It's been a few weeks since I have been able to be on here with you, but I had to take a few minutes to let you know about this great new liquid I received from The Vape Tree.
The bottle I received was a 50/50 mix and, as most times, was at 18mg of Nic.
Just Peachy....................Now that is a name that says it all.
I know what you're thinking......."I've had Peach liquids before and they all taste "chemically" or "candied"." but I have to say........THIS juice is DIFFERENT!!!
I don't know what the mixologists at The Vape Tree done, but I do know they hit the nail on the head with this peach flavor. I grew up in the South-East of the United States and being a few hours from the Georgia state line, I grew up on the wonderful, fuzzy fruit made so famous in those Georgia orchards.
I've had peaches straight off the tree, in pies, in cobblers, canned.........hell, I've even had them pickled, but my favorite way to have them has always been canned. Canned in their own sweet juices...........and THIS is exactly what Just Peachy brings to my mind.
Just Peachy isn't the typical "fresh peach" flavor that most E-Liquid companies strive (and mostly fail) to give their customer. It takes that basic peach flavor and expands on it by giving you, not just that tart, puckering flavor of the peach but it also incorporates the complex natural sweetness of the peach when it becomes "overly ripe". That point where the peach is still firm but is about to burst from all the juices built up inside that furry skinned flesh.
I vaped this on my KR Mod (as usual) and started at 3.6 volts. This time I used an Aspire BDC Tank (which is a change up from my normal 5ml Clearo). First thing I got was the overwhelming taste of the peach flavor. I expected the same "lackluster" flavors I've tried from other vendors but was pleasantly surprised by the balance of tart, sweetness and accurate flavor. It left no "chemical" or "candy" taste at all. Just........well, PEACH.
Vapor Production is also spot on. Nice, big clouds from this liquid. The exhale was just as refreshing as the inhale and the taste was untouched. It still tasted like peaches. Its great.
I know that it seems like such a rip to sum up something with just 2 words, but when its right, it's right....................and saying "IT'S GREAT".....well, that is RIGHT!!
I didn't try this at any other voltage because I feel that it doesn't need it. It's a truly wonderful vape at 3.6v and to raise the voltage would only spoil that great flavor, in my mind.
If you liked this review and would like to try Just Peachy yourself, please visit The Vape Tree and pick up a bottle. They have a growing flavor catalog and I look forward to trying more of their liquids in the future, but until then.........everything will be "just.........
Nevermind.........this doesn't need a cheesy pun. It's THAT GOOD!!
Thanks for reading and I hope you've enjoyed this review of The Vape Tree's Just Peachy. Remember to keep coming back for more, here at The Vaping Dead and as always........
HAPPY VAPING!!!!!

Ecto Cooler from Mt. Baker Vapor
Okay, peeps.......Strap on your Ghostbusting Gear, grab your Proton Packs and don't forget to pack that lunch with your favorite juicebox, because it's time to talk ECTO COOLER!!!
I remember when Hi-C first came out with the Ecto Cooler juicebox. Ghostbusters was a huge hit in the theaters already, so Columbia Pictures Television & DiC Enterprises animated the "Busters" and kinda made Slimer the "official mascot". Slimer, as we all know, was the green, slimy ghost that helped ruin the hotel in the first movie. After finally "evacuating" Slimer, Bill Murray's character "Peter Venkman" bursts from the Ball Room exclaiming....."We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!".....and it's with THAT very exclamation in which I will review this juice!!
The bottle of Ecto Cooler that I received, as stated above, is from Mt. Baker Vapor. It is a 50/50 pg/vg mix and it's at a 24mg Nic Level.
Gonna vape this on my KR Mod (as usual) so I can mess with the voltage while I go. I'll be using a brand new coil head on my 5ml Clearomizer and hopefully I'm gonna get the best flavor possible.
Here goes........
First off...........Cap off. BANG!!! Citrus BLAST right in the ol' smeller!!! This stuff smells like a freshly cut mix of citrus fruits. No one fruit more than another..........just a POP of citrus goodness. I love the smell of citrus. Sweet, Tart, Tangy...........MMMMMMMMM!!!!!
The smell has me, for sure.
Loaded up my Clearo......Let's take it to town, people!!!!
First hit.............(3.6v).....Good. Not the "exact" flavor I remember from childhood but definitely close enough. It's not as sweet as I remember the juicebox being, but I don't guess it could be. It IS however, very good!! Very "citrus-y" (I don't think thats a word, but we're going with it) and makes your mouth water on the inhale. Very similar to a breakfast drink I had as a child called "5Alive".
It's very much a blend of several citrus fruits and not just Orange or Lemon/Lime. Very complex in that it is literally kinda sweet one second and still tart the next. I like that a lot!!
Let's try cranking the voltage up to 4.6v, and see what that does.
Second hit.............Better. I can taste the citrus even more at this voltage and just that single volt more helped produce a nice Throat Hit and doubled my Vapor Production. This stuff really vapes, by the way. The amount of vapor produced here is very pleasing and now I'm wondering if this would have been better in a Carto Tank instead of the Clearo. Guess I could always find out later, huh??
Third hit............(5.4v and not a volt higher)........Still very citrus-y but the added warmth from the higher volt does nothing for the Ecto Cooler. Throat Hit and Vapor Production seem to be the same as at 4.6v. The only REAL difference I see is that it seems to make me wanna have a little sip of water afterwards. Like I was parched.
All around........I'd say Ecto Cooler is good. For me it's not an "All Day Vape" but one I'd like to keep for early morning vaping or for those days when I'm craving a citrus type soda (Mello Yello, Squirt or even the real Ecto Cooler from Hi-C) and just don't want the extra calories.
Well........to paraphrase the great Dr. Venkman, in regards to MBV's Ecto Cooler,....."It came, I vaped, and this juice kicks ass!!!"
So......."Who ya gonna call?" when you want Ecto Cooler?? MT. BAKER VAPOR, that's who!!!!
I hope you've enjoyed my review of Ecto Cooler from Mt. Baker Vapor and I look forward to giving you my next review soon. Thanks, again, from the "UN-dead" blogger and..........

SweetBacco from Vapealicious Juice
Hey everybody..........."UN-dead" blogger, here. Today I'm giving my review of SweetBacco from Vape-a-licious. I got this last week in an order where I ordered it and STL Gooey Butter Cake (Review for STL GBC can be found in the E-Juice Reviews section of The Vaping Dead ;) )
First off, I wanna let you know that this juice is dark. I know some people feel like dark liquids burn up Attys, so you've been told ahead of time.
Second thing...........It's a 50/50 pg/vg mix and at an 18mg Nic Level.
I did NOT try this liquid in a Carto. I used a 5ml Clearomizer, top wicking coil.
SweetBacco from Vape-a-licious.
Okay...........Opening the bottle, you can smell the juice straight away. It's a very sweet smelling liquid. Not "WOW!!!"........but more like "MMMmmmmmm!!!". You can tell its a tobacco, for sure, but it has a very "syrupy" smell. Very sweet. It's a wonderful blend of the two, with neither being "over the top". Once its vaped, the vapor smells very much like an unburned cigar.
It has a rich, caramel color and isn't thick at all despite being a 50/50 pg/vg mix (actually seems a little more like a 65/35 mix, in my opinion)
Tank full and the KR set to 3.6v..........first hit. "Yeah!" (ever get that? That "cocked head" look of amazement?) THIS is a different kind of animal. I've had nutty tobaccos, sweet tobaccos, Flue cured, Pipe blends, cigars blends, "Cowboys", "Humpbacks", and tons of others................and THIS is different. This actually reminds me of............CHEWING TOBACCO.
Like "Redman Classic" or "Levi Garrett". It's not "candy" sweet but it is "sweet".............it has a FULL, very robust tobacco flavor too.
Now let's go a digit higher.........4.6v!! Another hit. "OH.......Yeah!! This has Throat Hit!! Catches you right at the top of the throat. Its not harsh but it is heavy. It feels like a very full, vaporous hit (but we'll discuss that next). Flavor is still there and strong. Still amazing that its like Chewing Tobacco too.
I'm not taking the voltage any higher with this juice. I'm weary of how it might do. I don't wanna give it that "burnt out" taste that some tobaccos get at higher volts, so 4.6v would be my recommendation on this one. It's very good and not too hot. Good Vapes.
Vapor Production. Great. Not "Excellent".........Not "Super Thick".........."Great" sums it up. It's there, and it is a heavy volume, but it isn't "thick" or "white out" worthy. It is enough to make you feel satisfied. I know that even if we still get our Nic cravings taken care of, we still like seeing some vapor too. SweetBacco satisfies that need to see vapor.
If you were once a fan of chewing tobacco and wanna revisit the great taste of it.....try SweetBacco. I'm willing to bet it takes you back to "those days"......"jaw stuffed and spit cup in hand". I'd recommend that anyone try this (but especially the "ex-chewer"), as I really did enjoy this flavor. Although it seemed thin and it was dark.........for the cost, I think its well worth the purchase. It has a great flavor and a good Vapor Production.

STL Gooey Butter Cake by Vape-a-licious juice
Mail guy stopped at the crypt today. He had a tiny, lil, brown box in his hand. "What could possible be inside that little thing?" I thought...........and then it hit me!!! Not what was in the box.........the mailman, He hit me!! Told me to quit biting at his fingers!!! Hahahahahaaaaaaaaa
Inside the box was a fabulous array of black and pink confetti strips along with 2 10ml bottles. It was HERE!!!! My order from Vape-a-licious!!!
I had been looking forward to this for quite some time!! I had heard tons of praise about their #1 selling juice.........STL Gooey Butter Cake!! I'm not a big fan of dessert style/flavored E-Liquids but I had to try this one. I LOVE the real dessert and knowing that there was such a good following for this liquid, I knew I'd be ordering a bottle soon enough.
I also ordered the #2 best selling liquid under their Flavor Catalog......SweetBacco, but that's another review for another day.
On to the BUTTER CAKE!!!!
Vape-a-licious' STL Gooey Butter Cake at 18mg and a 50/50 pg/vg mix.
Loaded this into a New Clearo and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Long enough for it to be good and wicked, cause I'd hate for a dry burn to ruin this first time tasting.
I can't tell you enough just how delicious this juice smells!! Rich, buttery, the smell of warm cake and something else. I can't quite place what it is though........but it smells terrific!!!
I was on the edge of my seat, ready to get a really good "puff,puff" on this stuff. The thought of it coming this past week has had my mouth watering!! I'm ready to do this...........
So I tasted. WOW!!! HOW AMAZING CAN ONE JUICE BE????
Really!!! This stuff is EXCELLENT!!! It's buttery, its sweet, its warm......its bitter?? HUH??? Not bitter in a bad way though.......bitter, like a good bitter. Like............a dark roasted coffee. Now THAT........That is the smell I couldn't place earlier and I'm glad I couldn't, cause it would've ruined the surprise!!
I can not put words together to tell you exactly how good this juice is. If you like dessert flavored vapes......TRY THIS!! Make it your next order, REALLY!!
The vapor production on this juice is also excellent. Not thick, milky clouds but definitely a lot of vapor and a nice Throat Hit, which I feel comes from the coffee flavor you get in there.
All in all........I'm impressed!! Like I said, I'm no big fan of sweet, sweet vape juices but STL Gooey Butter Cake is the exception to my rule. I'll be keeping a bottle of this around. Maybe it won't be your "ADV" (All Day Vape)..............but it is something you might want to keep in your drawer for those extra special days when the world has been good to you.
I hope you have enjoyed this look at Vape-a-licious' STL Gooey Butter Cake. I would recommend stopping by their website (http://www.vapealiciousjuice.com/) and checking them out. I'll be looking at SweetBacco here in the near future so be sure to check back with the "UN-dead" blogger and The Vaping Dead for that review. Until then..........Happy Vaping!!!!

Pink Panther by Joost
Over the weekend, the "UN-dead" blogger had a chance to kick back and have some fun, so he did. He visited with loved ones (both, living and "UN-dead"), scared a few people, and talked to some about vaping and introducing them to this lifestyle (or is it his "lifeLESSstyle" he wonders??). Hahahahahahaaaaaaa
Through all of these things one thought kept creeping up on him.........."I wonder how that Pink Panther is gonna taste??"
The fine folks over at Joost sent the "UN-dead" blogger a small bottle of their finest Pink Panther juice and as much as he enjoyed being away from things, he just couldn't wait to get back to his crypt and try it out.
The sample that was sent was a 10ml bottle. 18mg Nic Level and 50/50 pg/vg mix. Light Yellow, almost clear, in color..........this juice so far has potential. I was afraid that being called "Pink Panther" might be an indication that the liquid was going to be pink in color and I prefer a colorless to light amber shade in my liquids.
First impressions, before tasting........GOOD!! I cracked the sealed bottle and took the cap off. Being careful not to squirt juice into the place where my nostril used to be, I squeezed the bottle as I ran in front of my nose. The smell is sweet. At first seeming slightly fruity......not like REAL fruit, but more like an artificial fruit flavoring, and then the hints of bubble gum came thru too. This is a very appealing smell, folks. Like one of the "gum/hard candy hybrids" you get in your Halloween bag. I always loved those as a kid!!
Now to the bottom line...........Taste and VAPOR!!! Where do they stand? Well.......this was the breakdown for the experience I had.
I loaded up a 5ml Clearo (top wicking coil) with about 4ml of the "not-so Pink" liquid. The bottle steadily dripping its fine juice into the tank til I hit my mark. Cap screwed on. Mod set to my starter voltage.......3.6v. First hit......slow, steady draw. Vapor production not where it should be, for me, anyway. Taste is there. Not a sweet as it smells.
Let's try a higher voltage. Here we go........4.6v. Second hit. Slow, steady draw. Vapor production is up, as expected. Flavor hasn't increased. Still there but not the taste you expect from a liquid that smells as sweet as this.
I really, REALLY wanted this juice to be "there". You know......THAT spot. The place where your vaping was satisfying because ALL of it came together greatly. Great Vapor production, Great smell and Great taste..............but unfortunately, Pink Panther is a near miss, for me.
The vapor production was nice. Although I didn't blow "huge plooms" of vapor, I did get a consistently voluminous hit that satisfied my visual need to see the cloud.
The smell.......was AWESOME!! Hands down, one of the greatest smelling juices I've encountered. If he smell and taste were as close as, I feel, they should be.......THIS would be a GREAT vape.
The taste..........let's just say the taste is "there". Not heavy, not saturating and not satisfying. The smell of Pink Panther writes a check that it's flavor just can't cash.
Some of you may still want to form your own opinions of Pink Panther. I, myself, won't be ordering a bigger bottle but Joost has plenty of flavors that I still want to try. Not every flavor we try can be the best "ever" and I chalk this up to "different tastes for different people". It just wasn't MY flavor...............
But that doesn't mean it isn't YOURS!!! I urge you to visit Joost's website and make yourself familiar with their brand. They seem like genuinely great people and I'm sure that they put their hearts and souls into their juices. You can find Joost on the web here........https://joostvapor.com/ and be sure to browse their hardware section too. Looks like this place is off to a great start!!.
Til next time, Vaping Fans.............I hope you had a good read and Happy Vaping!!!!

"Ghetto KoolAid" from Dragon Vaporz
Ever get that craving for your childhood? I know I do.......and what says "childhood" quite like "Kool-Aid"?? NOTHING!!!
I remember being a kid, running inside from playing and opening that fridge and seeing it!!!.........Not the Coke or the SunnyD.........I wanted that "PURPLE STUFF" (as Dave Chappelle put it so accurately). I grew up in a house run on Kool-Aid and Grape was my favorite!!
Dragon Vaporz has so accurately captured that joy from my youth with the newest flavor in their Flavor Catalog. It's name.......Ghetto KoolAid.
Ghetto KoolAid is a delicious Grape flavored E-Liquid. This "amber colored wonder" comes in a 50/50 pg/vg mix, meaning that it is gonna hold that wonderful flavor and also provide the absolute best in vapor production!!! The bottle I have is a 12mg nicotine level, but the "Head Dragon" of the shop promises that he will be providing Ghetto KoolAid at Nic levels similar to those in the rest of his Flavor Catalog. I, personally, do NOT mind such a low Nic Level on a liquid such as this one. Only means I can vape harder and longer on it!!!
I've vaped this liquid on my Knight Rider VV Mod at several different volts. I vaped it at 3.8.......I vaped it at 4.6.......I vaped it at 5.4.........I vaped it at 6 volts, people.........NO CHANGE in flavor!!!! NONE!!! Vapor production went from great to INSANE!!! Humongoid CLOUDS of rich, full, Grape flavored vapor. Made me wanna bust thru the wall and yell "OH, Yeeaahhhh!!!" at the top of my lungs!!
Now WHAT is better than that? Please......if you know, tell the "UN-dead" Blogger so he can try it.

B&B from S&S Mods
Ok........Got this bottle of B&B from the fine folks running S&S Mods
http://www.sandsmods.com/black-black/
I only gave this a little taste when it first arrived. I dripped a little (6 drops or so) onto a 510 atty I had and puffed up some. It produced a very nice, full vapor and the taste, to me, seemed that of Pipe Tobacco. Very heavy tasting, yet good, blend of a domestic tobacco and a black tobacco. The Blackberry was not very predominate at all. It was there.........but not like I expected.
After steeping for more than 1 week I decided to fill a tank and give this lil bottle its shot...............
And to my surprise........It HIT!!! Now I get the Blackberry!! Just as in the Blackberry Waffle the taste of that little black berry shines!! Not too sweet, not tart at all..........SMOOTH. It compliments the tobacco, which by now has became much more mellow and doesn't seem as much like Pipe Tobacco as it does like a B&M cigar.
The vapor cloud is still huge and this one provides a very decent TH, for those that like that.
I vaped this only at 4.1v and at 6v, as I felt any lower would not do it justice.
All in all.......I'd have to say that for me, it couldn't be an ADV, but it would be a flavor that I would take out on those days when I wanted to relax on the front stoop and soak up some lazytime!!
Thanks to Chopper for giving me a chance to taste this wonderful juice. By far, one of the most pleasant "strong" tobacco flavors I've tasted so far. It's what I'm puffing on as I type this and I have to say.........the more I taste, the more I like.
I provided a link to B&B, as before, under the pic for those that want to try it.
Thanks for reading and Happy Vaping, my friends!!

Blackberry Waffle from S&S Mods.
Received this 30ml bottle of Blackberry Waffle from our friends over at S&S Mods.
Blackberry Waffle - sandsmods
Blackberry Waffle, 18mg, 50/50 pg/vg mix
My first impression upon my first taste was one of "Nice...........it isn't like a Blackberry jelly sweetness thing". I was really worried that it would be overly sweet. Instead, it is more like a freshly picked Blackberry. Not too sweet, not too tart. It's predominate, but not overpowering. I also expected that there would be a strong butter flavor in the vape because this is WAFFLE were talking about. To my surprise........no. There is a faint hint of "baked good" or "pastry" in the flavor but not a overbearing taste of butter like some "cakey" flavored liquids. It is just enough to please the pallet and let you know that its there.
Overall,.........I'd say that it is a well balanced mix and reminds me of breakfast on a Saturday.
It produces an excellent plume of vapor too. Vaped at 3.3v-3.6v, the vape is very flavorful and cool. There is a nice volume of vapor and you are very pleased with what you experienced. Vaped at 4.1v-4.6v (my personal favorite is 4.1v) the flavor is still great and it has a little more TH. Still produces nice vapor and for MY liking, this is the voltage to use with this mix. Vaped at 6v this juice looses something for me though. The cloud is still there.........the flavor is still there. I think for me.......it's that the vapor itself is warmer. For those that don't mind this, it's a great vape, but for me this flavor is more enjoyable with a cooler vapor.
I would recommend this juice to anyone looking for a nice, lite, fruity and fresh vape. It's satisfying and keeps you coming back to your device for another taste.
I'll revise this review after letting the liquid steep for a while and give a review of any vapor/flavor changes that might occur.
I wanna thank S&S Mods for the awesome liquid and you for taking the time to read this review. If you think you would like to try Blackberry Waffle (from S&S Mods) please visit their site (link provided under pic). Excellent pricing, Excellent service.
Happy Vaping, my friends.........Happy Vaping!!!

"Pom Beach" by Nicquid
Recently, I ordered a few bottles of "DayBreak" from the fine online establishment we call Nicquid. I had heard great things about their liquids, including "they have the most crisp, refreshing fruit flavors" and "Their menthol collection is the best out there". This intrigued me, as I LOVE a good MENTHOL Vape.
I'm also a big fan of most all tobacco flavors, so when reading the description provided by Nicquid on their "DayBreak" Liquid, I knew I had to order some.
Now that you have my lil backstory, let's move on to why we're here..............."Pom Beach".
When my package from Nicquid arrived, I opened it to find an extra bottle in my envelope.........."Pom Beach". I opened the bottle and gave it a sniff and to my delight, it smelled terrific, but I wanted to try the "DayBreak". Afterall.......THAT was what I had ordered and been looking forward to vaping (a review on "DayBreak" WILL be coming soon).
That's been a few weeks ago.
Tonight, after all day of vaping on one of my favorite Menthol Flavors, I decided to give the "Pom Beach" a try. I primed a dual punched, single coil carto with about 20 droplets of liquid, soaking the filler with the golden liquid and then pushed it thru a 6ml tank. I filled the tank with about 3ml of "Pom Beach" and let it sit for about 2 hours, giving it time to become sufficiently wicked with the liquid.
Now is the time for me to include that Nicquid's pg/vg mix ratio is a, very common, 70/30 mix. This means the liquid is thin and flows easily. (Knowing that, I was worried that it might flood my carto, as I prefer a 50/50 mix in my usual liquids)
After 2 hours of priming, I screwed the tank down onto my VV Mod and took my first plunge into Nicquid's "Pom Beach", and it was.........................TASTY!! It really did have a very crisp, fruity, delightful flavor. It was also very light, very refreshing to my palate. I am very pleased with the taste of this liquid. I get the dominate tartness of the Pomegranate but it doesn't make my mouth pucker. It does make my mouth water a little similar to the way your mouth would water after a squirt of lemon juice. The Pomegranate is complimented by very bright, refreshing tones of Strawberry, mostly tasted in the "back end" of the inhale and more so in the exhale. Again.......making my mouth water.
The vapor production on this flavor is where my excitement ends. The vapor isn't heavy at all. Mostly due, I believe, to the 70/30 (pg/vg) mix. PG is wonderful for keeping the flavors of an E-Liquid but it lacks that "OOMPH!!" in vapor production that you get from VG. I, myself, am a BIG fan of large volume vapor. Love to see those huge clouds!! Makes me feel like I've actually inhaled something. The vapor production of "Pom Beach" (as I also found out with "DayBreak") is very low volume and lacking, for MY personal tastes. Others who enjoy a lower volume vapor production will really enjoy this liquid, especially if they also enjoy tarty, fruity, crisp flavored juices.
All in all, I'd recommend Nicquid's "Pom Beach" to anyone looking for a good Pomegranate vape juice, but not without the added disclaimer about the vapor production.
I wanna thank the guys at Nicquid.com for sending me the bottle of "Pom Beach" to try, and add that even though it isn't MY typical flavor or vapor choice.........it IS very good. I have enjoyed it and I'm sure I'll be revisiting it many times for a burst of fruity, Pomegranate goodness.
I believe that this is gonna conclude tonight's review of Nicquid's "Pom Beach". For those that are interested in trying "Pom Beach" (or ANY of Nicquid's flavors), please visit Nicquid at Nicquid.com and browse their ever growing flavor catalog
Thank you, the reader, for stopping here at The Vaping Dead and reading tonight's review.
(If there is a liquid you recommend or would like The Vaping Dead to review, please leave me a comment.)
Now, I'm off to finish this half tank of Nicquid's "Pom Beach" and watch Return of the Living Dead. I hope you have a wonderful night, AND............
Happy Vaping!!!!!
