Updated, Chef’s Series II

Chefs Super Concentrates Single Flavor Tests by SessionDrummer

Thanks out to Leah from Chefs, I’ll be mixing these up shortly, and after some steeping, we’ll get into them. For this second round, I’ll be testing at the same 1.5% that worked out great on the first round, using a SteamCrave RDTA v.1, with dual 24 ga. Kanthal 7 wrap coils. All testing done at 65 watts, in a 70v/30p/3mg carrier. Steeped approx. 1.5 weeks before testing.

SteamCrave Aromamizer Plus V3 Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[1 Lede] Having reviewed the Plus v.2 quite a while ago, I was looking forward to getting into this one, and deep diving into the NEW bottom airflow addition. Thanks out to Amy @SteamCrave for sending this out for the purposes of this review. Despite being a huge SteamCrave fan, you’ll get the straight scoop, my thoughts, some great hi-res pics, and no punches pulled.

Updated with the Vandy Vape B3

Vandy Vape B3 MTL RTA Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[1 Lede] Having almost every previous version of the Berserkers I knew I had to try out the NEW B3 MTL RTA from Vandy Vape. Thanks out to Joyi from Sourcemore for sending this out for review. A collaboration between Vandy Vapes, and Alex from Vapers MD, promised improvements, and enhancements to the previous v.2 design. It may be the v.3, but we’re just going to call it the B3. From the MFG: Check out the Vandy Vape B3 MTL 24mm RTA, featuring a 3mL tank capacity, dual post build deck, a…

Aspire Prestige MIXX Mod Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[2 Lede] Having used many Aspire products over the years, I thought I knew all there was to know about them. Apparently, Aspire UPPED their game while I wasn’t looking with their new Aspire Prestige Line. You may want to check them out as you too, may be out of the loop as to what they’ve been up to lately. Links including Stabwood models below … From the MFG: The newest member of the Aspire Prestige line is here in the MIXX mod. This fantastic collaboration between Aspire & Sunbox deli…

Yacht Vape Eclipse 24mm RTA Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[1 Lede] Having watched @MikeVapes’s vids waaay back when I FIRST started vaping, and liking his style, I was damned curious to see what he and Yacht Vape came up with. As is often the case, this review was NOT sponsored by anyone, except ME, so buckle up. #NoTeamFreeShitToday Designed by Mike Vapes, and manufactured by Yacht Vape, the Eclipse was billed as a “5 Star Flavor Banger”. Let’s just see about that. Yachtvape ECLIPSE 24mm RTA Features: Collaboration Between Yachtvape and Mi…

Duomei Single Flavor Tests by SessionDrummer

Although not specifically for the purposes of this review, I always provide 100% transparency. These appear to be HELLA strong, so I’m working out the percentages now. I think at LEAST a 2 week steep will be required, and testing on the tried and true SteamCrave RDTA v.1, running dual 24 ga. kanthal vertic…

SteamCrave Meson RTA Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[0 Lede] A huge thanks out to King from SteamCrave for sending this out for the purposes of this review. Any time something is billed as “The BEST Single Coil RTA”, and it’s from SteamCrave, I get interested. Let’s get into this one, and see if this Restricted DTL (possibly MTL) is built as it’s billed.

Voltrove 25 v.3 RTA Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[1 Lede] If you’ve never heard of, or decided to purchase a Voltrove, you MIGHT want to read this review. This one is claimed to be a real flavor chucker, AND in either Single, or Dual coil mode, so we will just see about that. Hang on, buckle up, grab a drink, and enjoy the ride !!! Specs: 304 stainless steel construction. 810 Wide bore, shorty Delrin drip tip. Easy to build on postless deck design.

Added FLAVRZ Single Flavors and One Shots …

FLAVRZ Single Flavors Reviewed by SessionDrummer -- Part I

Part I: Darren from https://flavrz.com.au/ hit me up on ELR, and after chatting a bit, he shipped out a big batch of flavors, and one-shots for review. He shipped 80 single flavors, and 11 one-shots, so It’s going to take me some time to bust through these. Having JUST mixed up 40 of them, I can tell you that a lot of them smelled REALLY good in the bottles. I will break them down into at LEAST 2 series, maybe 3 depending. The first series is steeping now, so stay tuned. As always, the f…

Added FLAVRZ Single Flavor Tests Part II.

FLAVRZ Single Flavors Reviewed by SessionDrummer Part II

Part II: In case you haven’t been following the first series, @Jetz was kind enough to send a MASSIVE shipment out of their FLAVRZ flavors, One-Shots, and Flavor Shots for the purposes of this review. He sent SOO many I had to break them down into Series. This is (duh), the Second Series, with MORE to follow. As always, the flavors are/were tested at the listed percentages, in a 70v/30p/3mg carrier base. All tested on my very trusted SteamCrave RDTA v.1 running dual vertical Kanthal 24ga. c…

Guys, James from https://LiquidDIY.com.au went and did it AGAIN !!! I can’t say for sure, but I suspect they moved soo much of the Duomei LAST time, they got some MORE !!!

I know Luke, Hatrick, and I were ALL looking forward to the Vanilla Custard, and Fruit Loops !!! https://www.liquiddiy.com.au/douomei-flavours-duo As always these are VERY hard to come by flavors, so if you ARE interested, hop on over to Diquid DIY and pick yours …

FLAVRZ Flavor-Shots, and One-Shots tested by SessionDrummer

FLAVRZ Flavor Shots !!! [20230722_071240] [20230722_071352] Thanks out to Darren from FLAVRZ for sending these out for the purposes of these reviews. https://flavrz.com.au/product-category/flavor-shot/ There seems, or seemed to be some confusion as to exactly what Flavor-Shots were, and/or how they were different from One-Shots. Basically, a Flavor-Shot from FLAVRZ is a One-Shot, in a BIGGER BOTTLE. Hehe, there you go, mystery solved. This means, if you buy a FLAVRZ One-Shot, YOU provid…

Added the NEW Flavorah Flavor Tests Part III.

NEW Flavorah Flavors Reviewed by SessionDrummer -- TESTING NOW!

Thanks out to @Bryson over at Flavorah for sending out this new pack for review. They all smelled pretty good in the bottles, and I’m anxious to try them. Rather than try and nit-pick each individual flavor for strength (at this point), I decided on a flat 1.0% mix rate for my initial tests. All will be steeped for a least a week, preferably at least 1.5 weeks, but we’ll see how the queue empties. ALL testing will be done at 1.0% (unless otherwise noted), and will be tested in a 70v/30p/3mg …

Updated NEW Medicine Flower.

Medicine Flower Tasting Notes / Single Flavor Tests -- SessionDrummer

A special thanks out to @fiddy, as he had stated numerous times about obtaining the MF Blackberry Vanilla Cobbler, and Summer Peach, REQUIRED a phone call to MF. As always the flavors are tested at the listed percentage, running dual vertical Kanthal 24 ga. coils, KGD cotton. Fresh coils, dry burned with fresh cotton before each test @ 65 watts. Sampled in a 70v/30p/3mg carrier. All steeped 2.5 weeks. [20230923_094510] Blackberry Vanilla Cobbler (Premium) (MF) 1% (10-21-23) – The last t…

Added Yihi SXmini PUREMAX.

Yihi SXmini PUREMAX Reviewed by SessionDrummer

[1. Lede] As a rule, I don’t use, or review PODS and have turned down quite a few request to review them. David from SXmini hit me up, and asked if I was interested, and I was hesitant, until he started explaining some of the features. Buckboost, Temp Control (w./ Dry Hit Protection), and their PURE tech, which oscillated the power rate(s) to allow for better flavor production across the spectrum. Well, now I HAD to try it out, as this did NOT seem like a standard low-tech, throw away Pod. …

[20231207_193710] [20231207_193805] [20231209_194544] Starting this NEW Capella Series out with a big shout out to Allan at Capella Flavors, who actually landed over 7 pounds of flavors before many resellers had received them. In some ways, this review is in large part due to his generosity, super fast shipping. These flavors were sent for the purposes of this review, but as is always the case, if I taste it, you’ll know it. Having had great success with the last CAP release at a testing …

NEW NomNomz Super Concentrates (Super Charged) Reviewed by SessionDrummer -- Mixing Now!

[Snap 2024-01-31 at 19.10.12] Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that NomNomz has RESURRECTED the Super Concentrate line from Chefs, AND, added even MORE flavors to the lineup. More than a few of you tipped me off to them, and thank you very much for that, as I was a HUGE fan of the OG Chefs SC’s. I talked back and forth with Richard from NomNomz, and he was more than kind to send out every flavor from that line, that I had not tested previously. Thanks out to @iLardyboy for g…
