What’s up vapefam!
SirRisc here with another review of juice straight from the UK!
Today I’ll be telling you about a new UK vendor, Novavapes!
Premise.

NovaVapes recently introduced themselves on our European subreddit and I have to say they made a name for themselves right away.
Not just because they have great juice at cheap prices, but also because they’ve been the subject of a lot of laughs about bad labeling.
Unfortunately this was also the case for the samplepack they sent out to me, two labels apparently had been switched. The Sour Fruit Crush bottle has Tropical Glacier in it, and vice versa.
Despite the problems they’ve had with their labels, the juice is well worth checking out.

The review.
All the liquids were tested in
- Doge V2, dual clapton coil at 0.38ohm with 0.51mm core and 0.2mm wrap Kanthal A1, wicked with rayon
- Troll, dual coil at 0.4ohm with 0.51mm Kanthal A1, wicked with rayon
- Freakshow Mini at 0.8ohm with 0.45mm Kanthal A1, wicked with rayon
As always these were put on different mods, including but not limited to, Sigelei 100W+, Sigelei 50W VR2, Heatvape Invader Mini, P4Y IPV Mini II, …
Wattage ranged from 25W to the full 100W on the Sigelei 100W+, depending on what I felt like that day.
Each juice was tested for at least a day as my all-day-vape.

Ingredients: 3mg/ml nicotine, PG 30 / VG 70
Description on the website:
Rainbow Dust - A complex juice that gains it’s roots from rainbow sherbet. A distinct and unique taste Rainbow Dust offers a different vaping experience and a variety of different tastes on inhale and exhale. For something different and an all round great juice, Rainbow dust is just fantastic!
My review:
Scent: A sweet candylike blend of fruits
Color: Clear with a subtle brown/yellow hue
Taste: If you like your vape sweet, you’ll probably like this juice.
The inhale is overpowering blend of fruits with a very candylike character, very sweet but also very full bodied.
The exhale is mix of sweet, soft and fruit. It does taste like rainbow sherbet, but it has a warmer character to it.
Tasty, but a little too sweet for an all-day-vape!

Description on the website:
Sour Fruit Crush - A special and unique blend of sour and sweet fruits to give a tangy taste that is enjoyable all round. Sour fruit Crush is a mixture of apples, pears, melons and more with an added sour bite! Sour Fruit Crush is a delicious and wonderful juice, allowing for a complex mixture of flavours without being overpowering, the sourness sits just right and leaves a tingle on the tongue.
My review:
Scent: Mainly sweet melon with a subtle apple note
Color: Crystal clear
Taste: A very soft inhale consisting of a dominant melon flavor with subtle notes of sweet pear and apple.
There’s no discernable throat hit to this one, it’s smooth as silk and very flavorful.
The exhale is slightly different but the melon remains the dominant flavor.
The pear and apple notes disappear quickly while the melon lingers for a couple of seconds.
An original take on a melon flavored juice, I quite like it!

Description on the website:
Graham Custard - A delightfully thick and creamy custard with a beautiful body of Golden Graham’s! This cereal based vape is best paired with a cup of coffee. Recommended to let this one steep for a few weeks, fantastic juice.
My review:
Scent: Smells like cookies with a soft cream accent
Color: Deep amber
Taste: Grahams Custard… where do I begin? It’s thick, it’s creamy, it’s bloody beautiful.
The inhale is a thick and creamy mess of custard with a slight herbal note, that would be the Golden Grahams.
Now personally I don’t like to eat Golden Grahams, but this is a nice vape. It’s very full and very moreish.
The exhale is a sticky mess of custard and Golden Grahams that lingers on the tongue for quite a few minutes.
Delicious!

Description on the website:
Tropical Glacier - A blend of tropical fruits with a crisp and icy tone. A refreshingly sweet and minty delight for them warm summer days. The cool peppermint touch accompanying the fruity tone makes for a very tasty juice!
My review:
Scent: Peppermint with sweeter candy notes
Color: Clear with a subtle brown hue
Taste: In the words of the great George Takei: Oh my!
This is definitely something I like! A very cool peppermint blended masterfully with fruit.
The inhale is smooth and feels very cool to the throat, the peppermint is not dominant but provides a fresh flavor accent mixed with a fruit blend.
The exhale brings out the fruit a bit more and has general sweeter taste to it, while still being cooled by the peppermint.
A very good vape during summertime!

Description on the website:
Cobra Venom - A unique favourite that offers a delicate blend of citrus, fruits and peppermint to bring a refreshing fruity and menthol bite. A highly recommended juice, not to be missed!
My review:
Scent: Bubblegum with a subtle spearmint accent
Color: Clear with a yellow hue
Taste: The spearmint in this tastes like menthol bubblegum for some reason, but it’s not as intense.
The citrusnotes are subtle and serve more as a sweetener, making the flavorprofile a little more balanced.
Inhaling tastes like spearmint bubblegum, exhaling is more of a cooled fruit mix.
It’s not bad, but I prefer Tropical Glacier over this one. It has more punch to it.

Description on the website:
Strawberry Milk - A smooth and creamy milkshake blend with a strawberry body. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth! Our prized juice and all time favourite! An all round great juice and highly recommended.
My review:
Scent: Lush cream with a strawberry accent
Color: Deep amber
Taste: Right, two of my favorite things in a juice: strawberry and cream.
And it does what it says on the tin, it’s damn creamy and it has strawberries a plenty.
The inhale is a sweet strawberry cream, almost with a custard profile to it. It’s full bodied and the cream is really thick.
The exhale brings out the cream even more and feels as if you’ve just had a strawberry shake, it lingers on the tongue and will have you grab your APV again soon.
Freakishly moreish and even creamier than cream!

In conclusion.
Despite the mixup of labels, and the general shenanigans on our IRC, I’ve grown fond of Novavapes.
Tropical Glacier and Strawberry Milk are definite hits in my book. All in all, I think they have the potential to be one of the better mid-end vendors.
At the pricepoint they’re now sitting at, the quality is very good and they provide a good range of different flavors.
In essence they’re a perfect match for that very first vaping experience, I’d highly advise new vapers to give them a shot.
In closing, I would like thank Novavapes for sending out their range of juices for review. I highly appreciate the trust and confidence!
And of course thank you all for reading, your support keeps me going with these reviews!
