DOCTOR FOSTER : Black Pearl
VG / PG RATIO : 70 / 30
This e-liquid offers notes of deep , succulent and somewhat sour blackcurrant , followed closely by a delicate taste of juicy blueberries . The most noticeable flavour element though , was the exceptionally cool menthol kick . It was powerful enough to take over the more subdued berry notes , but in an intriguingly well-executed manner . The vast majority of fruit and menthol flavoured e-liquids I have tried , tended to be more focused on the fruity side of things , with menthol taking a back seat . Black Pearl , however , seemed to be more menthol-based , with the berries softly accenting the cold rush you feel when inhaling this e-liquid . I personally found that these proportions worked really well .
DOCTOR FOSTER : Reganberry
VG / PG RATIO : 70 / 30
Arguably one of the most unique collection of flavours I have tried so far , Reganberry was a real treat . This e-liquid manages to encapsulate a range of different elements , including fruits , sweets and just a pinch of menthol . For me , the initial and most obvious flavour was a light and sharp cherry , accompanied with a blend of mixed berries . Smooth and subtle menthol notes closely follow to complement the fruity elements in a way that was understated yet delightful . The pièce de résistance , however , was the incredibly rich and decadent marzipan flavour I got when exhaling . The weird and wonderful addition to an already pleasant flavour , I felt that the marzipan boosted this e-liquid to a whole new level .
DOCTOR FOSTER : Juicy Lemon
VG / PG RATIO : 70 / 30
An immediate , electrified zap of lemon is unmistakable when first vaping this e-liquid . I felt this e-liquid seemed to incorporate not just one variant of a lemon flavour , but several . I picked up on a sharp and sour lemon , a fizzy sherbety lemon and also a fresh lemonade - all of which were stunning . Simple lemon flavours are nice enough , but it ’ s the complexity that gives this e-liquid an edge over other lemon-based flavours . To me , I loved the fact that this is both a complex AND a simple flavour . The lemon notes were on point and the lack of other flavours gave the lemon a chance to flourish . It was presented as sweet , intricate , a little sour and very well-rounded .
DOCTOR FOSTER : Natural Mint
VG / PG RATIO : 70 / 30
One for the icy fans out there , Natural Mint is the ultimate menthol flavour . Reinvigorating and sharp peppermint takes centre stage , with a bold and powerful quality to it that strongly resembles the taste of peppermint chewing gum with very little sweetness to it . If that wasn ’ t cold enough for you , the flavour is compounded with a potent and bracing menthol that will certainly knock your socks off . Although I ’ m not usually much of a fan when it comes to purely mint or menthol flavours , I could see that many would love this e-liquid for its cold and refreshing features . If you like menthol-based flavours , you ’ re going to want to try this gem .
DOCTOR FOSTER : Mixed Berries
VG / PG RATIO : 70 / 30
A personal ‘ go to ’ of mine , berry flavours offer vapers a fruity , mouth-watering sensation - and this e-liquid is no exception . It brings together a smorgasbord of ripe and juicy berries , including sweet raspberries , fresh strawberries and sour blueberries . The mix of delectable berries gives vapers a lip-smacking experience that can really liven up your taste buds . Berry notes dominate the overall flavour incredibly , but there is a touch of cooling menthol that brings this e-liquid to life . The menthol is very delicate and will not overwhelm vapers who usually steer clear of cold flavours . I thoroughly appreciated the intense and unequivocal juiciness that the berry tones offered and the low-key menthol that gave this e-liquid a bit of a pop .
DOCTOR FOSTER : Tropical Mango
VG / PG RATIO : 70 / 30
Possibly my favourite in this line of e-liquids , I was surprised at how well I got on with it . Mango flavours can be hit or miss , but this one has hit it right out of the park . The mango smells hyper-realistic and you can pick out the familiar , juicy notes that you would with an actual mango . Taste-wise the mango is marginally less life-like , but still conveys a good level of flavour . It oozes a powerful , fruity punch on every inhale and you can really appreciate the juicy , ripe and tropical nature of the mango on exhaling . I couldn ’ t pick up on any hints of menthol in this e-liquid , which for me was welcomed . I found that the simplicity of this e-liquid is what makes it such a great option for vapers . Overall , a straightforward , no messing about , delicious flavour for all vapers to enjoy .
