REVIEW BY PEACHES ATKINSON VAPE SYNDROME MAD BOYS Lychee Honeydew Mango Lychee Pineapple and Blackcurrant PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild As a huge fan of honeydew flavoured e-liquids, I was intrigued to try this flavour. It is a full-on blend of incredibly realistic and fragrant lychee fruit, paired with a softer, sweeter yet still delicious honeydew melon. Right on the first inhale, there was an instant blast of a wonderful array of ripe, fruity flavours that really made my mouth water. The powerful lychee elements give the slightly more subdued honeydew notes an invigorating edge that livened it up a little. The honeydew reciprocates this and softens the lychee in a calming and well-executed way. Overall, this e-liquid produced an incredible level of flavour. It didn't come across as being too sweet and still managed to offer an unmatched blast of fruitiness. Any fruity fans out there will no doubt enjoy this flavour from Mad Boys. A delicate yet flavourful blend of ripe and juicy mango, paired with aromatic and sweet lychee. Mango is a very popular flavour out there at the moment, and it is easy to see why. This flavour offers an amazingly wholesome flavour that will not disappoint. The balance between the mango and lychee is spot on. You can really notice each flavour separately, and this gives this e-liquid a really great and rather unique edge, as many flavour constituents tend to blend in together making it more difficult to discern the flavours as a whole. I would certainly recommend this e-liquid to fans of strong, fruity and fragrant flavours. A slightly more unique flavour in this line, Pineapple and Blackcurrant is still just as powerful and fruity as the previous two. The pineapple is most noticeable when inhaling and presents a juicy and rather sour, yet still pleasant, flavour. As you begin to exhale you will find that there is an undertone of sweet, ripe blackcurrant. The blackcurrant is particularly enjoyable, mainly due to the softening effect that it has on the more potent pineapple. Both flavours work well together and you can really notice this when vaping this e-liquid. There is an extremely minute touch of iciness that gives this e-liquid a fantastic refreshing edge, perfect for a summertime vape. LUNATICS GAL Mad Grape Crazy Pineapple Sweet & Sour Mango PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild A delectably sweet mixture of ripe red grapes and slightly sour raspberries, this e-liquid is another one for fruit lovers. There is a touch of cooling agent that you can notice when taking a big inhale, and it leaves a cold sensation on the back of your throat. The fruity flavours are obvious throughout the vaping process; however they are most apparent as you are exhaling, therefore helping the full-on blend of grape and berries to be even more pronounced. Both the berries and the grape elements are very similar, making it a little difficult to pick out the individual flavours within this e-liquid. I particularly liked the simplicity of this flavour, as well as the cooling effect on the inhale. A milder, yet sweet pineapple flavour is noticeable straight away, just as you open the bottle. There is a fragrant and soft aroma of pineapple and the fact that this flavour seemed to be a little more laid back in terms of how strong the flavour was overall made it intriguing to try, as I have tried countless, extremely powerful and sour pineapple flavours. As I inhaled, I could gather a softer note of ripe pineapple. The flavour as a whole was a bit more pronounced than what I was expecting, yet I still enjoyed it. This e-liquid is rather basic in terms of flavour, as there are only a few discernible elements within. Although this e-liquid was uncomplicated, it was still very effective and flavourful. Pretty obvious due to the name of this e-liquid, but this flavour was bang on with its sweet and sour elements. As I was vaping it, the inhale was where I could really pick up on the sour effect that made me wince and made my mouth water. As you start to exhale, the sweet, zesty and very realistic mango flavour takes centre stage. Again, this e-liquid contains a tiny amount of cooling agent, only enough to give this flavour a little kick, and not too much either. The thing I most appreciated about this e-liquid would have to be the sour sensation it had on my tongue, and how it literally made my mouth water. THE LUNATICS Honey Dew PG/VG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild I’ve said this before. I am a massive fan of honeydew melon flavoured e-liquids. This flavour, however, is probably even more enjoyable than any other honeydew e-liquid I've tried. There are no unnecessary complications in terms of flavour constituents, this e-liquid is a straight up and incredibly lifelike honeydew melon. This e-liquid is sweet and very palatable and gives you just enough sweetness to enjoy it, without having too much that could make it sickly over time. The thing I most appreciated about this e-liquid was just how lifelike it was. Many e-liquid flavours can't quite manage to nail this taste, however, this one is a major exception, as it tastes just like you are biting into a wedge of melon. VM22 | 185
