eJuice Review 255: Everest by Alpine Cloud Co.
Today’s review is of a juice from the newish Alpine Cloud Co range. Alpine Cloud Co is a juice line that has been created as a collaboration between two of South Australia’s own juice makers, Morris from VapourEyes and Savvas from Outerworld.
Let’s get on with it shall we!
Today I’ll be reviewing “Everest”!
I did not receive this eliquid from the vendor. It is store bought.
From the website:
If it were summer I’d tell you to head out to the garden and chillax on a sunbed with a tall frosty glass of raspberry lemonade to keep you company, but since it’s winter and bitterly cold, your best bet is to curl up on the couch with a good book and a cute puppy, and let Everest give your taste-buds a relaxing massage.

The Review:
Raspberries are one of my favourite fruits, also one of my favourite fruits to vape. It has a distinct flavour that is sweet with a touch of tartness, and it mixes well with almost anything.
“Everest” is a sweet and fresh raspberry vape with a hint of home-made real lemonade.
The raspberry notes in this flavour are fairly realistic, a little candy-ish, but mostly fruity, sweet and tart like the flesh of the fruit. If you’ve ever eaten a raspberry ice-block (icy-pole) this is the familiar flavour but with a little more tartness.
The lemonade here is not your usual soft drink or soda, more of a home-made lemonade with very light real lemon notes and a little zing from the citrus. So instead of the bubbling and fizzy sweetened lemonade you may expect, it is instead a real lemon, zesty, but mixed down a little as to not overtake the raspberry.
The Alpine Cloud Co range are all high VG mixes, made for cloud chasers, so it’s of little surprise that the flavour intensity is a little on the light side @ 30 – 50 Watts, even on a small chambered atomizer like the Hadaly RDA, but I am finding that the higher in wattage I go, the more flavour comes through.
High VG mix = Up those watts!
On the inhale I notice the raspberry the most, it is not the mature raspberry that it later becomes, but is a great introduction to what is to come. I notice a little bit more tartness than sweetness on the inhale.
The exhale brings forward more of a full bodied raspberry. It becomes a little less realistic and a little more candy like as the vape progresses. The tartness drops off a little on the exhale as some sweetness from the lemonade makes an appearance.
As the lemonade gets stronger it brings with it more body making a sticky sugary and solid raspberry leaving me with a refreshing home made raspberry lemonade!
I have to admit, that I was expecting more of a soda or soft drink style of lemonade here, with it’s thick and sweet finish. Instead, this is more of a candy sweet raspberry with just a hint of lemonade and a bit of a gummy consistency. It is very reminiscent of a raspberry gummy.
A great flavour, and a great first impression of the Alpine Cloud co range! Nice work guys.
