Having only tried Dekang e-juice before my order of Crystal Liquid I was very impressed with the quality of electronic-cigz.com's e-liquid. The liquid stays true to it's name. It is very clear, many of them are as clear as water and others have a slight tan tint, but you can still see through them. The flavours have been great and quite a bit more flavourful than Dekang. The strong flavour is what stands out the most for me. With Dekang the e-liquids are hit or miss, with the same liquid from the same vendor tasting different from different batches. I have tried 3 bottles of Cafe Cappuccino, 2 bottles of Chocolate and 2 bottles of Peppermint Passion and they all taste the same. Overall I am very impressed with Crystal Liquid.
The packaging is very nice. The liquid comes in dark green glass bottles with eyedroppers. Electronic-cigz.com also sells plastic bottles if you want a squeeze bottle for simpler dripping. Sean is also very helpful and responds to e-mails quickly and ships very quickly.
Cafe Cappuccino - 9 out of 10
This is my favourite Crystal Liquid that I have tried thus far. It tastes like a great cappuccino, and has great vapor production for a PG base. In fact all of the Crystal Liquids have very satisfying vapor production. Cafe Cappuccino was my all day vape when I first got it, but after a week or so it starts to get a little sweet. It isn't overly sweet and does not taste like candy at all, but I'm not a fan of the sweet candy tasting e-liquids and I can't vape anything that is remotely sweet for too long. After trying Dekang's Cappuccino which I was not impressed with at all I was very surprised by how great and how close to an actual coffee this e-liquid tastes like. Even though it is not too sweet, it gets a 9 out of 10 just because I can't vape it for days on end.
Gourmet Coffee - 8 out of 10
This is a very strong coffee flavour. If you like coffee flavours, this tastes like a freshly brewed cup o' joe. It has a bit of sweetness, but is not as sweet as cafe cappuccino. I'm going to try mixing this with Cafe Cappucinno to get a 50% PG and 50% VG mix. I also feel the added sweetness of the Cafe Cappuccino with the VG base of Bold Coffee would give an amazing balance of vapor, throat hit and sweetness. I'll update on how I feel about the mix when I add more reviews.
Crisp Apple - 9 out of 10
Although I have only been vaping this one for the last 2 days I have to give my first impressions as it is awesome! It has a very true apple flavour with a nice touch of sweetness. I never thought I would like an apple flavoured e-juice, but this has changed my mind completely. As with most of the crystal liquid's I have tried, the flavour is true to the name and does not taste like candy. For those that like candy flavoured e-liquids, this is not the vape for you. For those that have given up on fruit flavoured e-liquids because many of them taste like candy then give this one a try! It has a full apple flavour with a nice touch of sweetness and I find myself constantly going back to this flavour since opening it up yesterday morning. I am quite surprised by this one as I didn't have high hopes for it, but it truly is a great full flavour.
Peppermint Passion - 8 out of 10
I am not a huge menthol fan, but I really like Peppermint Passion. It doesn't have a really strong mint taste like some menthol flavours, but it is very flavourful and refreshingly smooth. I don't like really strong menthol flavours so this has a perfect balance. It is definitely different than menthol and should not be confused with menthol. It is a true peppermint flavour and it tastes great mixed with Crystal Liquid PG Chocolate!
Chocolate - 7 our of 10
This is a simple chocolate flavour. It is not very sweet, but mixed with Peppermint Passion gives it an amazing sweet after dinner mint flavour. I'd give this an 8 out of 10 mixed with Peppermint Passion, but on it's own it isn't as good. If you're after a chocolate mint type flavour mixing Chocolate with Peppermint Passion tastes exactly like an after dinner chocolate mint.
Crimson Pomegranate - 7 out of 10
This is a very subtle and fairly sweet pomegranate flavour. It is really good after vaping a really strong flavour. Its subtlety may draw some people away from it, but I think it is great after a full day of strong flavoured e-liquids. Other flavours definitely come through with this one, so it's best to vape with a clean atomizer. If you like sweet strong candy fruit flavours you may not like this one, but considering its subtlety and its sweetness I find myself vaping Crimson Pomegrante fairly regularly.
RY#4 - 6.5 out of 10
I was looking forward to this one, but wasn't completely impressed. It doesn't have a very sweet taste that many people look for in RY#4 and although I don't like overly sweet e-liquids it seems like it needs a bit more sweetness added. It has a bit of a stale taste with a hint of sweetness, but luckily the stale taste seems to go away and the sweetness seems to come out more after letting it sit for a couple weeks. I might have to let this one age a little more, as it seems to taste better the more I vape, and I may end up changing my mind on this one. After just trying it again after letting it sit for the last 10 days it is noticeably better. I haven't tried mixing it, but I'd assume mixing it with a bit of a sweeter caramel or vanilla flavour is the kick it would need to be great. This could be a good base for adding flavours as it doesn't have a very strong flavour compard to the rest of Crystal Liquid flavours. If you don't like how sweet the new Dekang RY#4 is this brand of RY#4 might be right up your alley.
Havana Dream - 5 out of 10
This has an extremely strong taste! Unfortunately this taste is simply not for me. It has a very strong full cigar flavour so if you like cigars you may find this one is perfect for you. The flavour is so strong that it takes over atomizers, so don't try vaping anything outside of the tobacco flavoured realm without giving your atomizer a solid clean and dry burn beforehand. I'll have to try mixing this with some other flavours to get some use out of it, but I'll need to use just a hint of Havana Dream or else it will take over whaveter I mix it with. I may try some different mixes and report back when I update this review.
I will come back with more reviews once I have a chance to vape some of the other flavours I have for a bit longer. I find reviews of someones first impression after the first vape right out of the bottle is not a very reliable way to review. I have also really enjoyed Crystal Liquid's VG "Cheeky Peach" and I still haven't found a chance to try out Bold Coffee, Summer Strawberry, Juicy Peach and Cherry love so I will report back!
I strongly recommend electronic-cigz.com Crystal Liquid. The flavours are very full, strong and true to name. Sean is a great guy with excellent customer service and the high quality of the e-juice is very apparent with the appearance and taste. I haven't seen Crystal Liquid mentioned very often on ECF so if you have tried Crystal Liquid I would love to hear your opinions on the flavours you have tried.
