9 South Vapes "Cereal Killa" review

Even though this flavor does not fit my normal profile, I had to give in to the hype and buy a bottle of Cereal Killa. By hype I mean that EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET loves it and every time my local vape shop gets a shipment in, it is gone in a few days.

On their website, 9 South Vapes description reads "Feeling nostalgic? This milky fruity vape will definitely take you back to your saturday morning cartoon days! The Hype is Real..." This translates to a bowl of Fruity Pebbles or the milk that is left after eating a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. I used to love that cereal but don't really get into milk vapor.

So anyways, I bought a bottle the other day and must say the flavor is pretty much spot on what I remember Fruity Pebbles tasting like and pretty delicious. The milk or creamy part is definitely noticeable but not overpowering. It is only available in 90vg with 4mg of nicotine. The throat hit is not bad for this mix. The high vg makes it a visibly thick liquid with clouds to match. I don't love it nearly as much as the rest of the internet but there is something to it that keeps bringing me back. I was caught off guard by this flavor because down deep I wanted to hate it but for some reason I couldn't. Definitely not one of my favorite juices but I can understand the hype a bit more now.

Everything you need to know about E-Cigaretters (via COMPLEX)

E-cigs seem to be quite the hot topic these days. Here is an article Complex Magazine did in an attempt to explain what its all about to the average reader.

Electronic cigarettes, or "e-cigs," are a new alternative to traditional smoking. E-cigs popped up in the U.S. around 2007, and the Wall Street Journal now reports that in 2013, the e-cig industry was on track to make nearly $2 billion in sales, almost tripling its 2012 figures. Damn. This electronic method works by heating up nicotine "juice" and converting it into vapor. Proponents of e-cigs argue that the practice is healthier than traditional cigarettes because users are only inhaling water vapor and nicotine. Because e-cigs are new, they're still relatively a mystery. Here is Everything You Need To Know About E-Cigarettes, as it continues to push its way into the mainstream.

An apple a day keeps the cigarettes away!

When I first made the transition from prefilled cartridges to a refillable e-cigarette, a friend of mine from the Midwest sent me the Big "Stainless" Foos kit. The big battery lasted a lot longer than the cigarette-style batteries and the refillable clearomizer sent me spiraling out of control into the rapidly emerging world of e-juice flavors. My friend also included 2 little (5ml) bottles of juice. One was mango and the other was apple. I hate mango and still have half a bottle sitting on the shelf. The apple was gone in 2 days and I was instantly hooked on this flavor. I considered ordering some more from Foos but that 5ml size is just too small so I hit up my closest vape shop and found this...

Buck Naked Apple E-Liquid
This has been my flavor of choice for almost 2 months now. Its crisp, sweet and tart just like an apple Jolly Rancher stick. The mix is 70/30 so the flavor is really pronounced but doesn't become tiresome and you still get a decent amount of vapor. Sometimes I will mix it with an American tobacco liquid to cut back on the sweetness. I began with 18mg of nicotine but decided to cut back to 12mg because I was enjoying this flavor so much the high level of nicotine started to give me a headache. My only problem with this e-liquid is that they only offer it in 10ml bottles. If this was available in 30ml I would definitely buy it so that I don't run out so fast.

Also I have to mention that their packaging and website look great.

The Vapor Chef - E-liquid

I got my first order of e-liquids from the Vapor Chef in the mail yesterday. Easy online ordering and super fast shipment. I ordered 3 flavors: Some 'Mores, Slartibartfast and Unicorn Poop. They threw in a tester of Deep Thought and a plastic army man.

I ordered these in a 30/70 mix. The high VG content makes the liquid very thick and produces huge clouds of vapor. Out of the box the flavors were not that great but after letting them to sit for a week and shaking the hell out of the bottles I could realize the Chef's vision. Here's my reviews:

Slartibartfast is described as a cherry cavendish tobacco.  A complex tobacco, notes of oak and cherry with a slight hint of vanilla. I feel like this is a pretty accurate description. All the mentioned flavor notes are accounted for though I think it could use a bit stronger tobacco flavor. It does have a richness to it that seems typical of the Vapor Chef flavors I have tried but there is really nothing special here for me. I would give it an average rating and doubt I would re-order this flavor.

Unicorn Poop is described as blueberry cupcakes with white chocolate frosting and a raspberry on top! When I first tried this flavor all I got was sweet. Kind of like white cupcake icing with maybe a hint of some kind of berry. After letting the liquid steep for a week or two and shaking the hell out of the bottle I am really noticing the blueberry cupcake flavor and its pretty nice! I have also mixed with a standard tobacco flavor to cut the sweetness and that is a pretty good combo. I would recommend this flavor is you like rich sweet vapor.

Some 'Mores is described as Toasted marshmallow, chocolate and Graham crackers. The description is pretty accurate except I don't really get any chocolate flavor. The toasted marshmallow really stands out. That being said, I really enjoy this flavor. I ordered it on a whim and it actually turns out to be my favorite of the bunch. Great in the morning with coffee or after dinner for a taste of something sweet. If you are into marshmallow you will dig this flavor. A little more chocolate flavoring and this could be one of my all time favorites.

Bonus Flavor: Deep Thought. Described as Sassafras pipe tobacco.  This is a very deep flavor.  Vanilla, sassafras, deep rich pipe tobacco, a little spice. To me it tasted like pipe tobacco and black licorice. I am not a fan of black licorice so I did not spend much time with this flavor. I do appreciate the free tester though! Thanks chef
