Raina and I checked out three e-liquids from Backwoods Brew — Peach, Honey Flue Tobacco, and Root Beer. One was too sweet for our tastes, one had a great blend of sweetness and tobacco that was great for an all-day vape, and one was a fantastic e-juice with lots of complexity. Backwoods Brew’s packaging is pretty standard — plastic dripper bottles enclosed in a padded envelope — but the juice is definitely high-quality. Here’s a breakdown of the three flavors followed by steeping notes.
Peach: This is a good choice if you like candied peaches. It reminded Raina of the Hello Kitty candy she used to steal as a kid. It reminded me of peaches you’d taste in a peach pie or in peach jam. While it’s a good and tasty juice, Raina and I both prefer natural fruit flavors like the one in Ahlusion’s excellent Poppin’ Peach.
Honey Flue: Raina and I both liked this one a lot. It has a smooth tobacco taste and a great honey sweetness. The honey flavor is definitely noticeable, but it’s not overpowering. Unlike many sweet e-liquids on the market, this one is suitable for an all-day vape.
Root Beer: This was our favorite of the three. BWB’s Root Beer is a real treat that has a true root beer flavor with a great spiciness and lots of complexity. My friend Ted tried this one too and immediately picked up the anise flavor. There’s just a lot going on with this juice and it was a delight to vape. Raina felt that the complexity gave it a nice kick that was perfect for vaping. Both of us highly recommend this juice.
