Red Star Vapor, translated as "Red Star Vapor," is the brand of e-liquids being reviewed in this series.
1. Appearance Review
I received a series of four flavors with two nicotine levels, totaling 8 bottles, all with individual cardboard packaging.
The large bottle on the left is 100ml with 3mg nicotine; the small bottle on the right is 30ml with 45mg nicotine.

In summary, there is an official website, but no anti-counterfeiting query.
3. Smoking Review
This smoking review is divided into two parts.
(1) 3mg E-liquid Section
The device used is a single battery box mod, with a Wotofo small waist atomizer, featuring eight-core Clapton wire, 3.0mm diameter, 35 wraps, resistance of 0.35Ω, and power mode set to 50W.
1. Smooth Aged Tobacco
Upon opening, a strong tobacco aroma is immediately noticeable. It vapes smoothly, with rich vapor and a strong tobacco flavor, accompanied by a hint of sweetness. It is not cooling, and the overall experience is reminiscent of cigarettes like Hengda and Ziguangge, with a good restoration. The 3mg nicotine level provides a comfortable throat hit. I am not particularly fond of tobacco e-liquids, but I find this Smooth Aged Tobacco quite pleasant.
2. Frost Dragon
This flavor feels very refreshing; the dragon fruit flavor is not prominent, but there is a hint of cucumber. The sweetness is moderate and not cloying, and the cooling sensation has a slight minty bitterness, providing a smooth throat hit. It is very refreshing and comfortable.
3. Apple Ice
The aroma is strong with apple when burning the cotton, and the apple flavor is noticeable when vaping, although not intense, but there are no other flavors. The sweetness is slightly stronger than the other three, but well-controlled, not cloying, and provides a comfortable throat hit. The cooling sensation is not very strong, making it fresh and comfortable overall.
4. Pazz Pom Ice
I cannot translate this name, so I will leave it in English. "Pom" is an onomatopoeia, like a bang, and "ice" refers to cold. The flavor of this e-liquid feels familiar, similar to a certain fruit e-liquid I tried recently. This Pazz Pom Ice combines raspberry and pomegranate flavors, with a cooling minty sensation. The flavor blends well, with a balanced sweetness and acidity, cool but not harsh, providing a comfortable throat hit.
All four e-liquids produce large and rich vapor, as shown in the image below when burning the cotton.
(2) 45mg E-liquid Section
Next, I will review the same four flavors but with a nicotine level of 45mg. These e-liquids are nicotine salt e-liquids, suitable for the currently popular small devices. To conduct this review, I used several small devices: ShaYu, Brass MT, ORCA SOLO, and Exceed EDGE.
I did not have enough empty pods for all the small devices, so I improvised and used various small devices to experience this high nicotine content of 45mg. Some devices did not have empty pods, but I managed to refill them after the e-liquid was used up. Judging by the milligram content, they should be nicotine salt e-liquids.
Starting the actual vaping, the first flavor is Pazz Pom Ice. The following four images show that I initially intended to use a KFP to vape these four e-liquids, using my homemade dual-core Clapton wire, 2.5mm diameter, 6 wraps, resistance of 0.9Ω. However, after the first puff, I felt dizzy, so I switched to a small device for vaping. Please take a look at the situation with the small bottle; do not use your mouth to vape from the atomizer, as taking too many puffs can make you dizzy.
The first puff confirmed that it is a nicotine salt e-liquid, as the throat hit is very comfortable. This nicotine salt e-liquid blends much better than the ones I mixed myself or some small devices' built-in nicotine e-liquids, as it does not have the nicotine salt taste. Using a small device, the flavor feels lighter, slightly reminiscent of the taste from dripping atomizers. After taking three puffs, I felt a bit dizzy.
Smooth Aged Tobacco
This flavor is best restored on a small device, with a faint sweet tobacco flavor that is closest to the taste from dripping atomizers, smooth and satisfying!
Apple Ice
The flavor is still very light, with a faint fruity aroma. To experience the flavor, I took several puffs and felt a bit dizzy.
Frost Dragon
This flavor feels good, and I can still taste the refreshing and delicate dragon fruit flavor. In fact, I think it resembles cucumber aroma, equally smooth and satisfying.
Overall, the four e-liquids performed well on the four small devices. The flavoring is not strong, and although the taste is quite light due to the high resistance and low power of the small devices, they are very effective in satisfying cravings. However, this e-liquid is very compatible with small devices; it would be perfect if it came in a syringe-style refill bottle.
These four e-liquids have a high nicotine content of 4.5%, so please use them with caution when vaping.
4. Carbon Build-up Review
This is the situation after burning the new coil.
This is the situation after about 10ml, showing almost no carbon build-up.
5. Review Summary
Highlights:
1. Two nicotine levels in the same series, which is a first for me and an innovation, quite good.
2. Clean flavor, no off-flavors, and good restoration.
3. The 3mg e-liquid has rich and dense vapor, while the 45mg provides a smooth throat hit.
Summary:
Having two nicotine levels in the same series is a great innovation. The e-liquid flavors are refreshing and clean, with the low nicotine version producing large and dense vapor, while the high nicotine version offers a smooth throat hit, accurately positioned with distinct features. This is a very good series of e-liquids.
