The Apollo Smoozie E-liquid range are based on smoothie drinks and are designed to be an all-day-vape kind of e-liquid.
Apollo have been in the Vaping game right since they first released their Cig-A-Like kit. We have reviewed a lot of their e-liquid – I recently got to try out their DSRT range and Apollo 50/50 and our other reviewers have tested their Due Time range and FAQ e-liquid ranges too.
You can choose either a high VG liquid or a Nicotine Salt liquid to suit your vaping style.
Apollo Smoozie E-Liquid Flavours
I received 10 flavour options from the range to try in both formats:
- Maui Waui – 60ml
- Maui Waui – 30ml Nicotine Salts liquid
- Strawberries Gone Wild
- Strawberries Gone Wild Nicotine Salts liquid
- Wondermelon Berry Sour
- Wondermelon Berry Sour – ICE
- Awesome Apple Sour
- Awesome Apple Sour – ICE
- Ki-berry Pear Sour
- Ki-berry Pear Sour – ICE
As you can see I got the standard flavour and the “ICE” or cold/menthol version for a selection of flavours too.
The high VG bottles come in a short fill style without nicotine, of which you can buy separately and add yourself. The bottle is 60ml in capacity with 50ml of e-liquid to leave room to add your nic shot should you choose.
The nicotine salt versions are available to buy in the EU/UK in 10ml bottles.
I will be using a Geekvape Ammit MTL RDA (on the Nunchaku 1 mod) for testing the Nic Salt liquids and the Kaees Aladdin RDA (On the Nunchaku 2 mod) for testing the high VG liquids.
As you will know personal preference is different for us all – thankfully or else only Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole would have a fella. So I do try to judge mainly on whether a liquid meets the description. Obviously the equipment you use can also change a flavour profile slightly too.
Thank you to Apollo for sending these over for review – I will report back my honest thoughts as always.
PG/VG Content
The nicotine salt versions have 50% VG and 50%PG.
The 50ml high VG versions have 70%VG and 30% PG.
If you don’t understand what PG and VG are read our handy guide.
VG vs PG in E-liquid: All You Need To Know.
The High VG liquids are for Sub Ohm vaping devices and the VG means you will get more cloud production. This is a lot thicker liquid which may not wick properly in starter and low power kits.
The Nicotine Salt versions are not to be used in Sub Ohm vaping equipment as the nicotine is too strong and also you will probably get leaks as this is a lot thinner liquid.
This is designed for starter kits and pod mods ideally so you can get a good nic hit at low power.
OK.. On with the Smoozie juice review!
Maui Waui – Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“A pineapple and mango medley blended with sweet strawberries in a smoothie you can’t put down.”
I say….
Ooh you can smell that mango a mile off – there are tropical birds all over the UK itching to fly into my room to get their beaks into this!
There is a big throat hit as you would expect from nicotine salts but this is not as harsh as say a standard high nic. Very smooth and more vapour than I thought there would be.
Taste wise it is a bit faint – there is mango coming through and a sour vibe on the back of my throat which I can’t quite explain.
The mango is the predominant taste here and a hint of the pineapple but not very strong. For a 50/50 high strength e-liquid this is great though.
Maui Waui – High VG
Apollo say…
“A pineapple and mango medley blended with sweet strawberries in a smoothie you can’t put down.”
I say….
Again massive mango vibes just smelling this – there is a Cockatoo pecking at my window I swear.
The High VG version is super smooth with massive clouds. It is also a lot sweeter. Both the Mango and Pineapple flavours come through well.
The smoothie sensation is there too – feels luxurious and almost like you have a smoothie on your tongue.
I didn’t get the strawberry but the Mango and Pineapple boxes can 100% be ticked.
The sweetness of this liquid really makes me happy but it is not sickly sweet either. I could vape this one all day!
Strawberries Gone Wild Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“Strawberries mashed with raspberries and tart green apples with a fresh kick you won’t be able to resist.”
I say….
The smell of this reminds me of Strawberry Chewits! I have been quite partial to the odd pack of Chewits lately too!
As usual with higher PG e-liquid on alower powered device the taste doesn’t seem to come through as strong as a high VG version. There is always a slight chemical taste to me. However the nic salt is very smooth and doesn’t make your throat tickle at all.
There is definitely strawberry which you seem to taste more after you have exhaled – like a faint Strawberry Chewits taste – say 10 minutes after eating one. You don’t get the apple on the nic salt version as much but this isn’t as sweet as the high VG version so it’s not necessary.
This doesn’t give the same creamy sensation as the high VG version but you get a good throat and nic hit without it feeling harsh or chemically.
As nic salt liquids go though this is lovely and very vapeable. Just be careful not to overdo it as this is hardcore stuff!
Strawberries Gone Wild High VG
Apollo say…
“Strawberries mashed with raspberries and tart green apples with a fresh kick you won’t be able to resist.”
I say….
I tested the nic salt version of this flavour first and again this smells exactly like the Strawberry Chewits – really really yummy!
As expected the high VG version had much stronger flavour. The vape almost felt creamy on my tongue – I know that sounds stupid but it does!
So this is mainly a strawberry ice cream flavour but you do get a little blast of the apple at the end. The apple just cuts through the sweet creamy stuff to stop it being sickly too.
Wow this is absolutely gorgeous – I love this e-liquid! It is not just a taste but a sensation too and it is amazing. Well done Apollo this is a liquid I will be buying again!
Wondermelon Berry Sour – Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“When taste buds are in danger of boring flavours, Wondermelon Berry Sour is here to save the day!! A sweet yet smooth and easy to vape blend of watermelon, cantaloupe, and strawberries, Wondermelon Berry Sour will have you wondering why we’ve been hiding this sweet flavour this whole time!”
I say….
I am getting a lovely fruity whiff just opening the bottle here so I have high hopes…
My first impression on vaping this is instantly strawberry. Like a strawberry chew taste.
I get a slight sour vibe whilst vaping but this doesn’t make my tongue tingle like the high VG version does.
It is a nice vape, nothing out of this world and doesn’t blow me away.
It is one of those liquids you can’t quite make your mind up about. Which tells me its average. Nothing makes you go “Wow that is amazing” but neither does it make you vomit up your lunch.
I suppose “average” flavour liquids are more suitable as an all day vape, nothing offensive but nothing exciting either.
I could vape this all day but it wouldn’t be a flavour I would go out and buy several bottles of.
Wondermelon Berry Sour – High VG
Apollo say…
“A sweet yet smooth and easy to vape blend of watermelon, cantaloupe, and strawberries, Wondermelon Berry Sour will have you wondering why we’ve been hiding this sweet flavour this whole time!”
I say….
Aha the high VG version is way more like it!
There is still the main strawberry flavour but there is a little burst which makes your tongue tingle. I feel almost a sherbet like sensation from this e-liquid.
This is a whole lot nicer than the nic salt version, very smooth to vape too.
I am a real wuss with sour stuff, I do enjoy those sweets with the sour sugar coating, but I can pull some right faces during the process of eating them. Thankfully there are no facial gymnastics here.
There is just about the right amount of sour for me, I am by default someone with a sweet tooth though so this may be not sour enough for some people.
I absolutely love this I really do! But for some it might not live up to the “Sour” name.
Wondermelon Berry Sour – ICE – Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“What’s more wonderful than Wondermelon? Wondermelon Berry Ice is! Packed with mouthwatering watermelon, crazy cantaloupe and sweet strawberry all on ice! Your favourite melon/berry mix blasted with chilling ice that’ll make any busy city or inland town like a day at the beach!”
I say….
I did try the high VG version of this first and wow the over use of the menthol has frozen all my taste buds away. So it took several drinks and eating some sweets to get them back to life so I could give this version a bash.
I will say from the first vape the nic salt version is not as vicious. The High VG version was like being force fed liquid Nitrogen.
The taste from this is very similar to the non ICE nic salt version with a burst of that menthol minty flavour. I wasn’t massively impressed with the flavour levels of the non ice version if I am honest.
But at least this is vapeable – the menthol levels present in the high VG versions is pretty unpleasant. This is OK.
Oh and again I am not picking up any sour stuff going on – there is a waft of strawberry sometimes.
Wondermelon Berry Sour – ICE – High VG
Apollo say…
“Packed with mouthwatering watermelon, crazy cantaloupe and sweet strawberry all on ice! Your favourite melon/berry mix blasted with chilling ice that’ll make any busy city or inland town like a day at the beach!”
I say….
Having a first sniff of this when I open the bottle it smells pretty much the same as the “non ice” version.
But like the Apple Sour Ice liquid this is more menthol than anything. It is mainly like filling my tank with Olbas Oil!
(Oh and please don’t do that – it is not for vaping – you don’t need to anyway just buy some of this instead…)
There is a slight strawberry aftertaste but way too much menthol which is not just cooling or minty but actually like Eucalyptus and this wipes out any other flavours.
Look I will be honest – after recovering from multiple viruses over the course of December the eucalyptus is nice and cooling on a sore throat.
But if you want any other flavour than menthol – this is best avoided really. I loved the non ice version but the overpowering menthol has wiped out all of the beautiful flavour.
Apollo Smoozie Awesome Apple Sour -Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“Apples, apples and more apples! That’s what you get when you get yourself a bottle of Awesome Apples! A clean, refreshing apple sour that will have begging for more!”
I say….
Just opening the bottle gives me a beautiful rich apple smell – the same as a carton of fresh apple juice.
It isn’t quite as flavourful as I was expecting – the smell really gets your taste buds going. However the flavour you do get is lovely albeit slightly dilute.
The tart apple is definitely there I just wish it would sing out a bit more as it really is a lovely fresh and natural flavour. Nothing synthetic or “sweetie” like.
This isn’t massively sour but there was a tinge of the sour sugar that you have sprinkled on the outside of sweets which makes your tongue tingle. I do like that sensation!
Apollo Smoozie Awesome Apple Sour – High VG
Apollo say…
“Apples, apples and more apples! That’s what you get when you get yourself a bottle of Awesome Apples! A clean, refreshing apple sour that will have begging for more!”
I say….
I tried the Nic salt version of this flavour first and found the flavour tart and fresh and like a real apple.
The High VG version is a lot sweeter. This has more of a sweetie taste and not quite as natural.
It is a lovely smooth vape and despite the name promising “sour” I found nothing to make me wince at all. In fact this is a lot sweeter than I was expecting.
Tons of vapour and I found the flavour was stronger on the inhale and it seemed to dilute on the exhale.
A beautiful apple flavour – just not quite as sour as I was expecting.
Apollo Smoozie Awesome Apple Sour – ICE – Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“Tangy, tart sour apples just got really cool! Awesome Apples Ice is a blast of apples, apples and… you guessed it! MORE APPLES with a blast of a refreshing ice kick! So cool and so smooth, you’ll be grabbing your next bottle in no time!”
I say….
I tried this after the high VG ICE version – which basically cryogenically froze my whole face…
The nic salt version has a lot more apple going on thankfully and less of the menthol but it is still there.
I feel like I have eaten a Polo mint then had a drink of pure apple juice.
This is super cold but again like the high VG version the menthol flavour needs toning down a tad. It is not just cooling but the minty ice is there. This overshadows the mellow apple going on in the background.
Super refreshing but needs less mint and more apple.
Apollo Smoozie Awesome Apple Sour – ICE – High VG
Apollo say…
“Tangy, tart sour apples just got really cool! Awesome Apples Ice is a blast of apples, apples and… you guessed it! MORE APPLES with a blast of a refreshing ice kick! So cool and so smooth, you’ll be grabbing your next bottle in no time!”
I say….
Opening the bottle and adding this to my RDA I got exactly the same beautiful apple-y smell as the non ice version.
When you come to vape this however it is a whole different experience!
ICE?? ICE?? This stuff is polar, I have hypothermia from 2 vapes – wow that woke me up a bit!
And it’s not just icy, there is menthol, almost strong minty things going on.
I can still taste the apple but the mint and menthol flavour is now overpowering it. Whoosh that one took me by surprise.
So to sum up – think of vaping Vics Chest Rub whilst eating an apple… Really refreshing but needs the apple volume turning up!
Apollo Smoozie Ki-berry Pear Sour – Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“While everyone loves a strawberry kiwi blend, we had to one up your taste buds and add a little pear to the mix to modernize a classic! Ki-Berry Pear Sour is a juicy, tangy bottle of love that you won’t be able resist! Being this sour has never been this sweet!”
I say….
Opening the bottle and having a good sniff I get a very mixed fruit smell – like opening a bag of mixed up Haribo sweets. No smell is prominent just a fruity cocktail.
This has a bit more sour than the other flavours I have tried – but still not enough to make me wince. I barely even blinked to be honest.
The pear flavour is there – think of some pear drop sweets you have dipped into a glass of mixed fruit juice. Pear is the only flavour I can just about pick out really. The rest of the flavours kind of scramble about together.
I assume the slight sour note is the Kiwi in the background and the “omnipresent” strawberry candy flavour is what takes the sour notes away. It is just so hard to pick out a single flavour. Basically just put your hand in a mixed bag of fruit sweets and eat 10 at the same time to get an idea of what I mean.
I will say this flavour is the nearest to the description but again there is nothing massively sour and the fruit flavours do not sing out at all, they just merge into the backing choir rather than take any solo spots.
Apollo Smoozie Ki-berry Pear Sour – High VG
Apollo say…
“While everyone loves a strawberry kiwi blend, we had to one up your taste buds and add a little pear to the mix to modernize a classic! Ki-Berry Pear Sour is a juicy, tangy bottle of love that you won’t be able resist! Being this sour has never been this sweet!”
I say….
If I felt that the nic salt version was pretty much a mashed up fruit cocktail then the high VG version is even more mixed.
There are no prominent flavours at all. It is simply a fruity mash up. Like an Orgy in a Del Monte factory.
However this is bloody lovely I will say!
It is not at all sour and does feel sweet and with a sherbet like tingle left on your tongue after a vape I am really enjoying this.
If you want sour though it’s best you move along and don’t add this bottle to your basket yeah.
Apollo Smoozie Ki-berry Pear Sour – ICE – Nicotine Salt 50/50
Apollo say…
“No one has ever been so sour, sweet and cool all at the same time… UNTIL NOW! Ki-Berry Pear Ice is your favourite tangy blend of sensational strawberries, kickin’ kiwis and punching pears with an ice chill ready to be the hero of all of your taste buds needs! Made by us flavour snobs, for us flavour snobs!”
I say….
Yep the unwanted “Eucalyptus” theme continues here.
I wish someone would tell this Eucalyptus to bugger off as it comes along and steals all the flavours which should be there and replaces them with a vape which tastes like something out of the “Cough, Cold and Flu” aisle in the supermarket.
So as with the rest of the “ICE” range – this is all menthol and not much else sadly.
Apollo Smoozie Ki-berry Pear Sour – ICE – High VG
Apollo say…
“No one has ever been so sour, sweet and cool all at the same time… UNTIL NOW! Ki-Berry Pear Ice is your favourite tangy blend of sensational strawberries, kickin’ kiwis and punching pears with an ice chill ready to be the hero of all of your taste buds needs!

I say….
I can only assume that Apollo owes someone at a Eucalyptus flavouring manufacturer a huge favour? Why else would they spoil lovely e-liquid with such huge quantities of this unwelcome flavour.
I am actually questioning myself as to if Eucalyptus is normal in menthol e-liquid? In my years of vaping “Menthol” liquids usually have a minty taste and cold sensation and “Ice” or “Cooling” liquids just have the cooling sensation usually without a flavour?
Unlike the other High VG Ice versions there is a slight aftertaste of the actual liquid flavour – but very very little. This does make it the better flavour of the Ice range.
Such a shame as the non ice version was gorgeous.
This will go on the shelf for when I get Tonsillitis or a sore throat as it is quite soothing but not a flavour I want to vape on.
Final Verdict
Hmm a mixed bag here.
If you want “suck your pants up your bum” levels of sour – then these Apollo Smoozie e-liquids are not the flavours for you.
Sadly even the liquids I enjoyed did have to drop marks for not being as sour as expected.
I am not a huge fan of sour stuff – but these are way more sweet in my eyes.
Not one of them so much as raised an eyebrow in the sour stakes.
The excessive menthol use in the ICE versions did make me cringe though.
The high VG flavours I really enjoyed but the Ice versions were over powered by a Eucalyptus menthol flavour taking away any other flavour notes.
For me I would bump up the flavour in the Nic Salt versions, the High VG versions are great and to be honest completely re-think the “ICE” versions.
The menthol flavour was way too strong and made all of these versions taste pretty much the same.
As for the Maui Waui and Strawberries flavours, these are so “Jungley” if that is a word? For some reason I keep singing the “Um Bongo” tune to myself! Wonder if they vape this in the Congo?
The High VG liquids were so smooth and yummy and the clouds were excellent.
The Nicotine Salt versions are really smooth and no harsh throat hit – I didn’t cough once! The flavours are more muted on these versions – but saying that these are some of the best nic salt liquids I have had for flavour.
So definitely a some good flavours to go for.
