Pretty much as per the title - any thoughts/reviews on the Uwell Crown 2 tank, please? Have seen them going cheap on Ebay and understand, like the Iphone, the Crown is up to Version 96 (or close) Also, does anyone know if there is a bubble glass option for the v.2? Have seen option for the 4 & 5. TIA

Interesting....
Same products.
Same fonts.
Same web-design.
Hmmmm - wonder what is going on here?
(After 4 emails and some rather 'acetic' comments when I was asked to review products I'd been chasing for weeks, I finally got them. Appreciate they are/were busy...)

Forgot to say - think the Nautilus 3 is the newest one now - used one for a while (went back to Cleito..) - MTL and restricted DTL - thought it was pretty good.

I've just got the Geekvape Obelisk - is supposed to be the smallest two battery mod - appreciate a bit OTT for a Nautilus or the like but the screen is excellent and it is very light

Concentrate - 20% Mix - 70% VG Nic - 4mg Steep - 2 weeks Kit - Minikin thingie (stuck on 60w as I can never get the touch screen to work) with a v.1 Cleito 0.15ohm Short and sweet? Very different and very nice. Following the "World's worst juice ever" on their strawberry and banana smoothie vomit mix, I must confess I didn't hold out much hope from my second purchase from DK Cooler. However, after paying ten quid for it (bottle shot), it had to be tried. I was wrong to be worried. This is unusual and very, very good. Mint, lime and tea. Not my usual menthol and/or citrus at all. Or not my absolute favorite dark berries. Lime, mint and tea. Why did I buy it? It sounded different - and it is - for many good reasons. On the inhale we get the lime. It is quite dry but very authentic. I could imagine a slice of lime and a bit of rind creeping in. On the exhale we get the garden mint and this is fabulous. None of this spearmint or peppermint (which I really like BTW) but absolutely pukka "pick a sprig of mint from your garden" mint. Very fresh and the flavor is absolutely bang on. It is a DK "Cooler" so then we have an injection of errr "cooler" and again it is very nice. It is "fairly" cold (remember I like WS23 mixed with ice cubes...) definitely not a cryo but the coolant is there. Which makes a nice change. This is fresh, chilly and very, very flavorsome. The mint and lime complement each other well and it is a nice, strong flavor. A very respectable DK "comeback" and a more than solid 8-8.5/10 for me. Hang on a minute. I didn't see anything about the tea? Nope - me neither.....and it is still very, very good

Probably a good old fashioned Nautilus - I think Nautilus 3 is the new version. Coils are easily available. I think the v.3 can be used as a designed MTL but also as a restricted lung hitter if you ever did fancy a change. They are very reliable.

Concentrate - 20% Mix - 70% VG Nic - 4mg Steep - 2 days Kit - Voopoo Alpha & Cleito 120 with 0.15ohm coil @ 63w Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with? Well, yes, many times. But, thankfully, that isn't why we are here  Short and sweet? An absolute delight. Buzzcock is a new addition to the ELFC Punk Juice range with a profile of blackcurrant, orange and citrus with ice. It is absolutely delightful. We are looking at a fruit cordial here - "dilute to taste" as the posh ones would say - and it is a cracker. There is a cooler here but it isn't a blast and even non-ice fans probably wouldn't have an issue with this one. There is a lovely "wet and juicy" feel to this one too. The fruits blend nicely with an instant hit on the inhale of the blackcurrant followed by the orange. It is isn't a desperately authentic fruit version of either - as I said earlier this is definitely cordial - no real sharpness to the orange or any strong acidity just nice "orange" which complements the blackcurrant perfectly. The "citrus" is slightly harder to define. There is something extra fruity - particularly towards the end of the exhale and that is also where the cooler jumps in and sits nicely on the back of the tongue. The mix of the fruits and the smidge of cooler keeps this one interesting. There is a fair bit going on but it is all very complementary to each other. I'm going to stick my neck out and give this a big 9/10 - this one is definitely being added to the longer term rotation. 120ml bottle shot for £5.99 is, as The Duke would say, "as cheap as chips".

Mix - 18.5% Steep - 3 days Nic - 4mg Mix - 70% VG Kit - Voopoo Alpha with Cleito 120 + 0.17ohm coil @ 70w Short and sweet? Fruity, pulpy goodness. Not one to bear a grudge, but I really hope Mr D K Cooler reads this one  Caribbean Queen, Iced Tropicade, Cool Kiss etc etc. The vape world is full of decent fruity and pulpy mixes and of course we all have our favorites. CQ is a great flavor but far too weak for me. CK is very nice but too samey after a while. IT is just really good. So, where does Frozen Eden fit in? For me, certainly in the upper echelons of that list. Kernow have been hit and miss for me. The world's best juice in Black (You know that is true!) and the truly, dreadfully awful but wonderfully named 'Crack'. This, with caveats, is certainly a hit for me. Getting the bad out of the way first (ear plugs in, please) - IT AIN'T FROZEN. As is well established, I love my cold vapes and this ain't cold. At all. Well, maybe a bottle of WS-23 was waived over the top but that's it. However, there is a lot of good here. It is very fruity - excellent mango and lychee and other tropical delights. Soft and sweet (not too sweet) and multiple mash-up of fruity goodness that is put together excellently. Certainly happy to keep chugging on this. Is it better than IT? Probably not - but it would sit proudly alongside it. This one benefits hugely from someone not deciding at the last minute to add anything creative like dog vomit or the like (Yes, that's you Mr D K Cooler...) All a matter of personal choice  A very commendable 8/10 for me.

Concentrate - 20% Nic - 4mg Mix - 70% VG Steep - 3 days Kit - Aegis + Cleito v.1 with 0.5ohm coil @ 61w Short and sweet? Skittles. This offering from ELFC is a prettier version of the old skool skittles mix. The inhale gives us a soft mixed fruit before the exhale ramps up the fruity mix and goes nice and tangy finishing with a lemony-limey blast. The fairly acidic citrus sits in the middle of the tongue after and is long lasting. If like most your packet skittle technique is a handful and then scrunching them up in your gob, this will be very familiar. Another bonus we have here is a distinct lack of sweetness. This is pretty much a fruit vape as fruit vapes should be. Only downer so far is a pretty dry mouth if you tend to chain vape it. Ground breaking? No. Earth shattering? No. Original? Certainly not. However, does that stop it from being a very good cheap and cheerful version of well trodden genre? Definitely not - if you fancy a trip to the old skool on the cheap, then this could be the one. A very respectable 7.65/10. www.eliquidflavourconcentrates.co.uk/mr-bop-dropshot-by-elfc

Perpetua - They certainly do have some sweet going on. As with most commercial juices far too much - I think the thing I was really miffed about was this actually sounded like a fairly simple recipe and one that should have been great...but certainly isn't  Nice pulp fruit - bit of sweet and sour with the strawberry - bit creamier and stronger with the banana - half a gallon of WS-23 (well, for me...) and leave it there.... I think the one that you and Postmodern Smoking described is a strong possibility.

pacman - I've also got their mint and lime tea on the go at the moment - conceptually, it is great again - the lime and mint works well but there is this atrocious and, as yet, indescribably bad after taste which isn't related to lime, tea or mint. Almost like someone saying, let's make a great juice and then add something awful to it to totally wreck it. Very strange...

Mix - 20% concentrate - 70% VG Nic - 4mg Gear - Voopoo Alpha - Cleito v1 with 0.5ohm coil @ 55w Blurb - Ripe banana and sweet strawberry smoothie flavour. Short and sweet? ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! (Yep - this ain't gonna be pleasant....) Just wow. How to take something simple and potentially beautiful and to turn it in to a monumental mess. Right - Let's try to be nice to start with...DK Cooler is the new 'cooled' range from Donut King. OK, enough being nice - back to business. See this from my point of view - a pre-cooled, fruit smoothie. Banana. Strawberry. Pulped up. Cooler. What can go wrong? The 'banana'. They say in the blurb 'ripe banana'. Well, if they meant 30 gallons of fermented yeast or malt, they would be much closer. The only resemblance to 'banana' this absolute abomination contains would be a whiff of a homage to a banana so ripe it has turned black, decayed and was the last snack taken by a T-rex before being dug up by the Natural History Museum. It smells horrible and tastes even worse. It is the only all pervading and disgusting excuse for a flavour that I get with this one. I'm actually even concerned about pouring this one down the sink, lest I get a knock on the door at 3am from a group wearing NBC suits and representing Thames Water. Disappointed? Yes. Irked? Incredibly. Angry? Almost.... This is why no one will ever pay or incentivise me to review stuff - I like telling the truth too much
