MANGO TWIST – MANGO CREAM DREAM
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: Moderate | Throat hit: Mild
Mango dessert vapes are few and far between, but Twist E-liq-
uid tackle this elusive profile head on with Mango Cream Dream.
The mango here is very authentic and perfectly ripe, just what
you’d expect from Daddy’s Vapor. This is not the usual candied
portrayal and instead provides a soft sweetness and some deep
earthy tropical notes to the blend. This is accompanied by a lux-
urious cream base, which enhances the natural creamy notes of
the mango, whilst seriously boosting the volume and mouth-feel
of the profile. There seems to be some very mild notes of vanilla
here too, which is a great pairing with the rest of what’s going on
here. Mango Cream Dream is a solid choice for fans of dessert
flavours who are looking for something a bit more exotic. COOKIE TWIST – FROSTED SUGAR COOKIE:
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Additional sweetener: High | Throat hit: Mild
Cookie Twist is a simple but classic dessert profile from the Twist
E-liquid team. The top note here is a bright, sweet vanilla frost-
ing, which coats the palate with its sticky mouth-feel. This is defi-
nitely leaning heavily towards confectionery vanilla rather than a
slightly darker natural rendition. The top note is supported by a
heavy bakery base, which tastes spot on to a freshly baked butter
cookie. This adds a bit of texture to the mouth-feel and stops the
sweeter top note from becoming too cloying, but still keeps things
simple. Frosted Sugar Cookie is well-suited to vapers looking for
a simple and sweet dessert flavour. If you like American cookies,
give this one a go.
LEMON TWIST X STRAWBERRY QUEEN
STRAWBERRY MASON LEMONADE
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Throat hit: Mild | Additional sweetener: High
Lemon Twist have become one of the most well-known brands
in the US vaping scene, and they have reached similar levels
of success in the UK as well. Strawberry Mason Lemonade is
the result of a collaboration with their sister company, Strawberry
Queen, so is this the best of both worlds? The top note here is the
same hone-style lemonade that made the original Lemon Twist so
popular. It doesn’t pull any punches with sweetness, but still retains
that extra dimension found in the original. This is complemented by
a less potent strawberry note, which acts as a nice contrast to the
lemon. It has some connotations of a ripe strawberry but comes
across as more of a candied interpretation. This is a blend packed
with flavour, ideal for vapers with a sweet tooth. FRUIT TWIST – TROPICAL PUCKER PUNCH
VG/PG ratio: 70/30
Throat hit: Mild | Additional sweetener: High
Billed as a tropical medley, this is a slightly enigmatic blend from
the Fruit Twist team. The top note is a bright candy pineapple. It
has a slight tartness that you would expect from the real fruit, but
also brings plenty of sticky candy sweetness to the mix. This is
complemented by an equally bright candy orange that turns up
the tropical connotations a notch or two and adds some depth
to the mix. The profile is finished with a mild mixed berry accent.
This brings some darker sweetness to the blend without interfer-
ing with the brighter top notes or confusing the palate. At a guess,
this seems to be strawberry and perhaps blueberry, but it is diffi-
cult to say, as these are not the strongest flavours in the profile.
Another great option for fruit fans who like sweeter vapes.
SUNRISE SMOOTHIE
A delicious and realistic blend of sweet, creamy banana and
smooth strawberries. I found this flavour to taste exactly like a
real smoothie, and not at all artificial. The banana presents itself
as mild, but holds enough flavouring in it to add a unique and well-
rounded element to this e-liquid. The banana is most prominent
during inhalation, and it offers a balanced and subtle sweetness.
As you hold the vapour in your lungs, the smooth strawberry
comes into play. The most accurate way to describe the notes of
strawberry would have to be wholesome, slightly tangy and this
complements the banana perfectly. This is closely followed by a
subtle creaminess that really wraps up the other flavours in a very
satisfying way. Easily the best strawberry and banana flavour I
have ever tried. GRAHAM FINALE
A one-of-a-kind flavour, Graham Finale is a Graham cracker
coated with strawberry jelly. You can certainly pick up on a fruity,
edgy strawberry jam, followed closely by a sweet, and sugary
cinnamon biscuit. The cinnamon is soft and complementary to
the ever-so-slightly sharp strawberry jelly. It comes across as
incredibly smooth and incredibly easy to vape. The jam elements
are more potent, especially when combined with the sweeter
element of a cinnamon biscuit. What I appreciated most about
this juice would be the full on, but not overwhelming, way it vapes.
It has just the right amount of sweetness, without becoming overly
potent. I could definitely see this as an all-day vape. This is a high
VG e-liquid, meaning it’s ideal for sub-ohm setups. Expect great
cloud production.
