MtBakerVapor Liquid Review

Hey everybody! Today I'll be going over some more MtBakerVapor liquid, which is always a pleasure!



3 MG
100% VG

Description:Slim Mints e-juice is the perfect balance of flavors, combining the taste of rich chocolate cookies with undertones of delicious creamy mint filling, making this flavor a refreshing yet decadent treat.
Flavor: Aptly named "Slim Mints", it's no secret that the sole inspiration of this juice is the ever popular, famous and delicious, girl scout thin mint cookies. At this point, you're probably wondering if the liquid lives up to the reputation the tasty treat has cemented for itself. The answer is...absolutely! Slim Mint is a shocking realization of the classic treat, practically duplicating the taste and finely replicating it in liquid form. The inhale is a bit creamy, with a great chocolate note, with the refreshing mint following on the exhale. A very straight forward liquid, but when it works, it works.
Rating: 5/5 - a nice take on a classic treat, great and consistently tasty in ever setup I tried.

3 MG
100% VG

DescriptionFresh strawberries, heavy whipping cream and fluffy cake flavors come together in this deliciously irresistible Strawberry Shortcake e-juice.  
Flavor: Strawberry Shortcake is a fairly tasty juice, but in my opinion, it has one downfall - the strawberry. I'm very picky when it comes to strawberry, but in this particular juice, it wasn't so much the taste of the strawberry, but the heaviness of the flavor - it had a bit too much. The whipped cream was light, as I only tasted it faintly on the inhale, with the cake batter flavor emerging on the exhale, but similarly so. The strawberry flavor is very strong, and I felt that it kind of over powered the balance and overall flavor of the juice - perhaps a flavor shot or two could even that out, or completely wreck it...something to consider. If you like strawberry, you may really, really like this - it's not that I didn't, I was just expecting more on the dessert front.
Rating: 3/5 - a decent juice, but could use a less strawberry, more cream and cake. Though faint, they tasted exceptionally well.

3 MG
100% VG

Description:Inspired by one of our most favorite homemade cake recipes, Lemon Bar is perfect for a lazy Saturday afternoon with a glass of milk and freshly baked cookies. This perfect blend of sweet, sour and mouthwatering cake will leave any baked good enthusiast wanting more!
Flavor: Ever had a lemon bar? If not, you're missing out. My mother makes the best in the world, and they happen to be one of my favorite treats - needless to say, I had ridiculously high expectations for this juice, and the anticipation was high. It was the first bottle I tore into, and the only I couldn't watch steep - I had to try it...and you know what? I'm glad I did, because it tastes AMAZING! Lemon bar by MtBakerVapor has, in my opinion, the perfect balance of light, fluffy cake, and tart, sour lemon. The lemon is a very pure taste - so much so, you coulda told me it was organic and I'd believe you. The cake batter is very rich, with a slight hint of sweet cream - it's not so much dry, but sweet and creamy. The inhale is rich and lemony, somewhat bitter sweet, with cake batter and cream following on the exhale. Overall it is a very, very well done blend, and I was incredibly impressed. All day vape for sure, and a well done homage to it's inspiration.
Rating: 5/5 - a wonderfully artful take on a tasty treat

3 MG
100% VG

Description:Banana Cream Pie is a delicious dessert flavor with notes of custard and fresh bananas, and subtle hints of nuts and graham cracker crust.
Flavor: If you haven't noticed, I really like my liquid in dessert/treat form. I've got one hell of a sweet tooth, and Banana Cream Pie by MtBakerVapor managed to hit the spot. All the components of the tantalizing tasteful pie are here in spades - semi sweet banana, fluffy tasty cream, and graham cracker crust. The inhale is where the banana really shines - it's quite tasteful, a bit on the artificial side but not too over the top. The exhale is where the mix itself shines - the cream and crust combo is stellar, and quickly became hard to put down. Overall, it is a very, very well done juice. The banana and cream go very well together with the graham cracker providing the backbone. I'd say that the graham cracker is the dominant flavor, but that's not a bad thing by any stretch - it's a damn good taste, a bit dry, sweet, yet very, very flavorful.
Rating: 4/5 - if the banana was refined just a tad, I'd vape it by the gallon.

3 MG
100% VG

Description:With a myriad of fruit flavors all packed into one e-juice, Fruity Hoops is one of our more deliciously complex flavors. Fruity Hoops e-juice is a delectably sweet and fruity vape, sure to delight any vaper.
Flavor: Let this steep a bit because I know the blend can be complex and I didn't want an off putting taste from the get go. Fast forward two weeks later and color me impressed! I was surprised at just how well MBV pulled off the fruit loop formula -  so much so that I blew through the 30ml in two days! It has every note you'd look for - the crisp lemon, the dry cereal taste, a bit of orange, a bit of everything that makes the cereal great. The inhale is where the lemon and orange shine, with the exhale tasting more-so like the texture of the cereal, dry and sweet. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have a creaminess to it - it tastes like the dry cereal, but I didn't sweat it much, as it was still very good. I would like to see some sort of cream/custard combo in the future to emulate the milk taste, but as for now, I'm very, very satisfied. If you're in the market for a cereal flavor that is tasty, affordable, and gone too soon, check out Fruity Loops by MtBakerVapor.
Rating: 5/5 - an affordable, tasty take on a new-found favorite liquid.

You send 'em out, I'll knock 'em down...the reviews just keep coming folks, and today I'm happy to present to you the Roar Vapor liquid review. They're a vendor located out of Tennessee, offering quality hardware with tantalizingly good juice to boot. Well packaged in quality plastic bottles, brandishing awesome logo work (a t-rex, really? that's just sweet!) AND taste great to boot...we've got another winner! Let's get to it!


I've decided to omit the inhale/exhale, as it's typically subjective, and usually entirely dependant on the setup you're running. It wouldn't be truthful to say juice A is devilishly sweet at .3ohms, only to disappoint somebody running a standard 1.6-2.4 ohm coil. 

6mg
50/50
Flavor: A delicate dance of peach and cream, culminating in a pleasurably sweet, yet decadently rich, vape. With a name like Peach Ecstasy, I anticipated a very flavorful peach blend, but was quite surprised. I must say though, the peach does take a backseat to the cream, as it is both dominant on the inhale and exhale. The peach notes are detectable to the palate, just not as powerful.
Aroma: If you've ever had a peaches and cream lifesaver, the smell is near identical.
Throat hit and vapor production: 6mg is a pretty comfortable level to drip, not to mention creamier juices usually don't pack a wallop. Decidedly mellow, but definitely their in it's own stride. As far as vapor, I don't know if I wrapped perfect microcoils today, but I'm using a .3 ohm dual coil build and I am getting dense, heavy FOG, not vapor!
Overall impression: Peach ecstasy is most definitely rich in flavor, and overall very decadent. For those who enjoy a nice cream base, you'll be right at home here. I was hoping for a bit more peach in the mix, but it doesn't detract too much from the overall flavor. I'm giving this juice a solid 4/5.

6mg
50/50

Flavor: Another tasty fruit infusion, Strapple is a mixture of strawberry and green apple. The strawberry cuts through the mix a bit more, but the green apple is definitely on the back end of the exhale. It's more a tart green apple, I've had sweeter, however it is the strawberry that exudes the succulent, sweet taste. Delightfully organic to boot; you'll be satisfied knowing this juice isn't an artificial in the slightest. I mixed up a bit of angel tear (menthol flavoring, provided by Roar) and it gave it a minty punch, which I'd recommenced to you menthol lovers.
Aroma: Fresh strawberry.
Throat hit and vapor production: The throat hit is very mild, not harsh at all. Vapor is a tad wispy, but to be expected from a juice absent of cream/dessert flavoring.
Overall impression: Pretty impressed, to be honest. The strawberry is so natural tasting, I'm tempted to try a base strawberry liquid. It is in my experience that strawberry is a difficult liquid to perfect, but they have it down pat. The green apple is a nice touch, and it's nice to know that it isn't as strong as the strawberry. If you're looking for a sweet, somewhat tart juice, get on it! 5/5! (We're on a roll..)

6mg
50/50

Flavor: This liquid is definitely magical! An intriguing fruit variety, I pick up cherry, blueberry, and grape tones. It manages to be sweet without compromising the flavor profile, shrugging off even the slightest hint of artificial/perfume/soap like taste. It's a peculiar flavor to be sure, and definitely a different vape for everybody.
Aroma: Smells very much like a cherry, but the actual vape tastes so much more complex.
Throat hit and vapor production: Even at 6mg, this juice hits like a truck! It compliments the taste well, though, if it was any weaker it wouldn't work so well. Very airy, wispy vapor.
Overall impression: Trickery is afoot, that's for sure. This is definitely one of the more inventive liquids I've had, and it is quite a pleasure to vape throughout the day. Would recommend to all looking for a pleasant fruity mixture. 4/5!

6mg
50/50

Flavor: I just could not put my finger on this juice, actually had to reference the website description. I got a strong watermelon with a hint of lime. Turns out, it's a zebra stripe gum juice. Once I read that, I promptly snapped back to my childhood, nostalgia goggles are in full effect. It's sweet and tangy, managing to shrug off any artificial/soap/perfume like taste. I've been dripping this throughout the day, and let me tell you, it's one of the tastiest juices I've ever had. (I'm beginning to feel biased here!)
Aroma: A curious infusion of lime and sweet watermelon.
Throat hit and vapor production: The throat hit is veyr light, do doubt about it. I think the sweet, tangy taste would get lost in translation had it hit any harder than it does. Vapor is relatively wispy, doesn't form clouds as well as other juices, that's a mere observation, not a gripe.
Overall impression: Anything that can take me back to the good 'ol days has a special place in my heart, with the added bonus of it actually being GOOD! If you're searching for a fruity, tangy juice, and want a blast from the past, pick this juice up,.. now! 5/5!


6mg
50/50
Flavor: The website description states this take on RY4 is a sweeter blend, a mix of caramel and vanilla, with earthy tones. I've got to disagree here, 'cause this juice is straight up nutty. It is unfortunately one of the weaker RY4 blends I've had, comparable to the Chinese version. It's a weird mixture of caramelized tobacco and burnt nut, quite harsh, and just overall not something I could vape.
Aroma: Smells very tobacco like, earthy if you will.
Throat hit and vapor production: Harsh throat hit and light vapor production. Bit too harsh for my tastes.
Overall impression: Though it is well known I am not a tobacco enthusiast, I have came across a bottle or two of RY4 that I liked. Unfortunately due to the oddly roasted nut taste, as well as harsh throat hit, I simply can't revisit this juice. 1/5

6mg
50/50

Flavor: Just a bit too heavy on the buttery side, this juice is vapeable, but lacks the semi-sweet taste of the candy.
Aroma: Smells as you'd expect butterscotch to smell!
Throat hit and vapor production: Another mild dessert throat hit, with incredibly dense vapor.
Overall impression: Not a bad juice by any means, just a tad heavy on the buttery/creamy side. I prefer a slightly sweeter taste when using butterscotch, but I am sure others reside on the opposite side of the spectrum. While not a total disappoint, it just barely missed the mark. 3/5


6mg
50/50

Flavor: An exciting blend of pear, coconut, and cream. The bled melds together well, offering a slightly sweet, yet devilishly cream flavor. If you're a fan of mother's milk, you'll be right at home here. The pear and coconut blend well, but my palate definitely gets more of a crisp pear taste. The coconut tones are subtle, but definitely noticeable every now and then. The cream is just perfect; it's not overwhelmingly dense, in fact the quite opposite, it's rather light. Compliments the pear taste very, very well.
Aroma: Smells like a pear and coconut juice infusion.
Throat hit and vapor production: The throat hit is quite punchy, chalking it up to the light cream. Oddly enough, the juice produces some ridiculously dense vapor. Those who prefer to subohm, you will be a walking, talking chimney in NO time.
Overall impression: Another infusion I have yet to try, Roar Vapor definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. It's equal parts coconut, pear and cream, with neither flavor clashing with the other. I could definitely vape this all day long. 5/5!

6mg
50/50

Flavor: Pretty cut and dry, it's a slightly creamy, peppermint like mint juice. Tastes almost exactly like a peppermint candy. Would love to see it offered alongside chocolate, could be a total hit! Though it is a menthol juice, the menthol taste doesn't linger on your lips or tongue, in a way that similar juices do. It's a zesty vape, so don't expect anything sweet here.
Aroma: Smells like a peppermint candy!








Throat hit and vapor production: In my opinion, menthol juices always hit hard. Your mileage may vary, depending on your aversion to mentholated juice. Vapor production is quite modest.
Overall impression: This is a tasty juice, but does get a bit old after a while. It's a juice I like to use to cleanse the palate during an extended sampling session. Definitely not bad, and has potential to be an all day vape for somebody. 3/5


I definitely had a blast samping the Roar Vapor line, finding only one juice I did not like. It's always a pleasure dealing with smaller vendors, and I am quickly coming to the conclusion that they often have some of the best juice. I'd like to extend my thanks, and by the way guys... totally representing the brand!

As always, vape strong and live FOREVER! I mean...live long.

Innokin VTR

Today, I received my Innokin Itaste VTR from the nice guys at worldofvape. You simply can't argue with free shipping and always low pricing, and as a new customer, I have nothing but positive things to say about the company. I will be ordering from them in the future.

Before I begin the interview, I'd like to outline some manufacturer specs, to give you a full idea of what you're working with alongside my initial impression.

Features in Brief:
Variable Voltage: 3.0 – 6.0 volts
Variable Wattage: 3.0 – 15.0 W
Short Circuit Protection;
RMS (root mean square);
Reverse Battery Protection Circuit;
Resistive Load Detection (Ohms meter);
ON/OFF battery switch;
LED Battery Power Display;
Low Voltage Warning;
Overtime Vaping Warning (10 second switch cutoff);
Battery safety protection (Vent holes);
High compatibility 510/eGo connector:  Built-in 3 digit display (Ohms meter, Volts /Watts, Atomizer voltage output)
Replaceable Battery: iTaste VTR supports 18650 batteries (unprotected)


 As far as my initial impression goes, I am quite impressed with the unit all around! Here's what I do like


  •  Build quality
The device, to be blunt, is an absolute tank. It is constructed out of stainless steel and has got to be the heaviest mod that has graced my hands. It weighs in at nearly 14 oz, and it is considerably noticeable in comparison to your standard mechanical, or the MVP in particular. It feels solid, it feels durable, it feels that it commands a longevity that a lot of other PV's in it's price range do not offer. Those with smaller hands may be turned off, as it is slightly bulkier than the MVP. I am a definite fan of the heft, but I can understand and do believe a lot will be rather encumbered carrying it around all day.

The button placement is extremely comfortable. Instead of being in the middle of the device, it sits on the side. I find that in my hand, it is easier to fire the device with my ring finger than my thumb, as I would fire other boxed mods.

It can read the resistance of coils, as well as display an indicator in relation to the level of your battery. Quite useful, if not entirely accurately (I've noticed the ohms are usually off by .1-.2)

However, they're a few things about it I do NOT like, which I will cover later.

  • Performance
Compared to devices in it's price range, as well as the MVP, the VTR exceeded my initial expectations. With the ability to increase wattage to 15, and voltage to 6, those coming from VV/VW devices with lower values will be pleasantly surprised. Provided you have the right atomizer setup, you will notice thicker smoke, as well as a slight increase in flavor. It does not overheat, and I have had only 1 dry hit, but that was due to a higher than required wattage    
    
  • Packaging
 I am a huge fan of cases. In fact, I will often purchase something simply because I like the box that it comes in. I absolutely admire companies that provide quality hard storage cases alongside their product. In my opinion, it makes me truly feel that I bought something of quality. Something that I want to protect, something that I want to store with pride. The box has a velvet lining where you will find your VTR, extension tube, manual and tank. It locks with a clasp. It is constructed of metal, and it is very, very attractive.


Nice, isn't it?


  • Looks
I was surprised when I opened it, as I expected it to be massive compared to my MVP 2.0. To my surprise, it is a bit more compact in size, but it does retain extra depth. The stainless steel it is constructed out of shines brightly. The overall sleek, compact, and elegant design should catch quite a few eyes.

  • Removable battery

What a welcome addition. As an MVP owner, I know that one day, my MVP will cease to be. This is because the battery is not user replaceable. The MVP is utterly disposable. The VTR, however, altered that landscape, and for that I am ecstatic. So long as caution is exercised, (such as avoiding dropping, or abusing your VTR) and you have an 18650 battery, you will have peace of mind knowing your mod will not gradually diminish in quality, only to one day fail to charge, or boot up.
Now, that is what I like about the VTR. What I unfortunately do not like...

  • Rotational wheel

Innokin has since ditched the rotational wheel in favor of a stationary wheel. However, a lot of vendors currently keep the rotational wheel in stock. Therefore it is tantamount that you contact your supplier and verify whether it is a generation 1, or generation 2, model.

Straight out of the box, the rotational wheel stuck. It needed a liberal amount of rubbing alcohol to rotate smoothly. However, I recognize the severe construction flaw. It seems that it is prone to sticking and refusing to turn. I can expect with one too many alterations, it will break, or worse yet, stick. A terrible design, the stationary wheel should have been the initial standard. As of now, it isn't giving me too much trouble, but I can't expect that it will improve in the future.
  • Protective skeleton/metal ring
The VTR sports a unique design. As you will no doubt notice in the provided pictures, instead of simply screwing in your tank of choice, you must thread it through a protective metal ring. The tank will than screw and tighten into the 510 connection. The included Iclear 30S fits like a glove. I've found that most variations of the protank (such as 2, pt3 mini, and aerotank) also it as well. When paired with a tank that meets the diameter of the ring, it boasts an intricate and innovative design. However, if your tank will not thread through, you must use the included 510 extension tube. It is long, it is bulky, and it adds an unnecessary amount of real estate. This is a severe disappointment, because I appreciate variety, and I value tanks such as the Kayfun and the Nautilus. Due to the need of the 510 connector, when I want to use my Nautilus or Kayfun, I am left with a ridiculously large looking, obtrusive tube with an equally large tank attached to it.


Isn't that wild...?

Overall, it is a well made box mod, that exceeds performance expectations. The fact that is it plagued by ridiculous design is disappointing, however if you can commit to using tanks that fit, or deal with the extended length of the extension tube, you will find yourself right at home. I would recommend this product to those who own the MVP and to those who do not, if only because of the user replaceable battery. For that, alongside the great functionality and wonderful packaging, I give the Innokin Itaste VTR the Vapocalyptic STAMP of approval.
