We're Back and Coconutty! Coconut Milkshake by The Prestige Vape Malaysia E-Liquid Review

First and foremost, we would like to apologize for our long absence. Things have been hectic in the Malaysian vape scene lately, especially with threats of a total ban on electronic cigarettes, vape stores being raided, smear campaigns on vaping and such, but we are glad things are settling down and it's business as usual.

Our first review after the long layoff is a special one, dedicated to those who are thinking of switching from fruity flavors to creamy ones - but have never done so. 

There are many reasons why vapers are reluctant to try or switch to creamy flavors. Some feel creamy flavors belong on a plate, not in a dripper. Some can't leave fruity, cooling flavors behind. Some just haven't found the right creamy flavor that's worth sticking to. Hopefully, this one will be!

After trying numerous creamy testers, this one really caught our eye (tongue, actually).
Coconut Milkshake by The Prestige Vape Malaysia.


The device we used to test this particular e-liquid is a Dark Horse RDA (regular-sized drip tip, all air holes open) mated to a Joyetech Evic VTC Mini. Coil setup is a conservative dual coil (26ga Kanthal, 9 wraps each) running at 0.5 ohms, fired at 30-35 watts. 

The common complaint about creamy flavors is that some flavors are overwhelming and sometimes even sickening. We popped the cap open and out came a wonderfully light, coconut aroma. From the very first puff, we knew this one is something special. A nice, muted cooling sensation that's missing from most creamy flavors is the first thing we noticed. This certainly helps those who are used to cool, fruity flavors. 

Then there's the coconut. 

Think coconut cookies topped with a healthy dollop of Sangkaya coconut ice-cream. It's that good!



The flavors were smooth, refreshing and leaves just enough aftertaste to not be intrusive. We have not tried this in a tank as we think it'll be just nice as a dessert vape. A couple of hits on a dripper is plenty good. We can really see ourselves vaping this for a long time to come. 

The results does justice to the name coconut milkshake. While you wouldn't mistake this for Klebang's Famous Coconut Shake, it does deserve similar amounts of fame. We are guessing this doesn't have quite the extensive reseller coverage just yet, but you can check out The Prestige Vape Malaysia's Facebook page here for the list of resellers.

If The Prestige or other e-liquid brewers / distributors would like to send some flavors to us freeloaders for reviews and shout-outs, please contact us at vapereviews.my@gmail.com

Verdict:
Primary Flavors: Coconut (of course!)
Flavor: 8/10 (Light and refreshing)
Vapor Production: 7/10
Throat Hit: 5/10 (6mg)
Cooling Effect: 5/10 (just right for a creamy flavor)
