Review Colonel Boom's Headshot - A review by Doofry

[Doofry]

This is a personal review of a product I either bought or received free of charge. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of this website, planetofthevapes.co.uk


These reviews will be done using 'starter kit' so new vapers and old can get a good idea on what to expect, but please bear in mind that taste is subjective.


Setup - Kanger T3S and 650mah ego battery.


Product - Colonel Boom's Headshot
Supplied free of charge for review purposes from http://www.plumeblu.co.uk/
£4.50 for 10ml


Throat hit - About average with this one.


Vapour production - A load of vapour, almost on par with a Naval Broadside, nice and thick vapour due to the higher VG content.
60/40 VG/PG 10ml @18mg nic.


Flavour - I have to say, this is amazing, no, superbly amazing!
It is a menthol/lime/peppermint combo, a flavour that reminds me of something i have had before and i cannot quite put my finger on it.
The main thing i get when vaping this, is the lime AND the menthol both at the same time, i would never have put them together myself, and the peppermint is there but just a little taster, and it all works exceptionally well.
I will be honest i am having a problem putting this down, it is moreish and well balanced, cool and limey on the inhale, and slightly more menthol on exhale, the peppermint is there...just, but this doesn't detract, if anything it adds a nice layer.


A superb product that i think will fly off the shelves, the labelling is good too, stylish and almost like an old colonial signage.
All in all, terrific product and a good part of a new range.
Many thanks to PlumeBlu

nice one!!
ive been looking forward to this for a while.....i ordered 20ml from PlumeBlu yesterday....im hoping its good as i have a dislike of menthol, but i said that about aniseed and i love blackpowder

 

[Doofry]

mrteatime the menthol blend in this is amazing, it works more like koolada, the lime is the main flavour, the menthol takes the lime to a whole new level and a little undercurrent of peppermint, i think you will love it, i do!

Doofry, I hope you dont mind, but I will add my review to this thread, as I dont want to clog up the whole of the Juice section with the same type of reviews

This is a personal review of a product I either bought or received free of charge. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of this website, planetofthevapes.co.uk

Taste

I will 'fess up that I had to contact PlumeBlu to find out what was in this juice. I could make out the Menthol, but I thought it had either Wintergreen in it or Eucalyptus. Imagine my surprise when I was advised that it was Peppermint and Lime! OK, on the inhale, I get a subtle Menthol, which gives way to the Peppermint, and suddenly the Lime does comes smashing through the lot, giving you a lovely citrus taste, and on the exhale you get a cool subtle Menthol taste.

What does it smell of?

Olbas Oil....Plain and simple

What does it remind me of?

When I was a kid, my Mother thought it would be a good idea if we were educated to a higher standard, and was introduced to some of the apparently finer things in life, like Theatre, Classical Music and Fine Dining. On one such occasion, I was dragged along to a top restaurant, and had to endure a 5 course meal including Lobster, Artichoke and various other things to this day, that I have never touched again like Mushrooms, and Pigeon. In amongst these courses, we were handed sorbets, and I thought it was a reward for eating this shit. Only afterwards was I told that they were to 'cleanse your palette', and this is exactly where I feel this juice sits. The same as that fateful night, I have vaped several juices today, and by far the best was Headshot. Needless to say after my Mother paid the bill, which even to this day could of bought a street full of houses anywhere north of Birmingham, and both me and my sister advised her that the best parts of the meal were the sorbets, she gave up on us, and back to Pot Noodles and Angel Delight we went

Note(s)

Again I have tried this in a RBA as well as a Clearo, and again, no real difference. I would also like to point out that Menthol & Lime are known tank crackers, but I have not experienced any discolouration or reaction with an iClear 30s. Please though, dont just take my word for it, I would avoid Plastic to be on the safe side. The first person to send me a PM stating that there prized plastic tank has been hit by this liquid, will be tracked down and subjected to a 'golden shower'!

Leigh, another winning juice, and really chuffed that I have experienced these, you should be proud

This is for you: -

Only because I want to 'use you' for your juice

Doofry AndyC1971 - thanks again for the feedback and glad you liked HeadShot too. The intention was to make a menthol that was not 'too' cold as some tend to be but keep it refreshing and zesty. It just so happens that I love Mojito's and this was a good inspiration - all my juices are following a theme, so far of food and/or beverages that I like personally and my next two are keeping with the same theme for now

I think come summer this one will be an excellent refresher on a hot day and I can see myself sat out in the sun, mojito in hand and this in a tank

On the note of tank cracking. I have tried all of my juices in a few different plastic tanks with no ill effects other than BlackPowder which even now is sat in a H2 and has for about 10 days with no trouble. I just KNOW that BlackPowder will affect more susceptible tanks such as the Taifun GT - which seems to crack and haze at the thought of anise or citrus so I warn about it from the outset to save anyone the heartache of a ruined device. Realistically though, as BlackPowder works best through an RBA or dripper it does also mean those trying it are less likely to put it in a clearo with a dirty great plastic warning given. I do still want to try and figure why it is not performing as well in the likes of a Protank at up to 1.8 ohms though.

As you say though, any plastic tanks used are at your own risk, while the other juices have so far not been an issue it is worth using caution.

In any case, your reviews are very nice yet again and I thank you for taking the time to write them up. I am proud so far of what everyone has fed back to me, both publicly and privately and hope I can build a decent range from this starting base.
