8-Bit Elixir / Game Over / 12mg 

WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA! 

SNAKE? SNAKE...? SNAAAAAKE? 

FINISH HIM! 

YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALL DEAD. 

In other words GAME OVER! 

Which it is. It's time to stop making liquids. Honestly. Have you stopped yet? I'm not fucking around here! I know where you bloody live! 

Sorry. I went a bit Jack Bauer there. 

Don't stop (believin). We're all too familiar with the hilariously insulting ways that some games decide to throw it in your face when you fall off a cliff or stand too close to a turtle. But the guys at 8-Bit have taken it a little too far in my opinion. 

They've made a delicious juice that frustrates me to the point of smashing an X Box controller off the wall. 

Why did it have to be this good? There are other juices I still need to try. So much more to say, so much more to give. I'm still young damnit! It's too soon. 

It tastes like Strawberry Jawbreakers by the way, and the flavour not only hits like a beautiful brick wall on the in, but it lingers around the lips and basically begs to be licked. 

If it wasn't toxic I'd drink it. 

I'm off to buy a digital engagement ring. I dare say Sonic has a few spare.

8-Bit Elixir / Health / 12mg 

Since the moment I laid eyes on this brand, I've been positively dying to review it. So with that shameful pun in place, I've chosen to fill up on some Health. 

I've always been a huge fan of RPG gaming. From cards to console, dice to literature. From high fantasy sandbox adventures like the Elder Scrolls series to tabletop dice games like Pathfinder and White Wolf. 

Whether you're just waiting around in Halo, buying medicine in Assassin's Creed or casting spells in Final Fantasy, health is key. 8-Bit know that shit, and they've branded this juice to perfection. It appeals to me on a different level than anything else I've ever seen in the vaping industry. 

Those of you who understand what it feels like to check your watch 10 minutes into a side quest, and realise 4 hours have past, will get where I'm coming from.  

It just makes me a wee bit giddy. 

We're not sick, it's not an addiction and this isn't a phase! 

If you've ever cued for drinks without any idea what you're buying the girl you're with, you've all likely purchased some form of Strawberry & Lime cider. Alternatively, you might just like the taste yourself! Personally I'm a "cheap-lukewarm-house-wet" kinda guy. 

In any case (and I am fully aware of just how absurd this sounds), 8B have produced a 2D version of this flavour. No lingering hint of Lime or initial shock of Strawberry. It's all there, all at once. All brash and cartoony in your face. It's fucking awesome. 

It's what a health potion should taste like. 

Maybe I'm just projecting my own goofiness onto this project, but surely that's the whole point. 

I'm closer to Wigglejavelin than Shakespeare.
