Roper E-Liquid Review

Jun 22, 2022Updated Sep 17, 20263 min readReviews

Roper was quite the hype juice back in the day. When a bottle landed in our office, we had to see what the fuss was about. It is described as a sweet, tart and tangy mix of fruity goodness stuffed into a tube of licorice candy.

One confession before we start: our reviewer hates licorice with a flaming passion. Even so, this juice came as a surprise. This is an archived review. Roper is not sold on our site today, but the notes are still a good guide to candy vapes.

The setup: Roper is a 70/30 blend, and we tried it at 3 mg. We were out of coils for our TFV8 Baby Beast tank, so we tested it on a dripper instead. Dripping is a handy way to sample a new juice anyway, since you only need a few drops at a time and can switch flavors quickly.

Tasting notes

The inhale is a sweet and tangy candy. The exhale is a solid mix of sweet, tangy and tart candy filling. It is hard to pin down exactly what it tastes like, but there is almost a lemony twist to it.

Maybe it had just been a long time since we had eaten licorice, but this did not taste like licorice to us. At most, it is like one of those candy-filled licorice ropes. Mostly, it tastes like a sweet, tart and slightly lemony soft candy.

For a 3 mg juice, the flavor is smooth, with no real harsh throat hit.

The verdict

Overall, Roper is a great juice if you enjoy candy flavors. It is not overly sweet and has a good balance of tart and sweet. If you are a candy lover and come across it, give it a shot. It might end up being your favorite.

We would get another bottle just to try it in a sub-ohm tank, because it is pretty good.

Tips for candy vapes

• Watch your coils. Sweet candy juices can gunk up coils faster than lighter flavors. Keep spares on hand and learn when to change your vape coils.
• Expect some change between devices. A juice can taste a little different on a dripper than in a sub-ohm tank. Start at the low end of your coil’s wattage range and work up. Our guide to sub-ohm vaping explains the basics.
• Give new coils time to soak. Thicker, high-VG blends wick more slowly, so let fresh cotton saturate before your first puff.

Prefer to let someone else find your next candy flavor? In the Zamplebox Club, you can rate notes like candy, sour and lemon, and each month’s box follows your taste. For more sweet picks from that era, see our best candy e-liquid of 2017 awards.

Bottles worth trying

Roper is not in our shop, but these candy flavors share its sweet side.
