The Mystic line of e-liquids are produced by Royal Vapor, a company operated by Evaporuk based in the UK. For this review I purchased a selection from their tobacco line (not direct from the vendor). I haven’t actually heard much about this vendor on the forums or online – but the reviews I have seen were pretty good which peaked my curiosity on my search for the best the industry has to offer.
For this review i used the Joyetech Delta 23 on an eVic Supreme with all the blends.
Please note: When making a review of vendor products, you usually get an idea after testing a few liquids the quality & dynamic of their production processes. Because of this i choose 5 liquids to review. If a vendor has more than 1 line of e-liquid (such as standard & premium) i will review 5 from each. Any e-liquids that say IN TESTING or AWAITING REVIEW/DELIVERY next to the title will be updated in due time. I like to take my time with a product which is usually a week but sometimes it could be more & sometimes less. These reviews are my own opinions & the score i give each is my own preference score. A rating of 7 for me might be a 10 for you. 10 for me is the perfect vape in flavour complexity, vapour production & throat hit on any & every device i try it on.

RY4 SPECIAL REVIEW: 12mg
Testing Period: 4 Days

Those that know me know that I do like RY4 blends very much & when I taste a RY4 blend I don’t like I make it very clear. Obviously I haven’t tried every single RY4 variation on the market & nobody can say “this vendor does the best” but so far the best RY4 I’ve had the pleasure of vaping resides from a vendor in Cyprus & the worst from a manufacturer/s in China. That being said I was looking forward to this blend quite a bit simply because of the “special” statement at the end of the title. When I opened the bottle the aroma was very distinct, sweet & quite strong – this is definitely a tobacco blend with a slightly thick viscosity to what I usually vape but from what i’ve read this is a 60% VG blend. On inhale there’s a “dark” kentucky type tobacco taste – not heavy & then on the top end the caramel hits you, not a creamy caramel but more like a kind of caramel syrup which isn’t overly sweet & I think the sweetness it does have compliments the blend superbly. I didn’t taste any vanilla which I would have expected from a RY4 blend but I suppose the other variation of RY4 Royal Vapor have would provide that. The flavour was consistent & never degraded the 4 days I was vaping it. On exhale the tobacco taste dissipates & you’re left with the caramel taste in your mouth that also sweetens the aroma of the vapour. Throat hit was surprisingly satisfying for a 60% VG blend which was also consistent each & every time. Vapour production was superb on the Delta! The RY4 Special gets in my top 5 RY4 variations I’ve tried to date & definitely gets a thumbs up. Would I purchase the RY4 Special again? Yes I would – very nice blend & if you’re in to RY4’s like me you won’t be disappointed. Could the RY4 Special be an all day vape? Yes it could – all day! On a scale from 1 to 10 I give this blend an 8 & I’ll also add that so far 1 of the best I’ve tried from a UK vendor – I’m curious to try their RY4 “M” blend.
BABYLON REVIEW: 12mg
Testing Period: 3 Day

Another blend I was looking forward to testing was the Babylon which is a coffee / tobacco blend & I do like coffee blends. Aroma has that strong “fresh” coffee ground smell to it but I couldn’t smell any instances of tobacco but then coffee is good at masking most smells. From the first inhale I absolutely fell in love with this blend which I found had a great complexity & much superior to other coffee/tobacco blends I’ve tried. The first flavour I tasted would be comparable to a slightly sweetened freshly prepared espresso & then high notes of a slight “golden” nuttiness which I couldn’t tell was from the tobacco because again, in flavour all I was getting was coffee but there was something else there which was consistent with every vape. On exhale the coffee taste still comes through but leaves a slight creaminess in the mouth & is 1 of the reasons I think this blend is superb when actually drinking a cappuccino or latte. Throat hit I found to be very mild & even though I prefer blends that provide a kick, the flavour just simply compensates! Vapour production was fantastic & the aroma carried in the vapor was pleasant & fragrant. Would I purchase the Babylon again? Yes I would – best coffee/tobacco blend I’ve tried to date. Could the Babylon be an all day vape? No it couldn’t – not for me anyway! I’d rather use a blend like this when I’m actually drinking a type of coffee to enhance the enjoyment even more. On a scale from 1 to 10 the Babylon gets an 8 & the reason it gets an 8 & not a 10 is because I need to leave the window open just in case another coffee blend “rocks my taste buds”. Well done on this blend!
ROYAL FIVE REVIEW: 12mg
Testing Period: 3 Days
Received: This item was purchased by me
Equipment: Joyetech eVic Supreme, Joyetech Delta 23, Joyetech C3 triple coil atomizer 1.4ohm @ 18 Watts
Recreating an authentic tobacco taste is 1 of the hardest feats an e-liquid manufacturer faces & to date I’ve only ever tasted 1 that I believe is a true representation in both taste & character which you’ll find that blend in another review within this blog. From my understanding that kind of flavour profile is what the Royal Five tries to create & if that’s the case unfortunately it hasn’t accomplished it. What it has accomplished is an incredibly bold & tasty tobacco blend which in my opinion sure beats the taste of a stinking cigarette! On inhale the flavour (to me) is a cross between a virginian & a 555 tobacco (those that like 555 I think will enjoy this). I also get top notes of what tastes a little bit like hazelnuts but only just slightly – definitely nutty though which I love in tobacco blends & the sweetness was only just noticeable. On exhale through the mouth there’s a slight nuttiness which becomes stronger if you exhale through your nose – very yummy. Throat hit was perfect & provides the kind of kick I look for in a vape. Vapour production was just as good as the others & the aroma carried by the vapour was like a caramelized – nutty type aroma, nothing that reminded me of tobacco. Would I purchase the Royal Five again? Maybe but I think this would be perfect for a 555 vaper or those looking for a nuttiness in their tobacco blends. Could the Royal Five be an all day vape? Yes it could – very easily although I did find it a little drying on the throat. On a scale from 1 to 10 the Royal Five gets a 7.
RED PASSION REVIEW: 12mg
Testing Period: 1 day
Received: This item was purchased by me
Equipment: Joyetech eVic Supreme, Joyetech Delta 23, Joyetech C3 triple coil atomizer 1.4ohm @ 15 Watts
The Red Passion from what I’ve read on the vendor’s website is their version of an old, dry american type tobacco blend & truth be told, I really dislike dry tobacco blends! So already I knew the testing wouldn’t go down well with me but what enhanced my pre-negativity was when I opened the bottle because the aroma was (to put it kindly) strange! It had none of the traits I recognize in a tobacco blend like earthy, nutty or woody notes but whatever it was, it was strong. On inhale I found no sweet notes, just an extremely dry tobacco which tasted nothing like it smelt like so I guess that’s a plus. In terms of flavour I would compare it to perique blends or dry, rolling tobacco types & there’s not much else to compare it to – I would definitely recommend this to a new vaper making the switch from analogs because it does retain certain aspects of traditional cigarettes although I just can’t see a long term vaper using the Red Passion as a daily choice. On exhale the flavour & “scent” diminishes which again is a plus for me because I really didn’t like the smell of the liquid. Throat hit provided was robust & consistent which is the main thing I liked about this blend – provides a good kick at the back of the throat. Vapour production was superb & just as good as the others I’ve tested – I also noticed not much of a carrying aroma from within the vapour which again is a plus because I think the scent of the liquid would offend some if clouds of the stuff got blown in to their face – so in a brief summary: a VERY dry tobacco blend that doesn’t taste like it smells – would suit a newbie that wants a no nonsense, straight forward tobacco blend to make the initial switch BUT not a blend for the more “advanced” vaper IMO. Would I purchase the Red Passion again? No I wouldn’t & I think the review explains why. Could this be an all day vape? I just about managed a day testing & I couldn’t vape anymore so for me that’s a big NO. On a scale from 1 to 10 the Red Passion gets a 3. Actually I would recommend to the vendor scrapping this blend completely because I think it just ruins the status of the tobacco line altogether which from the ones I tested I thought were absolutely superb – it’s a shame! Although after reading some of the reviews on the vendor’s website it looks like some people love the stuff…. It’s a strange, old vaping world!
ARRAKIS REVIEW: 12mg
Testing Period: 4 days
Received: This item was purchased by me
Equipment: Joyetech eVic Supreme, Joyetech Delta 23, Joyetech C3 triple coil atomizer 1.4ohm @ 19 Watts
IMO the Arrakis blend is the superstar from the 5 I tested & the most complex blend! I really enjoyed this one & found it to be highly consistent. The aroma is spicy & fragrant comparable to a premium turkish tobacco of which is what it reminded me of on inhale. Spicy on the throat with slight notes of coffee & a nuttiness on the top end then undertones of either a bourbon or top shelf cognac – this really is a gentleman’s vape & absolutely delicious. I’ve only ever experienced a blend like this from 1 other vendor which a review has been posted in this blog. To summarize as easily as possible, the Arrakis is a gourmet, Turkish type fragrant, nutty & spicy tobacco blend with undertones of either bourbon or cognac. Throat hit was spicy & consistent with every inhale & provides the perfect kick IMO. Vapor production was superb with an incredible, pleasant aroma carried within the clouds. Would I purchase the Arrakis again? Yes I would without a doubt, I love blends like this because it goes to show just how pleasurable vaping can be. Could this be an all day vape? Yes & I’m saddened I’ve ran out of the stuff. This IMO is the shining star of the whole tobacco line even though I haven’t tried them all but experience tells me there’s nothing else like this in their arsenal. On a scale from 1 to 10 the Arrakis gets a 10 with a cherry on top – a superb creation!
OVERALL OPINIONS:
From a price to quality standpoint, Royal Vapor have got their game in check because even though I would class their blends as good as – if not better than higher priced “premium” blends, they’re not trying to cash in on their products by selling them at ridiculous prices (like some vendors do), although from what I’ve tasted so far (apart from the Red Passion) even £20 - £22 for 30ml would be worth it. I wouldn’t mind trying some of their other blends for review so – a message to Royal Vapor: get in touch with me (email above).
