REVIEW BY BENEDICT ‘NED’ JONES Marshmallow Man Boyd’s Bounty Dragon Drops 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 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. Choco Donuts AQUA – Rainbow Drops AQUA – Flow 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 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. VM23 | 207
