Mango Indian Special Blueberry Fruity Candy

Mango is one of the most popular flavour profi les in e-liquid and yet
it has always been tough to mix correctly. Most offerings are potent
and present some unforgiving off notes or dominant flavours that
aren’t always desirable. Enter Mango Indian Special. This is a bright
and sweet soda-style mango that tastes excellent at a wide range
of percentages in the mix and scales nicely, whether you want it to
be the star of the show or a light accent. Expect a lot of new mango
e-liquids to come to market in the very near future, because this one’s
a winner. There’s always room for more blueberry flavourings, since it’s such
a complex aroma and many of the currently available options need
help to work in bolder mixes. Blueberry Fruity Candy lives up to its
name partially with a pleasant candy sweetness and mouthfeel but
it also delivers substantial florals and earthy notes that give this
flavouring a more natural connotation overall. This is quite close to
being a complete all-in-one blueberry but funnily enough it actually
works best to add authenticity to a candy blueberry mix which uses
a sweeter blueberry.
Mango Fruity Juicy Rhapsody

Another new mango from Flavour Art. While this is certainly a
pleasant flavour, I feel the name is misleading in this case. There are
some mango connotations to be found here but for the most part I’m
picking up citrus notes, predominantly lime, at any percentage. I feel
this concentrate is best used as an accent to fruit or beverage mixes
that need some extra zest and tropical sweetness. Treat this as a
tropical enhancer rather than a mango cornerstone. Part of Flavour Art’s blended tobacco range, Rhapsody is certainly an
interesting flavouring. This one has an intense woody flavour, along
with some light golden tobacco and moderate herbal notes. There
could be a little fruit in here too, but this may also just be the inherent
sweetness of the tobacco. There’s a lot going on here and it may
not be for everyone but it can be a useful tool for creating intricate
tobacco mixes.
Blueberry Juicy Ripe
Percentage used and VG/PG ratio of mix:
3% at 70/30
Another new blueberry from Flavour Art. This is quite different from
Blueberry Fruity Candy. The easiest way to describe this flavouring
is that it’s absolutely spot on to the flavour of blueberry juice, from
the mild sweetness, to the earthiness and moderate bitterness on
the fi nish. This is one of the most complete blueberry additives I’ve
tried to date and will immediately add depth and authenticity to any
berry mix which is lacking those qualities. Again, I do not see this as
a standalone blueberry but it will be a very useful tool for advanced
mixers.
