Virgin Vapour E Juice

Virgin Vapor Range

l

Introduction

I have selected six from their extensive range that they have to offer the consumer.

This covers every possibility you can imagine, from citrus to chocolate, tobacco to tropical, floral to fruity, and just about everything else in between. And if that isn’t enough to satisfy your taste buds  then how about something from the consumer creations range instead!

Once you have made your choice (not easy) and experienced the flavour and vapour production that these juices create, then you will begin to understand why they have earned thirteen Spinfuel Awards for these cleverly handcrafted and bottled premium elixirs.

 Product

Virgin Vapor manufactures their E- juices in two distinct categories. They are titled Virgin Vapor Line and Absolute Virgin Line. Both lines of Virgin Vapor e-liquid are created using USA sourced nicotine and third party certified organic flavours.  Both lines are available in a base of third party certified organic, pharmaceutical grade vegetable glycerine or a 50/50 mix of pharmaceutical grade, organic vegetable glycerine (VG) and pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol (PG).

 

The difference between the two lines is the flavouring used.  The standard Virgin Vapor line uses third party certified organic flavours that are extracted using organic ethyl alcohol.  The organic ethyl alcohol represents an additional ingredient present in this line.  While the majority of people do not smell or taste this ingredient, some people are quite sensitive to it.  If you find the organic ethyl alcohol content to be bothersome, try steeping the e-liquid with the caps removed for a few days to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

The Absolute line is also created using third party certified organic flavours.  However, these flavours are extracted using a multi-stage, patented process that does not require alcohol.  All of the Absolute e-liquid flavours are alcohol-free.  In addition, the flavours themselves are highly concentrated and very expensive to distill.

Virgin Vapor is in a constant search around the globe for the highest quality ingredients that they can find to manufacture Virgin Vapor e-liquids for guaranteeing customer satisfaction.

Their aim quite simply is to bring the consumer of fine elixirs’ the purest, ultra-premium organically flavoured e-liquid available anywhere in the world today.

For any health concerns, you may have Virgin Vapor have very thoughtfully included a section about this as well on their Website. Simply follow this link and read the Warning contained at the bottom of the page.

Testing

downloadI have reviewed these juices over a period of two weeks on two different manufacturers VV/VW devices. These include the Innokin SVD 2.0 along with the 30w Joyetech eVic Supreme.

I have also used a combination of three different tanks. The new KangerTech Sub Tank and RMT RBA, along with the Kayfun Lite in varying combinations, using the ranges suggested in the chart supplied here for consistency, and occasionally at 25w in combination with the 30w Joyetech eVic Supreme .

I believe that this will give both the retail supplier and consumer a fair and accurate assessment of the flavour and vapour production, as well as the throat hit this brand produces, which is important when considering stocking this range or purchasing them for your own personal vaping pleasure. I also steeped them for a period of one week prior to tasting, allowing the full flavour to come to the fore.

If you are already a supplier or intend to supply this range of E-Liquids please make sure they meet the current requirements set out by your countries regulatory bodies.

Diacetyl & Acetion Health Concerns

Diacetyl  Acetion

To see if the E juices reviewed here contain any harmful substances, please consult first with your E-liquid supplier prior to purchase or use, or alternatively contact the manufacturer directly.

Potential Polycarbonate problems

It is fairly well known that certain e-liquid ingredients can cause cracking or even melting of polycarbonate plastic or acrylic tanks and tubes. For further information on this subject please check with your E-juice supplier prior to purchase and use, or again contact the manufacturer directly.


Review

Virgin Vapors award winning range of juices contains 100% USA ingredients, including the Nicotine content which is also US sourced in order to maintain the highest quality possible. They even go as far as to hand mix the content in each individual bottle such is their commitment to supplying the consumer with the purest form of E-liquid on the market today. Very Impressive!

Each juice comes in a unique ½ or 1 ounce well designed and clearly labelled glass bottle with a glass pipette dispenser, very handy for dripping and filling mini tanks.

With Nicotine strengths of 00mg 06mg (low) 12mg (medium) & 18mg (high) & 24 (very high) you have a wide variety of choices to suite your own personal requirements.

I have tried to encompass as much of the essences on offer from Virgin Vapor in this review as possible, so here are the ones I have chosen.

Humming Bird Fuel

1D RGB 9419 Hummingbird 10This organically flavoured juice produces the purest of floral fragrances. On the inhale you are met with the essence of a slightly spicy sensation in the palette, and ending on the exhale a mixture of subtle floral notes. With a hint of honey to complete this unique experience, I could only be amazed by the ingenuity behind this pure organic creation.

Kona Coffee Milkshake

A cup of freshly ground coffee is what it takes to get some people moving in the morning. But according to research, it may be the aroma rather than the coffee itself that does the trick!

So when you remove the cap on the bottle and are met with that full-bodied aroma of freshly ground coffee beans, and a smooth rich and creamy flavour filling your palette with every inhale and exhale, you will understand why this particular juice has become Virgin Vapors biggest all time seller.

The steeping process alone can take anywhere up to six months to procure before it reaches perfection and can be bottled. I was informed that current demand is outstripping supply, so be first in line if you are a lover of the revitalizing taste and fragrance of a fine coffee blend, or be patient!

Blue Violet

Again this is another interesting, sweetly scented, all natural extract taken from the blue violet plant itself, creating that full bodied natural aroma which produces a noticeable floral bouquet that will allure the unwary back time and again for another  captivating experience.

Crème cameral

For those like me with a sweet tooth, and clearly there are plenty, as this particular flavoured juice was created at the bequest of Virgin Vapors customers, their Crème Cameral is nothing short of delicious.

Spanish-Orange-Caramel-Cream-Flan-de-NaranjaCrème caramel is an elegant mouth watering desert flavored vape, with a custard base followed by a sweet caramel sauce that sits pleasantly in the palate long after the exhale. It’s sure to become a firm favorite with a great many more people once they have experienced it, as I have.

Coconut Breeze

A simplistic blend that conjures up the illusion of a warm tropical paradise, both smooth in taste, and mildly refreshing, but not in any way overpowering, this is the perfect vape for a summer day, leaving you both refreshed and relaxed. A very pleasant and palatable all day vaping experience

Bed of Roses

Similar to the other floral additions in this Organic range, Bed Of Roses creates an essence of wild rose petals in this romantic floral vape, but without the pronounced perfumed aroma naturally associated with plant extracts. If you are considering experimenting with flowered juices, then this is a perfect place to start.

Conclusion

The quality of these uniquely blended juices as I’ve said is self evident as soon as you begin to vape them. Quite simply, they are a cut above due to the quality of the ingredients used to manufacture them. Carefully crafted in the widest variety of choices I have come across so far.

The price range varies according to the makeup of the juices, and size of the bottle you require, but I can assure you it extremely good value, and well worth the money spent. In my opinion more than suitably priced.

 Integration 196 imagesMBSYUH33

 If you are looking to experiment with the more exotic flavours in this range I would consider starting with the sample packs which come in 00 or 12 nicotine levels in 1/8 glass bottles over filled to 4.3ml each. Or for stronger nicotine level requirements use the single ½ ounce individual glass bottles for the higher nicotine ratings.

Each one of the six juices I selected gave an exact representation of the flavour denoted on the bottle with no exceptions. Vapour production was excellent up to the maximum of 25 watts used in this review, and no sign whatsoever of a burnt hit from any of them.

This is a very impressive and exquisite combination of flavours bought together with careful consideration when selecting and mixing each of these blends. Throat hit was impressive also, making its presence felt in the higher nicotine concentrations and power settings.

Delivery was made on time to me here in the UK, and the juices individually bubble wrapped for additional protection. My interaction with Virgin Vapour over the course of this review was met with a prompt and helpful response at all times.


As they clearly and quite rightly take great pride in themselves for guaranteeing customer satisfaction, I feel sure that any potential customer will be met with the same friendly and helpful response when contacting them as I have.

Innokin CoolFire 4 Review

Innokin CoolFire IV


My first comment, when I received the CoolFire IV to review just a little over one month ago now, was, best design I’ve seen from you Innokin since the introduction of the VTR. And six weeks on, after using it on a daily basis I’m sticking by those first impressions.

Yes, it has all the functionality and reliable performance we have come to expect from Innokin, but this time with a touch of real class in its appearance, size, and choice of colours.

Firing a large range of tank resistances from 0.2Ω all the way up to 3.1Ω and from 6W up to a maximum 40W in a compact size of only 3.93”. The CoolFire IV is a very impressive little performer that you’re going to find very hard to put down I can assure you!


Unboxing

Remove the outer shrink wrapping along with the decorative cardboard sleeve and you will find the hardened plastic casing with the CoolFire IV inside.

Detach the two stickers that hold the upper lid closed, to access your CoolFire IV device along with an ego 510 threaded adapter, USB charging cable. You will also find inside located underneath the foam housing a manual and Innokin stickers.

The rear contains an overview of the products features, so be sure to read this fully including the age and health warning prior to purchasing it.

Function & Performance

I have used the ranges supplied in this chart to test the CoolFire IV’s full range, from 6 watts all the way up to its maximum of 40 watts. I have also used the iSub G, along with the Smok VTC Pro, and three different E-juices with varying PG/VG mixtures from Space Jam, Cuttwood, and Mystique in order to gauge its overall performance for you.

If you are already a supplier or intend to supply the range of E-Liquids used in this review, please make sure they meet the current requirements set out by your countries regulatory bodies

Also, you might find the choice of vaping calculators provided by Steam Engine particularly useful, so thank you to Lars for allowing me to include them in my current and future reviews. And be sure to read his disclaimer entirely in the about section on his website prior to use. Never leave your device charging unattended, and always remember, SAFETY FIRST.

REACH compliant

For EU countries, more information on this can be found here along with REACH’s partner agencies from around the globe.

The CoolFire IV is a very well designed compact device packed with the latest technology that looks good and sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

The 510 connector has a spring loaded positive pin made with durable stainless steel threading allowing for flush mounting of a wide variety of different tanks with an ego thread adapter also included.

The CoolFire IV uses OLED clear, bright technology found on recent models from the Innokin range making it easy to see and adjust your settings in an orientation that suits you best. The display shows the resistance of the attached coil, current voltage, (adjustable in increments of 0.1) along with the wattage, (adjustable in increments of 0.5) using the three well placed and very comfortable buttons. You also have a visual display of the device’s current battery charge which appears to be reasonably accurate.

What I love about Innokin’s products is the degree of accuracy and safety measures that are included in their designs. This is what they say.

The Cool Fire IV uses Vrms DC current being very accurate with a power deviation of only 0.1Watt. The full 40 Watts is precisely maintained between resistances of 0.3 to 2.5 Ohms. Therefore, you have no wasted power, and exact accuracy means you are always vaping at the power level you choose. Vrms provides superior precision in delivering the exact wattage Ohm’s Law requires and stable power means better vapour.

 


Conclusion

I’m going to keep this part of the review short and sweet just like the quick overview of the CoolFire IV due to time constraints.

It appears that Innokin have finally struck gold with this latest edition, and I would be amazed if this does not become the biggest selling product in their range for 2015.

There is very little not to like about it if anything at all. The performance was excellent as is the wealth of technology and safety features included in its design, in a size and choice of well-suited colours that is sure to please.

Comfort is assured due to the smooth satin finish and rounded edges in a weight that is comfortable to hold, and it’s also very pleasing to the eye. Performance with both the iSub G and Smok VTC Pro at the ranges tested provided great vapour and flavour as well.

The only consideration I would have is a version with a removable battery option that some people may prefer?

Expected price range appears to be around the £40.00 or $48.00 mark.

Kangertech Aerotank Mini Review

Aerotank Mini


Kangertech have delivered their all new and greatly improved Aerotank Mini for review here to Vape On Watt Reviews. This has been a much awaited product launch and talked about in the chat rooms & forums over the last few months prior to its official release. I’m pleased to say that people are going to be somewhat impressed, both by its design features, and performance output compared with the Mega.

tank-kangertech-aerotank-mini-box-backThe first thing that struck me even before I opened the outer wrapping, was the clean design of the box, easy to understand quick start guide included on the back, and most importantly of all, their new unique security code sticker and serial number printed onto the box underneath the cellophane wrapping, as I have already mentioned in the Aerotank Mega review.

To check the authenticity of your new Kangertech product, simply apply a droplet of water to the Kangertech Logo, and it should disappear. Dry the wetted logo with a cloth and it will reappear again.

new-security-label

Kangertech have also included a sample of the authentication logo on a sticker inside the box. These two methods will help you confirm that you have purchased a legitimate Kangertech product rather than the all too familiar cloned copies. Also please be sure to check the warranty period should it be included with this device prior to purchase.

Unboxing

The Kangatech Mini comes complete with One Aerotank Mini fitted with the Pyrex glass body, one food grade stainless steel tube, both of which are designed to be interchangeable holding 1.3ml each. One 510 drip tip, and Two 1.5 ohm upgraded duel coil atomizer heads.

Kanger also supply their upgraded duel coil atomizer heads in 1.2ohm & 1.8 ohm configurations respectively, along with an easy to follow instruction booklet. The overall length is 60mm with a diameter of 14mm. And the weight is only 90g.

What’s new?

kanger-aerotank-mega-mini-2The R&D team have clearly spent many late nights working on a new replacement head design from the one they have been using for some time now, along with the inclusion of a new Version 2 Airflow control valve.

The overall ascetics of the new Mini are appealing to the eye in both the glass and stainless finishes. The inclusion of an all stainless steel tank made from SUS 304 stainless steel is a nice addition, adding to the solid look and feel of it.   The air control ring is another clever and useful addition that allows for balanced adjustment of the air intake, as this is a bottom fed tank.

The airflow ring is situated just above the thread for unscrewing or attaching the tank to a device, you will be pleased to know that Kanger have made the control ring smooth but firm, so slippage is unlikely to occur.

A suggestion for using this is to try a smaller opening when vaping thicker E liquids, and increase it for thinner liquids as a rough guide. Remember a smaller air flow will create the sensation of a tighter draw, and a larger airflow will create that of an airier one. If in doubt adjust the airflow ring until you find the balance that best works for the juice you are using at the time.

Performance

For the purpose of this review I attached the Aerotank Mini to my new Kanger EMOW ( Reviewing soon), and the Vision spinner V2. E juices where from the Midas and R&D Creation ranges.

If you are already a supplier or intend to supply this range of E Liquids please make sure they meet with the current requirements set out by your countries regulatory bodies.

REACH compliant

For EU countries more information on this can be found here along with REACH’s partner agencies from around the globe.

Also, you might find the choice of vaping calculators provided by Steam Engine particularly useful, so thank you to Lars for allowing me to include them in my current and future reviews. And be sure to read his disclaimer entirely in the about section on his website prior to use. Never leave your device charging unattended, and always remember, SAFETY FIRST. 

The fitting of the tank on both were fine, and complimented bothkanger-aerotank-mini-clearomizer either in the glass, or stainless finishes. It would nice to have a selection of colours in the Pyrex glass as you have for the Mega, something I hope Kangertech will introduce at a later date as this is going to be a very big seller in my opinion.

I made a direct comparison in this review with the Aerotank Mega, as I wanted to see how their performances compared. Flavour reproduction is excellent and you will be very hard pushed to tell the difference between the Aerotank Mini and the Mega for tasting the flavour of your juice, which really did surprise me, as I was expecting a noticeable difference between the two. How very wrong!

Vapour production was immense, so don’t be in the least bit surprised by its performance like I was. The drip tip again is very comfortable to use just like its big brother, and has a good size bore as well.

Conclusion

kangertech_aerotank_mini_ecigmx_04Kangertech have again pushed the envelope even further with the introduction of their all new Aerotank Mini, with its new design features, redesigned coil, build quality, and stylish appearance. Like the Mega, the threading on this tank is silky smooth as well.

Vapour production is excellent, and the flavour reproduction up there with the very best on the market at the time of writing this article. Quite simply, you cannot fail to be impressed by the performance of Kangers Aerotank Mini.

Price range is currently around the £20.00 sterling US$ 30.00 mark. And remember this includes the interchangeable Stainless steel tank as well. For further details on this product, and to enter your unique product security code to identify its authenticity, contact Kangertech directly or you’re nearest stockist.
