The Vapor Girl eLiquid Review “Squirrel Bread Soup?”

Continued from page one…

Egyptian Fig Roll – “Egyptian Fig Roll Flavour Premium E Liquid from The Vapor Girl is a delicious treat will take you back in time. Sweet, rich, slightly tart, delicious juicy fig wrapped with mouth-watering dough. Vape like an Egyptian!!” – The Vapor Girl

Tom: I remember a few months ago when we mentioned that “lime” was an excellent flavor for vaping, and that not many vendors were using it, at least the ones we were reviewing anyway. Then we started to get more and more lime eJuice flavors in for review.

Now, I want to say the same thing about “Figs”. The word ‘Fig’ has a sort of connotation that makes people uncomfortable. I’m not sure why, Fig Newtons are a huge selling cookie, but maybe it’s because Figs and Prunes look too much alike. I don’t know, but I do know that The Vapor Girl’s new Egyptian Fig Roll is an outstanding treat for Vapers. The fig flavor is naturally sweet, rich, and all consuming. Get a lung full of vapor from this one and you’re getting a body full of fig heaven. Plenty of thick vapor, a wicked throat hit when vaped above 3.9v, Egyptian Fig Roll is outstanding! 5 Stars

Julia: Figs taste something like an Apple and a Pear mixed together. A ripe fig will have a twang of apple tartness and the texture and meatiness of a good sweet pear. It is a flavor that has been favored for thousands of years. The Vapor Girl has managed to bring this same flavor to us in the form of a sweet, natural fig, with just a hint of piecrust. It is a wonderful flavor for vaping and one that encourages deep drags and slow exhales. I loved it. 5 Stars

Keira: Egyptian Fig Roll does taste wonderful, and a good sweet fig is always a treat. The Vapor Girl did an excellent job with this flavor, especially with the addition of a kind of ‘dough’ notes underneath it all. So you’re not only vaporing the flavor of ripened figs, you’ve got this layer of sweet dough/crust/cake thing going on. The vapor clouds are thick and flavorful, and the throat hit was bigger than I expected. For Vapers looking to add a new kind of sweet, fruity vape with an earthy touch, this could very well be the eJuice you’re looking for. Jules and I vaped this at the same time and we both couldn’t shut up about it. You may feel the same way. Try it for something ‘special’, then do what we did, add it to your rotation of flavors. – 5 Stars

Jason: I understand all the commotion about Egyptian Fig Roll, but the thing is, for me, fig has a flavor that might be too different. Still, I enjoyed this flavor, but I’m not so sure I would have had it not had the extra element of piecrust, or whatever you want to call it. It’s not exactly piecrust, its not cake, its something else, sweet, smooth, deep, whatever, giving the fig flavor something to blend into. I’m not sure I would eat figs other than Fig Newtons, but I would vape Egyptian Fig Roll anytime. Vapor is there in abundance, a very good throat hit when you take big drags, and it is rich enough to satisfy. I’m not sure I would add it to my rotation or my collection, but if I were at a friends house and it was offered, I certainly wouldn’t turn away from it. 4.25 Stars

Caramel Corn Crunch – “Caramel Corn Crunch Flavour Premium E Liquid from The Vapor Girl is smooth rich caramel, salty buttery popcorn, and a handful of nuts. Take me out to the ball game…this one is an oldie but a goody.” – The Vapor Girl

Tom: This juice had me confused for hours. I knew from the label that it was a caramel popcorn, but there was something else working with it, and I didn’t know what it was. I remarked that it was a good, sweet caramel popcorn, but very different from the only other caramel popcorn I had vaped before. For one thing, it was salty.

When I spoke to Jules over Skype I asked her about it. Did she too think it was a different kind of caramel popcorn? She looked right through the computer screen and said, “Did you bother to read the description?” – NUTS! As soon as I read the word I knew that was it. Doh! Now it made sense! Of course! So, Caramel Corn Crunch is a very original take on caramel popcorn, and it’s a good one. 4 Stars

Julia: The Vapor Girl is constantly trying to create new flavors, and also trying “variations on a theme”, by taking something like caramel popcorn which several vendors offer, and mixing in the flavoring of salty nuts to give it a broader flavor profile.

It doesn’t work all the time, this experimentation, and I bet TVG has more experimental flavors that never got off the ground, but with Caramel Corn Crunch TVG managed to do something original, and tasty. You definitely get that caramel popcorn flavor, but that added salty nut flavoring gives it a grounded, non-sweet layer that combines into something new, and better. Plenty of vapor, a better than average throat hit, Caramel Corn Crunch is pretty damn good. 4.5 Stars

Keira: Maybe I took the name of this eJuice a little too literally. I saw the name Caramel Corn Crunch and the first few hours of vaping it I tasted real “corn”, not popcorn. Remembering how TVG likes to be experimental I thought maybe it was a real corn extract that was mixed with caramel. Honestly, I really did. But I kept vaping it, while one part of me was really enjoying the ‘different’ flavor, and the other part thinking ‘but it’s corn! You can’t vape corn!”… Then after talking it over with Jules I learned that it was the nut extract that was causing my taste buds to go haywire. “Inner conflict”, Jules said, some eLiquids can cause inner conflict with what you think you should taste and what you really do taste. “It happens, roll with it. “ Thank you Julia, I never would have known. Did my brain and my taste buds work it out? Nope. This will always be “Caramel Corn”, but its okay because it’s not bad…not bad at all. 4.25 Stars

Conclusion

Sometimes the Spinfuel eLiquid Review Team like to think that we really understand flavor and that we can push ourselves as hard as any eJuice vendor can. When it comes to The Vapor Girl though, we are always shown that maybe we are more ‘traditional’ Vapers than we like to think we are. Oh, we can take apart a multi-layered eLiquid and break it down into its various components, and we can usually understand every flavor that comes here for review. We felt terrible that none of us could get behind two flavors that The Vapor Girl are so very proud of. It is disheartening to think that our taste buds aren’t as sophisticated as they should be. Tobacco, pastry goods, deserts, alcoholic drinks, candy, and all kinds of fruits, are flavors we know and flavors we enjoy. But when it comes to something like ‘cream of mushroom’ and ‘beef’, we just aren’t there yet.

Where The Vapor Girl truly shined in this review is with the traditional flavors, blackberry and fig, two fruits that are seldom used, but which have delicious flavor characteristics. Blackberry Lemonade is a terrific combination and together offers a wonderful vape experience. Figs, the dominant flavor in Egyptian Fig Roll, is rarely used in today’s eLiquids but, as you can see above, figs are a wonderful flavor that can be converted to vapor form and still be every bit as delicious. Both of these flavors are wonderful.

We were divided on the Caramel Corn Crunch, and given the nature of buttered, salted, popcorn with nuts thrown in its normal to be divided in this way. There are flavors with mass appeal, and flavors that are more limited in appeal. Popcorn, with or without nuts, is not as widely accepted as blackberry or fig. Some people love the taste of popcorn, in vapor form, and others hate it. By adding nuts, and a bit of salt, TVG expands the reach of their customer, but it remains outside the norm.

After all this time and the many reviews The Vapor Girl eLiquids have gone through, here in Spinfuel and throughout the vape community, there is no doubt that they know how to make great eJuice, and when they create eJuice flavors with limited appeal it only proves their talents and ambitions.

Buying Advice

The two best flavors, Blackberry Lemonade and Egyptian Fig Roll are must buy flavors. We think you’ll love them both, and if you haven’t found a fig flavor that you’ve liked, or if you’ve never tried a fig flavored eJuice, then by all means try this one. Whatever you wind up doing, come back and let us know. Did you try Squirrel Bread Soup, or T-Bone? Give us your feedback on these flavors, and share it with our readers. I know we would love to hear from some of you that have tried any of TVG’s flavors, and especially interested in hearing from anyone who has tried the Squirrel Bread or T-Bone.
