Marshmallow rarely plays a central
role in dessert blends, so does it work?
The sugary sweet, fluffy top note is
unmistakably marshmallow. This is
supported by a rich custard base quite
unlike other custards, with egg note and
a much stronger vanilla. Marshmallow
Man is true to its description and one for
the sweet-toothed vaper. The moderately rich oatmeal cookie top
note and unique raisin accents bring
plenty of dark sweetness and texture
to this mix. This is accented with a light
tobacco that complements the bakery
elements with additional dark sweetness.
The mix is finished with a mild cream
base that adds even more volume. This
is a fantastically unique dessert tobacco
e-liquid. Dragon fruit and lychee ice cream is a
rather odd combination, so does it work?
The mellow candy dragon fruit top note
brings a pleasant tropical tartness and a
mild sticky body. This is contrasted with
a subtle and lightly floral lychee. These
notes are supported by a rich vanilla
ice cream base. This is a unique and
thoroughly enjoyable tropical dessert.

This simple yet ambitious blend opens
with a moderately strong chocolate
cream top note that’s very close to
a chocolate icing. The chocolate is
supported by a rich, buttery donut base.
The profile is finished with a light vanilla
cream that prevents the blend from
becoming too dry and helps layer the
chocolate and bakery notes. This is a
competent, if rather heavy, dessert vape. This profile packs in a lot of fruits without
muddying the flavours. The candy
lemon and orange lend a nice citric
tartness. A concord grape provides a
deep sweetness as the candy strawberry
bridges the deeper grape and brighter
citrus. A moderately strong candy green
apple adds sticky body. This is a bright
and vibrant candy flavour. Vivid candied and authentic pineapple
notes dominate here, bringing a pleasant
tropical sweetness and some lovely
sharper notes. This is accented by a
moderately strong candy guava, which
bolsters the sweetness while adding a
dense candy stickiness. A somewhat
subdued mango wraps up this very
enjoyable and summery tropical medley.
