquid . Ares is a high VG dessert flavoured e-liquid , its taste is reminiscent of a smooth and milky strawberry ice cream . The inhale is rather full on , but in a very pleasant way , as it gives you plenty of bang for your buck , the more prominent notes on the inhale would most certainly be the sweet strawberry . As you begin to exhale , there is a creamy vanilla element that presents itself in a mild and unassuming manner . As Ares is a high VG e-liquid , I experienced impressive cloud production , alongside a smooth throat hit . I really enjoyed the fact that this juice was so easy to vape on all day without getting bored or developing vaper ’ s tongue .

MEDUSA A big hit with aniseed lovers , Medusa comes across as both fruity and refreshing . I am not the biggest fan of aniseed , but I felt that it certainly gave this juice an interesting and unique edge . On inhalation , I noticed a fruity candy taste that lingered on my tastebuds briefly . This was soon replaced by a zingy citrus note that grabbed my attention and completely cleansed my palate . Despite not usually enjoying aniseed , this e-liquid really popped and was definitely a summertime vape , due to it ’ s fresh and fruity nature . I know many vapers would appreciate this juice , down to the fact it is so unique and the aniseed is not overpowering nor sickly .
HADES Wow ! What an interesting taste ! The primary flavour that you get on the inhale is a ripe , sweet mixed berry . To me , it came across as being really well executed , as it wasn ’ t too sweet , and at the same time it was not too sharp nor was it artificial . Then , a mild nuttiness presented itself in the most subtle way possible . It didn ’ t taste very strong – however I think that was a good thing , as I felt if it was too potent , that it would take away from the rest of the flavour components . The flavour description on this juice suggests that there is an element of cinnamon , however I couldn ’ t really pick up on it . I ’ ve tried many different unique flavours out there , but never have I come across a nutty berry one ! Due to the most prominent constituent , the mixed berries , I found that this juice would be fantastic as a summertime all day vape ! As I briefly mentioned earlier , the berries are so smooth , sweet and refreshing , that it would be hard to not want to vape it on a hot day !
