Up for review is one from Evaperated’s “Faux-Bacco” line: Frost. Promising a hint of tobacco and a prominent spearmint flavour, this juice went into my basket as an experiment. Can I find a juice that most accurately mimics the Craven A Menthol’s that I turned to in the summertime?

Does this vape deliver, or will it be doomed to be mixed with other failed flavours? Read on, dear vapers. Read on.

The Goods:

By the time I worked my way to Frost (I am a slow vaper), my Protank 2, Mini Protank 2, and Igo-W were the stars of my hardware rotation. I almost always test new juices through my Igo running a fresh cotton wick, and from there determine if the juice deserves a spot in a tank.

The long story short with Frost is it never made its way to a tank.

Out of the bottle, Frost smells of leafy vegetation and a touch of mint, as expected. The unexpected is the acrid, sour smell that pervades the room and anything Frost is touches. This is one stinky liquid. To blame may be my overly-developed sense of smell (and not smoking for more than 1.5 years!), but be forewarned.

Frost inhales quite cold, as advertised. In fact, perhaps too cold; combined with a high-PG content, those with soft pink lungs beware – this can hurt. By no means is this a straight lung-inhale juice at 12mg. This can be remedied by changing breathing patterns and fiddling with airholes, but why change habits for this? This is not to say that I do not like menthol/mint flavours, just not this brand of it.

On the exhale, vapers will be greeted by a definite spearmint aftertaste; a crude facsimile of what fresh mint leaves tastes like, similar to a stick of a green pack of Wrigley’s gum. The taste is chemically chlorophyll-laden. Far from my cup of tea. But, if you desperately love the taste of cheap spearmint gum, this could be your flavour.

No hint of tobacco could be found under Frost’s faux-mint assault.

I find the room note to be the same as fresh from the bottle. Not something I wish to perfume any room with.

The Verdict?

This is the first of the juices from Evaperated that I will stamp a definite “Steer clear!” upon. It pains me to do this since Evaperated as a company is a stellar example of a Canadian vendor, but I must tell it as it is.

Rating: 1/5. The bottle has been banished to mix with other lesser juices in hope of a mixology miracle.
