Sun, sea, sand and cocktails.. in wet and windy Blighty?!


Global Hubb: the providers of such delicacies. The Tropix range of e-liquids are a range inspired by warm holidays; forcing the recipient to reminisce about the last well deserved holiday they worked hard all year for, enticing one to dream of the next exotic getaway.
πŸŒžπŸ–πŸŒ΄πŸΈπŸΉ


Tropix e-liquids are a 70/30 vg/pg and are sold as 50ml nic free in a 60ml bottle making room for a nic shot (usual drill with larger bottles since UK law changed). Manufactured in the UK they don't have far to travel to land on British doorsteps! The bottles retail at ₤15.99 on Global Hubb's website and the range consists of.. Pina Colada, Fizzy Pineapple, Coconut Raspberry and Pineapple, Juicy Peach, Blackcurrant and Menthol, Icy Grape, Fizzy Orange, Passionfruit, Fizzy Apple aaaaaand Watermelon and Raspberry.

I have had four of these juices sent out to review SOOOOO... before the return of the Juice-O-Meter aka the trusty JOM, I'd just like to say how beautiful the packaging is 😍. Black bottles, exotic flairs and metallics on the labels make these bottles visually pleasing enough for even a rookie photographer's Instagram post! πŸ™ŒπŸ’•πŸ’‹


I will be testing these both dripped onto my Kennedy 24 RDA (fresh cotton for each) and in my Aspire Cleito Exo Tank so, lets jump into the flavour reviews! Starting with..



Pina Colada
JOM Reading: πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Im starting with the one I was DYING to try first. I tried not to let my premature high expectations get the better of me but i just couldn't help it 😍, so i went into this one wanting it to be the perfect cloudy replica of my favourite cocktail! The smell of this does not disappoint, it is exactly like the exotic cocktail we all know and love, i can't even go any further than that, its all there, creamy coconut, pineapple and rum🍹. So on to taste and reason for a three on the JOM.. on the inhale the flavour is good, pineapple and coconut. On the exhale the flavour is almost blank with only the coconut coming through but it does leave the aftertaste of pina colada in the mouth. Maybe nit picky but it was a strange experience and I'd like more strength from this flavour. Would I buy it again? Definitely!


Coconut Raspberry and Pineapple
JOM Reading: πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

This one has been a favourite for not just me but the rest of my testing team! It has been a go-to flavour for everyone and we cannot get enough of it! When smelling, the coconut and raspberry dominate the fragrance with only a hint of pineapple. In contrast to the smell the taste of the pineapple soars through with the raspberry, leaving the coconut a more subtle taste and the dominant aftertaste. This liquid is Global Hubb's Best SellerπŸ‘ŒπŸ’› and this is completely justified when vaped! It is one of those you will always come back to, especially when you want your wet monday morning invigorated! A solid investment for your juice collection! The only reason it didn't get a perfect JOM reading? Although it was a team fave, it wasn't my personal fave. Nit picky again? Absolutely! 😜


Passionfruit
JOM Reading: πŸ’œπŸ’œ

This one is my little heart breaker πŸ˜©πŸ’” when I really wanted this to be my little star! Its alright, and I'm sure this will be someones perfect go-to vape. But it isn't for me 😞. The smell is beautiful, fresh tropical passionfruit, like when you scoop it out and it's distinct aroma hits you. On to the taste, its strong and full of flavour, perfect with regards to strength πŸ’¨. The flavour itself however, isn't what I was expecting at all 😬. It is there, the sweet flavour of passionfruit. It reminds me of the exotic flavours you get in a can of rubicon, without the tartness of fresh passionfruit. It has a freshness to it also which I love ⛄. But, this pleasant flavour is accompanied by what one can only describe as a floral flavour. Like if you crushed some fresh flowers down into an e-liquid, this is probably what it would taste like 🌸🌷. If you are a fan of rose turkish delight or parma violets then this will definitely be your bag, but for me.. I just can't gel with it at all.


Fizzy Apple
JOM Reading: πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

This little beauty is actually just an "I'll see if this changes the game" choice. It does πŸ™Œ. For me, I hate apple e-juices and have always said it can't be done perfectly 🍏. Currently eating my words washed down with a lungful of the most delicious fresh apple flavour ever!πŸ’šπŸ˜ The smell is sweet and slightly tart like a Granny Smith's apple, the first hit was a complete mouth-gasm, knocked my socks off. Its just like apple tango but crisper. It has that fresh fizzy hit (which we all know i love blah blah yawn πŸ˜‚) and leaves a sweet, comforting (yet still reminiscent of warm summer nights) flavour on the tongue. It collides with my palate so beautifully and has been my ride or die over the last week and it doesn't leave my handbag now! Apple-y, fruity, fizzy perfection. I need a re stock on this one very soon!!
πŸ˜™πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨ 



All the above reviews are my own personal opinions (with some man friend input) so..

Overall I would love to try the rest of this range, I will be continuing my exotic journey with Fizzy Pineapple and Icy Grape for sure. It has so much to offer and I have no doubt everyone would find 'the one' πŸ’– for 2017 from Global Hubb's Tropix line πŸ™Œ. Global Hubb themselves have such a thorough selection of juices and I love how their lines are themed, perfect for any mood, any season, any occasion. Again, a big hats off for the packaging, they really are beautiful and the visual enjoyment only adds to the get away vibes given off by the flavours.

Go check out Global Hubb and find your flavour πŸ’™ and a big shout out and a thank you to Sophie there who sorted me out with these juices, she's been a star ☆.


Anyway.. definitely leave us a comment letting us know what you think. Further reviews from the team and myself will be on the way soon!
