Peach is my favorite fruit in an e-liquid, so Peach Papaya Coconut Cream by Pachamama was always going to end up in my tank. What I wanted to find out was why the name says coconut cream instead of plain coconut. I have reviewed other Pachamama juices before, including Huckleberry Pear Acai and Passionfruit Raspberry Yuzu, and the flavors in those struck me as authentic and clean.
Score: 9 out of 10
I started out doubtful and finished as a fan. The score is a 9 and not a 10 for an odd reason: I was glad the papaya stayed in the background, and I know that is exactly what will let down anyone buying it for papaya. A strong papaya note is not here. The coconut, on the other hand, is forceful enough that the juice lands halfway between fruit and dessert, and a vaper who wants fruit and nothing else may not enjoy that.
Other coconut juices I have tried include S.C.P. eJuice by Nude and Serenity eJuice by Zen Haus. Neither finishes with the milky note this one has. That is what the word cream in the name refers to, and it is hard to appreciate the difference without tasting it. For a peach fan like me, this is among the finest fruit juices I have vaped. There is also a roundup of other coconut flavors on the blog.
Tasting notes
Pachamama’s slogan describes the range as an eclectic mix built from the earth’s most desirable fruits, which has always appealed to me. Papaya is not on my own list: it is one of the few fruits I dislike eating. My track record with the brand has been good enough that I tried the juice anyway, and it now sits among my favorite fruit e-liquids.
The first pull produced a soft, warm cloud. On the exhale the fruit comes through clean and fresh: sweet, juicy peach first, then the warm creaminess of coconut cream. Coconut cream usually turns up in dessert juices to add sweetness and body, and this was my first time meeting it in a fruit blend. It fits the fruit well. Papaya is folded into the peach and coconut so thoroughly that you will hardly notice it unless you go looking. Coconut is stronger on the exhale, and it tastes the way you would picture a tall glass of the real thing.
Breathing the cloud back in is as pleasant as the hit itself. The rich, milky coconut cream is there again, and this is the stage where papaya shows more than it did on the exhale.
The nicotine was satisfying from the start without being harsh or making me cough. Creamy coconut plus sweet peach made me want to chain vape, but that is the fastest way to burn out a coil, so I held back. I ran the juice on a brand new coil. It stayed strong and sweet across several tanks in a row without going flat, and I had nearly emptied the bottle before I sat down to write. The creaminess is something I would expect from a dessert juice, yet it blends naturally with the two fruits. I would recommend it to fruit and dessert vapers alike.
In the tank
The 60mL bottle is slim and fully clear, so both the level and the consistency are easy to see. The liquid is a bright amber, like a light honey, and it is smooth and slick in roughly the way olive oil is. Sweet juices often gunk up coils and scorch the cotton, but this one did not seem to cause that trouble.
The childproof cap came off easily, and the thin fill tip fit my tank’s port. A few seconds of light squeezing filled the tank. Go slowly all the same, because squeezing hard can pop the top off the bottle and leave you with a mess.
I smell every juice before filling to see whether the scent matches the taste. This one smelled rich and sugary, just like gummy peach candies, with a faint creamy edge that I put down to the coconut cream. I could not pick out papaya in the scent at all; it may simply have merged with the peach.
Packaging and label
Pachamama is a subsidiary of Charlie’s Chalk Dust, whose White and Black lines the shop also carries. What sets Pachamama apart is that each juice blends three distinct fruits. This is the fifth Pachamama flavor I have tried, and the subsidiary has seven other e-liquid flavors. Nearly all the ones I have had combine a smooth throat hit with a strong burst of flavor. Pachamama has no e-liquid website of its own, though branded merchandise is sold, and its link leads to an external site.
The bottle arrives in a thin paper box in a soft peach color with a peach pictured on the front. Everything printed on the box is repeated on the label:
- Center: the Pachamama logo at the top, a Charlie’s Chalk Dust logo on each side, the three fruits named in bold type and pictured near the bottom.
- Near the left edge: bottle size (60mL) and nicotine strength (3mg) in small print, plus a double warning banner saying the product contains nicotine and that nicotine is an addictive chemical.
- Right side: sale and age restrictions and a warning to keep the bottle away from children and pets, then the ingredients and manufacturing details, and a black ribbon badge showing the 70/30 VG/PG ratio.
- Left side: health warnings for users, explicit instructions not to swallow the liquid or let it touch your skin, and the Poison Control number in case either happens.
- Base: the expiration date and batch number, stamped on the bottom.
