REVIEW BY BENEDICT ‘NED’ JONES Strawberry Sour Belt On Ice Tangy Tutti Fruity On Ice Cool Lemon Sherbet VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling The intense candy strawberry top note has a bright, tangy sweetness and sticky mouthfeel which lingers long after vaping. This is complemented by a moderate candy base which works alongside the candy strawberry, providing legitimate sourness. The tang but does not detract from the strawberry at all. The blend is finished with a moderate blast of coolant for a fresh, simple but full-flavoured candy vape. The potent candy rhubarb top note provides a sharp sweetness, sticky mouthfeel and heavy tang. This is supported by a sweet fruit cocktail. These notes are strong but difficult to define, but there are certainly traces of berry and citrus. The profile is finished with a moderate coolant that keeps things light. This intriguing fruity mix will be enjoyed by adventurous vapers. There are countless lemon candy vapes on the market, so does this relative newcomer stand out? The candy lemon is potent and vivid. It has a lip- smacking tang and bright sweetness that is very nicely balanced. The top note is supported by a fizzy citrus candy which adds even more vibrancy. The mix is finished with flavourless coolant, resulting in a very enjoyable summery lemon vape. Bubblegum Drumstick On Ice Sour Apple Refresher On Ice Super Rainbow Candy On Ice VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild, with cooling The potent candy bubble gum top note brings a sticky sweetness without overstaying its welcome. This is supported by a raspberry cream candy which brightens up the bubble gum and contrasts with the subtle creamy body. The profile is finished with a moderate helping of coolant. This is an intriguing and moreish candy vape and my personal favourite of the Strapped line. A sour apple sherbet blend with a heavy green apple candy top note. This flavour provides an intense sour punch and vivid sweetness along with some serious sticky body. This is accented with a milder citrus sherbet that enhances the sour tang and the brighter sweetness of the top note. The profile is finished with a moderate dose of coolant, resulting in an intense candy vape ideal for lovers of all things sour. The bright candy orange provides plenty of sweetness but isn’t as sharp as you would expect from a more natural portrayal. This is supported by a candy lime which adds a deeper sweetness and some tartness. These dominant citruses are complemented by the softer sweetness of mixed candy berries which counter the sharper lime. The icy coolant cuts through the sweet layers, resulting in a nicely balanced candy vape. VM23 | 215
