Prospector Peach – “We’ve found gold with this recipe. This mild tobacco contains juicy peach tones and hints of cedar to create an earthy, delicious flavor.” – Rocket Fuel Vapes
There are still many flavors from Rocket Fuel Vapes that I haven’t tried yet, and hopefully we’ll set up a sequel review down the road. We had already reviewed a peach flavored eLiquid from them in our first review, the Peachy Keen, and it was terrific. The only reason I decided to order Prospector Peach was because I enjoyed Peachy Keen so much and that their peach flavors were truly authentic. I imagined what they could do with the same peach flavors blended with tobacco. The result is not what I expected.
Prospector Peach is a lot more peach than tobacco. Rocket Fuel Vapes says their tobacco flavor in this one is mild, and that may be an understatement…it’s very mild. The peach flavor is strong, sweet-ish, and very true to the flavor profile of peach. I couldn’t tell which, if any, of the tobacco blends from their lineup that they used in Prospector Peach, and in the end it didn’t really matter. I enjoyed this one as a peach eLiquid, and as a peach eLiquid it was delectable, totally satisfying, with its own signature flavor. Peach lovers will delight in the wonderful peachiness of Prospector Peach.

Choosing between Peachy Keen and Prospector Peach would be difficult, and when it comes down to reorder time I know I would want to order both of them…but which one would I reorder if I could only reorder one? Hard to tell, and it might change down the road, but for now I give the edge to Prospector Peach because of the mild tobacco notes. The tobacco notes give it a certain complexity that the Peachy Keen doesn’t have. Peachy Keen is a great Peach Cobbler eLiquid, and there is no mistaking the flavor. Time after time, vape after vape, peach cobbler was it. With Prospector Peach there is some complexity, sometimes the tobacco shows up more than other times, sometimes it’s a perfect combination of both, and at other times the peach flavor overrides the mild tobacco. That’s what makes vaping a complex eLiquid fun.
Ratios & Nicotine – Again, 70% PG and 30% VG, the ‘house blend’. Also once again, a terrific throat hit, plenty of flavor and an abundance of vapor that is sure to please. These guys know how to mix their ingredients to get the most out of each one, that’s for sure.
The nicotine strength of Prospector Peach was, once again, 12MG, which was plenty this time. While I think I would enjoy Johnny Appleseed a bit more at 18mg, I don’t know that it would be the same with Prospector Peach.
Appropriate Vaping Times – Prospector Peach is definitely an eLiquid you could vape all day with. The mild tobacco notes make it so that it becomes something you would delight in filling a large tank and pacify vape all day long. But, if you didn’t vape it all day, when would it serve you best?
Morning – On the second morning with these three eLiquids I had filled a Halo Triton clearomizer with each flavor and attached them to three Variable Voltage Triton Batteries. About an hour after I got up, which is when I usually start vaping, I tried all three to see if one of them best suited an early morning vape. The decision was easy; Prospector Peach won hands down. The reason is that the peach flavor with a solid throat hit was both sweet enough and hard hitting enough to get me in the mood to begin my day. Johnny Appleseed was telling me to wait until I reached the office, and Cat’s Meow was telling me that it’s too early in the morning for cookies. So I put the other two Tritons in my messenger bag and finished getting ready to walk across the lawn to the office. I didn’t switch flavors until after lunch.
Food Compatibility – Definitely morning breakfast foods go very well with Prospector Peach. On that particular day my wife made pancakes with a side of bacon and before and after the breakfast the Prospector Peach was the perfect vape.
Other foods that would go well with Prospector Peach would be hard to pin down. It wasn’t the right choice for yesterday’s chicken salad, but later in the evening it was a good choice. So, the bottom line for food compatibility would be sweeter choices, breakfast being number one. I won’t vape Prospector Peach immediately after dinner.
My Vote – Prospector Peach is a great tasting, hard hitting, vapor producing sweet vape. A peach lovers wish come true. But trying to pin down the best times to enjoy it, or the best foods to combine it with isn’t easy. For that reason, I can’t give it a full 5 Star rating, though for taste, throat hit and vapor it certainly is.
Conclusion & Buying Advice
Rocket Fuel Vapes is an eLiquid brand that is very simpatico with my own flavor profiles. I have enjoyed every one I’ve tried, though there are several I’ve not yet vaped. Therefore, you need to take that into consideration when you make your decision to try them or not. Have you disagreed with other reviews I’ve done? Do we have similar tastes or are they far apart?
Out of the three I received the other day I am enjoying all of them about equally. The Cat’s Meow, being the sweetest of the three, certainly calls to me more often because I have a wicked sweet tooth at times, but Johnny Appleseed is such a wonderful tobacco vape that I don’t want to end the day without some time with it. Prospector Peach is a great eLiquid to wake up with, and a wonderful flavor after breakfast and on the way to the office.
A 10ML bottle of any flavor at Rocket Fuel is $6.50, an affordable price, especially for a premium label, and they are certainly a premium label. They jump to 30ML after the 10ML and that price is $16, an excellent price for a 30ML bottle. Their 5ML sampler packs are more expensive on a per millimeter price, but for $22 not a bad way to go if this is your first ride on the Rocket.
If you’ve tried Rocket Fuel Vapes and you liked what you vaped then by all means spring for the 10ML or 30ML bottles if any of the above flavors appeals to you. If you haven’t, then maybe the way to go is the 5-pack for $22. I can only warn you that 5ML is not even a day’s worth of eLiquid for me, so if you buy one and you really like it be prepared to reorder quickly.
Shipping: I was undecided whether to include this or not, in the end I decided to go ahead. – On the day I ordered from Rocket Fuel Vapes I also ordered from a company I’ve purchased eLiquid from for many months now. I ordered them within 5 minutes of each other. While I received my Rocket Fuel Vapes order a couple of days ago, I haven’t even received a notice of shipping from the other company. It’s worth mentioning because when it comes to eLiquid who wants to wait? In the words of Tom Petty; “The waiting is the hardest part”.
Sure, maybe the other company is way too busy to fill their orders within 72 hours, and maybe they are shorthanded of something. I have no idea. The bottom line though is this; if I can’t get an order to ship within three days then more than likely I’m going to stop ordering from them.
Oh, and that reminds me; all orders over $50 ship free with Rocket Fuel Vapes.
As always, I would love to hear your comments. Have you tried them? What do you think? Have I convinced you to try any of the three flavors above? If so, which ones?
Have a great weekend!
