Slap Shots Review: AVE Bark’s Root Beer
Alien Vision
“Bark’s” Root Beer 18 mg/ml 100% VG
http://www.avejuice.com/RootBeer
30 ml = $16.30, about $0.54 per ml
Aroma from bottle = flat root beer. Makes sense. Liquid is clear with a light amber tint.
Devices: Silver Bullet at 3.7v with Phoenix RBA @ 2.0 ohms
I’ve been wandering off on mini-tangents with drink-flavored vapes recently, just to mix it up a bit. Mostly some teas. a couple of 
colas and a coffee or two. At a recent get-together with a few buds from the local vape meet, I was given the chance to purchase a 30ml bottle of AVE’s Bark’s Root Beer from someone who didn’t like root beer. Why he had it to begin with, I dunno — but doesn’t like root beer? Sacrilege! Infidel! Closet Communist! In any event, this is my first root beer vape, and quite a first impression this stuff gives….
Ever since I was a kid, root beer has been my carbonated beverage of choice. Even now, I really dig on downing an ice-cold Barq’s or an IBC straight out of the bottle; there’s nothing that comes as close to liquid perfection in my mind. So why it’s taken this long for me to groove on a root beer juice is beyond me, to be honest. I was kinda hesitant to vape this stuff, though — afraid that if it was rank or nasty it would turn me off the real thing. However, that fear was not only unfounded, ya’ll, but just plain crazy. This juice blew me away on the first blast. Blewed and tattooed, fellow babies….
This tastes just like a really good root beer…at least within the realm of possibility that exists in translating a carbonated beverage into a vape. Almost like an IBC more than Barq’s, though; not too sweet with just the right bite. A good bit better (at least to me) than a root beer hard candy. A nice little tingle on the tongue and an almost fizzy sensation in the nose on exhale. The only thing that would make this perfect is if the vape was ice-cold. Some fine juice-making skills went into this one for sure. I’ve been vaping this most of the night (along with a chilled mug of root beer, of course) and this is bliss. Throat hit is kinda light, especially for 18mg/ml, but it is 100% VG, so that’s to be expected.
Vapor production is amazing; luckily it’s fairly nice here in FLA tonight because I had to open the windows and let the fog out…it was 
getting a little too hazy and I was afraid the smoke detectors might start beeping at me. Screw ‘em if they did — I’d a kept vapin’ on this stuff all night long. And hey…wanna serious treat? Mix about 7 drops of this with 2 drops of iVape.net’s Vanilla and dump it in a Phoenix or Your Dripping Atty of Choice. Holy Jumpin’ Jebus….
Wrap-up: Spot-on root beer taste without the carbonation and the cold; otherwise this is about as real as it gets. Alien Vision isn’t known for putting out schlock juices, and this one is testament to their skillz. Vapor production is out of sight (literally) while TH is light. If you love root beer, you owe it to yourself dig on this one, kiddos.
MAN SLAP YOU GOT JONESING FOR AN IBC ROOT BEER LOL AND SPEAKING OF GOOD ROOT BEER HAVE YOU TRIED JONES ROOT BEER? I LOVE THAT ONE TOO!!!!!
thank you for the great review and i will mos def be placing an order for this !!!!
Thanks for the review. Brought back memories of getting A & W Root Beer floats as a kid. Which now leads to mixing Root Beer flavor with Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and vaping my cravings away.
NICE. I want a root beer float now lol
Oh I soooo love root beer! There is another root beer over at madvapes that is really cheap and is very good as well. The shipping is kinda high but it’s one of the flavors suggested to me when I very first started vaping seriously and truly helped me stay off the killers.
Great review. Thanks for sharing!
Slap, your reviews are always informative, descriptive and never fail to leave me with a smile.
After reading, I swear I can taste the flavor myself. Thanks for the great descriptors.
I got to get some!
Sounds yummy indeed….
Now I want a root beer vape……hmmmm.

Nice review, I love root beer, I’m going to have to get me some
Wonder if anyone has any beer beer juice?
Hey hows the root to wintergreen flavor? I tried one today that was susposed to be rootbeer float but the root flavor overpowered the other flavors like the wintergreen and cream flavor.
oh maxwell heres your beer flavor. http://freedomsmokeusa.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=159
I’v heard nothing but good news about Alien Visions.
Right on Slap!
Sounds delicious. I’m surprised there isn’t much throat hit as root beer is kind of a spicy type of soda.
might try this one though
I love Root Beer, but was unsure of trying it as a vape. This may have just convinced me to give it a whirl. Thanks slap
Thanks for the review slap. I have yet to get into any soda vapes but you make this one sound really good.
all i can say is yummy
Sounds good!
Just got my Boba’s in the mail this morning. Wish I would have picked this up too. It sounds amazing! Thanks for the review.
May have to try out this flav.
@jimpo42: It’s 100% VG, so the throat hit is way mild — but that works for me. I’m not a throat hit kinda person.
good work
Sounds like a real winner. I’m partial to Stewarts root beer, I’ll have to try this out one day.
nice review slap!
sounds great, shoot i only have orange soda here lol
I would love to get some of this from the VFF store and some of that Boba’s Bounty.
just wanted to say this review was the sole reason i placed an order for it a couple days ago can’t wait and thanks Slap for such a detailed review !!!!
Great review Slap. I am one of those Root Beer haters though, guess it’s my Russian genes!
But my Irish hubby loves Root Beer so I’ll have to pick some up for him.
Nice review..as always!
Just ordered root beer flavor from WL. Wishing it was here….
sounds great!
