Despite What You May Think, the Dodo is Far From Extinct


The Dodo: a large extinct flightless bird with a stout bodystumpy wingsa large headand a heavy hooked bill. 
Rhiannon, why on earth are you telling me this?!
Bare with.. you know I'll eventually get to the point 😜. 

Vape Dodo are a TPD, TRPR compliant company that create and produce a line of what currently stands at four nearly five e-liquids. The reason I give you the description of a Dodo is this.. I'm intrigued to know where the company found such a name 🔮. So along with our usual review of cloudy, sauciness, we will be diving into the company's name, where it comes from, and why myself and my trusty partner in crime think they have the whole package 💥 (cliche expressions make me happy).

SO, whats in a name? I don't know why I'm so captivated by the name of this company other than it isn't your average for a vaping company. The company states on their website that it is the Dodo's links with exploration and adventure that gives them the name 😎. I don't know a hell of a lot about Dodos so I did a little research and came up with the following points. 
The dodo had no predators until humans touched down in Mauritius and used them for food. It was completely unchallenged, what a boss! Although they were birds, they couldn't fly, they didn't go anywhere. Finally, the fact they disappeared so quickly made them the poster for protecting animals near extinction. On these three points, whether they know it or not, Vape Dodo is telling me they have no competition, they're here to stay and they plan on being around for a long time 💪. 

Vape Dodo's range of five juice flavours are - Smooth Forbidden Peach Raspberry Moonshine Cast Away Coconut Alpine Berry and Wild Tobacco (although this one is not currently available and is coming soon!). All of which are an 80/20 VG/PG and available in 10mls at either 0, 3 or 6 mg nicotine. 


Warrick actually put these reviews together while i was poorly so congrats on your first review honey 💚! He's used the trusty Juice-O-Meter to show us exactly how he feels about the juice.. So, with that said.. let's jump in!💜

Warrick has tested these liquids dripped onto his Kennedy 24 RDA (fresh cotton for each) powered by his Smok Alien, I have since vaped all of the juices in a  Smok TFV8 on my Wismec Sinuous P80 and agree with his take on Vape Dodo. 💨💨💨


Smooth Forbidden Peach 
JOM Reading: 💜💜💜💜

So, straight in with this actual peach 🍑 of a flavour and Warrick's fave out of all four 🌟! On the smell the exact thing that hits the nose is peach melba yoghurt. You know those six packs of yoghurts your mum always bought with two strawberry, two raspberry and two peach melba? Yeah it's that. I'm glad he's said that to be honest because the websites description of the flavour (which he wasn't privy to until after he wrote the the reviews) is peach and yoghurt. On to the taste and he instantly stated how sweet it was, it turned out to be the sweetest of the four. With plenty of peachy lushness on the palate and the yoghurt not actually tasting like yoghurt but giving it a pleasant cream that cuts the fruity sweetness, there was only one qualm from him and that was the strength. A little more of the flavour would have gotten this one a perfect five on the JOM!

Raspberry Moonshine 
JOM Reading: 💜💜💜💜

Sniff, sniff.. this one hits the nasal passage and again takes us back to a complete childhood classic. Dip Dab lollies, the pink raspberry lolly pop in a packet of sherbet for dipping. 👌The strength of the smell gave him the confidence that, unlike the peach, the flavours would dance a lot more in the mouth. On to the taste and Warrick loved this flavour, he pulled in the flavour of the raspberry straight away but had to sit with it for a while before he could find the words for what he was tasting. He was airing around hints of lemonade in there and then it hit him like a freight train. Booze🍷, delicious, naughty but nice boozy notes that are so unique but at the same time very welcome. So if you're fed up at work (you've been there for 5 minutes and it feels like 5 hours) and all you want is a glass of vino to take the edge off, this might just keep those feelings at bay until you can knock off and get yourself down the best isle in the supermarket. The only reason we don't have the perfect score here? It could be sweeter, without a little more sweetness Warrick states that although he loves it, he couldn't vape on it all day.

Cast Away Coconut 
JOM Reading: 💜💜💜

Oh how excited was Warrick to try this?! 😍 He was looking forward to this one more than any of the others and I feel this might have made him more critical of it because he wanted it to be perfect! So when he did the smell test and his face dropped and his puppy dog eyes met mine with an 'I can't smell coconut' 😕 I could only go from girlfriend to mum and give him the whole 'Give it a chance" treatment. Further sniffing gave him very, very subtle notes of coconut but he picked up a mainly fruity smell.. somewhere between peaches and raspberries. On the taste and he brightened up, the coconut is there, not as strong as initially expected but I think he was thankful that it was there at all. He again picked up on the fruitiness in the juice alongside the coconut and found this to be distracting him from the coconut. So, although Warrick took this juice to work the next day and finished it within a few hours, he would have liked the strength of the coconut to be turned up a notch 👆. Also on those notes, this one is definitely an everyday, won't get bored, kind of vape.

Alpine Berry
JOM Reading: 💜💜💜

Omonomonomonomonommmmmm.. this one was my favourite 😘, BUT, I have given Warrick jurisdiction in this blog post so moving on. Have you ever been to an American/ Canadian style forest with grizzly bears, blue skies, lakes, mountains and pine trees? 🌲 No? Us neither, BUT! This juice takes us there on the smell! Frosty berries and minty pine, this juice is begging to be vaped. So onto the taste and once warmed on the coils and inhaled, the freshness of the juice is a soothing coolness in the mouth; like when you've just brushed your teeth and washed out your mouth with mouthwash. The dominant flavours being fresh mint leaves and a piney flavour with only a hint of berry 🍃. Where this juice lost a couple on the JOM is that Warrick enjoys a certain amount of sweetness in his juices, which is a shame because he feels if the berry flavour was there more the sweetness of them would have cut the forest flavour nicely. 👌


Packaging 

No words.. Just look..





The guys at Vape Dodo really don't need my seal of approval on this packaging but I was never going to write a review for them without tipping my hat this way. Winners of 'Best Booth' and 'Best Packaging' at the 2017 London Vape Show presented by Vapefindr (Kensington Olympia); all I can say is well done and well deserved, it really is phenomenal 👏 . Your attention to detail including the little stories that accompany each flavour on the website show your a company with integrity who actually gives a shit about their product, your customers and not just making money. 👌💕

Overall, the look, smell and taste of these juices are incredible. Warrick has thoroughly enjoyed vaping Dodo's juices and finished them within a week. We look forward to catching you at the Expo! 💋
And thank you to my fave team mate for helping with this one! 



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!
