REVIEW BY BENEDICT ‘NED’ JONES Hippie Trail Trap Queen VG/PG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: High Throat hit: Moderate, with cooling (20mg/ml nicotine salt) VG/PG ratio: 50/50 Additional sweetener: High Throat hit: Moderate, with cooling (20mg/ml nicotine salt) Nasty Juice describe Hippie Trail as a blend of lemon and lime. The potent candy lemon top note is very bright and brings a sub- stantial sticky body to the mix. There are hints of some authentic sharpness too, but these notes play second fiddle to the hard candy connotations. This is accented by a milder candy lime, which brings a deeper sweetness to the mix and boosts the citric tang of the lemon top note. The profile is finished with an intense coolant that has become part and parcel of the Nasty Juice experience. A refreshing and sweet citrus vape. A classic Nasty Juice flavour reformulated as a nicotine salt offering. Trap Queen is very distinctive. This is a potent, bright strawberry candy that provides plenty of sweetness along with substantial candy mouthfeel and a pleasant tartness. It’s certainly less subtle than other strawberry mixes out there, but this is a hallmark of Nasty Juice and it results in a full-flavoured experience. The profile is finished with a signature blast of cool- ant, which stops that strawberry top note from overstaying its welcome. A simple but enjoyable fruit/ice blend. Cucumber Cooler Grapefruit Gust VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild Once in a while, an e-liquid comes along that totally exceeds expectations. This is one such e-liquid. The moderately strong watermelon top note brings a pleasant sweetness along with some sticky body and mild earthy notes. This is accented by a very mild lime which brings some citric tang to the profile. The star of the show is an authentic vivid cucumber that brings a unique juiciness that I’ve not experienced before. It’s the perfect complement to the watermelon top note and makes for a mellow, fruity all-day vape. A must try for fruit fans. The authentic grapefruit top note tastes spot-on to the real thing, bringing a full-bodied citric sharpness that is sure to cleanse the palate. This is supported by a sweeter guava that tames some of the top note’s sharpness, while providing a dense, fleshy texture. The subtle strawberry bolsters the overall sweetness of the mix without interfering with the authenticity of that stunning grape- fruit. This is among the very best grapefruit blends I’ve tried. Any citrus fan would be remiss not to give it a go. VM23 | 209
