Alice in Vapeland - Mystic Mandalime


Alice in Vapeland - Mystic Mandalime

Vaped on Provari 3.0 Boge Carto/Phiniac Glass Tank @ 4.7 volts

Strength: 18mg

Steep Time: 3 weeks

Throat Hit - mild

Vapor - lots

PG/VG - unknown mix

Rating: 8/10

I received Mystic Mandalime as a free sample with one of my orders from Alice in Vapeland.  I'm a fan of citrus vapes when they are true to life and not candyish, and Mystic Mandalime definitely falls into this category.  This is a very crisp, clean vape, with a very realistic citrus flavor.

After a three week steep, I'm getting a nice balance between the mandarin orange and lime flavors.  Orange on the inhale with a nice lime finish.  I cranked this one up a little higher than my usual 4.0 - 4.2 volts, searching for a bit more flavor and throat hit.  This is a tasty, however, subtle flavored vape.  This one needs just a bit more "punch" to really make it an all day vape for me.  It does provide plumes of fragrant vapor.

This one isn't going to knock my favorite orange (Highbrow's Orange de Sangre) out of it's top spot with me, but that's not to say this isn't a very nice flavor on it's own.  If you are looking for a refreshing citrus vape that makes you think of warm summer days, give this one a shot.

Fancee Juice - Eggnog


Fancee Juice - Eggnog


Vaped on Provari 3.0 Boge Carto/Phiniac Glass Tank @ 3.8 - 5.0 volts
Strength: 18mg
Steep Time: 3 weeks
Throat Hit - mild
Vapor - lots
PG/VG - 70PG/30VG
Rating: 2/5

Eggnog from Fancee Juice was another flavor I tried on my quest to find a nice seasonal vape.  I had high hopes for this juice after my incredible success with Santa's Cookies, but I have admit I'm disappointed with this juice.

Eggnog tastes like vanilla egg custard with nutmeg and I'm not getting that flavor here at all.  All I'm really getting is vanilla, and honestly it's not the best vanilla I've ever vaped.  I'm not tasting the richness of eggnog, and I'm personally not getting any spice with this.  Throat hit is much milder than I would expect at 18mg.  vapor production is plentiful.

This juice is vapeable, just not what I was expecting for an eggnog vape.  Due to price point and the flavor being "off" to me, I would be unlikely to purchase this particular e-liquid flavor again.

Fancee Juice - Santa's Cookies




Fancee Juice - Santa's Cookies

Throat Hit - Packs a punch

PG/VG - 70PG/30VG

I've been trying out some new vendors and trying to expand on juice flavors lately. I had read some good things about Fancee Juice and decided to give them a try. The first thing to note about this vendor is presentation, seriously, this was one of the most beautifully packaged juice orders I've ever received. On top of that, they provided a free sample with my order and they provide a "steep until" date so that you know when your juice is really ready to go.

I've been impatiently waiting for a couple weeks to sample my order. With the holidays here I've been trying some seasonal flavors, and the first Fancee juice I've sampled is Santa's Cookies. 

There isn't a great description of this flavor on the site, and there weren't any reviews at the time I ordered. Based on the picture, I assumed that this was a peppermint/sugar cookie flavor so I was surprised when I started vaping this and the first thing I tasted was chocolate, to be specific I tasted white chocolate. This was mixed with a nice peppermint and cookie flavor. (Also, this juice smells fantastic!)

In my experience chocolate does not translate well into vape and I've had so many bad experiences with it that I generally avoid it. I'm so glad I didn't realize there was a chocolate component to this flavor as I would have missed out on a simply delicious vape. The chocolate is quite mild and is super tasty. It's in perfect balance with the peppermint and cookie. Mint is often overpowering, but not in this instance - you can taste each individual flavor clearly. Throat hit packed a very nice punch and there is plenty of vapor.

I tried this flavor on a lark, I didn't really think it would be my thing and I'm so glad I did. My only regret is that I purchased a sample size. I will definitely be picking up another bottle soon as this is a seasonal flavor and I'm not sure how long it will be around!

This is a truly unique flavor unlike anything I've ever tried. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors I've picked up from Fancee Juice as I have a feeling the rest may be just as good.

Tasty stuff, I highly recommend. They are a little pricier than a lot of vendors, but in this case you are definitely getting what you pay for.
