Vapor Liquids: Cendol Melaka

I'm not sure by whom is Cendol Melaka brewed by but the only other line of text on the label is Vapor Liquids. Which sounds like a name for an advanced low-key super-corporation of vape creators. A General Electric for vapes so to speak. It is one of the juices in my subscription box for the month of December.

Judging by the name, this is a locally produced juice and would fit into the dessert category of juices.

On the bottle, you will find some pictures of Malaccan landmarks.

For example, this clock thing.

And this other thing. Sue me. I don't travel often.

Flavor

The first thing you notice when you vape this juice is a taste of red bean. A kinda creamy red bean would be one way to put it. It may also bring to mind the flavor of the local brown sugar syrup (locally called Gula Melaka) taste.

It is a warm vape with seemingly no menthol or mint content which may be surprising as you'd expect something named after an ice-cold dessert to contain some form of cold minty flavoring.

Strangely, for a dessert-flavored juice, it does not taste sweet so if you absolutely hate those super sweetened juices, this may help clear your palette after a session of Ice Mango Lime or something.

Ratio

This juice is a  60/40 PG/VG blend so most tanks should take it but the creaminess will deceive you into thinking that it thicker and creamier than it actually is. I find that this juice also tends to gunk up the coils and wick in my Subtank Mini more quickly than other juices.

Nicotine

This juice contains 6mg nicotine but I rarely ever got a strong throat hit or nicotine high. What I do feel is a very warm sensation in my throat.

Power Settings

For this juice, the creamy and warm flavor made me decide to use my Mutation X V4 RDA to experience the vape. As I mentioned before, the creamy and milky taste makes you believe that a regular tank can not handle a 'thick' or 'heavy' liquid such as this. Which turns out to be the correct decision as this juice tends to gunk up the coil and wick of my Subtank Mini.

The RDA being set at 0.3 Ohms and vaped at 30W seems to be the perfect balance for me where the vape does not get overly warm and yet still outputs a large amount of creamy desserty flavor.

Overall Experience

Dessert tasting juice which doesn't give out any noticeable throat hit nor nicotine hit. Very creamy and milky taste but not much sweeteners at all. It is also a very warm vape with no detectable trace of mint. 

If you're looking to taste a creamy red bean vape, this should fit the bill.

Twelve Monkeys: Mangabeys

Twelve Monkeys's Mangabeys, is one of the juices in my subscription box for the month of December. It's one of the internationally brewed juices which Vapeclubmy occasionally sends in their subscription boxes. It is a juice 'made in Ontario, Canada'.

It comes in a glass 30ml bottle with a somewhat unique looking cap.

Left; Unique dropper cap. Right: Standard dropper cap

It says Intelligence on the bottle but I'm not sure what this refers to. I'm assuming it is not the brewer because right under the Twelve Monkeys title, it states Vapor Co, meaning the brewer's name is actually Twelve Monkeys.

Flavor

I believe this is a cloud-chaser's juice because the taste is quite muted and there is totally zero nicotine content. From their website, here is the description of this juice.

Tropika’s Caribbean cousin has arrived! Mangabeys is related in concept yet distinctive in flavour. Mangabeys will transport you to the sunny carefree shores of the Caribbean islands. This bright and fresh blend of Pineapple, Guava and Mango is accented by a myriad of Caribbean fruits and  is the perfect companion for a day basking in the warm tropical sun. Let Mangabeys’ Caribbean specific fruits give you a taste of the island lifestyle!

Despite that long list of fruits which is supposedly in this blend, the most outstanding flavor which I can identify is the guava. Even then, it is not all that pronounced.

Ratio

This juice is a  20/80 PG/VG blend (refer to previous fig.) so take note of this before you pour it in a tank. I actually got a Mutation X V4 clone just to taste this juice properly.

Nicotine

This juice contains 0mg nicotine and the throat hit is practically non-existent and thus so is the nicotine-high.

Power Settings

As previously mentioned, I actually got a Mutation X V4 clone just to taste this juice properly. It's a dripper which I have set to 0.3 ohms and set to vape at 3.2V or about 35W on my Subox mini.

Overall Experience

Mangabeys is a very mild flavored juice which excels in vapor production and not so much on the flavor. Good for a fogging session when you're bored hanging out with friends and just decide that you want to blind them for no good reason.

Or if you're not a hanging out with vape-bros kinda guy/guy-ette then trippy swirly smokey smokes on the table at home is also something you could do with it.

Puffbot Was Here: Freezing Genting Handcheck

In case you didn't know by now, vaping in sub-twenty degrees (celsius) temperatures is an unspeakably awesome experience.

So on Xmas, I went up to Genting with the romantic companion and you couldn't see anything more than 10 meters in front of you. Signs showed the temperature to be around 17.3 °C.

The wind was blowing hard making the temperatures feel even more insanely low than it already is.

So if you're a vaper in Malaysia, and you haven't tried vaping in these temperatures, give it a go!

Indigo: Pop My Cherry

Indigo, subtitled Pop My Cherry, is one of the juices in my subscription box for the month of December. It doesn't mention where it originates from but I'm going to assume that vapeclubmy's subscription box gives me mainly locally (Malaysian) brewed juices.

It comes in a very nice matte-surface bottle which comes equipped with a dropper. Fancy.

Flavor

The bottle says that it is a Premium Vape Liquid and also an All-Day-Vape. It also describes the flavor as a 'good old-fashioned sarsaparilla with a dash of cherry' which I cannot put it any better myself. So basically cherry sarsi. 

The flavor is very mild in terms of fruitiness and mintyness. It's very pleasant tasting and I don't think I've tasted anything else like this. A good ol' mellow juice for your chillout sessions.

Ratio

This juice is a  50/50 PG/VG blend so most tanks will accept it.

Nicotine

This juice contains 6mg of nicotine but compared to other 6mg juices, this doesn't give you a sudden rush from the nicotine. Not sure why that is but it is nice to get a gradual relaxing feeling instead of a sudden urge to collapse to the floor and kill yourself.

Power Settings

With the standard review settings of 3.2V (20.5W at 0.5 Ohms), the vape tastes mild and pleasant. Increasing the wattage naturally increases the flavor but I never found myself needing to do that as the default review settings already gives a nice balanced flavor.

Overall Experience

Indigo: Pop My Cherry is a nice mellow juice to vape to when you're generally relaxing and just feeling mellow. It doesn't hit hard like other juices (which I sometimes use as Wake-up Juice) and gives me the impression that it should be vaped in a generally upper-class setting like your friend's posh garden patio.

Big Bully #bpkkaubiru

Interesting name for a juice. Let's break it down. It says 'bpk' 'kau' 'biru'

'bpk' is presumed to be a short form for 'bapak' which just means 'father'. 'bpk kau' in Malay is a common term generally used for playfully insulting one of your friends until they cry. Or a general term colloquially also used as a 'no fucking way' kind of context.

There's not much to say about this juice except for the fact that it tastes a lot like Kryptic.

It is one of the juices that came in my subscription box from vapeclubmy.com for the month of December.

Flavor

On the bottle, the label describes the flavor to be grape slurpee. However, as I mentioned before, it tastes like Kryptic, so in a sense, this juice tastes like strawberry. It is not as strong as Kryptic's so if Kryptic is a little too flavorful for you, #bpkkaubiru is for you. 

It is also relatively minty and gives a nice cool feel in the throat. Compared to Kryptic, this doesn't chill the throat as crazily as Kryptic does. So if Kryptic is too chilly for your tastes, get #bpkkaubiru.

Ratio

On the bottle, you will find that it says 60/40 PG/VG mixture. So it's a flavor oriented kinda juice.

Nicotine

This juice contains 6mg of nicotine and just about a minute of chain vaping, the nicotine goes right up there quite quickly.

Power Settings

With the standard review settings of 3.2V (20.5W at 0.5 Ohms), the vape feels cool and minty and the flavor is pleasant and not overbearing.

Overall Experience

#bpkkaubiru is a nice fruity vape for when you want a mild yet minty vape. It has a nice balance of flavor and mintiness and does not overwhelm you as much as Kryptic would.

AJ Vape: Mango Blackcurrant

A juice I got while roaming around Centrepoint, Bandar Utama. Was hungry for some mango flavors (and to counter the brain-freezing effects of Ice Mango Lime) when I stopped by WowowVape in Centrepoint where they very kindly allowed the tasting of plenty of flavors.

My so called solution to the brain-freezing antics of Ice Mango Lime.

This abomination is impossible to vape on it's own.

Flavor

This juice is supposed to be a mango blackcurrant mix but the flavors of both seem to come up short. It's best described as a mainly blackcurrant flavored juice with very mild mango flavoring. Not sure when you would want a juice which is that mild. Maybe when you're stealth-vaping?

Ratio

It doesn't say on the bottle but I'm guessing it is a 50/50 PG/VG mixture since the consistency of the juice seems pretty runny.

Nicotine

It says Low on the bottle and the throat hit is pretty non-existant so I'm going to guess it has around 3mg of nicotine for this particular juice.

Power Settings

With the standard review settings of 3.2V (20.5W at 0.5 Ohms), the vape feels warm and generally unremarkable. Increasing the wattage doesn't improve the flavor by much and it just gets a bit hotter. 

Overall Experience

This juice turns out to be quite unremarkable for me. Flavor is tame, throat hit is also tame. Recommend bringing a mixer to vape this juice. Rude Beer and Ice Mango Lime are suitable candidates to enhance the flavor of this juice.

Minty mixers suitable for improving tame juices

Kryptic

Hi. This is the first bottle of juice that I will review. The review system is still a work-in-progress so do not be alarmed if the system gets streamlined in the future!

The Kryptic bottle in all it's cryptozoological glory. This's what Tasmanian Tigers taste like. Say that 5 times fast.

Kryptic is one of the five juices I received through the Vapeclub Malaysia monthly subscription box. I'm no stranger to the Kryptic as I have been recommended to it by various local retailers in the past. (due to my preferential treatment towards minty and fruity juices)

Flavor

It doesn't mention the exact flavor on the bottle, but the closest thing I can attribute the taste of Kryptic to is some kind of strawberry. The flavor is sweet and strong and is perhaps enhanced by the generous amount of mint or some other derivative of mentholy flavor. 

The mint flavor is quite strong and you can definitely feel it tickle your throat, but not brain-freezing like Ice Mango Lime or Freezing Dew. I suppose you could compare Kryptic's mintiness level to the likes of Rude Beer.

Nicotine

The label says that we have 6mg of nicotine to deal with here. Compared to other juices which claim to have 6mg of nicotine, this one seems to achieve "the hit" quicker and more effectively than others.

Power Settings

I personally am unable to chain vape this juice at the standard review setting at 3.2V (20.5W at 0.5 Ohms) on the Subtank Mini due to how quickly the nicotine hits. 

Toning the wattage down to 13-15W is the sweet spot for me. Vape any higher and the nicotine will get to my head causing mamak-chair-bending fatigue for the next 15 minutes. 

Of course, all individuals have different nicotine tolerances so, your mileage (kilometre-age for us under the protection of the British Crown) may vary.

Overall Experience

Overall I enjoyed the Kryptic. Its strong fruity flavor with its strong minty taste is good for a "waking up" session if you're sleepy but it also may help you sleep as its nicotine hit can help you melt into the bed during those sleepless nights.
