Rocket Fuel Vapes - Juice Review Part 3

Hey Everyone!  I back to finish up on my reviews of the first shipment I received from Rocket Fuel Vapes.

Be Mine, Clementine - "Be Mine, Clementine combines rich, delectable dark chocolate with fresh orange for a complex and distinguished flavor." - I was very pleasantly surprised when I tasted this juice.  The inhale was a slightly sweet chocolate like a pure coco cooking powder ad the exhale that lingers was a sweet juice orange flavor.  I was a little apprehensive about vaping a chocolate flavor but I'm so glad I tried this one, I really like it.   

Peachy Keen - "TOP-RATED! Peachy Keen’s homemade peach cobbler taste mixes ripe peaches with buttery cinnamon crumble for a unique flavor experience." -  The description says it all.  The juicy peach is on the inhale with a nice bite of  sweet cinnamon on the exhale.  The cinnamon is another one I was a little apprehensive about, but It's really good.  If you have had a peach crumble then you know the taste of this juice.  The buttery cinnamon crumble is on the back side and it's so close to the warm crumble that comes from the oven.  

I realized that I have done reviews on Rocket Fuel Vapes juice, but I hadn't really talked much about the company nor did I give many details on their juice.  There are a few details I love about this company especially being an Austinite.  The bottles are amber color and UV shielding, that is kinda important for those of you who store your bottles anywhere near windows, we get really hot summers.  The bottles are also recyclable PET bottles, like our water bottles.  I think that is important in these parts because of our "green" status.


Rocket Fuel Vapes mixes all their juices with a 70% PG and a 30% VG, this is the opposite of what I normally vape.  That is why their juice line has a little bit of a throat hit to them, but the flavors are sweet enough to help the throat hit not be really harsh.  I really like their juice line and I will be back for more.

***Disclaimer***  All reviews are my opinions, I don't gain anything by doing the reviews, I did pay for a portion of the juice in this review.  I am honest and try to be thorough.  I do hope you enjoy our reviews.  I did not use my Sentinel M16 clone for this one, I actually dropped the juice in my Protank 2 with a MVP2.

Rocket Fuel Vapes - Juice Review Part 2

HI Everyone!  I am posting another Rocket Fuel Vapes review.  I had received 5 - 10 mls and a sample size of their newest addition to their juice line.  I already did a review on the newest juice Strawberry Fields and The Cat's Meow by Rocket Fuel Vapes.

Here is the link to the first review - http://austinvaporcommunity.blogspot.com/2014/03/rocket-fuel-vapors-juice-review.html

OK lets get to why you are reading this blog, the reviews...  =}

I was trying to decide which one to try first, as I have 4 more flavors to review. So, I decided to go with 2 that have different flavor profiles.  The first one is the

Bee Sweet - "SWEET HONEY! Bee Sweet blends golden honey and brown sugar with undertones of sweetened figs and pears for a fragrant, smooth and distinguished sweet taste with staying power." -  I was not sure how this one was going to taste with the sweet honey, brown sugar, fig and pear flavors.  I will have to be honest though on my thoughts of this one, the sweet honey reminds me of chewing on a raw honeycomb straight from the bees nest.  It was very strong and sweet, with the brown sugar it made it even stronger in the sweetness of it.  The brown sugar also tasted like a raw brown sugar, like chewing on a sugarcane branch.  The pear and fig were both on the exhale and not overly sweet, the pear though gave it a slight bitter taste, like a bitter and slightly sweet pear.  I am not a huge fan of this one but its just my palette, I think it's because I'm not a fan of pears.  If you like pears and sweet honey then I would say you have to try this one!  

Love Potion No. 9 -    "TOP RATINGS: Love Potion No.9 fuses sweet, juicy peach with subtle hints of fig and blueberry for a smooth, luscious taste." - This juice is really good!  The peach is on the inhale and it is what it promises to be, a lovely sweet juicy peach like you find right at the top of the season.  I love the sweet slightly tart blueberry on the exhale, the fig is not as prevalent, its a little more hidden.   I love peaches and blueberries and this is a great vape.  There is a throat hit on this one, but it's not bad at all.  I am a fan of this one!

#IMPROOF Movement - Dawn's story

Hey all!  I have decided I need to finally tell my story of how and why I now vape and stopped smoking.  I have vowed to be a part of the #IMPROOF Movement.  I made this vow in November of 2013 though I had quit smoking in March of 2013. This is my story of why I made the decision to quit and start vaping. 

I have tried to quit smoking many times through out my 23 years of smoking.  I tried the patch, the gum, "cold turkey", I even tried using sunflower seeds to help with the hand to mouth habit, I could not commit to any of it, nothing helped at all.  I have a family history of cancer, all different types.  My grandma-ma had passed away from COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), I was very close to her to the point that I called her mom, She was my best friend and my confidante.  She was a smoker ever since I can remember so was my grandfather (her husband).  I have many smokers in my family, even now, but I am working on getting them to quit smoking and start vaping as well.  Anyway back to why I quit...   I was in the medical field and I saw a lot of stuff but watching my grandma-ma suffer from COPD was one of the worse things I ever saw. The pain she felt, the inability to breath, the weakness she suffered everyday.  I didn't live with her the whole time she was sick so I didn't see everything, I also didn't see how badly she declined towards the end, due to living in another city.  I did visit her, but I still didn't see everything.  I love her and I miss her dearly!  

I went to church and I saw a bunch of people vaping, I knew a little about it but not much.  So, I started asking questions and found out a couple I go to church with own a vapor store. I went into the shop one day got more information and tried a few tobacco flavors then I went home and decided to talk to my youngest son about it (He was 16 and was a smart ass LOL).  I asked him if he would be OK with me vaping instead of smoking. I then stopped and looked at him and asked if he even knew what that meant.  He told me "yes, MOM!?!?  I have friends who do it.  And I have seen people at school as well as other places using those vapor thingys."  I laughed at this response and asked WTH, kids at school doing it.  I told him kids shouldn't be doing it and they really shouldn't be doing it at school either.  He agreed with me and also told me not to worry he won't do it, he has no desire to smoke or vape.  So, the next week I went back to the shop and got my starter kit.  I told my son that was part of his 17th birthday gift, he smiled and said he was happy with that.

I had started with a sweet tobacco flavor with a 36 nic level, 3 months later I went to a 30 nic level then 5 months later to a 24 nic level.  I have just recently went to an 18 nic level and I am still satisfied with vaping.  I have been vaping for one year and I am really glad I started.  As you have seen, in this blog, I have now turned it into a hobby.  =}   I go to the pool hall for league night and there are other vapers as well as smokers too, I smell like a bar when I leave.  I have to get my stinky clothes off as soon as I get home, my hair, clothes and purse smells like smoke.  I now know why my mother always picked on me about smelling so bad, when I smoked.  I will not go back to smoking again!  I am SO happy that I decided to quit and start vaping.  I am also very happy that my other half has been very supportive as well, he smoked when we went out and some times when he drove long distances, but he is now a social vaper.  So there are no longer any smokers in the house.  

Like I said I had already tried to quit multiple times, then with my grandma-ma's situation, me wanting to be here longer for my son and making a promise to my son, I became a vaper.  So, I am part of the #IMPROOF Movement!

I have helped others, I have been called a Vape adviser LOL, I am willing to help anyone who is wanting to quit smoking.  I help others by giving them as much information as they need to point them in the right direction, from what starter kit to choose to what juice flavors and tobacco flavors to start on, as well as what nic levels they may want to try out first.  I love helping others and if being a "vape adviser" helps them quit smoking, then I'm all for it.  =}

Uncle Junks Genius E-Juice Vapemail

I got Vapemail from Uncle Junks Genius E-Juice, I was very surprised when I was sent 8 bottles, that is their whole line. They where all wrapped tightly in bubble wrap and go to me safe.  The bottles are a clear bottle with a clear glass dripper. The labels are nice and clean and the font is too. Uncle Junks E-Juice has a different range of flavors, so I'm excited to break the seal and get to tasting.  I am doing a vapemail summary on this line due to the fact that there are 8 of them and I want to set up a meeting with my partner and have him do a few reviews on the flavors too.  =} (I'm a sharer LOL) 

"Uncle Junk's Genius Juice offers unique custom e-juice flavors to satisfy all of your vaping tastes.

Our ratio is 70VG/30PG for a savory taste & great vapor production.

Our e-juices come in nicotine levels of 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg and 24mg.

Uncle Junk's e-juices are available in 15-ml bottles and 30-ml bottles"

"Bettie White - Who doesn't love this lady? One of our best seller's, Bettie White has a pomegranate base with subtle hints from the apple family. This eliquid has a full-flavor that won't wear out your taste buds!" 

"Monica's Eyes - This eliquid is inspired by a girl named Monica with beautiful and bright blue eyes. Monica gave this juice a 10 out of 10 in it's testing phase. Monica's Eyes is a tasty mix of cantaloupe, kiwi, and other fruits."

"Savannah - Named after Uncle Junk's daughter, Savannah is simple yet savory blend of peaches & oranges. This flavor is reminiscent of a 50/50 Orange Creamsicle bar."

""Honey Do" - Unlike your typical honeydew eliquids, Uncle Junk's "Honey Do" is a refreshing combination of honeydew melon along with other juicy summer melons. "Honey Do" is perfect for people who are searching for a sweet & fruity eliquid."

"Belgianberry - This combination of Belgian waffles and wild berries will have you craving breakfast all day long." 

"Grapeful Grace - Uncle Junk's Aunt Grace has a knack for good home cooking and canning homemade jams and jellies. She has spoiled her nephew for years with her stellar kitchen skills, so it's no surprise that she is the inspiration behind this blend of grapes and exotic fruit. Grapeful Grace is currently a house favorite."

"Hard Lemonade - You won't find this eliquid at the corner lemonade stand, but this refreshing vape with a kick will satisfy your summertime thirst all year round."

"Jon Wayne - Jon Wayne is proof that a really good vape is worth the wait. Uncle Junk spent months perfecting this blend of savory and sweet tobacco flavors." 

All of the descriptions above are from their website.  Keep an eye out for the reviews, as you can tell there will be more reviews coming, a lot more coming!

*** Disclaimer ***  I was sent these juices for review purposes, I did not pay any thing for these bottles, I only gained this juice for the reviews. All opinions are mine.

Elite Vapor - A Shop Review

I went into Elite Vapor in Round Rock Texas, I was half ass greeted.  There was only one person working and I was the only person in the shop.  The shop smelled like a generic vapor shop, kind of new but you could definitely smell the tobacco scents as well.   They had great glass display and they were not cluttered or too stuffed to over whelm a new vaper.  I noticed there was any thing from your basic ego/kanger/vision starter kits all the way to expensive mods. There were 2 stations 1 in the front for fruity and desert juice flavors the 1 in the back was for tobacco and drinks, it looked like it was suppose to be set up like a social lounge.   Each flavor was in a small tank, 1.6 Ml tank. They where on a lazy susan and marked for each flavor.  There were suppose to be silicone tips for you to use to try each flavor, but there were not any silicon tip covers, not a single one.   The premium flavors were in a case you had to ask for them, the only premium juice he let me try was a Suicide Bunny and that was it, just one. As, I was there 2 guys walked in and they were greeted right away and then the guy conversed with them, unlike with me.

This is the view from the back of their shop...

This is the set up of one of the "flavor stations"... (tobacco and drinks)  as you can tell there is a cup in the center, that is where the silicon tip covers are suppose to be and there is not a single one in there. I don't know if I'm the only one or not, my I think there should be a way to get them out (when they are in there) other then your hands, I don't want to grab one and stick it to my lips after everyone else has had there grubby hands in there. (just my opinion)

I did try a few of their flavors after wiping down the tips with an antibacterial wipe, but I couldn't tell the difference in them.  The tobacco flavors smelled and tasted the same, the dessert flavors also the same way. The juices have not been perfected, I'm not sure what the owner of this shop wanted out of this product but it seems like it was more about quantity and not quality.  So, my verdict is not good on this place.  I don't want to do any bad reviews, but I promise you guys I would always be honest.

This is there menu, it is spiral bind and has their juice flavors in it along with the premium juice they carry, I took a pic of the page that has their pricing.

I did get some silica and wire so I can rebuild my coil on my Nimbus clone for juice testing/tasting. I also bought a colorful drip tip (after leaving there I went to another shop and found the same tip 3 bucks cheaper)  The prices for certain things are in comparison to other shops, but there are other things that are more expensive.

This is the drip tip I picked up...

It matches my JWrap As you can tell it doesn't fit
Perfect in my Protank2

I want to say again I don't really want to drop negative reviews, but I can't be anything but honest.  So, yes this is a negative review. You can check them out for yourself and see what you think, but I will not return, there are so many more shops popping up in the area so I will do more reviews good or bad on many more.

***Disclaimer***  The opinions in this post are my own and no one else, I did not and am not gaining anything from doing a review on this shop.  I purchased the items I got from this shop and not at any discount, I paid their prices.

Rocket Fuel Vapes - Juice Review

I know I am running a little behind on this review and I apologize, I have been in the middle of a move. Anyway lets get to why you came here.  =}

The original shipment

I have tested/tasted 2 out of the 5 bottles and the sample Rocket Fuel Vapes sent me.  I wanted to test the sample on first because it was the being launched on March 1, 2014.  I really liked it, but I am partial to strawberry vapes.

Strawberry Fields - "features delicious, ripe strawberries and rich country cream with just a touch of buttery crumble for a complex and satisfying strawberry vape.  {AVAILABLE ONLINE 3/1/14} NEW!" - I got on the inhale and exhale a sweet smooth strawberry vape, the buttery crumble came after a long inhale then exhale, but it is not really prevalent.  I really enjoyed this but like I said I am partial to strawberry vapes.  I'm really glad I was sent this, yes it was a sample size but I can see an order in my near future.  =}

The second one I did was The Cat's Meow - "blends the taste of homemade buttercream cookies with hints of fresh white coconut for a smooth, sweet eliquid flavor.  PEOPLES’ CHOICE" - I know why this is a peoples' choice or one of their best sellers.  It reminds me of a cookie you find during the holidays. - On the inhale I get the complex taste of the white coconut and the buttercream cookie at the same time.  It is very much a desert vape, it really does taste as described - a cookie!  I am very happy about this vape and I can see myself running out of it pretty fast.

I am very happy with Rocket Fuel Vapes so far, It seems like they take their time to make quality juice and the flavors are exactly as they describe them to be.  Stay tuned I have 4 more form Rocket Fuel Vapes as well as others to come.
