Trip Hammer - Turkish Delight 12mg Review


Trip Hammer
 Turkish Delight 12mg

After tasting a lot the cheap e-liquids on the market, we thought it was about time we started treating ourselves to some quality vaping liquids. 

Kicking it off is this one from Trip Hammer. All of Trip Hammers liquids are 30/70 PG/VG and they use natural and organic flavourings.

As previously mentioned, I have been looking for a quality Turkish Delight flavour and I think I've found it. Wow! It's amazing!!



Tastes like original Turkish Delight with a very slight hint of chocolate. If you love Turkish Delight you will definitely love this one. It has a lovely thick quality vapour and the quality of the ingredients is excellent, tastes freshly handmade to order not like cheap stuff I’ve bought from elsewhere. I purchased a 30ml bottle and I am glad I did order the bigger size as it is addictive. Highly recommended!!



Flavour: Turkish Delight
Likeness to flavour: Excellent / Outstanding!
Stockist: Trip Hammer ~ www.triphammer.co.uk
Price: £3.50 for 5ml, £5.99 10ml & £11.99 30ml
Taste: Original Turkish Delight



Overall Score: 10/10

Kangertech T3'D Review


The Kangertech T3'D

After having spent an awful lot of money on the plastic CE4 / CE5 atomizers, we began to look at moving up a level to the replaceable coil style tanks.

 At the local bricks and mortar store this tank caught my eye, based on the price point (paid £7) and the quality appearance of it.


The tank uses a Kangertech duel coil and the one supplied was 1.5ohm resistance. 
The coils are inexpensive to replace and they last fairly well. I replaced my first coil after a month but depending on usage, I would recommend replacing every 2-3 weeks. They work well up to about 4.3v, going any higher will shorten the life of the coil. You can purchase the coils for £2.50 for 1 or £10.00 for 5.

Appearance

Quite plain but sleek looking tank with a polycarbonate main body which has a measurement guide up to 2.2ml. I would like to say, it is very difficult to fill up to 2.2ml, without getting liquid in the main funnel. The base is metal along with the drip tip, which can be removed or replaced. 


Performance

This tank has been used on a Vision Spinner 2 for a couple of months now and I can honestly say it is fantastic! It has a loose draw from the 3 air intake holes at the bottom which packs a punch and delivers loads of vapour. I always vape at 3.8v and it is a very reliable and consistent tank. It is also very resistant to other issues that plague other brands of tanks such as, leaking, gurgling and spitting. I am pleased to say I haven't experienced any of these problems with this tank and between us we own three of them. 


Conclusion

A solid performing tank that will not let you down! At under £10 it is a 'must have' in your vaping kit. 

Overall Score: 8/10

There is better, but not at this price!

Hangsen ~ Coffee 18mg


Hangsen Coffee 18mg Review

Still on the search for a good coffee flavour and spotted this one from Hangsen.


This one is not great to be honest! The flavours have not been matched very well, tastes a bit harsh and it doesn't have a nice coffee taste that we were anticipating.  From what we have tasted so far, I would recommend the Espresso over this one but I'm sure there is even better out there so the search for a fresh coffee bean tasting vape continues!



Flavour: Coffee
Likeness to flavour: Poor to average
Stockist: Hangsen ~ www.hkhangsen.com
Price: £2.99
Taste: Coffee flavour none existent 

Overall Score: 4/10

Smoketastic ~ Watermelon 12mg

Smoketastic Watermelon 12 mg Review

Another one from Smoketastic! This one is not too bad although, the watermelon flavour is a bit artificial tasting. 


The flavour is refreshing with a sweet exhale but not recommended if you are wanting a real watermelon taste. Depending on your personal preference, this could be ok for an everyday vape. It's flavour is certainly not an offending flavour but just not natural tasting watermelon that I was hoping for. Going to keep searching for a good watermelon e-liquid to try!

Flavour: Watermelon
Likeness to flavour: Poor to average
Stockist: Smoketastic ~ www.smoketastic.co.uk
Price: £2.99
Taste: Light artificial watermelon everyday vape

Overall Score: 5/10

Smoketastic ~ Grape 18mg


Smoketastic Grape 18mg Review

Really pleased with this e-liquid from Smoketastic! Although, it was not exactly what I was expecting from a grape tasting vape. 


The flavour is more like a light fruity bubble gum, not overpowering at all. When we purchased this one we were expecting a wine flavour to come through but you don't get that with this one so, if that's what you are looking for I would keep searching.  Great for an everyday vape and unexpectedly morish! Definitely one to recommend considering the nice flavour and how cheap it is.

Flavour: Grape
Likeness to flavour: Not a match to label but a very nice vape
Stockist: Smoketastic ~ www.smoketastic.co.uk
Price: £2.99
Taste: Light fruity bubble gum tasting

Ezee-Quit Hangsen Hazelnut Coffee 18mg Review


Ezee-Quit Hangsen 
Hazelnut Coffee 18mg Review

Whilst on the hunt for a fresh coffee bean tasting vape, we came across this one and thought it was worth a try. Unfortunately, there is an un-even balance of flavours with this one.

The hazelnut is so strong and overpowering that's all you taste! Hardly any coffee flavour comes through with this vape, which is such a shame. Be prepared to wash your atomizer out a few times, as this one is hard to get rid of. Not one to really recommend!


Flavour: Hazelnut Coffee
Likeness to Flavour: Poor (no coffee taste)
Stockist: Ezee-Quit www.Ezee-Quit.co.uk
Price: £2.99 (4 for £10.00)
Taste: Extreemly overpowering artificial hazelnut taste

Overall Score: 3/10

Ezee-Quit Hangsen Black Jac 12mg Review



Ezee-Quit Hangsen 
Black Jac 12mg Review

Next up is the Ezee-Quit Hangsen Black Jac. The flavour is just perfect! It is pretty close to the original 'black Jack' sweets so, if your a fan then I would highly recommend this vape!


It has that unique blend of liquorice and aniseed that black jack is so famous for. 
The liquorice is the slightly more prominent flavour in this e-liquid. The quality of this vape is great, very morish and I will definitely buy more! Not sure if I would use this as an everyday light vape, just for a nice treat evey now and then!

Flavour: Black Jac
Likness to flavour: Good match to original
Stockists: Ezee-Quit www.ezee-quit.co.uk
Price: £2.99 (4 for £10.00)
Taste: Perfect treat vape

Overall Score: 7/10

Comparing Menthol E-Liquid Vapes



'Menthol Mix'

Menthol 18mg, Strong Mint 18mg 
& Double Menthol 24mg

With previously smoking with menthol filter tips and then finally kicking the habit, it seemed important to get a good menthol e-liquid. So along the way, we have collected a few different cheap range vapes.


1. Cloud9 ~ Menthol 18mg
This is a great natural tasting menthol vape and was actually discovered in a pound shop so worth stocking up for the price. The overall taste is a refreshing strong menthol flavour & not too overpowering. The quality of the vape is actually not bad considering how cheap it was. Also, this one is a good mixer for adding a few drops with a berry or chocolate vape.

Flavour: Menthol
Likeness to flavour: Good - natural menthol 
Stockist: Local Pound-shop or UK Fosters Distribution Ltd 
Price: £1.00
Taste: Good menthol blast flavour

Overall Score: 6/10


2. Hangsen ~ Strong Mint 18mg
This one definitely has more of a mint flavour and is very similar to 'Trebor Extra Strong Mints'. Definitely one I would recommend if you are looking for a minty vape rather than a menthol tasting liquid. The quality of the liquid and vape itself is better than that of the Cloud9 Menthol. The flavour is a nice strong mint tasting vape with a hint of sweetness

Flavour: Strong Mint
Likeness to flavour: Good
Stockist: Hangsen ~ www.hkhangsen.com
Price: £2.99
Taste: Perfect strong mint flavour 

Overall Score: 7/10


3. Smoketastic ~ Double Menthol 24mg
This particular e-liquid is a strong mint sweet tasting vape. Comparing with the Cloud9 Menthol, this one fails to give you a natural tasting menthol flavour and is more like a strong mint. Gives a good vape but quality tastes a bit cheap. 

Flavour: Double Menthol
Likeness to flavour: Poor
Stockist: Smoketastic ~ www.smoketastic.co.uk
Price: £2.99
Taste: Tastes more mint than menthol 

Overall Score: 4/10


Ezee-Quit Hangsen Caramel/Mocha 6mg Review



Ezee-Quit Hangsen 
Caramel/Mocha 6mg Review

Here's another one from the Ezee-Quit range, this time it's Caramel/Mocha! I was actually wanting a 6mg in the Espresso at the time of purchase but they were out of stock so came away with this one instead. Surprisingly, it's not bad and actually is a good substitute for a milky coffee vape.


There is a hint of caramel and mocha together but not very distinctive so if it's a strong caramel sweet chocolatey mocha you are after, this would not be recommended. 
This one is great for an everyday vape if your looking for a mild mocha flavour.


Flavour: Caramel/Mocha
Likeness to flavour: Average (sweet mild mocha)
Stockist: Ezee-Quit ~ www.Ezee-Quit.co.uk
Price: £2.99 (4 bottles for £10.00)
Taste: Mild mocha everyday vape

Overall Score: 7/10

Smoketastic ~ Bubble Gum 12mg



Smoketastic ~ Bubble Gum 12mg 

E-liquid Review

Came across this one by Smoketastic at my local shop so thought we'd give it a try!
If you are looking for an original tasting bubble gum flavour then I would not recommend this particular one but if you are searching for a spearmint chewing gum taste then 
this would be perfect!

In fact the taste of this vape is exactly the same as 'spearmint chews'!

Generally, it has a refreshing taste and would be ok for an everyday vape depending on your personal preference. For Spearmint Chew lovers this is right up your street!
For the price, convenience of purchase & quality of vape itself I would give this 
an average score.


Flavour: Bubble Gum
Likeness to flavour: Poor (not original bubble gum flavour)
Stockist: Smoketastic ~ www.smoketastic.co.uk
Price: £2.99
Taste: Good for a spearmint vape

Overall Score 5/10

Ezee-Quit Hangsen Turkish Delight 6mg Review


Ezee-Quit Hangsen E-Liquid 
Turkish Delight 6mg Review

When searching for an every-day vape I noticed a tempting flavour in the Ezee-Quit menu, Turkish Delight! I have always loved this stuff, either the traditional powdered jelly variety or the sweet shop version by Fry's which is covered in a nice layer of milk chocolate.

So, I bought a bottle in 6mg and first impressions were fantastic. It is a fresh, light vape with floral rose water notes and a burst of lemon on the exhale. It doesn't have the chocolate taste like the Fry's version and in a way I am glad of this as it could make it sickly.  Some people may find it has a flowery perfume taste and this comes from the rose water flavour, but if you like Turkish Delight you will surely appreciate this. I feel it is quite close to the authentic flavour, a quite refreshing after-taste in the mouth and makes you want to go and buy some of the real stuff to eat whilst vaping! there may be better ones out there (see future reviews) but for the price it is a really nice every-day vape. 

Since discovering this particular flavour I haven't looked back. I'm now on to my fifth bottle of it and use it almost exclusively as a day-time flavour.

Overall, a fantastic flavour and highly recommended for Turkish Delight lovers!

Flavour: Turkish Delight
Likeness to flavour: Good - The traditional variety of Turkish Delight
Stockist: Ezee-Quit - www.Ezee-Quit.co.uk
Price: £2.99 (4 bottles for £10.00)
Taste: Pleasant every-day vape

Ezee-Quit Hangsen Raspberry 12mg Review




Ezee-Quit Hangsen E-Liquid Review
Raspberry 12mg



Next up is the Ezee-Quit Hangsen Raspberry e-liquid. I usually like a nice berry flavour and was looking forward to a fruity taste, especially with the 50% extra flavour that Ezee-Quit promise on the box.

First impressions are not favourable I'm afraid! It is so mild it's hard to pick up any raspberry flavour at all, even after steeping for a few days. It's marginally better when you turn the voltage up to 3.8v. If you are looking for a punchy full flavour raspberry e-liquid, avoid this one! I have tasted better ones from the pound shop.


Flavour: Raspberry
Likeness to flavour: Poor
Stockist: Ezee-Quit - www.Ezee-Quit.co.uk
Price: £2.99 (4 bottles for £10.00)
Taste: Extremely mild / weak flavour

Overall Score: 3/10

Ezee-Quit Hangsen Espresso 12mg Review



Ezee-Quit Hangsen E-Liquid Review

Espresso 12mg

We both love coffee so we have been searching for a good everyday vape in this flavour and to be honest, the Ezee-Quit Hangsen Espresso does a pretty good job for the price.

The Ezee-Quit range state that they have 50% more flavour plus the bottle has a user friendly metal dropper, which make filling up much easier!

After tasting this vape, it is more like a rich milky coffee / Latte with a hint of sugar (although we don't take sugar in our coffee it's actually not bad). If you are looking for a strong espresso taste maybe this vape isn't for you. We are still on the hunt for a freshly ground coffee bean taste to review.




Flavour: Espresso
Likeness to Flavour: Medium - More like a Latte.
Stockist: Ezee-Quit - www.Ezee-Quit.co.uk
Price: £2.99 (4 bottles for £10.00)
Taste: Pleasant everyday vape.

Overall score: 7/10

Devices we use


Vaping devices we currently use



We are currently using Vision Spinner 2 (variable voltage 1650mah) and eGo-T (650mah) batteries with Aspire BVC tank and CE4/CE5 atomizers to test the liquids.

Very impressed with the Spinners so far, they have proven to be a good upgrade from the eGo-T batteries which don't last more than a couple of hours vaping. With the Spinners they will almost always last a full day so they are very much recommended for a device that has to travel with you to work etc.

The Vision Spinner takes at least 6 hours to charge fully (white LED) from flat (orange LED)
One word of caution with the Spinner or any V.V battery, if you use a standard CE4/CE5 atomizer, keep the voltage below 4v or the wicks (and possibly coils) tend to give off a burnt taste.

The Aspire BVC tank we use is great at giving a full tasting vape with big clouds. There are however issues with the coil system and we will be doing an in depth review of it in the coming weeks.
