Vermillion River Fresh Mint & Classic Blend – Review

A while back, the folks at EcigWizard asked if I’d be willing to try some of their products and share with my readers what I thought about their stuff.  This is a first for me but as I love vaping and trying new things I figure why not?  So I said yes but made sure they know I’d be giving my honest impressions because I wouldn’t want to steer anyone astray.

They sent me two ejuice samples to try from Vermilion River. Now this is funny. Vermillion River is made in Minnesota USA. I was born in Michigan and moved to Australia several years ago. EcigWizard is based in the United Kingdom. So I’m sampling something made in the USA, sent to the UK and then sent on to me in Australia. Talk about some well travelled ejuice!

The samples came in two 10ml bottles and were both 20mg. I normally vape 18mg so this was a little stronger than what I’m used to, but not so strong I couldn’t enjoy it. I’ve been using the samples for well over a month so I feel I’ve given them a fair trial. There was one I liked a lot more than the other, but because my husband also vapes, I let him try the one I wasn’t keen on and he quite liked it. We definitely have different tastes and preferences.

Vermillion River Fresh Mint EjuiceBack in the days when I used to smoke cigarettes, I smoked menthol. I was also very fussy. I stayed with the same brand and lord help me if it wasn’t available and I had to smoke something different.  Those days are long gone – it’s well over a year since I quit cigarettes. One of the most pleasant surprises for me with vaping is at any given moment I can change flavours to match my whim. When I first took up vaping I naturally migrated towards any ejuice that had menthol or mint in the name. I’m pretty sure if I looked through my bottles I’d find at least 20 variations of mint, menthol or a combination of tobacco and mint flavours.  I tried I really did, but I never found anything that I could relate to, and after awhile I was enjoying the variety of many different flavours and realised I didn’t need to replicate the old taste of ‘my’ brand of cigarette. Who needs that horrible taste?  So I moved on and left all the menthol experimentations behind me.

Then EcigWizard sent me a sample of Vermillion River Fresh Mint. I can’t tell you what it is about this juice that’s different from others I’ve tried, aside that it works for me. It’s not overpowering or overly sweet, it’s just well, perfect. I normally avoid eating mints because I never know whether it’s going to clear my sinuses (and taste buds) or burn my mouth.  I do like creamy type mints with chocolate such as Peppermint Patties, and that describes the taste of the Fresh Mint rather well.  It’s not far off from crème de menthe. Yum. This is the only mint ejuice that’s ever made it into my handbag when I’ve gone out. One of the things I really like about it is that it stops any nicotine cravings stone cold. Some of the menthol flavours I’ve tried are fine at the start but I find if I vape them exclusively too long I start feeling ill. Something about too much mint just upsets my system. I don’t have that problem with this juice. I’ve spent many a happy evening vaping this – it’s lovely with coffee after a meal. I give this juice a big thumbs up.

Vermillion River Classic Blend
30% VG / 70% PG blend

 http://www.ecigwizard.com/e-liquid/vermillion-river/classic-blend.htmlThis ejuice has a very smoky flavour which took me completely by surprise. I wish I had had this juice when I first started vaping and was looking for a taste closer to a cigarette, because this does the job. The description of it reads “Imagine a blend of all the best of traditional tobacco flavours in one e-liquid and you have the Vermillion River Classic Blend. The pinnacle of tobacco vapes, look no further if you want something as close to the real thing as possible.”

The reviews are mostly positive, but I’m not surprised to see that it’s a flavour most people either love or hate. I’m not “most people” though and I’m rather neutral towards it, but you’ll need to excuse me as I’m way past the point of wanting my vapes to taste anything near what a cigarette tastes like and when I did smoke I only smoked menthol.  I’ve given this juice to my other half who seems to quite enjoy it and that makes sense. He smoked regular cigarettes and has only been off the smokes for a few months now. He disagrees about it tasting smoky and feels it’s more a caramel, oak or woody taste. He likes it and gave it a thumbs up so I’ve added it to his vape stash.

Did I miss anything I should have mentioned in my reviews?  It’s important to realise that taste is a very subjective thing. What I love and rave about might taste like donkey juice to you and vice versa. If there’s anything you’d like me to write about regarding vaping, feel free to let me know in the comments.

18Dec21  My older vapes were starting to show their age with their internal batteries just not being what they used to be. So I retired them and replaced them with these two beauties from @VapeKingau. These are the Innokin Kroma 217 and are really quite nice to use. They use a single battery of 18650, 20700, or 21700.  I'm using a 207 in one, and 217 in the other.  The little vape on the side was a surprise gift from VapeKing!  It's a Voopoo Vinci pod that actually gives an impressive hit.  I've put it in my car 'in case of emergencies or forgetfulness'! #ivape #vape #vapemods #10yrsnotsmoking #innokin #kroma217 #2021pad #latergram
30Jul19  New vape tank on the left and interesting refillable vape pod on the left.  I visited a new vape shop the day before and had a lovely chat with the owner and his wife.  The tank is a Uwell Crown v4 and it’s really pretty. I’m happy with the tank but not sure about the coils for it just yet.  I seem to be going through them way too fast.  I like the pod for when I’m using my tablet.  No leaks, seems to last forever and although it’s not a great big burst of clouds, it’s enough for me to toot on while playing games.  #2019pad #vape #vaping #vapegear #uwellcrown4 #uwellcaliburn
19Mar19  My second rainbow OBS Cube arrived today.  I found that these charge really quickly and it’s a very comfortable size. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but I don’t USE what it doesn’t have.  Big thanks to @vapekingau for going out of their way and finding me a rainbow one because of a comment on my order. That REALLY made my day!  #2019pad #vapemod #vape #vapeporn
18May18  Friday night playing Bingo, having a wine and enjoying my favourite strawberry vape. ❤️ #latergram #2018pad #photoaday #picaday #strawberryvapejuice #savblanc #wine #vape
09Apr18  I bought myself a new vape mod today. It’s kind of retail therapy for doing a lot of extra stuff, plus I needed a new one after my other favourite developed a fault. Besides, it’s shiny and has stars that I can decide what colour I want them to be. #2018pad #photoaday #picaday #vapingsavedmylife #vape
09Apr18  My new vape even has a Yellow star feature.  Perfect for this week’s Challenge Friday challenge word.  #CF18 #Yellow #Vape
