When u/rage-quit pm’ed me to inform about winning the 75£ Vapour depot Mystery box, I didn’t really know what to expect, but boy - oh boy did they come through with the perfect content in the Mystery box. I got in touch with Tony from Vapour Depot ( u/vapourdepot ) and he emailed the following questions to me :
“Hey there!
Congrats on the win! Just so we know we are putting the right things together for your mystery box, we’ve got a few questions for you:
What flavours do you like? What flavours do you hate? Do you prefer tanks to RDAs? Have you used mech mods before? Do you build your own coils or prefer pre-made? What attys do you currently have? What mods do you currently have?
If you can just confirm your address here, that would be great so I've got all the info in one place :)
As soon as we have this info, we’ll start getting your box together for you.”
My reply to him was quite long, because after 3 years vaping, a lot of hardware had been collected and preferential tastes been developed. This is what I replied to Tony friday afternoon :
“Ohoy Tony,
Flavours I like :
Cheesecakes such as Novavapes Solace, which is one of my ADV’s
Licorice type flavours (mix my own here - 5 % menthol-licorice from Bolsjehuset.dk, 4 % Black Mamba licorice from Bolsjehuset.dk, 1.5 % spearmint, and 1.5 % sweet lime, both from Bolsjehuset.dk - steep for about a fortnight, and you have an awesome ADV, with a fresh minty inhale, a salty licorice mid, and a sweet licoricelime exhale. Try it, if you like licorice, plus you never get vapours tongue from it - Umami principle from cooking applies to that mixture, so you in effect resets the tastebuds with each drag).
Fruity-menthol types such as Novavapes Cobra Venom.
Strawberry milkshake types, if they taste of fruit, instead of chemicals (looking at you, chiefmixer of Hangsen chinese “e-juice” - worst purchase ever made because I ran out of E-liquid, while abroad on holiday).
I mentioned Novavapes juices above, as they are the only british juices I have tried sofar.
Flavours I don’t really like : Overly sweet flavours, whether cake, fruit, or candy type. Tobacco type flavours.
I prefer squonkable RDA’s, RDA’s, RTA’s, RDTA’s, and then tanks, in that order. Although I still use my kanger Subtank mini, and Kanger Aerotank Mega, when I want a restricted lung or MTL vape.
Yes, I do use Mech mods, and are fully aware of Ohms Law, building to Mooch’s tested batteryrating limits, and keeping my wraps in excellent condition.
I prefer to build my own coils, mainly using SS316L both in clapton and single wire, according to the vapeexperience I want, on a given atty and mod.
List of current atomizers : Kangertech Subtank Mini Kangertech Aerotank Mega Cigpet Ant tank Griffin 25 RTA EHPro eTank F1 RDTA SteamCrave Aromamizer Supreme RDTA IPV Janus SXPure tank, Ijoy Limitless Classic RDTA Ijoy RDTA 5 Infinite CLT IV RDA Cthulhumods Ceto Mesh RDA Vandy Vapes Mesh RDA Wotofo Serpent BF RDA Kanger SubDrip 160 RDA.
List of current mods : Smoktech SID tube VW/VV Eleaf iStick 100TC Pioneer4You IPV 5 Wismec Noisy Cricket II-25 Wismec Predator 228 (no problems yet, knock on wood...) Laisimo S3 Cigpet Ant Lost Vape Efusion Duo DNA 200 Lost Vape Therion DNA75 VooPoo Alpha One Kangertech DripBox 160 Vandy Vapes Pulse BF Mech mod AnalogBoxmods.ca DNA75C custom 3D printed 2x700 squonkmod (deriative of his 3D printed DNA75C mod, which I am customer no. 1 for the squonk version - just cleared customs here in Denmark today)
The SID and the NC II-25 mainly use for formal occasions, where a discreet appearance is needed. The two Squonk mods are my daily devices at home, respective at work. The analogboxmods squonker will be my formal use device, when I have assembled it.
The Istick 100TC, Cigpet Ant, and the Laisimo S3, are my “HF/FQ” devices - “Help Friends/Family Quit”, which I lend out when friends and family want to try vaping, to see if they can be as succesfull in quitting as I have been (3 years, 2 months, 28 days, 7 hours, 4minutes, and 41 seconds since my last cigarette - but who is counting....) The rest I rotate between, depending on my mood, what I am up to, etc.
If you have any further questions, just ping me on Reddit, email me, or call/text me on +45 xxxxxxxx”
Then the wait began... or so I thought - monday an e-mail arrived with a Royal Mail tracking number. And wednesday morning the package arrived in Copenhagen Airport. Thursday (Damn you swedish owned tardy, slow, lazy Royal danish mail) afternoon the parcel arrived, containing the following items :
1 x GeekVape Aegis 100w mod. 1 x Oumier Wasp Nano (50 % of the ECR u/Passafire Special kit aka the Wasqueeze 😋) 1 x 60 ml Anthology Cookie Dough shake’n’vape 1 x 60 ml Anthology Pear Cider shake’n’vape 2 x 10 ml 18mg 80/20 vg/pg nicotine shots for the above. 1 x 10 ml 3mg V-Juice Blue Moon 1 x 10 ml Novavapes Cobra Venom concentrate (enough for 100 ml juice) 1 x 10 ml Novavapes Solace concentrate (enough for 100 ml juice)
Its clear that Tony really came through with a great collection, based on just 7 questions asked... And by doing some simple checking on vapour depots site, it is also quite clear that their Mystery Box concept really provides good content and real value for money. The 75£ Mystery Box I received, had about 33 % more retail value in it.
Highly recommended, either as a gift for someone, or as a gift for your self, or just because you know that every Mystery Box compiled by Vapour depot, is a better and safer bet than buying a Lotto ticket each week for a month.
Again, thanks to u/rage-quit for organizing (or pestering vendors more likely ;) the giveaways, to Vapour depot and all the other vendors for providing the prizes, and to Tony for really hitting the spot with my prize.
TL;DR Stoptober giveaway Mystery Box from Vapour Depot is awesomesauce, and highly recommended.

Definitely pestering.
But to their own dues, they always accept. (shoutouts for the Solace too, constant ADV)
That is one hell of a mystery box and I'm constantly jealous I can't enter these anymore!
Thanks for the post and the in depth run through!

Don't be jealous, mate. You got the latex live size Helena Christensen blow-up doll... Organize more giveaways and contest, and I promise I will send you a live size latex Renee Toft Simonsen blow-up doll next time you select me as a winner...

You've got a deal if it can be a Tom Selleck one. That mustache just gets me.

Best of both worlds ?

Glad your happy with the haul! Plenty in there to keep you occupied :)

Oh yeah, definitely an excellent and spot-on selection you provided me with. The Aegis has allready stood its first Danish weather test, used it during my after-dinner walk, in heavy rain. And the different juices you selected - The Anthology Cookie Dough is great - up there with Novavapes Solace. The Blue Moon from V-Juice is also something that my palate fancies - Fresh menthol, without overpowering the blueberry. And the Solace and Cobra Venom concentrates from Novavapes has allready been mixed and set to steep.
But the most amazing thing with the Mystery Box you sent me, is the Anthology Pear Cider… Why, you ask ? Just look at this picture, which shows my all day beverage…
Talk about hitting my taste spot on right in the bulls-eye. And yes, if you start selling the Anthology Pear Cider, in that size bottle, you WILL see at least one purchase from me ;)
Outstanding job, Tony. Outstanding.

About that cider thing; is it like Danish Pære cider (which is a soda with alchohol) or is it more like the ciders you get abroad (that are more beer/vine)?
2
All of the above, since there is no alcohol in the Anthology Pear Cider e-juice. The taste is kinda like a cross of the danish Pear Cider 0,8 % alcohol “sodavand”, and a british Autumn harvest pear cider as served in pubs and bars across the UK.
The sparkly tingling sensation and the pear mouthwatering taste are present. If you have tasted the swedish Herrljunga pear cider sodawater, you have the pear taste from there, but with the added tingling sensation on the tongue you get from an orchard brewed british cider. Thats the best way I can describe the Anthology Pear Cider I received from Vapour depot in the Mystery box.
One thing is for certain - I will need to stock up on it before Brexit takes effect - Otherwise I will have to pay import tax and VAT, plus a handling fee of 160 DKR, on any orders above 80 DKR incl. shipping. As long as the UK still is a member of the EU, there is no import tax, danish VAT or handling fee from the postal service.
So, in reality I wasn’t joking about buying the Anthology Pear Cider juice in a 2 liter bottle similar to the Pear Cider soft drink I buy in my local supermarket. Any chance of a special deal, before Brexit takes effect, Tony from u/vapourdepot ??? ;)

That looks like an amazing package! Props to Tony (and Rage of course). The surprise box looks like an awesome deal and they personalized it really well, might have to save so I can treat myself to one over the holidays ;). Pear cider sounds delish, that'd be straight up my alley as well :D.
