Review: Monkey Fart from JJVapes

Back in January, I told you that I'd be going in a more specific direction going forward.  eLiquids and "cigarette shaped devices" would become the focus of this blog.  That doesn't mean I won't be reviewing other devices too, it just means that eLiquids would be taking a more active role in this blogs future...

So today, in the pursuit of that new direction, I bring you "Monkey Fart" from JJVapes!

January 2014 - Where did it go?

This is an apology post, more than anything else...

This month has been sooooooo busy for me, that I've hardly had time to sleep or poop for that matter!  LOL!  :)

I've got so many things going on in my life right now, that I've had to prioritize!  I know that sounds either cliche or perhaps even like a cop-out, but I swear it's true!  I'm praying that February shapes up to be a little bit calmer, so that I can start cranking out the reviews...

And speaking of reviews (and building on my last post for 2013) I think I'm going to shift the focus of this blog to EXCLUSIVELY reviewing eLiquids AND "Cigarette" look-a-likes.  There's so much you can do with being able to variably adjust everything, from  your battery to your coil to your type and size of wick, but there's also a HUGE contingent of "converts" that isn't having it.  Too many people are plunking down their $79.95 for an eGo-C, iTaste or a Vision Spinner kit and then having a horrible experience, that they're giving up and going back to the Marlboros...

And there isn't ANYBODY catering to OR trying to help build or develop this market (aside from Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds).  And trust me when I say that neither one of them cares one bit about what you or I think about eCigs or how they should be made or function.  Furthermore, don't be too surprised when you see more and more places around the world BANNING the use or sale of eCigs, primarily because one of the above 2 companies have thrown their weight (and their money) at making it happen.

I've tried on 4 separate occasions to get them to comment or offer me something to test and to date, they've refused (or ignored) all of my requests.  Apparently 15-18k readers every month (and consumers for that matter) aren't enough to get either of them interested.

In the mean time, I've got about 8 U.S. based eLiquid makers contacting me every month for me to try their stuff for review.  And I'm so backed up, that I've put off asking ANY of them for anything.  And for that, I apologize.  I'm going to make a concerted effort in the next week or so to get a few more eLiquids in here to test.

As an aside, on New Years Day (at 12:01AM ET) I grabbed the stats for the month of December, so there's still a TOP 10 post for December 2013 needing to be written.  Sigh...

Seriously, thanks to everyone who reads, who comments and who contacts me.  In the secular world, success should not be measured by how much money you make or how many friends you have...  It should be measured by how well you do, whatever it is you do.  And you'll know whether or not you're doing it right, by how often you're asked to do, whatever it is that you do so well!  ;)

Keep your eyes peeled...  O_O
More to come!

Grant's Vanilla Custard Review

As anyone who reads my Blog regularly will tell you, I've been searching for the "perfect eLiquid".  When I say "perfect", I don't mean an eLiquid that everyone agrees is the "best" in the world, I mean one that is perfect, inasmuch as it's made to taste exactly as what it's packaged to be.

Having read (or at least skimmed) dozens of reviews and comments about Grant's Vanilla Custard (GVC for the rest of this review), I decided that I needed to get a hold of some for myself.

Review: 4 eLiquids from Mister E-Liquid

So today I'm going to be reviewing 4 eLiquids from Mister E-Liquid!  If you've read my eLiquid reviews before, you'll know that I apply a no-nonsense, no butt-kissing approach to my reviews.  It's either made correctly or it gets a bad review!

Won't you join me?  Who knows... Maybe Mr. E. is on to something great!?

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!

ProTank Head Longevity Study

So a couple of months ago, it occurred to me that I should really try and figure out how long these heads REALLY last.  But as I tested them, I discovered something that really surprised me...

Review: Vitamin A eLiquid from Hangsen

So today's review is about something that there's next to NOTHING available to read about on the Internet.

If you want to read about Justin Beiber, Google has "About 614,000,000 results".
If you want to read about Jessica Beil, Google has "About 57,500,000".

If you want to read about Hangsen's mysterious Vitamin A eLiquid.....

Well, Google will provide you with exactly "7 results".  Go ahead - try it: CLICK
(And 4 of them take you to this website! - LOL)

Review: 6 Tobacco eLiquids from Hangsen

So I was 75% done with this review and don't ask me what happened, but while this blog entry was saved as a draft, somehow it got erased.  I've contacted Google, but I'm not expecting them to dig it out of their server (perhaps WordPress is in my future).  Anyway, I had written a whole bunch of interesting stuff, but being a bit downtrodden, I'm just going to have to make the best of it.  Since I already covered a lot of background information on Hangsen in my first review of their eLiquids, you should check out that review too...

Upcoming Reviews for August 2013

Being the "log watcher" that I am, I try and determine what people are looking for and I see if it fits into the category of something I would personally want to have or use.

One of the things I see, are hundreds of searches for "Tobacco Flavored" eLiquids.

If you've read my original review about Hangsen eLiquids, I sampled mostly non-tobacco related flavors.  In this upcoming review, I'm going to review these 6 Tobacco Flavors:

Arabic Tobacco Flavor
Cigar Flavor
Cubana
Eastern Tobacco Flavor
Indian Tobacco Flavor
Marlboro Red Flavor

Update 8/26/2013: The Hangsen Tobacco review is UP!  Go get it HERE...

And as a bonus and something I'm sure you've come across in your eLiquid travels....

Vitamin A Flavor eLiquid

Update 8/28/2013: The Vitamin A flavored eLiquid review is UP!, Go get it HERE...

I have no idea what this is.  I can't find any reviews on it anywhere, so I figured I'd be the first.  Keep your eyes peeled...

Hangsen has many flavors to choose from (more than 200 from what I understand), but since money doesn't grow on trees, I have to be somewhat selective when I bring in new devices and eLiquids.

Update 8/16/2013: After months of teasing you, the review for the Sigelei #19 review is being put together as we speak.  Keep your eyes peeled for a revealing and insightful review on Sigelei and this Mechanical Mod!

Update 8/23/2013: The Sigelei #19 Review is UP!  Go get it HERE...

Also (and I eluded to this in a recent post), Tasty Vapers! is now averaging in excess of 11,000 Unique visitors every month and with that kind of readership comes opportunities for sponsorship and other relationships to be formed with makers and sellers alike.  And while I'll never take a penny to review a product, I expect to see more products made available to me at no cost.  Free is always nice, but good reviews only come from honesty, not from money.

As always, thank  you for your support, thank you for your comments and thank you for Liking it, Tweeting it, Sharing it, +1ing it and telling your dog about it, etc...  ;)

Without the support of your dog (errr, you), we wouldn't be where we are today!  ;)

Tasty Vapers! - 6 Month Celebration

6 Months ago I was smokin' like a chimney and absolutely oblivious.  I couldn't have cared less if I got cancer, emphysema or any other health related problems or diseases associated with Analog Cigarettes.

As of yesterday, I've been cigarette free for 180 days and I've avoided more than 7,200 stinkies! I don't know about you, but I think that's quite the accomplishment, especially because I'm not even aware that I did anything.

This Blog was inspired by the idea that other smokers needed an outlet to obtain and attain knowledge about both the pros and cons to eLiquids and Vapor producing devices.  And thanks to readers like you, you've actually made what I have to say relevant.  People not only appreciate honesty, they demand it!  You have my solid promise to never take a single penny, pence or fen from any company whose product (or products) that I don't absolutely love!  And if you've been reading, you know there aren't too many of those!  ;)

This Blog now reaches more than 10,000 readers every single month and as a thank you to each and every one of you, I have eJuice producers and hardware makers and sellers communicating with me and all I can say, is get ready to enjoy some savings!

Hopefully by the end of this month (I did say hopefully), I'll have my very first DEAL featured right here and exclusively @ Tasty Vapers!

So keep your eyes wide open for what's sure to be some incredible deals!

And please, if you appreciate what I'm doing here, by all means, please continue to Like it, Tweet it, Share it, +1 it, tell your dog about it, Blog about it, or otherwise post about it!  I promise you that I am absolutely beside myself, just knowing how much these posts mean to you.

And if you wouldn't mind, PLEASE VOTE in my anonymous poll, it's for a really good cause!

Thank you once again, and hey, post some comments.  I get too many private comments sent to me and not enough public ones.  Consider it your way of saying thank you, but out loud.  In case you didn't know, I've enabled anonymous comments, so no account is required to post one (or two, or three)!

EmpireMods LR510 Review

When a small company from the United States puts their name on a Vaping product, it had better be good.  Trust me, you don't put your name on something unless you know that it's a winner.

So today I'll be reviewing the EmpireMods Bridge Free LR510 1.5ohm Atomizer.  Yes, that's a mouthful, but what I'm really hoping for is a mouthful of delicious, flavorful Vapor!

But allow me to tell you a little bit about my experience with them first...

Kanger ProTank Review - 2nd Followup

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

Both of my blog entries regarding the ProTank are in the Top 5 of the all time page hits on this site.  I promised (somewhere) that I'd do a second followup and this is it!

---

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Kanger really knocked one out of the park, not so much with the ProTank itself, but with the design of their BC Atomizer (bottom coil).

To date, I can find at least 9 10 lots of devices, some made by Kanger and some not, that are designed around using the ProTank atomizers...

CE4 & CE5 - Stardust Review

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

If you started Vaping within the past 2 years, there's a really good chance that you started out with a "Stardust" Atomizer.

I consider this my "most overdue" review, because I left these puppies back in the dust ages ago.  I left them in the dust because I could never get a CONSISTENT Vape out of them and I most certainly was never able to get ENOUGH Vapor out of them either.  However, for millions of people, these either are or were the very first Atomizing device they purchased.

Review: 6 eLiquids from Hangsen

Of all the things that I've been complimented on, my thoroughness and the ability to "tell it like it is" have been the most prominent.  I want you to understand this, before you read this review...

---

Today, I'll be reviewing 6 eLiquids from Hangsen.  Before I begin (and especially if this is your first time reading my reviews) I want you to understand my rating criteria.  Unlike some "website-magazines" that shall remain nameless, I don't require that vendors send me free stuff, so you can be sure that I'll give it to you straight...

KamryTech X10 Review

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

Before we begin, I want to make a statement....

I am an American.  As such, I would always give a U.S.A. Made product the first chance.  As the product that I'm reviewing is a direct competitor to a product that is already made in China, I see no issue.  As with most things, "may the best man win".....

---

So today I'll be reviewing a direct competitor to the Kanger ProTank...
It's called the KamryTech X10...

Some of you might be curious as to why I would want to review this particular item.  The answer is simple.  While the ProTank is currently my favorite device, the thing that makes it my favorite has nothing to do with the design of the ProTank.  It's all about how it performs...  The thing that makes it perform, is not the body of the ProTank... It's the engine!

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.

 

Kanger EVOD Review

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

If you've been reading this Blog, you know that I'm in love with the Kanger ProTank.  Sure, it's got some really tiny issues, but they're nothing, compared to some other devices.

For the first time since I started Vaping, I've finally got something that produces excellent flavor, excellent Vapor, excellent throat hit and lasts a really, really long time between changing out atomizer heads.

But the ProTank can cost between $15 & $23 depending on where you get them from.

The reason that I wanted to test the EVOD out, is because:

36 eLiquids from NicoPure Labs (eVo)

So I came into possession of 36 eLiquids from NicoPure Labs (AKA eVo eLiquid) and I've been staring at the bag that it came in for about a month now.  I'm tired of looking at it, so I figure I have two choices...

1. I can just throw it away (which is what was suggested to me)...
2. I can start reviewing it and make a "Living Blog Entry"...

Review: 4 eLiquids from Uno Vapor

Of all the things that I've been complimented on, my thoroughness and the ability to "tell it like it is" have been the most prominent.  I want you to understand this, before you read this review...

Today, I'll be reviewing 4 eLiquids from Uno Vapor.  Before I begin (and especially if this is your first time reading my reviews) I want you to understand my rating criteria.  Unlike some "website-magazines" that shall remain nameless, I don't require that vendors send me free stuff, so you can be sure that I'll give it to you straight...

eLiquid: Is flavor really subjective?

According to the "experts", what do you think the "dumbest animal" on earth is?

Dog?  Nope, you can train em...
Bird?  You've heard of "bird brains"?  Nope, you can train them too...
Octopus?  Nope. Those guys are crazy smart!
Donkey?  They may be stubborn, but they're no dummies...

The answer is:
