Review: I mixed this at 10% as that is the recommended amount using the ejuice calculator. I love root beer and it was one of the first flavours I tried, but that one is discontinued so I thought I would try this one. It wasnt a patch on my first one and I wouldnt use it again. It was very artificial. There is a root beer flavour in there but was something else there too which wasnt so nice.

Having lived my formative years in the USA, I'm crazy for Root Beer! It was my RB craving that first led me to search for US made juice and that's how I stumbled upon Juicy Vapor. I tried a few Root Beer flavours from various suppliers but found them all rather lacking in the creaminess department. While traditional and authentic brewed root beer was made from licorice and ginger root, and there was no creaminess about it, I grew up with the mostly artificially flavoured soda pop type root beer. In the US this inevitably included corn syrup, and I have always thought this use of corn syrup was what lent it a certain fullness of texture, a softer edge, a creamy like quality and a different sensation in your mouth when compared to say coca-cola. This added texture became part and parcel (for me) of an authentic root beer experience. Now you won't get that experience with a straight RB flavour smoke juice, as I found out. But the solution for me was to buy Root Beer Float flavour, meant to mimic RB with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, which added back that creamy edge and for me recreated the taste that I associated with a good RB rather better than a straight up RB flavour. And of course now I swear by Juicy Vapor Root Beer Float. When I'm not on the roto-snadger that is.

I previously used patriot root beer and it was lush, really true root beer flavour, but it is now discontinued and I would buy from that particular shop again Ill try the vanilla trick, sounds good

Yeah I stopped buying from that particular shop long before the fracas because I find the routine of pricing absurdly high followed by heavy discounting to be totally arrogant, patronising and offensive.

Just wish I could find someone else who stocks patriot as I had a few good flavours from there.
