Papricot Custard Papricot is probably my favourite e-liquid out of the three . When I received it , and proceeded to open the cap off of the bottle , and a blast of smooth almost creamy aroma of peachy , apricot hit my nostrils . Now , due to the name of this e-liquid stating that this is a custard flavour , I assumed that the custard was the most prominent flavour and was going to be strong . On the contrary , I found that the custard took the back seat in terms of flavour , allowing the fruitier tones to take the reins and really make this juice pop . The custard element to this flavour is light and unassuming , the creaminess adds to the whole experience of vaping this juice . What you tend to find , is that custard flavouring is haphazardly added to fruit flavours and really ruins the taste , as the two components clash and may smell nice , but when vaping it , it becomes overwhelming – and not in a good way . However , Papricot Custard has really smashed it with matching two very different types of flavours . On inhalation is when the fruity flavours of apricot and sweet peach are most predominating , and as you begin to exhale is when the soft touch of vanilla custard rounds off the flavour of this fantastic juice . This e-liquid is very unique , sweet and appealing , with all of the flavours that are both complex yet perfectly executed . It will be particularly alluring to sweet tooths and fruity fans ! 4 / 5
Sour Blue Sorbet This flavour is highly reminiscent of a blue raspberry iced slushy . Unlike countless others that claim to taste sour , this juice steps up to the plate and truly delivers possibly the most peculiar sensation of mouth-watering sourness that I have ever had the chance to experience . I thoroughly enjoyed the unequivocal sharp , tangy edge to this e-liquid . You may find that this element of flavour is more pronounced on the inhale , and on the exhale is when you can most appreciate the delicate , mild undertone of minty menthol . I think it pairs well and helps create the sensation of coldness in relation to the presence of ice , in iced slushy flavours . This really brings it all together in a unique and well-executed e-liquid . I think that this juice will appeal to those of you who prefer either fruity , candy or menthol flavours , although I would at least recommend that you should try it purely for the incredibly realistic and strong notes of sour blue raspberry on the inhale . Overall , an enticingly pleasant and powerful blast of flavour that works surprisingly well , bridging the gap between candy e-liquid and menthol ones . 3 / 5
Té Té is a complex and intricate tea flavour that has obviously been carefully crafted with high standards coupled with precision . To me , this e-liquid came across as a lemon mint tea that was both refreshing and unique . I found it to be rather similar to herbal cough sweets – but much more complicated and distinctive . There are hints of Jasmine tea . The lemon in this flavour is not sour or artificial tasting , it tastes just like lemon tea , something I found worked well , as an artificial lemon would be more akin to sherbet or candy flavoured e-liquid . The tea element is not just ‘ tea ’, to me , it holds more than just a generic flavour and includes other types of tea , such as jasmine . It is wholesome and revitalising , giving you a very satisfying vaping experience . To round it off , there is a touch of menthol , not a sharp , icy menthol , but a slighter and almost herbal taste to it . The menthol used in this juice is very complimentary to the other flavours and helps create the complexity that is sometimes hard to find in e-liquids . Overall , the flavours work really well together and I think that this juice would appeal to those who like soft , smooth yet mentholated e-liquids . 3 / 5
