Melon Head Hometown Vapor is the manufacturer of ' Melon Head ', hailing from Kalamazoo ( that ' s fun to say !), Michigan , USA . The juice I received came in a clear glass 60ml dropper style bottle . The labelling is quite bright and colourful , however I don ' t think it is overly appealing to young children , although this is down to personal opinion . The juice itself is clear and syrupy thick . My eLiquid came in 3mg ( my preferred nicotine level ) but it is also available in 0mg and 6mg nicotine . It is a max VG juice , so I was expecting truly decent clouds . A 60ml bottle is available online , retailing for around $ 25 (£ 19 ), so it is a very appropriate price for what it is you are getting in return . Smelling this wonderful juice ' s aroma ,

Again , melon is the primary element to this juice , but then I could sense a citrusy candy kick to it . On the inhale , an overwhelming and generic sugary fruit candy was all I could taste , but , as I continued to vape on it ,
again , I could taste a melon and lemon hard candy . Exhaling , these two components bounced off one another , rather than amalgamating . I actually quite liked that , as it gave me the ability to appreciate
( best described as lemon ) was sugary yet tart , both appealing in their own right . As I predicted , the production of vapour was simply fantastic . The clouds were billowy and thick , and carried a beautiful aroma around the room . However , because of this liquid ' s heavy viscosity ( due to it being a max VG ), I would not recommend using it on any set up above
1.0 ohms , as the juice could clog up or damage your coils . Overall , I rather liked this eliquid , with it ' s sweet and slightly sour tones and extremely satisfying cloud production .
but I think that this one is the best so far !
Blue Smurf by VaperGate
Out of Denver , Colorado , USA , comes ‘ Smurf ’ - a delicious blue raspberry flavoured eLiquid . The fluid itself is coloured bright blue , with a child resistant white dropper cap that , fittingly , represents a Smurf ! The juice I received was 0mg nicotine , 80 % VG and a 30ml glass bottle . It features plenty of relevant warnings including a ‘ No under 18s ’ and a Prop 65 amongst others . There is also a list of ingredients for this eLiquid . Now , I ’ m not 100 % sure about rules and regulations in the USA regarding added colouring to juices , but I know of some countries that are planning to restrict added and / or artificial colourants to eLiquids . Flavour-wise , this juice is extremely smooth yet fruity , and tastes a little bit like a blue slushie , something I rather liked , although I can see it being a little sickly for some vapers who aren ’ t 100 % keen on sweet flavours . I could definitely pick up on a zing of blue raspberry candy , and there is an element of sourness that really makes this juice pop . It ’ s quite a simple flavour , but it really works well in terms of not over complicating it . A 30ml bottle will set you back around $ 20.00 or , in the UK , £ 15.40 . A pretty

average price for a 30ml eLiquid . It is also available on the VaperGate website in 120ml bottles - perfect for those of you who enjoy Blue Smurf immensely ! I can see this juice as a staple in my eLiquid collection , due to the no frills and fantastically delicious flavour . At 80 % VG , vapour production is quite something , I experienced a high level of clouds , and , as VaperGate says ....” Clouds for days . Flavor for miles .” It was certainly satisfying to vape this liquid , mainly due to it ’ s out of this world vapour , not to mention the simple but effective blue raspberry flavour . The only thing I can fault is that I wish I had more of it !!
