Drive-by Review: Stainless Aspire Vivi Nova

Today I'll be doing my first "drive-by review".  It's a real review of a real device or eLiquid, but cut down in length in order to give you a quick review of something I think is either awesome or destined for the junk heap!

So without further ado, I bring you the Stainless Aspire Vivi Nova!

Alien Visions: Gorilla Juice Review

So earlier this year I reviewed the most renowned eLiquid on the planet Boba's Bounty and I also reviewed a couple of other flavors from Alien Visions as well.

This time, I went back for what has been considered by many to be AVE's #2 best selling eLiquid.  None other than Gorilla Juice!

SmokTech Octopus Review

NOTICE: OBJECTS IN PICTURES ARE SMALLER THAN THEY APPEAR

---

So this is a review and a documentary.  It's a review, because you're going to learn a lot about the SmokTech Octopus Dripper and it's a documentary, because this is my FIRST RDA and even though I've learned a lot from using Genesis style atomizers, working with a dripper (as I'm told) is a whole new experience.

 

Review: 5 eLiquids from Mount Baker Vapor

If you've been Vaping for more than a few months, you've probably heard someone refer to MBV, MtBakerVapor or Mount Baker Vapor.

I've heard the name repeatedly, but I've also heard it in reference to flavors I'd never go anywhere near.  Those of you who follow me, know that I keep away from peaches and mangoes and anything "perfumey" smelling....

Review: 3 eLiquids from Alien Visions

UPDATE: Please participate in our anonymous POLL.  It's for a really good cause!

Even with the AVE website running amuck, Alien Visions is still managing to at least get some orders out the door. ^_^

In this review, I'm hoping to find out if Boba's Bounty is a fluke, or if Alien Visions actually has what it takes to be THE go-to guys for eLiquid.  In the spirit of full disclosure, one of these eLiquids is SOLD BY AVE, not made by them.

Upcoming Reviews for June 2013 - Update

A couple of months ago, I mentioned that I was going to be doing an 18650/18350 Battery review.  Truth is, there's just too much misinformation out there regarding batteries.  Time permitting I should be able to get this one up by the end of this weekend.

Batteries being reviewed:

· Samsung ICR18650-26F (unprotected)
· Samsung ICR18650-30B (protected)
· TrustFire 18650 - 3000mAh (protected)
· EFest 18350 - 800mAh V2 (unprotected)

Update 6/8/2013 - The Battery Review is UP

Next, I'm still working on the Sigelei #19 review.  Out of the box, it leaves a little to be desired.  HOWEVER, I have a neat idea that I haven't seen anyone else try yet that MIGHT actually make this an awesome mod.  Keep your eyes peeled!

My 3 new eLiquids from Alien Visions are in the mail and on their way!  Does AVE have what it takes to make everything delicious, or is Boba's Bounty a fluke?

eLiquids being reviewed:

· Dreamberries
· Watermelon Overload
· Grape Vape

Update 6/11/2013 - The Alien Visions Review is UP

I decided that I needed an RDA (a dripping type of rebuildable atomizer) to be able to get all of the nuances of the different flavored eJuices that I'm reviewing.  I've got an SM2.0 (also referred to as an SM20) on its way from China, and I've got to tell you that I'm really looking forward to this build!  Can anything really taste any better than my Kanger Protank?  We'll just have to see!  I can confirm that it's on its way here and hopefully I'll have it in my hands by the end of this coming week!

Desperate for Boba's Bounty?

UPDATE: Please participate in our anonymous POLL.  It's for a really good cause!

As just about everyone who uses Boba's Bounty from Alien Visions knows, their online store has been closed (at this point) for about 3 weeks now.

Over the past 2 weeks, roughly HALF of all of the hits to this Blog are from people desperate to find anybody selling it.  Trust me, I've thought about having an eBay auction for the 30ml's of 18mg BB that's been steeping for the past 30 days.  So it's ready to go AND it's just sitting there, as I've been testing a lot of new eLiquids lately.  But I'm not going to...  LOL!

Upcoming Reviews for June 2013

So due to a decision I made a week ago, the CCVapes.com eLiquid review has been delayed and will appear on this Blog either 5/31/2013 or during the month of June...

Update 5/31/2013: The CCVapes Review is up!.

Upcoming review #1: Sigelei Mechanical Mod #19

Everybody and their grandma has an opinion on these, I happen to think that this mod is a real diamond in the rough, but only placing one into my hands can confirm that.

Update 8/23/2013: The Sigelei #19 Review is finally UP!

Upcoming review #2: I'll also be doing a re-visit on the Kanger ProTank.

Update 6/3/2013: The ProTank followup is now online Here!

Upcoming review #3: I'll be reviewing 3 different Dekang fruit flavored eLiquids, right off the boat from China.  I've had an excellent experience with the Tobacco flavors, I'm very interested in how well they pull off fruity flavors.  At $6 for 30ml's it's hard to pass up the opportunity.  If they're good, I'll be thrilled.  If not, I can't compain...

Update 6/2/2013: The Dekang review is now online Here!  And I did complain!  :)

Upcoming review #4: 3 new eLiquids from Alien Visions!  They're back online again!  If they can only get their website issues sorted out...  Does AVE have what it takes to make everything delicious, or is Boba's Bounty a fluke?

Update 6/11/2013: The AVE review is now online... Catch it HERE!

Upcoming review #5: I decided that I needed an RDA (a dripping type of rebuildable atomizer) to be able to get all of the nuances of the different flavored eJuices that I'm reviewing.  I've got an SM2.0 (also referred to as an SM20) on its way from China, and I've got to tell you that I'm really looking forward to this build!  Can anything really taste any better than my Kanger Protank?  We'll just have to see!

Update 8/23/2013: The Review for the SM2.0 has put put on permanent hold.  Maybe you'd be interested in the SmokTech Octopus?

Alien Visions: Boba's Bounty Review

UPDATE: Please participate in our anonymous POLL.  It's for a really good cause!

I heard about "Boba's Bounty" within days of becoming a Vaper...

I didn't know what it tasted like, I didn't know where to get some, but I knew that it had developed a following like nothing else has in the land of eCigs and Vaping.  In other words, I knew I was going to have to get some at some point.
