S&Heaven sent me out a bunch of Zeus eliquids to review a while back. Latakia blend ended up at the bottom of the review pile, why you might ask? Well from the bottle it smells like no other juice I’ve tried in 4 years of vaping. I wasn’t sure what to expect, to say I was skeptical I’d enjoy it is an understatement, but it turns out I unwittingly left the best until last.

Latakia is a specialty tobacco that’s named after a Syrian port city, sounds exotic right!? Juice reviewed using the iclear 30b on the MVP 2.0. Steeped for 2 weeks. Zeus Latakia Blend, 60/40 PG VG @ 12mg.

Flavor and Taste

The odor from the bottle is alien like to me, it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It’s light with hint a piquant spiciness and there’s little to no sweetness. I took a gamble and loaded up a full tank after reading up about Latakia tobacco.

If you’re a Latakia tobacco aficionado, please bear in mind that I’ve never smoked the tobacco and so I can’t really compare it to the real thing. From my understanding it’s a very strong tobacco, too strong for most and it’s usually reserved for blending with other tobaccos. The only thing I can verify is that this isn’t really the case with Zeus’ take on it as it’s not an overpowering or complex flavor.

On the inhale it’s surprisingly mild and refreshingly crisp with a dry alkaline taste which is very unassuming. Once you exhale your taste buds are left reveling in a light peppery/spicy bite that’s coupled with the slightest hint of sweetness that dances on the tip of the tongue. It’s only really piquant once exhaled, on the inhale there’s no discernable acidity to it. I don’t think the sweetness can be attributed to the flavor as such but I suspect it’s the 40% VG that’s the source of it.

The flavor is so tough to put in to words, it’s like pines or dried fruit…. something along those lines. It’s a sublime vape and since loading up the tank I haven’t put it down. Is it an all day vape? No question about, I’ve been vaping it for two days straight and I’m still blowing clouds of Latakia as I write this up.

Throat Hit

This one offers the most powerful throat hit from all the Zeus juices I sampled, however if you want a milder vape I suggest lowering the volts and watts and you’ll get a smoother vape. If you’re after a strong throat kick, crank up the settings and you’ll get a scorching and raspy throat hit. It’s really diverse in this respect and it should please vapers on both sides of the throat hit fence.

Vapor Production

Vapor production is great, but a you won’t get huge and thick plumes out of it. It won’t fog up a small room and it’s 100% odorless, as far as I’m concerned it’s the nut juice for stealth vaping. Not too much fog and practically no scent from the vapor.

Device Longevity

It’s so nice to find a tobacco flavor that I really like that’s not a natural tobacco extract. The problem with NETs is that they’re not very convenient as you need to constantly clean, replace or dry burn coils. This is really friendly with coils judging from the 12ml bottle I downed in 3 straight days of solid vaping.

Conclusion

Tobacco vapers take note – this is a juice worth investigating. However, if you’re after a complex and full bodied tobacco blend, then you’re probably not going to be very excited about it, on the other hand if you love tobacco flavors that are light, simple and a great mild all day-vape with a strong throat hit, look no further.

I love my natural tobacco extracts but I hate how they gunk up coils so quickly, I’ve generally found most fake tobaccos to be either bland or just not very tobacco like and so I generally don’t vape them, Latakia blend is the exception, this is because it offers a very unique and interesting tobacco like flavor without the nuisance of having to constantly change or clean coils. Would I order it again? Yup and I did just that mid-way through this review.
