Review: Vaping e-liquids from Red Vape

Since giving up cigarettes and moving onto vaping my husband has been putting plenty of e-liquids through their paces, trying all sorts of flavours and brands, so it was perfect timing that Red Vape offered him the chance to try some of their range.

Red Vape is passionate and committed to delivering the finest quality British made e-liquids using top notch ingredients and employing a manufacturing process designed to retain and develop complex and rich multi-level flavours. My husband was sent four flavours to try: Havano Gold, Noble Mint, Angel Berry and Trinty Creme (unfortunately not to my husband’s personal taste and so not mentioned below for fairness). Here is how he got on:

First impressions

The three flavours received were of PG/VG ratio 50:50 which is very typical. Generally the best for vaping in the most common vaping tanks (as opposed to sub-ohm vaping), and it works just as you’d expect. The feel is slightly astringent, in other words, providing that throat hit that makes you aware that you’re vaping and stopping you from vaping all day.

Red Vape styles themselves as a luxury brand of vaping liquids and they’re certainly a cut above most other liquids I’ve tried. The liquids come in attractive glass bottles with handy glass droppers, and the bottles are nicely boxed. No plastic bottles to be seen anywhere. So overall it’s a nice unwrapping experience.

One important aspect to mention is that I was testing these in the very popular Nautilus tanks from Aspire and running them at 12-16 watts.

Havano Gold

I’m not generally a fan of tobacco flavoured vaping liquids. Red Vape’s Havano Gold was a very pleasant surprise. Derived from Cuban Corojo and mixed with South Honduran pure Corojo from the famous Jamastran Valley, the taste of tobacco was very subtle and refined, with a hint of sweetness. It makes me wish that tobacco cigarettes actually tasted like this.

The manufacturer website does mention that the tobacco flavours used are from tobaccos that are usually used for cigar making, so no wonder it’s smooth. And what’s more – I’ve shared this liquid with two of my friends who vape and they were pleasantly surprised by the taste also. It probably won’t be something you’ll buy on the off chance, but if you like tobacco flavours I think this is very nice.

Noble Mint

I absolutely abhor the taste of menthol cigarettes and menthol in vaping liquids. So I was dreading using this liquid. Again – it was surprisingly nice, mostly because it’s not a typical menthol flavour. Instead of being a harsh minty/menthol taste the Nobel Mint is a little bit like chewing spearmint flavoured gum.

Nobel Mint is Red Vape’s leading fresh mint e-Liquid and a top seller from the Red Vape premium range. Made with natural spearmint extract and blended with Swedish Lingonberry and natural Redcurrant this e-liquid has a very pleasant minty-sweet flavour and one that I would buy for myself, despite not being a big fan of traditional mint.

Angel Berry

My absolute favourite of the all the liquids from Red Vape was the Angel Berry. This e-liquid is made from a combination of natural raspberry, dewberry, blueberries, Granny Smith apple and a dash of the naturally sweet Mentha Aquatica also known as water mint. I’m a fan of fruity vaping liquids and this is a very nice blend of berries that isn’t too sweet like most others out there.

Summary

As previously mentioned – the liquids taste very nice, with pleasant surprises all round. All three of the e-liquids I was sent were 50/50 PG/VG liquids that produce mild astringecy and adequate clouds, great for those looking to be discreet with vaping. Despite being delicious, one thing to note is that the flavourings in these juices will reduce the longevity of your coils and hence this may be something that you wish to consider.

Overall I award these 3 stars, it would have been higher if Red Vape offered different PG/VG mixes so that the juices can be used in sub-ohm tanks.
