Mango Raspberry Passionfruit

A simple fruit blend from the new Frükt Cyder range. The top
note here is a pungent and sweet mango. It’s what you would
expect from a more natural beverage mango, bringing a heavy,
sticky mouthfeel along with a distinctive earthy sweetness that
lingers for a while after vaping. This is contrasted with a mild
authentic raspberry that cuts through some of the heavier mango
notes with a sharper sweetness and slightly sour tang. Mango
Raspberry is simple but well-balanced and a good contender for
all-day vaping. It’s not often that we see passionfruit as a single flavour profile.
In this case, it’s done very well. This is a bold and bright
passionfruit that brings plenty of tropical sweetness along with
some moderate tartness that ensures that the blend does not
become cloying or overly candy-like. There is a slight stickiness
to the mouthfeel, but not to the point that you would necessarily
identify this as a beverage profile. Overall, this is a simple but
enjoyable fruity vape.

The top note for me is a vivid, authentic blueberry. It brings
moderate sweetness to the blend along with a true-to-life
bitterness and some deeper earthy notes. This is contrasted by
a brighter raspberry, which boosts the sweetness of the profile
along with a good helping of tartness. A mild candy strawberry
sits in the background with a softer sweetness that rounds-off
the tart and bitter edges of the other berry top notes without
muting their authenticity. This is a brilliant berry medley that
many will enjoy. Strawberry and lime has become a staple in vaping over the
years. Here, the top note is an authentic, sticky strawberry. Fans
of strawberry cider will be very familiar with this sweet, almost
jammy strawberry flavour that coats the palate. It’s quite rich but
doesn’t overstay its welcome. This is contrasted by a moderate
lime accent which cuts through the top note with its citric
sweetness and brings some welcome tartness to the blend. This
is among the best strawberry and lime I’ve tried. Another simple
but well-crafted mix from Frükt Cyder.
