Concentrate - 10%
Suggested ratio - 4-6%
Mix -  70 VG
Nic - 4mg
Tested on - Cleito 120 & Voopoo Drag

Ohhhhh - the anticipation (well for me, anyway!) - my first chance to try and review a Stixx - state of the art or another new suit for the Emperor.....?

A fair question would be is a Cleito 120 the right thing to try a potentially delicate NET on? Well, it's pretty much all I use now.....the fleet of "normal" Cleito tanks are now certainly playing second fiddle....

From the first vape, it's a very smooth one. Initially on the inhale I am getting something quite sweet but still fairly subtle. Then I get a nice boozy taste coming through - a dark rum - slightly sweet still and just distinctively "rummy" (rumish?)....this rum flavour stays with me well after the exhale and seems to sit in the middle of my tongue for a good while after.

I'm not really getting the tobacco at the moment.....

I think a pretty good descriptor would be butter-rum sweets or like a fudge. Like the old time Christmas sweets maybe. Although I would say this vape is less artificial than the sweets and infinitely more subtle.

I am seriously intrigued by this one. I like it a lot at the moment.

It's been in steep for pretty much a month....I would have thought some tobacco would have come through by now.

I'm guessing however good the palate is, if you are an ex-smoker a suggested ratio of 4-6% is always going to be ambitious for full on flavour.

Do I end this one by saying I wonder what this would be like with another 5-6% concentrate.............or not?

Put it this way, if you like good quality but subtle flavour then this could be the one for you. Or maybe it's an absolute revelation when vaped MTL?

It certainly has enough for me to be looking forward to trying my Honduran and Nicaraguan efforts in another couple of weeks
