Today I’ve been given the honour of sampling six flavours in the Jucce Classic 10ml range of E-liquids.
“A work of art of recognised and established value” – that’s how Jucce define the word “classic” and that’s how they describe this E-liquid range.
Usually such lofty claims could be classed as arrogance but since the Classic range contains many of their best sellers, the vaping public obviously agrees with the definition.
With a vast array of categories including Menthol, Tobacco, Fruit, Beverages and Sweets there’s plenty to suit the taste buds of any keen vaper.
You can find these not only in the Classic line up but also their Tropical, Ice, Candy and Fizz ranges.
Jucce supply their Classic flavours in pre-mixed 10ml bottles, 50ml short fill bottles and even disposable pods for the new or casual vaper. All of which are available in multiple freebase nicotine strengths with various E-liquid ratios.
So the burning question today is, do I agree with the general consensus? Is the Jucce Classic range a work of art?
What Can We Expect From the Jucce Classic Range?
There’s a total of eight flavours to choose from in the range. I’m missing Cherry and Strawberry.
Some of the flavours are also available in disposable pods for use with the Jucce Bar device.
The 10ml bottle range comes in freebase nicotine strengths of 0, 3 and 6mg in 85VG/15PG ratios and 12 or 18mg in 50VG/50PG ratios.
So if you have a low powered starter kit or pod kit the 50VG/50PG line will be highly suited. Expect plenty of flavour with this option.
The 85VG/15PG version has been specifically designed for use in sub ohm devices, RTA’s (Rebuildable Tank Atomizers) or RDA’s (Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers). Expect mahoosive clouds with this option.
The 50ml short fills are available with a 70VG/30PG E-liquid ratio.

Vapeclub have very kindly supplied me with six flavours in the Jucce Classic range. As always it’s very much appreciated.
I’m testing the 85VG/15PG 3mg nicotine strength version, suitable for pod kits using coil resistances of 0.5ohm or below and with the ability to adjust airflow for a direct lung vape.
This juice ratio will also be very much at home in a decent sub ohm tank set up.
It’s not designed for MTL starter kits. If that’s your thing check out the 50VG/50PG version.
I’ll be using the SX Mini Vi Class pod kit with the replaceable VT40 (0.4ohm) mesh coils, designed for a DTL vape. Airflow was left wide open and power set to 45W.
Apple
Jucce Says:
Jucce Says:Imagine biting into a crisp juicy Apple – so juicy you could almost wipe your lips. The flavour will make your taste buds explode!
I Say:
This is your crisp, sharp garden Apple without a doubt and it does make a pleasant change to not be overwhelmed by an icy cold blast.
It’s a pleasantly smooth inhale but it’s not really until the exhale that the sweetness of the Apple unfolds.
There’s plenty of lip smacking taste on offer and you’re left feeling as though you’ve bitten down on a Granny Smiths.
So there’s oodles of authenticity here and the flavour holds up very well, even lingering on the palate post vape.
Although Apple vapes do benefit from an icy cold backdrop, this Jucce rendition does more than enough to keep me interested.
Blackcurrant
Jucce Says:
Jucce Says:If you like your flavours to be sweet with a hint of tangy tartness, this is the one for you.
I Say:
A very sour and tarty version of Blackcurrant.
It’s got all the mouth watering attributes of a fruit drink too. I’m not talking the powdered vending machine type but reminiscent of those old Tip Top Classics of old.
The ones that came with a straw you’d punch through the plastic lid.
No? You’re obviously much younger than me! lol
Jucce gives us fruity flavour by the bucket load with Blackcurrant and there’s just a touch of acidity by way of a back note or two.
The inherent sourness and fruitiness of this one makes it quite special.
Another simple, straight forward flavour banger.
Blueberry
Jucce Says:
Jucce Says:This fruit has become a firm favourite in recent years and our Classic flavour is no different. It’s sweet with a slightly acidic note.
I Say:
Quite floral on the exhale but certainly not lacking in the freshness of the flavour.
I get a mixture of sweetness and acidity. The acidic qualities are more dominant on the inhale before blending pleasantly with sweeter notes on the way out.
It’s not the usual chemical, synthetic taste I often experience with the fruit. There’s nothing harsh or intense about Blueberry.
In fact it’s relatively subdued in comparison with others – I’ve sampled many disposable alternatives and this version is far removed from those.
As I stated earlier, it’s more about the floral notes of the exhale combining with a soft, delicate Blueberry that makes this Jucce version a pleasant vaping experience.
It’s still designed for the masses but does more than enough for a simple, single flavour.
Menthol
Jucce Says:
Jucce Says:Our only non-fruity liquid in the Classic range. It’s icy cool and will keep your head crystal clear.
I Say:
Wow! I wasn’t quite expecting that level of brain freeze! lol
The Menthol builds up to mega levels during inhale but luckily that’s something you’ll be able to control. It can get highly intense and rattles the tonsils with extended draws.
I actually liked those extended pulls. The icy cold blast hits like a sledgehammer, resonating through the sinus cavities.
It returns to sensible levels on the way out and unleashes a tasty, minty flavour in the process.
Menthol is one hell of a sensory wake up call and will no doubt do wonders for anyone suffering with vapers tongue. It’s the ultimate palate cleanser in this respect.
It’s essential to have this one if you plan on picking up a few in the selection. It more than makes up for the lack of Ice found elsewhere in the range.
Plus its ultra tasty to boot!
Tobacco
Jucce Says:
Jucce Says:A traditional taste, perfect for new vapers and those making the switch to e-cigarettes, or if you prefer something a bit smoother.
I Say:
Not a bad effort. It’s quite aromatic with quite a few woody back notes.
The inhale is most definitely a smooth affair but none of the flavour is reminiscent of a hand rolled or tailor made cigarette in my opinion.
I’d have to suggest that what we have here is more in keeping with pipe tobacco because the exhale also includes an associated dryness.
It’s far from the worst replication of tobacco I’ve ever tried and at least it’s devoid of the usual oily, synthetic dross usually churned out.
There’s just a smidgeon of sweetness filtering through and to a degree I am reminded of Tobacco leaves but I think it’s the aromatic nature of this one that holds my interest.
If you’re familiar with Tobacco vapes, don’t expect any surprises. It’s a decent enough vape and the flavour holds up very well but doesn’t bring anything new to the vape table.
Then again, is it trying to?
Watermelon
Jucce Says:
Jucce Says:Refreshing and sweet, delivering a tropical taste with a distinctive flavour – just like a crisp slice of fruit!
I Say:
A pleasant Watermelon with a musky, partially sweet exhale.
The good news is that it isn’t artificial tasting and some care has gone into replicating the mouth watering fruit.
The flavour is much more subtle than your average Watermelon vape, more in keeping with a fresh Honeydew version.
So there is a layering of sweetness but nothing as intense as that of a disposable vape, for example.
Therefore the Watermelon comes across as more authentic with the fragrant properties being allowed to develop during the exhale.
Admittedly I do miss a dash of Ice with this one. It’s not as thirst quenching as it could have been, either.
At this point I usually suggest this flavour being ideal for vaping during the Summer months but Jucce Watermelon is one I could happily vape any season of the year.
Final Review verdict
Do you know what? It’s been like a trip down memory lane!
These flavours have made me feel quite nostalgic – remembering my salad days of vaping and where it all began for me.
With simple, single flavour profiles.
No additional Koolada, no fruits clashing and no harsh throat kick (I started out on 18mg freebase nicotine).
What I also distinctly remember were the false tasting flavours, many of which I never returned to.
That doesn’t happen with the Jucce Classic range.
They’ve delivered the goods, every time by using decent fruit concentrates, moderate sweetness levels and leaving the icy cold blast on the mixing room floor.
With this juice ratio I was able to enjoy that throat thump additional vapour production brings with it. Another bonus!
As a result we get six simple single flavours that hold up very well and stand the test of time. Flavours I would always choose over the current crop of disposable vapes.
In fact Jucce are an apt reminder that disposables aren’t the be all and end all.
