Vape Kitchen e-liquid reviews by SessionDrummer

Just saw this! Regarding Opus 2 & 3, they just have not been released yet. We now own the rights to all of Vape Kitchen and do have those recipes. We’re just holding off on releasing more flavors as of this moment. :slight_smile:

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for all the likes guys/gals, I appreciate it. I’m not the last word in flavor/juice reviewing, but there were QUITE a bit of heavy hitters in this bunch, but I did not test the entire line. The one thing that kept coming up, across almost ALL of the Vape Kitchen juices I tried, was “unique”. Even ones that didn’t wow me, were still very unique and that’s hard to do in such a crowded marketplace. Congrats out to @Nicotine_River on the acquisition of the VK line !!! If you (cough cough) just happened to have any yet as unreleased, I’ll throw my name in the hat. :slight_smile:

Great reviews here @SessionDrummer wow that took some time for you. Thanks for all the shared information on this line. I think I will get some of the Mango Reserve just to see how it stacks up against my own Mango Sticky Rice. Had no idea they made this profile and I’m curious as to what rice they used in it. If it’s FE Rice mine will for sure beat it. Thanks again for all you’re time on this.

Well thank you very much @Beaufort_Batches, and YES, it does take a LOT of time (hell a lotta cotton too !!!). I appreciate that, it means a lot. These are NOT paid reviews, and I BUY the juices, so, it’s an investment in insanity for sure.

I’ve read much that you have written, and would be VERY curious to see what you think of it, so please drop a line back as to what YOU think of it.

I think I have mixed all of ONE “rice” vape, and you guessed it, it DID use FE rice. Is your Mango Sticky R public ?? Would love to try it out. I mean, seeing as though I’m turning into a Mango Sticky Rice expert (tested, not creator).

Damnit. I am submitting my order this evening. I can not read this thread or it’s going to bite me in the ass. Especially seeing as how there is no NY sale right now.

Damnit @SessionDrummer YOU ARE KILLING ME HERE. I’M SCRAPING BY BUT CAN’T AFFORD YOUR REVIEWS RIGHT NOW…BEHAVE YOURSELF :orangutan: lol

Oops, didn’t realize caps lock was on but I’m too lazy to type it again :wink:

LOL, I’m sorry @MysticRose, consider your ass bitten. Wait, can I say that ?? !!!

Even better. I can safely say, no one has ever said that to me before. I thank you for that Rose.

Your complete, and total honesty, puts you in a rare class Rose.

Tell you what, I’ll ask @daath if the “Skip” button option is still on the table, maybe I can implement that on the top post of my review threads !!!

Excellent, and I do mean that, reviews! Thank you for all your hard work, and I do realize how much work testing really is.

Thankfully, I made it through with only adding Pineapple Whip to my order. I really appreciate all your hard work.

You’re very welcome @MysticRose, and you MUST post up what your thoughts are on that one.

Congratulations! Imo, it’s good fortune to own this line. I have to agree with Session Drummer; very unique, exotic flavorings. To have a bunch of Diyers giving kudos to commercial juice is noteworthy :wink:
My compliments to the chef!

@SessionDrummer I’m reporting back on the BL&C. With recipes of my own I’m working on I haven’t had time for the other VK. But I suspect Opus 1 will be next. Correction: Opus 4

BL&C: Right away my attention was brought to the leaf. Oh yes, I recognized that flavor. I’ve vaped a vast array of NETs and this is the flavor of a nice, mild Black Cavendish. Many Cavendish tobaccos have flavors added but I’m hesitant to say this is a flavored one. Could be wrong but Idk how they achieved this without using a NET. What flavor brand makes an authentic tasting Black Cavendish? What can I say about the bean & cream that you already haven’t? It’s delicious, I love it! All in all a velvety smooth vape easily making this an ADV for me. Below is info on Cavendish Tobacco if curious:

Wow, wow, wow @muth. Love it !!! I am completely UNfamiliar with any NET’s, or Cavendish’s, so I’m going to defer to you on this one. Great write up.

@muth and @SessionDrummer

I bet it has one flavor in it that is the base… I could be wrong, but I doubt it is a net form.
FLV Cavendish…

Unsure of the amount, its rare I even do vendor juice. I do know the flv cavendish :slight_smile:

I guess I don’t know cavendish at all, because I didn’t get any tobacco from it when I was testing it.

Bean Leaf and Cream (Vape Kitchen) 70/30 3mg (12-19-19) – From the Manufacturer …

Our interpretation of a classic. BLC (Bean, Leaf & Cream) is a blend of Tahitian vanilla bean, tobacco and our exclusive Vape Kitchen cream base. It’s satisfying and smooth.

Wow, wow, WOW on this one. I’m testing this on the heels of VK’s Bad Mother Custard, which I did like, BUT, came across as a lot lighter and cleaner than I had hoped. This one (BLandC) started hitting the GOOD button the moment I started vaping it. Immediately I was struck with a much heavier, fuller, and richer experience than the BMC. Out of the gate, the Vanilla Bean is outstanding, and front and center. NOT being a tobacco flavor vaper I didn’t know whether or not to be scared off by it’s inclusion in this one, but surprisingly, I really didn’t get much tobacco WHILE vaping it !!! Maybe it’s layered in there so delicately, and expertly that it just seemelessly adds to the really rich overall taste of this, but I can only assume that. Repeated vaping didn’t really reveal any detectable tobacco, which worked out fine for me. The finish for me, was just a clean transition from the Vanilla rush on the front end, into a hell of a good creamyness. Wow, let’s vape that one again …Yup, that’s about it. Sweetness if about perfect, not too much, just enough. If you’re looking to only try a few from VK, this should be one of them. Very rich and full vanilla on the front end, transitioning into a super good creamy finish. I can’t add any more to this one. Let’s just leave it @ 10/10 so I can vape it some more !!!

Well now I’ll have to get that one. If FLV Cavendish is what they use in here it’s a winner for sure! Assuming it is…bravo for Flavorah :+1:

I’m not surprised because most of us have never tasted Pandan jelly. It would be very hard to find something if you don’t know what you’re looking for but I think I honed in on it just a wee bit.

Pandan has a very sweet flavor with an aroma of floral grass. It complements sweet dishes better than savory ones. Pandan is often referred to as the vanilla of Asia. Dried leaves don’t have any flavor to them.

The main ingredient for the Pandan jelly is mung bean starch. Mung bean starch is a powdery, white starch made from mung beans. It’s commonly used to make bean thread noodle, also called cellophane or glass noodle. This starch has gelling properties making it a wonderful ingredient in vegetarian jellies .

I’m starting to understand better my relationship with the Vape Kitchen line. It’s an acquired taste much like my first experience with cilantro in Thai food. I thought it tasted like soap. Now I love it. Or how ginger use to sicken me. Today, I grate 1-2 tbsp of fresh ginger root on my lunch everyday. These are flavors that the original chef created from his own cultural experience that I’m not familiar with. But, boy, am I acquiring some new tastes!

OPUS 4 describes on it’s label “Toasted almonds, toasted coconut and Spanish saffron.” For me, the almonds are dominant. I have trouble detecting the coconut. The proprietary cream base is there smoothing things out and the saffron is a flavor even chefs find difficult to describe.

Saffron has a very subtle flavor and aroma — some say it’s floral, some say it’s like honey, and some would just say pungent. The flavor can be hard to nail down and described. If you’re going for authenticity in dishes like paella and bouillabaisse, you’ve got to have saffron

Still, I enjoy this juice but think I’ll add some coconut to satisfy my coconut craving. Keeping with @SessionDrummer 's ratings, personally I give this a 7.5/10. YMMV
