What Can We Expect From The Bad Panda E-Liquid Range?

Five fruity flavours make up the Bad Panda range and these flavours are:

  • Blue Raspberry & Purple Grape
  • Strawberry & Pear
  • Peach, Mango & Passionfruit
  • Citrus Cherry Mint
  • Watermelon & Grape.

A 50/50 VG/PG blend combined with the option of 10mg or 20mg nicotine salt strength makes these an ideal pairing for a pod kit!

Using nicotine salt instead of traditional freebase nicotine means that you can enjoy a strong and quick nicotine hit. The nicotine is absorbed faster in the bloodstream, with a smooth throat hit.

The Bad Panda range is TPD compliant and comes in 10ml bottles.

Vape Club have very kindly sent all five flavours from the Bad Panda range for review, in 10mg nicotine salt strength. As with any e-liquid, taste is subjective, and in my review I will write up my own thoughts on my experiences with each e-liquid.

Your experience may differ, as people have differing palates, preferences on taste and different vaping set ups which can offer a totally different flavour experience.

As these are designed for use in a pod system, I have been vaping these in my Vaporesso XROS Pro with a 0.4ohm mesh coil at 25-30W and in my Uwell Caliburn GK3 with a 0.6ohm coil at 20-25W.

Many thanks to Vape Club for sending the Bad Panda range over for review.

Let’s have a look at what the Bad Panda range has to offer!

Blue Raspberry & Purple Grape

blue-raspberry-purple-grape-bad-panda

Bad Panda says

Blue Raspberry & Purple Grape provides a bold blend of berries. Blue Raspberry delivers sweet and juicy notes that are countered by the dark taste of Purple Grape

We say

This was the first one that I vaped out of the Bad Panda range and we are off to a great start!

I get Blue Raspberry notes on the inhale and I can detect the Purple Grape on the exhale. This gives a really sweet and juicy mouthfeel. I’m not normally a fan of sweet e-liquid, normally preferring desserts, but I couldn’t help but vape more and more of this e-liquid.

I found that the Purple Grape seems to be more noticeable in my Vaporesso XROS Pro, with a lower resistance coil and higher power output seeming to get more out of the Grape flavouring.

Personally I very much enjoyed the blend here, I have not tried too many Blue Raspberry and Purple Grape combinations in my time but these flavours worked really well in combination for me.

Strawberry & Pear

bad-panda-strawberry-pear

Bad Panda says

Strawberry & Pear delivers a simple, yet bold fusion of traditional fruits. A soft-tasting, sweet Strawberry balances the sharper notes of a juicy Pear flavour

We say

There’s a quite good contrast with the Strawberry and Pear flavours present here.

Strawberry gives off a sweet and juicy mouth feel on the inhale, with a sharp and crisp Pear flavour cutting through some of the sweetness provided by the Strawberry. Both the flavours taste authentic and give a good representation of what the fruits themselves taste like.

It’s blended well, I really enjoyed the Strawberry element of this one, just not so much the Pear as I’m not a great fan of Pears!

Peach, Mango & Passionfruit

peach-mango-passionfruit

Bad Panda says

Peach Mango & Passionfruit takes a garden fruit and gives it an exotic twist. A fusion of sweet Peach and Passionfruit merges with the distinct notes of tropical Mango in this juicy- tasting medley.

We say

Peach, Mango & Passionfruit by Bad Panda is an absolutely fantastic vape. I really couldn’t get enough of this one…and neither could my wife either!

I get authentic tasting Peach, Mango and Passionfruit flavours, combining to give off a really exotic mouth feel. The flavours represented the actual fruits themselves. I didn’t get any nasty, artificial taste!

Peach and Mango are the two most predominant flavours, with an undertone of Passionfruit and it doesn’t hold back on the sweetness. It’s a very juicy vape too, absolutely full of flavour.

I took this out with me on a trip away for the weekend and between myself and my wife, the bottle hardly lasted into day 2! Top stuff.

Citrus Cherry Mint

bad-panda-cherry

Bad Panda says

Citrus Cherry Mint layers fruit with a botanical twist. A sweet yet dark Cherry sets the base for juicy-tasting citrus notes to chime in, with a floral finish from mint.

We say

Honestly, I didn’t like this one all that much at first. I found it a bit muted and strange in my Uwell Caliburn GK3.

Undeterred, I gave it another go in the Vaporesso XROS Pro with a 0.4ohm coil and set it to 27.5W.

And that seemed to unlock a sweet spot with this e-liquid!

The Cherry shined through, providing a rich, dark Cherry flavour on the inhale. I picked up a small hint of what tasted like Lemony citrus in the background and this was rounded off with an authentic tasting crisp mint flavour at the end.

It’s quite a strange flavour combination at first, but I actually grew to quite like it over time, especially using the Vaporesso pod system!

Watermelon & Grape

bad-panda-watermelon-grape

Bad Panda says

Watermelon & Grape fuses two distinct fruits. From your first puff, you’ll experience a wave of fruity flavour brought by crisp-tasting, sweet Watermelon and the juicy notes of dark Grape.

We say

I’m always hesitant about trying Watermelon in an e-liquid, as it is one of my least favourite flavours and Watermelon vapes seem to be absolutely proliferating the market at the moment.

And I don’t know many people that genuinely like them! I enjoy the fruit itself, I have just never been able to get on with it as a vape.

Colour me quite shocked to actually enjoy this one. So much so that I was actually happy to have a second tankful of it! I didn’t find the Watermelon to be too offensive or strong, it compliments a nice, rich dark Grape flavour and the two work really well in combination.

Dare I say, that this e-liquid is actually quite mouthwatering!

In fact, this Watermelon hater is quite happy to award this e-liquid the highest score he has awarded yet to an e-liquid containing Watermelon. I’m by no means a convert just yet, but this is a good start!

Final Review Verdict

I was left really impressed with this range of e-liquid and felt that these e-liquids vaped perfectly in the pod kits that I used.

The Bad Panda range isn’t just for pod systems however, I also gave these a go in my Voopoo Drag S2 with a 0.6ohm coil and they were just as good, if not better with that set up! I seemed to get even more out of the fruity notes in these e-liquids when using the Drag S2.

There’s a solid range of five delicious fruity blends here and I enjoyed my time vaping all five of these, they are well blended and packed with flavour. I’ve enjoyed e-liquid from Riot in the past, so I was expecting these to be quite good and I can happily say that they lived up to my expectations.

Even though these are a 50/50 VG/PG combo, not normally known for producing big clouds, the vapour production wasn’t too shabby at all, with quite thick and dense clouds produced even at 20-25W!

My wife was also suitably impressed with them, picking out the Blue Raspberry & Grape as well as the Peach, Mango & Passionfruit for special praise! I’ve got to say that the Peach, Mango & Passionfruit was my pick of the bunch too.

Mix & Match – 4 for £10 !!

Vaping full time since 2012, started on cigalikes for a while then curiosity got the better of me and I moved onto an vape pens, a month or two later I was seeing people walking around with these interesting shiny tubes and I thought 'I gotta get one of those'. Before I knew it a trip down to my local B&M got me my first VW mod, an Innokin SVD, paired with an iClear 30, and I was hooked. Soon after that I was jumping to VW mods both box and tube shaped, before I then made the jump to rebuilding and thus sub ohming, with my first RDA and mech mod. These days I've come back to convenience and mainly use pods, disposables and the VOOPOO Drag H40. Most importantly I am still loving vaping!
