Morning DIYers! I came in with another decently large review, from River! I intended to drop this one around April-May when you could at least still buy from them on their last day of their liquidation, but mail hell did not helped. I have faith we'll get better times and you can buy it again in a future though!

Still dropping these flavors, because it's the few River Flavors I haven't found any previous review at all. Let's hope it can be handy in a future.

Specs:

Mod: SOB Styled mech mod, 18650 hybrid tube.RTA: Vandy Vape Kylin Mini V2

Coil (Average): SS 316L 26GA, 5 loops, 3.0mm. Aprox. 0.6 ohms. Between 27W and 20W.

All flavors are at a 70% VG 30% PG ratio.

​

Flavor #10: River Cola Freeze, 8%. Tested at 17W.

Steeped for 11 weeks, it totally lost the flavor. Feels a tiny little bit bitter, but nothing more. No cola, no freeze, just a slight "smoked" like flavor with a very weak Wintergreen-like mint. Almost like a slight burnt coil. Double checked. 0/10 Cola, 0/10 freeze, 3/10 smoked flavor.

Steeped for 1 week (7 days exact), the smoked, burnt flavor is actually River's approach to the carbonated part of the cola. VERY different from the Lemon Lime Soda approach of the, well, soda part which it actually feels like a soda. On the inhale, and slightly on the aftertaste you feel a "fresh" tone, like a little mint easier to feel. It smells, BUT DOES NOT TASTE to a Pepsi, closest Cola I could get it close to. On DL/RTL with lots of air, the minty fresh is more predominant. On MTL, it feels more the Pepsi+Red Cola flavor. 5/10 Cola, 2.5/10 Mint, the "Freeze", 1.5/10 Smoked flavor, the carbonated part.

​

Flavor #11: River Blackberry, 8%. Tested around 16W.

Steeped for 11 weeks... there is a really faint and little blackberry you really need to take a big effort on tasting it. Theres a long aftertaste though, half natural, half artificial candy. 2/10 Blackberry, 1/10 Candy.

Steeped for 1 week (7 days exact), the blackberry is still really and quiet but easier to notice. It's a tiny bit less natural and feels more like a candy as well. Interestingly, the sweet part clings more on the throat than on the tongue. Not exactly a throat hit, but it's a unique touch. 4.5/10 Blackberry, 2/10 artificial Candy.

​

Flavor #11: River Marshmallow Crisp, 8%. Tested at 15W.

Steeped for 11 weeks, really good taste to cereal. Specifically Frosted Flakes, with maybe not too much sugar, but it's easily felt. Plenty of milk taste too. 3/10 Corn Flakes, 2/10 Frosted Flakes, 5/10 Milk, 0.5/10 Butter

Steeped for 8 days, the cereal part its a bit more notorious. Milk is still strong. Both cases the aftertaste is not as long as when steeped for longer. The cereal is a bit higher on DL or high airflow, while the milk gets stronger on MTL.

​

Flavor #12: River Cookie Snaps, 8%. Tested at 22W.

Steeped for 11 weeks, the flavor is very faint. Closest I could resemble it is to a very slight, slightly overcooked cake. The flavor profile is a bit tricky but after a while, it could also taste to the cake part that got stuck on the oven mold. A bit dry but not exactly crunchy. Flavor at first hit can go from 2.5/10 overcooked cake to 8/10 baked crust stuck on mold, specially on subsequent puffs.

Steeped for 13 days, the flavor is closer to a cookie than a cake, mostly because you can feel the cake ingredients easier by separate, rather than one, homogenous cake flavor with longer steeping. Still a bit overcooked for the crunchy-like flavor. 6/10 cake, 4/10 milk, 1.5/10 butter.

​

Flavor #13: River Spearmint, 8%. (NOTE! I screwed a bit the 8 days model, it's closer to 60% VG 40% PG)

Steeped for 11 weeks, it's the best Colgate toothpaste flavor you can get. Not too harsh, not too smooth, but still noticeable. Tiny little toothpaste bitterness, and an even smaller, almost non existant throat hit. Doesn't itches like a WS-23 though. 1.5/10 Throat Hit, 0.5/10 bitterness, 5.5/10 mint. 10/10 Whiter Teeth!

Steeped for 8 days (slightly higher PG), there's not a big change, except the mint a bit harder, and a tiny higher throat hit too, that sticks and lingers a bit more on the throat too. Tiny bit more intense flavor but again not a big change. Still no throat hit. Mostly. 6/10 Mint, 0.5/10 bitter, 3/10 throat hit + slight mouth hit. 12/10 whiter teeth with 12 hour protection.

​

Flavor #14: River Cinnamon Roll, 8%.

Steeped for 11 weeks, you'll definitively feel the cinnamon on the very first hit. It goes more moderate and easier on following hits, and has a pleasant aftertaste that lingers for a few seconds.. Has a side flavor of a nice cake, slightly well done/overcooked (not as cookie snap), but definitively no raw cake. I'll rate the cinnamon around 7.5 - 4 - 6 / 10 (First hit - following hits - aftertaste), along with a 4/10 cake. With traces of semi dry milk.

Steeped for 14 days, the cinnamon feels a tiny bit more, more "wet" smooth, and less cake. Aftertaste is gone in a second or less. Still present but not as long. Cinnamon here goes 8.5 - 5 - 4 / 10 and 3.5/10 on cake.

That's all I got for river for now! Hopefully it'll cover some missing flavors I didn't saw before. And again let's cross fingers htey'll be open to the public again. Stay safe all!
