N F E R REVIEWS H Melon-Berry Medley Fruit Candy VG/PG Ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild, with cooling VG/PG Ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Minimal Throat hit: Mild, with cooling Melon-Berry Medley is described as a blend of watermelon, strawberry, kiwi and mint. The top note for me is a bold candy watermelon. It’s sweet and bright but unlike many other watermelon flavours, this one doesn’t carry any artifi cial off notes, which is a pleasant surprise. This is paired nicely with a moderate candy strawberry, which provides further sweetness and a lingering berry aftertaste. The kiwi element of this mix is quite subtle but still noticeable, adding a little tartness. The mix is fi nished with a light cooling mint, which results in a refreshing fruity blend with broad appeal. Described rather mysteriously as a blend of candy fruits, this is a rather odd profi le from the Vape Juccier team. The top note appears to be concord grape with plenty of sweetness. This is paired with what seems to be a berry medley, though it is diffi cult to say as this layer is dominated by the more potent grape sitting on top. The mix is fi nished with a moderate helping of menthol, which keeps the profi le light. In my opinion, Fruit Candy comes across as more of a Heisenberg variation, rather than a fruit candy medley. For this reason, it will likely be a popular blend, though I feel the name is a touch confusing. Passionfruit Guava Punch Strawberry Coconut Refresher Fresh Farms describe this as a blend of passionfruit, guava and papaya. All three of these flavours can be very diffi cult to capture in e-liquid, so how do they work together? The dominant flavour for me is a rich candy guava. It’s quite sweet but also brings hints of tropical earthiness to the mix. This is contrasted with a brighter passionfruit, which cuts through the density of the guava and adds some tartness. The profi le is fi nished with papaya, which is subtle but works to add a creamy texture to the profi le without overcomplicating an already vibrant mix of flavours. A well-rounded tropical medley. This is simply described as a blend of strawberry and coconut but there’s almost certainly more going on here than meets the eye. The top note is undoubtedly a bright candy strawberry. It’s sweet, sticky and slightly more tart than you would usually expect but not totally out of character. This is contrasted with a creamy coconut base, which does a good job of adding some volume to the mouthfeel, without over sweetening the mix. There’s an additional tropical tang on the fi nish that doesn’t seem like either of the two named elements of the profi le, it could be pineapple or dragon fruit and in either case, it works to make this an intriguing but simple fruity vape. VG/PG Ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild VG/PG Ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild Blood Orange Cactus Cooler VG/PG Ratio: 70/30 Additional sweetener: Moderate Throat hit: Mild A blend of blood orange, tangerine and cactus. An authentic mix of tangerine and blood orange dominate this profi le. The two are sweet and tart in equal measure and are easily among the best portrayal of the fruits I’ve tasted in e-liquid, even if they are a little sweeter than their real-life counterparts. The cactus is quite subdued, which is surprising because usually it’s such a bold flavour. It’s still adding that unmistakable juicy texture, but I feel it could be a little higher in the mix, as it would serve as a better contrast to the citrus top notes in that case. Regardless, this is a lovely fruit profi le. 222 VM25
