As mentioned in other reviews, an accurate depiction of an after eight mint. Not sickly, well balanced. A delicious dessert vape I could use all day. Five pawns really has proven itself to be top shelf premium liquids. Highly recommend
By Steffi from Surrey
As others have said, that’s exactly what it tastes like. A lovely dessert flavour and after a few years I’m back to this quality range that Vape Club stock. Flavour really comes out on my Innokin Endura 0.9 mesh coil although unfortunate leakage at the beginning which sometimes happens with new coils and tanks:(

Love this after eights but better, possibly my favourite vape juice! Expensive yes tasty yes worth it yes!
When it’s treat time bowdens mate is the the juice! Too expensive for a regular daily vape but always have a bottle around to treat myself!!
By Melanie from UK
Lovely juice. I baulked at first to get it due to the price but it's worth every penny. Nice rich flavour with great depth, nothing artificial tasting. Have just ordered another bottle and will try the shortfill soon.
By Gingerguy85 from Shetland
Definitely taste the chocolate and the mint (win win) didn't pick up in the vanilla much. But as a treat in the evenings it's well worth the money
By RSH from UK
Rich dark chocolate mixed with French vanilla and perfectly balanced with peppermint, to make a thoroughly decadent treat well worth the price, and one of my absolute favourites.
By RachelH from Yorkshire
This juice has really become one of my favourite ADVs! Absolutely chocolatey minty treat with strong vanilla notes. It's really strong but smooth flavour wise, but anyone who likes minty juices should love this.
By FiveThou from Leics.
This is an excellent adv. A great balance of indulgent and refreshing. It's very satisfying, and never gets old.
Didn't think much of it at first, but it quickly grew on me. It's become my standard go-to for menthol/mint juices.
By JoJoeBat from Carmarthenshire
One of my favourites. Smooth on the inhale with a nice minty kick to finish. Love this juice .
By Ketty from Suffolk Coast
A really smooth juice the chocolate and mint are spot on. A bit more than I would like to pay but sometimes you need a treat.
By Rachel
I'm so glad I decided to try this. It costs a little more than I would usually pay for my liquids, but it's so worth the extra expense. The taste is beautiful, the balance between the chocolate and mint is spot on, neither flavours are too over powering. I love it and will be buying it again.

Boden's Mate is top quality e-juice and tastes fantastic. Works well in 6mg nic for me and I've not smoked since last year so worth every penny. Mixed 1ml Boden's Mate with Risen Enriched 1ml (in a 2ml tank) is superb and highly recommended. A wallet basher sure but better than spending it on actual tobacco any day of the week. Next day delivery from Vape Club. All good and feeling healthier for it.
By Giddy from Suffolk
Wow really nice vape, refreshing mint and velvety chocolate with a hint of vanilla on the exhale. Very smooth all day vape not too sweet not too minty.
By Jim from Devon
So, a relatively new vaper, I've been looking for the perfect e liquid that just was perfect from first drag. I've bought over 20 different liquids over the past few weeks and yet to find a single one that's really properly made me sit up and notice. Well, this is it.
Mint and choc flavours are predominant, with the barest hint of vanilla. But I could use this all day long. I'll be getting more, many more.
By Tara from Belfast
I am new to vaping in a bid to get rid of those nasty few social cigs that still have me. I have tried many different kits and many different types of juice and nothing really suited me.......Until now! Bowden's Mate is smooth chocolate flavour, not too over-powering with a cool little menthol hit right at the end which stays with you for a while.
I have just bought the Eleaf mini starter kit along with this juice and I think I have finally found the perfect combo.
Highly recommend.
By Nirav from London
OK, so, I'm going to take price out of the equation here as this eJuice is expensive @ £25 for 30ml.
I just got my first bottle of this today from Vape Club and it is fantastic - the best I have tried in fact. The flavour is very complex - on the inhale, a strong menthol hit with a nice soft chocolate taste in the background. On the exhale you get hit with the vanilla, and that is a nice touch also.
I wish Bowden's Mate was a little cheaper. My go-to is Dopamine by BordO2, which is £12 a bottle, so not cheap either. If this was a similar price, it would be my new go-to. I think I'll ration myself to 1 bottle a month though :-)
By Tyler from Uk
This is my 2nd review of this delicious liquid. I tried it last year and fell in love with the stuff. Been trying lots of other juices since then, and none of them come close to this one. The flavour i'm still getting is a smooth creamy murray mint with a lovely cooling effect. Flavour never goes dull or mute (vapers tongue) like it does with most other juices. Tastes the same toke after toke and never gets tiresome. I've flown through both bottles at an alarming rate so I've never had the chance to let it steep to see if it gets even nicer. If they did this bottle in 120ml I would buy it in a flash. In my last review I docked a point because the price is so high, but i'm starting to think it's worth the money. Never had a dry hit with this stuff either. My other favourite juice is Snake oil by t-max but I quite often get dry hits with that one
By Bigdave from Luton
this juice reminds me of aftereights the mint is not overwhelming chocolate perfect can vape this all day long every day and i do but the bottle runs out very quickly 10/10 big clouds big taste
By Ondrej from Slovenia
Very nice again!
I've tried many of the high rated juices, but still I'm returning back to Five Pawns(Castle Long, Grandmaster, Gambit and now also Bowden's Mate). These liquids are so well balanced and even if they are more expensive than most of the others, they are the best. I've smoked at least a box of cigs per day and spent more than 100 Euro a month on it. Now I spend around 60 Eur per month on Five Pawns and my health, taste improved so much, that I would never go back to smoke tobacco.
Thank Five Pawns and thank to Vapeclub for superb support, packaging, ... :)
My setup: Subtank Mini (1.2, 0.5, custom made coils), iPV Mini II 70W
By Ted from Essex
Really nice flavour!! one for me shoe box..
By Gelston from Grantham UK
I've not tried that many flavours yet but so far this is by far the best. Just like an after eight chocolate. I'm somewhat surprised they spelt the name wrong as it should be Bodens Mate after Sanuel Boden chess player in the 1850's
By Chris from Norwich
What can I say? Simply incredible. Flavour is excellent, with a real depth to it. Sumo sums it up perfectly with Murray mint! Straight off the bat you get a lovely refreshing peppermint, which subtly gives way to a cocoa finish with a dash of vanilla for good measure. It really is hard to put this one down, easily my favourite liquid to date!
Highly recommended.
By Subohmreviews from Bristol
Never been a huge fan of minty vapes - but this one changed my mind completely..
A beautiful creamy vanilla/chocolate mint, great vapour production.
The best part of this juice is the amazing complexity, every exhale is minty fresh, but with a lace of chocolate and vanilla cream.
This has to be one of my favourite liquids hands down and i will continue to vape through bottles of the stuff!!
Highly recommended.
By Lee from Hertfordshire
I am relatively new to vaping and the first liquid I bought was Five Pawns. Having tried numerous cheaper alternatives, nothing seems to come even close to the taste and quality of Five Pawns. I have now given up trying to find a 'go to' liquid and have made peace with fact that I am a Five Pawns vaper through and through. This is my daily vape and although I am going through on average of 4 bottles a month; it is still cheaper than buying cigarettes. When compared to buying 20 fags at nearly £10...yhis liquid is value for money. Gambit comes a close second to Bowden Mate. These are the only liquids I use now. I am using a kanga sub tank mini with istick 20w
By Jonozz from Wrexham
Without a doubt my favourite ejuice after trying close on 40.
As with all Five Pawns juices, the quality is outstanding right from the packaging onward, but this flavour is just perfect.
As others have said, the mint is most prominent but smooth and not like a big menthol type hit. The chocolate compliments it perfectly and gives a creamy luxurious vape especially when sub ohming. Vanilla is very subtle but you can still taste it.
I said to myself I wouldn't use expensive / gourmet juices daily, but have found myself doing so. The difference in quality is worth it, especially compared to the amount I used to spend on cigs. Highly highly recommended.
Used on Istick 50w with Aspire Atlantis 2 @ 30w

All I can say here is quite simply.. If you are a seasoned Vaper like myself, you will instantly, from the first vape, understand why there is such a high price tag on these juices. The depth of flavour is apparent straight away! No 'Bish Bash Bosh + quick steep' process in production here! The flavours are extremely well rounded, balanced, and intensely all there.
Five Pawns are a connoisseur's 'go to' in my opinion & a good set up in hardware is a must to really understand the quality gone into these.
For any wine lovers out there, think this more 'chateauneuf du pap' as apposed to JP Chenet..
