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.
