eJuice Review 24: Osem Tea by Vagabond Vapour

Flavour Profile:

From the Vagabond Vapour website:
“Grab a sweet and spicy cup of tea from the Chai Wallah as he makes the rounds on an overcrowded train slowly making it’s way to Varanasi.
Flavour profile: Spiced Chai tea with cinnamon, ginger and a touch of lemon zest”

Colour:

light tan to mid tan

Scent:

Chai tea / Ginger

Texture:

Full mouth feel with a slight savoury nuance aftertaste.

Steeping:

I vaped this one straight away, but I’d wager that it will only get better with age. Many tea flavours do..

Vapour:

Decent vapour, due to 50/50 doubler mix. It all really depends on your final ratios.

Presentation:

Great presentation, light colour label on a brown glass dropper bottle.

The Review:

I knew this one was going to be an unusual flavour from the start, most tea flavours are. But I really wasn’t expecting how full this flavour would be. It is a really rounded flavour, that fills your mouth and stimulates both sweet and savoury senses.

On first vape, the tea really dominated this juice, which I didn’t mind as I do like a tea flavour from time to time, it seems to cleanse the pallette.
After my senses got used to the tea flavour though, this juice changed, from being primarily tea and ginger, to reveal an almost cereal flavour behind it.
Even now, after picking it up again after a week, it switches from a spicy tea to a cereal vape with nuances of spiced tea behind it. It is as though the tea and the cereal are fighting for dominance, which is quite interesting.

If you’re after something really different, but awesome just the same, you’ve got to try this one.

Test rigs:

REO Grand with Chalice 3 RDA single coil 0.8ohm
Geyscano with Zenith RDA 0.5ohm @ 20W
