Going along with the licorice example again; suppose you love the flavor of licorice in vapor form. You might see that a certain team member has scored the “flavor” a 5 Star rating, and yet admit that they don’t like licorice and the “gut” score is lower. If you like licorice, and enough of the members have agreed that the brand hit the licorice flavor on the head, then more than likely you’ll taste the same licorice flavor. If the vapor production is within your own set parameters, as well as throat hit, then chances are this is going to be an excellent choice for you.
This scoring method has been developed over the past 18 months and many Spinfuel readers have enjoyed many new flavors by using it as a guide for their new additions.
Hardware
Our team uses various hardware in every review, from Halo Tritons and G6’s, to VV/VW APV’s like the eVic or ProVari or VAMO, or ZMAX, etc. etc. Each member makes sure to use at least two different batteries and two different e-Liquid delivery methods; cartomizers, clearomizer, tanks, etc. If the member deems it important enough to mention the hardware they will.
And Now…The Six New Hurricane Vapor Flavors
Mango Milkshake – Spinfuel Choice Award – “A spin on our incredibly popular “Papaya Milkshake”; we have taken our deliciously blended vanilla bean milkshake mix and combined it with what we feel is an scrumptious and authentic Mango flavor instead. Mango Milkshake is a creamy blend of Juicy Mangos, vanilla bean ice cream, milk, and just a dash of cinnamon to add that delightful hint of contrasting flavors, as with our previous winning flavor. But make no assumptions, the marrying of this creamy blend with mango delivers a very different experience, as the mango and cream flavors compliment each other in different ways. The combination of Mango to many blended treats is very much inspired by our own Puerto Rican roots.” – Hurricane Vapor
Tom: Taking notes about what made the Papaya Milkshake a runaway hit, the artists at Hurricane Vapor decided if they could try to catch lightening in a bottle…twice. And I believe they did, all the way.
Mango is one of my favorite “fruit” flavored e-Liquids and I have enjoyed a couple of them in 2013. Mango Milkshake delivers a very clean, sweet flavor of a real mango, right down to the authentic texture of a mango, in the same delicious milkshake flavoring used in their Papaya Milkshake. If you enjoy the taste of mangos, and you’re looking for a new flavor sensation that delivers plenty of vapor, a nice throat hit, and a “familiar in a new way” e-Liquid, then this is one you must try. 5 Stars
Nicole: I loved the Papaya Milkshake and it is still on my weekly rotation. I also love a good mango e-Liquid, so the combination of Hurricane Vapor’s unique “milkshake” flavoring and the authentic flavor of real mangos this is one e-Liquid I will use daily for a long time. It hits the spot for sweetness, fruitiness, and powerful vapor. One my favorites from the first drags. 5 Stars
Angel Marie: The first flavor to hit me when I vape Mango Milkshake is a sweet ‘milkshake’ taste that is just so damn nice. I would bet HV could release this milkshake part as a stand-alone e-Liquid and it would do very well. After my taste buds gather in the milkshake flavor a real, and I mean real, flavor of mango reveals itself and the combination of the two is perfect. I love this vape and cannot wait to get more. If you thought Papaya Milkshake was good, this one is even better. 5 Stars
John: I loved Papaya Milkshake and I’ve been vaping it on a weekly basis for a while, and another e-Liquid I’ve been vaping, along with my wife, has been a mango from another brand. Mango is a unique flavor that lends itself to vaping very well. When I read the Mango Milkshake label I was excited about it, and it did not disappoint. Mango Milkshake has become a personal favorite for both of us. 5 Stars
Stephanie: I thought Papaya Milkshake was a magical potion, and it is an e-Liquid I vape a lot. So when I saw that Hurricane Vapor was delivering a new “milkshake” flavor using mango I was so looking forward to it. I love mango flavors too, and if they were able to create the same profile of the papaya with mango in its place, it too would be a magical vape. And let me tell you, if you liked Papaya Milkshake you will LOVE Mango Milkshake. Just the right amount of sweetener with the right amount of mango, basting in this milkshake frothiness it becomes such a delightful flavor, with layers upon layers of delicious flavors. Truly a remarkable e-Juice. 5 Stars
Cinnamon Roasted Almonds – “Down here in South Florida, you will find it hard not to run into a “Hot Nuts” cart at your favorite Shopping Mall. These come in various types of nuts, but one of our favorites are the Cinnamon Roasted Almonds. Taste the flavors of slow roasted almonds, slowly simmered in cinnamon blended melted caramel. These delicious morsels are then placed in cone shaped paper cups where the melted candy-like mix is hardened; subsequently delivering a perfect balance of almond, caramel, and cinnamon.” – Hurricane Vapor
Tom: Cinnamon Roasted Almonds will, I think, cause a little confusion among your taste buds unless you are already familiar with the taste of this delicacy. It is by far the most complex tasting e-Liquid to come from Hurricane Vapor because these almonds are very different than any almonds you’ve ever had. Think of roasted chestnuts, and how unique they are, how uniquely “holiday” tasting they are. Now think about replacing the chestnut with almonds, with and a crispy almond texture that has hints of cinnamon in it. Roasted Almond e-Liquid provides a very different kind of taste. I also found that this one needed some additional steep time to fully realize the flavor of the almonds. 4 Stars
Nicole: Unlike Tom I did not get a sneak peek into Cinnamon Roasted Almond so when I spent my time with it this fully steeped vape was ready to go. At first I thought it might be a tobacco related flavor, but that lasted only a few seconds and I’m sure I thought that because of the very unique flavor. I’m not an almond fan, so I wasn’t head over heels over this one. I think I would have liked it more if it had more cinnamon in it because I couldn’t taste much cinnamon at all. This was the first e-Liquid from Hurricane Vapor that I didn’t love. 3.5 Stars
Angel Marie: The last time I was in Miami with Dave we probably stopped at half a dozen different “almond carts” trying out the local cuisine. I really loved them, which is why we stopped whenever we passed by one. When I saw that Hurricane Vapor had produced an e-Liquid that was to pay homage to this street cart delight I was looking forward trying it. I was not disappointed.
The very first taste that hits you is a brief cinnamon flavor that is quickly replaced by a real “roasted” flavor which then reveals a genuine almond flavor that is so much like the almonds you can buy on the streets of Miami its almost scary. I love this flavors in this eJuice so much I find it hard to believe. 5 Stars
John: Roasted almonds with a touch of cinnamon. What a rich, satisfying flavor combination this turned out to be. I was with Tom when he and I took an early “taste test” and I also found it to be a little early. But after a week of steeping this one became a very deeply satisfying vape that I became a deeply satisfied fan of it. Somehow, someway, you can really taste roasted almonds with a touch of cinnamon. A truly fascinating flavor. I recommend a week to ten day of steeping in order to get the true flavor from this marvelous, complex e-Liquid. 5 Stars
Stephanie: I didn’t think I was going to like Cinnamon Roasted Almonds because I’m not crazy about real almonds. But this is different; this is a real roasted almond flavor that is so rich and so full of flavor that hard not to love it. I’ve never vaped anything that tasted like it before, and that is a rare thing indeed. Unless you already know the flavor of roasted almonds I would try a smaller bottle first, but as for me this is going to be one that I keep around for evening vape times. 5 Stars
Red Chile Guava – “This tropical, spicy margarita was created in New York City, but has found it’s way to the shores of Miami, no doubt being favored by the latin dissidents finding there way down south. The “Red Chile” in this drink’s name comes from the infusion of red chile paste. This is a blend of SPICY chile + jalapeno, coupled with a sweet Guava paste flavor. Be warned, that this flavor is not for the faint of heart, and may not be an all-day vape for most people. But it is a quick trip to the realm of the spicy and tropical, whenever you feel you want to drop by.” – Hurricane Vapor
Tom: I’m a little embarrassed by this one. I can’t give you an accurate read on Red Chile Guava because I couldn’t take a single drag without coughing. I don’t know what it was that was causing me to cough, but I intend to find out. To be fair though, I have to abstain from scorning it.
Nicole: This Red Chile Guava is a serious e-Liquid with one heck of a punch. I didn’t cough, but on the other hand, I felt like I was vaping something so strong that it was barely vapable. I know most vendors have to come up with their version of something so strong that it becomes a niche flavor, and most of them do it with a powerful cinnamon mix or powerful menthol. Hurricane Vapor took another route with what I have come to believe is red chili powder. If you can get past that you get to a genuine guava flavor that is instantly identifiable as guava, but getting there takes determination. 3 Stars
