Eclypse – Mega Mango Lemonade Eclypse - Melon Medley Lemonade
VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate
Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate
Throat hit: Mild, with cooling
A simple blend from the Eclypse line-up. The top note here is a bright
soda-style mango. It’s moderately sweet, with mild tartness and a
lingering sticky body. This is contrasted with a sharper lemonade
note, which cuts through some of the density of the top note, without
dominating it. While present, the lemonade is well-balanced in the
mix, allowing the mango to take centre stage. The profi le is fi nished
with a light dose of coolant, making for a refreshing beverage vape. Melon blends can be tough to get right, especially with the off notes
that some of these flavourings carry. In this case, Eclypse have done
well. A combination of candy cantaloupe and watermelon are the
main notes. These melons are bright and sweet, with substantial
juicy texture. This is contrasted with a moderate lemonade base that
brings some tartness to the mix, without dominating it. The profi le is
fi nished with a light coolant that does not interfere with the balance
of flavours.
Eclypse – Strawberry Kiwi Lemonade Eclypse - Cheeky Cherry Limeade
VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate
Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate
Throat hit: Mild, with cooling
A classic beverage profi le. A moderate candy kiwi is the top note
here, with mild sweetness and a good helping of tartness. This is
complemented by a mild candy strawberry note which adds further
sweetness and some sticky body. The lemonade base is more present
than in other offerings from the Eclypse line and this is welcome
considering the inherently sweeter nature of the top notes. The lemon
brings additional tartness to the mix without overshadowing the
more delicate kiwi notes. The profi le is fi nished with a light coolant,
making for a simple but refreshing vape. Cherry profi les have historically suffered from heavy medicinal off
notes but Cheeky Cherry Limeade seems to be an exception to the
rule. The top note is an intense candy cherry, without any of the
cough drop connotations. It’s sweet and mildly tart, with a pleasant
candy mouth-feel that lingers for a while after vaping. The limeade
note is quite subtle but does add some citric tang to the mix. The
profi le is fi nished with a light coolant, which adds to the beverage
connotations.
Eclypse - Gushin’ Guava Limeade Eclypse - Burstin’ Blue Lemonade
VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate
Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG Ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate
Throat hit: Mild, with cooling
Guava seems to be growing in popularity among vapers, so is this
one worth checking out? The guava in this case is more intense
than the usual fare. It covers similar candy guava notes, with a
dense sweetness and mouth-feel, but it also has some of the more
pungent florals that are found in the real fruit, giving this profi le added
authenticity. This is contrasted with a mild limeade which adds some
tartness to the fi nish without detracting from the guava, though I do
feel it could be a touch higher in the mix. The profi le is fi nished with a
light coolant, which stops the top note from becoming overbearing. A simple blend of blueberry, raspberry and lemonade. Blueberry tends
to be rather hit or miss in e-liquid but Eclypse have nailed it here.
The blueberry top note has a balanced mix of candy sweetness, mild
tartness and authentic floral notes, without becoming overly heavy
or cloying as it often can do. The raspberry element is quite subtle
but provides additional sweetness. The lemonade base is quite
pronounced but makes a perfect pairing with the blueberry, offering
some welcome citric tang that contrasts wonderfully with the florals.
A mild coolant rounds out the mix nicely, making for a simple, but
moreish, beverage vape that has become my personal favourite of
the Eclypse range.
