Well...I think it's high time I got my lazy ass back in the driving seat after my cheeky lil vacay in the Welsh mountains, they say 'no rest for the wicked'...well fuck you cheesy saying coz I got plenty, but like all good things....it came to an al l too early end. But it wasn't all play, there...

I think practically everyone can agree that these days...saying that the vape market is oversaturated...is sugar coating the shit out of it....'sodden'.... is a more apt description. There's a new 'next big thing since the last next big thing but different than any other next/last big thing'...

We've all been there.......you may have partaken in a few too many loudmouth soups the night before, you stumble downstairs in dire need of a caffeine assisted reality check.... You give your face a 10 minute power nap on the kitchen work top while you wait for the coffee to come into being...

Getting back to normal life after such a wonderful few weeks vaycay with my girls has....well....been tricky shall we say.....I knew I had stuff to do....and literally millions (ahem...3 people...maybe 4 including my mother) of adorning fans who were poised with anticipation to see what literal...

Ok......I have a theory... Over the water, many miles away in the 'Vapeville Theme Park'...or....Shenzhen...as it likes to call itself these days....there was a guy...or girl....I'm not sexist....who worked for a well known vape manufacturer..and happened to be a bit of a tearaway, a 'scamp' as...

Embrace indeed, in almost 2 years as a reviewer...only once have I ever reviewed a tube of any description, mech or otherwise, I haven't even used a mech tube regularly in about 4 years, let alone given my opinion on another one..... That nagging voice in the back of my head... Dare...

Today we are going wayyy back, in vaping terms I am talking centuries (almost a whole year), with a device that to all intents and purposes could have been designed by a child. By saying that, I am not saying it's a piece of shit, nor am I saying that designing mods is easy, I am simply saying...

To be fair.....it was always gonna happen eventually, if you keep pushing your luck further and further, someone is gonna get bitch slapped.......OBS got away with it with the Bat mod.....Then Vaptio downright took the piss with the Super Bat and Wall Crawler mods.....boundaries were...

Once again...the backlog gets backlogged even more, you see a light at the end of the tunnel....and it just turns out to be some bastard with a torch..and a pile of vape gear in need of reviewing....yes...I know...cry me a fucking river Pugs, first world problems etc etc Whatevs.....today's...

There's probably a term out there already that describes the kind of guy that although, spent the majority of his childhood reading comic books, is now in his mid forties and still digs the whole superhero 'thang' .....other than 'massive manchild' that is...which is something that I...

Welcome back my cloudy cretinous creatures, back again with another pile of barely legible nonsense, and this time we are looking at something that has been designed by another reviewer......Well......it's been a while, it's also been a while since this thing was released, 4 months.....maybe...

There's something slightly uncomfortable about anything that lavishes itself with congratulations before it even walks through the door. It's always been my view that these things are first presented, and if congratulations are called for and deserved....they are given forthwith ....especially...

Now I understand this feeling all too well.....I have three children myself, and naming them all was one of the most traumatic and long winded challenges I have ever faced, you have to get it right, I mean....this is going to stick with them for their entire life....and on that basis... it's a...

When I was a kid....clowns were funny, you went to see them at a circus, or you hired them for your birthday parties to act like cockwombles and make balloon animals.....it was innocent, harmless fun.....obviously until we kids inevitably turned the balloon animals into massive willies and ran...

Finally...it would appear they may well have run out of Greek mythological deity names for our beloved vape gear....and have instead..... just opted for a 'cover all basis' generalisation....."fuck it!....call it the 'Creator' ...at least then we won't upset anyone!'' ......it's a fair point, in...

Everyone know what a backlog is?....And I'm not talking about the result of eating too much meat and not enough fibre (Poop humour....really?...at your age?....) ...well...I have one, a huge one actually, and I really need to clear that shit (poor choice of words man)....so....no fucking around...

I admit right now, don't judge me, but I do enjoy from time to time..the finer things in life, I work hard for my money, and occasionally I may well pay over the odds for something that is of such a fine quality, that I feel I have earned the right to own it...or eat it....or drink it...or...

Strange happenings are afoot here at Steampugs Headquarters International Team house.....or S.H.I.T. House ....as I like to call it.... I can't explain it... I don't want to understand it.... I pretty much shat my pants several times just reminding myself about it.....like now....for example...

I hate wasps....fucking pointless annoying sick jokes of nature that are basically....nothing more.......than dicks. You see....I have a bad history with the evil little bastards, somewhere...in Waspville...there is a big poster of my face, and on it, in large bold letters..are the...

I'll admit right now, I was more than a little intrigued when I first heard about the items I am presenting to you today...and why?....well when a company brings out a 'thing'.....and 'that' thing tends to be in the top 5 'things' of 2017 ....in almost every vapers 'my favourite thing of last...

Well....it looks like the single battery squonk mod train is not showing any signs of slowing down just yet.....we've got every vape manufacturer in the game scrambling to get a hand on it, in order to get their share of the spoils.... After the mahoosive squonk review I did a couple of months...

img]https://i.imgur.com/jJNl85M.jpg[/img] Chances are.....if you're a vaper who is reading this review....you are already lost....and when I say lost, I don't mean done for....I mean that you are so far down the rabbit hole of this foggy hobby of ours that even if you wanted to....you could...

Regurgitation is ever present in this biz we call vape....biz..?.... we see it constantly especially with the Shenzhen big hitters such as Smok, IJoy etc......a new toy will be released...what feels like.... every few seconds... leaving vapers worldwide bewildered with the overwhelming choice...

Let's be honest.....some people could do with a bit of colour in their lives, a splash of pizazz, a sprinkling of 'whoop' and maybe even in more severe circumstances.....a massive injection of jazzy happy sauce..... hmm...you're quite right......probably should have worded that...

Starting the new year with a bang!.....that's what I was waiting for....a very much anticipated device that was going to cater for a vast plethora of vapers and continue with the all too present need to squonk the remaining three hundred and sixty odd days of this newborn year away in a sweet...

I have a theory.....(oh fuck this should be interesting) ... and that theory is this, basically there are two types of people in the world, those that like to be in total control of everything......and those that don't really give a shit....OK it's a weak ass vague theory...but bare with...at...

It's a funny old word, and I don't know about you but I for one am a bit sick of explaining myself when asked "what's that?" "It's my squonker" "It's your what sorry?" "My squonker".....(awkward silence) "You're just making words up there's no such thing as a fucking squonker" "Fuck you if...

I feel less than fortunate to be old enough to remember the 80's with some clarity...not because it was shit....but because it means I'm really old seeing as I was a teenager for most of it....and the clarity goes murky pretty soon after as my weekly visits to the Hacienda put pay to all but...

'The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist' I absolutely love that movie...and that line...and although I am not a religious person in the slightest I would have to call bullshit on that I'm afraid, because if the big D himself was trying to stay...

Oh good! a 24mm RDA, I haven't read a review on a 24mm RDA for at least...ooh....3 minutes?.... I know that's what you're thinking, and I don't blame you in the slightest, the market is sodden with the things, all trying to be cleverly innovative and all trying to be the next Goon...only with...

Mythological Gods sure do get a lot of airplay in this misty world of ours, and to be perfectly honest I'm surprised this one hasn't come around sooner....I mean he is technically the god of clouds.... And electricity .... Two things ...obviously...we care very much about, doesn't...

Now...I'm generally a happy kinda guy, I like to see the good in most things, so you'd think putting a face on something as inanimate as your vape set up would bring a smile to my face...? you know....it's fun...you could name it...even converse with it if you were ...erm.....lonely...or...

Better late than never as the saying goes, this review was actually supposed to have been done around 2 months ago, I'm not sorry though...and I'll tell you why.... Like most people I instantly fell in love with the pictures that were posted of this heavy duty 'Tonka Toy' mod and it was...

"There's a delivery man outside that seems to be struggling dear"........ You know it's a good day when your vape mail can't be handled by just one man, 'That's weird' ...I thought....'I'm only expecting one mod today' "YOU OK MAN?" ...I shouted confusingly out of the front door... "grumble...

Before I start I should warn you....I am suffering from the mother of all hangovers (still drunk) after celebrating the end of the busiest festival season we have ever done (19 festivals!.... ridiculous! I didn't even know there WAS 19 festivals!) I am a light tech by day and if anyone is...

As per usual when researching a little bit of background info on the manufacturer I am reviewing for I have come away no wiser than when I started....confusion....it would appear...is big business in China.... I've never reviewed anything by Advken before and I'll admit right now...I couldn't...

I'm going to take you back....wayy back....too far back for most of you no doubt....The early 70s to be exact, This was a time before video games, before computers...A time when 3 TV channels was enough and even that...for most of us...was black & white. Entertainment in those days was...

Captains log: Stardate 02092017 - The Steamship Pugleprise remains in orbit whilst investigating the whereabouts of the planet Ijoy's inhabitants - A curious species of designers with behaviour that for the best part appears to be utterly illogical... Nothing new for the Eastern sector of...

Guess what Triade means?.....'A set of three' ...So I'm working with a mod that takes a set of three batteries and has a name that means exactly that......a Mod with a name that actually makes total sense.... I mean this never happens.....wtf am I supposed to do with that??? that's just no fun...

Odd title for a review I know.....nothing new there though.....but still...why ironic?.... Well we are all familiar with the feeling of Dejavu ....sorry...Déjà vu....as the french say, simply meaning 'seen before' ...well...although RDTA's are obviously something we have all seen many times...

'Inspired by' ....... You could go into a car garage and the salesman could walk up to you and try and sell you a red 4 door family saloon by saying it's 'inspired by' Ferrari .... "How is it inspired by Ferrari?" "Well sir.....it's red......" "So you're trying to sell me a car with the...

Hello once more my bakery billowing Brethren's and Sistren's, back again with something that...for all intents and purposes I could literally just show you one picture of and not say a word...and you'd all know what it was, how to use it and how it performs...that would indeed make my life easy...

Following on with the trend of collaborations this time round Digiflavor have teamed up with that Portuguese celebrity that we all know and love.... Erm....no.....I said love....and as respected as Ronaldo is if he designed anything vape related it would probably throw a paddy every five...

Cast your minds back....sayyyy....12 months, You might remember a certain playground handbags at dawn fiasco between two vape big hitters of the time, Limitless and Ijoy.. These were two companies that got into bed with each other over a certain RDTA, Vapor Hub (Limitless) were responsible...

Well....revenge...for one...apparently...not sure what on or who with but the latest offering from Vaporesso sure is angry about something and has 220 vengeful reasons to hate on anything you're brave enough to screw into it's head... No messing about with this one.....we're going straight...

No....I'd never heard of em either Mr Cabbagewank, But it's not the first time a manufacturer I've never heard of has come to me to ask me to write my claptrap about their products....Makes me feel all fluffy inside...also makes me wonder if they actually read my reviews...but still, I have...

So...what are we now....5...maybe 6 years down the line where as the vaping industry can be seen as not 'niche' but 'serious business' ....let's say 5 for the sake of argument, That's 5 years worth of continuously pumping out devices to compete against each other in a vastly over saturated...

The Charon ......The ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead...What's wrong with pleasant names??.....why always dark mythology?....It hardly paints a pretty picture of this...

Let's be honest....most stories could do with the odd dragon thrown in for good measure, maybe not shit...I think there was enough shit in the last review's story....but dragons....I might be able to muster with the help of this months offering on the vape table. No...I'm not reviewing a...

'It's a pink dildo' First time ever that that's sprung into my mind when opening the latest vape offering sent to me for review, I mean I expect this kind of behaviour from Gearbest but I always thought Heavengifts were a tad more respectable... 'oh it's a Mod' ....I thought....way too late as...
