Lamplighter Reviews-Chef's Choice
Post Body

Good evening ladies and gents of Reddit!

Thank you for gathering here again for another installment of my liquid reviews! As busy as my life is right now I love doing these so much that I put every spare minute I can into this.

This time around I was given the opportunity to taste and report my personal thoughts on the entire lineup from Chefs Choice

As a side note, my work schedule has drastically changed now that it's harvest season(im a farmer) so I am doing this review in two parts, each containing six flavors. This is part one of the review, part two will follow as soon as possible!

For this review I used a Griffin 25 RTA with dual 7 wrap claptons, clocking in at .34ohm. Build photo can be found here

One thing that I loved about these juices was how clean and easy they were on coils and wicks. Even after two full tanks they looked pristine like I just wicked it for the first time.

Special Announcement Going forward, I will be changing the name of the reviews I do. I will be using "Lamplighter Reviews".

Special Announcement 2 I will be doing my first ever hardware review in the near future, so stay tuned for that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unicorn Tits

“Banana cream bread” A cross between banana cream pie, and, you guessed it, banana bread. Nice and creamy with a mellow bread finish, the banana really shines through but is not overpowering

 Banana,banana,banana. I absolutely love this flavor. Too many juices out there are either too strong on the banana or too light. This is the perfect balance between the banana cream pie and the spicy almost nutty bread your grandma would make.

On the inhale I get a very nice, creamy banana, reminiscent of a cream pie from an old fashioned diner! The cream pie is quickly chased away by the delightful banana bread on the exhale.

At no point did I feel that one flavor overpowered the other. After the exhale the creamy side of the banana seems to linger around for a few seconds and oddly enough I even get this almost tangy sensation on my tounge. It all ties together so well to create a very different take on a banana concotion!

Overall 9/10 Wick and Coils 10/10

Screech

A delicious concoction of juicy peaches and fresh pineapple blended with a touch of guava

 I seem to be having no problem finding excellent tropical flavors these days. I was excited to try this one because all of it's flavor components are some of my favorites!

On the inhale I get an immediate punch of freshly peeled and sliced pineapple. That signature topical taste and the tang you get as soon as you take the first bite. Following right behind the pineapple on the exhale is a familiar fresh watermelon, no candy notes here at all folks.

To finish it off, silently creeping in behind the watermelon is a juicy fresh peach or possibly nectarine, which stays around and lingers for a few seconds after. I was quite happy with how well these three flavors were separated throughout the tasting, the layering is spot on.  

Overall 10/10 Wick and Coils 10/10

Sup Mang

A sour tropical blend with mango taking the main stage. Blackberry lingers with a hint of pineapple and a touch of lemon, rounding out this blend to make the perfect balance of citrus and sour

 I hadn't read the description of this flavor at all prior to reviewing and for a little bit I thought it was just straight mango, after half a tank or so I could start to notice some other notes swirling around in there. They were familiar but I couldn't get my finger on it,I quickly figured it out once reading the description

On the inhale is a really dominant mango, there's no mistaking it. For a second it reminds me on mango smoothies from McD's as well as a sort of mango candy flavor.

The exhale is where this juice really shines in my opinion. You get a really nice citrus overtone through the entire exhale which comes from the pineapple. I can't really pinpoint the signature pineapple flavor exactly but it's there. To finish it all off, the mango is still present but a delicious ripe/tart blackberry finishes everything off.

I'm really digging the sweet/citrus and tartness to this juice, the only thing I don't prefer is the candy taste that is present now and then but other than that it's great!

Overall 7/10 Wicks and Coils 10/10

Silk Sheets

Coconut cream pie. So silky smooth it’ll remind you of sliding into a nice satin bedspread! The slightest hint of banana lurks in the background to add a delicious depth to this delicate cream pie

 I'll be honest and say I had to let this one steep a bit as I wasn't getting as much flavor out of it as I had expected. I let it sit for about a week or so and by the time I came back around, it was right where I wanted it.

On the inhale there is a very nice, very flavorful creamy coconut taste, the cream in this is right in the middle of too sweet and not sweet enough, it's just right. The coconut taste is what you'd get from the pie filling, it tastes exactly like it, that is what I'm getting right away on the inhale.

In between the inhale and exhale there is a faint, very faint hint of banana, not enough to throw the flavor off but just enough to carry the creamy and sweet taste over to the end note of the exhale.

The exhale tastes like the little coconut bits that you're left chewing at the end of each bite of pie.

I really enjoyed this flavor I think with additional steeping it could come out even better.

Overall 7/10 Wicks and Coils 10/10

Drapple Sauce

A tasteful blend of apples and dragonfruit with a hint of cinnamon & glazed donut. This one is reminiscent of a nice homemade apple sauce showing off it’s dessert side. Unique flavour!

 I love a good apple flavor, maybe it's the Nova Scotian in me but I love anything apple. What I don't care for is cinnamon and that is the only real con I can think of for this flavor. The cinnamon at times is heavy and overpowering. Although, at times I get a nice apple flavor with light cinnamon. The apple flavor to me tastes exactly like the little packages of hot apple cider crystals that you buy from the grocery store and I really enjoy that.

On the inhale I immediately get that hot cider flavor but it's quickly taken over by cinnamon.

On the exhale I get a nice donut type pastry with a sugary sweetness. When the cinnamon is still lingering around it almost tastes like a Cinnamon glazed donut rather than just a plain sugar glaze.

Lovers of cinnamon favors will definitely love this juice but for me, cinnamon is something I only enjoy in very small doses so I personally am not head over heels for this flavor. That being said, all things considered it is s very well made flavor with good complexity and I know there are lots of folks who would "swoon" over this!

Overall 6/10 Wicks and Coils 10/10

Velvet Melons

An intricate blend of melons including honeydew and watermelon supported by an underlying cheesecake note to give it a velvety smooth inhale. The best balance of fresh fruit & dessert  you’ll ever find!

 I've never liked melon flavored juice that has honeydew. No matter what, all i can ever taste is honeydew. I love honeydew melon but for whatever reason my love for the taste does not translate over to vaping.

This flavor for me was all honeydew melon, I personally didn't get any watermelon or any other melon besides the honeydew. I couldn't distinguish the cheesecake anywhere in the exhale, just honeydew from start to finish. This is not saying that this flavor is bad, I just have a weird thing going on when it comes to melon. Compared to some other melon flavors I've had, this one is probably the most tolerable for me as the honeydew is not unbearably intense.

Overall 5/10 Wicks and Coils 10/10
