Hello vaping buddies
Today I am broadcasting from the Streatham Ice Arena... Whoa! Sorry - just fell over again!
It took them forever to find me a pair of size UK12/US13 skates and I have to say that they smelled a bit funny as I laced them up, but I am now attempting glide my way around the circuit with the Swedish pomp rock classic "The Final Countdown" blaring out of the underpowered speaker system... Uh-oh! Took a tumble there, the icy moisture of the synthetic ice is soaking through to my underwear.
Clenched in my teeth is a platinum Tornado, primed with the latest caffeinated eJuice from Decadent Vapours - Kola Kicks. I... oh crap! Sorry, took another tumble there. I've ripped my trousers at the knee and I'm bleeding... anyway, where was I? Oh yes, Kola Kicks.
Kola-Kicks is based on the iconic carbonated, sugary, brown-coloured soft drink Coca-Cola, invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton. It was originally an alcoholic beverage, and traded under the name of "Pemberton's French Wine Coca". Pemberton claimed that it was a cure-all, countering everything from morphine addiction to impotence. The recipe was later revised to a non alcoholic formula, but you could still expect 9ml of pure cocaine and 46mg of caffeine in each bottle - Coke adds life!
The... argh! Sorry... ran into the barrier... torn my shirt at the elbow... more blood...
The cocaine ingredient was revised in the early 20th century, so that it only used "spent" leaves - those that had already been used in the clinical extraction of cocaine. To this day the Coca-cola company buys 100 metric tons of dried Peruvian coca leaves each year to produce their product. That my friends is the supposedly secret ingredient.
Whoops... ha ha... spinning across the rink on my arse. I'm okay, but I think I may have scared some of the children, as my blood is turning the ice to a crimson shade. Bonnie Tyler is launching into "Total Eclipse of the Heart", so I'd better pick myself up, dust myself off and get on with this review...
Kola Kicks is the third caffeinated juice from Decadent Vapours. The liquid is a dark amber colour, a little lighter than cola. The first thing that stuck me was "where's the caffeine?" Green Cow and Doppio Espresso come with a label warning about the caffeine content gelling below room temperature and both have a distinct pale cream sludge at the bottom of the bottle. Kola Kicks: no label, no sludge. Did Nick forget to put the caffeine in?
Opening the bottle a strong, and strongly familiar scent hits you - it's Coke!
The taste? It's uncanny! It's just like Coca-cola. Well almost - it's probably a little closer to those little cola bottle candies. Quite how Nick managed to attain this level of sweetness in an atty-friendly juice is quite remarkable.
Despite appearences the caffeine
is there, in the same quantities as it is in Doppio - 2.5%. This Kola has quite a Kick! Unlike the other juices there is no need to disguise the caffeine tang as, in this instance, it is an essential part of the flavour and lends it the kind of authenticity that other cola eJuices lack. It also adds a unique piquancy to the throat hit.
In short this is a high quality, very more-ish all day vape. Kola Kicks - it's the real thing.
I have been asked to leave, my blood is all over the rink, apparently causing a "bio-hazard", and some of the children are crying.
