This is my personal review of Mannish Ixcacao. I paid for this juice (as i do with all my juices) and I'm am not affiliated in anyway, shape or form with Manabush or any other company. This is review is totally my own opinion.
Background
After reading bits and pieces about Manabus for a couple of months i decided that it was time to place a small order for 3 10mls samples ready for Christmas 2014. Once my order arrived within a day or 2 i was back on Manabush website ordering more!!!!
I've been vaping for around 3+ years. Year 1 was a bit trial and error, trying to find what juice suited me and what set up worked for me. Year 2 i'd found my holy grail, Boba's Bounty was nearly everything i'd been looking for, rich, subtle, rounded, smooth tobacco based but not 100% tobacco but the problem was it was in bloody America, pain in the arse, also i couldn't get on with it in an RBA. I lolled about for a bit only using Boba's sparingly until i found 1 other juice that i loved that was UK based and liked RBA's. I've gone through Snake oil (awful), House of Liquids (horrific) etc etc. Im really really hard to please but when i find something that's suitable i rave about it. It's cost me a fortune to get to this point but i really can say my quest has come to an end with Manabush....i so want to write Man Bush hahaha.
I've come to the conclusion that fruit flavours are not for me. I wouldn't want to smoke a strawberry so i won't vape one either. Fruit is just not in my flavour profile what so ever, another reason why i like Manabush, their quite honest about what they like and their juices say whats on the tin.

Manabush - IxCaCao 6mgs 50/50
Review
Manabush stated that IxCaCao is " a richly sweet deep satisfying tobacco blend of E-liquid with a Dark/Plain overtone".
As soon as you open the bottle and smell the liquids you can smell the chocolateyness of it all. I don't normally go for this sort of thing but seen as the other juices i've had from them (4) have all been total winners (the best I've ever had actually) i thought whats the worst that can happen so I filled my Rose up and give it a minute or 2 to settle.
1st couple of drags are not the nicest due to new cotton.
Once that new cotton nastiness had subsided the true flavour came out. Good god, it's so smooth, full bodied, rounded, subtle...just what i was expecting but not at the same time. The chocolate is not a nasty sweet tone, its like a bitter 80% cocoa dark chocolate.....but smooth, a strange taste that leaves you wanting more. There's sweetness but not Dairy Milk sweet, its more 1 sugar in coffee to take the edge off kinda sweetness.
All in all, if I'm being honest its not my favourite Manabush juice but it has gone straight into my top 5 juices of all time. Its awesome, it really is, its just this may be an ever so slightly more acquired taste. Its also super moreish, I just can't put it down because you just keep wanting to go back for more and more and with every blast you have you notice more little flavours going on. Its tobacco with a subtle dark chocolate twist, you don't need to ask for much more....well maybe a pint and to watch Die Hard.
Its as much of an all day vape as every other juice in the Manabush range, just that little but more elegant and sophisticated. If IxCaCao was a woman it would be Charlize Theron in a Dior advert where as other in the range are more Charlize Theron in Hancock, a little more playful.
Customer Service
Its no secret that I'm a massive Manabush fan, apart from it is singly the best, most consistent across the range liquids i have ever tried, its the whole service i really like.
I placed my order but got it wrong oops. I emailed them the day after (luckily i ordered on a Saturday night) asking them to change 1 of the juices to IxCaCao and low and behold, Tuesday my juice arrived and not only had they changed the order for me, they gave me a free 10mls sample of Waxahache at my regular strength of 6mgs. Its the attention to detail that i like, the ease and layout of their website. You don't just get a juice off these guys, you get a full service, and to me, for what the liquid cost, there's not many companies that have that.
Hopes this helps someone who wants to try this juice.
