Cloud comp

Hey it ends in two days, so if you want a free bottle of juice and a feature article on the blog submit your cloud videos to surfvaperdude1@gmail.com and you could win. The rules are in a older post so get chuckin those clouds and submit your videos.

Found my stuff

Hey I found all my stuff, expect one or two reviews today later or tomorrow. Probably will be today so look for that.

I have been going through a very bad apathy spell so please be patient with me as I will probably not care about anything. I have been building less, been less excited about vaping, and I have been in an extreme rut recently. So please forgive me if I do or say something that is stupid or depressing.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Jamie XX and status on reviews

So if you haven't noticed already I normally take the weekend off. So that is why you don't get any posts on the weekend. I currently lost track of my flavor testing mod, so that sucks, it is probably in my room somewhere or, well I don't know. I will however review Jamie XX. I think that he is super chill, lots of trap influences, but he still retains that EDM type rhythm. so he is a EDM TRAP artist. His music is supper chill and trippy at the same time. He also does some chill-step and ambient EDM. I really like him and you should check him out. I will look for my stuff when I get home which will be soon so look for a juice review or two, I am backed up on my reviews.

Cloud Mouth E-Liquid

Hey everybody how is it going? Today I will be reviewing Cloud Mouth E-Liquid. Thank you Joe Freitas for making and sending these juices to me. These juices are all 30/70 pg/vg  and they all taste and smell great. Some juices smell really good and then end up having bad taste, but that is not the case with Cloud Mouth. The company has been officially running for two months and they are based out of Oklahoma. You can buy their juices at www.cloudmouthvapes.com  and they are having a giveaway for their 1000 likes on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/cloudmouthvapes. The story behind the company is amazing and it should be shared but it is a tad bit long, so I will summarize it.

So Joe works at a restaurant and one night he is super frustrated, so he goes out side and bums a cigarette from a co-worker. Three days later he is smoking 1 pack a day again. He had quit cold turkey 6 years earlier and that is why this sucks so much. So he was smoking for 7 months after that before he finally gave vaping a try(hurrah). So he bought a starter kit and two juices. After a while he realized that the juices were lacking in flavor. So he did some research and got a DIY kit, and at first his juices were not good, but after a while he started getting the hang of it. He approached it from a food standpoint and he thought what good food flavors would taste good together. So one day he was vaping on his juice and someone smelt it and immediately bought all the juice he had on him. This is when he realized he had something that was good. So he partnered up and started Cloud Mouth.
It this isn't a typical "American Dream" story then I don't know what is anymore.
On to the review.

Arousal
The flavor profile that I was given described this as, "A creamy delicious mixture of sweet creams, ripened banana and cinnamon. At first I was thinking that this would be a similar juice to Magestic E-juices' "King Kong" which I hated. Luckily it was nothing like it. It is far sweeter than the dreaded "King Kong" and it has a much more subtle tone of cinnamon which is very nice. It is sweet and creamy and it certainly does arouse my taste buds.

Satisfaction
This juice is described as, "A satisfying combination of dragon fruit, strawberry, and pear with a hint of orange that will satisfy the most indulgent of palettes". Great job. I definitely get the pear and dragon fruit immediately when I take the hit, and what I like are when juices have a nice after taste. This one has the orange and strawberry on the exhale and has a lingering sweet taste that is very subtle and nice.

Tawdry
The description on this one is, "A creamy vanilla hazelnut that is so good it must be naughty just like a tawdry little affair". And this one is great and it definitely is very close to the description. It is a richer more full flavor that is rewardingly nutty. I like it because it still has that vanilla sweetness, but it has a more deep flavor that is very nice to have in an e-liquid.

Sicilian Lemon Pound Cake
The flavor profile for this one is, "A deliciously light and airy pound cake that embraces the juice of Sicilian lemons in such a way that allows you to almost smell the sunshine. Finished off with a dusting of powered sugar to give it a sweetness that keeps you coming back for more". This one is my favorite of the bunch. It tastes and smells exactly like a lemon pound cake that is dusted with sugar. It is exactly like the description and it is quite a complex flavor. I get the lemon immediately and then the rich cake follows right behind that. Then on the exhale you get that sweet taste of sugar that brings it all together in a culmination of delicious flavor. Seriously a great juice.

Now all of these were really good and I would highly recommend checking out the site linked above. I was told that I should steep these a little, which I will do, but I tested them before they were fully aged and they still taste amazing. So go check out that website and enter in the giveaway if you want some really good juices.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Update on cloud comp

You know you could also just send me a pic and I can judge that too. It might be hard to send a video file through e-mail.

Come Follow Me

Hey everyone if you have a twitter or a facebook you can follow or friend me and see what goes on behind the scenes so to speak. My twitter is @HQ_Vape_Reviews and my facebook is Justin Dake with the pic of the cigarette smoking man that is vaping(X-Files joke).

Thank you all

Over 1000 views! Great job guys, I just want to thank you all for being such great devoted readers. This is a great milestone for me and I just want to humbly say that without you guys I would be far less happy.

Here is what I am going to do for this accomplishment: If you think that you can win a cloud comp then send a vid of your best cloud comp exhale. Do it in a dark background, with about 7 or 8 feet for distance. Take 5 sec. hits, you get two hits and it can be any liquid as long as the build is safe. Just make a vid, send it to surfvaperdude1@gmail.com with a description of the build and I will choose a winner. The winner will get a personal post all about the build you use and what mod/atty combo you used.    May the best build win and good luck.  Winner will be chosen on October 25th.

Remember to have a great day and I think you have enjoyed it so far. hehee

Sorry

Sorry guys no mail today. :(

New juices

So I should be getting home soon and I will have a review out later tonight or tomorrow if it is in the mail.

Buying from fasttech

I love fasttech, fasttech prices at least. The quality is ok, with the stuff that I got from them it was good quality, but I have heard stories about not so good quality stuff. They are slow as a snail. The joke is Slowtech, hahah. But for the prices on most of their stuff it is worth it in my opinion. There is an american based site called 101vape.com which is really nice because they have relatively low prices and the shipping is fast. They have a good sized selection of products. Fasttech has a larger selection, but they are all cheap. Fasttech also sells non vape related electronic equipment so they are not vape only.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Thom Yorke new album

Hi everybody how are you? Today is a music review day. Tomorrow's Modern Boxes is Thom Yorke's newest single album and it is awesome. It is similar to The Eraser but it has more harmonic notes to it. It is a great album and I love it so far. The best two songs on the album in my opinion are Interference and Pink Selection. They are very tech/ ambient orientated and they have Thom's voice on it a lot so it is always nice to hear him sing. Now the politics behind this album are kind of funny. You have to torrent it to get the album, but you still pay for it. He released it on Bit-torrent and it is like a five dollar fee I think. I just regular torrented it and it is great. I highly recommend giving this album a listen.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Hey guys

So tomorrow will be the 4 week mark and I am pretty sure we can get up to 1000 views by then, so share and re-share the blog and check in every so often, I might be having an new juice come in the mail around 3:30 but I will probably be home around 5:15 so look for one then. Also I am going to do a piece on Herbert's Lemonade tomorrow and a piece on how to grill kabobs. Also look for a music review tomorrow on Thom Yorke's new album Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

I just made a box mod

As the title says, I just finished making a box mod about three hours ago. It took me three hours to make so it has been six hours since this thing was conceived. I used an Altoids can and an 18650 battery. I also used a super old switch that is capable of handling about 50A so that is good. However the connector is an ego connector, so that could be a problem. It actually hits pretty good. I am very satisfied with it.

Hehehehehehe it is cool huh?

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

MXJO 18650

Hey everybody how is it going? Now there is a lot of controversy about this battery. This MXJO 18650 35A 2500mah as it is advertised is a great battery. I love it, a lot, but there are some thing about it that are fishy. For instance the MXJO company seemingly sprung up out of nowhere. This alone is leading people to believe that these are re-wrapped LG H2 or the Efest. My opinion: I think these are factory made batteries, not re-branded second hand crap. However that leads us to the next thing, it is really a 20A continuous discharge battery and the pulse rating is at 35A. This is in no way a bad thing, these things hit hard and can handle a lot. The reason they hit hard is their low internal resistance. I don't have the exact numbers, but it is lower than most competing batteries these days. Which means that it will hit harder because it isn't fighting itself to release its energy. I like these batteries a lot and I would recommend them, however just be safe with those super sub ohm builds, use your brain.

I will be doing a review on the IMREN 38A 2600mah 18650 soon, I am just waiting on a response by the manufacturer to see what the continuous or pulse rating is on it, because I can't find anything other than a 38A rating anywhere. That worries me, it could be a lower continuous rating, which would be fine. It could also be a higher pulse rating which would be amazing and make this the best battery around. However when I compare it to the MXJO I notice that the MXJO hits harder, it could be because of the lower internal resistance, or it could be that the IMREN has a lower continuous rating, or a combo of the two.

What is up with Water Mains?

Why the frick are water mains breaking in LA so much? California is in a drought and the state government doesn't think it is a good idea to replace old water mains. What the hell. When those things break they spew out thousands and thousands of gallons of water every minute. It would be far less costly to simply turn off the water, open up the ground, and replace the main than it would be to have to clean up after every time one breaks. Seriously come on. California and LA politicians and city planners need to get a clue if they want to try to save water instead of it being wasted on a busted main. I am pretty damn tired of it.

I might review two batteries soon, I am currently in contact with the manufacturer of one because it is the new and highly controversial MXJO 18650 which claims 35A and 2500mah.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Orchid RTA

Hey everyone, today I will be reviewing the Orchid RTA. It is an amazing kayfun type RTA that has two air holes and has dual coil capability. With its four juice channels it means that there are less possibility for dry fires. I have not had one dry fire on this thing yet. I can take a 12 second hit on it, which is unheard of, and it doesn't taste burnt at all. It is definitely a tighter draw than I am used to, but it still has outstanding vapor production. I am using 6 wraps 26g kanthal around 1/8th and it is just perfect. The flavor on this thing is amazing and the vapor production is great too. I like that when I use it with my 4Nine mod I can just pull it out of my pocket, vape, put it back in when I am done and not worry about having to drip on it. It holds about 3ml of liquid in its tank and it lasts me for a long time. It looks amazing and it is extremely stylish, it looks great on my 4Nine. I have the V2 version which has the bottom filling hole and that is super nice. The V1 doesn't have that feature so I would get a V2 and above. The V3 and V4 versions hold more juice and are differently designed. They are less rounded and look more like a kayfun. You can get them anywhere on the internet, but I got mine from fasttech for like 12$. Tobecco and a company named Aethertech make clones and they are the main ones that I have seen. I believe an authentic one sells for around 100$, which I think is a waste of money, but I always buy clones. That saves money so I can buy more juice.

The one at the top is the V2 version and this one is the V3, see how they look different.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

J Sauce

Hey everyone how is it going? This is a picture of two of my mixed e-juices that I will call J Sauce. I am thinking of making this on a wider scale by buying some more of the base liquids, but I need more money. This juice is amazing. I will not tell the specifics of the base e-liquids in it, but I will describe how it tastes and vapes. The bottle on the right is around 5-7mg nicotine level and the one on the left is around 3.5-5mg. They both are the same flavor. It is a rich buttery custard with super sweet melon, strawberry, apple, blueberry, mango, and some secret sweetness. I am thinking of making another flavor that will have some cooling menthol undertones with less custard in it. Like I said I need money to start making these on a larger scale. If you would like to donate please check out my Go Fund Me. If you would like to invest and pre-order a batch of those two flavors listed above you can email me at surfvaperdude1@gmail.com. The juice that I have right now will be called Fruity Baby.

As always remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Flavor Explosion e-juice

Hi everyone, so today I am reviewing the best line of e-juices that I have tried so far, ever. These juices are amazing and I am so grateful for Janie sending me these. They are literally the best, the best, liquids that I have tried ever. They are all sweet which I like, I love my sweet vapes. You can purchase these juices on their website http://www.flavorexplosion.net/ and they are are all pretty well priced. The company has been officially up and running for about 6 months and they are stationed out of good old Toledo OH. Now lets get on with the review.

Butter Puff
I don't think that this one is officially on the menu list so it might be a secret. It is pretty good. This one isn't as sweet as the other ones but that is ok. It is like a butterscotch or a creamy butter. When you hear that you might think that it wouldn't taste good but it does. This is my least favorite one of the samples, but even still it tastes good. A solid juice.

Banana Cream Pie
I love bananas, I don't know if I mentioned that before, but I do. This one is sweet, which it should be because banana cream pie is supposed to be sweet and creamy. This juice translates that extremely well. It has a nice aftertaste that will leave the taste of bananas for like a minute after you took a drag on your vape. This is my fourth favorite out of five juices, not because it isn't good, but because the other juices are better so they beat it out.

Monkey's Milk
This is a nice tropical creamy flavor that tastes great. It has banana, milk chocolate, and cream in its flavor base. These all combine to make a sweet, rich vape that is very good. I like this juice a lot and I can vape on it all day long.

Red White and Blue
This juice is my second favorite juice. It is a sweet vape that has some fruity nodes as well as possibly a candy taste. It is peach, cranberry, coconut, and blueberry swirls that will make you drool and want more. I love this flavor and I have used it to mix in my special blend juice that only I vape. No one, and I mean no one is aloud to even touch my special blend. This juice has the privilege of being apart of the mix. Great juice that is an all day vape.

Angel's Breath
My favorite juice in the whole collection. This juice is amazing and I can not stop vaping it. Literally I will need to go to class and say "one more hit" then repeat that like five times. I can not put this juice down. It is a nice tropical sweet juice that includes honeysuckle, melon, and mango. Those three flavors are amazing on their own, but when you combine it, it just becomes something more, something magical. These all have 0 nicotine in them, but this flavor is still addicting based on taste alone. This is also in my special blend mix and is probably the best juice I have ever tasted.

Thank you Janie and remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

4nine Mod

This mod is a beast, a beast. It has a magnetic button switch so it doesn't need any locking ring, so I can just put it in my pocket and pull it out whenever I want. It has no top pin so whatever atty you use it directly connects to the battery. This helps maintain the voltage instead of having a voltage drop. It feels smaller than my Nemesis and it fits in my hand perfectly. There aren't any buttons that you have to take apart to fix any pins and that is a huge plus in my book. It has a brass top  with a stainless steel tube and the button is copper. So it has three different metals in it which I guess is pretty common and it still hits hard. I tried it with my igo-w and with my new orchid RTA and they both hit hard on it. I will do a review of the orchid soon so look for that. It is a nice looking mod and it functions very well.

Little monkey/lemur symbol on the button.

I need to do a juice review that someone is waiting on. Also new facebook account so check that out. Look up Justin Dake, it is the dude with the vape.

Today is a big day

Hey everyone, today I will probably be doing about 4 different reviews. Yes I said 4, two on juice lines, one on a mod, and one on a RTA. I got my stuff in the mail from china. Also if you follow me on Facebook, they kicked me out temporarily because I am not using a human name, I am using the name of the blog. So if you follow me on Facebook please write a post to my timeline that they kicked me out so that my friends don't freak out that I am not on it.

UPDATE: You know what, today I am going to binge post, it probably will be more than four so yeah. Stupid facebook cuts me off from most of my fan base, what the hell!

Blood Moon

Hi everyone, have I got a story for you. First off you may or may not know that last night was a lunar eclipse, which produces a red or orange colored moon. Now in ancient times when this happened some civilizations thought it marked the end of the world or some cataclysmic event. Now the Egyptians and Mayans and those sort of extinct civilizations were all smart, but nothing ever happened so there is no need for alarm. This event does however make for some great photography opportunities, if you can stay up late, which is where the story comes in.

I had known about this for about a week or two and I was planning on staying up late for it to take some pictures. Everything was going great, I was listening to Coast to Coast with George Noory and I had some stronger level nicotine juice to vape on. Normally I vape 0-6mg, but this one had about 10mg. So the event was supposed to start at 2:15 am and hit its peak at 3:15 am. Great, on track, doing great. Then I pass out, bummer right? Not, somehow I programmed my brain to wake up at 3:00 am because out of nowhere I wake up at 3:27. It was a little after the peak, but I am not complaining because this is pretty damn rare for it to happen in a place where you can see it. Normally all these astrological events happen in china or Australia, but this time it happened here. So I quickly got aware that I had woken up so that I didn't fall back to sleep. I went and got my 5th gen iPod touch, and snapped some crappy low res photos, yay! >:(  It is better than nothing though.

So below is the crappy iPod photo and above is a professional picture that I am going to guess was taken with a DSLR.

P.S. I'll upload the crappy ones tonight.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

this is awesome

Words do not express how funny and awesome this is. hahahahaha

upcoming

Hey everyone, I should have one maybe two reviews out tomorrow, maybe. But look forward to that. Plus I will be reviewing the EDM band Blackmill, they are more chill rhythmic EDM, but still.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

G2 Vapor

Hey everyone, how is it going? Today I will be reviewing 3 juices by G2 Vapor and in another post I will review 2 juices by the same company, but from a different line. You can check out all thier flavors at http://www.g2vapor.com/.

DR. Green
This juice is pretty good. I got a 6mg test sample and it was very tasty. It is kind of a apple jolly rancher with some other fruit thrown in there. It is not super sweet which is ok because sometimes too much is too much. It is a little sower which is good because it tastes almost exactly like an apple jolly rancher. I like this juice a lot.

Blue Pop Shock
This one is really good too. It is a blue raspberry type bubble gum sucker. It is sweeter than the Dr. Green and it is a very good vape. It has a sort of raspberry pop rock in it too which is why I guess they named it to resemble that.  Good juice, makes big clouds, and the flavor is great too.

Mr. Cookie
This is a sweeter more custardy flavor. It is cookies and it tastes like cookies so it is pretty nice. I like that it is a fuller, more warm vape flavor since I like my warm vapes. It produces lots of clouds and it is pretty tasty. It has a strong custard flavor, not much cookie going on, but it is still good.

Celtic Cloud Vaping

Hey everyone, I am excited to announce that this is the first of many to come of juice line reviews. Today's pick of juices was sent by Celtic Cloud Vaping. They are a new company who started out in March of this year. They are stationed out of Pennsylvania and they don't have any west coast sellers that I am aware of. They have a website where you can get a bio and purchase some pretty good juices at http://www.celticcloudvaping.com/. I was sent the three sample flavors very quickly so that means that they are on top of their shipping. That is a huge plus when you are buying from online places since we all know that vape mail is notoriously late, but that was not the case with Celtic Cloud. Now on to the review....

Root Beer Float
Just to set some background info: I AM A ROOT BEER SNOB!!!! I taste different type of root beers, I find obscure brands and then I drink them and compare them to others, heck I even brew my own root beer. That being said, this root beer float flavor is simply amazing. I got it around 3:30 and it is half gone already. It is a full bodied root beer with a hint of vanilla which is good. I am more inclined to drink spiced root beer, which is root beer made with brown sugar or cinnamon, and this e-juice flavor has somehow translated some of my favorite qualities that root beer has. I could vape on this flavor all day long and I probably will buy more when I run out. Overall a great flavor with full bodied hit. I must say for a 50/50 pg/vg these juices made a lot of vapor, or it could be my built.

Grape Vines
I love grapes, grape soda, grape jelly, grape candy. Everything grapes. So when I tried this juice I thought it was just going to be some run of the mill grape flavor. It was not so. It was really good, it tasted like those grape jelly beans that you get during Easter. It was sweet, but when you have grapes you expect it to be sweet. Great flavor and once again surprisingly good vapor production. This one had .6% nicotine in it and it wasn't harsh at all. Very good juice.

Mounds
The good old chocolate covered coconut candy bar that we all love. I was skeptical that this one would be good, but once again it was very good. It tastes a lot like coconut and there is a hint of chocolate, but it isn't overpowering. It is an extremely nice vape because it was cool even though I had a pretty low ohm build. The one thing that I can say that could be improved on this juice is that it needs a little more sweetness and a little more coco. But like I said, a very good juice.

All and all these flavors were amazing. I strongly urge you all to check this company out on the website and to test some flavors. 

Thank you Celtic Cloud Vaping for sending these samples, they were greatly appreciated, and I will probably buy some in the future. 

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

VTC3

Hi everyone. I just got my new VTC3 in the mail from amazon. I guess batteries get here faster when you use amazon. I am still waiting on my first juices to arrive as well as my 4nine and my orchid rta. When I get everything I will write the reviews as fast as I can. All you regular readers know that I write extremely quick.
