VAPEMIXR's Juice Rating System
I have created a simple system to rate the juices I test... ok, I may have come up with it in less than 10 minutes, but it hasn't let me down yet. I don't just taste a juice and go "I like it, let me stick that in my top ten...". Instead, I break them down and judge them across several things as detailed below. I score each category out of 10, and then add each category score together to give it a "Grand Total Score". There are 9 categories in total, meaning the highest possible score is 90. No juice has managed to hit a perfect 90 score yet, but my top ten list is built of the top ten highest scoring juices.
Bear in mind that these categories are NOT professionally or scientifically scored - they are entirely subjective and entirely my opinion alone.
| CATEGORY | DESCRIPTION | SCORE |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour Accuracy | How close is the actual taste to the flavour shown on the bottle? Does a watermelon taste like the fruit, or does it taste like something completely different? | 0 = Not even close, 10 = exactly what it says on the bottle |
| Flavour Depth | This measures complexity. Is it a "one-note" flavour, or does it change from inhale to exhale? In the case of multi flavour juice, how well are they balanced? | 0 = Flat / linear badly balanced, 10 = perfectly balanced, multidimensional |
| Throat Hit | How satisfying do I find the throat hit? It is harsh or smooth? | 0 = No throat hit or severly harsh throat hit, 10 = perfect throat hit |
| Mouth Feel | How does the Vapor feel in the mouth? Is it satisfying and flavourful, or weak and thin? | 0 = Weak or thin vapour and mouth feel, 10 = perfectly satisfying |
| Aftertaste | Does the vapour leave an aftertaste? Is it pleasant or horrible? | 0 = leaves a horrible aftertaste or coats the mouth with a strange feeling, 10 = perfectly satisfying aftertaste |
| Cloud Production | Does the vapour make a good cloud? (As I dont use the same device to use each juice, this one is partially dependant on the device) | 0 = No cloud production whatsoever, 10 = clouds for DAYS! |
| Enjoyment | How much did I enjoy using the juice? | 0 = I hated it. 10 = I loved it |
| ADV | ADV - or 'All Day Vape'. Can this flavour be used all day, or is a change needed? | 0 = Could barely stomach using it. 10 = Can be used all day without getting bored of the flavour |
| The Re-Up | How likely am I to buy this juice again? | 0 = Never. Throw it in the bin. 10 = I'm having withdrawal symtoms, I need more NOW! |
