REVIEWS REVIEW BY PEACHES ATKINSON Avocado Milkshake Mango Harmony Smooth Tobacco VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild A truly unique flavoured e-liquid, I had absolutely no idea of what to expect, but all I can say is don't judge a book by its cover. A little apprehensive at first, I decided to ignore my initial feelings towards this e-liquid and give it a go, and I was very pleasantly surprised. As I inhaled, a soft, buttery and quietly sweet tone of avocado met my taste buds. It felt quite odd, as I had imagined it would've been a bit more savoury. There was also a mild earthy element to the avocado that I felt added to the bizarre nature of this deliciously peculiar e-liquid. As I continued to vape this e-liquid, I began to pick up on a more familiar edge of a thick, smooth and fresh dairy cream that joined up with the avocado in a very rewarding way. This juice is truly one of a kind, and I would urge vapers who prefer dessert flavours to try it, despite what they might initially expect. It was a sweet, but not too sweet, delicate and an extraordinarily eye-opening flavour to be able to try. In the vape scene at the moment, mango flavours are a dime a dozen and many are based on drinks, candies or just straight up fruit blends. This e-liquid, however, incorporates juicy, ripe mango with a smooth and buttery tart base. The mango is both aromatic and flavourful, and you can expect a full-bodied, succulent inhale. The more dessert-like elements to this e-liquid are a little less pronounced but can be detected right at the end of the exhale, leaving a pleasant and fruity aftertaste. I came to realise that the tart flavour was very muted, being present just enough to notice, but not enough to fully appreciate it. However, it was a nice change to be able to experience a mango flavour that did not have any cooling agent added. Due to the more subdued aspect of the tart, I would definitely suggest that this e-liquid would be good for fruity fans, as well as many dessert fans. Straight off the bat, I could sense a sweet and wholesome taste of creamy caramel. It was rather pronounced, overtaking the generally more obvious notes of tobacco. The tobacco itself was earthy, rich and smooth. I found it to have a well-rounded edge that was not unpleasant in any way. The absence of any artificial or smoky my opinions of it. These full-bodied tobacco flavours are then met with an intense blend of what I can only discern as a smooth caramel and a soft aspect of creaminess in there for good measure. This e-liquid presents itself in a modest yet surprisingly underrated manner. There were several different layers built into this e-liquid, and this is shown when vaping, as you can pick out many unique sub flavours. I enjoyed this e-liquid immensely, and I think fans of desserts and tobacco vapes will do too. Dolce Lychee Fizzy Orangella Divine Grape VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild A delicately floral note of ripe lychee becomes immediately obvious from the second you begin to inhale. It comes across as both sweet and juicy and reminds me a lot of being on holiday somewhere tropical. I find that lychee flavours often resemble those of rose water, giving the lychee a lush, perfumed taste. Whilst vaping this e-liquid, I found it to be sweet, yet not overly so. It also had an edge of a subtle sourness that I felt complemented the dulcet tones of fresh lychee. Upon exhaling, the most subdued touch of cooling agent came in to play and added an even more refreshing overtone to this already invigorating e-liquid. I particularly respected the likeness of this e-liquids lychee to that of a real lychee fruit, and of course the vivid fresh feeling it gave me whilst vaping it. Fizzy Orangella is a sweet orange flavour that has many aspects of sourness added to it to give this e-liquid a unique edge over other mainstream fizzy orange flavours on the market right now. Inhaling, you come across an effervescent and slightly tangy citrus, as you begin to exhale, sweeter notes become more noticeable. There is a definitive fizzy sensation when vaping this e-liquid, further exaggerating the fact that this is an e-liquid set out to revitalise the senses. The citrus in this e-liquid did not have an odd or unsavoury aftertaste like many other citrus flavours seem to have, but more of a sweet almost candylike orange. A minute touch of iciness bites at the back of exhaling, reiterating the refreshing nature of this e-liquid. Joining many of the others in this line of e-liquids, Divine Grape is yet another flavour to invigorate your senses. A succulent and candylike purple grape makes your mouth water on inhaling and is incredibly intense in terms of flavour. It is both sweet and juicy and reminds me somewhat of either a grape soda or grape bubblegum, due to its powerful taste. This potent grape flavour overlooks a cool exhale that is rather mild in comparison to the fruitier side of this e-liquid. Personally, I could really appreciate the freshness of the grape elements in this specific e-liquid. It did not have a nasty aftertaste whatsoever and I didn't find the flavour sickly at any point whilst vaping. 174 | VM22
