STRAWBERRY This Hangsen juice simply labelled strawberry offers a basic flavour to those wanting decent cloud production from a 70/30 juice without the complex ingredients. The first impression from this juice is the scent, or rather the lack thereof. Offering little in the way of the strong scent of other juices you may believe this to be the same in the flavour profile. On the inhale the juice starts with the expected strawberry flavour backed with some sweetness. The strawberry at this point is soft and evenly split between a strawberry and the sweeter flavour behind. Moving onto the exhale, the juice strengthens in flavour. The exhale tastes much more like a strawberry sweet rather than a fresh strawberry. Post-vape there isn’t much in the way of an aftertaste making this juice nice for the casual vaper. ICE MINT The scent of this juice makes expectations clear, if the name hadn’t already. The only smell offered is a strong menthol, that begins to clear the airways as it hits. The inhale continues as expected with menthol, however at this point an undertone of sweetener becomes clear, like a breath mint. The exhale carries an extra flavour to the mix, adding a hint of spearmint which overall creates a minty hardboiled candy flavour. Post-vape the spearmint fades back out, leaving only the menthol and 228 | VM17 FRUIT MIX The name of this juice makes it easy to understand what flavour to expect. The scent of this juice offers more than others from the same manufacturer, however it still isn’t comparable to other juice makers. The scent’s strongest smell is a mix of strawberry, banana and green apple, all of very similar strengths. On the inhale this juice offers predominantly a banana and apple mix creating the base for the rest of this juice’s flavour. On the exhale, all the flavours begin to kick-in harder and with added fruits like green grape, pineapple and strawberry creating a sweet mix on the tongue. Post-vape the apple and banana linger for a short while creating a simple yet tasty juice. BLUEBERRY Another simple flavour from Hangsen. This juice offers a low in strength scent, like that of a packet of fresh, chilled blueberries. Although the scent may suggest a fresh fruit flavour, the inhale isn’t quite so. It starts off with the fresh blueberry flavour however a sweetness is added into the mix creating a flavour that closely resembles candy. This theme continues into the exhale where the sweetness surpasses the blueberry in strength. Post-vape the blueberry flavour remains while the sweetness disappears making this juice more pleasant to vape for longer. HS MENTHOL SENSATION This juice is a little different to that was expected. Starting with the scent. The juice offers a mix of spearmint and menthol, like mouthwash or toothpaste, however this theme doesn’t remain throughout. The inhale is where the spearmint begins, along with an undertone of menthol and sweetener. This flavour strongly resembles a popular strong mint sweet. Moving onto the exhale, the menthol kicks- in harder above the spearmint changing the dynamic of the juice. A pleasant fresh clean minty flavour becomes obvious at this point. Post-vape all flavours diminish leaving behind a cool, clean sensation in the mouth, much like fresh breath.
