Milkshake E-Liquids Review

Jun 22, 2022Updated Sep 17, 20264 min readReviews

Milkshake flavors without the calories? That was the idea behind Milk Shake Liquids, a five-flavor line of dessert vapes built around classic shakes. We first tried it at the Electronic Cigarette Convention (ECC), then sat down with the full line to see how it held up to a picky palate.

This review dates from 2017, and the brand is not sold on our site today. The tasting notes still make a useful guide to milkshake-style vape juice.

The setup: Alien 220W mod with a GOON RDA and Alien coils at 0.22 ohms and 40 watts. Every bottle was 3 mg nicotine.

The five shakes

AppleShake

An apple milkshake is not something most of us have had, but maybe it should be. As big fans of Apple Butter by Liquid State, we think we found a new favorite apple flavor. The inhale tastes like a freshly baked apple, and the exhale is a creamy, milky apple that is a little intense in flavor, though not in throat hit. It is odd, but delicious. Apple and fruit lovers should not be disappointed.

Shammy Shake

This one is a nod to the green mint shakes that appear around St. Patrick’s Day, and we went in with very high expectations. At first we were a little let down, because we wanted more cream. The inhale is minty, just like the real thing, and the exhale brings faint cream and more mint, so it reads closer to a mint chocolate candy. It is still an excellent flavor and one we would buy again, perhaps mixed with a creamy vanilla.

Two tips we picked up afterward: letting the bottle steep for a while brings out much more of the cream, and a hotter vape pushes the mint forward.

Panda Shake

Cookies and cream is our go-to shake, so this one had a lot to live up to. If you like to smell a juice before you vape it, this one smells heavenly. The inhale gives you the chocolate cookie crust, and the exhale delivers the full cookies-and-cream shake. It is more chocolatey than most vapes we have tried, and we would buy it again.

Breezy Shake

The sweetest of the line, and delicious. It is described as a strawberry milkshake, and it tastes just like a fresh one: sweet strawberry on the inhale, strawberries and ice cream on the exhale.

Bananza Shake

The surprise winner. Most banana vape juices taste artificial, like banana candy, but this one tastes exactly like a banana milkshake should, creamy and full of fresh-cut banana. It also made plenty of vapor, even on a dripper. If you have been hunting for a banana flavor that tastes like the fruit, this is the style to look for.

The verdict

ZampleBox members rated Milk Shake Liquids 4.4 stars at the time, and we agree: it is a strong line. Every flavor is a 70/30 VG/PG blend, which suits sub-ohm tanks and RDAs, and none of the 3 mg bottles gave a harsh throat hit. If those numbers are new to you, our guides to PG and VG and nicotine strength explain both.

Our ranking: Bananza Shake first, Shammy Shake a very close second, and Panda Shake last, though it is still a good vape. Want creamy flavors like these in your monthly box? Join the Zamplebox Club and rate cream and milkshake notes high.
