Parisian Vanilla - May 2010

[SmyVapor]

Parisian Vanilla 18mg



I was lucky enough to have a little prior experience with this juice so I had plenty of time to get this one down, yet still has a bit of mystery to me. The scent of this juice has to me an ever so slight vanilla tone to it with kind of an odd hint to it. The juice itself is a very clear yellowish orange.

Im going back to vape #1 to be fair as this was a huge part of this juice to me. My initial thoughts......."Yea there was $30 wasted" as i pondered if dumping it down the sink was a better option than offering it as a trade to someone not wanting someone else to puff on what I just did. Yep that's right, my 1st vape on it was THAT bad. Here's the interesting thing though.... for some unknown reason (mainly trying to see if i could salvage it by adding DV concentrate to it) I picked it back up and vaped on it a few more times. It was still COMPLETELY not for me but the 2nd and 3rd vape wasn't as bad as the 1st. Fast forward to the end of night 1 and after about 15-20 curious and timed out puffs I actually kind of liked it in a way.

As the 2nd day went on I found myself carrying a 5ml with me to drip through the day but a spare atty in my pocket in case I had to change back. That spare atty sat in my pocket from morning until I went to sleep. after 3 days it surprisingly had become my ALL DAY VAPE for the next few weeks.

*CAUTION* this is NOT a vanilla ice cream flavor, this is NOT a candy vanilla, but this IS a nice deep earthy almost natural vanilla bean flavor. It does have this odd floralish hint to it and truth be told I think that's what i hated at first but really what kept me going back to it to try to understand. The complexity of this flavor makes it a hard one to describe but if you are looking for a "not so typical" vanilla flavor that has a stronger flavor than other vanilla juices out there..... give this one a GO!



Compares to: Honestly, nothing I've ever had before. This is it's own beast!

Try this if you like:
Earthy vapes or vanilla flavors but are in need of something off of the beaten path.

Would I buy it myself: Well I did up front and I was HAPPY to have an opportunity to share this one as I think it may be slightly overlooked and under estimated

Parisian Vanilla 18mg May 2010

A light coloured juice that smells of chocolate and vanilla on opening the bottle. Very pleasant but not the strongest of smells.

I used my 510 and 901 with the SD and flavour was great on both. I'm a fan of the regular vanillas so was looking forward to trying this. First impression was of a chocolate taste. A few more vapes and the vanilla really came out to play. Lovely quality vanilla with an earthy, realistic flavour. You really feel like this is a luxury juice far away from the usual artificial flavours.
Silky smooth chocolate and gorgeous vanilla on every drag. I really like this one, more as a treat for me than an all day vape.

It made me think of pipe tobacco and being back in a tobacconists shop browsing the flavoured tobaccos. The exhaled vapour does leave a scent somewhat like a vanilla incense stick, slightly perfume and vanilla tobacco smell. Not enough to overwhelm you like some incense but its definitely there.

Throat hit was about average and so was vapour production, but its not of concern to me. This is definitely all about the flavour. Very luxurious Vanilla, chocolate, and very natural. I loved it.
Would recommend to any e juice connoisseur to try this one, its a high end vape.

This is my third review as a TW Panellist and is of one of the Patriot Range flavours – “Parisian Vanilla” – supplied at 18mg.

The liquid was used in a Mk1 Screwdriver fitted with a TW 901 (4075) atomiser and cartridge. I've been vaping the liquid exclusively for two days...

The Liquid is a fairly pale yellow/gold colour and nicely clear.   The liquid has a pronounced vanilla odour (no surprise there ) with a “soft” perfume element.  Not a “catering” sort of vanilla then – something more at the “vanilla scented candle” end...

So, neat, the liquid smells “pleasant”.

As expected, the liquid flows well and is absorbed very effectively by the cart filler.

When vaped, the liquid tastes strongly of vanilla but with (as with the smell) a definite “scented” tone – I don't get any “wood” in the flavour myself.  Overall a less “creamy” taste than some vanilla liquids.  The after-taste is basically the same with a certain sweetness to it. The flavour stands up to prolonged vaping but can become “a bit much” if vaped heavily.

The liquid leaves the mouth less dry than many liquids but does, like so many other liquids,  leave some stickiness.   More of a daytime vape as it doesn't – in my view - go well with beer, but was nice with a “posh coffee”...

The vapour is good and the hit reasonable for an 18mg juice – stronger on inhale than exhale though.

The vapour has a pleasant vanilla smell to it – and DOES have that “woody element” that was lacking in the flavour.   The vapour elicited no adverse (or positive) comment from bystanders (my wife noticed the vanilla smell – but only when prompted).

I found this liquid “pleasant” - in a slightly unexciting way – perfectly OK, but not one I'd “go out of my way” for.

PARISIAN VANILLA 18mg


My first impressions of this liquid was that it didnt have a smell to it,but after id been vaping for a while i could smell a light aroma of the alcohol drink baileys irish cream,,,and i found this liquid to be an amber colour.

I was using the silver bullet at 3.7v with a regular 510 atty and direct dripping whilst vaping on this liquid.

I was really looking forward to tasting this liquid,mainly because i am into the sweet juices and vanilla type flavours and plus the name makes it sound delicious,,on my first vape i was pretty taken back at how much of an unpleasant taste i was getting,,my first thought was that it had a taste of,,,,well have you ever been walking past someones garden that has those overpowering smelling flowers that dont give off a very appealing scent,( sorry i couldnt for the life of me think what they are called ) ,well that is the odd flavour i was getting mixed with a marzipan kind of aftertaste,,,now after vaping this for a few hours the unpleasant part of the flavour turned into a sweet kind of spicey flavour with a marzipan undertone/aftertaste,but no matter how much i tried to like this one it just wasnt giving me what i would call a nice tasting vape.

this liquid gives off a good amount of vapour with a nice smooth throat hit.

overall this liquid wasnt really my cup of tea so to speak,i did find it easier to vape after a while but there was a flavour in it that didnt do it for me,,i did like the marzipan undertone/aftertaste i was getting and that is what probably kept me going with it,,,,this eliquid flavour was really hard one to describe but if i was going to give it a food description id say it kind of reminds me of the kind of sweets they have over in india or the middle east,( if youve ever tasted them ),,,,,anyways everybodys taste buds are different and im sure people out there will be into this flavour but this one just isnt for me,,,,,,,

all in all a very unusual different kind of vanilla flavoured liquid.

Parisian Vanilla
Patriot Range Parisian Vanilla 18mg. Using a Titan 510 atomiser, with a fresh cart, on the Tornado battery.
This juice is pale orange in colour, and on opening the bottle, it has a slightly chocolaty smell to it.

I've taken my time trying this vape, as it isn't a flavour that I could put my finger on straight away.
I have had and loved vanilla flavoured vapes in the past, including TW Red label and DV's very vanilla. 

Well, I was expecting an overwhelming taste of vanilla, but it really isn't to me.
It's been a tough one to break this one. When I first started with it, I couldn't really taste anything?
There was nothing really there to tantalize the taste buds. Although, the aftertaste is quite  a mild tobacco, which lingers on the tongue for a bit afterwards.  It actually reminds me of a cigarette my uncle used to smoke.  Woodbine's I think?

So, I had a break for a while, and came back to it today. Well, what a difference, I'm still not getting a definite vanilla taste, (not like I got with red label, and DV's very vanilla)  but there is a hint of sweetness, a small amount of vanilla is sneaking  in, almost perfume like on the intake, then a mild tobacco taste on exhale. It  did also leave my mouth quite dry, so  got my daily intake of water with this one.

As I say, it's taken a while to get my head around this flavour, but I've grown to love it.
From not being able to taste much to start with it's actually a juice I would now vape all day. The throat hit is better than I originally thought for an 18mg, especially as I've been used to vaping 24mg, and the vapour is great.  There is a slight aroma with it, but it doesn't linger.

So all in all this juice does have more to offer than I first though, and each time I vape it, I'm getting more of a tobacco flavour. I am really liking it now that  I have given it a couple of days :-).

I keep going around in circles with this flavour, but I will be ordering some more, it's  had me intrigued.  I will have to get another bottle, I think it will be one of the flavours  I  just keep coming back to.
Sorry for this slightly confusing review, it really had me stumped to begin with, but got there in the end.

TW Patriot Range Parisian Vanilla (18mg) May 2010

When I started vaping, many moons ago, vanilla was one of the first flavours I tried – purchased in pre-filled cart form. It was pleasant enough but I can’t recall trying too many vanilla flavoured juices since – although I do have an unopened bottle of DV vanilla ice flavour concentrate to look forward to (which will be a completely different animal I guess).  So, how did I find the Parisian??

Equipment – 510 standard atomiser, fully-charged Tornado battery, direct-drip method. Also: DSE901, new atomiser, fully-charged 180mAh battery, cartridge.

Colour of liquid – Clear light amber

Smell of liquid – Very slight vanilla pod / chocolate?? Borderline odourless.….
 
Flavour / Taste – I direct-dripped using the 510 setup and after a few minutes of getting almost nothing in the taste department, I switched over to the 901 – just to see if there was a difference. Still, I could hardly taste anything and there I was, thinking something along the lines of “hold on, I can’t smell much, I can’t taste much – something’s wrong”. I opened-up my dropper bottles of Absinthe, Habana Reserve and State Express Menthol Mix just to check that I had not lost my sense of smell.    Went back to have a sniff of the Parisian Vanilla – once again, practically nothing.

So, armed with yet another fresh 510 atty (and staying with it for the remainder of the review), I spent the next hour or so, on and off, only on this vanilla juice and nothing else. During that time I began to notice what I can only describe as a floral flavour coming through, especially on a nasal exhale. The density of the vape felt quite thick inside the mouth and in the end I could detect a slightly sweetish creamy almost chocolate taste but, boy, didn’t it take its time? Once it’s there, it’s quite comforting and very smooth …. 6.5/10  

Throat Hit – To be honest, I’m hardly getting any throat hit at all. As I said, it’s quite a thick-tasting vape and that denseness takes-over everything before it gets anywhere near the throat when inhaling. A “throat-tickle” would be a better way of describing it …. 4.5/10

Vapour Content – No real problems here – an acceptable level of vapour is generated as with other juices of this type…....7/10  

In Summary – Having continued to vape this liquid during the evening and then first thing the following morning, the saving grace of this juice is that, because of the smooth taste and very gentle throat sensation, it is fine as an early-morning first vape of the day – along with a nice cup of tea or coffee. However, for me, it’s not one to consider using all day I’m afraid and I just wish that the flavour came through a little quicker right from the start because once it’s there, it’s not too bad. If you’re expecting any kind of resemblance to vanilla ice cream then you’re going to be a tad disappointed. If, however, you’re up for a natural tasting vanilla pod kind of vape, then this one might fit the bill …...6/10

Happy Vaping everyone....

May 2010 Patriot Range Parisian Vanilla 18mg

The color of my sample is a neutral, pale, gold with medium to light opacity.  As far as viscosity I’m guessing they have a higher ratio of glycerin as opposed to the TW Red Label.  A nice amount of glycerin yet still does wick well when using carts; however, for this review I’ll be dripping using a 510 low resistance atomizer and Tornado battery.

The vanilla essence of this juice is a little better than faint in intensity; it’s a charming fragrance. 

Let’s have a vape. 

The first vape was a shocker; I was expecting a sweet rich vanilla.  What I got was pronounced woody, leathery notes that really took me back.  Vivid childhood memories jumped in at that point.  I was a child in the 70’s, for a couple of consecutive years; dad received a bottle of English Leather cologne for Christmas from yours truly.  That’s the closest thing I can liken my initial impression of this flavor to.  I was pretty certain I received a correct sample by the initial aroma of the liquid, so I continued on.

After that initial surprise wore off, I began to pick up on the vanilla flavoring.  It’s inconspicuous and similar to the “French Vanilla” used in flavored coffee creamers.  I think if the roles were reversed and the “French Vanilla” was brought to the forefront and the woody, leathery notes were scaled down this might be up there in my list of favs; however, that’s a what if.   

The throat hit is more than respectable for 18mg; it has a harsh, almost perfume-like quality to it though.  The vapor production is right up there with the others in the Patriot Range, which always makes me smile. 

Parisian Vanilla, has a Vanilla somewhere in there; however, I had to do a little more searching then I would have liked to taste it.

Parisian Vanilla  - May 2010

This is a difficult one.

First Impression - The color is yellow/brown and almost no smell on it. After three day on it Im still not getting the smell of this Parisian Vainilla.

Im using a Mega Titan atty and LR atty with my Tornado and BB for this flavor and direct dripping.

The first try was like, "Hey wtf another TA perfumy flavor." Strong perfume Tobacco flavor was what I get. Almost I set it apart from me. But I decided to give it a second chance. I said why vanilla?, where is the vanilla? Today, three days after Im almost running out of the Parisian Vanilla. Short after the first try the strong tobacco flavor started to slow down and I started to get the very light and sweet vanilla flavor. I switched to the LR atty and I think this ejuice is made for LR attys, perfect sweet vanilla tobacco.

On the vapor production, like the other PR I had tasted is a major vapor producer, over par on the LR attys.

On the TH department there is no TH at all. Instead of TH there is a NoseHit Very good feeling indeed.

Im giving the Parisian Vanilla a very solid 8.5 out of 10.

Parisian Vanilla 18mg

This flavor started off with a distinct taste of Black Pepper and Lemon that I have been finding present in much of the Patriot tobaccos I have tried so far. Once my taste buds adjusted I started to detect Chocolate and Vanilla along with some of the woody tones as described in the website. This flavor has less Vanilla flavor in it then I assumed it would, which confused me as it is called Parisian Vanilla after all. But after sampling it I realized this flavor is actually French Pipe. With that said if your into the French Pipe variety this one should please you. I personally am not a big fan of most of the varieties of this style of flavor I have tried myself. I prefer this sort with some added Vanilla and somewhat enjoy it under those terms.

Hardware Used:         510 Tornado with LR Atomizer, TECC Mini Pipe (801)

Flavor                        Typical French Pipe flavor.

Taste Strength           Average, vapes like Pipe Tobacco should

Throat Hit                   Excellent on the LR atomizer.

Vapor                         Above Average vapor

Overall Impression     A good one to purchase if you are and ex pipe smoker or a lover of the French Pipe variety of vapes.
