Introduction: EPuffer E-Liquid Range
The EPuffer E-liquid range is from company who have their headquarters in the UK!
EPuffer design, manufacture and distribute vaping devices and E-liquid to 26 countries.
They have 2 ranges of their own brand e-liquid the Premium Series and the Vapour Max Line. There are a lot of flavours to choose from in both ranges.
So for review we got a selection from both of the ranges!
I was sent 9 different flavours in 10ml sealed bottles to try:
- Blueberry Custard
- Cinnamon Danish
- Strawberry Shortcake
- Vanilla Root Beer
- Midnight Pleasure
- Cassis
- Premium Tobacco
- Canadian Tobacco
- Menthol
The Canadian Tobacco, Premium Tobacco, Midnight Pleasure, Cassis and Menthol liquids are from the Premium range.
The Blueberry Custard, Cinnamon Danish, Strawberry Shortcake and Vanilla Root Beer are from the Vapour Max Range.
PG/VG Content
The PG/VG content varies with each liquid so will explain as I go through them.
For an explanation of VG and PG in E-liquids read here.
As the Epuffer e-liquids differ in mixtures – I am using different devices to test them – high VG liquids are better in Sub Ohm equipment designed for thicker liquids and vice versa.
Nicotine Strengths
Now for nicotine strengths – this is where it gets confusing…
The Cassis for instance is a 10ml bottle so when it says it is 0.6% with 12mg nicotine I am massively confused?
Usually 12mg would give 1.2mg per ml. This is really making my head hurt – so therefore 1.2mg per ml would be 12% or 1.2%? Oh god I am even more confused now.
The E-puffer website has a guide below each E-liquid for instance this is below the Cassis…
“Cigarettes Equivalent Nicotine Strengths – (Per Bottle Content)
- 1.0mg – (2.0% per bottle)
- 0.6mg – (1.2% per bottle )
- 0mg – (0% per bottle )”
So reading that – it is comparing the nicotine to that in a cigarette? They state they use a
“New! TNC (True Nicotine Content) formula, is now calculated & rated per/unit basis”
Taste
If you read my article about Nicotine Salts and how I used them to give up smoking you will see it has only been 10 weeks since I finally kicked the tobacco out of my life.
As a result my tastebuds are playing up slightly so I did have to seek a second opinion for this review – so meet my glamorous taste assistant Jamie.
Blueberry Custard
80%VG 6mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“Good custard is creamy, soft, sweet and smooth, with a subtle hint of vanilla. This e-Liquid flavour will not disappoint, as this is the taste it delivers. The sharp fruity contrast of the blueberries take this e-Liquid flavour to a whole new level, allowing you to enjoy this blueberry custard e-Liquid the way you’re supposed to, with a smile.”
I say….
This smells absolutely delicious it really does. Yum looking forward to this one!
Well this is a bit odd. There is a weird background taste to this. There is definitely the blueberry which is lovely. But there is a weird almost musty aftertaste which is not pleasant.
Gutted if this tasted like it smelt it would have been 10/10.
Cinnamon Danish
80% VG / 20% PG 6mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“A Danish pastry is sweet, sticky and chewy, as the buttery pastry crumbles to reveal the soft sweet centre inside. The dash of cinnamon adds a seasonal touch that banishes any sweet cravings or tooth. Enjoy the flavour of the cinnamon Danish without any of the calories with this festive new flavour from EPuffer in an original e-Liquid.”
I say….
As someone who really detests Cinnamon (and Coffee if you really care haha) I handed this over to my glamorous assistant to find out if this tasted as described.
Phew looks like I dodged a bullet too – so sorry Jamie – here is his opinion…
“The cinnamon Danish was more Danish than cinnamon and there was that doughy sickly savoury flavour I really dislike.”
He gave it 3/10!
Strawberry Shortcake
80% VG / 20% PG 6mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“Quintessentially English, strawberries and shortcake go together like cheese and pickle. The fresh, juicy, plump, sweet strawberries pair perfectly with the sweet smooth vanilla of the shortcake, which delivers a dessert flavour you will want to revisit again and again. Bring out the British in you while enjoying the e-Liquid that delivers a sweet sensation with every ePuff”
I say….
This is beautiful, lovely smooth taste and the VG makes this much smoother on the throat.
I can taste the beautiful sweet strawberries and a slight hint of the shortbread.
Really tasty but not sickly in anyway and I have been happily vaping tank after tank of this so a great all day vape.
Vanilla Root Beer
80% VG / 20% PG 6mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“Sailing on the river you can be swept away in summer memories as you enjoy this new e-Liquid flavour. Imagine the waitress serving a fizzy dark brown root beer topped off with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The flavour of these summer evenings is replicated in this unique e-Liquid flavour from EPuffer. Take the taste of summer with you, whatever the weather with this root beer vanilla float e-Liquid.”
I say….
Again I had to get Jamie to do the honours with this one as I didn’t really fancy it.
His thoughts are
“The Vanilla root beer more vanilla than root beer. It is quite sickly and not my cup of tea. ”
And he rated that 5/10. Oh dear sorry Jamie…
Midnight Pleasure
60% PG / 40% VG 0.6mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“A Flirty and social aroma, infused with sweet notes of a Cotton Candy and fresh Mint. What can be better than a grown up version of a favourite childhood treat.”
I say….
Have you ever heard such a “Porn-y” name for an e-liquid! EPuffer Midnight Pleasure! Sounds like it should be in an Ann Summers brochure!
A sniff of this gave me “Pear Drops” straight away – yum!
However a vape of this is super ice cold – in fact the coldest menthol liquid I think I have ever tried!
There is a back note of this pear drop taste which must be what “cotton candy” is – I did think cotton candy was the US name for Candyfloss?
This is a lovely vape but I think a few hours of this could get a bit sickly. Plus the high PG did batter my throat a bit!
Cassis
70% PG / 30% VG 0.6mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“Blackcurrant Cassis an Apple Liqueur vape liquid. This e-liquid flavour makes it an excellent after meal vape choice.”
I say….
So I tried this one in the Eleaf Pico Baby – and it is lovely. A bit mild on the taste – however this is designed for low power MTL devices so you won’t ever get huge taste.
I can taste and smell the apples and blackcurrant and you get a good throat hit from this too.
Personally I do have concerns about the high level of PG in this – as this makes the E-liquid very thin which could cause leaks and also if you have PG intolerance it could irritate you. I do get a sore throat from too much PG so I am having to go steady with this one.
Premium Tobacco
70% PG / 30% VG 12mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“Our Finest quality golden Virginia with prime leaves of Turkish tobacco makes this flavour the top choice among electronic cigarette users.“
I say….
At first sniff this is one of the nicer smelling tobacco e-liquids I have had my hooter around. I generally find I dislike the smell of a lot of tobacco liquids and find them “chemically”.
This one has a vanilla tobacco smell.
Vaping the Premium Tobacco is a good experience – for me anyway it is one of the best tobacco flavour liquids I have tried. Like the smell this is a warm vanilla tobacco rather than a synthetic chemical style. I like this a lot!
I rarely give 10 out of 10 for a tobacco flavour!
Canadian Tobacco
70% PG / 30% VG 12mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“The Canadian varieties of cigarettes have been a long time favourite of many tobacco enthusiasts around the world. This e-liquid flavour has an enjoyable smooth tobacco flavour with slight sweetness, and aromatic tones of roasted tobacco. “
I say….
This has a much deeper and more chocolatey type smell. Again not unpleasant for a Tobacco flavour which is a nice surprise!
It is a really “Old School” flavour – like the early e-liquids from many years ago – but nicer!
There is a rich nutty vibe to this one and it is a strong tobacco more of a pipe type flavour.
I would also say there is a slight after taste of Digestive Biscuits which I wasn’t expecting! Not bad at all – but slightly musty for my liking.
Cool Mist Menthol
70% PG / 30% VG 12mg Nicotine
EPuffer say…
“Unlike other menthol e-liquids in the market, the Cool Mist special menthol e-liquid formula is made of rich and organic materials. The organic menthol crystals included in the creation process will give you an excellent vaping experience that all menthol flavour vapers are seeking for. “
I say….
This smells exactly like opening a packet of Polo mints!
Imagine eating a whole packet of Polo’s then drinking an ice cold glass of water.
Yep this is how the Cool Mist Menthol feels – right there.
Cold, minty and really icy!
Final Verdict
I do have to say EPuffer might need to look at their packaging and website info.
The packaging and labels do not state what VG/PG proportion the liquids are – I have already made an error using a high VG liquid in a MTL tank which caused coil damage. It did not say anywhere on the packaging what the mixture was.
Also the nicotine strength labelling is just so confusing. I have been vaping for years on and off and even I am confused about the strengths. How on earth would a new vaper understand?
The Epuffer e-liquid taste is generally as described and the high VG liquids are a pleasure to vape. The high PG ones have lovely strong taste but are really harsh on the throat I found.
